Special and Local.
THE NEW POSTAL LAw.-After the 1st
January, 1875, editors have to prepay all ti
papers from their office. Of course no pul
lisher can afford to pay postagefor a subse
ber in arrears. - We give this timely noti;
to all delinquents that we will not let the
names encumber our books after that perio
DEcIsxoNs OF THE CouaTs.-Auy perso
who takes a paper regularly from the Pos
Office-whether directed to his name or an<
ther, or whether he subscribed or not-is r(
sponsible for the pay. If a person orders h
paper discontinued he must pay all arrea:
ages, or the publisher may continue to sen
it until payment is made, and collect th
whole amount, whether it is taken from th
office or not. The Courts have decided ths
refasing to take newspapers and periodical
from the Post Office, or removing and leav
jug them uncilled for, is prima facie evidenc
o intentional fraud. 44-tf.
Communications on subjects of interest t
the public are always acceptable. The name
of writers, remember, must always aceomps
ny a letter to insure its publication. No re
sponsibility is assumed for any other view
than our own.
All single or transient business notices i
the local department are inserted at the rat
of fifteen cents per line-liberal contract
made for three. six or twelve months. t:
( TAKE -OTICE.-All parties having A(
ministrator's or Executor's Notices fo
tublication, will save themselves troubl
by coming prepared to pay for the sam
before insertion, as our terms are cash.
Lawyers handing in such notices will be
held responsible for the payment.
9-tt.
They will also be held responsible for th
publication of all notices in Bankrupt cases
Transient advertisements of any kind mus
be paid for in advance, if the parties adver
tising do not reside in town.
Job work and subscriptions strictly cash.
All papers shall be stopped hereafter a
soon as the term of subscription expires, ut
less satisfactory arrangements are made t(
continue the same.
The >4 mark denotes expiration-after tha
the paper is discontinued.
Bear these things in mind. 3-tf

QUAETEELY CONFERENCE.-The-See'
ond Quarterly Conference of the M. E
Church, Newberry Circtiit, was held al
Tabernacle, about twelve miles fron
here, on Saturday and Sunday last
The Rev. Manning Brown presided
-We learn that the meeting was largel)
attended and very interesting.
The Closing Exercises of the Hoge
School, under the management of the

DIED, on Saturday last, from the eft
fects of teething, the infant son of Mr.
J. K. G. Nance. The little sufferei
was one of a pair of twins. We are
glad to say that the other, a little girl
who was dangerously ill at the time ol
the death of her little brother, is now~
better. Our sympathies are extendet
the family.
"The best rule," says a wise writer
"is to say all the good we can of ever3
one, and to refrain from saying evil,
unless it becomes a clear matter of duty
to warn. Slander is a sin much worse
than theft. We should no more bitE
one with our words than with our teeth
An angry word is worse than a bloni
often, and a satirical word is like a
sting."
BIBLE SOCIr.-The Newberry Bi
ble Society did a larger business las1
year than any previous year since its
orgr'nization. Statistics show that there
are more Bibles disposed of in this
County than of any other book pub
lished, unless it be Webster's Speilers
This speaks well for the religious senti
ment of the people, but does not flattel
them in a literary point of view.

