Come in and Linger.
Sauntering along Mollohon Row a
few mornings since in quest of an item,
and hoping something would turn up,
our good friend Dr. Fant cried out,1
"come in and linger." having learned
in infa.ney the folly of refusing any
thing, even if in ignorance of what it
was, and( entertaining the idea on
this occasion that "linger" was one
of the latest, best and happiest con

Behind Dr. S. F. Fant's prescription

lignified gentleman. He is hardly ever

nerable calls for his services he is never

nand; cool and collected he compounds
rCcurately and surely the prescription

loubt enters the mind as to its being
)roperly done. It is a-pleasure to look
Lt him and also to converse with him.
Ld one recognizes in him all the re

She Had Forgotten Something.
A lady in Portland, Me., called at a
jewelry store, and after making a pur
hase went home. Two hours later a
iessenger called at her house and in
formed her that she had left something
a the jeweler's. 'Now, let me see,'
she mused, 'what can it be? Here is
my pocketbook, and there on the sofa
is my fan, and I have my gold watch
ere, and my bonnet-why, where is
my bonnet? oh, there it is on the 1loor;
it fell off the table-and really I can't
think what I have forgotten. WVhy, to
be sure! How absent-minded I am! I
declare if I haven't forgotten my
darling precious little babe?' And so
she ad-only that and nothing more

was delivered to her some days ago,
Court.
The following cases were tried last
week:
State vs. Rosetta Rice and Lila Staf
ford, adies Lila Sondley; Murder. This
case was tried last February, resulting
in a mistrial, eleven jurors insisting on
conviction and one on acquittal. Messrs.
Johnstone, Fant and Carlisle defended
the accused on both trials. In the last
trial tho confession of the prisoners.
which was admitted in the February
trial, was ruled out on the ground th:it
said confession was made in the pres
ence of a Constable and after the Con
stable had said to the accused, "You
had better tell the truth." This having
been ruled out there was very little di
rect evidence against the accused. The
trial began Tuesday morning at 9 o'
clock and was closed Wednesday morn
ing, the jury bringing in a verdict of
"not guilty." Lila Stafford, in whose
behalf the plea of insanity had been
urged, and who during the trial had
evinced strong sympathies of such con
dition, was recommitted to jail to await
the decision of an "inquisition de lu
natico inquirendo." The Solicitor was
assisted by James Packer, Esq.
The jury brought in a verdict of "not
guilty." After the acquittal Drs. Rutf
and McIntosh examined Lila Stafford
as to her sanity, an(d pronounced her
sane. She was thereupon discharged.
State vs. Young Kinard; Grand Lar
ceny-stealing sundry goods from Geo.
P. McIntyre-pleaded guilty.
State vs. John Q. Hanter and Pierce
Harris; Highway Robbery and Assault
and Battery. Defended by James M.
Baxter and Geo. Johnstone, Esqs. Ver
dict; not guilty as to Harris; Hunter
guilty of assault and battery.
State vs. George Bouknight; High
way Robbery and Assault with Intent
to Kill. The defendant, who lived near
Bouknight's Ferry, Edgefield County,
on the 11th of April, 1879. hired to J.
W. Stultz, a Virginia tobacconist, to
travel with and wait on luim. le trav
eled with Mr. Stultz one day, from
Bouknight's Ferry to Ashford's Ferry,
on Broad River, where they camped.
The next morning the negro knocked
Mr. Stultz in the head with an axe,
stole his two pistols, a suit of clothes, a
pocket-book containing about $30, and
some other articles. Solicitor Ball was
assisted by George Johnstone, Esq.
James Packer. Esq., volunteered for the
defendant. Verdict, "Guilty on both
counts."
StaLte vs. Ben Young; Cow Stealing
--stealing a cow and a yearling from
Mr. W. W. Summer. 0. L. Schum
pert, Esq., appeared for the defendant.
The evidence was overwhelming, and
the verdict was "guilty."
State vs. William Mayes; Murder
killing Dock Sligh. The accused was
defended by Messrs. Geo. Johinstone
and Jas. Y. Culbreath, Mr. Schum
pert assisting the Solicitor. The evi
dence showed that Sligh had been in
terfering with Mayes' domestic rela
tions; that the night before the killing
he was caught by Mayes in flagrante
delicto; and that the next morning
when Mayes asked him about it he
moved toward Mayes in a threatening
manner when Mayes emptied both bar
rels of a shot gun into him.
The jury, after a little more than an
hour, brought in a verdict of "not guil
ty." Nearly everybody seemed pleased
with the verdict, for the defendant had
proved a very good character and his
provocation was great.
State vs. Harriet King, Ella King
and Dorse Peterson; Grand Larceny
stealing money from H. WV. Jones, a
North Carolina tobacconist in town the
7th of May. Sally Counts and Ailsey
Lewis, who were implicated in the mat
ter, were used as State's witnesses.
Peterson has not been arrested. The
accused were defended by W. H. Wal
lace and Geo. Johnstone, Esqs.; Mr.
Schumpert assisting the Solicitor in the
prosecution. Verdict-Guilty as to
Harriet King; not guilty as to Ellen
King.
State vs. Thomas Latimner; Grand
Larceny--Stealing, in conjunction with
George Summers and Peter Williams,
a bale of cotton from Mr. James M.
Workman. Defended by W. H. Wal
lace, Esq. Verdict; "Guilty."
State vs. D)aniel Sheppard; Biurgla
ry. The defendant stole corn from Mr.
A. M. Nichols' corn-crib by taking it
out through a crack. Defended by Jas.
L. Blease, Esq. The State failed to
prove any "breaking," either actual or
constructive; and the defendant was ac
quitted.
State vs. John Daniels-Receiving
stolen goods, knowing them to be
stolen. Defended by James M. Baxter,
Esq. "Guilty."
All the prisoners in jail were tried.
Several judgments by default were ta
ken, and the Judge left Saturday for
Laurens, where he holds Court this
week.

