Fleming, of Plowden's Mill Township, found a $2.50 gold piece in his meal just after the corn had been ground at a mill last week. He says that he did not drop the coin himself, because he had no gold of any kind, and that no one else was abont his corn or the mill. Just how the coin got into the meal is a mystery. Fresh arrival of erackt rs and all kinds of cakes at Johnson's. M.Ir J. N. Chewning, a young farmer of the Jorlan section, planted an extra acre of cotton this year to see how much he could make on it. He cultivated the acre in the ordinary way, used 400 pounds of guano and 35 buxhels of cotton seed, and the re stilt was a harvest of 2,005 pounds of seed cotton. He wants to know who can beat it. Golden machine oil for gins and mills at Dinkins & Co.'s drug store. At a special meeting of St. Peters Lodge No.54 A. F.

It will also guard and- watch his premises and not allow a black boy to go into the yard. Mr. Lesesne prizes the deer highly and has refused sev eral good offers for him. Sires & Chandler have just received a sup ply..of elegant willow rocking chairs, suita ble for Christmas presents. A party of twelve young ladies and gen tlemen from this town attended a reception given last Friday night at the closing of the Jordan school. They travelled in the style known as a "-straw ride, and as there were fourteen persons in one wagon the accounts given by' them of the trip are varied and interesting. One young man says there was but one wisp of straw between him and the bottom of the wagon. They all say they en joyed it though. An elegant line of colognes, extracts. toilet soaps, face powders, hair brushes, combs, tooth brushes, and other toilet re quisites at Dinkins & Co.'s. Several of our subscribers at country post offces have complained recently about being 'uable to get their papers, and when at last they do receive them they have the appear ance of having beea much handled by oth er persons. We regret to be forced to com plain of this sort of thing, but there is a time when patience ceases to be a virtue, and we must remind the several postmasters that when a paper is addressed to a party it is private property, and intended for the party to whom it is addressed. There is a certain class of people that merit the name of "dead beats," and any man that will go to the postoffice and call for his neighbor's paper instead of subscribing for it himself, lad just as well go to a store and buy a suit of clothes on his neighbor's account without his knowledge or consent. We are very particular with our mailing lists, and mis takes are exceedingly rare, so if a subscrib er fails to get his paper the fault is not with us, but with the postmaster that gives the paper to some person other than to whom it is addressed. Schwerin & Co., of Sumter. ask that their Clarendon friends get their prices before buying elsewhere. They claim that good money will thus be saved. Several ladics in the northern portion of the town were very much exercised over what they supposed to be a large meteor passing throngh the skies last Sunday night. This supposed-to-be-meteor resembled a large ball of fire, and so excited was one of the ladies that it would have been difficult to have told which was larger, the lady's eyes or the supposed meteor. All attempts to quiet her proved fruitless, as she was fuil ly convinced that it was a precursor ot soethmng awful that would soon follow, and her husband being away from the house at the time she was -afraid that his poor, dear body migzht come in contact with the "big ball of fire" or be buried amid the ruins of the destruction it would soon make. She was awfully worried, and her hair was red with excitement. WVhen she learned that a balloon had been sent up by a little boy that lives on Main street, and after being convinced that the supposed meteor was the same little balloon, and that her darling husband was all right, she quieted down, simply remarking tnat little boys should not be allowed to send up balloons on Sun M. Kalisky has perfected arrangements by which he can pay the highest prices Tor all kinds of hides, skins, and furs. Fork Dots. Messrs. Ashby McFaddin, Bobbie Alder man, and Willie Reams are home from col lege spending Christmas.

Kalisky has a beautiful lot of parlor lamps cheap. The students of the Manning Collegiate Institute gave a very pleasant entertainment last Monday night. There were over three hundred persons present, and the children acquitted themselves handsomely. Johnson has a nice lot of pure mountain butter. The cotton market is at present in a very low condition, but it is to be hoped that af ter the holidays the buyers will be able to give higher prices. It has been estimated that at least one third of the crop is still ir the hands of the farmers waiting for the staple to bring a living price. Kalisky has just received a fresh lo of cakes and crackers of all kinds. In giving the list of executive appoint ments confirmed by the senate Monday night the News and (burier has C. C.

