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.

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

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

Complete and Permanent.
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. A nurse had to be in
constant attendance day and night. I was so
feeble Ilia* what little nourishment I took had
to be given me with a spoon. I was iu constant
agony, and sleep was entirely out of the question
except when I was under the influence of
opiates.
After calling in the best local physicians, and
trying all other medicines without receiving
any benefit, I was induced by friends to try
Swift's Specific (S. S. Sj. 1 discontinued all
other medicines, and took a course of S. S. S.?
thirteen small bottles?which effected a complete
and permanent cure. L. C. Bassktt,

A CARD OF THANKS.
TWO weeks ago wo published a short advertisement
in these columns calling on our
customers to call immediately and got receipts
for their accounts. It was not a few that
called and equalized their indebtedness to us
through tho medium of United States bank
notes, and right here we tako this occasion to
return our most heartfelt thanks to those of
our customers who have so promptly answered
this important request. We know of nothing
that gives us moro pleasure than to extend
all tho courtesies and accommodation in our
powor to such customers, and we are always
glad to meet them on half way grounds.
There are Some Who Haven't
Paid a cent, however, and to these we would
say that they must come and get in the list of
the above, for we have sold our goods at very
close prices, with the distinct understanding
that thay should be promptly paid for when
due. They are now due, and now is the time
to settle.
We have sent out recently many statements
of accounts in order that our .patrons may
know exactly liow they stand with us. Wo
hope they will expedite matters and receive
the attention that they should and prevent
more stringent moasures. We need monoy
and must have it.
As this is the season when monoy should be
plentiful and 110 man should require indulgence,
it is our purpose to commence our
GREAT BARGAIN SALE IN CLOTHING,
DRESS GOODS AND MILLINERY. We
simply mean to sell these goods if customers
come in our storo to examine them. Wo have
been loading this territory in FINE CLOTHING
for years, and with the magnificent stock
that we now have, we are bound to "git there."
Our Clothing is of the finest quality, cut in the '
latest style, and will be sold for CASH without
regard to former prices, cost or profit. All we

CREDIT CUSTOM ERS, as we propose to offer
thorn all the accommodations that they may
require, and are always glad to do it.
HER MAJESTY'S CORSETS.
We are now handling Her Majesty's Corsets.
They aro made of elegant material, on scientific
principles, and aro shapely, healthful and handsome.
Call and see them.
LADIES' CLOAKS.
It is with infinite pleasure that we doff our
hat and make our bow to our lady friends and
make the announcement that our large stock
of LADIES' CLOAKS AND WRAPS are in
our store and are on exhibition, and we yerily
believe that it is the loveliest exhibit of the
kind ever seen in tho State outside of Charleston,
and they fit most beautifully. They are
made from the latest "fashion plates," of the
very best material, and will make any woman
as light-hearted as a bird in the Spring time.
Oh ! they are daisies ; tbey are regular mashers
and don't you forget it.
AT FULL BLAST.
Our Dress-making Department has been running
all the season at full blast, and many are
the exquisite wedding outfits that have left
our work rooms since the opening of the season.
We employ a large number of ladies and
can usually fill orders 011 short notice. Our
work is always of tho best quality and It is
seldom indeed that our customers are annoyed
with misfits.
FINE DRESS GOODS.
Our stock of all kinds of Dress Goods are

stock, or in a well regulated DRY

ELEGANT MILLINERY.
Our stock of Millinery, Kid Gloves, Corsets
and other fancy articles are just a wonder to
behold. Our goods are all first class, and we