From the notices we see of the Press
Association we would presume that
there will be about a million of editors
in Spartanburg the 11th of Jine. So
says the Abbcville Press & Banner.
Now, if that editor will join the little
band lie will find that though it does
not number a million yet there are "mil
lions in it," and that the "ten thousand t
hearts" which beat in each bosom place 6
the number beyond computation. We
hope Hugh Wilson will be there.
Dickens' Bleak House
Took an immense hold on the public
mind, and yielded its famous author a
handsome revenue. It is our privilege
to sound the praises of a house which
far exceeds it, and had it been the priv
ilege of that illustrious Englishman to
have seen this house he might never
have written his "Old Curiosity Shop,"
no, never. We allude to the house of
Messrs. Kingsland & Heath, not the a
least of whose attractions is their accom- t
plished man Friday, in which, the store,
not Friday, is displayed an endless va
riety of rich, rare, beautiful and useful
articles in China, Crockery, Glass, Tin,
Wood, Willow and Iron Ware, Pic
tures, Frames, Lamps, Toys, in short, all
the thousand and one things which help
to make up the sum of a housekeeper's a
happiness. These gentlemen have made
a study of their business, and there is
nothing new and good in their line un
der the sun, that they do not keep. o
Their prices are very moderate besides.
Do not forget them whey you need any
thing. ____ 17-tf.
Peterson's Magazine C
For July, which has just come to
hand, has the opening chapters of a
new novelet by that brilliant writer, r
Mrs Frances Hodgson Burnett, authort
of "That Lass O'Lowrie," "Theo,"
"Kathleen," etc.. etc. If we may judge I
from these chapters, the tale will be'
one of the very best ever published,
even in "Peterson's Magazine." It
would be worth while subscribing mere
ly to get this charming love-story.
There are also original tales by Re
becca Harding Davis, Frank Lee Bene
dict, the author of "Josiah Allen's
Wife," etc., etc. Mrs. Ann S. Ste
phens also contributes some powerful
chapters to her thrilling novel, "The(
Tragedy of Trevylan." The steel en
graving, and the colored fashion plate I
are rarely beautiful. There are also.

embroidering towels, rulgs, etc. It is a
standing wonder how so splendid a
magazine, can be furnished so low, for
the price is only two dollars a year, or
one dollar for six months, with great I
deductions to club's. S pecimens, too,
are sent gratis, to persons wishing to
get up eiubs, showing that the pub
lisher invites comparison. If you are
not already a subscriber, we advise you,
at least, to send a dollar for six months,
and test this for yourselves. Or, better
still, get up a club, and earn a copy,
free, as premium. Address Chas. J.I

