blooms, which those who know say
show a more beautiful vaiiety ol
colors, than ever seen before.
AFTER warm sultry weather, a

fears were entenallied that frost or
a freeze would follow. Yesterday
It was still cold and cloudy, with
no immediate prospect of a charge.
Eggs have been scarce, but the
bens must have concluded to give

We wish those farmers, who are

The Town Couuil are in corres
pondence with a well boring Com
pany iu reference to the cost of an
Artesian well for our Town. If the
replies are favorable, it is very
probable that a well will be bored
cither by the Towu or by a Stock
Company organized among our
citizens.
The lectures by Rev. Edward B-
M. Browne, to be delivered on Fri
day and Saturday nights of tbit
week, will be iu the Opera House

as at first advertised. The lectures
are said to be most excellent and
have produced most favorable
criticism where they have beeu
beard.
Edwards & Norxent are now
open iu their new brick store, and
have complete lines in every
department ot their general mer
chandise stock. In dry goods, late
sty es of patterns never seen in this

partment in the same bnilditig has
•very thing that ladies can desire,

petent Baltimore milliner. The
“boys” (old and young) can be
thoroughly equipped in the latest
and moet correct styles in their
clothing and furnishing department.
They have arranged to handle But-
terick’s patterns at wholesale, and

viaion of Mr. J. E. Normeut, with a
special view to the wants and taste
of their cortomere.

train made its first trip from Wades-
boro’ to Florence and back since
the washout of Tuesday of last
week. In the mean time a special
train has been making the mu on
the C. A D. R. R. Owing to the

Great Pee Dee has been on a
boom and is still up. The freshet
reached within three feet of the
“Sherman fresh” of 1865. All of
the low lands not protected by
banks have been overflowed and
hundred.* of acres of oats covered
with water. The oats oot yet id
joint, should cloudy weather follow
the fall in the liver, or a gentle rain
come, this crop will not be material
ly injured. A good deal of land will
have to be repiowed, as the water
has packed it hard.
The thanks of every Anditor and
Treasurer and tax payer in the
State sbonld be given to W. E. Sto
ney, the Comptroller General, for
the improvements made by him in
the plan of tbo new books over the
cumbrous methods of those hereto
fore in use. By simplyfying the
work, the Auditor can perforin his
duties more quickly and thoroughly,
the Treasurer can write bis receipts
more rapidly and the average tax
payer can understand bis tax re
ceipt better.
Mrs. J. A. White sent us yester
day some early radishes, the best
we have seen this spring. Mr. H.
E. Jones brought in a sweet pea
plant in full bloom, a fair s|>ecim>'ii
of his garden operations Mr. Jones
says he has an acre of these peas
and iutends feeding them to bis
Jerseys, what he does not nse for
his table. His cabbage has not
started to head yet. Jones is thor
oughly a progessive farmer and
gardener and the man who gets
a head of him must sit up late and
stir before the Factory’s first whis
tle iu the morning.
Mr. J. Frank Early calls atten
tion to his new Spring and Sum
mer stock, comprising a full line of
every thing usually kept in a first
class country store. He calls
special attention to his large stock
of fine laces, Hamburg embroideries,
white goods, lawns etc. His stock
of boots and shoes, clothing, hard
ware, is well selected. In groceries
he is prepare. I to sell as cheap as
any. If >ou want any thing in iron,
steel, or any other hard ware or
machinery, you can find it at the
branch store iu charge of Mr. Juo
U. Early. If.von have any cotton
lett, J. Fiank Eaily wants it and
will give the highest market price.

