John T. Chalmers* friends in "VVinnsbore
are pleased to know that lie will

formed the congregation at Dae West
that the call i? declined and his reasons
f?r doing fo are: First, the action
taken by his own people relative to his
resignation two years ago on account
of failing fecaith: second, subsequent
indications of increased attachment
and growing usefulness on the part of
both pastor and people: third, the
absence of any indubitable indicat:on
of Divine Province to the contrary.
Mr. Chalmers is not only useful in our
community in hi? ministerial capacity
but he is a good citizen and we are
very much gratified that he has seen
proper to remain with us.

This-lill'?J)'jne of rear that every j
one makes new rc8olirrrori~.a^LL tries to
stick up to thera some do, antl seme
slip up. To those that do. we say,
well done: to those that slip up, we
say, try again.
AVe would suggest a few resolves
for this year:
1 T.At mi(? unf v?en1r*> <n rln
too much.
2. Let every one resolve to be a
better frieiul and neighbor to his neighbor
than lie has been last year.
3. Let every citizen of the town - resolve
that he will put his shoulder to
the wheel and help push things and
make this town what it ought to -be.
one of the liviest and busiest in the
State.
4. Let every ?ne resolve thai he will
quit grumbling about hard times and
dull trade and poor collections, and the
town being dead; and let him go to
work and lend his aid to wake a live
town, remembering tlaat it is neces
sai'Y ior CTWiy muiviuuai in * mmmunity
to do his share of -work in
order to make that community prosperous.
5. Let all who do not lubscribe to or
advertise in Thk News axd Herald
rssolv? that beginning- with to-day they
will do both. We know yen will reap
profit both -ways:?if you subscribe
you >vill get news and if you advertise
you will got trade.
C. Let every voter in thr county
resolve that he will vote for the subscription
to the two new railroads bo
badly weeded through our county at
the election which will soon be called
by our County Commissioners to de
ride that question, and hoi only rote
himself, but bring out seme friend or
neighbor who may possibly forget it,
to vote for railroads also.
7. Let every township iu this county
resolve to organize at oncej a Prize
Club, and then let each club resolve to
beat all others in making improvement
and advancement in agricultural
matter?. Get up a friendly but active
rivalry and good wi 1 come out of it.
8. Let every farmer in Fairfield resolve
that he will lend his aid, both in
time and money, toward* making the
next County Institute th best yet held,
and thus showing to the State what
the resources of our grand old county
are.

TBAXKS TO THE WHITE PEOPLE.
Xtssrs. Editors: We feel it our duty
a? well as our privilege to return
thanks to our white Clients tor-their
kindness toward" us for their contributions
for the emancipation celebration
; and we further >ay to our people
that they cannot find no better white
friends tl an we have in \Viiiti>boro;
thev are always willing to help the
progress and e.'evaiion of the colored
people. We h>pe our people wili not
forget that a friend in need i< a friend
indeed. It ruts bewi ?-aiii by some that
the while people do not want to see
the colored people become propertyholders
and educitor*, bat that is a tad
mi?:ake. 1 hnv* always tounu uicm
willing to help !hnre who are wiliingto
hoitheniM-lv-"'.
1sty to my coloml liieiids that it
has been suid that the i?a??er does not
publish oar act- altogether. One leason
why, \tc fail io take th? paper.
When we become interested in our
county paper then we will ?et all the
credit that is due u?.
I say to those who wish to make
their homes in Winnsboro and Fairfield
county, they cannot find a better
place in the State. There are over
twenty-iire lots to-day for sale. They
can be bought ou reasonable terms?
$20 cash and $1.00 per month until
paid for. Education and property is
what will make u?. Now let us accept
of these opportunities.

