Dear Jounal : I will carry this
letter in uiy own hands as I go to Camden
to morrow to buy my grog for Christmas
You do not know how delightfully se*
raphicl feel at the prospect of driving
dull care away by a good big tight, and
1 ? norm onr) mv hlnod

courses rapidly when I look for Thursday
next, the 25th of December, the appointed
day.
% In this connection, permit nic to tender
my sincere thanks to "Zeb," at
Stateburir, for an exchange of sausages
? I would join him with pleasure, but I
am unable to pny my way that far down.
K and as my brother has not proffered to
V do so, I am forced, though reluctantly,
? to decline. This is a cut at the contracted
views of the Journal on temperance,
and I trust that you will receive
it.
The freshet has only added to the grpat
movement of our products to Columbia,
and I am truly sorry that Camden is
losing so heavily. It cannot be avoided
when vour merchants show so much
* * * - 1- J :i
lethargy, you editors bo mucu uemment
and your county managers so
much slewness.
I hope that next year we may be able
to bring into more tangible form the
great movement for the establishment
of Gary county. If this is done, once
more can we hope for the good old
times.
Well, dear Journal, 1 am living
high?sausages, peas, potatoes and 'possum
make me feel good, and tho little
bright spot in my life now casts away
off the gloom of last summer.
May you have a merry Christmas,
and may the new year be one of pros*
perity to the Camden Journal i* the
prayer of Black Jack.
P. S.?Pleaso give my visit to Camden
a personal notice. B. J.
Rod Bluff Hems.
Dear Journal : I have but little in
the way of news this week. I think
ever\body must have joined the church
and concluded to live a quiet life thereafter
and everything in this section ap?
r-.MJirs tn have been finished, for neither
the sound of the saw or the hammer is
to be heard in the land.
I am happy to say that we are better
off at present in the way of living than
at any other time this year We can
go out nearly any time and knock a
' razor back" pig in the head, then send
after a pint of old Kentucky Bourbon,
go out and call up the neighbors, and
in a short time you never saw such a
getting up as we have.
Our deputy tax collector reminds us
of the meteoric showers we were told to
be on the look out for?we are looking
and looking for him, but be don't
come.
I hope our Legislature will do something
in the way of curtailing the
salaries of public officers before they
adjourn Lessen our taxes. 60 that
when a man works hard all the year, plow
ing an old ox and only makes ODe bale
of cotton, he can have a little left after
paying taxes I have worked so lone
already for tax money that my ox is
' getting old and feeble now, and his
head is getting grey."
Wo noticed a piece io last week's
Journal from Buffalo, saying that
officer Haile drew up before my gate
and demanded a receipt or pay. Come,
now, Buffalo, you know I had a receipt
against that execution which you got
from the man down in Camden. I am
a poor judge, it is true, in regard to
work animals, but I'm hard to take on
their age. We also notice a piece from
Greybuck, where he speaks of that tax
collecting man, saying that he is coming
to see Red Bluff, and will bring
three pitchforks, and if he don't pay
up or show a receipt, he is going to
' level" on his horned horses. Now,
Greybuck, you tell that tax-collecting
man that if he intends to arrest those
horned horses, he had better bring along
a hamper of shucks instead of pitchfoft-c

Deah Journal : To be up with the
other portions of the county, I have determined
to fjive you a few itemB ftom
our section to let the people kDow that
we are still living, if we are far away
from town.
I met "Dick"' on last Sunday, and
he told mo that he had just come from
Beaver Dam Church, where he had
- *' n %r t
been to attend the wedding or iur. d
R Thorn and Mrs. Sallie Turner, all of
this county. He says that he was so well
pleased with things that it put him in the
notion of marrying, and that he intends
to take that finp iron grey and start our
on a tour to sec if he can't find souif
girl who will say yes?just to take pity
on him in his old age. Success to him !
Our whole Community is sadly bereaved
over the loss of Mr Daniel
McN'-ill, who died a few days ago, after
several years of affliction. The disease
was contracted while in the Confederate
service. He was a good, honest and
upright man. His funeral took place
from ilcLanc's Presbyterian Church,
and the sermon was preached by Rev.
Mr. Bradley.
Wo have had plenty of rain lately, j
a?d all of our sand hill branches arej
now full of water. If we could only
haye had snme <>f that rain during the
summer, I think our Dubbins of corn
wt'uld have hem a few inches longer?
full grown ears. 1
Our tar kiln section was startled a
few days ago by the arrival of an exTrial
Justice, and we thought we were
gone up, sure; but matters wpre soon
quieted when we foand out what was
the matter. He only wanted to see
whether we had paid our little mite into
the county treasury. We told him we
had. and he went off whistling.
We notice that "Greybuck" advises
"Fancy Dan" to try some of "Captain
Jack's" "alteration" for the toothache.
Come, now, "Greybuck," don't go it too
strong, or it may be that pitchfork man
will be after you soon to take you in for
some of your shortcomings.