I am prepared to treat Fistula, Piles
Ulcers, Fissure, Strieture, Prolapsus

THE DAUG~HTER.-"Nothing is mor<
desirable in a daughter than intelligence
joied to a gentle spirit. The mind i
fashioned and furnisheid, in the main
at school; but the character is derive<
hiely from I ->me. How inestimabl<
is the confidence 'of that mother, in pro
ducing kind feelings in the bosoms o
her- children, who never permits her
self to speak to them with a loud voicE
and in harsh, unkind tones !"
FLOWING IN MILK.-We never cros
the Alston Bridge, going down or coit
ing up, without being stirred to our in
most depths, and to pass by the hosp:
table hostelry kept by Mrs. Elkin
would give us the blues. Beside othe
good things always to be had there, on
is sure of an abundance of the riches
milk and freshest butter, and the butte>
milk is the most refreshing and satisf3
ing we ever drank. On a recent occasio
our surprise was great to learn that th
farm attached boasts of no less than ft
teen first rate milch cows, some <
which are super excellent; it is nc
strange then that the place almost lil
er.iuy ans with milk, and what makE
COL. PEAKE AND THE R. R.-We are
pleased to learn that Col. Peake will be
f able in a few days to bring the cities of
e Newberry and Jalapa in communica
tion by rail. This is indeed cheering
information, and the Colonel is entitled
to great praise for the energetic manner
n in w5hich he is pushing the work. Nor
will it be long ere the line will be corn
- plete between the two extreme points,
s and Laurens so long shut out from the
I world be brought into fail and happy
e connection.
e
s INSTRUCTION IN Music.-Prof. N.
Schmitt, well known in South Carolina,
having been teaching music for fifteen
0 years in Newberry, Greenwood, Abbe
ville, Due West, Greenville, Spartan
burg and Columbia, is now back again
in our tbwn and has taken a class in
a music on different Instruments. Those
e who desire to take lessons will find him
at his Music Room in Temperance
Hall. Terms reasonable.
He will also tune and repair Pianos
and Organs with satisfaction, or make
no charge. 22-1t.
COMMENCEXENT.-We acknowledge
an invitation from the Rev. S. Lander,
t President of Williamston Female Col
lege, to attend the Commencement Ex
ercises which begin on the 16th of June.
5 The following is the programme:
Wednesday, June 16th, 8 o'clock P.
M., Commencement Sermon, by Rev.
J. I. Bonner, D. D., President of Due
West Female College, S. C.
Thursday, June 17th, 11 o'clock A.
M.. Literary Address, by Rev. E. J. c
Meynardie, D. D., of Greenville, S. C. ij
Thursday, June 17th, 8 o'clock P. M., I
Closing Concert and Graduating Exer
cises.

STRANGE.-It is not a little singular
how similar the accidents which occur
red to Mr. Wm. C. Johnson and Mr.
J. 0. Peoples. Both were fractures of
the left leg bones, and each happened t
on a Thursday, and about half past f
eleven o'clock in the morning, and the
sufferers are neighbors living immedi
ately opposite each other, and both
C
members of the Masonic fraternity.
The other male residents, immediate
neighbors of these gentlemen, are grow- n
ing superstitious and fear that their turn
will come next. We trust, however,
that the epidemic will not spread any
further.
WAx FLOWERS.-Mrs. Win. T. Guy,
of Charleston, S. C., spending the sum
mer months here in Newberry, wishes t
to organize a class in wax flowers and
fruit, hair flowers, worsted and leather
-work, crystallizing, and the transferring
of paintings, also all kinds of fancy r
work in knitting, netting and crochet
embroidery, of all the latest fashions.0
Prices moderate. Some of her speci
mens can be seen at her father's house,t
(Mr. N. Schmitt,) where Mrs. Guy can
be seen. All those desiring to take les-t
sons will please give Mrs. Guy a call.
She.can teach any one perfectly in ten
days. Mrs. Guy was awarded the high- t
est premium at the agricultural fair in
Augusta, for the finest wax and hair 1
work. 22-1t.
SAD ACCIDENr.-We regret to say 0
that our townsman, Mr. J. 0. Peoples, D
sustained serious damage on Thursday ti
last by the double fracture of his left g
leg below the knee. He was in the act I
of taking a seat in Dr. 0. A. Norris' V
wagon when the mule attached to it 5
became frightened at his open umbrella, il
and darted off. While in the attempt c
to let the umbrella down, the wagonb
struck a curb stone, and the danger be- b
coming more imminent, Mr. P. jumped il
out, and unfortunately with the result t
as already stated. We are pleased to ~y
say that his physicians, Drs. Mayer & v
Mayer, give him the promise of being 1:
on his legs again in a short period, and s
we trust the promise may be realized, a
as it requires a large amount of philoso- d
phy to bear confinement to bed during ~
the sweltering days of summer.
To HOUSEKEEPES.-With the open-- c
ing of Spring, housekeepers find that, t~
besides the wear and tear and smash of a
the winter, which makes an addition to a
their stock of kitchen and dmning room s
chattels necessary, there are many arti- a
cles peeuliar to the season which must be s
had, and where to find them readily and y
cheaply is the onestion. Messrs. Kings
land & Heath solves the problem by in
viting all per'sons in need of china, e
glass, stone, wood, iron and tin ware, to d
visit their store in Columbia, under the t
Columbia Hotel. 16-tf 6
f
EVERY ROSE HAS ITS IQRN.-So- I
ciety has been lately shaken :.0 its very i.
depth. Husbands of large wives and 3
fathers of many daughters have felt a s
spirit of refreshing at the glorious in- c
telligence that calico, which will stand t
washing, could be had at six and a quar-i
ter cents per yard. -Yes 'tis even so. ]
But, alas, every sweet has its bitter, for t
it is discovered that instead of ten yards a
being enough to enclose the form di
vine fifteen will scarcely do, and for a I
~good flowing fit twenty yards are neces
sary. Oh, ye gods and little fishes,
what is to become of the heads of fami
lies. Twenty yards of calico, the half
of a bolt. If there is not some special
s enactment made to meet this great evili
. there is no telling what will be the con- I
. sequence. Mr. Henry Kinard, the great
.Dry Goods man of Columbia, sells beau-.
tiful patterns at the price named. it.
e ST8.ANGE.-The horse which has the 1
t honor to do the transportation business1
.of the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Ma
.chine Company here, seems to be pos
Ssessed with the mania of drawing his
Swagon through the Hardware' store of
Boozer & Peoples. Twice has he made