Through every pulse the Music stole,
And held sublime communion with the
Soul;
VTrun r from the coyest Breast the imprison'd
sigh,
And kindled rapture in the coldest Eye.
Such wa? the effect as the airs of
music touche.l the ears of those who
gayly danced, on list "Wednesday night
under the sway of the sweet power of
Bearden'* Band. Whether the murmuring
dvinv notes that fell "as soft
as the anow ou the sea," or the passionate
strains that shook the heart
trembling, whether slow or quick, they
all alike, in their concord of sweet
sounds, sweetened the pleasure,
-cjv^kened the b?at of the heart, made
the wyes sparkle and flash with delight;
and the subtle bloom of youthful
checks, never vet ploughed with sorrows,
gave their possessors grace and
glow, "as the dew-chrism of early
dawn graces the lily."
Under the well-kept time ?f a b?au
tiful march rolling its delightful
measures up and down, from corner
to-corner, from side to side, from the
Boor to the ceiling-of the large armory,
until the whole building rererberated
and seemed, attuned to its enchanting
hofes and echoed back with enraptured
dtlight, the merry dancers came forth,
two by two, richly and gaudily attired;
some dignified, stately and preud;
some full of the restlessness and thojj^
of girlhood and its auroral light illuminating
them; some with a reckless
bearing^ but all filling almost faultlessly
their respective personation?.
Thuf was begun the much-talked-of
fancy ball.
. It was a scene brim full of splendor
such ae has never keen seen in Winnsboro
before. Verily, it did seem to
one, beholding that charming troupe
~-c t l 1
U1 ueaiUll U1 1I1U iiaim?uinc rrumcuj
that Tennyson spoke the truth, and
not without tltought, when he said of
woman:
No Angel, but* dearer beintr, all dipt.
In Angel instincts, breathing Paradise,
Interpreter between <iods and men,
Who looked all native to her place, and yet
On tiptoe secuied to touch upon a sphere
Too gross to tjread, and a!i male minds
perforce
Swayed to her from their orbits as they
inoVed 1
And cirdleJ her with music.
Y?s, as tnt throng moved to ana fro
it was grand, a picture of dazzling
glory and unspeakable splendor; and
the tendsr lips breaking with the
brightness of smile all abaut the scene
and the manly bearing of manly men,
gallant and brave, were enough to provoke
the profoundest admiration.
The Maid at the Court of England
walked proud and wore ihe stamp of
dignity on her brow; JNignt witn ner
dewy freshness lilled the air aud
through the dark bl*e depths of space
her stars loeked the spectacle with
their silYery rays; Empress Josephine
walked deservedly conscious of her
noble blood; Folly verified the words
of La Rochefoucauld: "There are
follies as catching as contagious disorders,"
or as Shakespeare lays:
"Follyri?r Wisdom hatch'd, hath Wisdom's
warrant;" Mercury winged
the messages of the gods; the
Maid of Honor at the Venetian Court
served cliacncingly in that role and her
ii-- -J J . il..
grace was universally aauurcu; uic
Maid of Sa'ragossa recalled th? thrilling-'
tragedy, c# the finking of her lorer
and she.-brarelr "filling hit fatal post;"
lone was superbly grandiloquent;
Butter-cup dispensed taffy in spite of
the admonition of her cousins and aunts.
"Old Fashion Girl" brought a brooding
of. memories long ago; the D?ll
Baby made the children glad; th?
Blue Birds bluenesi embellished the
picture; and Martha AVasbingtonmade
hftr sdmlren brood with miser lore
over tlie birth of the Republic.
'Ihuswas the Fancy Bail in full
progress, and after the German, beginning
at 2 o'clock, gracefully led by
Mr. J. 11. Tillman, the danccrs, at 4
o'.clock in the morning, weut home for
rest at heart, and with pleasant memories
of the end of the old and the beginning
of the ne x year.
Thus was closed the most brilliant
ball ever given in Winnsboro.

