Railroad, are getting up a petition to the railroad authorities to establisha depot and appoint an agent at this place. A depot at this point is very much needetd, and we think it would pay3 P the railroad to establish one. It is the natural outlet fo.r a large section of counltry. Chappeils is cut off' by the river and Ninety Six by several creeks, and many persons who would niaturally get their freigl4 at I)yson=is now go t points on the C. C. & A. Railroad, in order to avoid crossing the river and ereeks necessary to get to Ninety Six o: Chappells. A depot at Dyson would b4 a great convenience to these people, an~ we think, profitable to the railroad. Il should be established.

On Monday last. there were 120 b:des of cotton sold here. Market 91. Some of the young people of our town have taken the preliminary measures for a charade and tableaux, on Friday night before Christmas. Mr. D. M. Langford and Miss Hattie Boulware, were married on Thursday, December 8th. The happy couple have our best wishes for their future pros perity. The number of bales of cotton sold here for the week ending December 13th is 378, same as last week. Tota 1 number to date 6,748. Price to-day 9. The stores and streets now present scenes of unusual life and activity. Clerks and everybody else are just as busy as they can be, and purchasers are waited on in their turns, and all go away happy and serene. H. O. Williams State Secretary for the Y. M. C. A., will not be in Prosperity oz the 14th and 15th as advertised, but will be here on Friday the 16th. Every body is lcordially invited. The public, those, who attend will receive a treat. The Y. M. C. A., in our town is in a very flourshing condition. Oh what good seasonable times in the countrv now. Puddings, sausage, spare ribs, back-bones and hog's-head cheese. Who would'nt live in the country now ? Blessed be the woman, (we know it was a woman) who invented puddings and sausages. We have some very gallant young men in town. They are noted for pay ing marked attention, especially to strange young ladies visiting here. Sometimes in their eagerness to extend courtesies and little favors, they a! low their zeal to take advantage of their judgment. We have a case in point. l'o be frank, on a recent Sunday even ing a young gentlemen wrote a note to a young lady asking the "exquisite pleasure" of seeing her to "church and return." That young lady had the "ex lisite pieasure" of being-married. To !ave been wise, would have been to iave enquired. The code duello is in order. Mr. Graydon, of Abbeville, says "it vould be well for the State if all the bat :le-scarred veterans of the Confederacy ere dead." We quote from the Char eston News and Courier of the 13th. We do not believe that the two meanest nen in; the United States, torch-light Lm. Tecumseh Sherman, and paralytic Fairchild, would agree to this senti nent of Graydon. We feel satisfied that :hey would not. Graydon ran against Fudge Norton for the judgeship, and vas defeated. Judge Norton is a "bat le-scarred veteran," of the Confederacy, Ond we reckonGraydoti's defeat by a one Lrncd Confederate has embittered him Lgainst every, "battle-scarred veteran," o the extent that, he, Graydon, thinks t would be well for thme State if they ere all dead. Pass him around among le wives, the daughters, the sisters and nothers of them old veterans of '61-'63. On last Saturday morning about o'clock, when Mr. Walter Wise went o his lot to feed his stock lie discovered is barn on fire. The barn contained odder, straw, pea vines,&c., which were apidly enveloped in flames. The stables vere attached to the barn and it was vith difficulty that Mr. Wise saved his tock. The fire was, without doubt, the vork of an incendiary, and is in the ection of country where many depre lations such as rocking hou.<es, cutting arness, burning giri houses, shooting orses, and shooting at men, have been ommitted in the dark hours of night. t does seem that the time has come for he people in that community to arise ni their might, and say that these higs must be stopped-that there must se an end to this midnight deviltry. r. Wise is an exceedingly quiet, in ffensive citizen, who has now lost his arn and stables.to satisfy some demoniac lesire of a party or parties. There must >e a stop put to th's thing. The com nunity is never safe under the existing tate of affairs, and some body must be eld responsible for these flagrant rimes. TUBE. he A. 35. E. Conference. The Columbia Annual Conference of he A.
