Sale Day.
Ordinarily Sale Day in January is an important
day in business circles at Abbeville, but
last Monday was an exception to the rule.
The attendance was not large and there seemed
to be but little money in circulation, although
some of our merchants made reasonably
{;ood collections. There were various circumstances
to bring about the dull day. lu
the first place, there is in the country an unusual
scarcity of money at this season, ami in ;
the next place many citizens were deterred
from coming to town in consequence of the
very heavy rain which had fallen the night!
before, and which had raised the streams so i
much that they were impassable in places.
There was but little land exposed to sale,'
and the prices realized were not high. The j
amount 01 horse flesh which were offered by
iue auctioneers was :siimu, mm ui? jnn-t-s ou- j
tained were small indeed. At present there:
seems to be almost no demand for plow ani- j
ma Is, though every one who speaks on the i
subject savs that the demand will be good
next .March.
A True Dopr Story.
Mr. Wra. Wilson of this vicinity was the
owner of a valuable dog until recently, lie
desired to move it from one part of the county |
to another, and being unwilling; to trUst it on j
the cars, or in the care of anybody else, ?n-1
dertook to nlove it hiinseif. He started in a1
lm^gy carrying the dog with him. liofore he I
had gone a great way, he broke the buggy in J
which he was riding. Securing another bug- I
gy, he went on his way fearing no wii. "While j
going down the public highway beside the
railroad track the ears came along and scared t
his horse, which ran oil', throwing Mr. Wilson j
but of the buggy. The horse continued to run
until the buggy was broken to pieces. In the
inclee the dog was lost and has not been seen
or heard of smce the cars passed that particular
locality.

The Clerk's Office.
Major Zeigler is not only a good officer, but;
Is also a public spirited citizen. He is now
having his office thoroughly renovated,and is
putting new tin boxes in the pigeon holes, j
wiiicn will keep every paper free from dust
and will keep them more securely than formerly
in the open boxes behind the glass j
shutter. I5y a system of classification and la- j
he's, parties having occasion to examine olli- j
cial papers can do so at very little trouble.;
The work is not yet finished, but when it is!
done, Ihe otiiee of the Clerk of the Court will
be a model for convenience of system, for exactness
of method, and for symmetrical ?rlaugcment.
The arrangement and improvement
in the work of that office will meet tile
favorable consideration of the public.
yir. Hon. Chiles.
Mr. lien. Chile*, of Troy, is now traveling
1'n the interests of that famous roller flour
mill in Augusta, which is owned by Mr. J. M.
Berry. M \ lierry is now spending ten thousand
dollars in the latest and host machinery i
lor making wheat flour, and also preparing to j
grind corn by rollers wider a similar process
to that whicn has been in use for grinding
wheat. Mr. Chiles is a good business man
und wj tee! sure th it he can make it to the
interest of our people lo give him their or-;
Uers for flour, corn and bacon. The house j
which he represents is thoroughly reliable
und is satisfied with small protits.

O it KENWOOD, S. C., Jan. 4, 1886.
AVith many misgivings do I assume the duties
of local correspondent for your valuable
paper. While I dare not. hope to wield u pen
as versatile as that of my predecessor "S," or
cope with "Quirt Nunc," a former contributor
of our village, In flashesof wit ana humor, yeii
I shall endeavor to given faithful account of
events transpiring in our midst, which may be
of some interest to many of your readers.
Should I in the discharge of those duties say
anything that tuny wound the feelings of any,
I would beg them to consider it as unintentional,
and ask the exercise of that charity
which "sulTereth long" and "thinketli no
evil."
The festivities of the holidays are over, and
our town moves on in the even tenor of its
way,?the Utile folks wondering when Santa
Clans will come again, and the older heads
discharging the stern duties of life:
The Cantata given under the superintendence
of Mrs. \V. T. Mathews last week was
quite a success, the proceeds which are lor the
benefitof the Presbyterian parsonage amounting
to about $<V?. While all engaged in it acted
their parts well, we would mention the admirable
manner in which Miss Annie Reynolds
acquitted herself in the representation of the
season?Spring. It has brtfn suggested by competent
Judges of such entertainments that it
be repeated at an early day.
The 15a; 1 given last Thursday night in Durst
Hall under the auspices of the "(ireenwood
Terpsichorean Soc.al Club" surpassed anything
of the kind ever given in tit is village.
The hall was beautifully decorated, and long
before the hour for the entertainment to begin,
the beauty and chivalry of not only our
town, but that ol Cokcsbury, Abbeville, Ninety
Six, Vordery, Bradley, Troy, Calhoun's
Mill, Clark's Hill, Waterloo, Bamberg. Columbia,
Augusta and Elberton, On., and Virginia,
were represented, i ne music was lurm.-iicu
by the Fish burn Band ol' Augusta.
We regret to stater that Capt. L. IT. Rykard,
whose illness was mentioned last week, is no
better.
Hev. R. I). Smart, the new Presiding Elder
of this circuit, has moved into our midst
where he will reside for the present. We welcome

