COLD SNAP.--Firos were in de uanl yesterday morning, caused by a cold breeze blowing from the northeast. We have had a visit from Lt. J. S. Reynolds, of King's Mountain school.

Farmers will -.save money bringing their cotton to this mar -ket as it is without doubt. tho best this side of Charleston. The Editor returns thanks for de hicious cocoa-nut candy sent him by some young ladies "because he was an editor."

Selby, Esq., the proprietor has gone into voluntary bank bankruptcy and an injunction has been issued against certain creditors who were about to levy on his property.

Stephen D. Lee, who now rep resents the Alabama Gold Life In surance Company. Gen. Lee's name is familiar to many of our readers, as that of one of the most distinguished Confederate officers. His company ranks among the staunchest in the Union. TOWN TAXES.-We would remind our readers that the time for pay ment of town taxes expires -n the 15th inst., on which day the troasur or's hooks will be closed. As the penalty for tardy payment attaches on and after that date, it is to the interest of taxpayers to nettle up at once. Read our advertisement-S. Lan docker & Co. Som'nuINo FINE.--Our thanks are due to Mr. R. J. McCarley for a bot tle of "Baltimore Club" rye whis.;key, which is represented as something unusually good.

We commend it to all. Mr. McCar Iey has a fresh and full supply. THmE Cxnous.-Tttcsday afternoon Howes' bill posters were busily on gaged covering the three mammoth bill boards with beautiful pictures of the Great London Circus. This Circus is said to be0 the largest that has ever traveled in the Sonuth, and we have no doubt wiill 1)0 ox tensivo patronized. The little boys and girls of our town between the ages of 6 and 12 years are cordially invited to pairticipato in the street procession. Those desiring a free ride wvill meet at the rendezvous at 9 o'clock A. M. GOOD Nrws.-An old friend from Monticello tells us that the farmers in his neighborhood are in a better condition this fall so far as provis ionls are concerned than they have been since thme wvar. A great many planters will have corn to sell, one in particular, Mr. J. K. Davis, raised five hundred b~ushels of corn more than he needs. This looks like there is some life in the old land yet. A great ruany of them are raising their own meat, consequently there will be no liens from that portion of the county next year. The farmers of Jackson's creek have also raised lai'ge crops of corn and hay. One hand on Capt. S. B. Clwe' plantation gathered 40, 000 p~oundls of hay off an eight acre mead1ow. As we have said before if our farmers would pay more atten tion to raising grain, ha~y and stockc they couild command their own price for their cotton just as thme manu facturer at the north does for his goods. Thank heavens they are beginning to have their eybs opened. Messrs. J. C. & E. Baily of Green ville propose establishing a tem perance organ in that city, entitled the "Iemperance Obseer." Thme size of the paper will be 24 by 36 inches and the subscription only two dollarg .penunnum. Money can be sent by P. 0., order, registero otters or bank check. 1,000 subsori.' bers are required. This 'enterprise eceives the full endorsement of the state organization as will be seen by rhe following extract from the minutes of the executive committee. OFFICE G W. JEoT'Y, I 0 G, Sumter, B.

On Friday evening last the Citi rcns' Cornet Band serenaded Gen. Stephen D. Lee who is in town on1 )siness. After the serenade Gen. Leo was called upon, and having >eon introduced by Capt. Pierre Bacot, who had roused tho distin guished visitor from his slumbers, le responded in a neat impromptu ipeoch. He alluded to the late war n which the South had made a re :ord to which she looks back vith pride. He then touchol upon Iho new duties devolving upon our )eople-the preservation of peace mad restoration of material prosperi y.

Mr. Clarkson nmis been a resident of Winnsboro for 'iclrly three years, and we regret to lose him. Ho has been a very zeal )Ua instructor. We bespeak for Mim the kind attentions of the people of Newberry, and we feel as mred that if the parents do their luty Mr. Clarkson will have a [lourishing and successful school. Upon the resignation of Mr. Clarkson, Capt. W. M. Dwight was elected to supply his place by the Ianamimous consent of trustees and p'a.trons. Capt.

To the outgoing and Lhe incoming principals we tender ur best wishes. AvUS-r FLoWER.-The most mis ?rable b)eings in the world are those miering from Dyspepsia and Liver [Domnplain t.

Dni Tuesday we called upon Dr. Peake, the County Auditor,'to obtain somne information in regard to the prloperty of the County. He very yourtoouisly showed us through his >filee. He has been very careful and painstaking ini preparinlg his statis Lies, and having been assisted in his alerical duties by Mr. WV. N. Chand ler, one of the best and neatest ac sountamts in the State, his books are I model of neatness and order. fIho books have been thoroughly rvised. Horetofore there have Lcon a large number of erroneous isseasments every year, and this has uwelled the aggregate of n ulla bona returns. It has also been the custom Lo return all the landed property of parties living in Winnsboro, in ilho bables, for townsbip 4. But this year each piece of real estate is re burned in its proper township ; and for the convenience of thme Treaisurer rnarginal notes have been made op osite the name of each property older owning property in dif !eont townships, to show in which township the separate parcels -are situated. The erroneouis assess rments of last year were large yet bhrough the enhanced value of pro perty, the assessment this year nearfy equals that of 1ait year. We give a comparative table of returns of property exclusive of that owned by corporations. Year Poe. Prop. Real Est, Total. 1874 $1,189,745 $2,565,992 $3,755,737. 1875 1,232,076 2,517,225 3,760,201.

The County of Fairfield contains about 712 square miles, and about thirty two inhabi tants to the Kinare mile. The Bankrupt. It is estimnied that of the number who launch their barques on the stormy sea of commerce, nine out of ten become bank rupt Many things conspire to effect this result. Prominent among them is "living beyond your means," exhausting your financial strength. So it ja in the p ysi cal mart, possessed of strength and antici potions of a long life, we launch out in the quest of pleasure We live belyond our means ; undermin ing our constitutions by extravagance in eating and drinking ; by disregarding the natural laws of health, and ore we are aware of it we are bankrupts in body- C dyspe)sla and themuatism, or liver com plaint, or shattered nerves, or kidney dis- 1 Caso or dropsy exhants our physical enpi- .1 tal and we are unable to meet the heavy drafts upon our constitution. But you may resume. Check your extravagance 1 and by the aid of Tutt's Pills, your broken constitution will be restored and the drafts on the exchequer of health will never ho dishonored.