GOLDEN WEDDING.
The many friends of Rev. and Mrs.
Willard Richardson will read with
pleasure the following- account of
their golden wedding at their home in
Houston, Delaware. The account
clipped from the local paper and has
been handed us by a friend.
Rer. Mr. Richardson was for many
year? a resident of "VVinnsboro. In
n-r l -1-r< 1..'
10/o lie was execicu v^?uai,jr otuw 1 i
Commissioner and tlioug-li elected 011
the Republican ticket recognized the
election of Hampton and his commission
was the first signed by Gov.
Hampton after his inauguration. It
was owing to the untiring and pursistant
efforts of School Commissioner
Richardson that "order was produced
out of confusion" in school matters
and the school finance? put upon a
sound basis. Mr. Richardson was tt>e
originator of the Graded School idea
in Winnsboro and assisted materially
in organizing Mt. Zion the first
Graded School in the State outside of
Ckarleston which afterwards became the
jiatern of those organized afterwards.
Though late Tiie News axd Herald
joins the many friend? of Rer. and
Mrs. Richardson in wishing them inanv
rean of happiness.
'Rev. and Mrs. Richardson celebrated
their golden wedding, at their
home in Houston, on Tuesday May 27.
Mr. Richardson has lived a ionsr ami
useful life. He was for rnanv years a
teacher. Through the war <>! the iebellion
he was a chaplain in the 89
X. Y. S. V. and for eighteen \ejis nj
teacLer in the common and hish
BchoaU at Winnsburo, 5v.?urh Caralina.
He has now retii ?-?r to !:i< home in
Houston to finish his da)- "'respected
by all and loved by thoae who know
him well."
At about 4 p. w. tiie Wcdiiiu^ March
was played by Mi . Pi'-1'c ^i>:I the I
bride and groom t?u;?r?d i jit p.-ii-Ui , i
taking their places near the U.ir window.
Mr. Bunstein, the pa#tor read
aloud a mo?t affectionate and delightful
letter from 'he Rev. D. Torrv, the
minister who, fifty years as:o, married
Mr. and Mis., Uidbardson at 1 [onesdale
Pa. He also read a poem that
had been written for the occasion by a
former pupil of Mr. Richaid.sonr?.
Mr. Bunstein then made a few appopriate
remaiks, in which he congratulated
them on ttu;ir long ami happy
life. lie said, they had proved that'
marriage is not a failure but a holy
thing, and that, if their life had not
been just "what they had expected, -he
wa? sure they would say it hid been
better than if they had planned it.
After the benediction the assembled
* ^ -r ?* :~i
menu#, ui wtiiuu mcic rcic UWVUL
forty, heartily congratulated Mr. and
Mrs. Richardson, many kissing; the
bride and a few kissing the groom.
After spending an hour in social intercourse
and admiring Mrs. Richardson's
flowers^ the company adjourned
to partake of an elegant supper in the
commodious house of Mr?. Pierce who
lives next door to her father. After
listening to ?ome piano aud violin
music the guests departed.
Mr. and Mr#. Richardson seem to be
living an ideal old age; with no traces
of care or worry on their faces, with
faculties unimpaired, they are passing

the coming of a new and perfect day!
Why It Is Popular.
Because it lias proven its absolute
merit over ahd over again, because it
has an unequalled record of cures,
because its business is conducted in a
thoroughly honest manner, and because
it combines economy and strength
being the only medicine of -which "100
Doses Oae Dollar' is true?these
strong points have made Hood's Sar aparilla
the most ?uccessful medicine
of the day. *
Be Sure
If you have mad? up your mind to buy
Hood's Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take
any other. Hood's Sarsaparilla is a peculiar ,
medicine, possessing, by virtue of Its peculiar
combination, proportion, and preparation,
curative power superior to any other article.
A Boston lady who knew what she wanted,
and whose example is worthy imitation, tells
her experience below:
- To Get
" In one store where I went to buy Hood's i
Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy |
their own instead of Hood's: he told me their's |
would last longer; that I might"take it on ten ,
days' trial; that il I did not like ItXneed not
pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail
on me to change. I told him I knewwfcafc- J.
Hood's Sarsaparilla wa3. I had taken it, was
atlsfied with It, and did not want any other.
