LOCAL ITEMS. Our streots look almost deserted; t business is dull. Ergo, tho farmers are busy preparing tor the coming seed time. . ? Cold weather is again upon as. As we have liad no winter thus far, we suppose ? >8 yet to come. A late, cold spring is reasonably expected. These extrerooe in tcmpet aturo cannot fail to prod oco sickness. Wo call attention to the County Treasnrer's notice in reference to tho Air Lino Railroad Tn*?a Wn for ft merry tiino in Pickens boforo a great wliilo over these same taxes. Our Treasurer means business this time, lie doe3, nnd no mistaks. "Est aapienti vcrbiun sat." Neither Crooked nor straight whie* key baa any placo among us now Wo have consequently, and noceaaa rially becomo a sober people; for the officers of tbo law tiro doing thoir duty, and have well nigh drivon it from our borders. % At n lute meeting of tho Baptist State Mission Board of South Carolina, the Rev, Geo. W. Singleton was ?|)jioinieu ior me general mission work in tlio Twelve Mile River A69o* elation for tlie year 187G. ^ ^ Died, at her residence, seven inilo T East ot Greenville, Texas, on the 7th January, 187G, Mrs. Susanna Gaines, wife of Elish a P. Gaines and daughter of F. N. and Elizabeth Garvin. Old Lad)-, in the door?arms akimbo and sleeves rolled an. Yon. ? r Adeline Malinda Lucy June, run over to McFnll'e and get mo some of liia Cheese, for I can't injure no oth?cr. And a voico was heard in the distance, saving: uFivo pounds of Good Cheese for one dollar at McFall'e Our County Treasni cr is still going the rc-uuds to hid different appoiutiacPivo to collcct the taxes, hut few ^ come forward and pay. They are ?--- r v???uui?, jH-.rimps, iur an extension of (imo. and llicv may be disappointed. If all wait till the lust, some w ill not | get to pay oil acc unit of ilte rush; then comes the penalty. The o'd a\iug that "thoro is luck in letsure'* would not be tn.e in tlmir canes. We did tint mean to Bay in our V last week's issue that Mr J C. Gritlin did the milling gratis, hut iuteu? to suy liisj carrying tho corn and returning tho meal was gratis. The former would l?o a little too good; it would bo more than our perverted litttnan nature could bear. We make this correction in order to keep so many fiom annoying our young townsman with tho question: Vllallol x Cal, you are grinding tor the public . gratis, hoy ?" m A negro hung around tho store of vuw u? uur mercuants all last week find tho beet part of litis, wanting to give a lion on (tie future crop for a piece of "Old JJod." If ho had been at work duiing tho time ho spent in trying to negotiate, ho could have * made tlio money and paid tho cash. This i) one of the many instances o! the bad, and wo might say sad, effects ol the present lion law. It they give a lien to ttio merchant fur sup- | plies, idleness baa become so fashion able and respectabio among them that they, in most instances, after the land owner has taken liis ronts? ^ have nothing left upon which ihe morchant can lien. The negro, to be success, most woik more, and dab^ ble in politics less. The Rev. Geo. W. Singleton, who has just returned from an extensive trip traveling over almost the whole of North cost Georgia, reports the prospects for a good wheat crop aa quite flattering, especially ah ng the Higbtower (upper Etawa) ltiver, and that the early sown oats are looking very fine. Old farmers say the pros p?ct for a good harvest has not boen better sinco tho Indians gave up their lands. lie says tliero is a aroni ? "*r#l complaint about (lio scnreity of ( money. Almost every farmer lost more or lees meat, by the unusual warm weather, about Christmas. Da eon will be unusually high in tl at scction during the coming summer. * 4 The following officers of Pickens* ville Grange, No. 350, Patrons ot Husbandry were installed for the present year on the 15th ult: J.

Will You Beliove ftWoman's 15kst Fhiksic?To relieve I lie ncliin icart of woman and bring joy where sorrow reigned supreme, is a mission before which the smiles of kings dwindle into utter insignificance.