Mr. Brooks' popular Male Academ,
not to be outdone h the young ladi(
of the Female Seminary, gave a part
last Friday on the banks of Bush Rive1
just beyond Lindsey's Bridge. Beii
on the retired list we were not expectec
but as the road leading to the spc
elected was public and open to an
::itizen, regardless of age or dispositior
we drove out in the cool of the aftei
aoon, and were pleased to see that th
place chosen was a charming one, an
hat the happy maidens and youth wer,
were in a state of intense enjoyment
md to hear also that the refreshwent

hl in quantity. After a long summei
lay's enjoyment the festive party re
,urned to town, and some of them, w(
earn, after fixing up, repaired to th<
Feemale Seminary and renewed the fun
JALAPA ITEMS.-The weather is ho
tnd dry-rain is much needed.
Mr. James Bradock, of Laurens, age
4, passed our town driving a wagon
Ie are told he follows the plow daily.
Nan Newberry furnish any such?
Mr. Duckley, of Cross Keys, agec
7, came to our town, and said he was
n his way to Newberry, as lie had
iever been there. He is a tanner ol
onsiderable note-looks well and quitt
trong.
The mineral spring of this place it
auch resorted to, and its waters freely
rank, with much benefit.
Capt. G. W. L. Spearman has pur
hased a half interest of the spring and
ts surroundings. Whether he and W.
Waters, Esq., intend to build this
eason is not yet ascertained.
The engine on the Laurens R. R. will
low its whistle at Jalapa on June 2nd
r 3rd. As Col. Peake is not expected
: cross the "FoRD" by the first, we ex
ect to partake of Laurens' TODD-ie.
John Speed was read much with in.
rest; but John should give the young
trmer credit by stating the sample or
pecimen of corn wias waist high, it being
igher than any of his crop of field
ulture.
Grain is fast ripening, and some is
eing cut. The hoeing of cotton is al
iost the entire farm labor performed at

