w I i assigned by the last aunual Conference, to this field of labor, gives entire satisfaction as a man and as a dispenser of gospel truths. His last sermon was peculiarly adapted to the wauts of the Christian people. His happy illustration of the efficacy of prayer was shown in the person of a widowed mother, whose wayward boy had been the subject of her daily prayer for twenty-one years. Upon that morning she had concluded to cease praying for him, and so informed him. He then, for the first time, realized his danger, and from that moment became converted. 'Twas the beauty of her answer To her long years of prayer; For her answer came directly, ^ In her moment of despair. We wish Mr. Boyd a pleasant sojourn in our midst, and hope he may oe lnsiruiuenuw iu bringing tnauy souls to Christ. Lux. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, January 14, 1878. Two young men from Liberty Hill, Mr. John McDow and Mr. James Thompson, who recently spent a few days in our town, met with a misfortune on their return home. This was due to their boldness in crossing Wateree creek while in a swollen condition. They had reached the middle of the stream, when their unfortunate situation was vividly seen and awfully felt?their horses and buggy yielding to the force of the current and fl >ating down the stream. Quick as thought, they plunged into the water, first cutting the harness, and extricating the horses, and then swimming to the bank. This they reached in safety; the horses likewise following their example. The buggy was not recovered until the next day. Our young friends made a narrow escape. It is to be hoped that this misfortnne will not deter them from making another visit to Chester. May their expe ? rience in Wateree creek not have the effect of throwing a damper upon the hopes and anticipations excited by their trip here. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the National Bank of Chester, was held on last Tuesday. The following directors were 1 T T ?-/n Tumoa TTnmnKill FCGIGCIGU I tl? U* iUuuuir, uoiuw Joseph Wylie, J. L. Agurs, J. J. Hemphill, Matthew White, W. H. Hardin and I. L. Gunhouse. S. B. Lathan was elected in the place of G. J. Patterson, who declined reelection. J. J. McLure was reelected President, and J. L. Harris, Cashier. The election of officers was followed by the enjoyment of a fine repast, participated in by stockholders and other friends of the Bank. This institution declared a dividend of eight per cent, during the past year. While a number of hanking institutions throughout the country have succumbed to the pressure of the hard times, and closed their doors, the Chester Bank remains firm as a rock, and promises to weather all the financial storms that may beat upon it. A public meeting was held at the Court House on last Wednesday for the purpose of nominating a Town Council during the present year. Col. J. S. Wilson presided over ^ _ the meeting, and Mr. J. B. McFadden was chosen secretary. John L. Agurs, Esq., who made a very efficieut Inteodant during the past year, was renominated for the same position by acclamation. He was desirous of laying aside the robes of office, but the citizens, whom he has served so well aud faithfully, would not allow him to do so. Two other members of the old Council, Messrs. T. N. Youngblood and J. J. Hemphill, were also renominated for Wardens by acclamation. The other two members of the old Council, Messrs. J. R. Siraril aud I. L. Gunhouse, did not secure renomination, and probably were not much grieved about it. In their places Messrs. J. L. Yongue and G. D. Heath were nominated for Wardens. At a recent meeting of Odd Fellows, the following members were elected officers during the ensuing year : G. T. Schorb, N. G.; M. B. Murr, V. G.; J. J. Gibson, R. 8.; J. L. Chambers, Treasurer; H. C. Rothrock, P. G.; G. W. Curtis, P. S.; J. W. Rothrock, R H. S. to N. G.; J. F. Green, L. H. S. to N. G.; J. R. Simril, R. H. S. to V. G.; J. Erlich, L. H. S. to V. G.; S. A. Murphy, R. S. S.; A. Hogg. L. S. S.; M. V. Capps, Con ductor; E. M. Evans, Warden ; das. urawford, I. G.; C. H. Hutton, 0. G.; David B. Rothrock, Chaplain. The Odd Fellows' fra^ temity at this place is in a highly flourishing condition. At a recent meeting of the Stonewall Fire Engine Company, the following members were elected officers during the ensuing year: Major T. S. Mills, President; J. B. McFadden, 1st Director; J. L. Chambers, 2nd Director; J. D. Means, 3rd Director; M. H. Huuter, 4th Director; C. E. Cobb, 5th Director; J. F. Green, Engineer; T. W. Clawson, Secretary, and J. H. Kaufman, Treasurer. No fire