Berry, a section master on th< Chester and Lenoir railroad, has recently , patented a safety lock signal to be usee while repairing track. This invention en ters a field never before occupied by in ventors, and it promises well. At present when a portion of the track is taken up one man is sent each way with a red flag and is required, if the rules be strictly obeyed, to stay with his signal and no leave it stuck in the ground perhaps to b< blown down or removed by some raischie maker. The present plan is hence expen sive,costing too men's labor; or, on th< other hand dangerous, if the signal is lei as indicated above. Mr. Berry's inventior obviates both these difficulties. All the section master has to do is to send a mar each way with the signals, which locb firmly to the base of the rail. The hand! then can return and go to work. The targets are something like those used ai switches, stands at one side, out of the reach of a passing train, and is red on one side, white on the other, thus indicatinj clearly which way the danger is. A pateni has been granted on the invention, whicl has merit enough, so those believe wh< are backing Mr. Berry in pushing the matter, to work its way into extensive favor.

Race Troubles.?A row betweer whites and blacks at Nashville, Tenn., or Christmas afternoon, in which pistols anc knives were freely used, resulted in tw( white men and one negro being fatal ly injured. For several hours alter thi occurrence fears were entertained of a se rious collision, but quiet was finally re stored. There was a serious row in August! Christmas day, two policemen who at tempted to arrest a drunken negro beinf set upon by a mob and fearfully beaten it was reported that the officers were kill ed and white men armed themselves an< attempted to lynch five of the ring leader of the mob who had been arrested am taken to an engine house for safety.

Threats wer also made of burning the towu, as was don< in 1878, and there was much excitemen until the mob was dispersed. An attempt to arrest a drunken negro a Jessup, Ga., Christmas afternoon, precipi tateda riot which resulted in the killinj of nine men and wounding of eight or ter others. Seven of the killed are negroes Two white men were also wounded. Th< blacks retreated to a dense swamp on thi outskirts of town, and a hundred whiti men quickly surrounded it as a skirmisl line. It is claimed by the negroes tha several of them were shot and killed afte they retreated to the swamp. The situa tion at Jessup still looks threatening, ant two militia companies are guarding th town. 1 A Birmingham, Ala., dispatch of Fr i day says: Conductor Duboise, of the Cc 3i umbus and Western railroad, yesterds - attempted to eject from his train a drunl - en negro who refused to pay his fare.

There was a meeting of superintend euts of graded schools in this State las i Friday, at the office of Superintendec ' D. B.

DOBSON'S RACKET Is well Equipped with all the latest Implements of War, with its experienced Generals, Captains , and High Privates. Ready for Battle against High Credit , Prices. I m LOOK OUT ! THE Old Year 1889 is gone and the New Year now dawns upon us, and DOBSON'S RACKET still lives and is doing well. A few short months ago DOBSON'S RACKET SIGN, in large red letters, was seen stretched across the pavement in front of its place of business, and in a few short weeks the announcement was made that DOBSON'S RACKET was fast , approaching the top rung of the ladder, and in a few short weeks more it was announced that DOBSON'S RACKET had perched upon the top rung and stepped over, and was leading 1 all its nice competitors in LARGE SALES AND LOW PRICES, and from that day to this it has led all its competitors without one dissenting voice. It is an established fact that DOBSON'S RACKET, in the past six months, has sold more goods than any house in Yorkville, and why ? Because T. M. DOBSON, the manager, has had twenty years' experience in THE DRY GOODS BUSINESS, And knows how and where to buy goods cheap, and besides, DOBSON'S RACKET has but one price, and every person gets goods there at the same price. That is why so many like to trade at DOBSON'S RACKET. Because they know that they will all get goods at the same price ; no pets to sell goods to lower than others ; no . pets to charge goods to and refuse others; all pay cash at lowest possible prices; no old goods to shove off on you ; nothing but new goods at lowest prices. And now, with all these facts before you, is it any wonder that DOBSON'S RACKET sells more goods. HARDWARE. And now for 1890, DOBSON'S RACKET proposes to sell more goods than ever, because it-will keep a much larger stock, adding new lines almost every week. The last added was HARDWARE, which will be sold at RACKET ? rices?lower than ever before in this market. OBSON'S New York buyer will have larger i limit, and can buy in larger quantities ana get goods cheaper, and DOBSON'S RACKET al1 ways divides with its customers, puts on its sharp 25 per cent, and lets it go, no matter who it hurts. DOBSON'S RACKET has downed ' them all in large sales for 1889, and with its large increase in stock and experience in selling at RACKET PRICES, it proposes to sell t more goods in 1890, by far, than it did in 1889. Watch my advertisements and you will always see what I am doing. I never say one thing , and do another. When you see an article ad' vertised at a certain price, come and call for it. Set the price down in your memorandum book, ask the price and turn to your book and see if it does not correspond. All DOBSON'S RACKET asks is that you come and let it price you its goods, and then if it does not sell you it is its fault. HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR. DOBSON'S RACKET wishes everybody a happy and prosperous New Year, and hopes that it may sell every person some goods during the year, no matter how small. It will take from a cent up and be thankfui Do not forget, when you send for anything, to send the money, and if the goods do not suit, we will return the money when the goods are returned. DOBSON'S RACKET sells strictly for cash, keeps no books and positively will not charge anything to anybody. When goods are sent out and not returned, or the money, the same day, a messenger will appear at your house the next morning for the goods or the money. Mrs. T. M. DOBSON, Proprietress.
