ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS. The Situation la Seriouo-The Victim of the Uilaaiai Piat?l Dead?Drug Store Closed up fey the Sheriff-Stockholders of the Standard?Other Mutters. Correspondence of The YorkvlUe Enquirer. Rock Hill, March 9.?The bad weather is becoming a serious matter with the farmers, and unless we can have some March winds within the next few days to dry the lauds, .there is, to say the least, a bad outlook for planting. Alex. Biggers, the victim of the unloaded pistol, on Mr. John Ratterree's place a few days ago, died last Friday. An inquest was held by Trial Justice Waters and the jury returned a verdict of accidental homicide. The measles in this section are not so bad as they have been and the number of cases is decreasing. Sheriff Crawford, through his deputy, Maior T. C. Beckham, has uttached the slock of drugs of W. H. Roumillat for the benefit of creditors. Mr. James A. Peterkin had an exhibition on Main street, last Saturday, of one of the reapers he proposes to manufacture at this place. All who saw the machine pronounce themselves as highly pleased with it. The stockholders of the Standard mills held their annual meeting on Tuesday evening of last week. The old board of directors was re-elected, and the directors re-elected Mr. John R. Londo^, president, and Mr. W. M. Frew, secretary and treasurer. The report Of the president shows a prosperous condition, and he was accorded a vote of thanks for his able management. The I. O. G. T. at this place is in a flourishing condition. The order now has more than a hundred members and more are being added at each meeting. Rev. J. H. Thomwell will repeat the memorial sermon delivered by him at Ebenezer church, last Sunday, on the life of Rev. James 8. White, in the First Presbyterian church at this place, next Sunday, Mr. Ed. Robinson has invented a new method of adjusting steel rails to railroad tracks. Railroad men pronounce it a success. Mr. Robinson has applied for a patent. Electric lights were placed in the Episcopal chpMh to-day. hal. .' J LETTER PROM SHARON. ' Some Hard Questions to Answer?Kan Away With the Wagon?Re-committed to JailImprovements on the Three C's?Other Matters. Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. 3hakon, March 9.-?Did you ever see such weather? When do you think it will clear off? Do you reckon we will ever get to plow any more ? Have you got your guano hauled yet f These and many other like ex pressions are to be heard on all sides now. The outlook is certainly very gloomy at present, but in my opinion, in two months from now, we will hardly know it rained at all. Under the circumstances I think the best course to pursue will be to cultivate less ground and lay on more manure. The loads are in such condition that the farmers are storing their fertilizers and are waiting for dry weather before hauling them home. Mr. John M. Russell had a narrow escape from what might have been a serious injury last Friday afternoon. He was eugaged in ? hauling guano from a car to a warehouse, and the mules suddenly becoming frightened at a dog, ran away. Mr. Russell was thrown out of the wagon at the start and fortunate^ escaped without injury. The mules ran on down the road at full speed as far as Woodlawn church, where the wagon became hooked to a tree. The wagon was considerably smashed, but beyond that there was no serious damage. Will Berry, alias Anderson, who is supposed to know something about the Plexico burglary, and who was let out of jail on bond, was re-committed last week. It is renorted here that there is to be a big improvment in the Three C's railroad soon. The rolling stock is to be supplemented with palace cars and sleepers, and the working force is to be increased to such an extent as will *admit of the roadbed's being put in first-class condition at once. Mr. R. R. Plexico has bought the house and lot recently vacated by his brother, Joseph 'M. Plexico. - N Dr. Ross will preach at Edgmoor next Sabbath. Communion services will be held in the Presbyterian church at this place next Sunday by Rev. C. Fraser. Preaching will be commenced on Saturday. J. / ? ' * . ? LETTER FROM UNION COUNTY. Suuday-school Convention?Dire Deatructlon of the Dogs?Circuit Court?No Need to Wuzrj About Hickory Grove?Other News Matters. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Etta Jane, March 9.?Our North Pacolet Sunday-school convention will meet with Mesopotamia M. E. church on the fifth Sabbath of this month, 29th instant. Considerable ado has been made about a deficiency in the free school funds for this county, amounting to about $1,400. Treasurer Scott oomes out in a card in last week's Times and * requests the public to withhold their verdict until the matter is definitely known. "All's well that ends well." The past week has been unprecedentedly wet. Rain has been falling continuously for thirty-six hours, and still continues. The rivers and creeks are high and still rising. Farm work is entirely suspended, the roads impassable, and everybody in low spirits. But few oats have been sown, and some complaint is made that those sown late in January or early in February are dead?"soured in the sprout." A peculiar and fatal malady seems to be prevailing among the dogs of this