Clayton, of Virginia, havel' left the town with their board bills un paid. Pitman said he was traveling for Messrs. Mantoue & Co., ,'of Charleston, for the sale of cigars. He is said to be a stout man, clean shaved, and fluent of speechl. He had neither baggage nor samplles. (Clayton claimed to be traveling for a picture house. He wore a mustache. He is also a young man and, like his companion, had neither baggage nor samples. We further learn that these men so licited and received several subscrip tions to Ha'per's Bazaar, stating that, by a spe I arrangement, they were authorize 4 > reduce the subscription price, $3, to $1. Helena H[eraldinas. The Helena Sunday-school rarely fails to remember the Clinton Orphan age in an annual contribution. A few days ago t he secretary, MIr. Julien, sent its little free-will and votive offering 1.77i. This amount, though not great, was given w ilingly ; moreover, the school has been reduced in the past few years by removals from the village. About forty children have gone to make their homes elsewhere, and their places have not yet been supplied. We have alluded to this matter not for the puirpose of parading it, bue simply for the purpose of exciting in terest and sympathy in and with the noble institution so very near us, and wh ich draws its nmaintenance,for sweet ch arity's sake, so largely from abroad. Tfhere are about one hundred orphans in the Clinton Orphanage, and it takes dollars by the thousand to feed, clothe, and shelier these little boys and girls: to light up and give warmth to their rooms: anld to supply them with books and staitionary, etc., together with medicines and medical attention when needed. Mr. .Jacobs is wedded to this work or love, and is making a beautiful home for the children-a home of retinemnent and culture and care, and likewise of earnest practicability. The discipline, education and training at the Orphan age prepaces thoughtful, self-reliant, self-respecting and self-denying boys andl girls for the battle of life. To further equip them as bread wimners, Mr. .Jacobs will erect a tech nological school in addition to the other builings. The possibilities of the Clinton Or phanage are not limited. We hope the Estertid e offerings will be generous. Ho0w sad it is to see the dlaily page of self-destruction. To read of the miourn ful procession of those who, weary of life, are going dowu beneath the Pluto nian shadows of despair' What is the cause-or what are the causes? Of one thing we are qluite certain, and that is, impheit belief in the providences o.f God-prticularly his general and spe cial! providence-wouIld lead to more hoeful andl brigh ter lives. We would ive more for others and less for our selves. The aff'ections would be cherish ed and passion give pliace to p)atienlce! Then would there be more of self-con rol, sympathy, mercy and magna nimity.'- Tougues and tempers con trolledi would lead to new truths and beauties in social and ethical life. Nor dare we disbelieve God's permissive prviden1ce. Care, suffe ring, adversity and consequent self-denia!, are essen i:l to a rounded, a quiet and an unob trusive life that wvill await the grand secret and tihe myvstery that environs it. S'ANs Soa:.

Manufact ured and for sale at R~OIER TSON & GILDER, Corner TDrng Store ig sae of I.eal Estate. On last Monday the executors of Jacob Singley, deceased, offered for sale and sold some real estate in New berry. The way that property sold was an eye-opener for some people, and yet it (lid not bring more than it is worth. for real estate in No; nerry is worth a good deal more than it was a few years ago. We are keeping up with the pro cession if we are not niaking as much noise as some other places. The corner store on Mollahon Row, now occupied by Summer Bros., was sold first, and was bought by Summer Bros. for $6,225. 'The one adjoining this one, and now occupied by 0. H. P. FVaitt & Son, was also bought by Sum ner Bros. for $4,7:0. making nearly $11. for the two stores. The store on Pratt street, and at present occupied by Todd & Daven port, was also sold, and bought by C. Mower for $5,2>. ANOThER DEAL. On the same day at private sale Mr. Jas. J. Lane bought the store on Pratt street, and now occupied by J. W. Kib ler & Co., from C. & G. S. Mower, pay iug $5,51-0 for it. Real estate, it will be seen, is not depreciating in value in Newberry. Railroad Racket. The new schedule on the C. & G. railroad by which the Anderson train will run through to Columbia will go into effect next Monday. The run from Columbia to Greenville will be made in six hours. The traia leaves Coluin bia at 6.20 a. m. aLd arrives at G reen ville at 12:'0 p. in. It arrives at New berry at S.)3 a. in. Returning it leaves Greenville at 3 p. m. and arrives in Coiumbia at 9 p. in., passing Newberry at 7.16. This will be quite a conven ienee to Newberry and the traveling public. It gives us too daily passenger trains between Columbia and Green ville, and will deliver the Columbia aily papers at Newberry at 8 o'clock >u the morning of publication. The report that the Laurens passenger train between Laurens and Columbia would be discontinued is incorrect. It will be run as heretofore. A new schedule will likely be put on the C. N. & L. R. R. between Colum bia and Clinton about the 15th of this month. Just what that schedule will be we are not informed, but there will probably be a morning train from Lolumbia making connection at Clin ton with the train on the G., C. & N. railroad going WVest. This train will pass Newberry about ten o'clock in the morning. Railroad Commissione.s Jervey and Thomas were at Newberry last Thurs :lay. They inspected and received ten miles of the C. N. & L. R. R. from New berry to Garys. IIDDLEDY-WINKS at the BOOK STORE. The Jurors. The following are the Grand Jurors lrawn to serve for this year: 'hos. Davis. (p. c.) B. F. Sheely, J no. H.Wilngham. Jeff.

