Five sinners have received their re spective rewards in the mayor’s court since Tuesday. Fayette Alexander, a colored indi vidual who is by no means a stranger in the city court room, had an alter cation with bis spouse a few days ago and at once proceeded to^ “correct” her in no gentle manner. As a con sequence it soon became his turn to be “corrected” by Mayor Littlejon. Fayette claimed that he was justified in chastising his better half, but His Honor thought otherwise aud taxed him a V' or twenty-five days labor on the gang. Fayette went to the gang, but soon succeeded in getting him self released from custody, lu all probability the woman he had beaten got up the money and paid his line— they generally do in such cases. Farrow Kirby, colored, who works at the lime kilns, was next arranged (in his absence) for disturbing re ligious worship and using language not found in any standard books of the time at or near the colored Baptist church on Sunday. Farrow was tried in his absence and a fine of $7.50 was imposed upon him. It was linaliy decided, though, to have him in court and an officer was sent for him. For this trouble and expense $2.50 more v;as added to ids fine and thus uiado ir, $10 00. .The montv was pai l and Farrow vowed he would u°ver ho guilty of such conduct again. That, however, was before the money was made up for his fine. A white man was next on the roll call to answer to a charge of drunken ness. He was guilty of the charge and paid $2.00 for his jag, above the cost of the liquor. The last case was against a young white man for taking on too much “chemically pure.” His fine was placed at $3 75 or fifteen days on the streets. The money was paid. Anna Foster, a colored “lady” whose principal occupation is walk ing the streets and wearing line clothes, was up for creating a dis turbance at a “fcstibul” Saturday night, or on the way from it. She probably proved that she was more “sinned against than sinning,” or, else, the mayor from the nature of the case, and from the evidence, con sidered that she had already been sufficiently punished, as the charges against her were dismissed. A McCormick Itlmfcr on Kxhlblt, Messrs. J. 0. Lipscomb <fc Bro., of this city, have issued invitations to the public in general, and to the farmers of Cherokee county especi- ally, to attend an exhibition of the famous McCormick wheat harvester on Wednesday, June 19th, on the farm of Mr. W. 0. Lipscomb near the city. The McCormick binder and harvester seems to be gaining quite a reputation for itself among Cherokee farmers and on more occa sions than one has proven its right to the praise bestowed upon- it. Messrs. Lipscomb & Bro. are satis fied, themselves, as to the work it will do, but they wish to prove its merits to the farmers of the county, and for that purpose they will have it on exhibition at the time and place mentioned above, when all who are interested are invited to see it In operation. A OulTuejr Hoy at Furman. The commencement proper of Fur man University, in Greenville, took place Wednesday night in the Jnd- ■on Memorial hall of the university. There were nine graduates, one of the number being Allison P. Hickson, son of Rev. F. C. Hickson of our city. Mr. Hickson graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and besides the honors which have just been conferred upon him, he has distinguished himself in other ways elected A :^ q 5;'®®' of this city, was alumni assSof* ^ member of the vtrsity for the olR. °f Furmac Uni- year.

Mr. Potter is the new pastor of the Presbyterian church in this city. He is a young man and comes well recommended. In fact he is regarded as one of the best ministers in the Presbytery which he has just left, and it was largely due to the malaria in the district from which Mr. Potter comes that the Presbyterians of Gaffney were enabled to secure his services. Mr. and Mrs. Potter will receive a warm welcome in Gaffney. They will occupy Mrs. Sophia Goode’s residence on Jefferies street. Mr. Potter will hold his first service next Sabbath morning and a cordial invitation is extended the public to attend. A Novel Sl|{lit. It was quite a novel sight, and one rather unusual in this part of the country that met the eyes of passers by Mr. W. L. Morgan’s place, near the city, Wednesday. The novel sight was Miss Willie Morgan, the twelve-year-old daughter of Mr. Mor gan, driving a McCormick right-hand binder in her father's field. It was in the nature of a test of the ma chine and demonstrated the fact that it was so constructed as to bo easily operated, even by a child. Miss Wil lie proved herself thoroughly compe tent to manage fie machine. CMldreiiH Day PxerclMea. The Childrens Day ( xercises of the Buford Street M.
