Correspondence of the Yorkville Cuquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, March 25, 1878. Court week was followed by a week of exceeding dulluess. Farmers spent the time in planting, and preparing to plant. The weather was beautifully adapted to such purposes. The sales of merchants were chiefly confined to guauo aud agricultural supplies. It is observed that while a iarge uumber are buying their supplies on lien, they are sparing in their purchases, and only getting such things and such an amount as necessity compels. A proper use of the lien law is of great advantage to those who are compelled to avail themselves of its provisions. It is only when there is an indiscriminate and extravagant purchase of articles on the lieu that it works disaster and ruin. Chester continues to improve, notwithstanding the dullness of the times aud the scarcity of money. Mr. R. Braudt has just completed a large, beautiful building on Main square. It is of brick, with two stories. Mr. Brandt will occupy one of the handsome store rooms for a jewelry store. The other will be used by Mrs. Johnson as a millinery establishment. The second floor has several large and comfortable rooms, which are well suited for offices. This new building is a great ornament to our town, and will com} pare favorably with the numerous costly aud elegant structures that have been erected on Main street during the past few years. Mr. Brandt is one of our most enterprising merchants, and has done his share in promoting the prosperity and glory of Chester. A bear, under the charge of some vagabond, created some amusement on our streets, on Wednesday, by its wonderful performances. In obeying the commands of its master, it did a variety of things, such as dancing, marking time, feigning death, etc. During : the day, wherever the bear was, there was I o 1 a rrra nrr\xxrA Anno?runpp? i UUllglCgUtcu a. .".6v, certainly warranted the supposition that the bear surpassed its keeper in sense. At a recent meeting of the Lee Light Infantry, resolutions were adopted, expressive of their sorrow at the loss sustained by the Company in the death of their late Captain, C. S. Brice. The resolutions of condolence will be comforting to the family and friends of our deceased townsman. Lieut. .T. K. Marshall will rise, by promotion, to the Captaincy of the Company. Second Lieutenant J. B. McFadden will become First Lieutenant, end Third Lieutenant M. H. Hunter will become Second Lieutenant. A vacancy will arise in the office of Third Lieutenant, for which au election will be held. He At a recent meeting of the Chester Light! W Dragoons, the following commissioned and ! non-commissioned officers were elected: T. f M. Sanders, Captain ; J. B. Cornwell, First j ' Lieutenant; R. A. Love, Second Lieutenant; i B. A. Grant, Third Lieutenant; J. L. WalkT T m 1 ur I-T T T r?n. er, o. u. vyiinniucio, >i. .*. v w. vu..uingham, Sergeants ; N.B.Simpson, Joseph Hood, S. B. Hardin, J. H. Hamilton, Corpo- j ral8; W. A. R. Wilson, Secretary, audi Fred Walker, Ensign. Gen. W. A. Walker's popularity with the members of this Company would have insured his reelection to the Captaincy, had he desired the position. Our Israelitish friends celebrated the feast of Purira with a masque ball. The affair, which was very pleasant, took place at the residence of Mr. I. L. Gunhouse. A partv of masqneraders visited the homes of several Gentiles, whom they entertained with good music and some amusing acting of the bur- ! lesque order. Our town was considerably excited last we^k upon the subject of mail dogs. A dog, supposed to be mad, bit several dogs, which was followed not only by the killing of the k biter, hut of the bitten. The excitement has subsided, and peace again dwells within our j suburbs. A short time ago the Broad River 1 side of our county was disturbed by the appearance of mad dogs. The consequence was a general destruction of the canines. Ex-Senator D. I. Walker denies the declaration of Cain, an ex-Senator from Edgefield, | before the Committee on Frauds, that he J (Walker), with seven other members, re-1 ceived five thousand dollars for services reu-, dered in their legislative capacity. He says that at the time he is charged with corruptly receiving the money stated, he was not a member of the Legislature, but the School ! Commissioner of Chester county. ? I i 1? u? ! A requisition una useu luauc uy nuvcmwi | Hampton, upon the Governor of Kentucky, J for Frank Rodeu, charged