This is economy in th? wrong1 direction, and the way to remedy the evil is to plant largely of corn while it; is yet time, work it faithfully, gather it, and keep it for consumption at home. An Error.? We stated in our last j issue that jjho town cluck had not struck i dinccthe Saturday before. This was a mistake. Owing to a slight derangement of the raachiuery, the clock had i failed for a short time to perform all of its functions.

Hut the Council lijfl since taken in and destroyed r>14 Mis to the nam ant of $8,277.00. This is a considerable discrepancy, and the in"Iuisitivc voter is led instinctively to inquire : Who is it that was paid to keep the books during the period of this over low of town money ? ?^ Primary Elections.?Whether or J iot we are to have primary elections in Kershaw , and. if so. when and where leld, by whrn conducted and by wl o?> he rc-nlt shall be d' cJared. are <|u<-8ions which should properly be decided >y a Convention of the people.