community?especially the young ones. They swell at the throat and different parts of the body, refuse to eat, and apparently die from pure inanition. "Dr." Sam Lee has been treating some of them with castor oil, but to no good effect. There are no hydrophobia symptoms exhibited with the disease, and the generally accepted idea is that they are "pizened." The court is still in session at Union. Hon. I. D. Witherspoon is the judge. Our people speak well of him as a discreet, impartial and upright officer and gentleman. His rulings are in strict conformity with law and justice. The presentment of the grand jury was especially gratifying to our tax-payers-*? that there is a probability of getting out of debt by the time another tax is collected. The judge and grand jury are both "hard down" on the pernicious practice of carrying concealed weapons. This class of offenders w-UNget but cold comfort from him. Rev. G. S. Robinson will preach at Salem next Sabbath, 15th instant, at 11.30 a. m. No definite arrangements have as yet been made by our Alliance farmers about their guano. Some have concluded to use none ; ' others will increase the amount beyond that of former years. Some have made their purchases, but are unable to haul it until the roads dry off somewhat. The people sf this township (Gowdeysville) have (or will) request the county commissioners to reftise the extension of the time as well as the issuing of the township bonds to the railroad company to finish up its work along this part of the line. They think they have been euchred enough already. Issuing the bonds and extending the time will necessarily drag them into court to show that the building of the road is not in strict conformity to the expressed will of the people at the ballot box. Taking everything into consideration, we see no prospect of completing the road or settling this difficulty in the near future. Some people pretend that they can't see where our Hickory Grove friends are to get the money to start a fuctory in their town. I do. They have already got it, and they have something still better?pluck and energy ! So go ahead, gentlemen. sioma. HICKORY HROVK NOTES. The Aged Father of Mr. W. Krown Wylie Lying at the Point of Death?Personal Paragraphs. Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. Hickory Grove, March 10.?Mrs. M. E. Hoffman of Yorkville, is visiting relatives near this place. Misses Biggerstaff and Trout of Forest City, X. C., are visiting friends and relatives here. The former is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Martin, and the latter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Wylie. Mr. T. Q. Odum has returned from a visit to Marlborough county. His cousin, Mr. Ed. Odom, returned with him. Mr. D. M. Castles moved into his new house last Friday. Mr. John L. Wylie, father of Mr. W. Brown Wylie, is lying at the point of death. Mr. Wylie has been a paralytic for the past eight years, and was stricken down on last Saturday, since which time he has been unable to move or take any nourishment. His death is expected hourly. Mr. Wylie is one of the most esteemed as well a=? one of the oldest citizens of the community. He was born on the 8th of June, 1808. bessel. BLACKSBURG BUDGET. Won't Speak of To-morrow' Weather?Hartford Capitalists In Town?An Alliance Porker?Receiver Chamberlain Went up the Road Yesterday?Other Matters. Correspondence of The YorkviUe Enquirer. Blacksburg, March 10?Our share of the rain came at last, and for nearly three days and nights (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) there was a steady pour. Of course the principal streams are over the lowlands, but there is not much damage apprehended. The sun showed his welcome face yesterday and continues to-day to shed his warm, cheerfhl beams, but I am afraid to speak for to-morrow, from our recent experience, and especially as Mr. Hicks, who has gained for himself such renown as a weather prophet, and who pictures himself as dwelling among the stars and holding communion with the planets by means of an electric current, gives a gloomy prediction for this month, and we are not to expect any real good gardening or planting weather until the first of April. Messrs. A. B. Crosby and W. A. Jackins are home on a brief visit from railroad work in Georgia. Maj. J. G. Rathburne of Hartford, Conn., accompanied by two other capitalists from the same city, Messrs. Blanchard and Philbrick, arrived here last week and are the | guests of Maj. Jones. Miy. Rathburne has j already contributed to the growth and prosperity of our town, being largely interested in the new and elegant hotel, Cherokee Inn, and the BlacksbuVg Land and Improvement company, and to our citizens his face is becoming familiar and his visits always welcome. Mr. Albert Bettis, a prominent member of the Holly Grove sub-Alliance, recently killed a pig seven months and ten days old that weighed 214 pounds net, Mr. Rufus Roberts, a prominent citizen of Cleveland county, N. C., and his estimable wife, are visiting their son, Chas. Roberts, Esq., editor of The Blacksburg News. M^jor Jones left here last night in a special car for Camden, for the purj>08e of bringing up over the road, the new receiver, Hon. D. H. Chamberlain. w. a. WITHOUT FOUNDATION. The Report that Mr. W.

