We ask attention to some Interesting articles to this Isnue of ttie /'/vjj ami Hinner. The statement of Tacts as to the condition of General Grant, the greatest of all the Northern cenexais and the most tnnunanimous military chieftain in modern times, will be noted hi- awarr nno fliwl t liorpclfjil of thft Kflll fctorV of the deplorable condition of F. J. Moses "one of South Carolina's governors In Radical times, furnishes a remarkable Instance of the mutations of fortune. Once powerful, hut now an abjcct convict, with none to do him honor, and with none to sympathise with ln-ni when feeble and helpless. The frauds upon our farmers In the fertilizers which tney buy may open the eyes of some of our farmers, and Impress upon them the hecessity of preparing and making their own fertilizers ' ?lurlug the winter inonltis. Besides the ar^ ticleH on fertilizers manv useful hints as to i stock, bees, horticulture, and furtn work will 1 >?e of value to thos? of our friends who seek 1 to become independent In the pursuit of the nobles^ of all the professions. In. addition to these matters tin our.; locAl. r&ee will be found Interesting ar- , tays of local and personal dots from Ninety- | Six, Greenwood. Coranaca, Due West and < fither places. A correspondent discusses j railroad mailers with energy and vigor. The tctnperance people will relish the nrilcle , taken from a Georgia contembrtrary. wlnth explains how liquor licensc builds up a town. That article Is followed by some statements , and reflections on tins fact that prohibition di?es prohibit. Devout and Kentiinental readers will Ann sbnie choice Jvtotry, while everybo<l.v may find home ' constructed editorials anil locals, of which I >ve speak as to quantity, and not as to quail- ' . 1 Drnln your Lsnil. t Our readers will find an Interesting order 1 from the County Commissioners In reference I' to the removal of the trash, trees rafts and | timlier frt>:n the streams on their land. A# ' M-e have had no ratnS lately. the wnter nmst j ' be very low, and the lust month has been sO j warm that we know that the temperature i>f the water must he delightful nud ihat none of our renders will mind leaning out their streams during the present month. With the water nt a temperature Iust above the freezing point, and with the ream Just small enough to be confined within It* hsinks. we are sure that nobody will, at the command of the County Commissioners, hesitate to wade right In up to the armpits after a log or chunk, or possibly an old stump Jhat may be giving the rushl rig stream a curvc. Our people during this delightful operation! may contemplate the wisdom of the Legishj-) tor who conceived the idea of sending lils! constltucnt? Into a swollen stream after a l<?g i during a winter month. In times that are] past we have seen boys throwing stickR Into streams during the summer, that smart dogs I might bring them ushore. ati.d It may be the talesman thus conceived tne idea of compel ling the farmer to swim into the swollen Kream In cold weather in order that, he might witness the fun of seeing a neighbor ttig at nn old stump which had floated down nn an leel>erg and lodged In the stream on his place. The wisdom of the Legislator who would em Vict a law requiring a man to plunge Into a Swollen stream during a winter month for ilo more important work than that of rescuing a i float! ug chunk, would entitle him to a closer | blood relationship to Solomon than that Of! first cousin. ?. Rheumatics, walk down to the stream, r Made in. and got that chunk out or ttie wuier. r ?. ( III* I.leen*c Didn't Bend that Way.'1 \ LastS?le Itay we had on our public squnro two itinerant sulesmen who sold their goods 1 at auction from their vedlcles. The strength f ? ! their ,lungs and the ellhn?8s of their > tongue* paled Mr. l,eroy Wilson's effort to get $ lip hii old fashioned fate of laud in theregu* )?r orthodox way. seeing thai the salesmen f had taken possession of the square in front of , lie Court House and that the people were c giving them almost their entire utt^ntion. nil officer was finally Kent to them requesting them to occupy another part of the square : further from the Court House door. This re- ' tjktcKt was granted, and they moved to I he ' upper corner of the square, and It seemed that the move only ha-i the effect of iucreiin- t ing the crowd that surrounded thcin, and Mr. t AVI lion ww becoming exceedingly lonely In t front of the Conrt House door, as he pathetically announced that he was going to sell t vuluahle land*, but the crowd ellher had no ? money to invest In such unprofliabe Becuri- t ties, or were more Interested In buying a box pf medicine or a dozen silk pocket handkerchiefs for a dollar. Mr. Wilson, despairing of J obtaining attention, appointed the town mar- 1 Khal as minister plenipotentiary extraordi- c pary to negotiate a cessation of the unusual exercises. After giving tlie diplomat a re- r apectful hearing, tho sp<?kesman of the sales- t men merely remarked that hi* "license didn't a jread that way," and proceeded at once to the celling of his wares. They met With such j nucces* that they are going to give our people [ another chance to invest. ? The Conntjr CommlMiAncn. , The County Commissioners will see the provisions of the drainage law compiled With, bo far ok the act requires it of litem. The following wh- le*ome resolution was proposed at the meeting of Board on Monday und ordered U> lie over for consideration at the next meeting: Raolvtd: That hereafter whenever prnctlotat>le, contract* awarded by any member Kf Hoard shall contain a clause providing that the contractor or eontkictors In each Instance Khali forfeit from the amonnt of the Contract a sum not exceeding Si'JO per day for everyday the work contracted for remains nnflnlshcd after the d?ty set for its completion, unlesssufficient excuse be shown to the con-< trary, . The application for the admission of Alex.

