There has been twi epidemics sweeping over the count rj the past fall and winter?grip and m itrimony?from both of which oui town has been singularly free; anij while we regard our escape from the former a blessing, the young ladies sei their heads togeiiier and lock council wiih each other to bring about at leasi a mild attack of the latter, thinking il just as well to be out of tae world ai out of the fashion. Seeing that the armies that have been most fcuccessful in modern warfare are those who con centrate their numbers, while defeaf almost invariably attends tho^ who scatter their forces they resolved for once to unite themselves for a general engagement believing that private entjayevieiits would necessarily follow. The campaign opened Friday evening and everything was carried by storm,, everv obstacle was met onlr to be overcame and success has already been painted on their banners. At the appointed hour they appeared at the sallyport and as tlie men came out they were hastily captured?each one having in advance selected her victim?they commanded, "Give up your arms!"

Never has the bail room been filled with more beautiful women or handsome gentlemen, and the costumes worn by the gentlemen would have indeed deligbteit the eyes of Worth himself. The display of diamonds was quite remarkable and the eyes of many a beholder will be dimmed some time from admiring their brilliancy. Amid this throng it was of course impossible to do justice to all in trying to describe the many rich and elegent toilets worn br the gentlemen, but we will notice a few ae they fell under our enchanted and bewildered eye. The tall and elegant figure of Mr. D. G. Dwight was attired in a rich suit of black broadcloth with doeskin trousers cut dancing length, a beautiful dancer. Capt.T. W. Lauderdale, who won his military title in the revolutionary war. but who still looks to be on the sunny side of forty, evidently enjoyed the dancing as much as any one 111 the room, was rebedin a suit of of plain black with shces to match, ornaments diamonds. Mr. Oueal, of Rock Ilill, was sirn ply stunning, and his costume showed great taste and deep study; it suited exactly his figure and style and he received several compliments from admirers. Mr. Harrison, another popular belle from Rock Hill, had the prettiest complexion in the room; this with a pair of handsome eyes did great execution with the hearts of the opposite sex and many sighs were beard when he took his departure. Willie Egleston, one of the loveliest dancers in the room, was becoming!? - - - - * t j J ^ arrayed ju a sun ei nanusume uai*. material and the faintest suspicion of a brown mustache, which in time will no doubt add much to his already handsome appearance. J. W. Ilanahau was arrayed in a close fitting Prince Albert coat with trousers cut dancing length, with spotless linen collar and cuffs. Mr. Thos. Davis was clothed in an elegant four-button cutaway coatand a pair of side whiskirs especially imported for the occasion; ornaments a white tie ot purest linen. Mr. Chas. Stevenson never looked better. He wore an elegant costume - - - " X - of black broauc:oui wnu laumgs ui serge; hair arranged a la pompadoar. A pretty little demi-blonde is Mr. Murray Robinson, always popular with the fair sex was nerer allowed to rest for a moment so eagerly was he sought out for the dance. lie was one of the most popular belles of the evening. Dr. Dwight, of Wedgefield, was suitably clothed in a pair "of well fitting trousers, with Prince Albert coat; ornaments a beautiful finger ring. Dr. R. B.

Mr. Cunningham, a greai favorite, _ whose dancing was much admired, a beautiful dancing suit of imported material, ornaments, diamonds. Mr. M. "W'. Doty, a handsome brunette, was elegantly attired in plain black broadcloth, relieved at the neck and wrists by drapings of snowy linen. Mr. Albert Douglass, never lacked partners fer tke dance, looked his lovlieit in doeskin trousers of exquisite broadcloth cut bias, ornaments a large red silk handkerchier ana tan to match. Mr. "Wm. White, a charming debutante and lovely dancer; his blushes were pronounced by all becoming; he wore a beautiful tie and patent leather slippers, the floor was very slippery and he "got there" in great shape.

Snecial: The corn crib of Eph i- Williams, an industrious colored man e who lives nerr here, and in which h< v also kept his bacon, was broken intc s one night last week and some con t and his entire siock of bacon, con sisting of the meat of three hogs, wai e stolen and carried off. Suspiciei h rests strongly upon two parties, on< of whom is an ex canvict and i (3 veteran thief, he having a few year Y a^o served out a two years' sentenc< in the penitentiary fer a similai offence. This party has virtuain confessed to having had a hand in i h and offers to restore his share Oi th< h spoils and a cow to boot if they an y not prosecuted. This restoration wai | to have taken place yesterday morning Q but neither the thief nor the bacon hai r vet turned up. Warrants will b< s sworn out against the parties. ,? Over one hundred bales of cettoi were sold at this place on last Tuesday to Thompson, a cotton buyer fron D Chester, at from six to six and a hal cents. A lot of thirty or forty bale: belonging; to Mr. C. S. Brice, Sr. S brought the latter price round, whicl * was then considered the top of tlx market and a fair price not wit hst:indin< r. the fact that it was far below the cos of production. There is still som< cotton to be put upon this market '8 possibly as many as fifty bales, th' cr parties holding tor a rise in the market * This we think is highly improbable a the present indications rather poin LI to a 1'u it her decline in price. One o ie these parties lost heavily last year b: 5 holding, but he still thinks that th price wiil "jump up a little." The farmers are busy preparing fo ~~ another crop, and when the land am y weather permits which, by the way ^ has been quite infrequent during th past menth, the plowman's voice i heard'on every hand, but with a fa less ring of joy and glee as formerly ? there being very little in toiling !t sweating and turning the sod for fiv m cents cetton to inspire and call fort swngsofjoy even from coffy's happ 0 soul. tu There will be some reduction in th ? <^Afton Rrrpfl?rp around here this vea m vw?v.. v~0 w though to what extent I am not prt pared to say. More corn will b 18 planted, and comparatively little o "C no guano used. This seems a littl ie like reform in our farming methods s :e least. ^ Mr. ADdrew Blaiu died last' nigt :e of pneumonia.
