An exchange truly remarks that every
Hoe in a newspaper cost something.
If it is for the benefit of an individ?
ual, it should be paid for. If tbe
grocer was asked to contribute gro?
ceries to one abundantly able to pay for
them he would refuse. Tbe proprietor
of a newspaper must pay for the free ad?
vertising, if tbe beneficiary does not, and
Jet it is one of the bardea; things to bo
earned by many that a newspaper bus
space in its columns to rent, and if rented
for anything less than living rates would
be as certainly fatal as for a landlord to
furnish a house rent free.
The police department of Anderson is a

nol prosjed, &c, 21. Amount of fines
turned into the city treasury, $177. Num?
ber of days work on tbe streets, 187. which
amounts to $93 50. estimated at 50 cents
a day. Hence, tbe total money value of
the fines for October amou nts to $270.50.

Maok, thesix-year-old so a of Mr. Clark
Webb, who lives near Ptarcetown, met
with a painful acoident last Sunday morn?
ing, whereby he lost the third and fourth
fingers of his right band. Mr. Webb and
his children were at the wood-pile, and
little Mack picked up a corn stalk and
asked his father to cut in two with tbu
axe. As Mr. Webb made the stroke tbe
little fellow moved his hand in the way
and the axe severed the fingers. The lit?
tle finger was cut clear off, tbe next one
hung by the flesh and the flesh of the
middle finger was slightly cut. Dr. John?
son was called in, but having no surgical
Instruments to properly amputate the
bones, he bandaged the hand and Mr.
Webb brought the little eafferer to this
city, where Dr. Nardin dressed tbe wound?
ed fingers. Our latest information in that
the little fellow is doing well, and will
soon be able to use his hand again.
The Cosmopolitan Dramatic Company,
supporting the talented young Southern
actress, Miss Lilian Pearce, opened an
engagement in the Opera House Monday
evening, and was greeted by a large and I
appreciative audience. "Black Flag" was
the title of the play presented, and it was
highly enjoyed by everybody. On Tuos-1
day night another good audienoe had the
fdeaeure of witnessing that exceedingly
nteresting drama, "The Galley Slave."
To night a most laughable comedy,
"Little Ferret," will be presented, and
will conclude the engagement of the Com
pany in Anderson. Miss Pearce, who is
a daughter of Col. S. A. Pearce, of Colum?
bia, has achieved a high place in her pro?
fession, and her sweet, winsome manner
and dainty acting wins frequent applause.
The Company throughout is a very good
one, and should it ever return to Ander?
son our people will give it a good patron?
age.
Death has Invaded another happy home
and taken therefrom a devoted wife and
an affectionate mother. We allude to tbe
death of Mrs. Eugenia Witherspoon, the
beloved wife of Dr. R. G- Witherspoon,
I who died at her home, in Rock Mills
j Township, last Thursday, after an illness
of several weeks with typhoid fever. She
was in the 35th year of her age, and was a
daughter of the late Thos. H. Anderson.
Mrs. Witherspoon was born and reared in
the section where she died, and was per?
haps one of the best known ladies of that
section. As a true Christian woman, she
Eossessed many noble virtues of both
eart and mind, and her kind, gentle dis?
position was praised by every acquaint?
ance. She was ever ready to assist tbe
needy and distressed, and those who
knew her best loved her most, In her
girlhood days she joined the Roberts
Presbyterian Church, and throughout her
life was a most zealous, consistent mem?
ber. Her remains were laid to rest in the
Roberts Churchyard on Friday morning.
A devoted husband and two little chil?
dren, one of whom is an infant three
months old, survive her. Those who are
left to mourn her untimely death will
ever cherish the deepest love and tbe
fondest memories of one whose mission in
life was to brighten and gladden the
hearts of others.

Moseloy Items;
We are knocking at the door of your
sanctum for admittance, Mr. Editor, and
will ask you to excuse us for leaving the
farmers at home this week. They all have
plenty of corn, fine turnips with an
abundance of potatoes and garden vege?
tables, all are in good health, and, as an
Irishman would say, the most unhappy
people of Barnes are those who do not
live here.
Preparations are being made for a recep?
tion at this place in the near future. As
soon as we can learn the particulars we
will send them up.
Our Devil is responsible for tbo remark

One of our townsmen has suddenly de?
veloped a fondness for fishing in theSa

over after him.
Miss Fannie Galloway is spending a

One of the writers last week said a
couple bad met for tbe first time in two
years. We could mention seven different
couples who have met recently after a two
year's absence, and they all report a pleas?
ant time. By tbe way that writer forgot
to mention a couple that mot last fourth
Sunday afternoon the first time in two
month's. We did not notice any joy at
that meeting, and feel safe in saying that
he never got a nickel when he left.
Some of our people attended the Union

i tor, in your issue of tbe 19th ult., under
j the heading of a "A Dog Law" i3 being
i favorably commented on by some of our
people, especially with those who keep no
j dogs. Ono morning recently while one
[ of these gentlemen was ploughing a dog
I passed near him and he at once decided to
I act upon tbe suggestion "that any dog
, found without a label be shot," and
I mounted his mule and started in pursuit,
shouting "mad dog." We have overy
I reason to believe that the dog was mad
I and seemed very anxious to reaoh home,
j Howbeit the man didn't catch him, but
I his neighbors are laughing about it yet.

