Remember also the fate of Banks Perry, Jr., who began a three years’ term on the chain gang last Wednes day for killing Wm. Marsh. This was also caused by whiskey. Thimc of the dead, the hardships of the con vict, the pangs of grief of the dear ones of the living and dead, and shun the paHis that if. pursued, will surely, sooner or later, bring them all on you and yuurs Klein Wilkins, colored, was carried to the penitentiary to serve a term of fifteen mouths fur breaking into a ne gro’s store. He is a cripple and goes on crutches. T'anu Work Kvlilnd. Our farmers have seldom teen more backward with their work than now. A little plowing was done Wednesday, but the rain came Wednesday night and made the ground too wet again. There will hardly be any plowing done this week now. The ground has been so wet that very little gardening has been done. With the winter sown oats kiMed. wheat looking bad and no plowing being done, our farmers are looking a little blue. But lots of work is in them and no people ever had a stronger inclination to do it, so when they gets chance things will be •shaoed up quickly. Cherokee farm ers are quick and are good in emer gencies. THE REVIVAL. I»r < iit-ri-Hiit Pr»Mvbing Strong ‘.iii-I . , ble Svrim*i)(» to l.:irg« Congrvgittioii.') The Rev. Dr. Guerrant, a disting uished Presbyterian divine of Ken tucky arrived in the city on the last of last week, and on last Friday be gan a series of meetings in the Pres byterian church, since which time he has held two services each day. one in the forenoon and oce in the eve ning. In all of these services the congregations have been deeply im pressed win Dr Guerrant’s strong and able sermons, forcibly delivered and with his d"ep piety and great earnestness in his work While the congregations have not been large at the foreno-m services, he has had iarge congregations at th»- evening tervices, anri a deep r terest is being manifested in the meeting.

THE HUSTLERS. In Battery Old Stand. South Carolina Day at the Exposition. The Exposition at Charleston.seems to be attracting a great deal of atten tion from the people of the country at large. Cincinnati and Chicago have sent large delegations there to inspect the show. The governors of Georgia, West Virginia and Indiana have bean there with their staffs and others, and all seem to unite on one verdict, that it is as creditable an Exposition as any held in this coun try. The legislature of South CaroJin** and the governor of the State. h» e ! given their endorsement to the Ex position and urged that the people of | the State visit the Exposition at least once and have named March 2t> as South Carolina Day, with the idea that there should be a grand rally of South Carolina on the Exposition grounds on that day.