The wind was blowing very hard, and just as Mr. Butler was driving by a dead trce, he saw it start to fall directly across his path. He whipped his horse, and the tree struck the rear end of the wood on his wagon, throwing it all off the wagon. and throwing Mr. Butler about ten feet. He caught on his feet, and sustained no harm to self or wag on, but it was a close call. Catarrh is not a local but a constitutional disease, and requires a constitutional reme dy like Hood's sarsaparilla to effect a cure. A Brilliant Marriage at Fulton. Smv., Dec. 2.-The world to-day is as full of enjoyment as ever. Pleasure abounds, the young folks are merry, hopeful, and lively- E-ery advancement amid one's cheeuered pathway is strewn with beautiful garlands, and they rejoice no-'Aly with the present, but console the mind that-pkasure abounds. On the 17th, by special invitation from the g-oom, early in the morning I arranged to be one to witness the marriage of Mr. A. C. Briags, Silver's most popular young mer chant, to Miss Elise Brailsford, one of Ful ton's most handsome and attractive young ladies. The morning was dark and gloomy; no sunsbine; the wind blew a blizzard; ev erything looked dreary and cold: for once we longed for old Sol's bright rays, a little warmth tocheer us on, the way, but alas, the dee e wawr otherwise, so in making the trip we had one of the most unpleasant and disagreeable trips we have ever made to a marriage. About midway from Silver to Fulton we met with a misfortu2ne. Our road cart dropped Judge Mahoney and your scribe in the road. But, thanks to kind friends, we got to Fulton in time to witness one of the most brilliant marrage processions we have ever seen. The ceemony took place in St. Marks Episcopal church. This is a hand some brick building. built in times of wealth, and is f~irnished with elaborate pews. A warm fire from the stove raised us from our frozen state, put new life into us, and in spired a readiness to discharge that trust imposed by the Tixzs. It was not long ere the groom, attended by his lovely bride and groomsmen and bridesmaids, made their appesrance at the church. Rev. J. B. Kershaw robed in white gown stood within the chancel awaiting the party. Mrs. J. C. Manning beautifully ren dered Mendlessohn's wedding march as two 'by two they entered, marching up the aisle. The church was handsomely festooned with evergreens around and about the bell under which stood the bride and groom. The solemn words of the minister making them man and wife fell like dew drops upon the audience. The groom wore a costly black cutaway. The bride looked1 very sweet in a dress of heliotrope henrietta cloth, plush trimmings and toque to match, Mr. B.M. Moore was attended by Miss Camilla Briggs, who wore red and gold plaid trimmed with red velvet and gold braid, Nellie Bly cap. Mr. P. H. Tate, of Vances, attended by Miss Nannie Richardson, who wore blue velvet with panels of brocaded silk, blue velvet hat with pink ostrich tips, diamonds and silver. Mr. J. H. Dingle attended by Miss Hen nie DesChamps. Her costume was scarlet henrietta, black velvet trimmings. Capt. A. L. Lesesne attended by Miss Annie Brailsford, a charming debutante, beautiful costume of navy blue flannel, ruby ornaments and diamonds, black straw hat with ribbon to match. Mr. W. G.

