of great value.
?"We have heard some complaint
:about the lighting of the back streets
at night, and though we know that the
funds of the town "will not allow of it,
Tve think that perhaps if they would
burnish a few lamps, and set up the
posts, that private individuals would
be willing to supply the oil.

of a few days, beat the veterans.

?Some complaint has been made
about the matter of a public watering-,
or rather a drinkinsr place in town.
The public pump has been out of tix
for six months, and the country people
do not know where to go to get a
drink ot' water yhen in town. We

?The firm of A. 11. Nicholson &
Co.. of Woodwards. made an assignment
Wednesday to Jno. Ii. Craig", for
the benefit of their creditors. It is
understood that their liabilities are
between seven and eight thousand
dollars, and it is- thought that the
assets will very nearly cover this
amount.
?The vbservsuoe of the immortal I
Goave-s birthday in Winnsboro was.!
to state a paradox, not observed at ail |

the night train for Lancaster, where
they wil! reside.?Columbia Register.
We extend our best wishes to the
couple.
?Policeman McMaster has in his
possession a counterfeit ten cents, made
in the year 1S57. It has evidently
been in circulation ever since that
period, for a gentleman not knowing
it was counterfeit, offered it in payment

and that is how Mr. McMaster came
to get it. The piece is identically
like the real ten cents, and can only
13 detected by its ring.
?The Ifutal Life Insurance Company,
since its organization in 1843.
has paid to its policy-holders $2S7,581,948.20
The wonderful growth of
the Company is due in a large degree
to the freedom from restriction and
irksome conditions in the contract and
to the opportunities for investment
svhich are offered in addition to
indemnity in case of death. The Mutal
Life was the first to practically
undertake the simplification of the
insurance contract and strip it of a
rerbiage in the mazes of which could
be found innumerable refuges against
claims of policy-holders "who had,
however unwittingly, departed from
:he strict letter of the agreement,
rhat this appealed powerfully to the
popular taste is evident from the fact
:hat in 1S89 the company wrote over
5151,000,000 of new Insurance.
?It is very rarely that "Old
?rcbs." ever telis the cxact truth, but
le made such a beautifully correct
juess Thursday that we think it only
.'air that wo should note it. The
reeather despatch Thursday read,
'Hoist cold ware signal; temperature
iv: 11 fall 31 degrees by S a. in. Friday."
Maj. Pagan, who by the way
is much more correct than i-01d
Probs.," says that the thermometer
'ell exactly 31 decrees l'rom the time
he flag was hoisted till 8 a. in. Friiay,
it being 74 when the flag wasloisted,
and 40 at S a. m. Friday.
kVc congratulate the weather departnent,
and only hope we may more
ally rely on them in the summer,
:>ccc.usc usually m mat season cne iair
weather signal is flying during weeks
>f incessant rain, and the rain signal
luring a severe drought.
Supervisor of Census.?The superrisor
of census for this, the second
listrict, is Delevan E. Yates. "We are
nforaicd that he lives in Aiken.

built across the ditches, drains

New Advertisements.?Any one
wishing a good cotton planter, will
>nly have to *tep down to li. M.
luey's, and ask for jViaj. Pagan, who
an suit every one.
We call attention to G. a. White's
idvertisement in this issue. He has a
'rep" for apple pies, nut?, cakes, raiins
and good thing's in genera'.
A Bikd Stoky.?One of our young
nen informs us that while Jyiug in
)ed the other morning, two sparrows
tugaged in a "mortal combat," flew
n the wiudow, ana on the bed
yhere he qnicklv grabbed them. He
;ays his mind instinctively wandered
o the old saying; "the early bird
jatches the worm," but this time the
nrd was caught.
A Promising Industry.- lion. J. D.
ilarrison, of Fairfield, we learn, save
ioinc attention to the harvesting of
iay on the Wateree River last year
ust above Chesnui's Ferry. He has
ihrsnt 100.000 nounds which he is Dat
ing up in bales. We understand
hat be will devote considerable attcn.ion
to the hay crop this yesr. This
seems to in to be quite a premising
industry. ? Wateree Messenger.
Drath ?Miss Minnie Brown, of
CJreenbrier, nsrert sevenly-five rears,
was buried Sunday in Bethel Cemetery.
She was for a number of year*
a, con:-i&tent member of the Methodist
Church, who>e whole life was one of
stmiablenes* and Christian fortitude.
This death is peculiarly sad in that her
sister as has been previously reported
in this paper departed this life a few
weeks pi nee.

intendent of Education has refused a
petition fur * writ of mandamus to
compcl the Superintendent of Education
to make the apportionment of
school funds according lo the plan
usually adopted before the present
commissioner made the change. The
decision will not effect the merits of
the case, but is simply a decision that
a mandamus was not the method to
obtain the desired end.

