J Borrowing Papers. The Titnes hns recently heard complaints from a number of its subscribers abput people borrowing their papers before they [ the ^ sucscribers] had read them. This practice, it is said, hus been going pn for some time ill the Pleasant. Valley section and to such an ex>tent as to sometimes cause the papers to bo lost or considerably tie. layed in reaching their destination, Sonic months ago this paper supported a certain gentleman for ; congress, cpntiniy to the will of a number of its Pleasant Valley subscribers and, for revenge, they decided to break up the paper, or lli litQui ii\ llAtUfAt i it 111 tlitkt ...w v ftvuoi' vvs uyj v^til t it ill tlldl' Hl'U" tioa by discontinuing thoir subMcriptions mid inducing others to do(likewise. But thpt tlioy wore unsuccessful is proven by the fact tljat wo are Htill here and eopjiiiue to circulate a goodly number of papers in the Pleasant Valley section. Failing in their efforts to squash the pappr and not possessed with enough manhood to renew their subscriptions, these very people? The Tifnes boycotters?are the ones who practice the borrowing -pro< esp. This is a ease of "whipping the dovil a roped the stump," and is pot only an imposition upon the Bubscriher who pay for the paper but also upon the publishers, who are supposed to furnish one paper one year to one address for one dollar. Our subscription hooks are open to all and we will be glad to pend the paper to each of these "borrowers," if they will only notify ub, and thereby out a stop this uncalled for imposition. r?

"Mr. .John Jones of South Carolina is here," 1 "Miss Alice Smith left yesterday for South Carolina." These are samples. It boons to be the idea that South Carolina is so mo little locality down tho railroad fixm which people occasionally slip off . to Charlottoand Asheville to spend 1 money, not having any town at i home in which to spend it.

In announcing a marriage it is not noees ary to say that the. in! toresting event occurred at the home of the bride's parents. You j might as well say that it was not a : runaway match. In writing the death of anyone, ' it i-< not necessary to say, that his sons and daughters 'were left to mourn his loss.' They may have i heeii left f< - other purposes. At I any rate the expression is stern | typed, useless and about worn out. In announcing the dentil of a young person it is not necessary to say, he, or she, was a son, or a daughtor,of "Mr. and Mrs.' John Smith. In a Christum land, and in polite society it is not usually necessary to certify to the maternity of John Smith's sons or daughters.
