A Washington despatch says that
John J. Patterson is lying ill in that
city, and his recovery is doubtful.
We regret to learn that Willie,
son of J. T. W. Stitt, Esq., of this
county, d,ed on Wednesday last
from diphtheria. He was about
three years of ago.
Remember the gold-headed cano
that is to be awarded to the most
popular gentleman in the county.
The votingS will tako place on Mon
day and Tucsday evonings.
In the United States Court, in
the caso of Harvey Terry vs. The
Planter's Bank of Fairficld, a
motion was 1mde to set aside the
demurror. Tho case was continued.
Dr. I. B. 11anahan, having do
terminod to locate permanently in
Winnsboro, has moved his family
to this place. Dr. HIanalhan has
been in Vinnsboro since last spring
and has mado largo number of
friends. Socially aud professionally,
he is an acquisition to th'o county.
Among the important measures
passed in the Legislature wero the
postponement of delinquent tax
sales to the first Monday in Feb
ruary, and the ratification of the
school amendmont, keeping the
school money in the different coun
ties. This will confer great benefit
on Fairfleld. The schools will soon
be opened now.
The Register, in connection with
TiE NEWS AND HM.AL's aidvocaey
of the Molffett Bell punch, mildly
insinuates something about "hot
scotches" in tho cold nights of last
winter. The Register forgets that,
only by the imbibition of such mild
beverages during those troublous
days could the average citizen secure
a perfection of b)inocular vision
rcquisite to a just appreciation of
the mysteries of dual government.
And what more n-rtural thanthat the
ringing in one's head the succeed
ing morning, should suggest the
tintinnabulations of the Moffett bell
punllch ?
THlE PLAwrT MERcURY.-The $par
tan burg Ilerald contains the followvN
ing, wvhich we refer to the juvenile
astroners of Winnsboro:
Copernicu--, the great astrono~
moer, regretted on his death hed
that he had never soon the lanet
Mercury. Any keen%oy 'd boy in
our county can see it for a few
nip;hts lbefore and after Cihristmas
thius year. Christms night will be
the best night, as the planet will
then be farthest from the sun. But
you may begin to look for it a week
or more before that date. About
one--half hour after sunset look low
dowvn in the south-west in a line be..
tweon where the sun sets now and
the evening planet Venus. Mer..
cury neover lingers long behind the
sun, andl for this reason it is not
often seen. He is a brilliant, Ilash
ing little fellow. Planets usually
do not twinkle, but he may perhaps
seem to you to twinkle, and ho is
Ro near the horizon. If you have a
clear horizon towvards the south
west, you may see this rare showv
for nothing. Will some boy or girl
who never has seen Morocury, hunt
him up, and tell us through the
llerald about it ? If he wvishes any
more "out dloor lessons," let him
give proof of it. The p)lanet sets a
little more than an hour aftbr the
sun. On Christmas night Mercury
and Venus are about twventy- five
degrees alpart.
Remember that Christmas is at
hand. Remember also that among
the features of the holidays will be
the Festival and Christmas Tree,
and tableaux and musicale for the
benefit of the Gordon Light
Infantry, of Winnsboro. This com
pany is composed of the best mate
rial, and all it needs to make it one
is the uniform and arms, the latter
of which will come from the State,
and the formor to be supplied by
the membors themselves. It is for
the purposo of aiding the members
in this respect that the ladies have
devised a mammoth entertainment.
In the ranks are husbands, sons,
brothers, cousins, friends and,
perhaps, "nearer ones still and
dearer ones yet than all others."
And they all look handsomer and
more killing in their close fitting
coats of gray or blue, adorned with
lace, and splashed with buttons and
sarmountod by the gorgeous
epaulette and the nobby pompon.
The ladies then are bound to see
that they have them. For over a
week fair hands and skillful fingers
have been deftly decorating the
Thespian Hall, and transforming its
bare, walls into fairy bowers, while
a program me, varied and attractive,
has been prepared. The fair will
open on Christmas Eve, with the
perennial Christmas Tree, whose
branches, though withered through
summer, bloom afresh with every
recurring anniversary of that joyous
occasion. There will be presents
for all; from the graybeard to the
infant. Big, little, old and young
will be remembered. Nor will the
creature comforts of man be for
gotten. While the young ladies are
flitting about like houris, or fairies,
or Hebes, or anything else that is
utterly enchanting, and are vend
ing odoriferous nosegays and
ethereal pin-cushions, or beguiling
the possessors of a no. 10 foot into
tWe investment of no. 5 slippers,
the matrons and their assistants
will serve the savory turkey, or the
toothsome salad or the succulent
bivalve, with the accompaniments
and condiments, in exchange for
the crisp greenback, or the bright
silver dollar of our daddies, or even
ths "promises to pay" of our sister
cities of Chester and Camden. In
addition there will be an elegant
gold-headed ebony cane, just from
Charleston. which will be voted to
the most popular man in the coun
ty. In order to obviate a rush,
tickets of admission to the Christ,
mas Tree, costing a quarter, will be
sold previously at the stores of
McMaster & Brice and Connor &
Chandler's For this entertainment
the doors will be open at 6 o'clock,
On Christmas day, a dinner em..%
bracing every variety of substantial
and de:ieacy will be served at the
Thespian Hall for the temptingly
low sum of fifty cents.
On Christmas night, the lovers
of the p)icturesque and beautiful
will have the opportunity of wit-.
nessing a series of effective tableaux,
gotten up by the same management
that has always, heretofore, been
so successful.
The whole entertainment em-.
braces a series of attractive fea..
tures ; and it cannot fail to attract
large crowds ; and, what is of more
importance, to realize a large
amount for the comruendable object
in furtherance of which it has been
devised.
