Deputy Hup. Chau. Mustard, with
the request that be exemplify the
secret work. The receut acces

EBENEZER.
—A good busiuetts stum! is open
for an enterprising merchant at
Ebeuezer depot. ’
—Last Sunday’s snow, farmers
think, is a sure sign of a good crop
this year.
— Plough-oxen are- getting very-
numerous over the. county. Won
der if the priority law resurrected
them.
—This snow in all probability
will keep the bed bugs back a few
wi eks later, giving weary pilgrims
a longer rest.
—Each succeeding year adds to
the thrifty appearance of many
farms in this section. Stumping,
thorough draining and a judicious
system of manuring are the means
used.
CARTERS VILLE.
—Mrs. 0. VV. Pennington died at
her borne iu this town on the 20th
ultimo.
—Mr. W H. Commander aud
Miss Rembert of Sumter were untt
ed in the bonds of matrimony ou
the 24th ultimo.
— fhe health of our community is
good, so much so that Dr. Palmer
has time to travel around with a
lite insutauce agent.
—If the W.. C. & A. R. R. Co. do
not build a large warehouse at this
place, some of the freight that now
comes here will have to be sent
some where else for safe keeping.
— Wc bad a nice snow on Sun
day last, but it did not last long
enough, especially for the boys who
liked to play snowball. Od peo
pie say it is a sign of a goo;! crop
year. We hope it js.
DOYESVFLLE.
—We were grieved some time
ago to bear that our esteemed phy
sician, Dr. J. R. Carroll, intended to
leave us. He was petitioned by
the community to remain with us,
aud we are glad to know be has de
cided to do so. He has won the
confidence of the people and bas a
good practice.
—Under the management of the
Rev. L. T. Carroll, assisted by Miss
Carroll, the Dovesville Academy is
iu a flourishing condition. New
stiidetitMare connn£ iu almost daily.
They have the latest iinpiovements
iu seats, desks, maps six! globe, sod
are fortunate in paving secured a
good music teacher. *
—The farmers of our community
are eoosiderably behind with their
farm work, owing to the severe cold
winter, bu' are better prepared bn
successful farming than they have
been for some time. Most < t them
hare on ht'nd a better supply of
home-made provisions, and conse
quently want less credit, though,
have bought largely of fertilizers—
principally aod phosphate aud
kaiutt. P.

and spread its mantle of white.
It is now gone. Was this the “.;iud

Kershaw’s «otit-£j Pi (As; -‘Dur

—Our city bell, on the Town
Hall, has a very sweet and loud
voice, aud peals off'6 A M., 12 M.
and 9 P M., every day, to the great
pleasure of our pleople.
—The graded school has another
additional teacher—the number of
pupils iyerease so rapidly that the
Commissiooeife have been forced to
give tiM BhperiurerideBtrmfltre help.
—There are, rumor says, 99 men,
more or less, spoken of for wardens
of our town at the next election.
From that number it will be easy
to select four good men aud anti-
“ring” Democrats.
—There issi me little stir in our
stores. Our merchants are get'ing
iu hardware aud spring stocks,
and will not be eclipsed outside of
Charleston, iu display of pretty-
goods and low prices.
—Mr. B. K. Brockiulon, one of
our most enterprising business men
and citizens, contemplates goiug
to the far west. We regret this
very much indeed This county cau
ill afford to lose such men as Mr.
B., aud we hope he may reconsider
aud remain at home aud continue
to lend his business talent and en
ergy to develop the many resources
of old Darliugtou county,
—Mr. A. W. Thompson is the
only man ou our police foico that is
worth one cent, aud the old gentle
man cannot patrol the town as he
should because of other duties. Tjbe
other imliaewan oarus not. for any*
IfllNg but FtfMreeir himself tint t>f
sight when the “spirit” filletb him
up. Tramps are numerous and the
police a farce, they have only otre
beaten patlJt S ' Jr p - g i
—Mr. E. H. Lucas has been ap
(minted postmaster at Florence, and
everybody hopes that he wUl “fill
the bill.” Mr. Lucas is ai' strictly
honorable young gentleman, aud
enjoys the respect anti esteem of
our'|j»ople. He has aftvays been a
Democrat, but it remains to be seCti
«hat kind of a Democratic P. M.
he will make, as we have never
have had a Democrat In that office.
—The Presbyterian Uhfnrfch here
has undergone some important re
pairs and changes, and the grand
old edifice will he mneb more
comfortable now at all seasons The
pastor, Rev. Mi. Beau, is a learned
man indeed, aud never lads to give
his hearers a gem iu the shape of
instructive lessons, impressively de
livered. Socially it is a treat to
meet and chat with this elegant
gentleman and scholar.
—Rev. Mr. Pate, of the M E.
Church, has taken charge iu real
earnest, and has won the affection
of his entire flock, and all others
wiio have heard him preach, or
have met him. His sermons are all
fine lessons, prepared after much
thought and study .and delivered
in a very earnest, interesting and
distinct style, which must do great
good. We hope to hear a special
sermon soon from him addressed to
the young meu.
—The ‘-Knights of Labor” are
growing largely in members and
are compelled to have frequent
meetings. This ord« r of the people
will be heard from when the “rings”
aud ungratelul politicians will least
expect it. The bone aud muscle
must be heard and telt, and so it
will be. A change must come, and
no better place to Is-gin than right
at home. Correct the little mis
takes which are growing to be big
errors. - - . -y.«
—Mr. John Kuker; woo is the 1
“king pin” among our rich men,
very liberally helps the farmers iu
need (ou accommodating terms),
with money or supplies This will
be a great convenience to those
who need help, but fear the strong
arm of a city factor. Mr. Kuker
has the means qud the business
pluck to put his money where it is
most Heeded and w ill do the great
est good, “Shell it out,” Mr. K,