THE SUN for 1880.
The Sun will deal with the events of
the year 1880 in its own fashion, now
pretty well understood by everybody.
From January 1 until December 31 it
will be conducted as a newspaper, written
in the English language, and printed
for the people.
As a newspaper, The Sun believes
in getting all the news of the world
promptly, and presenting it in the most
intelligible shape?the shape that will
enable its readers to keep well abreast
of the age with the least unproductive
expenditure of time. The greatest interest
to the greatest number?that is,
the law controlling its daily make up.
It dow has a circulation very much
larger than that of any other American
newspaper, and enjoys an income which
it is all times prepared to spend liberally
for the benefit of its readers. People
of all conditions of life and all ways of
thinking buy and read The Sun: and
they all derive satisfaction of some sort
from its columns, for they keep on buying
and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs,
The Sun believes that the odIj guide
of policy should be common sense, inspired
by genuine American principle?
and backed by hooesty of purpose. For
this reason it is and will continue to be.
absolutely independent of party, class
clique, organization, or interest It is
for all, but of none. It will continue
to praise what is good and reprobate
what is evil, taking care that its language
is to the point and plain beyond
the possibility of beiDg misunderstood
It is uninfluenced by motives that do
not appear on the surface; it has do
opinions to sell, save those which might
be had by any purchaser with two cents
It hates injustice and rascality even
more than it hates unnecessary word*.
It abhors frauds, pities fools and deplores
nincompoops of every species. It
will continue throughout the year 1880
to chastise the first class, instruct the
second and discountenance the third
All hon?st men, with honest convictions,
whether sound or mistaken, are its
friends. And The Sun makes no bones
of telling the truth to its friends whenever
occasion arises for plain speaking
These are the principles upon which
Tiie Sun will be conducted during the
year to come.
The year 1880 will be one in which
no patriotic American can afford to
close his eyes to public affairs. It is
impossible to exaggerate the importance
of the political events which it has in
store, or the necessity of resolute vigilance
on the partr of every citizen who
dpeires to preserve the Government that
the founders gave us. The debates and
acts of Congress, the utterances of the
press, the exciting contests of the Republican
and Democratic parties, now
nearly equal in strength throughout the
country, the varying drift of public
sentiment, will all bear directly and
effectively upon the twenty-fourth Presidential
election, to be held in November.
Four years ago next November
the will of the nation, as expressed at
the pells, was thwarted by an abominable
conspiracy, the promoters and beneficiaries
of which hold the offices they
i tir-u .1 /? 1 n
stoio. win tne crime or ioiu De again
repeated in. 1880 ? The past decade of
years opened with a corrupt, extravagant
and insolent Administration entrenched
at Washington. The Sun did
something towards dislodging and
breaking its power. The same men are
now intriguing to restore their leader
and themselves to places from which
they were driven by the indignation of
the people. Will they succeed ? The
coming ytar will bring the answers to >
these momentous questions. The Sun
will be on hand to chronicl- the facts as
they are developed, and to exhibit them
clearly and fearleesly in their relations
to expediency and right.
Thus, with a habit of philosophical
good humor in looking at the minor
affairs of life, and in great things a
steadfast purpose to maintain the rights

Ib a compound of the virtues of Rarsaparilla,
stillingia, mandrake, yellow dock,
with the iodide of potash and iron, all powerful
blood-making, blood-cleansing, and
life-sustaining elements. It is tho jiurest,
saiest, ami in every way me most eoauw alterative
medicine known or available to
the public. The sciences of medicine and
chemistry have never produced so valuable
a remedy, nor oue so potent to euro
all diseases resulting from impure blood.
It cures Scrofula, and all scrofulous

By its searching and cleansing qualities
it purges out the foul corruptions which
contaminate the blood, and cause derangement
and decay. It stimulates and
enlivensthe vital functions. It promotes
energy and strength. It restores and preserves
health. It infuses new lifo and
vigor throughout tho whole system. No
sufferer from any disease which arises from