I was awakened to that fact not long
since, when a lady friend proceeded to
show the many faults and errors of my
way, and actually convinced me that I
was not only foolish, but curious, and
prescribed matrimony as a remedy sure
to cure. I was not long in finding one
that just suited me and lost no time in
asking her to wilt, and went nearly wild |
with joy when she promised to marry me j
on the 3lat of November. But when I tell
my friends that I am going to quit single 1
blessedness and try double cussedness,
they grin and say that November has but
thirty days, and now I am going to find
Dave and ask him if ho won't kick,

Gather your axe and march to the old

them to scold and bog for something to
cook your rations with. Don't a great
many of the readers find it a di?icult mat?
ter to keep enough firo-wood and stove
wood for sister Jane or Susie to get break?
fast with. I do. First thing in the morn?
ing is: Jim, you or John, or Sam, one,
must split some stove-wood. There ain't
a stick in tho box, and oh ! how that does
go against the grain. Now, boys, let us
take the advice prescribed and put an end
to that ever horrid cry "more stove- wood"
and give our guilty conscience rest.

Presentment of the Crand Jury;
To his HoiJ?) James A'.Jrich, presiding
Judge:
TIic grand jury I);';-' leave to report that
we have passed on nil (lie lulls submitted
to us.
By committee wc lihve examined the
books of the couuty officers and submit the
following report:
"We have satisfied ourselves that all
funds collected and disbursed by our coun?
ty officials arc properly accounted for upon
the records. That the bonds given by said
officers are good and sufficient.
"We find in the ollice of the Clerk of
Court the records are conveniently arranged
ami as well kept as the limited space allotted
for this purpose will admit. There.is cer?
tainly want of room for the work, and for
the proper preservation of the records of
this ollice.
"A new index book after a letter system
is very much needed in the office of the
Probate Judge, and we recommend that
such a book be purchased and the re-index?
ing be done at once.
"We note an ever increasing expense in?
curred by the county in the purchase of
fuel and blankets and repeated repairs for
the jail, necessary tor the proper care of the
prisoners, caused by the dilapidated condi?
tion af this building.
"In connection with the ollice of County
Auditor we are advised that grcat'difficulty
is experienced in getting suitable township
boards of assessors, as no compensation is
allowed for this very important work.
These boards should be composed of com?
petent men. familiar with property in their
sections. Kcturns as now received are in?
complete in many instances and consider?
able property escapes assessment or is
assessed und'.t value."
Complaint is made to us that the bridge
across Brushy Creek at Rosamond's mill is
in a dangerous condition. Also Tippen's
bridge in Pendleton township.
Further complaint is made that in certain
pnvls of the county the dead timber is
allowed to overhang certain public roads.
Wn recommend that the law he enforced
to remove obstructions in Cox's and Fox's
creeks running through the lands of Mrs.
W. D. Evins.
We have by committee visited the poor
house and county jail. At the poor house
wc find forty-seven (17) inmates, who are
well cared for, and the farm and buildings
in good condition. Wc recommend the
digging of a now well oil the premises of
the poor house to furnish water for the
cookiii};; department of the negro quarters.
We find the jail crowded with prisoners,
more room badly needed anil the present
building insecure.
We would express our thanks to his
Honor, the presiding Judge, and the So?
licitor for courtesies extended during this
term of the Court.

Messrs. Editors : My heart was made
sad on last Thursday whon I was inform?
ed that Mrs. Wallio Witherspoon was
dead. My mind at onco ran back to
childhood clays, when I know her as a
schoolmate?a bright, interesting, kind
hearted little girl; and later on develop?
ing inlo a perfect specimen of woman?
hood. She became the wife of Dr. R. G.
Witherspoon, and lived happily together
until Thursday morning, tho 27th of Oc?
tober, 1S92, when tho God who gave her
noblo spirit called her home.
Mrs. Witherspoon was the daughtor of
tho lalo Thos. H. Anderson, Esq? and
was at tho time of her death about 35
years of age. Sho was n consistent mem?
ber of the Presbyterian Church, and was
iu the strictest seuae of tho word a most
oxeniplary Christian woman. Sho wor?
shiped and associated with all orthodox
Christians, and stood ready at all times
with open hands to render assistance to
tho suffering and needy, cousequently
sho was loved and admired by a large
circle. Liko the good Samaritan she was
always by tbe bedside of the suffering,
speaking words of comfort, love and
cheer, mingling her tears with theirs, in
dark and weary hours she was not for?
getful to commend them to Him who
doeth all things well.
Taking her life as a whole she proved
herself to bo an amiable, modest nod
most lovable woman ; an uprif*'t Chris?
tian, a devoted companion, a good neigh?
bor, ever letting her light shine, proving
her faith by her dally walk ; and though
her body lies to-day silent in tbo grave
at Robert's Church, aud while her tongue
is dumb, and her onco useful body is hid
from our view, hor memory still lives,
and will be a living witness bearing tes?
timony that tho wisest philosophers can?
not invalidate, nor tbo violcnco of tho
swiftest foes destroy. May the sorrow?
ing husband and two little children bo
kept under the shadow of the Savior's
love, and at last join her on the other
shore. S.