with the murder of Isaac Wilson. An officer will leave this place in a short time for Hopkinsville, Ky., wh-re the accused is imprisoned. When biought here, he will he confined in jail until ' his trial, which will take place at the Court , of General Sessions in June. There is a prospect of the construction of a i railroad from Johnson City, a growing place on the Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, to ; Lenoir, the terminus of the Chester and Le- j noir Railroad. At a recent raeetiog of the j friends of this enterprise, action was taken j looking to the immediate grading of the road, j Dr. Davega is confident that the obstacles in the way of huying the iron and completing ' the road from Dallas to Lenoir will be over- | come. When this desirable result has been consummated, the road between Lenoir and Johnson City will probably be ready for the iron, if not already in running order. It is easy to see the immense advantage accruing to Chester from the completion of railroad connection with Johnson City. The products of Tennessee and Virginia, in addition to those of North Carolina, will be at our command. Rev. R. W. Sau'lere preached a solemn sermon last evening from the text, "We all do fade as the leaf." After referring to the changes made by death in tirne9 past, and throughout the world, he brought the matter home to the heart of each one present by speaking of the great changes that have taken place in our own town during the past few years. Those who had lost friends were impressively reminded of the sad fact. The duty of making suitable preparation for the , hour of death was earnestly urged upon all. The News and Courier, of Charleston, with the opening of the political campaign, offers great inducements to subscribers. It is known and acknowledged to be one of the best newspapers in the whole country ; so it is unnecessary for me to speak of it. As the representative, at this place, of this excellent journal, I will take subscriptions at the following rates: Diily edition, six months, four dollars; tri-weekly edition, six months, two dollars; weekly edition, six mouths, seventyfive cents. Persons desiring to subscribe will find me in my office in the Davega building. The campaign will be very exciting, and the news in reference to it will be very interesting. ^ Qui. LAWS OF THE STATE.

A large proportion of the American people are to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or dis- | ordered liver. The result of these diseases upon | the masses of intelligent and valuable people is i most alarming, making life actually a burden, in- 1 stead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness, as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the advice of Drug- } gists and your friends, and try one bottle of 1 Greene's August Flower. Your speedy relief is ' certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have ! been given away to try its virtues, with satisfac- j torv results in every case. You can buy a sam- } pie bottle for 10 cents to try. Three doses will < relieve the worst case. Positively sold by all 1 Druggists on the Western Continent. For sale in ( Yorkville, by JOHN C.

The varieties of Millet known as "0 iT-i" AIL," jet this soubriquet from a fancied resemblance of ? he bloom, or head, to the feline caudal append- rr ige. That there is more than one variety of this amily, there can be no doubt, and that the value ? jossessed by the Oat-tail variety over that of oth)rs, lies in the fact of its taking on another growth >r reproducing itself after each successive cutting. ^ The "Cat" that we are proprietor of, produces K i fine straw or stalk ; grows from three to five (l eet high and has this advantage over the ^ "BIG CAT" P k >f our neighbors, that it can be used either as a ^ jreen food, or cured as hay. ^ That our "Cat" is a genuine "Cat," we submit he following extract irom a letter receiveu irom MESSRS. ALLISON & ADDISON, n >ld and reliable seedsmen of Richmond, Va.: 01 "We sent you the Cat-tail Millet ; not the te German' or 'Hungarian' Millet. It will take f0 successive growths, if cut before it blooms or Ci joes to seed." n< AS TO THE CULTURE OF OUR "CAT" S cc t should be planted in drills. The width of the ai ows and the quantity of seed to be used will ? eadily suggest themselves to the discriminating 'armer. We reiterate that we are selling our ^ 'Cat" at a profit, and are offering 20 pounds of the ^ ieed for a dollar. JOHN C.
