DAVIES. ? We regret to announce the death of Mr. John / L. Davies, the principal of Clover High School, in this county, which occurred in that town from dysinterv, at 6 o'clock last Monday evening. Mr. Davies was a young man of fine attainments, and bid fair to have become distinguished as an educator. He was buried at Beersheba onTues| V day. SALES-DAY. There were very few people in town from the country on Monday last, saies-aav ior June. t The only official sale was the following by the ] Sheriff: Defendant's interest, if any, in remain- j dor of tracts of land after laying off defendant's t homestead of 22i acres. Sold at the snit of W. f C. Latimer vs. Polly L. Timme, and bought by s W. C. Latimer for ?1. C THE COTTON PLANT. jj We have received the" June number of the . f Cotton Plant, the only publication in the State L exclusively of an agricultural character. It is valuable to the farmers and deserves a liberal support. The number before us is filled with interesting matter. The Cotton Plant is a well, printed 8-page, 40-column paper, published monthly at the low price of sixty cents a year by W. J. McKcrall, Marion, S. C. a OPERATIC AND DRAMATIC. J The Yorkville Amateurs annnounce two en- j tertainments to be given by them in the College g Hall?one on Tuesday night next, and the other on Friday night of the following week. The programme for next Tuesday night embraces c the operetta "Crimson Scarf," and the amusing i' drama, "Handy Andy." The former has been j* in rehearsal for some time, and judging from j the musical talent engaged in it an evening of '] enjoyment is in store for all who attend. S K s 7s - SALE OF A HOTEL. g Mr. C. G. Parish has bought from Messrs. i Falls <fc Wilson the hotel property in this place at present leased by Air, A. springs w liners, and familiarly known as the "King's Mountain Hotel," it being the property long owned by the ; late Joshua G,oore. The price paid for the property has not been made public. Mr. Parish will make some repairs immediately needed, and will g perhaps next year remodel a portion of the 0 building. q PERSONAL MENTION. Mr. Joseph nerndon has returned from his extended visit to the Indian Territory, having ~ enjoyed his trip remarkably well. He is delighted with the Indian Territory, and pro- I nounces it naturally the most fertile and beautiful section of the country he has ever seen. o Mr. John E. Harper, who was badly burned in ^ extinguishing the tire caused by the explosion of a lamp in Hunter <fc Oates' store on the night of the 8th of May, is able to be out on crutches. On Monday he rode out to his father's, in the country, to remain a few days. j CfHJRCH NOTICES. 1 Baptist?Rev.- J. E. Covington, Pastor.

Notwithstanding the illness of Judge Presslev and the known fact that he cannot preside here at the June term of the Circuit Court, the Clerk issued a venire for the drawing of petit jurors, and under direction of the Jury Commissioner and other proper officers, the list of jurors for the June term was drawn last Tuesday. There was no other course for the Clerk and the Jury Com- 1 missioner to pursue, as the drawing of the jurors at the specified times is made contingent upon ^ no circumstances. The jurors will be regularly J, summoned, and even with the knowledge that r no Court will be held, it is their duty to attend. 1 It is probable, however, that the Court will con- 8 vene with Judge Witherspoon on the bench for the trial of Sessions cases, he haying signified his willingness to do so, and the necessary steps having also been taken to request the Chief Justice to appoint him to preside. It may therefore be concluded that the Circuit Court will be con 1 ? * xr a ~c *u:,. it. veneu on uie luunu iuuiiuu^ ui iui? iiiuiun. The following is a list of jurors drawn for the June term : K. A.

