The water foamed and dashed and the wave3 could he seen rolling in. The last picture exhibited was an umbrella dance, in which the umbrella and the dresses of the two little dancers . . changed wiih every movement of the figures. This was one of the very prettiest, the colors were so 7ivid and beautiful. -The s'ory of the lour young men from Ridgeway, which appeared in our last issue has a sequel.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT To Burglarize the Store of the Ketchin Mercantile Company On Monday night a second attempt to burglarize the store of the Ketchin Mercantile Company was made, but the burglars were unsuccessful in tbeir efforts to enter. They broke a laige | plate glass in one of the front windows, bnt most have been frightened by something before they could enter for as soon as the broken window was ! discovered bv Chier Gilbert he made j an examination and found that the j thieves had not entered the store. A blood-hound was secured and wa^ put on the trail of the thieves. The dog followed tbe trail as far as Mr. James Cathcart's, where the tracks of the two meu separated and went in different directious. This seemed to con fuse thejdog and the search was give:) I up. A GOOD SUGGESTION*. We have received a cole from a little girl "what stays" at Rockton. She says: "Mr. Editor: You have given the preachers some good books and the j young ladies, the sweet sixieens, a nice watch, and we, 5he little ones in and around Rocktoc, think it about time to ; offer something for ihe children. We ' ? .. I don't think it fair to treat us iD tnis way, and hope yon wi I put up a prize for us, a bicycle, or a doll, or something eise nice, n:id wc anxiously await tbe offer." "We think that this is a good suggestion and a very fair one It is about time the little ones were having a chance. In a few days we shall offer them a prize. We would like to have some further suggestions from them as what the prize should be, and how it is to be offered.

On Friday night at about ten o:c!ock fire was di-covered in W. R. Doty & Co-'s corn h>nse, which was very near Mr. R. Y. Turner's stable, and just back of of his store. When the fire was first seen it had made such progress that to save the buildings already 'on fire was an impossibility and the fire companies turned their attention to saving tha adjicent buildiDgs. For qnitc a while it seemed as though a small blacksmith shop which was io front of the burning stable and Doty Co.'s large feed and sale stable in ti e rear c >u!d not be saved, but the fivmen worked with all their might and energv, keepii g a constant stream of water p'a\ing on the buildings that were endangered, and tearing down fencing ?o as to prevent the fire from spreading. Fortunately, there wa* no wind blowing or the houses across the street Trvaht havf MncrVif T\r>:a.-h rorv Inner I ?o-- ?'V.; j the corn house a;ni stable were en: tirely consumed.

The place wbero tlie stable ?lood seems to be fated, this being th> third build j that has been burnt on that spot. It is supposed the fire w-..s the work of an incendiary.

It ia desirable to get tip several mere camps so as to form a regiment within Fairfield County, ai.d as far as practicable cultivate a spirit of brotherly love and perpetuate the memory of our comrades as they drop out of our sight one by one. My comrades, our rauks are fast thinning' out; won't you join this fraternal movement? We could very easily hare four or five camps, whereas there are only two i;i oar county. Camp Kaines meets in Winnsboro on the first Monday in Jnne next to make final arrangements for sending delegates to the grand reunion in Nashville, Tenn., next month.

"Where arc the Profits??Hard Times at Ridgeway. Mr. Editor: An ordinance, to lake effect Jane 1st, was passed by the council on Friday to raise money to defray the expenses of the town ::or the ensuing year. Before the d^ys of 4 K n frAm fliO &"I!A ui&jjcusai iT5-? xutvijuv Aivm iiiv v j of liqnos?, along with the taxes p-.id, gave the town a sufficient amount of j money 10 employ two policemen, h<-.ve the town well liifh'ed aud the streets kept in good condition. Now it is quite a contrast. The 6600 paid by the bar-rooms have been taken away and nearly half the lamps are not u-i;d and one man is expected to do police duty for the entire place and is kept on duty una! 12 o'clock at night. The treasury is often erpty and money is borrowed to pay expenses, blioaid I tbis be? If 'he proprietors of the bars I could pay $603 revenue to the town, should not half the profits of the sale of liquors at the dispensary be an eqnal amount? On December 1, 1S9G, $51.90 was paid to the town for its share for the quarter and since that date not one cent has been paid to the town. The law, I believe, says that a settlement mu^t be made every three ~Kiif oJ nst- ci-v mnnfhi; hflVP UiVlllli? ? yui C*1 vvu ?~ ?? - passed and 110 settlement.

