One of the disconcerting effects of the town of Kershaw and the county ?*f Kershaw- being similar in name, is Hie eon fusion that arises in the selection of Lancaster "county citizens to repre sent Kershaw <x>u:rty in various capaci ties. I'n too many instance^, beyoud the limits of Jverehaw ciiunty, it is under sold when a citixeu of the town gives his resident as Kertfhaw that it has reference to the county of Kershaw. The territory of the town, under the most recent survey, is about equally dis tributed between Lancaster and Kershaw counties, but by far the larger propor tion of the inhabitants reside within the ?MUi'ty of Lancaster. Sentiment might otiose sucl a change, but it would have Im^mi far more satisfactory if the town, being in dual Counties, had bee;? given h different name. 4 Ji v?- the whole garden plot :i i??avy application of manure.