We have received from the author, Beltou i O'Neal Townsend, Esq., Florence, S. C., a copy of "Plantation Lays and other Poems," just published by him. The poems partake of the ? Southern character and contain scenes and illustrations peculiar to the Southern section, which, . according to Joaquin Miller, is the land of poe- \ try. The principal poem in the volume before 1 us is entitled "Wild with all Regret," and opens 1 with the unpoetic realism of a Sheritl's sale, ' weaving in verse the sad tale of one of the Southron's noblemen, during the reconstruction period following immediately upon the close of the , war, in which the noble estate and broad acres of the former master were sold under the for- ; feitureofthe iniquitous tax system thenin vogue | he homestead being bid in by a "bureau agent" vhom he had once spurned from his door. The ourt then set aside a homestead foj" the former andowner, and gave him his overseer's cottage, ?nly a stone's throw from his former mansion. :t tells that the negro militia killed his wife and renzied his daughter, the influence of the Union league on politics, the imprisonment of the igent in the cellar by the now crazed daughter, he firing, of the mansion to destroy the usurper, ind how the members of the League appeared ust in time to frustrate her design, her trial tnd adjudging to be confined in an asylum le lunatico, her spiriting away by friends, the uccessful overthrow by Hampton of the vanlals who so long had held sway, her return, he destruction of the mansion by a negro ncendiary's torch, the stratagem which caused in explosion, which restored the poor girl's nind, and, finally, as usual, a wedding. It s ingeniously told, and is not an overdrawn >icture of those trying times. The other verses ,re of different degrees of merit, yet all show hat the author is a man of decided talent. The mlume is noatlv printed and handsomely bound iyC. A. Calvo, Jr., Columbia, and may be obained from the author on receipt of $1.25. A Word for the Public Schools .? V few newspapers in the State are industri>usly making war on the public school sysem, and we regret to see that these newsrnpers have some following among the peo)le. A large majority of the intelligent >eople of the State are in favor of supportng the public schools. There can De no loubt about this if we are to judge by the iterances of the Representatives in the legislature and of a majority of the newsrnpers. Indeed, we have not the patience o arjjue with those who are opposed to the >ublic schools, as we believe that the oppoition is inspired by a deep seated prejulice that stands in the way as a barrier igainst a progressive civilization.?Edgekid Chronicle.

I)OBSO> . | - | WANTED. 1 000BRANCH minnows' 100 GREEN FRows100 Y0UNG CHICKENS. TURTLES. The fish, frogs and turtles must be fresh from the water. "Well, Old Chap what, in the namo of common sensedo you want with those everlasting green frogs?" "Why, my friend, I wish to eat them. They are very fine." "Just as I expected. You have been croaking so long and so much, of late, that you have become froggy, and I am not at all surprised at your froggy taste. So you can have them all for me. And I have thought you a little fishy for some time, as you have been selling Goods so cheap, and so many of them lately. Well, Old Chap, you ought to have waited a little longer, until we people could get the grass clear of our fields, as you will have all the boj's in the country fishing. frogging and turtle hunting, to get them a little pocket change, as you propose paying cash." "Yes, Sir, I propose giving them a little change in exchange for their frogs, fish, turtles and chickens." "Well, Old Chap is it so that you want the above things? as I thought itone of your advertising dodges." "No, Sir, I am in earnest, and if you doubt it, just bring your minnows, frogs and turtles along this way, and I will relieve you of your burden, if you will only sell them to me as cheaply as I will sell you Goods." "All right, Old Chap ; I will bring you some nice minnows one of these odd days." "Well, my friend, have you heard of the large sales that I am daily making in those perfect fitting shoes of yours?the Oliver and Ziegler's ?'' "Yes, I have heard the ladies speaking about them in the country, and I hear almost daily of those five-cent muslins, nice Dress Goods, and especially about those cheap Cashmeres and Mousselines, and a great deal about that Model Waist Lining, which is becoming so very popular with the ladies ; and those nice trimmingssuch as Silks, Satines, Laces, Velvets r.nd Velveteens; and the beauty of buying of the Old Chap is, you get every thing to match so nicely, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head. Those pretty Shoes set off your feet so nicely, and the pretty Hats and Bonnets make your faces look so lovely; and have your dress made by Mrs. DOBSON, who makes such nice fits, and then your beautiful figure will show off to such a nice advantage, with the pretty Shoes, nice Hat, and nicely-fitting Dress. Mrs. DOBSON turns out those beautiful fits almost daily. She is just crowded with work all the time, because she does such nice work and guaratees fits in every instance. She employs the best Seamstresses, and has a fine Cutter, who gives perfect satisfaction. Mrs. DOBSON'S Millinery and Dress Making Department is very popular, and she has had a large and satisfactory trade, this Spring, in all her departments, and I learn that the Old Chap never has done Snch a Clothing Trade, In all his business career, in any one season, and it still continues. Those beautiful Suits for young men are being ordered out weekly to fill orders lor suits or single uarmenis, iu curruapuuu with those pretty low-quartered Shoes which have been the rage among the young men this season. It seems as though the Old Chap iB selling nearly all the Clothing and Shoes this season; in fact, nearly every person wants to get a chance at the Buggy, the Sewing Machine and the Watch, and especially when it does not cost them anything. The Old Chap has a splendid line of Lap Robes and Table Covers, and all kinds of Fancy Damasks for table use, and Doilies to match, and nice Curtain Lace and Cretonne for lambrequins, to adorn your windows with; and as the warm weather is approaching, and persons are beginning to think of fleeing to the mountains, I would say that the Old Chap has some nice Valises for men and traveling Satchels for the ladies, which he is very anxious to exchange for a few Greenbacks to cheer him up during the warm summer months, as he cannot afford to go off to the watering places and mountains to get some fresh air. Beautiful ParasoN. Mrs. DOBSON has a line of beautiful Parasols?parasols to protect those beautiful faces from the burning ravB of the scorching sun ; and if there is anything a young lady is careful with, it is her comploxion. And, by the way, Mrs. DOBSOX has Bloom of Youth, Magnolia, and all 1-J-J n .1 r? 41? A 1. kiiius ui ruuu ruwacra iui iuu wih^*va*w*i. so, Bracelets, Broaches, Pins, Hair Nets, Combs, Perfumery, Veilings, Crepes, Hamburg Embroidery, Laces, Hoop Skirts, Bustles, Dress Forms, and almost anything else that the ladies may want. In fact, DOBSON'S is a little world within itself, for the accommodation of the ladies and gents, but more especially for the ladi es as the Old Chap himself is quite a friend of the ladies and seems to cater specially for their wants. The Old Chap would say to those that are fond of the weed that he has a nice line of Chewing Tobacco and also Durham Smoking; and for the sportsmen he keeps Powder, Shot, Caps, Gun Locks, Wad Cutters, Gun Wipers, Nipples, Cylinders and Flints; and the Old Ctiap has provided for the hot sun by bringing on a lot of San and Bain Umbrellas, Which he is selling cheap. And lie keeps quite a line of Note, Foolscap, Bill and Legal Cap Paper, Pens, Pencils, Ink, Blank Books and Copy Books; and for the Carpenters he is well supplied with Augers, Auger Bits, Braces, Gimlets, Spoke Shavers, Drawing Knives, Saws, .Squares, Levels, Dividers, Screws, Bolts, Planes, Locks for store doors and dwellings, Strap Hinges, Butts, Pocket Knives, Scissors, Razors, Razor Strops , and for the Ladies I have a line of nice Crockery of all kinds. And the best shirt in York?the Crown and Dobson's Favorite. Call and see them and be covinced. They are reinforced and staved with linen in the back and atsleoves. The best Shirts in York ; and I have a nice line of Gents' Collars of all kinds, and nice Ties.

