Progressive city. The county commissioners were in session yesterday, and paid off a num ber of past-indebtedness claims. The State fair meets in Columbia next week, November 10 to 13, in clusive. The railroads will sell tick ets at reduced rates. To-morrow noon Mr. Smith Nelson will be married to Miss Annie Plow den, at the residence of her father, Capt. Edgar Plowden. Warrington Oliver, of Foreston, a lad about twelve years of age, met with a serious accident yesterday by being thrown from a mule and break ing his arm. The town council at their meeting Monday night extended the time for the collection of street tax to Decem ber first. Those not paying by that date will be dealt with according to law. The town council have been consid ering the advisability of purchasing a lot and moving the market house out of the street. This would be a step in the right direction, because the present site of the market house is an eye-sore, and ought to be removed. Owing to the decline in the price of cotton the receipts at this place fell off considerably the past week. Some of our farmers are unwilling to sell at present prices, and are going to hold. One prominent farmer stored thirty-four bales in Manning last Monday, and had them insured against fire, to hold for better prices. What has become of the canning factory project? We hope that the parties that were enthusiastic over the project the past summer have not lost their zeal, and will continue push ing it. There can be no doubt that if the matter is pushed properly it will succeed and do lots of good, not only to the town, but the whole coun ty will feel its benefits. Buntin, split, and four-fold zephyr, in all shades, at Rigby's. Last night at ten o'clock fire was discovered in the post office by Mr. R. M. Dean. He gave the alarm im mediately, and in a few minutes a -crowd gathered and extinguished the flames. The fire is believed to have an incendiary origin, as it was in the mail boxes where there was a number of newspapers. Considerable dam age was done to the plastering and the mail boxes, but no mail was lost, as the postmaster had already given the mail to the carrier, and had only left the office a few minutes before the fire was discovered. An elegant line of holiday goods such as fine plush albums, decorated vases, cups and saucers, toilet sets, lamps, and chil dren's picture books, at Dinkins & Co.'s drug store, Last Thursday night the dwelling house known as the White house, on Santee, belonging to Mr. 3. Henry Childers, was destroyed by fire. Mr. Childers and his wife were in Charles ton attending the gala week festivi ties at the time of the fire, and knew nothing of their misfortune until they arrived home on Saturday. The col ored people on the place saved from the building a small amount of bed ding that was in a front room, every thing else in the house was destroy ed. The house was insured by two parties. Mr. Childers holding bond for title had a policy for seven hun dred and fifty dollars, and Dr. S. C. C. Richardson, who holds the title to the property, had a policy for five hundred dollars. This state of affairs may possibly complicate matters when the companies go to settle the claim. The question of who will be the proper one to settle with will have to be decided Hood's Pills cure constipation by restor ing the peristaltic action of the alimentary canal. They are the best family cathartic. Death Would Separate. Peneope-Oh yes he's nice enough, rich enough, and aristocratic enough, but Perdita-But what ? Penelope-He is so nearly an angel I should never expect to meet him in the hereafter. ITS EXCELLENT QUALITIES Commend to public approval the California liquid fruit remedy Syrup of Figs. It is pleasing to the eye, and to the taste and by gently acting on the kidneys, liver, and bowels, it cleanses the system effectually, thereby promoting the health and comfort of all who use it. Her Only Way. Penelope: '"Why in the world did you elope with him; was that the only way you could get your family to consent to his marrying you ?" Perdita: "Oh, dear, no; that was the only wvay I could get his consent to marry me." THAT LITTLE TICKLING In your throat, which makes you cough once in a while and ke-epa you constantly clearing yonr thrmot. arises from catarrh, and as catarrh is a constitutional aisease the ordinary congh medicines all fail to hit the spot. What you need is - constitution al remedv like Hood's Sarseparilla. Many p~eople wvho have taken this medicine for scrofuia, dyspepsia. los~s of appetite, and other troubles, have been surprised that it should cure this troublesome caugh. But to know the actual cause of tae cnongh is to solve the mlista-ry. Many cases of consump tion can be traced back to the neglect of some such slight affectionl as this. Con snpion can be controlledi in its early stages, arnd the effect of Hood's Sarsaparilla in purifying the blood, building up thel eneral health, and expelling the scrofu-1 Ius taint which is the cause of catarrh and consumption, has restored to perfect health many persons on whom this dreaded dis se seemed to have a drm hold. . - Odd Pants for Men and Boys. - Knee Pants from 25 cents to $1.25.
