Mr. Brun two amiable daughters, Misses .. and S. Mu were married by Rev. 3.Bass to Messrs. W. H. and J. WV. : son, brothers, in the order named. Mr. Brunson is the father of a large family of daughters, and has lived to see them all happily married. John Garvin, who it will be remem bered was arrested here some weeks ago, after an exciting chase, and car ried to Charleston, subject to seal ed sentence, has been discharged by Judge Pressley, on a writ of Habeas copus. The grounds of the discharge were that Garvin had been tried and convicted before ever having been ar rested or committed for trial. The growing of tobacco in the State is receiving full attention from the de partment of Agriculture. Comnmis sioner Butler, on the recommendation of ommittees. appointed for that par. , ose, has appointed one farmer in every County to make practical tests of the adaptability of the soil of their respective Counties. Dr Jno. I. In ram has been selected to make the experiment in Clarendon. Dr. Ingrami is a successful farmer wvith a large ex ex5erience, and will be sure to suc Our columns are largely occupied this week with official advertisements. The reports of the Treasurer and School Commissioner should be of unusual interest to the reading public. It is important that those who pay the taxes, should know for what purposes their money is expended, and for this reason these annual publications are required. It is to be hoped they will receive attention, and if any one be lieves he detects extravagance or wil ful mismanagement, let him take ad vantage of the liberal opportunity of fered to expose the wrong. We can see no wrong ourselves, and it affords us pleasure to accord due praise to these officials.. The horse attached to Mr. Carr's wagon became frightened to-day while passing near Mr. Stehle's bakery and dashed forward, driving one shaft into a mule standing in a wagon near by. The shaft penetrated to the heart and the mule died almost in stantly. Its owner was a colored man from Clarendon, we are informed. Watchman and Southern. We sympathize with the loser of the mule, who is one among the well to do and responsible colored men of the County.-Ed. Note the Difference. You may be able to get a large city weekly filled with murders, scandal cases, cock fights, etc., for the same money you pay for your local papers. but these city weeklies never adver tise your county, and make your prop erty valuable. They do not help along your schools and churches; they do not publish your county news; they say nothing of you and your town, and have no interest in you. A good news paer is as much of an advantage to a town as are good schools. If one of our farmer friends should step into one bf these city offices, he would find out in two minutes that he bad no cordial welcome there such as he would receive in a printing office at home. Stand by home papers. They stand by you, and are ever on the lookout for your interests.- Tiaes and Democrat. Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly For February is all that its patrons can desire. The articles vary in character and treatment, are all interesting and timely. and all well illn-rate 1. Mr Co'it's article on the late William H. Vanderbilt gives a striking picture of the career and life of the greatest American millionaire, and the read er can jnlge for himself of the man. his pal ac, his gallery, his stables and his tomb. Mrs. Lew Wallace, the talented wife of our geni-ral and diplomatist, contributes a very striking romance. "A Fair Client's Story." The well-known novelist, Christian Reid, gives one of her striking stories, "A Passgin Idvl." "The Home of the Noted Indian I Chief, Cornplanter." is very pleasantly des cribed and be-!ntifuUv illustrated by Mrs. Calista Ingersoll Gara. In "The Story of the Mi who wrote Robinson Crusoe," Noel Rthven takes us back to England in the' time of De Foe. "Thibet," as described by Charles H. Lepper, gives the reader a knowl edge of what will be England's next annex ation. R. S. Tarr describes the "Past and Present of a New England Fishing Town ;' Frank Norton, "Irregular troops." Mrs. M. A. Denison (Author of "That Husband of Mine.") C. L. Hildreth, Henry Tyrrell, Cathie ,Jewett, J. F. Nicholl, contribute sto ries and poec's. "Telpherage," the last ap plication of clectricity for transporting freight, will be read with interest ; and all. readers will follow Dta W. P:erce's novel. "Daughters of Cain ." The illustrations of this number are all striking an d good. News From Sammy Swamp. S.uca Swizi, S. C., Jan. 18th '86. Mr. Editor: I am really ashamed to wite to you after such a long silence' but hope that you will agree with me in thinking that "It is better late than never." There has been nothing to write about, except the Tournament and Ball, given by the "Connor Mount ed Rifles" during the holidays, and I was unfortunately absent besides, you published a good account of it, or rather them. There were fewer entertainments during the last holidays in this neigh borhood, than there have been for years past. Have you ever played "Move kitch en furniture ?" WVell, that is what the negroes in this community have been doing since Jan. 1st, they seem to object very much to hiring them selves this year, and some gentlemen of the neighborhood have not vet hired a farm hand. Capt. Br'iggs has hired all white men for this year, who, so far, have given great satisfaction' Last Friday some person set a tur pentine tree on fire, on the place of Mr. Levi, formerly owned by Capt. Y. N. Butler, and the tire spreading very rapidly, burnt up all the fences and badly injure~d all the timber. Misses Ella Butler of Manning, and Carrie Hudson, of Greeleyviile, were vising friends in this vicinity last week--their