company in the State has rendered more efficient and faithful service than the Stonewall. Judge Mackey has drafted a bill to be preapntf>d tn the Legislature, which Drovides that I the balloting for Federal and State officers shall be separate and distinct. To effect this end, the bill provides for two Boards of Managers and Commissioners?one Board to take charge of electious for Federal officers, and the other Board to take charge of elections for State officers. The bill also provides that the polling places for the two sets of officers shall be some distance apart, and not under the same roof. The object of the bill, it is apparent, is to secure an entire separation of the election for Federal officers from the election for State officers, so that the supervisors and marshals who, according to an act of Congress, have the right to supervise elections for members of Congress aud Presidential electors, will have no right, or reason, or | pretext, for interfering with elections for can- j didates to fill'State offices. The bill is in the interest of home rule, and will, in all probability, receive a favorable consideration at the hands of our legislators. The repeal of the lien law has occasioned considerable dissatisfaction among the poor men. They complain of their inability to j P procure agricultural supplies, aod consequeut- ] ly are greatly troubled as to how they will j carry on their farming operations. The wis-1 dom of the lien law can be justly questioned, yet as so many men for so many years have been enabled to farm through its instruraenv tality, its sudden repeal is also a matter of question. Would it not be well for the Legislature to continue it in operation for one ; year, so as to give all persons ample time to prepare for its repeal? This suggestion is thrown out for the consideration of our wiser men at Columbia. Hotto Hughle, who was accidentally shot by Oscar Massey, is improving. He is considered out of danger. The election for Intendant and Wardens of the town of Chester is progressing to-day. There are two tickets in the field, both Dera^ ocratic; one presents the names of the Council that served last year; the other ticket has the names of those nominated at the public meeting on Wednesday. The track-layers are again at work on the Cheraw and Chester Railroad. They are within a mile or so of Rich Hill, and will soon reach that place. I take pleasure in congratulating my Rich Hill friends upon the approaching realization of their fondest de sire. Qui. Jinancial anii Commercial. YORKVTLLE, January 16.?Cotton?from 6 to K>i.

In order to introduce our Big Seed Spring Wheat, The Wheat of Taos, in your locality?single grains measuring ? inch in length?I propose to send a sample of the wheat /< ee of charge, to every subscriber of this paper who will state the name of the newspaper, and send a 3 cent stamp to pay postage. Agents wanted in every county to sell this new wheat. Address L. L. OSMENT, Cleveland, Tenn. January 3 1 3t A Very Good Reason. The reason why only one sample bottle of Merrell's Hepatine for the Liver will be sold to the same person, for ten cents, by our Druggist, JOHN C. KUYKENDAL, is because of the ?.numoonf imnortinc the HeDatine in C11UJ U1UUO VA(/VUUV VI .... r 0 4 to this country ; but as there are fifty doses in the large size bottles, it seems two cents per dose is cheap enough after all for a medicine that cures dyspepsia and liver complaint. All who have not had a sample bottle are entitled to one for ten cents, at JOHN C. KUYKENDAL'S Drug Store. Three doses relieve any case of dyspepsia, constipation, indigestion, or liver complaint -in the world. Regular size bottles, fifty doses, 81.00. September 20 38 eawly A Gentle Hint. In our style of climate, with its sudden changes of temperature?rain, wind and sunshine often intermingled in a single day?it is no wonder that our children, friends and relatives are so frequently taken from us by neglected colds, half the deaths resulting directly from this cause. A bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept about your home forimmediate use will prevent serious sickness, a large doctor's bill, and perhaps death, by the use of three or four doses. For curing Consumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia. Severe Coughs, Croup, or any disease of the Throat or Lungs, its success is simply wonderful, as your druggist will tell you. German Syrup is now sold in every town and village on this continent. Sample bottles for trial, 10c.; regular size, 7f>c. December 13 42 eawly HYMENEAL.. Married?On the 6th of December, 1877, by Rev.