P>wers & Co., have instituted proceedings against the town of New berry to recover the $100 charged for license over and above the lice:nse last year. The case will be heard before Ti~l Justice Mayvbin on next Monday. Tle plainititis are represented by John tone and (Cromier, and the town by Geo. S. Mower, Eisq. Thie council gave notice in an ordinance that the license for retailing liquor would tie four hun dredl dollars. On the night that the licenses were to be granted the council determiied to raise the license to $>00 and did raise it. All the barromms paidl the additional $]O00, but claim to have paid under protest.- The qjuestion now comes up on the legality of the action of council in raising the license. It in volves about $900 revenue to the town this year. The medical fraternity, backed up) by c refuilly compi led statistics, is almost a unit in dleclaring that a mloderate use )f stimulants conduces to long life. It is also admitted that an old whiskey is by far the best stimulant that can be used. Leading physicians recommend the I. W. Harper Whiskey, because it is pure, possessed of a superior flavor and bouquet, and is not offered for sale until it is old and thoroughly matured. Sold by Thos. Q.

LANE, St Offie nn-stars over Postoffice THE QUAKER GR.AVEYARD. This Lonr;-Nezlected Resting-lave of tl Dead Cleared of Its Briars and Rubbish-An Elort to Have It Properly Enclosed. Mr. Editor: I will ask those who have subscribed ioney to help in put tiug a fence around the Quaker Grave yard, and have not hauded it in, to please send it to me at 'topia, S. C., or deposit it for me at the N-wberry Bank, at their earliest convenience; and all those who are intereted in the graveyard, and have not subscribed, to give us their aid in this important work, and send in the mouey at an early date. Tu some it niay be necessary to make an explanation, as the question may arh,e: By what autherity do you do thi.? Some of us hav for sonie time beeii trying to get this matter stirred up, but were unsuccessful until Major L. J. Jones, by much correspondence with soie Friends (Quakers) of North Caro lina, had this matter (the neglected chureb property and graveyarrd) broug h t up before the Yearly Meeting of the Friends of North Carolina. Mr. E. E. Mendenha:l, a committee of oue, ae companied by Rev. Mr. Jones, was sent here to look after this property. On December Ista meeting was held in Major Jones' office and was very ,veli attended by those iuterested in the graveyard. It was decided that a local trustee should be appointed to look after this property ana see to clearing off and fencing in the graveyard wi!h rock posts and wire. I give the follow ing as copied from the minutes of the meeting taken by the Rev. Mr. Jones of North Carolina: "Walter . Herbert was appointed by E. E. Mendenhall, commrnittee of North Carolina Yearly. Meeting, Trus tee of Bush River Friends chui ch land and graveyard." It was decided that we try to get money from all interested to fence in the graveyard, as before stated, and to meet soon and clear off the grav,.-ard. Those who were present subscribed very liberally, and S;5.00 was subseribLd there. I have since received $12.00 fron some who were not present, which in all is a little over half of what it was calculated it would take to put up the fence. On Tuesday, December 2nd, some of us met at the graveyard to have it surveyed and establish some lost cor Uers. On Wednesday, December 3d, we met to clear off the graveyard, which was a sight to behold, and I might say a disgrace to us who had so neglected the resting-place of our forefathers. It was a perfect wilderness-all grown up in b/:ars, bushes of all kinds and even good sized trees, so that it was a diffi cult matter for one to get through it. We did some good work there, and the place looks quite different. Now if you who are interested in it will only give me your aid I will put the graveyard in such a condition that you will no longer be ashamed to visit it. The more money you give me the better fetice I will have put there; and as soon as possible after I receive mo nev sutficient I will have the work done. I thought of writing to every one in terested that I could hear of, but after finding that I would have to write scores of letters I have resorted to this plan of sending my message. I neglected to say that the titles of this property have, since the visit of these Friends, been transferred to the Friends Yearly Meeting of North Caro lina by the heirs of Judge O'Neall, in whose name the titles have been for a long time.

Railroad, going west, was derailed just beyond Bush River, about three miles west of Newberry. Eight box cars were broken and thrown on both sides of the track complete wrecks. The engine and eight cars next to it kept the track. The conductor's cab also kept the track. No one was in jured. The track was torn up for nearly 7.5 yards. The Anderson train wvas kept at Newvberry all day yesterday and the Columbia and Greenville passengers transfeired at the wreck. The track will be in condition for trains to pass over to-day. It is supposed that a broken rail caused the accident. The damage to the railroad will be considerable. 500 Men's Suits below cost for the cash at L. W. C.

