LETTER FROM CHESTER. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Chester, November 12.?The Chester Musical association gave another one of their popuular concerts at the court house on Thursuay night. The attendance was good, and a nice little addition to the cemetery improvement fund was made from the receipts of the evening. A special feature of this concert was the large number of children participating, adding no little to the attractiveness of the programme. The young folks who took part were Missas Leila Lathan, Maggie Simrill, Carrie Summey, Carrie Youngblood, Jordan McFadden, Georgie Meltou, Helon Marshall, Dell Hood, and Lucille Heyman. Among the elders who assisted in the different pieces, were Messrs. J. M. Brawley, J. K. Marshall, W. T. Kobison, J. L. Simmons, C. H. Brennecke, James McLarnon, Rev. J. S. Moffatt, Mrs. A. G. Brice, Mrs. J. S. Moff&tt, Mrs. R. W. Sanders, and Mrs. J. J. Stringfellow. The Chester Cornet band was also mustered into service, and did good work blowing up the crowd before the regular performance began. Twelve or lifteen carloads of cattle and horses went down from here Thursday and Friday nights to be exhibited at the Columbia Fair. The principal exhibitors from this county will be Messrs. R. A. Love, S. M. Wylie, J. O. Darby, T.N. Berry, Col. E. T. Atkinson, John A. Graham,'I. N. Cross and John S. Withers. The county field crop exhibit goes down under charge of Col. Atkinson, and is a good display. Speakingon the subject of fairs, an important meeting of the stockholders of the Chester Fair association was held here on the 4th instant, to canvass the situation and devise some plan for the improyement of the condition of the association. After a full and free discussion, committees were appointed to devise plans, to be submitted at a future meeting of the association, looking to the liquidation of the small debt which now handicaps the management of the institution. The debt is not a largo one, and with it removed, it is thought that the association will take on a new lease of life and energy, while Chester's increased railroad connections and facilities promise better attendance hereafter than ever before. Mr. C. D. Langhorn, a contractor on the line of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern railroad, brought on a force of white laborers recently, mostly Italians. Rev. G. W. Gardner has recently resigned the pastorate of Harmony Baptist church to accept a call from a church in Oxford, Mississippi. A slight wreck occurred at McConnellsville, on the Chester and Lenoir railroad, last Wednesday, delaying the train for several hours. Mr. Lawrence Duffy died at Smith's Turnout on the 30th of October, aged 53 years. Mr. E. C. Stahn has recently purchased at Washington, D.

The Georgia, Carolina and Northern railroad began a new passenger schedule from here to Monroe yesterday, the afternoon train now leaving Chester at 1:50 instead of 4 o'clock. The town council is doing a good work in removing the big rocks from the street near the Presbyterian parsonage. Policeman W. H. Neal had a lively experience the other day with Chris Coleman, colored, who was trying to have things his own way about the depot. Coleman had been drinking and disorderly for some time, when the policeman interfered and a struggle followed. After using his club pretty freely, and 3till finding that he was about to be overpowered, Policeman Neal drew his pistol and attempted to perforate his assailant's skull, but fortunately the ball merely grazed the head or the negro, who apparently realized the situation and came to his senses. He is now lying up for repairs on account of the damage done to his head by the officer's billy, Mr. Marlboro Pegues, who has been seriously ill at Nail's hotel, with typhoid fever for six weeks, is much bettor, and will leave soon to recuperate his strength at bis sister's home, near Cheraw. The remains of Miss Lula Young, eldest daughter of Mr. John L. Young, of Fort Lawn, were brought here yesterday afternoon from Eastover and interred in Evergreen iemetery. Miss Young had been visiting friends at Eastover and was taken seriously ill there, her illness ending fatally on Saturday night before any of her family could reach her bedside. This death seems tho sadder when it is remembered that another daughter of Mr. Young died near Cornwall, a year or two ago while visiting friends in that neighborhood. LETTER PROM BLACKSTOCK. Correspondence of tlie Yorkville Enquirer. Blackstock, November 11.?A few of our citizens took advantage of the very cheap rates, and visited Charleston during her gala week. Among these were Dr. and Mrs. L. S. Douglas, and Messrs. T. H. Spence and K. J. Mackorell. Mr. J. C. Mackorell has just returned from a very pleasant visit to Atlanta, where ho has a married daughter. Mr. Thomas Walker, who recently came to our town from York county, has purchased a building lot from Mr. J. E. Craig, and will soon commence the erection of a neat fourroom cottage on it. Mr. Robert Walker of this place took his many friends quite by surprise 011 last Thursday, when he was united in the bonds of holy wedlock to Miss Maggie Keenan, of Chester. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. G. Neville at the house of Mr. Tom Walker, where the young lady uad been visiting, and was witnessed by only one or two outside of the family. The happy couple took the afternoon train for Chester, whither they went to visit the parents of the fair young bride, who had, up to this time, been "kept in tho dark" as to the movements of the young folks. Mr. Walker is one of our most popular young men, and many are the good wishes that attend him and his wife as they enter upon the voyage of matrimony. Rev. Mr. Duncan filled his last appointment for this conference year at the Methodist church here, on the afternoon of the first Sunday in this month. His earnest, able preaching and his genial, friendly bearing, havo made many friends for him around Blackstock, who will dislike very much to give him up should Conference decide to appoint him to some other field of work. A deep gloom has been cast over our community by the death of one of our most prominent citizens, Mr. J. E. Johnston, which took place at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Simpson, last Thursday morning. For a number of years past the name of J. E. Johnston has been so closely associated with toe Dusiness interests 01 JuiacKstocx, mat his death now calls for more than a mer' passing notice from your correspondent. He was not much past the prime of life, being about fifty seven years olu, when he was attacked by a very severe case of erysipelas, which, together with some complication of heart and lung trouble, caused his death after a painful illness of about ten days. Mr. Johnston passed the early years of his life on the farm where he was born, about tive miles from this place. At the beginning of the late war he enlisted for service, and during the four long years that followed, his iron nerye and dauntless courage made for him a record that even the grand old 'Sixth regiment" might well be proud of. He was severely wounded in Virginia, being shot with a rille ball clear through the body. A few years after the war closed Mr. Johnston moved fc Blaekstock and began merchandising with a very small capital. His sound judgment and quick business capacity soon contributed to make him successful in the mercantile line, and his business kept growing until it came to be recognized as the leading mercantile establishment of our town. He was never married, and his property all goes to his two widowed sisters. " Mr. Johnston was not a man to make friends readily, but when once he became a friend to any one, the true worth and loyalty of his nature displayed themselves in such a way as to attach his friends very closely to him. Under a certain brusqueness of manner he concealed the workings of a kiud, warm heart, and none of those who watched around his bedside during his last illness can ever forget his tender care and consideration for the feelings and qomfortoi me menus ana jovea ones wuo were ministering to his wants. All was done for him that medical skill or careful nursing could accomplish, but the hand of Death could not be stayed, and he breathed his last quietly and calmly about seven o'clock on the morning of the 7th" instant. A large number of relatives and friends fol. lowed his remains; to Old Catholic church, where the funeral services were conducted by Kev. W. O. Neville, at one o'clock on Friday. Loving hearts dropped silent tears over his bier, and loving hands laid him gently away in his last resting place. Blackstock is only beginning to realize how sadly he will be missed. LETTER FROM UNION COUNTY. Correspondence of the Yorlcvillc Enquirer. Etta Jank, November 11.?The continuously favorable weather for farm work is encouraging to planters. Much of the cotton that was considered ruined by the frost a month ago will be gathered in comparatively good condition, in case the weather continues dry. It is generally admitted that the cotton crop will, at best, fall far bolow the estimates made as late as .September last. Mr. A. W. Lotspeicli, of Sunnyside, has aireadv gathered from a one-horse farm of 1!? acres, fourteen bales cotton. This crop was planted in good time and order and never lost a moment for want of work. He ploughed it six times. Mr. Lotspeich is a Tennesscean by birth and education, and has only had a few years' experience in cotton raising in this country. His systematic method of farming, with fair prices for the staple, will, one year with another, prove remunerative. The congregation at Salem was somewhat disappointed yostorday by the failure of Rev. J. W. Qnerv to be thero. His unexplained absence was "a source of nnxiety to the waiting congregation which ho has so faithfully served for the last two years. However, the "meeting was not to be a failure. J. L. Strain, as master of ceremonies,read the 118th Psalm and was joined by 0. C. Roberts, J. B. T. Scott, C. W. Whisonant and A. A. Lee, who took part in a prayer meeting, during which we had some good talks and the congregation was highly pleased with the exercises. A collection "was then taken up for foreign missions, which amounted to 84.02. One of the healthful signs of the times, the futuro hope of the country, is the zeal with which the young men and young women, boys and girls, and eveu little children, after doing their full duty in the Sunday-school, go into the work of evangelizing the world. The newly married couples, Mr. and Mrs. Willie Smith, and Mr. and Mrs. George B. Estes, received the congratulations of their many friends at Salem yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Hamlet Crocker, of the Timber Ridge section of this county, lost their child last week under painful circumstances. It died in its mother's arms while she was asleep. It had been troubled with croup and it is supposed that a violent attack came upon it at that unguarded moment with a fatal result. I have given this statement as I beard it. Mr. H. F. Horton expects soon to canvass this neighborhood for subscribers to The Yorkville Enquirer. That's right. Go it "Hemel," we will do all we can for you. The Enquirer ought to be a welcome visitor in every household. siOMAy THE GAFFNEY'CADETS!

In the early part of last year I had a violent attack of rheumatism, from which I was confined to my bed for over three months, and at times was unable to turn myself in bed, or even raise the cover.