We expect to receive the next issue

We have a market of the finest beel

[e only butchers young and fat beeves
1at an infant could masticate. Go on,
:ob, you have hit your calling.
"VHELL, \HELL, ISH- DAT ZO?"
here is no doubt at all about it; it is
ally "zo." The B~Itimore Corner is
ne more run by its old proprietor, Mr.
Vicker. And as some of our foreign
aders, do not know anything about
1 circumstances, and seeing the many
otices recently in regard to this gen.
enan and his intention to open, may
nagine thathe is'either a very open man
has been torn wide open by recent
>rnadoes or other misfortunes, we will
alighten them. Mr. Wicker, familiar
rand affectionately known as Uncle
.ndy, and the projector and proprietor
f the Batimore Confectionery, in a rash
ioment and without proper apprecia
on of the circumstances, sold out to a
ay and festive youth from rural parts.
rm that period until quite recently
!henl he conceived the happy idea of
~arting a second edition-he has been
i a sore frame of mind, "Othello's oc
apaton" was gone, and but for the
uildig which he erected and opened
at one week ago, we verily believe he
ight have gone where the woodhine
vineth. In the meantime the festive
outh found that the Baltimore Corner
ithout Uncle Andy was not so popui
tr as e wouild like, and therefore lhe
>ld out to one better calculated by age
ud experience, to fill the bill. But it
id not do-the great want was Uncle
.ndy, the children missed him and the
eople clamored. Under these circum
;ances what better for the secaud pur
baser alluded to above than to banter
ie old original to take theastand back
gain. Hjappily the trade was effected,
ad Uncle Andy once more reigns
aipremie at the old Baltimore Corner,
nd will dispose of a very superior
.ock of goods to any and everybody
rho has the cash. Long may he wave.
D. E. E. JACKSON.-WC were pleas.
d to receive a visit from this popular
ruggist lately, and subsequently to re
arn te visit at his new store on Main
treet, Columbia. As usual, he wvas
>und busy, as lie always is. He is the
usiest man in our acquaintance, and it
no wonder, for he has such winning
rays, and besides is alwvays adding
ome new attractions to his stock of
uriosities, articles of virtue we call
em, for we differ with the young mar
a the city who calls them jim-cracks.
avery addition of merit is a new at.
raction and helps to set off his hand
ome store, and give pleasure to the
riends who visit him. Certain it is,
usiness is helped by it. Who would
tot buy a plaster or a box of bitter pills
hen the surroundings are pleasant and
weet. The Doctor is an authority, too,

imbia, through the Union-Heraldl, rely
mplicitly on his predictions-this toc

atisfied with the publicity given by th(
Terald, lie has had erected in front
andsome sign post, on one side 0o
whichi is a bulletin, on whic~h three
imes a day is given a. register of th<
hermoeter, barometer and the statt

enience. He has lately, too, had th<
yleasure of adding to the beauties o

.n full rig, which was built by Mr
Eugene Cramer. It is a thing of beautj
-anl everything is complete about it
even to the figures of the old tars, wh<'
.ook like they might be half seas ove:

