We shall speak of this fair more fully next week. We call attention to the advertisement of J. A. Hennemao A Co., Jewelors^ Watch Repairers, &c. Mr. Trefzer, a first class gcat^shere, and weao aot'hezilnle lo recommend hitn to otft citizens as worthy their confidence and patronage. > Their stock of goods is extensive, aod;ombracee every variety of Jewelry found in the largest. Jewelry stores in cities. tm. During our lifetime we have had the misfortune to bo burnt out foar times, and each time without a dollar of insurance. Experience baa been a dear teacher to ua, and we think it has knocked a big chunk of foolishness out of us, for we keep our property fully insured now, and so does every prudent man. There's no knowing when a spark will set fire to our neighbor's honso and burn up our house also. | tgflu A rumor reaches us that not long ago a man died in this county, who was supposed to have a considerable amount of money in his house ; but after the funeral, when hie papers and effects ,were examined, no traces of the money oould be found. It is pretty certain that he had money, but being unmairied and having no faiqily to look after bis affairs daring his sickness, there is strong suspicion that It was Stolen. This is another strong argument against keeping large turns of money, in the bouse or about the person. Had the money of that man been deposited in the l)onk here, it would be safe now and the lawful heirs would ferl secure in their rights, without any unpleasant suspicion r danger of loss. It Is really surprising how many shrewd busineee men in the country will 1 risk losing their money, from fires, robbers1 and many other ways, by hoarding it about their persons, while the bank offers them a safe and perfectly responsible place of deposit for it, where it can be drawn out at any time nod in any amounts. A Csrrsotion In-the annual report of the County Com. missioners, published last week, the following important error was made by the printer, in correcting the proof; In the special Tex Levy, on the Dr. side, the item, "original aeaeesment, 1884 and 188b" should be $13,1:10.00, instead of $13,107.00, as published. I On the credit side, the item, "by commissioners orders, interest on 11. R. 11. should be $13,397.40, instead of$13,300.40, as published. A Missing Vessel. Much anxiety is felt in this community, in consequence of the non-arrival of the steamship Anchoria, from Glasgow, Scotland. She left Glasgow September 1C, and was duo in New York about the 28lb, but had not been heard from since. She hed 450 passengers on board, aarang them was Mr. W. A. Niohetsen, of this towav bis sistsr-ipdaw, Mrs. J. Ji. Allen, and hsr soa, qf Charleston. The impression in Nsw York is that some acoident has happened to her machinery and she had to resort to her sails, which would detain her ten days, perhaps longer. 8hc stopped at Londonderry and took a board 132 passengers.

A Painful Accident. Last Saturday, Robert, oldert son of our Intendant, Dr. 11. S. iicaty, made a narrow eeoapt from losing his life, by being thrown from hu father's buggy, under the following oircumatances : He accompanied his father to visit a patient, a few miles in the country. The Doctor left his son in tho buggy while he went into the house. While standing in the road some hogs ran across the road, grunting and squealing, which frightened the horse and lie ran away. He had only run a few yards when the buggy struck a tree and was capsized, throwing Robert out with such force that when his father reached him he thought he was dead. He was lying in the road, seusclcss, and quivering in ing freely front 'his head and Oft:1 time ho continued in thnt condition, and it was feared his skull had been fractured, but restoratives were promptly administered, and he gradually revived, and was brought home the next day. We are pleased to say that he has so far recovered as to be out again, and in a few days will be as sound and well as over. It was a narrow escape, sure. A Worthy Charlotte House We had a call last Saturday from Mr. M. M. Curtis, representing the old and substantial A.m r> w-.u: r, _i._i i. ui ui ui iiiunu, i? cuuiuj^vuu a vv., vrnuicsihu Hardware Merchants of Charlotte. Wo art well acquainted with this old houae, and know il to be one of the most extensive and reliable firmt this side of New York. They import, direct from Europe, most of thoir stock, in largt quantities, and will duplicate any New York bill, in quality and prices of goods. We are glad to see the enterprising naer chants of Charlotto reaching out their hands for business in this direction. It encourages us to bcltevo that whenever an opportunity offers for competing railroad facilities we may look to Charlotte with confidence for help Mr. Curtis is a very pleasant, persevering business man, and we arc pleased to know he obtained a number of good orders from merchants in town. Oftr country merchants would do well to try the Charlotte market, wher< they can buy every kind of goods they require, and save half thoir expenses of travel and freight to and from New York. Take Speoial Notioe. Notwithstanding we announce that Citationi for Administration must be paid for before they will appear in our columns, wo find charge! accumulating on our books for suoh services and there is no knowing when we shall colleol them?probably a great part of them will b< lost entirclv. When an estate in nettled nn tin Administrator generally forgets to put in th< Printer's bill, unless he hat paid t7,nnd after wanls he is not willing to pay it out of his own pocket,consequently it becomes our loss. In som< cases the estates are not settled for years, and if our costs are not paid in advance, we are made to wait all that time, drawing no inter est. Wc hare permitted this for some month! past, but we must now stop it. Wo hare, therefore, notified the Probatt Judge and Clerk of Court that hereafter we shall refuse to publish any Citation for Administration, unless the Printer's charges acooni' pauy the order.