Kev. Dr. Millard says the singing by the
Presbyterian choir is the best he bus heard

One night last week Anderson Logan and
Charley strong stole a cow from Mr. Gus
Moore ami sold it to the colored butcher at
Ninety-Six. Mr. Moore succeeded in recovering
liis cow, had the negroes arrested, and
IYiul Justice L. M. Moore committed them toj
jail. Special constables J. R. Buchanan and
U. II. Hughes had them in jail, but when
within two miles of this place the prisoners

TURKEY'S NAVAX STRENGTH.
l^e military contributor of tht
Cologne Gazette observes, in an artivr||
cle on the navies of the Mediterranean,
that by far the strongest naYtfHSj
power on that sea is Turkey. All tho
Ironclads of her fleet are of fecent
etruction, and most of_. them hav?
come from the best Engfisn snip4 jm
builders; the German Ironclad Konfy gm
JVUhelm was originally, built for
Turkish Government. The plates ot.^|J
the Turkish ironclads are from 51-2 to;?||
8 inches thick (two of the casematd .^
ships have 9-inch plates), and they ar$^Ja
armed with 8-inch and 9-inch Woolwich
" muzle-loaders, and Rrupp"J|
breech-loaders. Turkey has four-v'^
Ironclad frigates of 3,050 horse .v
power and 64 guns, six casemate shipf ^
each of 700 horse power and 5 guns,
and three turret-ships of 1,200 hors6^||9
power and 11 guns, making in all flf '~$m
teen ironclads with 9,250 horse pcffret ^
and 116 guns. To these should W . rj
added three Ironclad gunboats 01240 ^
horse power and six guns on the ''$M
Danube, and two ironclad gunboata; :^
on the Lake of Scutari, each with 60 - ^
horse pp-wyer and two guns. The screw
6hips are jilso for the most part well :-M
built and equipped. They consist ot- fm
four ships of the line, thirteen frigat&d^^
and corvettes, twenty-two avisos, and |||
hventy-seven gunboats and coasting
vessels, besides 101 transport ships, M
all large and mostly well armed. The
nptii.nl atrnrtrrth nf tVm nvn.iln.hlA flAPt. ' V-i
of Russia on the Black Sea cannot at
present Joe accurately estimated, but l^
the writer thinks there can be no |
doubt that it is far inferior to that
the Turkish fleet. Austria has fout^|j
ironclad casemate ships of 3,600 horsdjjjl
power and CO guns, and seven
clad frigates of 4;0u0 horse power and
980 guns. Three Of these ships, however,
are now being rebuilt, and most ^1|
of the others do not fulfill the require- ments
of modern naval warfare, either"*^
us regards the thickness of their platea^gj
or the calibre of their guns. This
mark applies even more to the Italian .: >
ironclad ships, several of ? which are to '|aj
be sold by auction this month, in or- 5
der to obtain funds for constructing;^
new ones more suitable to modorn requirements.

NOVEL TREATMENT FOR WOUNDS,

the application of a hop poultice to the

of the treatment, and I well know it ;|

the wound is doing well. I applied
the smoke once every day, and by the . v

proved to be very effectual.. The gut- v<;>;

forty miles in length, near Amsterdam,
on the above plan, has proved an entire
success, and although laid in bad,
swampy soil, no breaks have oo* ;

Bkick-Makixg Apparatus.?An ingenious
kind of brick-making apparatus
is stated to be in operation in Stafford,
Eng., which conveniently compresses
some 1,500 bricks per hour,
but which is capable of producing, if
required, a much greater quantity.
On a revolving horizontal table are
tixed six dies for compressing the
clay. On one side of the table stands
an operator who fills cach die with
clay, and an operator on the other
side removes the clay after it has
been compressed. Ladi die is fitted j
with a hinged lid and a sliding bottom,
V? U r .;A"
and as Hie table revolves, the dio
passes under a lixed plate which com-<
presses the clay to the required de-~
gree. The clay, in this condition, is'
delivered in a column down an incliiia
from the pug-mill, and is cut into
blocks of the desired size by a very a
simple apparatus worked by the op??~ j
rator who liils the dbs/