Two of thesd rire white Rmt'iles. The Commissioners h&vfe t?ken tlje steps accessary to their removal as requlr&l by law.

Mr. David Keller,of this village,accidentally discharged hi* pistol one day last weefc while It was In his nip pocket. The ball ran. down the fleshy part of the leg until It reached a good position opposite the knee where it j concluded to settle down. Pr. Hill whs called, I who examined Hie wound and extracted tho !( ball, which was only a little way under the 1 fckln. Mr. Keller Is considerably hurt, hut the j wound Is In no way dangerous Mr. Keller'* i accident Is only one more proof of the advantage of* currying pistol*. The health of the town I* unusually good, and the lK>ctot-s seem i to be doing but little. The ball will not hurt j Sir. Keller much, and he Is contribut ing toj the prosperity of the town by givinjr the Doc-i tor* a Job. Sir. Keller 1* one of our nicest I young men ard wc wish hlin >i speedy recov-! cry. While congratulating him on the factl that he did not hurl himself worse than lie' did, we really thought that all such good >nen \ as he l? had quit the busluesa of carrying pis? tola.

Tho Little Workers Is the naroe of a society recently organized at Greenwood, Mouth Carolina, by Rev. H. C. Smart. This society 1m composed of young folk* from four to eighteen year* of age. This Includes that class of Sunday School scholars which has heretofore, to a very great extent, remained comparatively Idle In the great work of home and foreign | missions. The object of organizing this socle-1 ty Is to give the children something to do. Till* will make them love and understand One another better. There Is plenty of good work every where for the children to do and! let theru do lu It will teach them to better Appreciate the great duties and responsibilities of life. We believe the organizing of the Little Workers Society will eventually result I In the accomplishment of much good. We Wish them God-speed lu their noble work. Lint of Teachers.

Our readers remember the fate of the Misses Cater's hogs which were named Cleveland and Hendrirks respectively. We are afraid that-"Cleveland" Is too big a name lor one lonely Jersey calf.

Prohibition Prohibit*. r (Christian Artioeatc.) Mr. Editor?S\ncc prohibition nnd tcmpcrnce have conic to be subjects for the Church apers and the pulpit, I desire to state u few ?cts, which. I have labored. Hard to gather up. Over one year ago I becainc interested in -- ' ii - il ilTl.vn,, no answer u> me question: u\jch iii?hui-i Ion Prohibit?'' I feared whene I hard the lory of so many Jugs going Into prohibition cctions, and I lie statement that prohibition ncrensed the drinking; l.jhought if (ills was rUc, we had bc'tter change our policy, and i'*rk for a law requiring every merchant to i5.ll It. and the preacher and teinpernncc lecurer to become agents for It. Hut the answer i> the question will show that wc ure pursung the right policy. SVe ha\e at this writing, ninety-four prohlIt ion comities In Georgia, lint In some of hose counties there are little town's that are lot prohibition, and in some counties that re not prohibition thcte iire prohibition owns. So that we can average at least niney prohibition counties. Now, by constant iborj I tlnd that those coilntl<*s before proliiitlon.hiul an average of ohe huudreil inen k'ho would use and liavo used by others, an vcrage of one hair gallon of intoxicating plrits per day. the year round. J5ut the footng up of tills Is so slratllng, (but true, howvcr,i I put It down to twenty-four instead of ne liuiidredi giving us twelve men In ninety ounties making Use bf one gulion per day lie year round. Now this docs not mean hat one man drunk that much, but drank nd gave away, on all occasions, electioneertig schemes, etc., to this amount. This gives is 4,3*0 gallons In one of the ninety counties, lultlplled by IN), gives us IIW.'JOO gallons; aluwiugfiOgallons to the barr-jl, makes 7,8S4 arrets.the amount used before prohibition, nd not used now.

Thus the question is nswered beyond the shadow of a doul/t. low, Kir, with this showing before lis, shall re go on ? Let every good man and woman ti Georgia answer. This brings us to the consideration ofanifier question.