Every one repaired to the residence of the bride's mother, where we enjoyed a delight ful dinner, embracing every variety of food provided on such occasions: all manner of meats and delicacies of every kind. The bride received many handsome and costly presents. The day, although severely cold, passed off unusually pleasant to all visitors, and we can only pray heaven's choicest blessing to rest for days to come on the new y m,.ari couple -rom Church Matters. Quarterly conference was held last Satnr day and Sun(lay in the Methodist church. Rev. E. T. Hodges, presiding elder, pr'.ch ed each day and Sunday night. An ituportant church conference will be held next Sunday rorning in the Mthodist church. The stewards will then present a printed report, showing how much each member was assessed and how much he paid the past year, and how the money was disbursed. The assessment of each mem ber for the ensuing year will also be made, and other important matters acted on. Ev ery member of the church should be pres ent at this conference, as it will probably be the most important of the year. CHILDREN ENJOY The pleasant flavor, gentle action. and sooth ing effects ot syrup of figs, when in need of a laxative, and if the father or mother be costive or bilious the most gratiting results follow its use, so that it is the best flhmily remedy known, :and every family should have a bottle. K. of P. At a meeting of t, Endowment Rank, K. of P.. last Thursday evening, Dr. W. E. Brown was elected president; P. B. Mouzon, vice president; and S. A. Nettles, secretary. The same night the following officers were elected for Damon Lodge, K. of P., for the ensuing term: J. H. Lesesne, C. C.; J. M. Knight, V. C.; S. M. Clarkson, Prelate; . I. Banal, K. of R. and S.; B. A Johnson, M. of F.; A. Weinberg, M. of E.; and F. 0. Richardson, M. at A. Jos. Sprott, Jr.. and John S. Wilson were elected delegates to the grand lodge. It was Ben Johnson, we believe, who, when asked Mallock's question, "Is life worth living?" replie<1, "That depends on the liver." And Ben Johnson doub:less saw the double point to the pun. The liver ac tiva-quick -life rosy, everything bright, mountains of trouble melt like mountains of snow. The liver sluggish-life dull, ev erything blue, molehills of worry rise into mountains of anxiety, and as a result-sick headache, dizziness, constipation. Two ways are open. Cure permanently, or re liefe temporarily. Take a pill and suffer, or take a pill and get well. Shock the sys tem by an overdose, or coax it by a mild, pleasant way. Dr. Pierce's pleasant pellets are the mild means. TLey woru effectively, without pain, and leave the system sthrong. One, little, sugar-coated pellet is enough, although a whole vial costs but 25 cents. Mild, gentle, soothing, and healing is Dr. Sage's catarrh remedy. Only 50 cents; by druggists. MUST REDUCE STOCK.

One Fact Is Worth a Thousand Argo nents-Science Prevails-What Royal Verniet tier has Done. The remarkable cures with "Royal Germ etuer" are astonishing the world. Rev. T. C.

OFFICE COUNTY AUDITOR, CLARENDON COUNTY. Manning, S. C.. Dec. :L 1890. THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE WILL be open from the tirst day of Jan uary, 1891. to the twentieth day of February. 1891, to receive returns of real and personal property for taxa tion in Clarendon county for the year 1891, and for the convenience of tax payers will have deputies at each of the places named below to receive re turns for the said year: Pinewood, Monday, Javuary 5th, 1891. Packsville, Tuesday, Janaary 6th, 1891. Panola, Wednesday, January 7th, 1891. Summerton, Thursday, January 8, 1891. David Levi's Store, Friday. January 9, 1891.

Smith's, Thursday, January 22, 1891. A good way for the taxpayer who has much property to return, is to make a memorandum of the number of horses, cattle, mules, sheep and goats, hogs, watches, organs and pi anos, buggies, wagons and carriages, dogs, merchandise, machinery, mon eys, notes and accounts (above indebt edness), furniture, &c., which will save the taxpayer time, and enable the as sessor to progress in the work. Taxpayers return what they own on the first day of January, 1891. - Assessors and taxpayers will enter the first given name of the taxpayer in full, also make a separate return for each party for the township the property is in, and where the taxpay er owns realty to insert the postoffice as their place of residence, and those who only own personal property to give the party's name who owns the land they live on as their residence, which aids the taxpayer as well as the county treasurer in making the col lection and preventing errors. Every male citizen between the ages of twenty-one and fifty years on the first day of January, 1891, except those incapable of earning a support from being maimed, or from other causes, shall be deemed taxable polls. All returns that are made after the twentieth day of February next have to be placed on the additional list and fifty per cent. penalty added thereto, unless prevented by sickness or out of the county during the time of list ing. Not knowing the time of list-ing is no excuse. And all owners of real estate might do their tenants who cannot read or take a newspaper, a great favor by making their returns or telling them the time of listing, and that if they fail to make their re turns in time that the valuation has to be increased fifty per cent. unless they have a good excuse. The assessing and collecting of tax es is all done now in the same year, and we have to aggregate the number and value of all the horses, cattle, mules, &c., -a well as the acres of land, lots and buildings and their val ue, that there is in th-ecnit-, and have same on file in the Comptroller General's office by the thirtieth day of June each year. And from that time to the first day of October each year the auditor's and treasurer's du plicate has to be completed and an abstract of the work in the Comp troller's office by that time, which will show at a glance that the audit or has no time to take in returns, or do anything else much, between the first day of March and the first day of October each year, but work on the books and blanks. Ther-efore hope that all taxpayers will do us the favor of making their returns in time. DANIEL J. BRADHAM, Auditor Clarendon County. W. J. Black, Sales Stables. Removed to cor.
