t,O.ALi IITEMS. TULSDAY iARWH1 4, ; 1879. *'cw Adverttmonts. itenoval-J. F. McMaster & Co. Jut received-McMaster & Brice. We are now in the second week of Lent, last Wednesday .having been Ash Wednesday. "AMy mother-in-law is a walking advertisement for Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup,". a subscriber remarked yes terday, "she recommends it every where." * C. MeK., of the 1Vcws and Courier, denies that he is a competitor for the prize serial for the Weekly News. If he can write a story as well as h.' per forms his duties as correspondent he would stand a hrst rate chance for the pI'ize. ''ho auditor and treasurer were in Columbia Monday making the annual settlement with the coim ptroller-gencr al. They did not complete their state ment until too late to give us the points, but we will get them on their return. The collections have been quite close. As the question has been asked we take pleasure in saying that our recent Washington letter was written by Mr. T. Ilines Colemnap, ot" liidgeway", who is now attending the )eaf Mule Col lege in Washington. Mr. Coleman is a young man. lie lost his hearing completely when about ten years old, from an attack of illness. lie is quite intelligent, however, and has made first rate use of the opport unities alord ed him. .Ve wish him success. AccmEx-rs.--r. David I. Wilson, who lives near Monticello, met with a serious - accident on Monday -before last while returning from his work. The mule le was riding becamie frightened ,and threw Mr. Wilson. Ills leg became entangled in the har ness and he was dragged some dh tance, receiving severe ijuries: Mr. Charles Price, living on the same place, aceidentally gave hiinself a1 severe wound in the leg with an axe while splitting ont shingle blocks. THE CoUNrY Orrc-s.-At a meet ing of the Democratic Club of Town ship No. 13, held on Satu rday, March 1, the following resolution was adopt ed with but one cdissenting voice: Reso'cd, That we, the Monticello Democracy, in view of the vacancies soon to occur in the treasurer's, auditor's, sherifl's and county con missioners' ofilces, suggest the pro p)riety of a primary election, in order that the sentiments of the people may go fort.h as a petition to his excellencyv the governor, reconmmendling the ap poi12 nmet of the favored inadividualis to the several offices. IIAYNE Y. MCMEEKIN', President. MA-rcuS. --An inaci pien mt .onuflagra tion was extinguished a few days ago without any alarm being giren. In one0 of the stores in town occasion was had to take out a box, containing cer taini articles, from the shelf, it was put b)ack again, and in a fe w moment s smoke was seen issuing from the shelf. Examination revealed the factt that a match lying on the shelf' had been ignited by putting thme box back, and1( that a package of hosiery was on fire. Had this'occurredi at night just before shut ting upl the store, a confla gratiomwould have resulted and beeni attributed to inmcendijarism.

[No further particulars at I." present.] TiE SOow s OlF (UNTElt.-Our Rocky Mount correspondent bemoans the absence of candidates and moral izes on the general situation as fol lows: "The rurals feel quite sad andlonely since the election. This is an 'off' I year-no Candidate to take us by the hand and sqAirth.oney into our ear. They have almost mado us believe that f our ignorance is wisdom, our poverty t wealth, our indolence industry, and that we are the backbone of the coun try- the mainspring of the machindry. C Who will now give us a drink or a cigar wl 'n we go to town? Barbe cues anc picnics are fond recollec tions of the past. We hope to see the next brood hatched early, as they are doubtless now in process of incuba tioi. We are pleased so much to see things lively. We have hung a few pictures of the last campaign in m1emo ry's hall, which we expect to preserve for t future use, and which, wheni present ed to public view, will be easily re cognized.-The stock law is almost a dead letter here, as the cattle still roam 1 at large, and should any one. have i the hardihood to enforce the provis ions of the law for his protection, he certainly will incur thodispleasure and perhaps forfeit the friendship of his ojjcnding neighbor.

This municipality was enlarged and inflted last Wednesday by the pres enlCe of light Reverend Bishop Lynch, of the Roman Catholic church, the object of whose visit was the .perfor mance of the hymeneal ceremony for his nephew, the son of Dr. Lynch, of Columbia, and the' beautiful and ac conplislhed daughter of Colonel 'rovence;'Miss Minnie.