The Moseley Bros. are not new names to our people, but are synonvmous with honest dealin-s, plenty go.,ds for rea]y cash, -md the same corps of genial, courteous and affable clerks. The baaking business will also be conducted as usual. This firm of twenty-four years standing has been one of nuparalled success, and the name is known "far ana wide''-from "Dan to Beersheba." The disolution is by mutual consent, and the relations of the parties concerned are of the most pleasant nature. Mr. Wheeler Simply being desirous of retiring to an agri cultural life, his wishes and desires were granted, and all. parties are happy and serene. Prof. Frank Dreher has resigned as nrincipal of Prosperity High School. His resignation has been accepted by the Board of Trustees. Prof. Dreher goes with the best wishes of all our people to the Lone Star State, where ever so many of our young men have gone before. There was no antagonism between Prof. Dreiier and the patrons of the school. in fact the school is in a prosperous condition, but Professor Dreher's health is failing, and he thinks Texas, with a lighter work will restore what he has lost, in the way of health. Prof. E. 0. Counts,who is well known as a first class teacher, will fill the place just vacated by Prof. Dreher, and all will-be happy and serene. YUBE.

As the most of our friends have never heard of the story, we will try to tell it, and try to stiek as close to the truth as crcumstances will permit. Doubtless the many readers of this county know the parties we shall mention, and also the place. Deadfall is the place; or rather that is the ancient name, but the rising generation have g'ven it the name of String Town. Well, the story goes, that there was a ghost to be seen at the old Deadfall every night, (there was no one living there at the time) and various were the tales as to what was seen and heard. So Frank M Dan L- and Newt B-, with his little son Lawrence, made up a party of investigation. Frank M-, armed with a pitchfork, assured the party of no danger as he was a medium and could nateriali%e the ghost, but as it turned out, things materialized too well. When the party got on the spot and was walking around the house to the well, every one stopped. Frank called for his spirits and they came too quick. Trhe party got se:.red and start ed to run, some going on one side of the house, some on the other, and all getting around about the same time, and seeing each other, every fellow thought it was the ghost and they broke of! in every direction. Frank M. hap pened to start across the old field, and making a speed that would astonish Maud 8. Nobody ever did know where he took up at, but he got home next morning all scratched up, no hat, and that pitchfork never has beec found, and he never has explained tt the sat isfaction of the woment why he never got home any sooner; and Newvt B., poor fellowv, got the worst ft'ght of all; when he started to run his little son grabbed him by the coat tail and Newt thought it was the ghost, and he spread himself with the boy holding on for his life, not wanting to be left. Now there was a short turn in the road, and when Newt made the turn his coat tore out, and when the boy saw he was left he began to yell, and that only made the old man get better. and every few steps he would call out to Mollie, his wife, to open the door. He soon got home, and the little fellow came along after awhile, but the old man was too scared to let him in for a good while. Dan L. being young and active, he just cleaned up everything. He got on a regular stampede with hat in hand, and an Indian war-whoop every few jumps; he left everything. Dan had a cap box in his pocket with only a few caps in it, and every jump the caps would rattle and Dan would run the harder, until he rau himself down, and for a long time, if you would rattle a cap box Dan would start up and look for the ghost. None of the party ever knew wvhat startled them that night, hut some people say it was only a cat fight. Any way, since the Smith Man. ufacturing Company has been there the little Smiths have scared away all the ghosts. Two Pape*rs a WVeek for a Dollar a Year The "Twice a-week" Edition of THLE ST.

Par rw[, Dr. .Jaines Clowney and Miss Le wellyn Lee Lark, daughter of Mr. Cul len Lark-all of Laurens County. I (!Obituanj. Death of Little Henry Paul Zobe!. Henry Paul, the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Zobel, diPd Tes day morning, February 24tb, in the 16th year of his age. For twelve or fourteen years he knew Uothing of earth's scenes of joy and sorrow; neither of its temptations and waywardness. Only in the opening hours and days of infancy that iuked two brief years together did the beautiful light of day and the endearments of ho.ne shine upon and toi:;h the gliniunering con siousness of babyhood. There was no rift in the cloud of that little life, so soon and so darkly shadowed! But the vail is now drawn, and he has entered the presence of the Great Physician and the company of inijis tering spirits! The ears are utstopped, the lips no longer sealed, and the eyes, to ali in tents sightless here, have opened Uon the tremulous light of love and to the iris of heaven! The little body is at tranquil rest within the boson of mother earth. Tile whispering voices of the vesper winds shall be its lullaby; whilst not an atom I of the fragile form, in dissolution, shall be lost in the weeks, months and sea sons that may elapse before the Crea tive Voice of the Lord of the Resurrec tion shall reinvest it with the invisible yet indestructible inind and soul now so beautffuily clothed upon with the habilanients of Paradise.
