Keys has tendered his resignation as agent of the .Southern ExprcHH Company in this city, to take effect on April lat. Mr. Key? lins been the representative of the Kxpress Com pany in thia city ever since tho railroad agent at the depot was relieved of the work and tho ellice moved uptown about twenty-one years ago-and we venture tho assertion that the Com pany has never had in its service a more efficient, zealous or accommodat ing agent. During his long term of service he was absent from his oftice only ono day on account of sickness, and only took two short trips away from home. Mr. Keys is a most de voted confederate veteran, and has a wide circle of friends throughout this section who will join us in wishing him much succesB in whatever busi ness be may engage in the future. Court Proceedings. The Court of General Cessions ad journed .Saturday leaving a great ninny CUBCB on the docket untried. The term was limited to one week, and as the number of easer- awaiting trial was un usually largo there was not euflicient time to dispose of all thone pending. Solicitor Hoggs said that he would ask for a special term ns soon as it could be conveniently held. Robert Groves was convicted of murder with a recommendation to the mercy of the court. He was charged with having killed a negro last summer in Kroadaway Township. The dead body was found in Rocky river, where it had been for several days. SUB picion centered upon Groves and his arrest immediately followed. His nt tor ney a, Martin & Earle, moved for a new trial, which was granted by Judge Aldrich. Herman Parr, a negro boy about 14 years of age, was found guilty of bur glary and was sentenced to one year in the ?tate reformatory. This youthful criminal carried on a systematic rob bery of stores in the oity and succeed ed in breaking into several before being arrested by the officers. James Washington, charged with the murder of william Mnttison at TV IIIIUUIOLVU UUIlUg tllV uulloLUJUB holidays, was convicted of murder Friday. Both parties are negroes. Hie attorneys secured a new trial for him and the case will come op again at the next terra of court.

During the Christmas holidays Leverett shot at Policeman Power while the officer was making an arrest, the ball inflict ing a slight flesh wound.

The case against Luther nuicklund, Charged* with having killed Ina wife, waseontinued to the n> xe tenu. When the accused was arraigned he aaa no attorneys to represent him and the court appointed H.

Below is uninteresting sketch of the life of Mr. John Eskew by his grand daughter Mies Ethel Vandiver, who is a pnp:'l ol the Concord Behool: John Eskew was born on April 9th, 1841, at the Eskew old homestead, about Ave miles west of Anderson, near New Prospect Church, where his brother William now lives. ?-' Hm father, who waa named Elliott Eskew, was born near Centerville mill, t?io eua?-y, cn the 20th of October, 1811. Hii* mother, Catherine Burris?, waa b iro auont three miles southv?eat ot Anderson, near the old Mt. Tabor cemetery, March, the 80th, 1811. She waa more familiarly known aa Aunt Katie. They were one of the moat honored and worthy connies of Ander son County. They, lived to the ripe agea of 84 years each, having been married 68 years.. and raised eleven childi on, John being their fifth child. In early childhood he lived on the farm, helping his father and brothers with the work of the farm, and attend lng acbool at Hollywood Springs. He waa always foll of fun, and mandara Ci<e scrapes he. uss gutten ?oto at horns and Behool, for hie mischievousness. Ho stayed on the farm until the open* lng of the Civil war. He then enlist ed in Company D. Orr1? Rifles, in 1861. The company camped ? at*.

If the eye aays one thing and the teague another, you will believe tte former. There are asking eyea, asserting eyes, prowling eyes and eyea full of fate, some good and some of sinister omen. They are a posi tion index of character, disposition and feeling.
