It is an able report, that of tho Grand Jury. Let our County Commissioners note it well, especially on the cleaning of streams and improving the jail. At the intermediate examinational tho S. C. Colloge, Freshman .1. .1. Me BWilin, of this county stood in three studies, highly distinguished: in one distinguished; and in one proficient. Partners attonding Court say that the usual amount of fertilizers will bo used this year and about tho same area in cotton. They report Improvement in breeds and attention to cattle and u tendency to diversify crops and make tho farm self-supporting. Another blizzard,which we certainly hope will be considered our full share for the season, arrived on Saturday. Sleet began to fall Saturday ovoning accompanied by a wind of a cutting de scription which lasted oil and ort until Sunday afternoon when there was calm ami tlie sun began to think about un doing the mischief which by its disap pearance it hud allowed to take place. Monday the molting process bogan and still continues. Sarah Grand, the authoress of "Tho Heavenly Twins." perhaps the most widely talked about book of the past year, lias written an article for the March number of the North American Review, cut it led "The New Aspect of tho Woman Question" in which she ar gues that while there have been times when there was a doubt as to whether man was to be raised or woman was to bo lowered we baved t urned that cor nel- at last and that now woman hohU out a strong hand to tho man and in sists on keeping him up. Tli" Bon-Ton Club Ehitoi'tniim. 'The young ladies of the lion-Ton Club wore inspired with the happy idea of uniting pleasure with patriotism on Thursday evening. An entertain ment was given by them at the home of M iss Mary Gavrott in honor of Wash ington and the OCCason was made as novel as it was enjoyable by t he quaint costumes and powdered hair of a cen tury back. If any of those present were sceptical as to how good looks were possible for our ancestors in their fearful and wonderfully contrived habiliments their doubts were dis pelled on Thursday ovonlllg. However, it should be added that it was sug gested that the usual order was re vorscd and that tho Laurens young people were equal to tho occasion and became the costumes. A Virginia Keel was appropriately chosen as the oponing feature of tin entertainment and then the germau bogan, to continue, witli an intermis sion for refreshments and a game of cards for those who cared to play, until an early hour when "Home, Sweet Home" disporsod the dancers rathor uncertain as to whether they should be moro gratoful to George Washington for being the inspiration or the Hon Ton Club for being inspired. , The young ladies prosontwero!

Tho Grand Jury submit tho following report. We respectfully Htute that wo have endeavored to faithfully discharge tho duties devolving upon us, without partiality or favor, as Grand Jurors: 1st. Wo have visited tho Poor House by committee. Wo lind that there aro thirteen inmates in tho same?sovon whites and six colored, all well eared for by our worthy Steward. Wo find that there arc some slight repairs need ed on tho promises, which we recom mend as early as possible. 2d. We next visited the Jail which WC lind neatly and well kept. Tho same needs repairs, the roof being un sound. Wo recommend that another story be added, with cells fitted up in same, in order that prisoners may not communicate with each other. Wo find in the debtors room that the over head coiling is unsafe, a portion of which is gone. We recommend it bo attended to immediately. We further recommend that the ventilation in dun geon be enlarged for the health of tho prisoners conn nod therein. Wo also Und some slight repairs needed on out buildings. We have been informed by tho Sheriff that the buildings are not insured. Wo urge the nocossltyof the same at once. Wo recommend all pris oners confined in the county jail to be brought to speedy trial in cases where the evidence is InsulHolont to sustain tho charge, the prisoner bo role;; ed on his own recognizance and not conti nod In jail at the expense of the County. Wo make special mention of Wade Robortson who has been confined in jail for nearly one year, embracing three terms of court, and lias been re turned to jail to await July term of court, thereby Incurring a further ex pense to the County. :>d. We have inspected the various county offices and find them in good condition, except those of I'rebate Judge and Clerk of Caurt. Wo llnd the papers are being destroyed by rats, and therefore recommend the purchase of three hundred tin boxes for the protec tion of tho same. 1. The attention of our County Com missioners was called to tho Drainage Act in reference to the entire County. Cane Creek was especially mentioned as being in a very bad condition there by rendering tho lands along tho same untenable, besides making it unhealthy to residents along its course. Our com missioners issued orders for the ob structions to be removed from said slroum. Except in a fow Instancos their order has been ignored. We urge that they take legal steps at once to have the obstructions removed from said stream and all Other streams in our County. Our County Commission ers "have been remiss in their duty in certain portions of our County, vi/.: Dial, Sullivan. Cross Hill. Waterloo and Laurons Townships. Complaint having been made to US from the above mentioned Townships, that the public highways In places are in bad condl l ion also small bridges on the same are mere traps, wo recommend that thoy use terracotta Instead of small wooden bridges In such place's. Wo arc pained to stale that there is a portion of the road live miles from this place, leading to Cross Hill, impassable: the traveling public being forced to trospass upon the private property of individual., in order to get to the County seat. The attention of which lias boon called to one of our present board of commis sioners more than once. We ask that the same be put In good condition at once or show cause why the same should not be done. W e would ask for an export to ex amine the books of tho various olHcoS of the COUbty with us in order that the same may be done IntolligontHy, of which we will i*$norl at tho July term. [n conclusion tho Grand Jury would ox to nd to your Honor tho highest ap preciation of tho klndnoss shown them, all Of which is respect fully submitted. J. \V. Bo vi/, Foreman.

To FOOT STOCKINGS. Here is a good way in foot stockings. Taking tho worn-out sock, fold it on the -earn, and where the heel morgOS into I he log begin to cut. anil keeping hall way between the two edgos, out oil' the under part, then cut open tin- heel seam, ami spreading nut the part cut away from the stocking, make a paper pattern from which to cut out a new bottom of cloth. Fold this together in the middle and stitch together tho rounded edgOS for a new heel, then, unfolding, stitch tho new bottom into the stocking, holding the former to ward you, as on account of the room for seam and shrinkugo, which of course, was allowed in cutting the pattern, it will be larger than the stocking. Woolen or cotton stockings past wear ing should not be thrown a v. ay. as often one pair is useful in mending all ot her. care of Curtains and Portiere?. When any cleaning or sweeping is in progross the hoavy curtains and por tloros should be removed, and after being thoroughly brushed and shaken should be be allowed to hang in the air until the rooms art'ready for their return, write- ,lames Thomson in a very practical article . "Artistic Door ways and Windows." in the March La die.' I Ionic Journal. Heavy hangings will absorb the odor from cigar smoke or from any food which may be cook ing, and the groatcst care should therefore bo taken thai they be kept well aired. The doorway curtains may be so easily removed and placed in po sition again that there should be no oxeuso for any unpleasant odor being attached to them. .Iml;;e Walls' Djluit. Special lo Tin State.

Ono night not long since, he was aroused from Iiis slumber by a noise in his din ning room. lie arose at once and pro ceeded to make investigations. He found his gun unloaded, though being a venturesome fellow ho went in un armed and there he found the burglar to be a very small dog that had gained entrance and was helping himself to whatever suited his taste best. And while Joe proceeded to dispell the un welcome visitor he positively refused to go, and showed a disposition to de fend himself. Joe not caring to engage in a personal encounter, and realizing his position, started around the table, while he was persued by the liste. Af ter concluding this would not do ho mounted the table and remained until assistance could be procured. Three cheers for the captivating Joe. A sweeper at Bussel Patterson's.