Sanders, a member of the Chester bar, has suddenly lost possession of his faculties, and is at present in an insane condition," &c. This report is without foundation other than the fuct that Mr. Sanders has been quite ill at the home of his brother, Mr. John Sanders, some miles in the country, since the death of his wife, more than a month ago. Mr. Sanders returned to town yesterday fully recovered from his illness, and is to day busily engaged in preparing his cases for the March term of court that convenes here on the 16th instant.

York Baptist Sunday-School Convention. The next session of the York Baptist Sundayschool convention will convene at Antioch church on Friday, March 27, and adjourn on Sunday, the 29th. The following programme has been prepared for the occasion: Introductory sermon by Rev. J. E. McManaway ; alternate Rev. P. J. M. Osborne. The subjects for discussion are as follows: 1. The importance of family worship. Rev. J. E. McManaway and L. Shurley. 2. Who should be in the Sunday-school and why? Rev. J. A. White, J. C. Comer. 3. Is it important to the growth of our churches that we support our denominational paper? Rev. P. J. M. Osborne, Zadok Boyd. 4. Hymns and music for church service. A. F. Sharpe, Rev. R. U. Patrick. 5. Knowing, praying and giving in their relations to missions. Rev. F. O. S. Curtis, E. A. Hartsell. G. Whisky, what shall we do with it?license, make it free or prohibit? Revs. F. C. Ilickson, J. A. White. 7. Is it incumbent upon us as churches of the * ' r:?.i urn^i,, Southern HUptlSl I onvcillioil ui IIW nimi II m?n Sunday-school literature ? J. 10. McManaway, P. J. M. Osborne. The three last meetings of the convention have boen largely attended and have no doubt proved beneficial to-all who took part in them, and we hope the coming meeting at Antioeh may prove to be the best that has yet been held, and it can l?e made to surpass all of its predecessors if those who are interested in this important branch of our church work shall do their whole duty. What say you, brethren? Will you be there and go prepared for work ? II. K. Johnson, President. P. J. M. Onbornk, .Secretary. March 4 4 tf Interview Your Neighbor. An Illinois paper, in speaking of the Disk Harrow, says: "A fool can run it successfully ; a cripple, with both legs and one arm gone, can do more and better work with it than a twolegged and two-armed giant can in the old way." We have never seen the above test made, but wo are certain that one able bodied man with two mules and n No. 7 Corbin Harrow, can put in as many oats in a day as live men and five mules can by the old way,* and we are nlso certain that the oats put in with the harrow will be left in letter condition than those put in with a plow. There is no doubt that the Corbin Disk Harrow is the best farming implement in the world; and, for the reason that it will do more kinds of work and better work than any other implement, and because it is so simple in construction that it can be operated as successfully by a twelveyear-old boy as by a grown man. From time to time during the past eighteen months we have published testimonials from well known and successful farmers who are using Corbin Harrows, and now for the information of those who may prefer verbal testimony, we give below a list of farmers who are using the Harrow, and invite any who may bo interested in the matter to interview as many of them as may be convenient, and ascertain whether or not the Harrow is all that is claimed for it.

