The market is flooded with water melons, but the prices are a little too hig' for the stringency of the times. The Mecklenburg bank, of Char. lotte, N. C., suspended last Saturday. What the liabilities of this institution are we are unablo say. Messrs. Tate and Dewey owned the bank. Chief Murphy is responsible for the death of a poor little dilapidated "purp" that wasn't fortunate enough to have the requisite $1.50 to pay the town-clerk for a collar. Such is death. The Charlotte Observer proposes starting a lying "l3." if the Obsor ver suooeeds, we hope they will give Winnsboro a showing, for we are of the opinion that she has the "ace and jack." . Rain has been pouring at intervals since Saturday, greatly beneflting the growing crop. Corn and cotton are looking remarkably well, and if the showers continue farmers will have no right to grumble at the yield. Mr. A. P. Miller is renovating the "Murphy house" on Vanderhorst St., which will be occupied by a young - friend of ours who intends to . qait bachelor life. We wish him good luck. The cotmodioup store opposite Capt. P. .Bacot's grocery, is for rent. This is one of the most desirable atapds in town, and we hope some en terprising businesa man, will take hoWl of it. Daily meetings are being held * throughout the county in the interest of the different candidates. There was quite a apirited one at Rtidgeway Thursday. Two of the candidates came near having a Nset-to." The Savannah News ays now is the timnewhen diaguoted citizene ask why a $1.50 collar has to be put on a ten cent: dog. Bleoause a collar is a prevention against hydrophobia. Why It is we dont know ; but it is so. The Cornet Band was out in full force Friday with the exception of "Charley,'' who is i n the mountaino of North iarolina hunting up his health. They discoursed sweet music and were highly complimented by all present. Monday evening's rain has been pretty general all over the County, and has caused the cotton' and corn to revive wonderfully. Mr. Edward P. Mobley tolls us that the crops in his section are looking remarkably well, and he is of the opinion that his crop has not lost a ponnd. Rev. C. E. Chichester, pastor of the Presbyterian church of this place, returned home Tuesday from a trip North, where he has been for several mnonths on account of his health. Mr. C. Is looking well and we earnestly hope his trip has been bene ficial to him. The precinct cleation for delegates to the nominating convention (for Sheriff) takes plane Saturday next. The nominating convention will be -held next Monday. 'lThe three candli dates are doing their level best, atid no doubt each one expects to receive the nomination. Mr. SamI. Catheart has comn. - snenoed the building of a new store one door south of D. R. C lad ney's. This structure takes'the place of an old eye.sore hut thathas been stand ing ther~e for the past fifty years, and will be another ornam.ent to Irish town. Our offico is supplied with new and elegant job type, ink and paper, onsaquently we are prepared to do job work at the shortest notice. Our merchants and business men have no excuse to go away from home to have their work done. We patronize then, and we think it nothing but courtesy for them to pavronizo us. The Board of Equalization for Fairfield, composed of Messrs. E. P. Mloblhy, Thos. W. Rabb, Sr., and John D. Smart, which hais been in session since last Monday, adjourned yesterday in order to give parties a uhance to show cause why the valua tion of their property should not be raised. The board will reassemble about the first of September, when complaints will heard. A very small skirmish took place between a pair of light weights Thurs day, in rear of the Court House. Fortunately a Trial Justice was present who commanded the peace, and the combatants, after a few harsh words to each other, went on their way rejoicing that no bones had been broken. The colored people, interspersed with a few a rew whites, held a pro liminary meeting in Barber's hall Tuesday night to have a talk about the coming election. The meeting was organized by calling G. W. Barber to the chair, after which the speaking con menoed, and lasted un til a late hour. Up to the time we left Go. ding had the inside track. Whether he will keep it or not, we are unable to tay. Chief of Police Murphy searched the northern bound mail train dili gently Thursday for the nissinig Parker, but nary Parker could be Found. We are of the opinion that the ex-Treasurer went in the diree ion of Wilmington. Had Scott, Neagle, Moses, Chamberlain and the rest o. the Columbia ring gone with aim the State would be blessed. North Carolina has gone republi. can <n the Convention ucestion. Mecklenburg has gone republican, ad Cul. Wn. Johnston is defeated by Gon. Barringer. Kentucky has gone democratic by an increased majority. The Alabama democrats carries he Convention by 15,000 majority. The parade of the Fire Engine Dom an Friday afrerneon was not quite so large as that of the 20th of last May. On Friday only about ane dozen men we re out., not a cor poral's guard. On the 20th of May the Company numbered sixty-four men en the drag. This is enoughm to discourage the active firemen and will undoubtedly have a tendency to break up this, the best, organization we have for the protection of our property against fire. Wec hope our young men will have mere public spirit, and not allow the fire com-, pany to go down as other societies have done in our town. Tro -ru Pour.c.-Mr. B. Sugen heimner, of the firm of S. Landeeker & Co., will leave Winneboro in the course of a few days to make his pur ohases for the fall trade of an entire new supply of dry goods, clothing and notions. Also a handsome stock of slhoes and boots. Any parties desir ous of having any I rivate ordors at tended to will receive our sincere attention. Our stock will be sucb is to compete with anything south of New York. Our aim is to have a stock to vie with anything in Winnsboro, and our prices to suit the olosest buyer. We invite the planters of Fairfield to go where their interests are studied, not in selling, but in the purchase of goods where undoubted they~ will receive bargains heretofore never offered in the town. Bc ye patient and ye shall be satis fled. A colored woman living on Squier Hall's place near Simpsona'a T. 0. Fairfield cunty gave birth on Wed nesday to a pair of "Siameso twins," The twins '.oro girls, and were born dead. They had two heada, four arms and four feet, and their two bodies were j-.ned from the base (f the neck to the umbilicus. They were alasost facing each other ; and the rily joined to a common breast. bone, the flesh unitin4t them being the whole width of the chest and 'abdomen. They wore almost per. feotty formed, anid it is the opinion of a ph ysician who examined them that they could have lived had they been born alive. tits monstrosity on Wednesday and Thursday before it was buried. The Calico ball on Tuesday night was a complete success. The Bacot band from Chester discoursed good music, and the weather was pro pituous so that the dancing was lively, thirty couples being on the floor at one time. The drawing of the cravats by the gentlemen before the first dance was very amusing ; and it was still more amusing to see thew matching their cravats with the ladie's dresses in search of their affinities. The dancing was prolong ed till a late hour. Messrs Galloway f Abbeville, and Galbraith and James Walker of Chester were guests. Winnsboro is not the biggest oily in South Carolina but sale can got up as much fun as any Sther place. PxasoNAI..-The friends of Miss Belcher, will be pleased to learn, from the following taken from the Kalamazoo Tclegraph, that she has safely arrived at her home, in M ichigan. Miss 1hilena M.

She reports the general condition of the South as much improved within the puat two years. Miss B., oame via Philadel phia, waking a stop there ; found the city all alive in reference to the great Centennial. Much has been done in the way of buildings and fitting up the grounds, and many thiigs are being sent already from Europe. The following notice was tacked up on Wednesday night on the gate post near Carley Goings' house three miles from town. "Notice, all persons who have took the earth of religion saying that they Never would rebelge against their party they will be made stand up to it If it will cause their life and Mr. Charley Goings you had better change your Notion and say you will not leave your party for we ,will come to see you if you dont ' Men of township No. 12 Aug. 3 d 1875. truly yours, S.

The time has long since passed when such ku.kluxing would be tolerated. Every man in Fairfield has the right to vote as he pleases, and will be protected in this right.