McCORKLE. September 20 34 tf BACK AGAIN AT THE YORKVILLE CARRIAGE FACTORY. A FTER an absence of over twelve years from J\_ the business, uncontrollable circumstances nave forced me. much against my inclination, either to close this old ana well-known establishment, or assume the management of it in person. Strange as it may seem, alter advertising it extensively for rent, that among the many nundreds who must have seen the advertisement, not even one application has been made to rent my shops. And knowing, as well as I do, from actual experience, that untiring vigilance only will secure a living at Carriage making, especially in these unprecedented hard, destitute times, I would have closed the establishment, bat for this one consideration : There are eight men, with their families, who are entirely dependent for their daily subsistence upon procuring employment at this factory ; ana in consideration of its being kept in operation, they promise to do better work than has eyer been done in any carriage factory in America. With these workmen, most of them battlescarred in their country's service, it is life with work, or starvation without it I know that I can direct their labors so as to make them comfortable and benefit every man who may favor them with any work he may need in this line of business. My personal attention shall be given to repairing of every description. Carnages, Buggies and Wagons shall receive such care, in repairing, as will give the owners entire satisfaction, or no pay will be required. So now is the time to bring your old vehicles and have them renewed, or exchange them for new ones, of which we will soon have in our sLow rooms a good assortment, and at lower prices than the same style and quality can be had in any other establishment in the wide world!?all warranted never to fail by any defect in workmanship, or material. And the warrantee will be good; for I have the wherewith to make it good, as I do not place myself in this laborious, almost Blavish position, for the Bmall profits attached. They are as trash in comparison, though I do not propose to work for nothing, but in fact and trutn to enable the workmen to live, and next, to benefit those who need vehicles repaired, or new ones for the benefit and comfort of their families. Carriages are a great religious, moral and refining institution, and do more to build and keep up churches, christianize and refine society, than any other article that is manufactured in America. If the family do notgo to church on Sunday? and many in the country cannot go without a vehicle in which to ride?the children soon begin to look upon Sunday as a day of play, hunting or fishing. And children who thus spend the Sabbath, eventually fill our jails, penitentiary, and even worse places, and rob us, if in no other way, in taxes of the hard earned money we need for other purposes. Buy a carriage or Buggy in which w take your families to church. Thousands of men and women have been saved from disgrace by the recollection of the prayers said at their mother's knee. The prosperity of carriage making is coequal with that of religion. When either declines, the other will, and you cannot keep the fire of religion burning in your haar+a if Trrm fall tn Assemble. esDeciallv on the Lord's day, to hear his life-giving word read and expounded. Get you a vehicle, of some kind, to convey you to church. We want any quantity of spokes?white oak and hickory; plank, of ash, hickory and poplar, and thousands of bushels of coal. Almost any man can supply enough of these articles to pay for a carriage; "but we will pay cash when ft is preferred. We need these materials, and now is the proper time to cut timber and burn coal. The cash will be paid on delivery of any article for which we advertise. B. T. WHEELER. January 10 2 ly AUCTION SALES, CHATTEL MORTGAGE SALE. SOUTH CABOLIHA-YOEK COUBTY. L. B. Davis & Co., to H. H.

We have sold goods to parties who promised faitbftilly to pay by November 1st, and the time is gone, ana no pay yet. It is not right for a man to make promises and not fulfill his word unless he had a good excuse. And some would think it hard to be refused credit. The reason they are refused is that they do not perform their part of the contract. We have done our duty by you, and now we ask you to do yours by us. Your promises do not pay for goods in Northern cities, and how are wetokeep up? Interest isrunningand some, do not like to pay it. But still they will let it ac cumulate, ana mane tneir notes larger, -i nose who have done their duty, as men should do, we thank; and will be very thankful to those who do theirs in the future. We only ask for our kindness to be reciprocated in Gold, Silver, Greenbacks, or Cotton at a good price. We will give a good price for Cotton to those owing us, and pay them the balance in money, should the Cotton overpay their note or account.