The first frost this Fall was repotted last Mondav morning. For three dovs before the weather woe cold enough for fires and overcoats. Fortunately the weather is very dry aud the slight frost has done but little damugc. It, however, has done some damage to the cotton, in slopping the growth of the late bolls, upon which many depended to make up the loss sustained by the August drought and the general backwardness of the crop. The temperature at night still continues cold, but the days are warm, causing the bolls to open rapidly and making good weather for picking. Mr. C. B.

In spite of (lie predictions of the Senior Editor as to our susceptibility to Cupid's influence, we bavo returned home laftly, after a 1 pleasant visit to Abbeville C. II. and county. We also paid a short visit to Augusta, where sve were taken in charge by the Editorial staff ?f the Chronich, and to them we return our Lktnks for repeated kindnesses to us. Augusta is a beautiful, busy and progressive oily, with many attractions. Everybody will do well to visit Augusta, especU.ll/ to ess the numerous Tactories. While aft Abbeville we bed the pleeeure ef meeting Mr. J. S. Perrin, of the Abbeville Mtttengtr. Abbeville, like Union, needa another railroad. That county la composed ef some of (be finest cotton land in tht np-oountry, and its citiiens are a progressive end intelligent people. Bradloys, the plaoe near where we visited, is a thriving little town, with a large wagon faotory. Our impressions of Abbeville and its county entitle it justly to the name of the 'Banner county of South Carolina.' The railroad authorities have instructed the Conductors of the passenger trains to arrest and hand over to the town marsball all persons, not pavseDgers, who jump on the trains while in motion. We have noticed a good many boys, both white snd colored, who mske a praotioeof jumping on and off the passenger trains while they are in motion. This is a dangerous practice, and ths authorities are perfeotly right in trying to put an end to the reckless practice. Take warning, boys I The Conductors will be compelled to enforce their orders regardless of color. So look out! The and intelligence of the death of Mr. Robert English, formerly of this county, but late of Brooksvllle, Fla., was received here this week. After an illness of eleven days, Mr. English died on the 27th ult. The news of his death will be sadly received by his many friends who so kindly remember his bright, honest fuce and his many good traits of character. lie was a brother of Mr. W. M. English, of Goshen Hill, and to Mr. English, in the lost of his only brother we lender onr heartfelt sympathies. A few days ago, while Major Benjamin Kennedy, who lives near Jonesville, was on hii way home in his buggy with his Utile children, he met with a paiuful accident. It seems that two young ladies were driviug a horse just behind the Major's buggy, and a train coming up frighteued their horse nnd caused it to run away. Maj. Kennedy, thinking that his horss was geutle, jumped out and uttempted to stop the runaway horse, but failed to ?Jo so. His horse then took flight snd ran away, and M^j. Kennedy, in trying to slop him, had one of his ribs broken. No oue else was seriously hurt. We sympathize with the Major in his misfortune and hope he will boou recover. At last accouuls he was doing as well as could be expected. Afire occurred iu the subtitle of onr town last Tuesday uight liy which a small house tenanted by negroes was burnt. Nothing was saved from Iho houso of any consequence. The fire was supposed to be accidental.

No ether business of importance was transacted. The trial of 'the State vs. W. E. Ray, G. >Y. Fowler and 11. A. May, for MurJer, took up nearly the whole of Weduosday last. The cause of this trial has been spoken of before, in (he Timks, and it is needless for us to state the case. The defendants were ably defended by Col. I. G. McKisaick, Maj. D. A. Townscnd and S. M. Itice, Jr. The part of the State wus ably represented by Solioitor Dunoon. conclusive cviueace snowtj mat the killing of tlio deceased was purely unintentional, or rather without malice on part of the prisoners. The jury was out about fifteen minutes brought in a verdict of ' Not Guilty.' The verdict was fully expected by all who heard the evidence or knew the nature of the case, and the verdict was considered n just one. ?. .