>f SPoNGIxo.-This is the way the Pella
7, Bladc puts it: "lWhen you want a no
tice of some enterprise in which you
y are interested, 'spongo' on your local
paper; but if you want any printing
dwne, give your orler to some drummer
1, out of town, or some job office, which
t cannot aid your enterprise by giving it
y a notice."
, While the Middleburg, N. Y., Ga
zette, gives vent to his pent up feelings,
e in this mannei: "One of the hardest
I tasks we were ever asked to perform
a was to say a good word for a man who
had died after cheating us out of a sub
J scription bill. But we knew the re
cording angel would call* his attention
- to the inatter, and so we did as request
ed."
PERRY & SLAWSOX, wholesale and
retail dealers of Segars, Tobacco, &c.,
above the Columbia Hotel on Main
Street, Columbia, respectfully invite at
tention to their large and choice stock
of goods. Every variety and price of
Segar can be had at their establishment
from the finest grade down to common,
and at prices which defy competition.
Their determination is to give the ut
most satisfaction in the quality of their
Segars and Tobacco, and at the same
time they do not forget to fix prices in
accordance with the times. A visit to
their store will assuredly result in pleas
tire, and an order will meet with prompt
attention. Remember the place, just
below J. C. Dial's Hardware Store, on
Main Street. 16-tf.
SK.-TINc TOURNAMENT.-According
to programme Prof. Milam's prepara
tions for the grand Skating Tourna
ment were all completed and in time
forthe large and brilliant company of
ladies, gentlemen, misses and youth
which assembled at the Hall on Thurs
day evening last. The well dressed
ladies and gentlemen, the bright lights,
and the bewitching music of the' Cor
nets all conspired to make the scene
particularly attractive. Absence from
the city prevented our participating in
the enjoyment of the occasion or of see
ing for ourself, but the description given
to us by one who was there afforils sat
isfactory data for a local. We imagine
that a tournament by night, under the
influence of bright lamp lights and mu
sic, without the disturbing and annoy
ing effects of a sweltering sun, or clouds
of dut, wild and reckless dashing about
of horses, rolling of vehicles, and the
awkward and sometimes painful acci
dents which occur, must be an enjoy
able affair. So it proved in this in
stance. .The ladies looked their pret
tiest and the gentlemen had nothing
else to do but to play the agreeable
hence Milam's tournanment was a suc
cess We learn that the skating was
capital, both ladies and gentlemen ex
hibiting marked proficiency.
In the contest between the gentlemen,
Mr. A. Foot, as Knight of Newberry,
succeeded in taking the prize, a fine
pair of skates, with the privilege of
crowning a Queen of Love and Beauty.
His choice was made by selecting Miss
Lula Greneker, and the pleasing duty of
crowning her was performed by him with
his usual graceful dignity. The next
in order were Mr. Harry O'Neill, Knight
of Chesapeake, whose choice fell upon
Miss Sue Dansby, as First Maid; Mr.
James Milner, Knight of Georgia,
Miss Mamie Pool, as second; Mr. J. B.
O'Neill, Knight of Maryland, Miss Car
ro Motte, as third: and Mr. Ed. Stod
dard, as Ivanhoe, Miss Fanny Chap
man, as fourth. There were two other
Knights only, Messrs. P, T. Brew
er, as Columbus, and Ed. Scholtz, as
Prussia, who bore their .disappointment
in not being privileged to crown ye
fair lady as became true Knights and
gentlemen.
After the tilt, and the interesting
ceremony of the crowning, ladies
and gentlemen took the floor and a
lively time was had, wvhich did not
terminate until the witching hour of
twelve, when each one of the charmed
and charming circle returned to their
homes well pleased with the entertain
ment afforded by the Professor.
We forgot to mentioni in the proper
place that much of the enjoyment of
the evening is attributable to the gal
lant attentions and efficient labors of
the judges-Messrs. Silas Johnstone,
Y. J. Pope and WV. F. Nance.
Due notice will be given of the next
tournament.
CANTuTA o1r QUEEN Esn1gR..-The
Court House was filled to its utmost on
Tuesday night last by a highly pleased
and apprcciative audience, and we are
proud to say thiat the rendering of this
exquisite Oratorio gave evidence that
we have a large amount of talent in
our town. The entertainment on this
occasion was .new and novel for this
latitude, and of a character calculated
to impart a good influence, for unlike
the general run of floating amuse
ments, there was nothing impure or
triling about it, and we haiil this effort
we might say sacrifice-on the part of
the young ladies and gentlemen of our
town as a hiappy augury of the future.
Nothwithstnding the heat of the eve
ning, the crowded condition of the
rooml, and the awkwvard arrangement
of some of the seats, each one of the
1large audience seemed, long before the
stubborn red curtain was raised, to be
en~ rapport with those behind the scenes.
It was not strange, then, that the ele
vation of the curtain brought out a
lively greeting. The acting generally
was good and the solos and chorusses
excellent, much better than could have
been expected. The costumes, also,
were in good taste and showed to much
f advan~tage, It would occupy too much
>space to particularize each one of the
.characters and the parts sustained by
them, nor will we attempt it, but wve
cannot help saying that Miss Carro was
a charming and perfect Queen, and her
r' voice, tremulous in the opening and
t naenl too-, n weak, soon swelled into
mellifluous strains, and their graces o
person to the scene, will allow us to sa:
that Dr. Ed., as the King, filled the bil
entirely. Ie was every inch the char
acter he represented, and looked as i
he had been enjoying a kingly life o
luxury for, lo, these many years, th<
effect of which had made his voieC
round, mellow and impressive. Th<
character of Haman was well persona
ted, as was that of Mordecai, and the
only fault which can be found with
either is that they would sometimes
help to let down the troublesome red
curtain. They made themselves useful
as well as ornamental. The semi-cho
russes of children in the fifth act was de
decidedly good-and brought down the
house in a storm of applause, loud,
long and continued, until it had to be
repeated.
Take the Cantata altogether it was a
decided success, and we congratulate
the community on their good fortune in
having so much talent and beauty in
its midst. Hereafter we need be under
no obligation to the outside world for
entertainments when we can get up
one so good at home.
By request, the Oratorio was repeated
on Monday evening to a well-filled
house, and in the happiest style; and it
is thought by some that it was better
than on the first occasion; it could
scarcely have been so, however, for ex
cept that the audience was better able
to appreciate the singing and acting,
we could see no difference. On both
occasions we were filled with delight.
We omitted mention above of Miss S.,
who, as Mordecai's sister, gave proof
that she has a sweet and cultivated
voice. We would like to name several
other young ladies who performed their
roles in a charming manner and sang
delightfully, but space forbids.
The proceeds of the first, amounting
to .$125.00, will be appropriated to the
Episcopal Church of this place, and
that of the second to the State Monu
mental Association. To Miss Mary
Motte and others, who were largely in
strumental in getting up the Oratorio,
and whose labors were very great, much
praise is due.
ABOUT TIE ToWN AND COUNTY.
June has 30 days-Tuesday the first.
The weather is warm-just what
might be expected.
Crops are growing finely-the stands
of cotton are excellent.
Saturday was quite lively-wagons
were plentiful and trade brisk.
It is a pleasure to state Mr. Bowers
as painted that excellent fence.
People came from far and near to the
Cantata of Esther-and returned pleas
d.
Jalapa, we are pleased to state, has a
regularly appointed post office now.
Dr. Willie Folk is the P. M.
Mollohon Row should start a Spelling.
Bee Society and charge a small admis
~ion fee-business is so very dull.
WaIhalla has again been heard from
trough her chickens. Some of them
row with the vigor of mature age.
Capt. J. Y. Huinter will cut wheat this
~veek-his oats are fine-gardens and
rops round and about Martin's Depot
oing well.
Jalapa and Newberry will soon, in
he course of a few days, be in, direct
ommunication by rail. Good news.
[ook out, friends.
Mr. Seldon Davis exhibited a stalk
f cotton at the city of Jalapa on Friday,
which had on it a well developed shape,
and a stalk of corn over three feet high.
Pretty good for Jalapa.
SQme nmiserable thief has stolen our
yearling calf; it was our dependance.
May he never have any appetite for

