Tbe County Commissioners were in session Monday attending to various matters of public interest and \_ __ winding op the affairs of their office preparatory to turning over the office to their successors on next Thursday, the 3 th inst. The members of the retiring board have performed their onerous duties faithfully and conscientiously, and while they have not, perhaps, come up to the demands of an exacting public in every instance, they have done as well as could be reasonably demanded of them, and will retire from office to the shades of private life carrying with them the well done of their many friends and will leave the county in excellent financial condition.

The persons interested in the formation of a new bank in this place met in the offioe of Alfred J. Fox, where the books of subscription to the capital stock were opened. After which the name of "The Home Bank", was authorized and an organization was effected by the election of the following Board of Directors: F. W. Oswald, A. J. Fox, George ! Bell Timmerman, H. L. Oswald, J. E. Kaufmann. At a subsequent meeting of the Board, the following officers were elected: F. W. Oswald, T"' 1 ? 1 ^ Unit Timmo?man cresiaem; vjeurge uuu jLiuuj?uuut , Vice-President and Counselor; A. J Fox, Casbier. It is reported that the bank will be opened for business about the 1st of February. The Board of Directors is composed of some of our most solidf young business men possessing large and wide experience, while the President has made a brilliant financial success of all his business affairs and it goes without saying that with such a strong combination of capital and experience the new bank will be a success from the beginning. The bank has purchased the store now occupied by M. R. Hartley & Co, in the Kaufmann building and will fit it up with modern furniture, vaults, etc. A Deplorable Tragedy Occurred near the home of Mr. Wesley Spires, who liveB near tne mill site on Mr. Albert Taylor's plantation in Congaree township, on last Friday morning between 12 and 1 o'clock, in which Charles Hutto, a young man about 24 year9 of age, lost his life at the hands of Mr. Wesley Spires. The particulars of the tragedy are very meagre and some of the details are unfit for pub lieation. For sometime Hutto had been paying marked attention to Spires' wife and had been repeatedly warned by Spires to keep away from his fSpires''] home. The warning was unheaded and on this fatal morn- i ing Hutto, during Spires' absence, made his appearance hut left before Spires returned. The t*o men, one armed with a rifle and the other with a shot gun, met in a little wood land near the Spires home. As soon as Hutto saw Spires, he opened fire, the ball outting a bough from a tree just above Spires' head. Spires returned the shot, the load of buckshot went true to the aim and killed Hutto almost instantly. Spires came to Lexington Saturday and surrendered to Sheriff Caughman and is now in jail. An inquest was held at Brookland by Coroner Wilson, but for the want of testimony the inquest was adjourned until more evidence could be obtained. Col. J. Brooks Wingard has been retained as counsel for Mr. Spires.

Desperately 111. Mrs. Sallie Drafts, of the Ella section is seriously ill and the most hopeful have but little hopes for her recovery.

" . I What the Delightful Creature Did With It After Much Advice. How she acquired it it does not really matter?possibly by teaching school, painting fire screens or washing. Anyway when she found herself in possession of the sum she set about to see what she could do with it. Certain amiable friends told her it would be very nice to buy some new dresses, hats, gloves, shoes and such. But she had a full assortment and didn't require anything of the sort. An aunt told her to invest it in a certain telegraph stock that would bring in good interest. "But I want my hundred dollars all to myself, you know." "Poor, foolish dear, it will all be yours, just the same. You can use the Interest just the same. I know where you can draw?why, G per cent." "Wh-at? That is only $G a year! I Six dollars is awfully small by the | side of this. I'm going to count it again. Maybe some of it is gone." The very thought of such a thing made < the little creature chatter. For the tenth time that day she sat down and 1 counted the talismanic roll of bills? four twenties, one ten and two fives. ( It was all right, and her pulse resumed its normal bea-t. Suddenly she gave a little shriek of delight and jumped up and cried: "I know just what I shall do! I'll get it?busted. I think that's what they call"? "Child, what are you talking about?" "Talking about finance, auntie. I'm going to make this stingy little roll into a big one. It doesn't show off at all." "Vnn nro nnoor floor " JL VU UJL \]UVV.J.t ViVu&? "I'm going to get it all in five dollar bills. I think the pictures on the fives are ever so much prettier." Life seemed more rosy after the delightful creature ' possessed twenty nice, crisp fivcf*. She counted and recounted them when an- , other fancy came. "I'm tired looking at these common bills. They don't jingle and ring. I'm 1 going to get five nice, clean, new twenty dollar goldpieces." No sooner was it said than done. The table rang for two days as she tossed the bright yellow pieces about like jack stones. Even then she wasn't quite happy. The litt tie pile of twenty dollar yellow boys ! looked so small. Then she scouted 1 about and got together 100 silver dol! lars. She polished every one daily and played with them. Next she got 200 fifty cent pieces. But life was still an aching void. She at last owned $100 In twenty-five cent coins. Surely she must be satisfied now. But, no; she broke into one of the quarters, felt discouraged after that and was quite unlike her old self until she found one little nickel left, the very last coin of the hundred dollars that had caused her so much trouble. ? Philadelphia _ _ I Ledger. Snnken. There exists among many persons a belief that snakes are creatures of more or less defective organization. Deprived of legs and reduced to effect their movements by sinuous windings of their elongated bodies and tails, they have an appearance dT helplessness which may by itself excite compassfon. Yet no mistake of the kind could well be greater. The principles of evolution suffice to make it evident that the structure of serpents must be tolerably good or else they -could never have survived nature's many destructive agencies. But, in fact, their structure is a marvel of admirable contrivances and accurate adjustments, so that we must affirm them to be as perfectly adapted to their requirements and peculiar modes of life as any other animals.?Quarterly Review. Iconoclasm. "Well," said the man who had come in from the remote wilds, "I suppose you've took your seat in congress ag'in." "No. You remember, I had the misfortune to be defeated." "You don't say: Ana aner me uavelln' forty mile to vote fer you! The folks out our way will shore be surprised. So you ain't join' to sit in congress no more?" "I'm afraid not." "Well, well! Things are certainly goin' queer these days. I reckon they'll be inovin' the Washington monument next."?Washington Star. A Thongrhtless Sister. Mrs. Getthere ? Such impudence! Here's Sister Matilda proposing to come here with both her children and make us a long visit. Mr. G.?But you spent half last season at her home in the country, and you had four children and a nurse. Mrs. G.?A different thing altogether. She has no servants, but she knows perfectly well that we have several and that every one of them will get mad am! leave if the family is increased.?New York Weekly. Pedoffogy. "But," objected the visitor, "quite a number of your pupils have broken down and become imbeciles." "True," replied the eminent educator. "but we confidently expect better things in the future.
