Chester, March 31.?Farmers are complaining of the backwardness of their agricultural operations. The weather has been such as to prevent them from making ne cessary preparations for the next crop. They have aot been able as yet to do much ploughing. Moreover, they are in a depressed state of mind, in consequence of the unfavorable condition of the oats and wheat crops. Basing my opinion upon the reports of farmers, the oats crop is unsatisfactory and gives promise of a very poor yield.. The failure of this crop, attended with the present scarcity of corn, would be a great blow to the farming interests. Moreover, the wheat crop is unpromising. Like the oats, it ha3 suffered from the effects of the extremely unfavorable weather of this winter. Two children of Moses Hill, colored, of Rossville, were so badly burnt a few days ago that they died in a short time. This terrible misfortune was due to the carelessness of the parents in leaving the children alone at home, while they were absent at their work. On their return they found the children dead in the yard, having, it is presumed, taken fire in the house and then in their fright ran out of doors. It seems that the law should throw such protection around the lives of colored children as will shield them from the cruel treatment of careless parents. % Mr. J. 3. Withers, the overseer of one of our public roads, summoned among others Edmund Johnson, colored, to appear on a certain day, and work the roads. His reply in substance was that he did not work the roads; that his condition in life was such that the law did not require this service of him. He was informed that he must work, or be reported. He was arrested and brought betore Trial Justice Lackey, who imposed upon him the penalty for not working the roads. When asked why he did not nnrfrvvm fKio nnhliA Hnfir Vto ranliarl fhof ugiuuui vino uuunu uutj , nu Atpiivv* vutwt "he was the King of South Carolina," and as such could not engage in such menial employment. He was believed to be feigning insanity, or if insane it was of that emotional character that is used so successfully ?. by lawyers as a plea for the acquittal of clients with blood on their hands. Two thousand one hundred and thirtyseven bales of cotton were shipped from this place during the month of February. Thirty-six thousand eight hundred and seventy-nine bales of cotton were shipped from this place from the 1st of last September to the beginning of the present month. During the same time the preceding season 27,119 bales were shipped. These figures show the importance of Chester as a cotton market. There were three deaths in our town on last Sunday. Mr. J. C. McCammon, Mrs. M. V. Capp's mother, and one of Mr. Israel Hood's children. Mr. McCammon came here from Texas two or three years ago. The friends of the afflicted deeply sympathize with them in their unspeakably heavy loss. Mrs. E. J. Hinton lies in an extremely critical condition. Her" physician, Dr. D. Lyle, regards her case as hopeless. Mr. Robert Wylie, Mr. Ernest Walker, and Mr. Lucian Gaston, of our town and county, graduated recently at the Medical University of New York. Mr. Wylie received the first honor of his class, and for his high standard of scholarship obtained the cash prize of $250. He was also appointed to a position in Belvue Hospital. Mr. Walker was honored with a similar position. Mr. Gaston, I hear, will practice his profession at this place. His friends predict for him a successful and honorable ca, reer.

Fine staple, large ills, easily picked. The only real improved seed. John W. Fairey, Proprietor of the Orangeburg Hotel, Orangeburg, S.

Peterkin's bale weighed 520 pounds. Ozier's bale weighed 404 pounds. Net gain of lint 116 pounds on one acre, and says he sold his Ozier seed to the oil man. Capt. O. A. Wylie, Richburg, S. C., writes: "The Peterkin Cotton Seed is the only real improved seed I have ever had, and where land will only bring 600 pounds seed cotton per acre, Peterkin Cotton Seed will pay live dollars over other varieties. This seed is so far in advance of other varieties that people won't believe me. Pardon me for saying thatjny veracity has never been doubted until I have made comparative statements between Peterkin and other varieties of cotton.

ROBSON will display the latest fashions of the day in Millinery, and the Old Chap and his associates will try and not get left in DRY GOODS. As we have always stood front in the openings, we hope to retain that position. We know we have the goods to enable ns to remain there if we can get them displayed in such a manner as to show up their beauties. Every person is invited to come and see what we have on exhibition. Every person will be treat etl kindly, and all the attention possime given 10 show what we have, and, at the same time, make it pleasant for them while they stay. All the latest styles of HATS and BONNETS for Ladies, Misses and Children, that are out, will be shown, and PATTERN HATS from ?8.00 to 32AOO; and our own getting up shall not be far behind the Paris Patterns. And as Miss KEEN is still at the head of the Trimming Department, you may expect something nice of her own get up, as her good taste and nice work always speak for themselves. Miss CLARK, with her usual politeness, will be happy to show you around ana give you all the attention possible to make your stay pleasant. Mrs. DOBSON will be on hand to give you all the information in regard to styles of HATS, BONNETS AND DRESSES, And to inform you of what is worn and how to cut and what to'trim with, as she has seen and is posted in MILLINERY, DRESS GOODS and TRIMMINGS. You can see all the latest things and can be informed what is worn and how to make and trim. So your eyes can feastand your mind get stored with all the latest. So you can combine pleasure with a little information, and we hope tnat not one will leave with the remark that they were sorry they went; but, on the contrary, hope all may be pleased and real glad that they called in at Mrs. DOBSON'S Emporium of Fas*hion ; and, as you pass in and out, our polite young men, Messrs. COLCOCK and ALLiSON, will try to make it so attractive and pleasant that you cannot leave without looking at some of their pretty and cheap things that you cannot help seeing and admiring, and our polite office man, Mr. STRAUSS, will lend any assistance in giving information in regard to prices and anything pertaining to office matters generally, and will try to add his full share in making you say: "Ain't I OIa?t I Come," And the OLD CHAP will try to dress up in 18 year old looks, and see if see if he cannot, as usual, smile a little now and then, ana try to make it specially pleasant for the little Misses, and see that they see all that is to be seen, and he specially wants all of them to come and spend a little of their precious time with him and see all of Mrs. DOBSON'S Beauties of Fashion. We hope the ladies of the country will come and bring their little Misses to see the great Show of Fashion. It will pay them well to do so, as such a treat does not happen often, and many of you never saw such a display of beauties as will be presented on that day for your inspection, and in coming here on private days you cannot possibly see the one-tenth part as much as you could on either one of the days of our openings. So try and persuade the old gentleman to hitch up the carriage and bring you all in to see. You nave not long to stay here at best, and this life is too precious to live out and not see what is to be seen, it will not cost you anything but your time, as you need not buy anything if you do not want to. We will bo just as glad to see you and you shall have our best attention while here. It will not take you long, for a large number of you need not lose more than a half a day in looking round in the Old Chap's store. It may be worth more than a half a year's stay at home. So we hope the country will turn out in full force that day and see for once all the latest styles that are out. HAVE A BIG FEAST FOR THE EYES. We do not expect to sell anything scarcely on these days, as we cannot wait on many. Most of our time will be occupied in making it pleasant for all of you to see what we have. Now, remember if you do not see what is to be seen, it is not our fault, as we will spend many hours in hard work for you to see, and do it cheerfully, for our mutual benefit of course. Now, the Old Chap's sermon of invitation is about ended and hope none will consider themselves slighted. Friends and foes are all cordially invited and shall have the same attention. So every one come and see the Old Chap smile and Mrs. Dobson look happv. Thus endeth the first lesson. The 2nd we will give on the 1st and 2nd of April next. T. M.