et the toughest and stringiest kind.
The Town Clerk, Mr. J. S. Fair, who
as given notice through the "Age"
hat taxes should be paid before the
first of June, will now proceed to attach
he penalty on defaulters. 'Tis hard,
ut true.
Mr. J.W.Reagln took ahornon Thurs
ay last,and we are happy to say without
ay bad effects. It was a tin horn, and
ooked very much like the one the Lau
ens mail driver bing&such dismal
music from.
The young man, whose nose is minus
a piece of bark about half an inch
square, says lie knows how it ocgm-red
and that mnust be sufficient. We would
inquire further, but fear a dislocation
of our nasal organ.
Thanks are due and are hereby tender
ed to Mr. Harmon and his efficient corps
of clerks, for taking charge of the Book
Store on Thursday last, during our ne
essary absence. Business was uncom
mon brisk on that day.
Mr. T. W. Holloway, of Pomaria,
was raided lately, the - thieves taking
from him four nice hams and seven
sides of mieat, besides other necessaries.
The only chance now is to set man traps
and catch the rascals.
Some folks imight have supposed that
the Modocs were in town Friday after
noon, judging by the noise made by
some of the pic-nic-ers as they drove
through the streets. We don't think
that kind of fun is exactly in taste.
Do you want a treat? Go to Speck's
Confectionery between 11 and 12 and
ask for a bowl of soup. After twelve
call for ice cream, and any time during
the day and night till closing time, for
lemonade, soda water, candies, fruit,
cakes, nuts, cigars, &c.