DEATH OF DR N. J. BUSSEY. Telegraphic Dispatches have Announed T1IK W5ATH ur u.i r. wr uiiwuuin .. Famous Citizens. Dr. Bussey was well known throughout the State as one of her ablest financiers and most prudent and successful business men. He was for many years Presidont of the Eagle and Phoenix Manufacturing Company of Columbus, and by his wisdom and sagacity, tine judgment and valuable experience, did much to make these mills among the most successful and best paying in the South. In an interview with one of the reporters of The Constitution, Mr. E. B. Harper, President of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, called the attention of the reporter to the sudden death of this popular citizen, and referred to a recent letter which the Association had received from Dr. Bussey, which wo with pleasure present to our readers. Dr. Bussey, in this letter, in speaking of the Mutual Reserve Fund Lifo Association, said : "It has cut out the weak features and combined the safest and soundest ideas and strongest points gathered from the past history of life insurance. It has given to the world a new system, which time and experience have proven to lie eminently safe and successful, and based upon sound and correct principles. The Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association is the largest Natural Premium Company in the world, and is the vigorous and successful leader of this great reform movement in life insurance. "I carry a policy," says Dr. Bussey in this letter, "of $10,000, my son $10,000 and my wife $5,000, in this company. The Mutnal Reserve has been attacked, abused and slandered so persistently by its natural enemies and competitors?the Old Line high-rate, level-premium companies?that I wished to thoroughly investigate lor myself as to its safety, which I did to my entire satisfaction. I am personally well acquainted with its officers, and I do not think the affairs of the association could be in the hands of a safer or more honorable sot of men. The plan of the association speaks for itself, and furnishes as sound, safe insurance as any of all the Old Lino, highrate companies at less than half the cost. I would not, said the doctor, in conclusion, exchange my policies in the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association for those of any other company, and I most heartily recommend it to all my friends as the very nest insurance for the least outlay of money." How littlo diu Dr. Bussey think, when writing this letter to tho officers of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, that so soon would the claim under his policy of insurance be presented ?n,M.,nn* Hut wn imntrinn that the Ml lliriu 1U1 |/njiuuiib. J'UV uw words expressed and the wisdom displayed by I)r. Bussey in selecting the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association will he fully sustained when the Association shall pay to his widow the $10,000 referred to in this letter, and we take it for granted that his wife will iind that the $10,000 which Hhe will receive from the Mutual Reserve Association will ho just sis good and will go just as far as the like sum, should she huve received it from any other life insurance company, no matter if such life insurance company had charged her husband, I)r. Bussey, twice the rateschurged by the Mutual Reserve Association. In other words, 810,000 in cash to Mrs. Bussey at this time is worth just twice as much as $5,000 from any other life insurance company which would liavo cost the same amount ot premiums. In this connection, President Harper, before leaving for New York, placed in the hands of the reporter of the Constitution the following indorsements and letters of commendation from two other leading citizens of the city of Atlanta. These gentlemen are known throughout the State for their ability in tinauces and for their prudenco in business matters, and we heartily commend to the readers of The Constitution the letters which we present from Mr. George Winship, presidentot the Winship Machine Co., and Mr. W. B. Miles, president or the Atlanta Bridge and Axle Co.: Atlanta, Ga., October 30,1800. T. II. JONES, general Manauek .Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association. Dear Sir: I take pleasure In saying that I hold a policy for ?30,000 in the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association of New York. I took It after a careful comiiarlson with the plans and rutes of other leading life Insurance companies. I made a thorough and satisfactory examination of the financial standing of the company, the character of Its management, and its promptness In paving all Just claims, und found it all I could desire. It gives me more than double the amount of Insurance I could get In the "Old Line" companies for the same money, and I consider it as prompt, reliable and trustworthy as any other company. Its safety and security I regard as beyond question; and I think there are few men who would not place their Insurance In the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association if they properly understood Its plan. I cordially commend the company to all who wish to secure the best Insurunce and the largest amount of insurunce for the least outlay of money. Yours truly. GfcORGK WINSHIP, President Winship Machine Co. ati.axta. Ga.. October 'J7. 