departure was attended bv many regrets. Public schools closed in this Town ship on the 8th of this month, after a session of two months-the longest term that they have lasted in Sammy Swamp Township for a good many years past. What a pity it is, that they can not last for a full term, as there are so many deserving children 'who can't afford to attend pay schools -besides, it is very discouraging to teachers to have their schools either broken up, or sadly reduced in num bers, by the closing of the free schools. Colds have been very prevalent since the late bad freeze, and the far mers have been very blue because their oats were killed by the freeze, besides the winter gardens have been ruined. What has become of all your form er correspondents ? They have beezi getting "beautifully less" for some time past. I do not feel quite so bad ly because of my unpardonable neg lect and laziness, when I see that some of my fellow correspondents have been equally as remiss in their duty as my self. I hope they will join me in re solving to do better, and stand up boldly for the welfare of our Tiorms, and do all in our power to aid in its prosperity. Knowing that you object to lengthy articles, I will close. SAuMM SwaMP. The Weather and Other Matters. F7LTo\, S. C., January 25, 1886. Mr. EDITOR : The terribly cold weather which we have been enduring lately, and which the prophets predict will return this winter, seems to have prolucel the same effect on news as on business-it has stoir ped them both. Such weather has never before been felt in this neighborhood-not even by that INFALLII (?) character, "the oldest inhabitant," who heretofore has never been heard to acknowledge that in his ear. ly days -which are always beyond the Ken of anybody else living-he has not seen the thermometer at least ten degrees lower. It has entailed very serious losses on many of those who had'grain in the ground, and on those who own stock-which at this time of year are forced to repair for food to the swamps, where they subsist on the cane tops found there. The former was all kil led-and it will necessitate an entire re planting of the whole grain crop. Numbers of cattle and hogs were caught unawares in the swamps, by the unprecedented rapid rise of the Water, and perished before they could be rescued. I amt reliably informed that _1r. Jas. P. Weeks of this vicinity was so unfortunate as to lose all of his stock-in cluding 35 or 40 head of cattle, and a large number of hogs. By another gentleman whose loss was also very great, was told. that for several days, the carcasses of large numbers of hogs and cattle could be seen floating down the river alongside of ice bergs half the size of a house. "But it's an ill-wind that blows nobody good," and even this unpleasant snap brought pleasure and enjoymont to some, in the shape of delightful skating on the ponds of the neighborhood --all of which were well frozen over, in many instances, to the depth of six inches. Ice-skating had never been seen by niany of the people in this section, and was apparantly much enjoyed by them --large numbers congregating every evening to see it, and to laugh over the ludicrous at tempts of those novices who could be induc ed to get on the treacherous steel. Besides the weather, the only topic of con versation around Fulton for some time past, has been the recent amendment to the ien law. Various opinions in regard to it are held. but all seem to agree in thinkin:: tha it is the opening wedge which will eventual ly split to pieces a law which has been pro ductive of much irreparable loss to our State. The public schools of this district, of which there are seven colored and three white, have been in a flourishing condition since the first of last November, but will :lose soon on account of lack of f-inds. Somet >f them, however, will be continued as pri ate tnst~itions. Saturday last was the day appointed by the Auditor for making tax returns at Ful ton. By the present systeim parties are re uir-ed to certify to their returns under oath -fox merly this oath was an understood mat ter. The cold weather has been productive of much sickness up here, but nothing serion as yet. PHI ALPHA. Broken Bones, "I know a man whose bones are almost as brittle as glass," was remark ed to an Atlanta man the other day. "His bones wvere so brittle that ini throwing a stone lie broke his arm between the shoulder and elb.:,w. I knew another man," continued the seaker," who kicked at a dog and broke his thigh. Investigation showed that both these men had been taking ho-ge quantities of mercur-y, and for quite a time. If they had been under the treatment of good physicians to regulate the dose and quantity, it would no doubt have been all right, bt they had been taking nostrumis containing such poisonous drugs as merury, potash, etc., and had fatally impaired their health." These cases are beyond the reach of S. S.S. or any other remedy, but they might have been saved if they had taken the right medicine. Mr. Thomas H. Morgan, of Ogiethorpe, Ga., says that he suf fered many years from mineral pois oning and had a terrible mercurial sore on his leg which his doctor thought would render ampantation necessary. He objected to the cutting and took Swift's Specific instead. The result is that he is entirely well, has two good legs, and is in better health than for many y-ears. For sale by all di-uggists.

This question of "Evolution" or where man came from, seemns to us not half so important as "dissolution," or' where he is to go. The latter should cert ainly be the- great matter of con cern in a spiritual point of view, and under an American systemn in tempor al matters it mnakea very little differ ene wherme he came fi-rm so he is a man after he gets here.