I f'Ttt r npvvs' n ivrT KETHEL CHURCH. 1 Mr. Editor: Pioase allow me space in the columns of your paper to express a few scattering thoughts that may be brought out by me as the result of attending the annual childrens' day services at Bethel Church. You I KnT-r. -tin n-pfon VlOOVll if Rfllfl t.hat ! UUVL uv-/ uwuuk V/J.VV11 UVM4 vi. AV w.v, ?? ' 'people eat to live," but I Uiink it very probable, that had you been on the grounds, or where I was, in the centre < f that great big old square table :hat the f^ood ladies of the surrounding neighborhood bad so heavily hdened with baker's bread and hash, besides all the other eatables that were scattered, ami thrown promiscuously from the hands of several of the good j ladies and kind-hearted gentlemen who composed the committee?that you (with myself) would have reached another conclusion, "that they live to eat.'- Jbut ict mat oe as u may, i can assure yon that the feeding part certainly went on. I make mention of this first, as I consider that it played a very important part of the programme. We reached tbe church about 11 30 o'clock a. m. and, not to our surprise, found the church pretty well crowded; but we were fortunate enough to <:et very comfortable seats, where we could hear and see. Tbe programme, v-Jiich wa? cariiid out in full, was vcr- entertaining as well ts instructive; the recitations we.io all f-uitable to the occasion, and the singing, which was led by Mr. D. G. Ruff, the superintendent of the Sunday School, and Mrs. F. Iv. Mann, the organist, who was followed by the school was well worth listening to. Tbe pro gramme was iiui very auu u was soon gotten through with. All were then formerly dismissed by the preacher in chargc, the Rev. Mr. Miller. The most of the crowd then left the church and (oi course) moved slowly towards the table. Everything was still and quiet as if listening for the welcome call: "Everybody- came to dinner"! which soon greeted our T- - ? IT Hf- TT ears, ane can was given uy iui . u jj. Cauthen about 1 o'clock, aDd everybody responded by taking their place3 (or somebody else's) at the table, which I told you was so boantifully spread. Dinner was over, all were filled and nobody hurt (hat I heard of. Then everybody made a rush for the wt-11, all got a drink, then scattered about in buggies, wagons, and all seemed to be enjojiug themselves. All of the other churches on the circuit were we!! represented, and we expect to show our appreciation of 1 their prcsonce with us bv returning the visit to their childrens' day service ( a't llonticello, Shiloh and Cedar Creek. ; so look our, we are coming. The crowd began to disperse aboat 4 o'clock, and by C, were all gone. Everybody left with a pleasing countenance as much as to say, "It is good < to have been here;" and I believe had they been asked the question, thatthey would have given that answer without the slightest prevarication. I would like to say more about the children's days, (for the old folk3 to <<o to), but as there are more to follow at the other churches I will leave snmA nnso5d. frsr wf>. arft pertain that some of us will have the pleasure and opportunity of telling the readers of Tiie News and Herald how the children's clay picnic at Winnsboro was enjoyed by us, from the fact that they arc to have it at night.

Now that bicycles arc laxed, and bicyclists form such a considerable factor in tbe population of cities, the wheelmen are organizing to secure their rights. They do not propose to pa\ taxes on wheels and not have streets 011 which they can ride them, and where the character of the street is not suitable for bicycles, and it is not practicable to make the whole street available, bicyclists are demanding that the city government shall prepare a bic>c'e path on one tide of the street, near to the drain along which wheelmen may go comfortably. The whee.men in New Haven are alive to their rights, a<.<i a^e setting an example that will be watched ana followed by wheelmen everywhere. The New Haven Register say: "The street committee of the New Haven Bicycle Union met the other night. There was represented every ward in the city. It was vited to have a representative in each ward that he should have from fonr to twelve deputies to assist Mm. It was also decided to request complete reports as to the condition of the streets in each ward. The executive comtaittee made a request on the street com- i mittee that an effort be made to have provided strips along unpaved streets of (he city, on which wheelmen could travel more easily. It was suggested that these strips be laid alongside gutters and that the surface be made of cither brick or asphalt. It is the Ari5n?A*? fVlA fhof f Ku ??? v;[/unv;u ux wg wviuuvio IMUW ^UW I?M provement with proper effort could be procnred and a sub-committee was appointed to look into the matter and report recommendations." This is not an unreasonable demand. The wheelmen are citizens who pay taxes and who use wheels not simply as a matter of pleasure, but in the pursuit of their daily avocations in going from plaee to place, in calling upou customers, in collecting bills, or drumming trade. They are entitled to streets upon which the? can travel, and the indications are that they mean to have tbem. The bicycle has done more to influence good roads and good streets than any other siDgle factor.? Aqnsta Chronicle. a????o?a??a? THE Editor:?I have an absolute remedy for Consumption.
