An exchange says, when a young lady SOtS herself up as A bell, it is fair to pre mune she wants someone to ring her. All our churches have full congrega tions ??very Sabbath, willoh shows the increase in thc population of mir town. As nothing stronger than water ls ab lowed tn this town, we would suggest that our "city fathers" have the public wells repaired.

It is said that Laurens, up to this time luis patronized the Augusta and Spar ianburg Railroad better than any other station on the linc. If it is supposed that this town is dead, it is a mistake that's all. Wo loam that on Wednesday night Mr. PKHBY JUANS, of tins County, lost bis barn and contents, consisting of fodih'r, shucks, ?fcc., by lire. Other out houses roceived serious damage.

Evorybody abuses newspapers be cause they ure not always full of nows, but if they would only try for one?? to write a readable article when they had absolutely nothing to write about, we aro suro they would hold up on nowa papers and appreciate the position of an editor.

Town of Uuvrcns ls not a desirable one, by any means, but sonic goo?! man, who will do nothing moro than tho law requires, lait who will enforce tho law to tho letter, will oci talnly gain tho lasting. voundem-n mid esteem of the good people of this ontlro community.

IJcforo roach ing town they met the construction train on. tho <:. ?V L. 1?. tt. Tho dog wont near tho engine, ami by some chance, accident or otherwise, got badly burned by escaping steam. It then turned and ran back home. On reaching homo if was in a stale of frenzy from the severity of the pain. From n very .gentle and friendly .dog, ho became nt once almost n maniac, biting at every thing that carno near him. Although ho bad never before boen celebrated as a tighter, now be could knock out the largest and fiercest bulldog in thc Ural round, lie left home und wollt exten sively through the Dial neighborhood, biting and fighting all the dogs he met. From there ho made his way down to (Joodgion's, still lighting as Le went, {til ?sontowhore in tho neighborhood he wan ahot. But tho strange thing about it la that several of the dogs bitten by bim have already died from typical hydrophobia, while Others have been billed after manifesting unmistakable Symptoms of the disease. Will Mr. Pasteur, or soino one else, explain strictly on the germ theory, bow Ibo scalding of that dog with steam could develop hydrophobia? I have no disposition to join in thc controversy now going on in your town on tho subject of Prohibitiofn. I wish to say, however, that tho disputants are arguing from false premises. Sensible poo plo wdm make laws, never make them so (bat they will have to depend on public sentiment for their .nit'orce inent. Public sentiment is not worth II ?'ont for the Olifbrcoinonl of any law. Laws are enforced by self interest and personal resentment. .rust remove these incentives and none of our lawn Will be enforced any better than prohi bition laws. If a man swindles mo, I appeal to tho law to gel my money bin k. If a man knocks mo down, ami 1 am.not aldo to knock bim down in return, (which you know 1 ?un not), I will enforce the law against bim to get my revenge; and so on with nil other laws. Just make a law prescribing a line of fl00 tor each offence of selling Intoxicating drinks, ami giving half of it to the informer, and you will find 110 more difficulty ill enforcing it than you will hud in en forcing any other law. Self interest will enforce it then; but public senti ment, never. "Hut though you boula fool with a pOMtlo ill a mortar, yet w ill his foolisness not depart from bim." This ls throw n at hev-niaker* in general. Happy Now Year to nil! Mr. M. T. Simpson has moved Into the house known ns the Masonie Store.
