Courtenay has returned from New York and is looking cheerful ami hopeful, but says he can't enjoy lifo ill tho metropolis like he can at Innisfallon in Oconce. lio says thc surging masses of tho city arc not so refreshing as his quiet retreat herc among thc hills of Oconce. ll is a pitty that Oconce docs not have more such mon as thc Captain, as he is liberal, pro gressive ami enterprising,; and has thc means, too. This is the kind (d' men that a country needs, especially Oeonoe county at I his time. Capt, W. K. Choswoll was with us a few hours to-day. Ile says Wes'minster will, in thc near future, bc manufacturing cotton. We congratulate Westminster and extend Capt, Choswoll a welcome hand and wish him as thc chief promo tor success in his offerts lo build up our county and help the farmers ami all of us. Those efforts on tho part of Captain ('boswell :should bc highly appreciated, especially by the people ol Westminster, and under him to them as one of their greatest benefactors. We have down here a man that bas in vented a broom that is mad?; of material of which there is au abundance in Oco nce county.

This new broom is so constructed that if tho handle should brake anni her can bo Olisily replaced. As thc brooms are now made when a handle is broken the broom is prael ?cally use less. Thc inventor has applied for a pat ent which wi 11 no doubt bo granted, Tho inventor says he expects to form a com pany hero in Oeoiiec for tho purpose of manufacturing brooms which will cost a very small outlay of money. Wc hope this inventor will succee?l, as it will not only start a new industry among us, but will be a blow at the broom trust. Your scribe with Mr. St. John Courte nay and Dr. W.
