I I i/ Rock Hill, December 81.?One #f the boldest robberies that has occurred In this place in many years was perpetrated on Christmas night. J. B. Johnson's drug store was opened, and about $40 in cash and some whisky stolen. Mr. Johnson closed his store at 7.80 o'clock, leaving the lamp burning. In about half an hour one of his clerks had occasion to visit the store and found the lights out and the door open. He at once informed Mr. Johnson, who suspicioned Hy Massey, alias Turk, and Bishop Patton, both colored.. Both Patton and Massey, with Peter Kennedy, were at once arrested and a large portion of the money was found on their persons. These negroes have for years been iloaflng on the streets of our town and had no visible means of support. They weie committed to jail on Wednesday last. On Thursday night last, at 8 o'clock, the alarm of fire was given, and the fire was soon located 0b the residence of Mr. Alexander Von Wittke, on Black street. The Yellow Jacket Fire Company was the first to reach the scene, but the fire had ??

In a few minutes the Rock Hill Steam Fire Company had a stream of water .playing on the fire through 1000 feet of hose. Mr. Von Wittke'8 loss is estimated at 1450 and fully covered by insurance. This was the first opportunity tbe Steam Fire Company had to use their engine at a fire, and the boys are delighted with the working of their pet. Last night a large number attended the ^ Methodist.

M LETTER FROM "UNION COUNTY. Jb Etta Jane, December 29.?Respected ^ Readers: Before this letter reaches you, 1888 will have been consigned to an eternity of the past, and the virgin of 1889 will ' ' have taken its place. As the very first . work of the season, permit me to congratu4 late you upon the renewal of your devotion I to duty, to your God, your country and S* your fellow man. With theseexalted res* olutions constantly in view, you cannot ;r fail to perform your duty to yourselves. J Thus we look forward for 1889, to reward our faithfulness, our homes be made hapj py and our business and country prosperJt.?"8' in" ni"ii I1 iiiLtrn hi ^ it had the pleasure of ir eeting many of my tf old friends and acquaintances at Unity ' I Baptist church, wherejfhe Rev. Mr. Mills, j of the A. R. Presbyterian church, preached an excel lent serm on. E is text was Psalms, ? 92nd and 12th verse: The righteous shall flourish like a palm t 'ee: he shall grow J like a cedar in Leba ion." The sins of i omission and commissi )n formed the core of the speaker's subje :t, and he showed himself fully able to^ al with it. It has been a source of moc i pleasure for me from time to time to n lention the unanimity with which thedlfferent denominations in Western Yorjk go about their church work. The TJn,ion of hearts and sentiment among the respective denominations is so radically different from what it was in the earliest days of my recollection, that I think theyaoe bound to succeed in their good work. 1 Ignorance and selfishness have given way to light and generc Bity. On a former occasion I mentioned the fact that the Baptist denomination Jat Unity and the Methodist at Mount Vernon, had each tendered the use of their splendid church edifices to their brethrei i of other Christian denominations to worship in until they shall have built for themselves. One among the most healthful signs of Christian vitality it has ever been my pleasure to note, was to see theleading members of I the Baptist church oceupy the front pew and lead the music forthe A. R. Presbyterian denomination. Mr. John M. Cobb died near Hickory Grove on the 14th instant. The Sunday-school celebration at Abingdon Creek church on Christmas day was a grand success. Between 200 and 300 peopie took part in the exercises. ?lt has been my pleasure during the I Christmas holidays, to enjoy seyeral din*| ners given by my lady friends. In their 1 efTorts to make good eating take the place x of good drinking, many of them have I been quite successful. May this always be the case.

Christmas has come and gone, and the , usually gay holiday was a dull one here. Our people are beginning to move around i and make arrangements for the approach- < ing qew ,-year. Several changes will be 1 made Tn this section. Mr.LSam M. Mc- j and Mr. \v. B. Goodwill occupy his house and store here. Mrs. Ward and the children will move to Sharon, on the Three C's Railroad, this week. So my next letter will be from that place. A side track has been pub down at Sharon, and I suppose a depot building will soon be erected. The young people will enjoy the pleasures of a Christinas tree at Sharon to-day. ' I am glad to note that our people, and many In other sections, have been very liberal in assisting our neighbor, Mr. R. B. Black, whose dwelling house was burned two weeks ago. It is the intention of 1 his neighbors to rebuild his house and 1 assist him otherwise. We had a sermon yesterday from the i venerable Mr. Reid, of Reidsvilie, who is 1 here on a visit to bis daughter, Mrs. R. P. Smith.

I THE WHISKY QUESTION. Editor of the Enquirer : Several years have passed since the bar rooms have been closed in Yorkville, yet still theory : comes up: "Save our boys from drunken* . ness." Now I think the reason that they are not saved is because we have been -looking to the law, and not to the gospel to save them. Strong drink is the devil's right arm, and he cannot be kept out except by "prayer and fasting," (abstinence). The men's prayer-meeting Is a step in the right direction ; but after all, the great hope is in the family training?gospel training. Let every father determine that he will not use it himself or have it used in his family, knowingly, except in cases of dire necessity. 1 am afraid many use it thinking they are too old to give it up; that they have been accustomed to it too long. ' "They know how to use it moderately," they say; but that will never save their i boys. If they cannot deny themselves } for their sakes, how can they expect oth- < era to refqpfftora making money by-the 1 sale of H, %spedally when they have no \ These theaghts have been suggested to ] my mind w The late stir on the qftee&on ' of temportiicn;- t think the legislaftfenthat is nemedh is; that a. law .be passed making gtftng drunk a crimliral offence, : punishable by confinement injail, or some place provided, afld not by fine, and the length of time to be according to the fre- ^ quency of the offence, and to be prosecuted by the solicitor as in other criminal I offences.

If you intend to paint this year bo very careful that you give the matter a thorough inI .xestigation before going too far. We are selling ICCRsTMN'-S-v jmre WHITE LEAD. ^ This is the most beautiful and at the same time 1 the most valuable naint. known. paints have -white lead for a foundation, as it, has the preserving and covering property. The manufacturers of these prepared paints persistently claim that their goods are "as good 'as white lead." The truth of the matter is that a prepared, or "doctored" paint is only really i ' valuable in proportion to the amount of WHITE LEAD IT CONTAINS. Now Eckstein's goods are known to be pure. They are used by the United States Government for < all purposes for which it uses paint, having % * stood tho test over a dozen competitors ap >. . 1 plied to buoys in, salt water. Eckstein's White Lead is also used by the Pullman Car Company to the exclusion of all others. It stands at the head wherever it is known.