EBEXEZER.
—Genial showers during the past
week puts (arms in better shape,
giving hope and eucouiagemeut to
the graingers.
—Sunday school at Ebcnezer
church every Sunday atteruoou.
Youug men and maidens with all
the older children should attend.
—Some of the early birds will
probably get a small portion of
their cctton planted the latter end
of the week.
—For the edification of your
Wardville “Headlight” we would
state, that should be ever find a
young Deacon leader iu a country
dance with his coat pockets stuffed
full of snuff, gum twigs aud hickory
bark for hie partners—tag him
dudy. Do you catch ou! shake
down some more gum berries.
WARD8VILLE.
—Mr. Alex Odom has the boss
garden, how it shines.
—Potato planting time is here,
and most of the slips are rotten.
—Eggs, eggs, eggs! going at ten
cents per dozen. Isn’t it a pity
Christmas don’t come now we could
have plenty of egg-uog.
—We hope the Peniel reporter to
the Florence Tima will not forget
that Peniel has changed its name
to Wardsville.
—On passing by the Academy e
few davs ago we saw that the front
door had been left unfastened, and
the wind bad blown the door down.
We hope some one will look after
it end fix it up again.
—We beard a one-arm saw-mill
man say the other dsy that he
would like to saw a bill of lumber
for some one to rebuild ou the
corner where the artist is stationed.
He said he knew « f no i»etter way
of doing so than to go and have th«-
artist attempt to draw his picture
which be knew would smash the
Art Gallery to peices. We would
not be surprised to hear ol the
smash, for the gentleman is rather
hard favored.
FLORENCE.
.11 our merchants are display
ing their new and large stocks of
spring goods, but trade is dull.
—Since the heavy rains we have
had pleasent spring weather, and
farm and garden work is pushing
forward in real earnest.
—Post Master, E. H. Lucas, is iu
full charge of o^r post office As
we never have had a Democrat as
post master before this, it looks
like something new aud strange to
see Mr. Lucas in charge—but we
can stand it, and smile loo.
—The Hope 8. F E. Company
was out for practice on Saturday
eveuing last. The stream oi water
aud drill of the brsve boys was
ap endid. Tuesday the 27th inst.,
would be a good day for the Darl
ington firemen to bring their Engine
and best hose reel team to Florence
and give our boys a pleasent tilt
President Jellico, bis company, aud
our people—the yonug ladies es
pecially, hope to aee the Darlington
firemen here this month. There is
no doubt whatever of a hearty wel
come aud generous attention from
every body, and a nice little Hop
to wind upon. Come,old Darlington,
and spend a day with as, and show
these brave firemen of Florence
that yon are up to them in skill aud
drill. We know that you all are as
brave, aud there is a good time in
store for you. ^
—Our Town election comes oft
on Monday the 12th iust., and we
will have a lively time, I suppose.
In response to a public call, the
citizens (irrespective of class, color,
or occupation) of the several wards
met and elected delegates to a con
vention that melon the eveuing of
March 30th. The convention con
sisted of eight elided delegates
from each ward, and was a very
harmonious affair. The entire vote
of the convention was 31, Hon. W
A. Brunson receiving 29, W. H.
Day 1, J. A. Gude 1. Therefore,
Mr. Branson was declared the regu
lar candidate for lutendaut of the
citizens convention, and P. H.
Walsh, G. O. Cole, R. A. MeCorklc
aud Rev. Roberts, the regular con
didates for wardens. This was lb<-
most harmonious aud unanimous
expression that has ever occured at
any previous convention or mass
n.eetiug ot our citizens, aud was
conducted in a lair honest anil
decent manner. Of course it muni
have been such to have gotten W
A. Biuusou to accept its nouiiua-
•.ion. Tue next evening Capt. W.
H. Day, aud 16 or 18 white, and 20
or 23 colored citizens met at the
“Clerks Office” in the building witt
the bell on it, and placed in nomi
nation the following opposition
ticket; tor Inteudant, W. U. Da;<,
tor wardens, G. G. Lynch, John
Kuker, F. U. Hudson, aud Rev.
Roberts. Which of the too tickets
will be elected remains to be seen,
but the nomination of W. A. Brun
son for lutendaut meets with verj
general approval. Mr Brunson is
one of the purest men iu our State,
strictly honest, conservative, liberal
aud prudent. He Is a scholar aud
thorough educator be is .10 class
man, there is a warm and kind spot
iu his heart for all men alike. No
man would bold the scales more
impartially. All the interests of
Florence, and all things that may
tend to be of the' greatest good to
the greatest number, the heart.x
iucouragemeut of new tail roads to
come here and center with those
now here aud which have done so
much to build up our towu, all will
have iu Mr. Bruusou iu the future,
what he has beeu iu the past, a
stirring advocate. Mr. Bruusou has
served us tailbfuil^ before as luteii-
daut, aud all the interest ol Flor
ence will be sefe in bis hands and
aludasses of our people will have an
up right man, a gentleman, and a
scholar at the head of our town
affairs as wed as an economi j ad-
miuiHtintiou. All this may be said
* itbout the least reflection U|kiu the
good citizens aud gentlemen ou the
opposition ticket. Capt. Day has
served three years as lutendaut aud
be has carried out well aud very
generally all the ordinances enacted
by previous councils as to all im
provements. The street improve-
meuts, the Fire Engines, fire wells,
shade trees, Towu Hall, and the
making of Florence a special school
district all originated iu the Towu
Councils presided over by D. W.
Haines, W. J. Norris. Z. T, Kershaw
and W. A. Brunson, and not during
the term ol W. H. Day. Yet there
is no spite or bad feeling among the
Brunson men as to Capt. Day. The
people want a change, and the
whole thing hinges upon the choice
of men, and bis ticket. A fair aud
honest vote, aud count will tell the
tale. Let us have no more imported
votes, no more intimidation ou the
pa>tof bosses, bat a fair square
election, aud Florence will bow
giacelully to the will ofher quail-
