The women have all the bustle and the men the toil Itud care.” Muldbow’s mill pond was frozen over yesterday morning. Swift Creek was also, which showed that Tuesday night was colder than the preceding nights. The Town Council met on Mon day and ag -eed on the amount ot liquor 'license, placing it at 6175. There will probably be tep licenses taken uut Jef Gbego, colored, has been captured and lodged in jail under warrant issued is 1879, for breaking in the gin house and stealing a bale of cotton from J.

The unusual quiet on Salesday, and during tbe 12 days while the bar rooms were closed up has done much to change opinion oa tbe question of prohibition. Some who opposed it are now in favor of it, and others who believed in free sales now favor high license. Dur ing tbe 12 days there was not a single arrest by the police, and no disturbance reported. ‘ On TUnrsday evening last, little Theresa, daughter of Mr. H. and Mrs. L. Sternberger ot our tewn died after a short illness, at the age of 6 years. The funeral was held at tbe residence, and tbe body was carried to Charleston and interred in tbe Hebrew cemetery, Rey. Da vid Levy officiating. We extend onr sincere sympathies to the par ents in their affliction. On Wednesday of last week tbe reports from tbe weather bureau predicted a cold wave. It came. On Friday morning tbe wind came fir m tbe south-east with suow, sleet and rain. Toward night it com menced to suddenly change to all points of the compass, with heavy oiouds moving in three different di rections. About 8 o’clock tbe wind got down to steady work and blew all night with great force. Every thing with moistare in it began to freeze, and bv morning there was ice everywhere. Saturday and San* day were no improvement. Tbe thermometer got down to 4° above aero, ponds were frozen over and Swift Creek presented a surface of foe from ooe edge to the other. On Monday morning tbe cold bad In- areased bo* the blizzard bad passed asd some comfort eonld be bail. Tbe fornaoe Are was kept up all day Sunday at tbs Factory to prevent the freezing ot pipes. On Monday the Newts office was frozen op, pa per, Ink, paste and composition, and it was two hours before we could got to work. Monday and Tues day nights were very severe, colder than tbe preceding nights. Many K roons lost green hous* plants. te oat crop will bo bmlly damaged. It is tbe coldest spell of snob length that has been known in 15 years. The Town Council have' bought the J. B. Schmid place on Cashua St. They will erect thereon the new market house building, and put up racks on the 3 acre lot to accommodate vehicles and horses of visitors to town. They will pull down the present market liousc on tbe square, enclose tbe square with s bgbt and substantial fence, plant It in grass and place seats in it. Two cisterns of 30,000 gallons ca pacity each wid be dug, one in “front of tile Enterprise Hotel and the other in front of Mr. J. F. Ear ly’s store. These wilt be connected with pipes from the wind-mill tank. Five hundred feet of additional hose will be honght. Tbe hand engine and reel are now boused in a build ing erected for that pur|>o8i' in rear of the Opera House. As soon os tbe weather moderates work will commence. At the Opera House on Tuesday and Wednesday evening, Jan. 19 and 20tb., we are to have a first class company presenting tbe great success. “The 2 Dans.” On ac count of tbe company having a few open dates, our people will be especially favored npon tbe appear ance of the famons How-orth’s Comedy and. Novelty. Co. A late Petersburg papef' speaks as follows ot this Company - « ‘‘One of the most enjoyable and instructive entertainments of the season was given at the Academy of Music last night by Howortb’s great double show Hibernica comedy and specialty company. The grand tour cf Ireland, made through a succession of superb panoramic views in which the most interesting spots of the Emerald isle were visited, was worth many times the cost ot the admission. In this part of tbe exhibition many ingenious and pleasing mechanical effects were introduced such as snnset and moonlight on the takes of Killarney, and a terrific thunder storm at sea The comedy of the Two Dans was exceedingly funny, and was rendered with side splitting effect. Every character was well sustained and tbe audience thor oughly delighted. In their special line every member of the company is an artist of the first order. The audience was large considering tbe season.” - For Mayor. The many triends of Hon. GEO. W. BROWN, nominate him as Major, to fill tbe unexpired term to .be filled by a town election on the 21st instant. Business Notices.
