Hon. Geo. W. Dargau is at home
from Washington on a short visit.
J. T. Hay, Esq., a prominent
lawyer of Camden, was in town this
week ou legal business.

and look at the extensive assort
ment ot lace curtains and curtain
goods.
The Darlington Guards have
concluded to get the State Regula
tion uniform and will shortly appear
in their new dress.
Thebe will be a “dress drill” by
the Darlington Guards on Friday
night next, on the square in front
of the Enterprise Hotel.
At the last meeting of the Read
ing Club a new executive committee
was elected, consisting ot J E.
Nettles, Esq., Mr. C. B. Edwards
and Mrs. G. W Brown.
Fbom this county we notice that
the ministers present in Charles
ton at the Moody and Sankey
meeting were Revs. Jno. G. Law,
G. B. Moore, Jno. Stout and E. T.
Hodges.
On Saturday night the entrance
on the side of the Opera House
was open with a lamp brightly
burning. This is all right and we
hO|>e the janitor will nave the en
trance so arranged at every enter
tainment.
Mb. J. M. Zimmerman, who
moved from this county to Texas,
in 1845, is now ou a visit to his
native' place, after a short absence
of 41 years. He locks well and will
no doubt be able to couut 40 more
years to bis age
Along the line of the C. k D. R.
R. the section bands are placing a
row of spikes inside of one ot the
rails, in preparation for the change
of guage which will be made next
May on all roads south of the
Ohio River.
The Franklin Square Circulat
ing Library is now open with
nearly one hundred members. The
books selected are good and the
benefits to be derived are fine. The
library ought to be increased to
150 members so as to get the full
benefit of the system.
Would it not be well for the Y.
A. S F. E. Company to consider
the proposition made by our Flor
ence correspondent last week, and
unite with the Hope in a contest.
If jo other benefit resulted it would
be a good test for our new Steamer.
We hope to bear from President
Alexander on the subject.
Thos. H. Spain, Esq; puts bis
law card before the public this week
as an attorney, practicing in the
Comity Circuit and Supreme Courts.
His office is up stairs over the Post
Office, rear room. We wish him
much success, and the same place
in the legal profession as was oc
cupied by his father, that brilliant
lawyer, Maj. Spain.
The dry spell which was inten
sified by the heavy March gales
was followed on Monday by a fine
rain. This was much needed for
the small grain crops and vege
tables gardens. Weather prophets
predict a Irost in April about the
time of the full moon, so do not be
in a burry to plaut tender vege
tables.
On Sunday last, anniversary
services were held at the Macedonia
Baptist Church, Darlington, ou the
20tli year ot its existence. The
auniversaiy sermon was delivered
by Rev. I. P. Brockinton, the pas
tor, at 11 o’clock, A. M. Three
candidates were baptised. At night
thirteen deacons were ordained,
sermon by Rev. D. M. Pearce
There was a very large congrega
tion present at both services.
Fbank Murray, a colored man
who runs a seine in Pee Dte, at a
new bai formed of late years below
the old Gregg bar, has brought
several times lately some splendid
fresh shad to this town. The her
ring fishing at Lowder’s Lake has
also brought a flood of small fish to
market. The run ot shad in Pee
Dee is better t bis year than in years
past, am) is most likely the result
of the fry placed iu the River by
tbq Agricultural Department.
ter* as
Opera House, on
' ♦‘ONLY sf tal-mer’s dangb
rendered in tne Opera Hoi
Saturday, exhibited the best ac
ting by far ever seen in onr town,
and was henrtily appreciated by all
who really nuderstaud true merit
inr theatrical exhibitions. Miss
Stance Ourtiwe, as the adventuress,
the characters of .‘the author, his
wife and child, Sammie Green, and
the Henglish Butler were admira
ble, and in some parts of the play,
especially the pathetic (tortious, w’e
seldom see better. The lady's maid
made a decided bit by her exquisite
bit of spring poetry, “Ho, the Vtg,
the silvery ’og.” The Hall was
well filled and ife hope that thia
company will give us a chance next
season to aee and hew them again.
Our citizens will have an oppor
tunity on the nights of April 9 and
10 ot bearing two of the celebrated
lectures by Rev. Dr. Edward B. M.
Browne “The Jewish Talmage.”
