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.

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.
