There was a pleasant dance

Rev. R. W. Lide returned on

Mb. A. Nachman is patting in a

Hanley is improving bis store on
Pearl 8t., making changes in the
interior and altering the exterior.
Oitb effort to make “Ebenezer”
happy last week, had each a pleas
ant effect that he breaks oat this
week in spring poetry and senti
meat. It makes ns teel that life is
not ill spent when we can produce
such happiness
Thebe has been quite a ran late
ly on tbe copies of the Congression
al 'Record, which come to the News
office. We cannot say whether this
is attributab'e to its being an elec
tion year, or to tbe fact that several
good speeches have lately appeared
in tbe Record.
The building on the north side of
tbe sqnare, lately purchased by
Geo. W. Brown, Esq., has been
thoroughly overhauled and added
to in the rear. The lower part will
be occupied by tbe News sometimu
next month, the upper part will be
used as a law office by Mr. Brown.
The Bakery, lately kept by Mr.
J.E. Schmid, has been re opened
by Mr J. S. Adams, who will keep
a full auppb of 'resh bread, cakes,
confectionery and such delicacies as
Are kept in a first-class bake shop.
He will employ the best baker to
be bad and will spare no pains to
please the public.
Edwards & Norment give notice
of expected arrival of specialties,
and promise something novel and
beautiful at remarkable prices.
Every body, tbe tallies particularly,
are specially invited to see goods
entirely new to this market, which
are now expected every day. Don’t
forget that they have removed to
tbeir new brick store.
The three Lodges, K. of H„ K.
of P. and A. L. of U., have pur
chased an organ for the use of the'
Lodges. Tne instrument is Irom
the factory of Jesse French, Nash
ville, Teun., bought through Prof.
Wm. Baker, of the Baker Music
House, Charlotte, N C. The iu-
•trument is a fine one, with all the
latest improvements, and was pur
chased after a thorough test and
examination.
Next Monday, as will be seen by
notice, Mrs. Williamson will open
an ice cream parlor ou tbe second
flojr of the Enterprise Hotel. The
? »rlor will be open on Monday,
nesday, Thursday and Friday of
each week during the snmmer
from 6 to 8 o’clock in the evening.
For convenience of enstomers tick
ets will be sold at the Hotel office.
This enterprise will be a pleasant
one for onr people and we have no
doubt will be liberally patronized.
Mb. L. I. Parrott, son ot our
townsman. Dr. 8. F. Parrott, has
been appointed by Judge Fraser as
stenographer. Mr. Parrott has
lately completed a special college
coarse in stenography and type
writing, and has most flattering tes
timonials from the President and
facnlty. He is a young man ot
steady habits, pleasant address,
and we should judge a most compe
tent mao to fill the a'darons duties
of bis office on tbe 5tb Circait.
Thb Darlington correspondent of
tbe Florence Times gets off this in
the last week’s issue of that journal:
M Tbe Darlington News staff have
a somewhat melancholy look of
late. It is because they know the
‘melancholy days have come, the
saddest of the year,’ when tbe
tree of local news patteth forth no
frait—nothing bat leaves—when
tbe wells of newspaper information
dry np or ran low.” That’s so, bat
if the reporter will borrow oar
proof sheets, we think he eoald get
up a better news report for the
Timet than be does, aod give tbe
public more news, with lees poetry
Bad philosophy.
There has been lately completed
a jobot work at the Hardware De
partment of J. F. Early. A 12
horse power portable engine has
been overhauled, the boiler re built,
with crown piece and furnace.
Near Mr. J. B. Rhodes’ house,
Switt Creek Township, in the pub
lic road, Mr. Bartow James, sou of
Mr. B. F. James of that neighbor
hood, was shot by Mr. W. 8. Atkin
son a neighbor of his. Ou Saturday
a difficulty arose between James
and Atkinson, and in a fight result
ing, J. mes got the best:of At
kinson. On Monday mtrning about
sun rise, James and Atkinson met
in the public road near the latter’s
house, and after some words Atkin
son shot James with a rifle carrying
a No. 32 cartridge, the ball enter
ing below the right nipple and com
ing out under the left shoulder-
blade. The wound ia very danger
ous, and may result in tbe death of
James.
Mr. B. A. Early has effected a
compromise with his creditors on a
basis of 40 per cent, 20 per cent
cash and tbe balance next fall. As
soon as tne terms of the compro
mise was effected, the business
friends of Mr. E. rly offered such
substantial aid that he had no dif
ficulty in making the cash payment
and arranging for the balance.
The terms of the compromise are
liberal and very complimentary to
the business worth and integrity of
Mr. Early, and it is especially pleas
ing to his unmerous friends to
kuow that he is relieved of bis dif
ficulties He will we hope renew
business at an early date, and re-
some his old place among those
merchants who have done so much
to advance the welfare of Darling
ton and the county.
On Fridayt to morrow, the an
niversary of the Darlington Guards
will be celebrated. The Guards
will assemble, in full uniform and
equipments, at tbe armory, at 8
o’clock After the annual election
of officers for the year, aad a parade
on the square, they with iuvited
guests, honorary and contributing
members, will go to Mclver’s Mill.
At the Mdl the target shooting is
first in order. There will be for
the active members, using tbe U. S,
regulation rifle, distance 150 yards,
3 shots each, a gold medal for the
best score, and a tiu cup tor the
worst score; for contributing mem
bers, same distance, rifle, and
target, prize for best score ; ladies
prize 50 yards, selected rifle, best
single shot, gold medal. Tbe gold
medal to active members, will be
presented by E. O. Woods, Esq;
tin cup by F. F. Covingtou, Esq.,
of Marion; contributing members
prize by Capt. E. R. Mclver;
ladies’ prize by J. J. War d,
Esq. The rest of the day will be
spent on the shores and waters of
tbe Pond rs may suit the pleasure
of the party, varied with the an
nual pic-nic dinner, and a historic
fish stew. The day promises to be
a pleasant one, and one of the most
interesting features will be the
target shooting by the ladies.
The Easter celebration of the
Sunday school of tbe M. E. Church,
South, was a success in every way.
The church was most beautifuli.v
and tastefally decorated with liv
iug plants in pyramids, clusters
and beds, with evergreen wreaths
over tbe chancel arch and railing.
In the morning rherregula'services
were held, Rev. Mr Jackson preach
ing on the theme of the Resurrec
tion, with appropriate hymns ami
anthems. In the afternoon at 4
o’clock, the several classes of tbe
Sunday school marched in undei
the direction of their teachers, from
tbe two rear doors of the church,
moNSiug in front ot the altar, and
taking seats in the middle pews, in
front. Each class bore an emblem;
1st class, a cross of white flowers,
2nd class an anchor of white flow
ers, 3rd class, a crown of evergreen,
4th class, a harp of ivy, 5th class,
a Ijre of green boughs. The open
ing prayer was made by Rev. Jno.
G. Law. The exercises consisted
of recitations from the several clas
ses, with intervening songs, led by
the choir. The whole programme
was well done, the singing being
especially fine. The services were
closed with tbe Gloria Patri by tbe
school, and tbe benediction by Mr.
Law. At night the regular services
were held, Rev. Mr. Jackson of
ficiating.
The Southern Bivouac for May
ok-ses the first volume of the new
series most creditably. The first
article is an illustrated story by
Dan E. O’Sullivan, well told and
dramatic in movement and inci
dent. A paper of unusual interest
is contributed by James W. A
Wright, on prison life at the North,
entitled “War Prisons and War
Poetry.” Miss Rowland’s second
paper on the “Virginia Cavaliers”
is even more interesting than the
first. W. J. Olipbant tells tbe story
of tbe k( Battle ot Arkansas Post.”
Will Wallace Harney concludes his
story of “Life in Florida during tbe
Reign of the Carpet Baggers.”
Richsrd H. Musser continues his
account of the “War in Missouri,”
and this installment is accompan
ied by an excellent map. Judge A.
E. Richard has, in this number, the
first of two papers ou that admira
ble Confederate leader, General Tur
ner Ashby. Tbe portrait of G‘-n.
Ashby is excellent Col. R. T. Dnr-
rett concludes bis papers ou the
Resolutions of 1798 -1799 with a
very iuterestiogbiograpbical sketch
of John Breckinridge. These pa
pers are of unnsnal value and have
attracted mncb attention. The last
is illustrated with a portrait of J< bn
Breckinridge and bv a picture of
bis law office. Two poems in this
number will be widely read. One
is an illustrated poem by H O.
Wright, of unnsnal imaginative
toree. The ether ia a memorial po
em by Maurice Thompson for Dec
oration Day, simple but striking.
The firstyear’s record of the Bivouac
abows clearly that the South is able
to produce and is willing li'ocrally
to support a representative literary
magazine •
SWIFT CREEK.
—Our farmers have finished plant
ing cotton.
—Mr. J. C. Bass has, for some
time, been in charge of the Rev. S.
Jones’ place. We hope they may
succeed in doing business together.
—Some of onr farmers are very
busy plowing corn. We think it a
good plan to begin on Gen. Green
in time, for bis forces are very
strong in onr section, on account of
our having sneb good cotton laud.
—Since spring has fairly set in
about tbe gayest things to be seen
are the girls. They are as merry as
the birds and all of them know how
to make boquets for the boys. Every
yonng man has his coat magnifi-
certly ornamented with the most
skillfully made boqnet.
—We have preaching at the Swift
Creek Baptist Church every Sun
day. Come and l^ear a good ser
mon. There is also preaching at
the new M. E. Cbnrcb every second
and fourth Sundays. We invite all
who will to come and join onr Sun
day-schools.
Lamar Items.

