We understand that the Winnsa.
boro National Bank has declared a
dividend of five per cent.
Negotiations are on foot for the
accommodation of the public schol
ars in Mount Zion School. The re
sult, will be announced in a few days.
Our Monticello subscribers com
plain that the weekly NEWS AND
HERiALD-which is always mailed
here on Tuesday evening-does not
reach them till Friday or Saturday.
What can tho matter be?
PERSONAL.-Wo are pleased to
state that Dr. Isaiah Simpson,
already well known in our town and
county, will hereafter make his
home at this place. The Doctor
has numbers of friends in Fairfield,
all of whom extend to him a hearty
welcome to Winnsboro.
We are truly gratifiod to learn
that the report of the death of Mr.
Fenley Richardson was incorrect.
This gentleman was thrown from
his horse, and suffered some very
sovere bruisos on his head and
other parts of his person ; but we
were informed on Saturday that he
was doing well, and that there was
every probability of his speedy
recovery from his injurios.
GRANGE AfEETING.-There will be
a special meeting of White Oak
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, at
the usual place, on Saturday next,
when the following -named officers
will be installed:

Ceres-Miss Janie Sloan.
Flora-Miss Sallie Weldon.
Pomona-Mrs. Hattie Brico.
Lady Asst. Steward-Mrs. M. C.

MIUCH-NEEDED LEoIsLATION.-The
following communication was re..
cently addressed to one of the
Democratic members of the Legis
lature from this county:
BUCKEAD, S. C., Jan. 10, 1878.
.Dear Sir ;You passed a mighty
good law when you made the Usury
Law. Now, I know an old fellow
up here that has lots of spondulicks
and won't lend it out ; and I want
you to pass a law to make him lend
it to me and my , neighbors. We
would also like to have twenty cents
per pound for cotton. The Fence
Law is such that it will come to
grief if you don't help it. Kill the
lien law and the homestead law,
make men sell more and buy less,
and then I will say "Hurrah for old
.Fairfield I"
Yours with respect,
DAnK COnNER.
There's certainly much force in
that man's suggestions-if they
can be carried out. Time will
prove whether the two measures
recently put in force by the Legis
lature-the usury law and the
repeal of the lien law-will accom
plish the good that some people
seem to anticipate.
T HE ExIAINAToNs.-The examina
tion for public school teachers was
oven more successful on Saturday
than on the other days previous.
About thirty applicants, embracing
all ages and all degrees of experience
in teaching, were promptly on hand.
New questions on each branch were
presented on the blackboards, and
kthe'enswerp were written and hand.
od in. Several visitors wore present,
among them Mr. W. S. Moriison,
who is successfully engaged in
teaching in Spartanburg, and who
expressed the opinion that the man
nor of conductiug the examination,
and the personnal of the appli
cants compared very favorably even
with that banner county of educa
tion. Spartanburg, with her long
continued Democratic supremacy,
and her Wofford College and Lime
stone and Roidville schools, with
Prof. Carlislo to give an impetus, is
ahead now. But Fairf.eld means to
catch up in a year or two.
The time for examinations has
passed, but for the accommodation
of some who lived so far away they
could not remain to finiah on Satur
day, next Saturday vill be devoted
to them. After thi;, there will be no
more examinations un.til March. The
examiners have on hand, from white
and colored, r1bout two hundred
differofit papers to look over and
mark -in itself an onerous task.
They will sum up the results at as
early a date as possible, possibly by
Saturday next. The -chools will be
opened right away, as soon as cer
tificates are issued.

What a "Dry Ticket" does for Christ
mas--Brass Buttons and Bright Eyes
--Hans and Yawcup--A fight ovor the
Fence Law--Drawing the Line.
BLACKSTOCK, January 12.-Christ
inas has come and gone. We hope
you and all your readers had a
merry Christmas. In our little
"city" the holidays passou away
quietly. Our town council was
elected as a "dry ticket." In con
sequence Christmas drunkards were
few and far between. Firo-water
may have boon scarce, but rain
water was abundant. Ex-bar-keep
ors may consider the 25th a "dry"
day, but the clerk of the weather
cannot conscientiously pronounce it
such.
The Now Year has fairly begun.
May 1878 prove a year of much
success to TiHE NEWS AND HERALD
and all its readers.
The members of the Blackstock
Light Infantry are taking stops to
uniform themselves. The fair
ladies of our community, with tle
characteristic energy of their sex,
have come to the help of their
husbands, brothers and particular
fr'iends, who constitute our "citizen
soldiery." They propose to have a
hot supper, tableaux and charades,
in the Centennial House (ground
floor) corner Front and Church
streets, on the evening of Thursday,
17th inst. All the makers of your
paper (from editor.,in- chief to your
most diminutive deuil), all your
reader'-, and all others, are cordially
invited to put in an appearance that
evening. Ye who have motioy to~
spend cJme prepared to spendi4t.
You have heard of Hans and
Yawcup, the Dutch twins, one of
whom died, and the other of whom
was filled "mit grief and shame"
because he could not tell whether
lie was "[Hans wvhat was living, or
Yawcup wvhat was dead." Some
Fairfield citizens near our town can
now sympathize with that unfortu
nate Dutch boy. Thcy cannot tell
whether they are in t*: .shkiO no. 2.
or township no. 3. '.i.0 origin:rl
dividing line betwoc3 these two
townships was the "Cornwallis
Road," that is, the right hand Ches
ter road at White Oakc. A certain
map of Fairfield (on what lawful
authority we know not) makes the
railroad the dividing line. A story
is told of an old wvoman, wvhose log
cabin stood near the State line--is
North Carolina as she always
thought. When, however, the line
was properly run out, she was
found to be in South Carolina.
This transfer caused the good old
lady much trouble, because she had
all her life "heared South Ca-li-na
warn't nigh so healthy as North
Calina." Number 8 may be as
healthy as Number 2, but the
citizens of Number 2 would rather
remain, where they think they
belong, in Number 2. That town
ship adopted the new Fence Law,
Number 3 defeated it. The farmers
of Number 2 are not willing to
surroender their daly' bnnes.
