Another scintillation from the spark ot time has flashed across the now silent path oi the past twelve months, and is now ex tinguished forever. Another shall shot from the bow of time has gone rushing on towards the target of eternity, slaying in it< onward flight, friends near and dear, and leaving its mark on the brow of yonng and old. The merry Christ mas bells have ceased their cbim ing, and tbe Christmas of 1885 will soon be forgotten. Bat tbe pleas ant reoulieclions which were engen dered by some of tbe happy oc easions which we enjoyed during this bodday season will never be forgotten. One ot the occasions re ferred to was enjoyed by several including tbe writer, at tbe resi dence of Mr. J. T. Bristow on Thursday evening 24tb, ult. The occasicn was the solemnisation of tbe nuptials of Mr. Parrott W. Bi ll, and Miss Eva C. Bristow both of Darlington. The ceremony brief bat beautiful was solemnly and beflttingly pronounced by Bev. G. B, Moore of tbe Baptist Church, after which the bride accompanied by tbe waiters together with tbe invited guests repaired to the din ing ball io which was situated a long gaily decorated table burdened with an endless variety and pro fusion of sweet meats aud delicacies baffling ennmeration. Supper be ing over tbe party returned to tho parlors where socisi conversation, games and music detained tbe hap py crowd till “the wee small boars'’ warned ns to disperse aud seek rest for the dswntngCbristmasday. The happy conple have our best wishes for a life of happiness aud prosperity. May tbe matrimonial bark so happily launched ride peacefully tbe waters oi tbe great ocean of Human Lite, till it enters tbe yreat harbor ot Eternity and gratea its keel against tbe sands of the shores of immortality, and there may angels oboros down the starry steeps of heaven, the glorious welcome “well-done”—is Hj wish of W •ofMflUe Rgb •shoe!- Editor Darlimjton News : The Dovesville High School is charge of Bev. L. T. Carroll, who assisted by his sister, MHs Car Bov ine'teachers are first daas, having had good training tbemaelves and considerable ex perieoce in teaching. Mr. Carroll is a foil gradnatc of Wake Forest College, ». C. and thisoommanity;ia fortonate in having snob a man at tbe head oi this school. Tbe town of Dovesville is a quiet little place, remarkable for its bealtbfuluess and good water. The moral tone of the p ace is as good as any. Here is no whiskey shop to entice the anwary. Mr. Baileuger aud family have recently moved here and they occupy tbe Bapt'*\^ ble will be promoted from tbe place be formerly occupied on tbe public buildings and grounds committee to tbe chairmanship thereof With in the past two or three days some one has expressed to the Speaker a doubt as to whether Mr. Dibble really cared for the first place on this committee, but this doubt lias been set at rest by an interview between the Speaker and tbe frieuda of the Sontb Carolina representa tive, and it is regarded as se'-tled. In the past Mr. Dibble has proven himself a valuable member of this committee, aud probably no one is better informed as to the require ments of tbe position. Bepreseutative Hemphill will pro bably be assiged a place on the coinage committee, which will be one ot the most important of tbe 49tb Congress, on accent of tbe sil ver agitation. It may not be out of place to state that all tbe oppo sition to silver coinage seems to have been crystallized at New York, aud hence places on the coinage committee, of which Mr. Bland, of silver del ar fame, will lie chairman, will umloublly be at a premium It is probable lb it B«*proseuta- tive Dargan will go to tbe river aud harbor oommittee, tons ensuring Charleston barber a watchful aud energetic guardian and advocate for its improvement. Tbe late Bepreseutative Evius was chairman of tbe Territories committee, but bis successor, Mr Perry, will bardly be given tbis post, aud principally for tbe reason that be is a new member. Tbis committee will have to deal witb Ibc Dakota problem, tbe Bepubli can m jority in tbe Senate being bent upon recognizing Dakota as a State, aud being determined to pass a bill to tbis effect is eariv as pos Bible. In tbe last Congress Representa tive Tillman was a member oi tbe pensions aud claims committee, but from his loug service iu tbe House be will probably be made ebairmau of tbe pensions committee, as be was second to Mr. Hewitt, of Ala bama, tbe former chairman.

The track was in good condition, bat being only a quarter of a mile witb two of the turns short, and the nature of soil being sandy, the track is tram 15 to 20 second slow to the mile. Three premiums were offered for horses, mile dash, 9100 for first, 950 for second end 925 for third.. entrance fee 95. Two premiatns also for mnlee, 910 for first, 95 for second, entrance fee 92,50. There were seven entries for horses sod three for mnlee. At U o’clock time woe ceiled and Jllaek Chief, owned by Oapt. J. C- Blackwell of Dariiugton came into the ring.

The Judges announced Maggie X.first: Bell C.second, and Adelaide third. The order of the others was Black Chief, Bpecn- lotor, White Chief and Hartsvlile.

Board is remarkably cheap, only 98 per month. Mrs. Ballenger teaches instrumental music, aud her charges are only 3 |ier month for lessons aud the use of the instru ment. Tbe people ot the town aud surrounding country have recently C t up a handsome Academy build j, which is turuished in first class style. Parents who desire their girls and boys to have good school privileges and to be well cared for while they are porsuing their studies would do well to send them to Dovesville. Dr. J. R. Carroll, a resident physician, would be on baud in case of sickness. The Black Creek Baptist Church is only one aud a half miles away, and it is proposed for tbe benefit of tbe scholars and the residents here to have services in tbe Academy Sun day afternoons aud Suuday nights.
