. . r401.. $E. EE tAX PE.AL.T There seems to be some confusion in the popular mind as to, the amount of penalty to iW added to taxes remaining unpaid after the last day of the present year. The impression gentrally pre vails that in accordance with an Act passed at the last session of the Legi. lature the penalty to be added on the first day of January is only one per cent.. u' 1* increased each thirty days until tie 15th clay of March, when the tax executions will be issued.

'rhe family, consisting of Mrs. Kinard and four children, were within a few hours' time sitting out in the road with not enough clothing for a change. It is auppiosed that the fire originated from a fire cracker which was; lighted and thrown on the loft by one of the children. No estimate of Mr. Kinard's loss has yet been made, but when a man loses his all, ho is at the mercy of his friends. Mr. Kinard is as good, honest and hard working citizen as Newberry county can produce, and deserves the sympa thy of the people of the whole county. It Is gratifying to learn that hi8 neigh bors and friends are liberally respond. mng to his needs. T. .J, W. PlIourl Flout Flouri - ('Al JUST IfECEIVED.

With Christmas festivities and the car rival on hand at once, I can't find it in my heart to blame her. By the way, did you know that the people of this city are a great hearted people? if you (ldin't, comne over for a day or two and thens talkr; but, I started to tell you ai-.out the carnivah . When I first arrived I took a walk around the whole machine anid went back to my room to figure out the amount of disgust that was floating around loose; in my mind, anid had niot somrre of our bJoys come around and over p'-rsuadedi us, we should have been guilty of a great injustice to our sister city. In fact vwe had made up our mind to pronounrce it- the carnival - a se-cond class edlitioni of a one-horse show, anid to warn Newberry against it. But we have changed our mind, anid are now prepared to pronounce it a success, of the first water; for as v:e write, we are prepared to say that we have never seen a people mnore thoroughly infected with the sp)irit of jollity, or more en tirely oblivious to consideration of self, than these UJnionites. What, wvith diai pJlay, non-euphony of sound pyrotech mei andl general indiscribability of con ditions, on hand, we venture to say that thec spirit of untrammelled mischief can't match it. T1he whole push have gonse wild, from six to sixty, and up wardls; andl the man who expects to (do business here during this week, needs a wet towel on his head. TIhe shows, so far as I have seen, are chaste; in fact one or two of them b)rought. the "'blubber'' out of yours truly, viz., "Mt. P'elee" and "Margue rite,"' whilst "The Old Plantation,'' caused us to laugh until we had to un tie our shoes for comfort. I believe that if ev%ery man and woman in New berry sees "Hello! Central! Give Me Heaven'' and '"The TJie that Binds'' that we will be almost good enough for translation for about a minute. But enough of this. Union is a live town, with plenty of money and plenty o.f disposition to use it, and given the time will be a lustrous jewel in the coronet of Carolina. Our boys are all doing well oiver here, iso we ll, indeed, that I have heard it predicted that they will all be mnillionaires, when they make enough money. I would like to scribe all night but, (as you know, no mention was made of frs, when the boys "chipped in" to pay our expenses), we will have to close arid kiver up; after eypressing the one sole wish for the health, wealth and prosperity of.old Newberry.