The lectuies to be given h ive re
ceived most favorable comment
fr< m such pa()ers as the Daily
Graphic, Washington Star, Chicago
Times and the New York dailies.
One half the proceeds of the Ueturee
will be given to objects of local in
terest. See the programme for the
subjects of the lectures.
The White Public School, Miss
G. H. Dargau, Principal, closed its
session on Tuesday. Tue examiu
ations ol the classes was well con
ducted and the scholars showed
that they had been doing thorough
work iu their studies. By a ays-
tern of awards, the Principal has en
thused her scholars to tt at point
where study becomes a pleasure,
and r .he system of discipline eu
forced, has produced most excellent
results, Miss Dargau will continue
a pay school and ought to receive a
liberal patronage.
It is related that ou a recent fox
hunt by the Darlington Hunters,
the iox ran across a toot log over
Black Greek, followed by the dogs.
A Texas pony ridden by Mr. 0. S
McCullough, followed walking the
log as successlully. This fact in
horse activity is not new. When
a boy we had a (tony out of a blood
ed mare by a mustang, which
would walk any plank over 6 inches
wide. Mr. D. R. Williams of Socie
ty Hill owned a black mare, which
would walk over any foot-log strong
enough to sustain her weight.
The foot log over Black Creek was
a large pine tree sligtitly hewed ou
the upper side. If you do not be
lieve it, ask Sigmoud.
S. A. Woods, Sr., places before
the public a general not iceof his new,
large and carefully selected spring
and summer goods, comprising all
the newest and latest designs. He
calls special attention to his stock
of gents’ and boy’s bats and cloth
ing. You can get a hat for man or
boy from 5 cents np. In clothing
you will find all styles, of newest
cut and colors. The reputation ot
this house iu the past, lie intends
to keep up, .by selling the best
goods at low prices. The large sales
made since Friday last is an evi
dence that these new goods have
hit the popular taste, aud the ex
tremely low prices are an addition
al temptation to invest.
On Monday night, about 11
o’clock, Mr. H McHodge from a
window iu bis room discovered tire
iu Mr H. Sterubt-rgei’s back yard.
He gave the alarm and assistance
caire rapidly. An ash barrel placed
against Sternberger’s kitchen had
caught fire from hot ashes, aud in a
few minutes more the kitchen
would have been on tire. The
crowded condition of that poitinn
of the town, where stores, dwel
lings, stables etc., are so closely
placed, would give plenty ot uittiini-
ir.able material for a first class fire.
The acres ol wooden walls and
shingles, with the lack of water for
the fire engines, makes it prnhab e
that a fire started just at that
point would soon be beyond con
trol.
The wind and ruin storm on
Tuesday night extended all over
the county aud elsew here. About
4 o’clock the rain, with thunder,
lightning aud wind was at its
heaviest. Id the county we have
beard of one tornado, about three
quarters of a mile wide, beginning
near Mr. Martin Harrell’s, passing
from south of west to north of east,
by the places of Ephriam Knotts,
Manuel Lever aud Mrs. H. M. Par
rott and beyond. It did great
damage to timber and fencing
At Mr. Knotts’ the shingles were
partly blown from the roof. There
was no loss of life, aud no houses
destroyer! as for as heard from
There was no down u ad train on
Wednesday, two trestles ou the C.
& S. R. R. being washed out. The
road will probably lie repaired to
day and the regular schedule re
sumed. A special train was sent
up the road from Florence to make
the passenger aud mail schedule, in
the afternoon.

—A croud of our young men
went to Loud ei’s Lake fishing last
week, but as there was a freshet in
the Lake they had poor luck.
Among the few fish that they caught
was two gar fish which reminded
them of the Ebeuez -r m.iuth i.rga'.i
performer. They did not catch a
“backwoods dude” though I don’t
think we would like for the Ebeu-
ezer reporter to tell how a back-
woods dude looks so we will know
one when we see him, we are not
used to seeing those dudes about
Wardsville.

—Sir Roger DeCoverly was right
when he stated that a great deal
could be said on both sides of any
subject. As regards tree tuition iu
the South Carolina College the

Why not give Col. Hoyt and Rev.

we hope he will soon recover.
