It is a little bell that hangs on to the vest pocket, its use is to squelch a man, who gets off a stale joke, doing its work in a very secret manner. ^The wearer waits till the joke of his friend has been finished, and if not satisfactory to the hearers or if one of the jokes that Noah perpetrated, the chestnut bell is rung with a force that makes the joke insignificant. It wouldn't do for a small boy to have such a thing at a candi? date's meeting. Last Sunday morning, about half-past 1 o'clock, the dwelling house of Mr, A. T. Skelton, ? on -Greenville 'street, caught fire. The occupants of the house gave the alarm, and the neighbors came and extin? guished the fire'before any great damage was done. Tho fire, when discovered, had burned through the boxing and was climbing up the roof. A spark from the chimney is supposed to have been the cause. The:Firemen turned out, but not knowing which, diroction to go nor hear? ing any^ further alarm, they went back. The Augusta Chronicle, of last Saturday, says: "The Directors of the Greenville and Laurens Railroad agreed to accept the proposition, of President Raoul, of the ?Georgia Central System, to consolidate the Augusta and Knoxville, Greenwood, Laurens and Spartanburg, Greenville and Laurons, Port Royal and Savannah Val? ley Railroads into one corporation, to be .known as the Port Royal and Western Carolina Railway. Of course, since Mr. Raoul has a controlling interest in the roads named, and as the Greenville and Laurens accepts the consolidation, n new charter will be obtained, and the old charter under which the several roads are working will be abandoned, tho intention being to work the different roads as one complete system.

The Westminster correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution, writing from that olace under date of the 16th inst., says: Henry Howell, a painter from Anderson, S. C, who has been practicing his calling here for the past few months, was taken early last night with a sudden and severe fit of insanity. On going into the room for the night, he was heard to fall down on the floor and utter a cry as if some? thing were wrong. Persons who entered the room in response to hi3 cry, soon dis? covered his wild condition, and on re .ring from the room closed tho door, whereupon the maniac forced himself through a glass window, smashing it to pieces and falling to the ground outside. A number of men having congregated he was finally secured, after an extraordi? nary exhibition of almost superhuman strongth. Yesterday evening Howell bad a personal encounter with a fellow fainter and the excitement resulting from ;his, together with an inherited tendency to insanity, is believed to have brought on the attack last night. He is resting quietly to-day, but bis mental faculties are a!iout the same." A Curd. Mb.

Death comes occasionally and bears off our loved ones, keeping us reminded that we, too, will go hence at God's bidding and be no more. Our young friend, J. Wash. Prince, son of Hon. Hugh Prince, of Pelzer, was buried in the Williamston cemetery on the 12th inst., leaving a young wife and fond parents to mourn nis death. The colored as Well as whites have their troubles. Uncle Ctcsar Wilson, an old colored man, who was loved for his hon eBty and piety, died very suddenly with colic. Several white friends attended his funeral, and all felt that he had entered the pearly gates. Mrs. Wiatt, the widow of tho late Ludy Wiatt, from Alabama, who is visiting rel? atives in our town, is very ill.

The prospects for a new parsonage, to be built on the Methodist Church lot, is very flattering. Several have subscribed, and many more intend doing so. Several of our merchants are exhibit? ing new goods, and a great deal of cotton is being sold every day in our two towns at a lower price than it cost to make it. .Notwithstanding the summer is past and autumn leaves are falling, we have many visitors still going and coming in search of health and pleasure. . A. P. N. In Memorlam. There are times and occasions when we are made to realize with peculiar force how very mortal we are. Who of us im? agined a month ago, as we looked upon Louis Ligon in the strength and vigor of Joung manhood, that Death had marked im for its own, and that its relentless hand was already stretched forth to take him from our midst. This most estimable young man, Louis L. Ligon, son of Prof. W. J. and Mrs. L. C. Ligon, died at the home of his pa? rents, just without the limits of our city, oh Monday night, the 13th of October, at about 9 o'clock, after a brief illness of on? ly two weeks, aged 20 years and 12 days. He had been unwell for several days,, but the busy season bad opened, and with characteristic devotion to his work he would not give up until advised by his physician that he must. His sickness de? veloped at once into typhoid fever of a violent type. His friends, however, trust? ing much to his strong consti tu tion,which had been impaired by no. intemperate habit or indulgence, looked hopefully to his recovery; but Louis, almost from the first, with one of those strange presenti? ments that are sometimes felt, thought he would not get well, and early in his sick? ness arranged all his business affairs, ap? prising his parents of just how each and every little matter stood, thus evincing a methodical care and exactness that was characteristic of him, and that so fitted him for the important business position he held. As to his spiritual interests, these he had long ago?having united with the Methodist Church of this place when ?when about 11 years old?committed to Him of whom the Apostle Paul said :? "I know whom I have believed, and that He is able to keep that 1 have committed unto Him against that day," to which fact the daily walk and conversation of the boy, and later on of the young man, testified \ abundantly.- Nor were there wanting assurances from his own lips to those near and dear to him, before and during his sickness, and at the time when all hope had fled, and he knew that he must die, that he was fully trusting in the sure promises of God. Some four rears ago the deceased, while a youth at school, was proffered, all unso? licited by him or his friends, a position in the Bank at this place, which he accepted and continued to fill with the utmost fi? delity and efficiency op to the time of his last illness, winning the esteem and ap? proval of the management of the Bank, and a reputation in the community for business capacity and faithfulness to duty that any young man might be proud of. It was the privilege of the writer to be closely .associated with Louis for several years,.and to watch, with growing aud affectionate interest and admiration, the unfolding of a life and character that had in it so much that was lovely and noble, and that gave such rich promise of suc? cess and usefulness. He was, in every respect, a most exemplary and promising young man. If he ever soiled his lips with a coarse or impure expression, or uttered an oath, we cannot recall it. If he had a single bad habit, or was addict? ed to any of the vices common to youth, we did not know it. In disposition kind and unusually obliging?in manners un? assuming and courteous?in character in I telligent, upright, manly and firm?he wou for himself the respect aud confi? dence of nil, and drew to him many warm and admiring friends His genial, social disposition led him to participate in the legitimate pleasures and amusements of life with hearty zest and enjoyment, and ho was among his young companions and friends a great favorite ; but he bad, withal, his decided convictions as to what was right and what wrong, and duty was his watchword, and no amount of persuasion or influence could induce him to engage in that which his conscience condemned, or what conflicted in the least with duty. He was singularly gentle in his disp osition, and to a great extent was to his devoted mother?in a family where the children were all boys?like a daugh? ter; yet he was a most manly youth, and his father was growing each day to de? pend more and more upon the judgment and sympathetic interest and help of tho son whose devotion to his home and his parents was in every way so beautifully exhibited. It seems a mysterious providence that should remove this young man?so prom? ising ; but "we see through a glass darkly here." 'Tis enough for us to know that God took him, and that He doeth all things well. A Friend. A Wonderful Discovery.

What is Said About it. There is no medicine which has been offered to the people for the past fifty years that has attained the popularity of Pome roy's Plaster. It is an external Remedy that rel ieves at once Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Backache, and all common ills that are sure to come, which do not need a doctor, but must he attended to, and it is so simple and harmless that anybody, old or young, can use it.