Mrs. Nancy H1arringtoni.
In the still hours if a December vight in
S50, f:iends n iad.ioIil been hurriedly sum
noned, on utie rin t I ,d iarrington Man
ion in Newberrv, heard! the Wailing cries of
1rs. Ilarringtin, as she bent over the pros
rate form of her noble and levole:! loinb:aid,
he vnerai e Y. .1. Ilarri ton, who had sud
lcnly died.
Mrs. HIarrington was then 4ixtv-ft-ur years
)id, and as her s. mpathizin- fi icnds lookQd
:pon her bowed form and grief strickei face
is she stood by her husband's grave, they
ct that her e'arthly pilgrimage was nearly
'nded and that she woul ! soon rejoin her
oved ones in the better land.
But how mvcerian; and inserutable are
he ways of D;vine Providence. Mrs. liar
ington lived on after her husband' dl-a
or nearly one-third of a Ce:ary. ,aw
he friends and associates of tier ha!;and1
nel herself vith many netnbers of her fam
ly P:tss alway one by one. She heard the
ist:int ntutterinr- of the war cloud, and saw
t bre.0k in al! i fury up-n the con try in
861, rassed throngh the trying vicissitudes
4' that eventfut :ad appalling time, and amid
ts darkest hours witnessed the destruetion
y fire of the old farmily mansion, around
vhich clustered so many happy memories of
ier long married life.
After thu di-astrous termination of the
ar she, in common with the aged and in- i
rm ill over the South, felt as they only
ould feel, the biteriess of the cup of sor
ow presented to the'ir lips. Still the sam
aons which she looked for evety day and
1fren longed for (Id nor come. Old age,
anhood and womanhood, in their strengt b
nd beauty, j.;yous youth, budding child
ood and prittlinz inrancy were alike cut
.own and borne to the grave, and still her I
umimons did not come. Calmly and patient
r without a murmur she awaited her Mas
r's call.
o I am watching qnietly
Every day,
Vhenever the sun shines brightly
I rise and say:
Surely it is the shining of His face,"
Lnd look unto the gates of His high place I
Beyond the sea;
'or I know He~is coming shortly
To summon me.
nd when a shadow falls across the window
Of my room,
Vhere I am working my appointed task I
lift my head to watch the door and ask t
If He is come?
Lnd the angel answers sweetly,
In my home,
Only a few more shadows,
And He will conc." t
A few years ago Mrs. Harrington left the
>wn of Newberry, to reside with her vener
ble and highly honored son-in-law, Dr. Pe
r Moon. After his death, she returned to
rewberry and became an inmate of the fam
y of her grandson, Gen. Y. J. Pope. On
lie 29th day of May last, after a short ill
ess, she pe:cefully and quietly passed away,
i the ninety-third year of her age.
So fades a summer cloud away.
So sinks the gale when storms are o'er,
So gently shuts the eye of day,
So dies a wave along the shore.
Mrs. Harrington and her husband we're
mong the original members of the Newber
y Baptist Church, of which she remained a
onsistent and faithful member.
Mrs. Harrington was a lovely and amiable
roman, modest and retiring in disposition,
ut to those who knew her well, a cheerful
nd delightful companion. Beneath an ap
arent shyness of manner there lurked a
rarm hearted, generous frankness and a rich
ein of refined, delicate humor, which gavei
nameless charm to her conversation, andt
ere was a magnetism in her voice which
an never be forgotten by those who came
nder its influence. Just as the odor of the
range blossom when inhaled in its native
lime is said to linger always in the memory.
The writer of this tribtte knew Mrs.- Har
ingon nearly half a century, and amid all
he delicate and trying ordeals through which
he passed, as a member of society and a
bristian, does not remnember ever to have
eard an unkind criticism upon her conduct.
Farewell, farewell, ' from wave to wave 'tis
tossed,
Fronm wind to wind; earth hias one tale to
tell;
dl other sounds are dulled and drowned and
lost,
In this one cry, "Farewell."