A QUAKER PRINTER'S PROVERBS.
Never sen-i an article for publicatio:
without giving the editor thy name, fo
thy name oftentimes secures publicatib
to worthless articles.
Thou shouldst not rap at the door o
a printing office; for he that answeretl
the rap sneereth in his sleeve and losetl
time.
Never do thou loaf about, nor knoci
down the type, or the boys will love
thee as they do the shade trees-wher
thou leavest.
Thou shouldst never read the copy or
the ptinter's case or the sharp and ho6k
ed container thereof, or he may knoch
Ihee down.
Never inquire of the editor for news,
for behold it is his business to give it to
thee at the appointed time without ask
ing for it.
It is not right that thou shouldst ask
him who is the author of an article, for
it is his duty to keep such things unto
himself.
When thou dost enter his office, take
heed unto thyself that thou dost not look
at what may concern thee not, for that
is not meet in the sight of good breed
ing.
Neither examine thou the proof-sheet,
for it is not ready to meet thine eye,
thou mayest understand.
Prefer thine own town paper to any
other, and subscribe for it immediately.
Pay for it in advance, and it shall be
well with thee and thine.-Exchange.
FUNNY-GRAPHS.
"Don't come to see me any more just
yet, John. Father has been having his
boots half-soled, with two rows of nails
around the toes."
After waiting four years, a Michigan
lover finally popped the question, and
the girl answered, "Of course, I'll have
you. Why, you old fool you, we could
have been married three years ago."
"Are you not alarmed at the approach
of the king of terrors?" said.i minister
to a sick man. "Oh, no; have been living
six and thirty years with the queen
of terrors-the king cannot be much
worse."
When a man and woman are made
one by a clergyman, the question is,
which is the one. Sometimes there is a
long struggle between them before the
matter is finally settled.
"May I leave a few tracts?" asked a
medical missionary of a lady who re
sponded to his knock. "Leave some
tracts? Certainly you may," sai she,
looking benignly at lijri over her specks.
"Leave them with your heels towardls
the house, if you please."
Julia-"Oh, Carrie, T've got a new
feller; perfectly splendid! The other
was too miserable for anything." Bings
overhears this extraordinary language
of his beloved Julia, and thinks it is all
over with him, and that the world is
hollow. Poor "feller!" how was he to
knowv that the dear girl is only talking
about the sewing machine?
"You see," said Mrs. McFadden, "it's
meself as fears no man as walks-not
me, an' I stood me ground like a Spar
tan, I did, till he comes at me wid the
buck-saw and then I yelled for the
p'lace, for it's not mieself as htas ony
more fingers as I wants, your honor."
BEARu IT IN 3IND that transient adver
tisements must be paid for in advance.
Subscriptions the same. Job wori,

No accounts are kept in the Book
Store either, and parties wanting books
or stationery must come prepared to
pay for them. 20-tf,
Ir Is TRULT WQNDERFUL, the variety
and ingenuity of the conveniences for the
desk and office-Pens of various patterns,
Inkstnds possessing numberless advantages,
Letter Files, each one the best, Envelopes of
size and qualities infinite. It is almost be
wvildering to enter the large Broad Street
Store of Walker, Evans & Co.gswell, i
Charleston, and see tiip numtner~ of these
attractions. Ihere you find the largest Sta