1S!K). | T. II. JONKS, (iKXKltAf. AOKNT Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association. J tKAit Sin : Fouryears hko I took out a f.j.000 policy In the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association. Last year I was so well pleased with the excellent inanaceinent and wonderful growth and prosperity of the company that I placed another policy for 810,000 through your agency; and I am now so well satisfied with the security offered by the Mutual Reserve, Its promptness In paying Its death losses, and Its reasonable rates, that I have recently applied for 81.1,000 more, which is the maximum amount the compuny will place on any one risk. I am so thoroughly convinced of the soundness, safety, and honest prudent munugeinent'of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, that I would gladly place S')0,000 of Insurance in that company If I could get It. I consider my Insurance as safe, and my family as surely protected, for the full amount of my policy with the Mutual Reserve, as they would be with any other company In the world. In the meantime, they are protected with more than twice the amount of insurance that the same money which I pay to the Mutual Reserve would provide for them la the Did Line, Ix?vel l'remlum, High Rate Life Insurance companies. If the sound system, equitable plan, and liberal, plain jx>llcy contract of the Mutual Reserve, with Its low rates, were rightly understood by our people, 1 think there would be few men who would not place all the insurance they wanted, or could carry, in that reliable company. Very truly yours, YV.H. MILKS, President Atlanta Bridge and Axle Co. We call the attention of our readers to the fact that the Mutual Reserve Fund Association has already paid to widows and orphans of deceased members more than ten million dollars in cash. That its payments in cash lbrlSflt) alone exceeded $2,000,000, and has averaged $1,(1(10,000 of disbursements for death claims every year since its organization. It is also important lor our readers to know that it has already saved to its members by reduction of premiums, more than$2.">,<|00,0(X), and it has already received applications for membership from more than one hundred thousand citizens of this country. It has a cash surplus reserve and emergency fund of nearly three millions of dollars. The great Central Trust Co., in New York, is the trustee of its reserve fund, which is held for the exclusive use and benefit of its members. The American Loan and Trust Co., in New York, is trustee of its emergency fund, and through said emergency fund, the association is able to pay each and every death claim long before it is due. Its lirst Vice-President is Mr. <>. I). Raidwin, who was for many years the president of the Fourth National Rank of New York, which is known throughout the land, as having the largest amount of deposits, and the largest volume of exchanges of any bank in America. Its second Vice-President is lion Henry J. Reinintitul, who was for many years the insurance commissioner of the State of < >hio, and who accepted the olHee alter a personal investigation as Insurance Commissioner. The treasurer of the association is lion, .lolm W. Vroomaii, who was president of the Herkimer County National Rank, and who resigned said position to accept the ollice of treasurer of the Mutual Reserve Association. Mr. Vroomaii is also present <>rand Master of Masons of the Itirand Lodge of the State of New York, the | largest grand body of the fraterity except that over which the Prince of Wales presides for (treat Rritain and Ireland. The association is also honored by having as its ollicers many other distinguished gentlemen known throughout the length and breadth of our country for integrity I ami financial ability. It is to the credit of the Mutual Reserve Fund j Association that it has firmly established its 1ms[ iuess in Kngland, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, t France, Rclgitiiu, ( erinany, Sweden and Finlaud, and in these foreign countries, although an j American institution, it is fast becoming etpially ! popular as in its own home country. i ' The above article from The Constitution shows verv plainly how the Mutual Reserve stands in (Jeorgia with those who have thoroughly investigated its standing in the financial world, and I its ability to carry out any contract it may make. j I have in my pnssussion a munliei* of ilpcuinents | equally as strong; as any ??1* llic above.

The Place Where all Fashionable People will Buy their Stylish Spring Goods. Though the chill blast of winter has not yet spent its fury, the spring time and the season of flowers is near at hand; the season when all is hopeftil and the youths of the land are filled with sentiments of Bright anticipation; the season when enthusiasm crowds from our memories the hardships of a stormy winter.

Rut, before we go too far or say too much about our Spring Goods, wo desire to call your attention to the fact that the bumble-bee has not yet ventured out from his winter quarters, nor has nature unwound the cocoon from the butterfly, which is an evidence that Overcoats, Blankets and Light-weight Winter Clothing will yet be demanded.
