1 Corn.?Many planter? ?e!l the orii1
of their own production, as soon as it is
gathered, at 75 cents and $100 pr
bushel, and the next spring and s-unmer
buy corn at $1.00 and $1.50 p*r^
bushel. 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. It was, however, repaired
in a few minutes, and now strikes as ^
loud as ever, ana Keeps as goo i time as
anything tlint can be devised by man.

Mt. Zion Baptist Church, on the Cheraw

and was addressed on the 17th instant >

showing that the taxes wore collected. t

Vkw l'osTOFFlCK.?Through tho in- (
drouuntalitv of Congressman Kvins, a
new po^tuffice, to he known as Turner
P. () . lias been established twelve miles ,
east of Camden directly on the Tiller's
Ferry route, with Mr Jesse K. Pearee
as postmaster. A large number of in- .
telligmt and patriotic citizens, who (
have hitherto had very limited tuail fa. (
cilitiop, arc thus brought within closer
communication with the rest of the ,
world. The proprietors of the Journal ;
have exerted their influence to have this |
office established. 1
A Painful Kkmindrr.?At the i
battle of HentnoviHc, in 1865, Mr. H"nrv
J. Munn, of this county, who was
then a private in Company 15, 7th
South Carolina Hattaliou, received n
severe wound in the wrist, both bones
being fractured. After suffering great
pain and irenv.niencc for more than
two years, Mr. Munn bad the gratification
of si-i ing bin Wound h-al up. Hut
a f. w we. I?s aj" a small u re came again
upon tie scat <>f the wound, and now
his ami is in no ucly condition. It is
imlenl a |tiio(ul reminder of the days
that tr id men's souls.

A Discrepancy.?The commission,
consisting of three citizens an i two
wardens, appointed by the Council to
ascertain how much town currency was
in ciiculation, submitted their report on
the 4th day of June, 1S77. slating that
thev had, besides overhauling the
records of the town, gone into every
nook and corner for inlbraiation, and
showing that the amount of currency in
circulation ought uot to have been more
than the sum of $.">,292 30. 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

Committee, to be chosen hereafter
or the ensuing two years. L?t the

ailed, which cannot be far in the fuure,
send up delegates who will reflect
