SBSSBSBflSMBBXBBBBflSBXIg3BS9BOSSC9SEXESEBBBtaBBBB>a3XJBBI Hardly a week passes but that it becomes our painful duty to chronicle the demise of somo weary pilgrim on Jiie'a tempestuous way. This time tho dread summons of death has fallen nearer home, the victim being a sister of our publisher, Mr. G. Yt. White head. Miss Iheodosia- Whitehead died in Richlaud county on the 4th of Febru ary, 1875, after a lingering and pain ful illness. The funeral services were performed at tho Methodist church on Sunday afternoon last, a large circle of friends and the members of the Temperance Society following her remains to the grave. She was a consistent member of the ?Christian faith, and endeavored con scientiously, to perform the varied duties of life; which thought alone should form the solace of her be reaved friends and relatives. The Free Citizen has been designa ted as one of the official papers for the'advertisiug of the county. Thero are now two official papers in the county, which we hope will not in crease the expense to tnc people. rf -mm ? ? We don't believe that any particu lar name has yet been assigned to the aiew street. At one time we heard of "Briggmanu's Folly," and wo doubt not but that our ex-mayor could now veil afford to accept tho honor. A little more folly in the street Hue anight still be beneficial. '.The merchants on tho corner, ^Messrs. Augustus and Lewis Fischer, uro enterprising young men. Mr. A., 4is it grocer, cannot be excelled. If his store is ?mall, he keeps it filled With first-class groceries, and sells them just as cheap as any other mer chant in tho place. Mr. L. keeps next door, and ?olls oysters aud fish faster than he can get them from Charleston. We wish these young gentlemen success. T?re Patrons of Husbandry in ses sion in Charleston ate transacting business of vital importance to the country. They were handsomely welcomed by the people of Charleston, addresses being delivered by the Hon. W. D. Porter, Hon. O, G. Mominger, Colonel Trcnholm, Major Barker and others. The master's message was able and ?comprehensive. Much good is ex pected from this vast national organ ization. T. A. Jeffords, Esq., has become 4he successor to J. S. Albergotti, Esq., in the store at the corner of Railroad Avenue and Russell street. Mr. Jef fofld's varied experience as a Charles ton merchant gives him advantages 'which will be to the benefit oi his cus tomers. We are glad to hear that Mr. Albergotti, who has a host of friends, will continue with him as an assistant. Baptist Sunday School Celebration. On last Thursday night we had the pleasure of attending tho interesting celebration of the above school at the Baptist church. As we entered the church, we were charmed with the attractive appear ance of the beautifully illuminated t'hrietmns tree, und the graceful arch of evergreens over the stage, with ap propriate biblical inscriptions. Mr. John 8. Cuttino, tha efficient superintendent, conducted the cere monies, which consisted principally of singing and recitations by some of tho children. After this came tho preset.lation of prizes, taken from the tiee by Mr. W. A. Edwards, and presented to tho children by Mr. Cuttino. This was an interesting part of tho perform ance; some of tho little ones being hardly largo enough to carry them selves up the oislo without assistance. Mrs. Norris, the pastor's wife, was the recipient of a, neat token of affec tion and regard from the school chil dren, presented by the superintend ent. As soon as all the names were called out, the remainder of the articles*on the tree, consisting of sugar plums and other nice things, were thrown promiscuously among the children present. In conclusion a beautiful/hymn was sung, and the children, with their guests, repaired to the Young Ameri ca Hall, Where they did justice to the splendid supper prepared for them. The Christmns tree was to have taken place at the appropriate season, but was postponed until this night in consequence of the niensles. This school has beeu gradually growing, and wo hope it will continue to prosper, as the Sunday-school, if properly conducted, is a powerful aux iliary to the church. The many friends of Mr. English will find him with Mi, DeMars, to whom ho will doubtless prove a valu able acquisition. We are glad to see that our post master has recovered and is again at his post. The Rural Carolinian for February is upon our table, with its usual rich tieat of reading matter. A complete chauge of schedule has taken place in the ?. C. R. R. The up passenger train now arrives here at 10:45, a. m., and the down train at 7:30 p. m. We regret to learn that the resi dence of Mrs. Jenkins, on the Belle ville road, was entirely destroyed by fire on Saturday night. We under stand that everything was lost, and it i;s thought to be the work of an in cendiary. Tim Assault on the Editor ol the Free Citizen. On Thursday last the public mind was somewhat excited by the rumor of a collision between Mr. B. William sou, a clerk iu the treasury office, and iormerly chief clerk of Humbert, the defaulting treasurer, and Mr. A. E. Webster, the editor of the Free Citi zeu. It appears that Mr. Williamson called ut Judge Knowlton'3 office, where Mr. Webster attends to his duties as trial justice, aud entered into a conversation with irim. Ac cording to the account of persons, who were standing at some distance, the conversation seemed to be progressing pleasantly, and no difficulty was an ticipated, when suddenly Mr. Wil liamson raised bis slick, a formidable weapon, and struck Mr. Webster a stunning blow. It appeared to be some time before Mr. Webster got hisstick in defensive position; but when he did, the chances of war seemed to be equally balanced, until bis stick broke, when the for tunes of the day turned completely against him. I At this point the constable was called, and Mr. Williamson went off, aud, we believe, delivered himself up. Mr. Webster was badly hurt, re ceiving several severo blows on the head, and one on the arm, which he used in trying t<. ward off the blowy. Dr. Dukes was called in and dressed the v/ounds. The difficulty is said to have growu out of an article on "County Affairs," in the Free Citizen of Jauuary 30th, I in which Mr. Webster commented freely upon Mr. Williamson, as Hum bert's chief clerk. The conversation which passed be tsveon them at the time of the meet ing being known to none but the par ties themselves, we can only refer to their statenionts. According to the published account in the Free Citizen, Mr. Webster of fered to Mr. Williamson, if he bed misrepresented him, to correct any mifstntement he had made, or to pub lish a card from Mr. Williamson, if ! he desired, denying what Humbert bad told him; to which "Mr. William son replied that he did not wish his name used in connection with Hum bert's in this affair." The public will be glad to learn that Mr. Webster is gradually recov ering from his wounds, and will soon be at his post. The argument of might should never be endorsed. On Monday morning four suspi cious characters were taken up and examined by our mayor, but nothing being found about them to warrant their detention, they we^o conducted by the marshals to the corporate lim its and instructed to go about their business, if they had any, and also warned that if they were caught loit ering about tpwii again, they would be taken up and trented under the va grant law. Our mayor is sometimes put to bis wit's end with these itiner ant characters, as was the enso some time ago, with a sharp aud insolent Irishmnn, who knew so much that it was thought ndvisablo to dispenso with him as quickly as possible.
