It ruins health, mid iu a bad practice. Counterfeit dimes nro in circulation, well executed, but lacking tho true ling. The unsightly and dangerous hole in tho bridge at tho corner of DoKxlb and Lyttleton at roots ban been covered. The small sum of two dollars will get on? of tho host weekly papers in the I State for one year?tho Kershaw Ga ZETTE. How a woman can koep on talking while she twists up her back hair and has her mouth full of hair pins, is a myatcry not yot solved. Some men aro like cats. You may stroko tho fur tho right way for years and hoar nothing but purring; but ac cidentally tread on tho tail, :.nd all mem ory of former kindness is obliterated. Dir.r>.?J. M. Dibble, a young colored roan, died yesterday morning, of con sumption. Ho had been si?>k for some time. Tho dooeased had built up a good business 'n Camden, and by his atton tion to business had accumulated some property. He was well thought of by theontire community,^oth whito nnd black. Til* mooting of the Board of County Commissioners which was to have taken , place on last Wednesday, for tho pur-, pose of electing a physioiau to the poor nnd a keeper of the poor houso, was not held, Dieso matters, thoreforo, lie over to a future meeting. During the campaign there wero a great many moo who made a boast of their devotion to the Democratio party. Gotornor Hampton, who woa eloctod by the rotoa of Ihe people and is tho only rightfol rulor ot the Stato, now calls upon the people for ten per oent. of the amount of tholr last yenr> taxes Lot there be a ready response to this call from every sido. Thoao who refuse u> ooroe Op to the full mark of duty in this natter should bo regarded with the greatest suspicion. Thoy arc unworthy the Confidence of tho people, nnd mean nothing bjr their professions. 1\xai> the U?t- of tale* advutufd bJ the Sheriff io Ih is issue. Now is the tiuie to reoew- your sub ?criptioa. Do not run in debt this year, aud you will have do bills to pay ut the begiuuiug of the next. Ksmkmukh the tna?s meeting at Town llull tomorrow at 12 o'clock. Not a single amusement of anjr kirvi has been had in Camdcu this season. Came?no hall fit to appear iD. TnEHr. aro ouly twelve places on liroad street where liquor is sold. 01 these, ico are retail bir-rooms. A YOUNG friend hands us the follow ing enigma : My first is n kind of bvttcr ; my second, a kiod of liciccr, and my whole is m part of a guu. An swer next week. The Democruts of I'ine Tree hold an iinportuut uieetiug to-day. We hope it will be largely attended. . Pav tue Small Bills.?This is the time when tradesmen and storekeepers aud producers of all the ar ticles of dom estic use, wear aud consumption, expect their bills to bo paid, aud it is most im portant that all wlio owe them anything should girc their accounts prompt at-*, tVuLiou. It is the period for settlement ull round, ond by putting the money in niotiou it will go from one to another, paying oft many scores. Thus each will be relieved from his indebtedness, aud a general feeling of sulisl'ucti<>u will be imparted. A ready attention to this ! matter will help to revive business in ull retail circles. (H-'R friends aro requested to interest themselves in increasing the subscription list of the (jAZKTTK. With a very lit tln effort on ihuir part, a hundred addi tional subscribers could be obtained within the next thirty days. The man who had the cheek to order his county paper stopped without offer ing to pay his arrears ought in bo ground up aud used lo burnish brass vessels. W'e know of just such a cuss in Hay wood county. If lie i? not stricken with the ague or the s.-ven years itch, we shall lose all l.iith in the equal dis tribution of badly needed ountshments. Bruu'nsvHt>- Stiilt a. Cai'uiit.?Alfred Norwood, the thief who purloined Dr. Moore's horse and buggy about two weeks ago, was arrest ednn Darlington county, near Lydia, and brought to tfuden on Monday. When arrested ho I? ad on the fine suit of duties whieh were stolen from Mr. D. li. Mc Luurin's room at the DeKalb House just a few days previous to the stealing of Dr. Moore s horse and buggy. Upon hisartival he c, Alfred was assigned hulgiims at Sheriff Doby's lioto.l, who.e he will await the pleasure of the Court of Sessions. Tu k Ki.foiion ok Cotnty Officii* .J udge Kccd bus reudered It in decision in the ease of Willim.il) \H. Obtciidoi The single .|UcHti<in at was whether the election for Clerk of Court, held <>n November 7, was a valid elect ion. ()s tcndoif claimed the office hh having , ?!ected^^^^^*Jj^-VV'ii^? uU who yearn and until his uuccessor was elected uud qualified, claimed that November 7 was not the proper day lor holding the elcctiou, uud thut the election of Clerk then held was void. The judgiuout of the court is that the election of Clerk of Oouit, held on November 7, was with out warrant of law, uud that Mr. Willi tuau, us holding over, is the lawful Clerk* Council met last week, for the first time in inoro than two months. Two policemen were elected to Gil vacancies. No other business of consequeueo was transacted. It should be u Hourco of congratulation to our citizens to know that the utfairs of the town do not re quire lho Council to meet more fro* fluently. By tho-bye, isn't it getting jjbvut time the people were having the <]<t<ir(cr(y statement ol the condition oT the town in regard to the income, ex penditures, ito., ifco., (to., which was pro inised at the meeting of citizens last April ? We regret to record (ho death of Miss Annio Withcrspoon, daughter of Capt. J. K. Withcrspoon, which occurred on the 3d instant at the residence of Lcr rr-,?1? " Dodgo, at Jackson ville, Fin.| wliithcr she had but recently fxono on a visit. Her death was least expected, and this terrible affliction on tin: loving father, doting mother and fond brother and sister, elijits the uni ted sympathies of our entire communi ty. I lcr remains were brought to (Jam den and interred in the Cemetery on Tuesday of last Week. We copy the following from ttio .Jack-son vilh? J'mn ; Srioo-v !? -:\rii.?The fii-nis of Itov.

Br r *eronoe to our Advertising col utnns, if will bo seen that the special agent, M?j. K. B. Cantey, is ready to rooeivo the instalaent of tnx called for by (iov<!inor Hampton. From nonrly every county in the State comes a prompt response to this call, and wo earnestly hopti that Kershaw oounty, which did so much in tho opening of the Inst oam pa'gii to influeneo tho nomination of n '?straight-out" tiokot. will not fall be hind her sister counties in showing a real, tangible and substantial support of tho government they have establish jd. 1 ho call is for ouly ton per oent. of the amotaotof taxes pajd last year, and it would l?e a source of ptide to know that M>o people or tii'm oounty had paid in iheir quota within thirty dayg.. Blank Liknh for advances nnd for rent may be had at this offico. Our attention has. been repeatedly called to tlie uuifcaoeci existing id the streets of < Vindcti, io (lie shape of ped dler*, mho daily perambulate the princi pal thoroughfare with all rorts of things to sell. These parties are carrying oo a regular and daily traffic, without pay iojj one ccot of tax or liccnse, whilst others enguged in'business, and who have places of business, are compelled to pay their taxes. These oompluiuts have been in&do to us so oflen aud ema nate from such respectable business men that we feel it our duty to lay the mat ter before the Council. Sotnetbipj* should be uouc to stop this nuisauce, and if a peddler's license bo rajuired from all who engage in vending any ar ticle of tncrehandizo about the strr>o<s. other than wholesale dealers, we think the remedy would be successful in put ting u stop to this thing, nud at tho same time would add to the reveouo of the city. We bopo this matter, which certainly deserves consideration, will be attended to by Gouueil.