Iron axd Goid Deposits.?a large
vein of iron th*.t has been traced
through twelve ?crt?, has beeh found
on the Melton plate, about sixteen
mileb below Winneboro. The quality
of the or? is said to be vcvy pure, a
miner pronouncing it to eontaVSO per
cent, of iron. Specimens haviK been
sent to Pittsburg, Pa , and specialists
say the ore is of a very superior gra<3e,
containing more iron than any depos.it
lately found. But what makes the find
even more interesting is the existence
of gold on the game plantation; particles
ot the precious metal, it is claimed,
can be seen with the naked eve. The
iron is thought to underlie and is the
bed of sixty acres. The owners of this
find are O. \\\ Buchanan, Levi Melton
and Samuel Alley.
A company is to send an expert iu a
few days to investigate, with a view of
ascertaining the amouut and quality of
the deposit and of taking stock in the
enterprise.
A High Compliment.?Miss Lilla
Beaty has been elected teacher of
mathematics in the Piesbyterian
School for young ladie?, which will
soon be opened in Columbia. Miss
Beaty was at one time a pupil, at
Mount Ziou and subsequently taught
in the tame school, where she developed
peculiar talents for the work.
She determined to pursue her studies

iurmer atiu accorui:igi\ aiu-imcu i?itoo
Baldwin's school, making mathematics
a specialty. After finishing her course
at Miss Baldwin's her ability was
recognizcd by her election as a teacher
in the institution. Miss Beaty is a
young lady possessing naturally very
quick part?, which have been strengthened
by close application and superior
educational fecilities. With a taste
and talent for the abstract science,
rarely found in a woman, and superior
didactic and di?p!inar\ powers,
Miss Beaty will fill the position with
success. Her election is an honor
worthily conferred.
Personal.?Mr. Jas. Coan, wlio
has been buying cotton in this market

has moved back into Fairfield where
he says he expects to spend the
balance of his days. He is now on
the plantation which thrirty vears ago
passed out his hand and is the old
family home. Mr. Elkin claims the
right to be called a South Carolinian
his ancestors for four generations
having lived in this State. Though he
has passed three score years and ten
the old gentleman says he still is.' active
enough to tire out many of our
younger men who would undertake
to carry the surveyors chain for him.

the act of painting his or their

The farmers seem to be making fine *
progress with tbeir work and, indeed, =
I think, they ought to make "telling *

weather as we have enjoyed since 1
Xmas has no precedent within the ?
recollection of the present generation. *
Spring is almost here with her birds, *
flowers and with her green fields and

be heard, which announces that she is
on her war, and that seed time is nigh
at hand.

number of rears has been living at her ^

relatives, will discontinue her resi- ^
dencc at the above named piacc and

that we have heard of save the advent

who arc visiting at the residence of
Mr. Uriah Trapp. ^
Mr. Joe Smith, of Columbia, is
spending some time in the neighborhood.
Miss Kebecca Trapp, who has been ^

There was given at the residence of ^
Mr. A. G. Bookman a dance on the

the county offices are neatly kept, and
are themselves tlie liighest testimony
to the care, accuracy and methodical
attention of the respective county
officers.
"We have examined carefully the
books and reports of the various" Trial
Justices, and find them correctly and
neatly kept.
No" complaint has been made to us
- ' I'l!
at this term ot tnc concilium vl iuc
roads and bridges in any part of the
County. This shows the attention
given by our Board of County Commissioners
to this most important
branch of their various duties; and it
is gratifying to the Gaand Jury that
they are able to report the County
affairs to be in such excellent order.
Complaint has been made to us that
the various saloon keepers in the Town
of Winnsboro utterly disreguard the
Statute law providing that "every
person taking out a license for sale of
spirituous liquors * * * snail sen
the same in a room fronting- the public
street, without any screen, curtain or
other device for preventing the passing
public from fully -viewing what umbo
transpiring within." In the opinion
of the Grand Jury, this law, if strictly
enforced cannot fail of producing
good results; and we respectfully
recommend that this matter be pressed
on the attention of the prosecuting
officers of the State. .
"We desire to call the attention of
our representatives to the defect in the
law relating to the School Commissioner
and liis office. It appears that
in case of the sickness of the School
Commissioner or his incapacity from
any other cause to perform the" duties
of "his office there is no person authorized
by law by whom those duties can
be performed. Tliis is indeed a
serious defect, productive of very
great inconvenience, at times and
should be remedied as speedily as
possible.
It appears that an additional table is
in cwk's office. "We
HV^VA^Vl Jlii
recommend that the County Commissioners
procure such a table as may be
asked for by the Clerk.
A" committee of the Grand Jury
have visited the Poor House, and have
examined into the condition thereof,
and of the farm connected therewith.
They find the entire matter to be
admirably and economically managed;
and in good order. The comfort and
health of the inmates are properly
looked after; and no complaint of anv
kind was made to the committee.
In conclusion we desire to thank
your Honor for your lucid and care

Whereas, God, in His infinite wis- ja,
dom, has seen proper to remove from
our midst oar esteemed and worthy
brother, Joseph P. Robertson; we an(
feel deeply the loss of our brother, he tioi
being one of onr faithful members; ^
though he was in feeble health for tee
Rit
over a year, he was a patient and un- ^
complainiugr sufferer. He was gentle Sal
and kind in liis dealings. But, alas,
be is gone; we mourn the death of Ma
duu brother, but not like thou that Co1
have no hope, tor while his body rests
in the silent grave we have a reasou- jj0t
ible hope that his spirit is in the beau- j)n
tiful home of the soul, where sickness
md sorrow, pain and death are felt no
more; and we trust he is now feasting g
)n the beatitudes and glories of the S
aeavenly world; therefore, be it re- ^
solved, \
1. That we, the members of White P
Dak Farmers' and Laborers' Union,
STo. 991, do sincerely lament the deDarture
of one of our number, and ?
judcared to us by his uniform good ?
Jeportment, and "his kind and gentle
svay. ^
2. That in his death the Alliance has J|
cf- ? wnrthr member and the com- ^
nunity a good citizen. J ^
3. That as a mark of respect to the W
nemory of oar deceased brother, that J
here be left a blank page in onr min- /
ite book.
4. That we deeply sympathize with
lis relatives in their" bereavement and thi
oss.
5. That these resolutions be sent to