about one acre in tobacco this year.

coaid be desired for farm work.
—Cotton planting has been the
order of the day.
—Mr. W. J. Flint expects to cul
tivate six acres of tobacco.
—We will report on tobacco cul
ture once or twice each mouth.
—Is it not strange that some men
are as ugly as homemade sin, and
yet their daughters are pretty.
—A High School should be kept
at Lamar by all means. It is hop
ed that some enthusiastic and Intel*
ligeut man will take this subject iu
hand.
—We never have seen cotton and
corn lands prepared better. Every
thing else is in trim, in tbe way ot
hedges, fences and undergrowth.
Notwithstanding the late spring
everybody is doing two day’s duty
in one.
STOKES BRIDGE.
—Rev. P. G. Bowman is on a
visit to this community,

Alexander to Mrs. LouisaNewman,
ali of Darlington County.
—Mr. John W. Wood bam will
leave ou the 3rd of May for an ex
tended tonr in the far west, on a
visit to relatives. We will all re
gret the temporary absence of one
ot our most worthy and influential
citizens.
—The recent law about hitching
posts at all gates erected across tbe
public roads is also entirely disre
garded, quite as much so as the
concealed weapon law Has the
public no rights that individuals
are bound to respect!
—What has become of our coun
ty commissioners and road over
seers that they allow the public
highways plowed up, and scare
crows in the shape of grass and
turf dragged out of tbe fields on
the plows and piled up in tbe pub
lic road f
—We were not pained to hear
recently of the mysterions death of
a half dozen dogs. These were no
donbt good dogs, yes, good for
nothing. They were valuable dogs,
perhaps far more valuable than
other members of the horde of
miserable curs, hounds, and mon
grels that infest our country and
render night bideons.