There is just no mistake that the Old Chap's is the place to buy your goods; there is not so much necessity of telling you so, as most of you buy there, any way. The Old Chap has gotten up a big boom, and it seems like it will never cease, as he sells Goods so cheap, and never fails to give you a chance at the Buggy, Sewing Machine and Watch; and that is better than any body else will do for you. So, every person, just try the Old Chap; and all you boys, bring him a string of minnow fish, a few nice frogs, and a turtle, or, as the boys call them, "Oooters." The Old Chap will buy them every time you bring them, and thank you, too. So, boys, don't let the Old Chap rest! Bring him fish, frogs and cooters until ho can't st; for he is froggy and very fishy just now, and he always pays cash for such things. The Old Chap is very thankful for the large patronage he has received, during the Spring, in his department; and Mrs. DOBSON Is very thankful for such a largo share of the Millinery | and Dressmaking business. She will always treat every person just the best she can in her department; and with these few fishy aud froggy and turtlev remarks, the Old Chap leavos the subject with you, until next week, when ho hopes to give you something more interesting.

We presume the '"fact is known and read of all men uiitiuiurt? uun anvuy? ui* itiunu m mu 1 uja Drug Store, a most complete stock of everything in the Drug line, that is embraced in the local demand. Our wants are carefully looked after every day, and every week brings fresh additions to our stock. The stock is frequently examined and when ever a suspicion attaches that an article is deteriorating or losing a property, it is thrown out and destroyed. We, therefore, are enabled to guarantee the purity and quality of every medicine sold. We have the pleasure with one or two exceptions, of furnishing all the physicians in reach of us with supplies. To those with whom wo have not heretofore had the privilege of dealing, we would say that we would be glad to do so, giving them the same prices, for cash, that can be had in any Southern jobbing market. We still want almost 5,000 glass bottles, pints and quarts, but thev must be as clean as the day they came from the blow-pipe. We would call the attention of ladies and gentlemen also, to Chase's triple extract of natural tiowers. They aro just too exquisitely sweet for anything. Sold in one, two and eight ounce bottles, and small sample bottles. We have just received one gross of Simmons' Liver Regulator in powder. Country Merchants will be supplied at manufacturer's prices.
