At Hymen's Altar?The Death Roll?Personal Mention?Other Notes of Iuterest. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Rock Hill, January 4.?The First Presbyterian church at this place was made the scene of a happy event on Tuesday, the 29th ultimo. This event was the marriage of Miss Anna Belle May, one of Rock Hill's most popular and charming young ladies, to Mr. J. E. Parker. The attendants were Mr. C. Deihl with Miss Blanche May; Mr. J. Watson Steele with Miss Pearl Fewell; Mr. J. H. Williams with Miss Leila Steele; Mr. M. H. Sandifer with Miss Helen Ruff; and Mr. J. W. McMace with Miss Eugenia Corbet. The ushers were Mr. Lee Kerr and Mr. J. W. O'Neal. Rev. W. M. Anderson officiated. After a brief visit to the groom's parents at Ridgeway, S. C., they returned to Rock Hill, and will board with Mrs. F. H. London. All join in wishing them a long and prosperous life. While in the midst of life we seem to be in death in reality. The remains of Mr. Cephas J. Kee, who went to Sumter recently to visit his daughter, Mrs. Edwards, were brought here on tne zym uiumo ior interment. Mrs. Jane Gordon, au aged lady of the Globe mills, died of grip on the 28th ultimo. The remains were sent to Harrison, N. C., for hurial. Another death was that of J. H. Ayers, an operative of the Rock Hill Cotton Manufacturing company. Pneumonia was the <a :sc. ladder still was the death of T. J. Neely, a renter on Mr. II. A. D. Neely's place. His death was due to pneumonia, and it will be remembered that he had lost a son about ten .days*ago from the same disease. We were all glad to see Mr. J. C. Poag on our streets last week. He is just recovering from a severe attack of pneumonia. The firm of Frew Bros. & Keesler has been dissolved by mutual consent, Mr. E. L. Keesler drawing out and returning to Charlotte. Mr. Clarke Starnes has moved back to his farm, a few miles from town, and will again set an example in farming worthy of being followed. Mr. Walter H. McFadden and James A. Gill have returned from the West; Gill to remain, and McFadden on a visit to his relatives and friends. Mr. Wm. Frew is on a brief visit from Asheville, N. C., combining pleasure with business. Mrs. J. F. Rudasill, of Charlotte, N. C., is visiting relatives and friends in Rock Hill. Mr. J. B. Coleman, district manager for the Singer Manufacturing company, has closed his business in this territory and accepted a similar position in Richmond, Ky. He and his family made many friends in Rock Hill, whose best wishes will accompany them to their new home. The Knights of Pythias gave a sumptuous repast Friday night in the way of an oyster supper. Beginning with Sunday night, there will be a series of union services at the First Presbyterian church, each night during the week. The services will be opened by Rev. E. 0. Watson and conducted alternately by the pastors of the respective churches. i nose woo enjoy ineiro u ciock biuwucio, were rudely awakened last Sunday morning by the alarm of fire.

LETTER FROM CLOVER. Josh Is Pleased with the Holidays?Rev. K. G. Patrick to Serve the Baptist Church. Correspondence of the YorkvIUe Enquirer. Clover, January 4.?My mind has been so much engrossed with things of the world for the past few months, that I have not been able to communicate with my friends through the columns of The Enquirer. We have had a panic?a bread and meat panic?and it is not over yet; but we feel so happy with everybody and everything this morning that want we everybody to know that we are still here, and that Clover is still moving on. Our merchants are all solid, though collections have been very light, and there are no changes in the different firms ; but all seem determined to go ahead, panic or no panic, come "weal or woe." One thing that adds to ray peace of mind just now is the fact that the holidays have passed away more quietly than for several years. No drinking or rowdying, and no arrests by the town authorities. In fact our town authorities and policemen seem to be taking a rest. The remark was frequently heard, "so quiet, so quiet." We feel thankful for this. It is the kind of Christmas we love. It is the proper frame of mind. Hope our holidays may always pass ofF in this . way. There is great complaint of bad colds? known by another name around here. One man says that he knows of but one place that is not afflicted with the disease, and that is the penitentiary in Virginia, but he does not care to go there to escape the disease. We learn that the Baptist church has secured the services of Rev. R. G. Patrick, of Yorkville, to preach for them twice a month. We hope the arrangement is permanent, as Mr. Patrick is very popular here. According to an old established custom, the Presbyterians here have preaching every first and third Sunday, and we would be glad to have Mr. Patrick, if he can, to arrange his appointments for the second and fourth Sun-1 days in each month. If he can do this, we can then have preaching every Sunday. Miss Florrie Allison is still at the head of our school, which will open on next Monday, the 11th instant. josh. BLACKSBUKG'BUDGET. Reflections on the New Year?A Model Graded School and How It Came to be SuchJoined the Order of Benedicts. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Blacksburg, January 5.?Although there has been much complaint by our people of the way they were treated by the Old Year, yet it seems at the last they must have reconsidered the matter and felt that the blessings he brought outnumbered the ills which befell them, and after all they were loth to part with him. With a tender reverence, and profound silence, they closed his eyes and tied up his chair, and sis the New Year stepped upon the threshold, there were few demonstrations of welcome and slight signs of gladness that the old had gone and new had come. Not even among our Northern moo +Rurn tho tmnrrino nf friirm. the I UU^uo nao vmvi v wmv wvv?*.>.e 0 7 ringing of bells, and other glad tokens of the incoming of a New Year. And, as if to get even with us for such a chilling reception, the youth has given us two of the coldest and most stinging days we have had during the winter, and if he persists in his resentful disposition, there is no telling what he has in store for us. However, it is to be hoped that the days referred to, Sunday and Monday, were genuine microbe killers and have destroyed the germ of the prevailing epidemic?influenza-^-from which so many of our people have suffered during the past month. The New Year finds very few and unimportant changes among our business men. While the past season has not been so prosperous as in other years, and the collections not so full, owing to the low price of cotton, as they could have wished, yet our merchants have held up well under the depression and are all begiuuiug another year upon a good footing. In the way of improvements, about $75,000 has been added to the value of real estate and taxable property in our town during the past twelve months. Our graded school has been placed upon a good, and, it is to be hoped, permanent basis, and a system of instruction inaugurated equal to that of any similar institution in the land. To our first board of trustees, and especially to our efficient chairman, N. W. Hardin, Esq., are our people indebted for this splendid work, and to the worthy and competent successors in office has been committed an important trust which we feel they are capable of taking care of. Miss Mary Gregory arrived yesterday, and will very soon begin work in the primary department. Miss Belk, of Fort Mill, will succeed Miss Clarkson as principal of this department. So that everything has been arranged for the successful carrying on of ?4-Krv ?/\?v>m'ninrv O tut; suiiuuis iur uiciciiiaiuni^ iviuio. Rev. Mr. Hamiter and Mr. Albert Whisonant, two of our most popular and successfill young men in their respective callings, tired of single blessedness, recently became benedicts, and are willing to be congratulated upon having each secured man's greatest blessing, a good wife. Mr. and Mrs. Hamiter arc boarding, temporarily with Mrs. M. E. Deal, and Mr. Whisonant began house keeping at once in his new residence on Lime street. Rev. Mr. White, at the earuest request of a large majority of the members of the Baptist church, has withdrawn his resignation, and consented to remain fli3 pastor of the church. w. A. McCONNELLsVlLLE MATTERS. _ Christmas Amusements?Hot Supper?Personal Notes. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. McConnellsville, January 4.?The people of this place seem to have had a lively time during the holidays despite the cry of hard times. In fact, the Christmas festivities were so enjoyable that this scribe entirely forgot to write last week. The amusements commenced on the night of the 21st, when the Ladies' Aid Society of Olivet gave a musicale. My readers need not infer that it was a funeral occasion from the fact that the coroner of Chester took a prominent part. The ladies of Bethesda gave the infant class a Christmas tree on Christmas eve, which was enjoyed by the grown people present as well as by the children. These little tots must be favorites of Santa Claus, as he was present in person and made them an address before delivering the presents. There have been several parties lately, and the lovers of the dance have been improving their opportunity and perhaps their dancing too. Quite a number of our young people attended the entertainment at Lowrysville on the night of the 24th. They seemed to enjoy it hugely, especially the "Colored Kansas Emigrants." The hot supper at the Bethesda graded school, last Wednesday, gave the old bachelors of the community a splendid opportunity for testing the achievements the young ladies have made in the culinary department. Their skill must be considerable, as the Aid Society of Bethesda expect to give a supper here next Thursday night. Our collegiates have ail been at home for the holidays. The contingent consisted of Misses EllftLove and Aggie Erwin, from Converse college ; Miss Janie McConnell, of the Winthrop Training School; and Mr. J. M. Moore, of the Theological seminary. They have all returned to their various schools, however, and the village is settling down to its usual state of dullness. scribbler. GOULD NOTES. Christmas Hunting?A Hog Instead of a Peddler?The Grip?Sad Death. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Gould, January 4.?Christinas passed quietly with most delightful weather, and bird and rabbit hunting were the order of the day. On last Monday a party of about fifty, all mounted with the exception of a few negroes, caught and killed about sixty rabbits, besides killing a good many birds. Mr. Claude Inman is the champion bird hunter in this neighborhood. He informs me that he and one or two others, in company, killed as many as sixty in one day. The Irish peddler who was thought to have been murdered some time ago near a negro church on Mr. John L. Itainey's place, has turned up all right. The trail of blood so sensationally described, now turns out to have come from a hog. At least that is the present story. It seems that a negro had stolen a hog and killed it in order to more easily carry it away. It is unnecessary to say that he did not put the body into the creek, where it was thought that the peddler was disposed of. There are several cases of grip reported in the neighborhood. Miss Lizzie Parks, who has been in delicate health for several years, has entirely broken down of late, and it is thought that she is gradually growing worse. Mrs. Eliza Jane Killer, aged about forty years, died on the 1st instant, and was buried in Bullock's Creek cemetery on the day following. She leaves an infant six i weeks old, a husband, and an aged and helpless mother to mourn her loss. 11. CHESTER NOTES.

From the number of poor mules and horses I coming in this morning, we would judge that , the "cryer" will have a big job "of who says how much." There will be more property sold today in the court house yard than for a number of years. Dr. B. J. Kandall and Miss Minnie Holt/ were united in the holy bonds of wedlock bust Tuesday at the residence of the bride's mother. The doctor has lived long enough to know how to appreciate the change. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. ? Ninety-three Northern visitors registered at the various hotels in Aiken last week. ? It is reported that Charleston capitalists are holding upward of one million dollars worth of cotton. ? The town of Laurens was visited by another big fire last Monday. The fire broke out in a building owned by Witto Bros., and $8,000 worth of property was destroyed. ? Mrs. James H.

Pee Dee Index: Mr. Cade Sherwood, of Little Rock, has leased forty convicts from the penitentiary, to be used on his farm next year. He is to pay $80 a year for each of them, and all expenses of feeding and guarding, but the State is to clothe them. ? Spartanburg correspondence of the News Courier: For several weeks there have been daily sales of mortgaged stock on the public square. During the holidays they came to a close, hut it is probable that the mule auctions will be begun after New Year's. Many persons who bought on time have been compelled to surrender their work animals and take a ground start. ? Newberry Observer: A negro man, * ? ? 1. rv.l??Y,u;o Willie WaiKlIlg Oil tue uuun. ui i/iiu ^v/?u.uu..., Newberry and Laurens railroad, on Thursday of last week, was knocked down by a moving engine, near Newberry station. He was thrown upon the rail and against the front wheel of the engine, and thus situated he slid along the rail about twenty-feet, and was tossed to one side, his overshoes being knocked off his feet. He got up, looked a little dazed, then put on his overshoes and got on the train, bound for his home at Prosperity. ? The South Carolina Land and Emigration agency is the name of a company that was incorporated by the last general assembly. The incorporators of the company are General Wade Hampton, Malcolm Johnson, J. M. McClannahan, F. A. Sale, J. Q. Marshall, John T. Sloan, Jr., W. H. Timmerman, John S. Vomer and W. H. Stewart. The maximum of the capital stock allowed is one million dollars, and the business of the company, should it ever be organized, will be to buy and sell lands in this State, and to encourage emigrants and immigrants to South Carolina. ? Halcott J. Pride, of Landsford, Chester county, died on the 24th ultimo of the terrible injuries sustained by falling in the fire a few days before, an account of which was given last week. Mr. Pride was well known, and had many friends in the eastern portions of York and Chester counties. He "was born in 1817; was a man of fine education, and up to the close of the war possessed of considerable wealth. As the result of the war, however, his property was swept away, and he was left to begin the struggle of life anew in his old age. He has always resided at "Wyoming," the old family seat near Landsford. THE THERMOMETER'S RECORD For the Week Ending January 5.?Observations by Mr. J. R.

We also sell the justly popular White House Soap. FANCY GROCERIES. Fancy Groceries is a comparatively new feature with our establishment, since it has only been three or four years since we commenced to give it especial attention, and to-day we feel warranted in saying that the dealer who sells more Fancy Groceries than we do leads the procession. We think we have been in the business long enough to be familiar with the very exacting requirc1 monts of this trade. There is, perhaps, no business in which there is so good an opportunity of imposing on the consumer. In tho Canned Goods department there are at least three grades both in fruits and meats, and there is, of course, a dif' erenco in cost and quality of each grade, and therefore tho poorer the goods the greater the immediate profit to the dealer. We have always made it a point to sell only the BEST quality of Canned Goods, as well as everything else in this line, and take our profit in less amounts from SATISFIED customers. RIDDLE A CARROLL.

THE statement that the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association of New York famishes life insurance at less than half the rates charged by the old lino life insurance companies, has been to- " peatedly made in these columns during the past ten months, and scores of newspaper articles from the editorial columns of leading American . newspapers?statements that cannot be bought with money?and last, but not least, voluntary and unconditional endorsements from prominent citzcns all over the land, have been laid before the readers of this paper, and now we propose to give a few facts and figures and defy any man to prove that they are not absolutely correct. The 20 Year "Endowment" Policy. Now, in order to make our meaning clear, wo will take first the case of an insurable man or woman of the age of 40 and compare the difference in cost between what the old line companies designate as a "Twenty Year Endowment Policy"?the kind a great many sensible men are deluded into taking?for $10,000, and a "Ten Year Distribution Policy" in the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association for a similar amount. We find by reference to the rate table of a leading old line company that their charge per $1,000 of insurance under the "endowment system" is 953, or $530 for $10,000. By reference to the rates of the Mutual Reserve, we find that its fate is $16.20 per $1,000 or $162 for $10,000. We farther find that the annual difference in cost in flavor of the Mutual Reserve on $10,000 insurance is kjob. Now if you will take your insurance in the Mutual Reserve and put the difference in cost between it and the old line company in a stocking or bury it in the ground each year for twenty years, you will at the end of that time have saved $7,380 m clean cash. And on the other hand, if you will take your $388 and invest it each year at 5 per cent., (is that too high7) at the end of five years your saving and interest will amount to $2,134; at the end of the fifteenth year to $8,338; at the end of the twentieth year, $12,769; so it will be seen, the natural investment of the difference of cost would amount to $12,769, or $2,769 more than the face of the endowment policy for which you would have been paying. In case of death at the end of the tenth year, the benefits accruing under the Mutual Reserve plan, to the estate of the doceased, would be $14,861; should death occur on the twentieth year, the estate would receive $22,869 as against $10,000 from the level premium company. Now if the theory of chance is taken into consideration and the assured realizes that there are two chances to one that he will not survive the twenty years, should he keep up his insurance, the fallacy of endowment insurance in the light of the facts given is self-apparent. The "Twenty Payment" Policy. We will now take another form of policy that is very popular with a great manv who go in without investigating. Itls called the "Twenty^ Payment Life Policy." We will use the same age?40?and the same amount?$10,000?as in the first illustration. We find that the rate charged by the old line companies for this kind ofpoucy is $39.80 per $1,000, or $398 for $10,000. Deduct $162?the Mutual Reserve rate for a $10,000 policy?from $398 and tho result is $236. Should the insured live to the expiration of his twenty years, he would receive from the level premium company a paid up policy of $10,000. The difference of premium in favor of the Mutual Reserve at 5 per cent, would have amounted to 17,915. The interest on $7,915 at 5 per cent, would be $396.76 a year, of which amount $162 would continue to carry the $10^000 polic^Jn the Mutual Reserve ana leave a oaiance oi^u>i.<oauuuuu; w wuution. In case of death during or alter the twentieth year, bis estate, in addition to the fl0,000 received from the Mutual Reserve, would be worth at least 87,915 more than it would have been had he bought the old line company's "Twenty Payment Life Policy " Is it necessary to carry tne illustration any further? Does it look to you as if a man in his right mind, after he knows that he can buy a certain article of exactly the same value as the one he has been buying, at less than half the cost, will continue to buy the high priced article? Another great advantange of the Mutual Reserve system is that it places insurance that insures, within the reach of persons of moderate means. The Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association writes policies in any amount from $1,000 to $30,000. Its rates range all the way from $13.80 for a person of 25, to $43.68 for a person of 60. J. S.
