The valuable premises, in the town of Darlington belonging to tbe estate of Mrs. £. A. Law are for sale. Read tbe advertisement. Houston & Iseman keep on band a floe supply of horses, moles, bag- gMCftod harness. They are ready, as always, to trade instead of sell ing. Me. J. Wilson Fountain has our thanks tor a pair of tbe finest turnips we ever saw. Some of tbe same kind took the premium at our Fair. Just think of it! It you go to the News office and pay in 83, you can get the Darlington News and the Charleston Weekly News together for one year. Mb. H. D. Cook, of Timmons ville, has brought to tbe News of flee two monster beets which would certainly have taken a premium at the State Fair. In the letter of Mr. A. W. Par rott published on onr first page, there are two typographical errors near tbe end; for “corned” read “conned,” and for “reviewed” read “reversed.” The nrchins of the town and some of the sedate citizens, too, en joyed the antics of a trained bab boon and a dancing bear which were exhibited on the square last week by a party of strolling Turks. Owing to tbe Savannah and Charleston train failing to make connection on Tuesday alternoon, tbe mail train on the O. & D. road reached Darlington about two boors behind time. Rev. P B. Jackson has lost a small memorandum book contain ing useful memoranda He is un der the impression that be left it at some office or residence in calling.

Hewitt is erecting a large livery stable east of Capt Floyd’s store, which will be 25 feet wide, 125 feet long and will contain 40 stalls.

THE following attorneys were in Darlington this week, engaged in argning cases before Judge Coth ran at chambers: Messrs. C. P. Townsend, H H. Newton, Knox Livingston and B. I. Rogers, of Marlboro 7 ; Messrs M. J. Uirscb and Juo. A. Kelly, of Williamsburg, and Edward Mclver, Esq., of Ches terfield. The many friends of Dr. J. C. Willcox will be grieved to know that he had a sadden and most se rious attack of illness on Thursday last while attending tbe fair at Marion. For some time his life was despaired of, bat he is now consid ered onto! danger and is expected to return home within the next few days. THE entertainment given in tbe parlors of tbe Enterprise Hotel on the evening of tbe 4th instant, by the ladies interested in raising funds for an Episcopal Chapel was a most enjoyable affair. Every one who atteuded.had a good time, and it is sincerely hoped that tbe ladies will be iudneed to repeat tbe enter tainment, not only on account of the financial success with which they met bat because ol the enjoyment to be derived by those who attend. Darlington county met with a loss this week when Capt. T. C. Poore left us to make bis home at Belton. For tbe past three years be has been in basilicas in our town with Messrs. McCullough & Black well, and few men in that short time have ever become so widely and favorably known in tbe county. His geneiosity of character and kindness of heart have made him many warm friends who part wi tb him with regret—a regret which is only tempered by their knowledge of the silken cord which drew the gallant C aptain away. May good lack attend him and his fair bride! While we wiah him success in bis new avocation at Belton, we can bat hope that, in the future, circum stances may again make him an adopted citizen of onr comity. —Cotton is still coming in, though the moat of the crop is on tbe mar ket. —Mr. T. J. Walker han put up a saw mill iirtown, which will prove a great benefit to the community. —Thefourth quarterly conference of tbe Timmonsvilie circuit was held at St. Paul’s last Saturday and Sunday. —There are two paupers in this town who should receive, tbe imme diate attention ot the County Com missioners. They are helpless and diseased and have no friends able to take care ot them. Their names are Alfred Windham and J. A. Pounoey. SOCIETY HILL. —We had a very light rain dur ing the past week but not enough to do any good. —Some ot our people will take advant-reof tbe excursion train to visit the State Fair this week. —The Mteatber turned quite cold on Saturday night. A brisk wind from tbe North sprang up, making fires and blankets quite comforts ble. , —TWf society of the younger members of the Baptist Church bad an entertainment at the residence of Mrs. Hannah Coker, on Friday night, which was a great success. —We had a severe shock of earth quake on Friday in the middle of the day and again on Sunday dnr> ing preaching in the morning and at half past one in the afternoon. —Most of the cotton in this sec tiou is already in the bouse. The plaut show the effect of frost. Some of the flower growers lost their plauts by trusting to the warm weather. —Rev. J. G. Law preached at Centre Hall on Sunday afternoon from the text, “What shall I do to be saved f” and at night he preach- in the Baptist Church here, from the text, “Believe on the Lord Jesns Christ and thou shalt be saved,” which is the answer to tbe ques tion of tbe Jailor at Philippi. —The train on Monday night came to us two hours behind time.

Mrs. Scarborough w is 56 years of age, and was well known and much appreciated as a school teacher ot oui county. Surrounded by loving triends and lender tela lives she fell asleep in the full as surance of a blessed immortality bey ond the grave. —The election on the 2nd passed off quietly. The vote at this place was not us large as usnal, owing only to the fact that there was no opposition. A good citizen who has been recently stricken with paralysis was driven out and voted sittiug in his buggy. Auotber old man w ho has been blind tor several years was amoug the first on the grounds and was led to tbe polls to cast his ballot once more for houe»i gi verument. This shows the “Si mon pure” Democratic spirit of niemniah'e ’76. Tbe “Cap’eu,” an old war horse of’76, in his eagerness to “go the whole hog” crambed in, also, his registration ticket. He attributes it to the fact that he was without his glasses, and is still in a good humor as tbe managers were kii d enough to return him his ticket. the.

From all over South Carolina and Georgia, there is gathered into the Thorn w ell Orphanage, in Clinton, South Carolina, an orphan house hold of more than sixty, who are being rared for as Elijah was at the brook Cherith. These are tbe wards ot God’s people. If the generous hearted Christians of this aud ad joining States should withdraw their bands, all of these children would speedily lose their oppor tunity of an education, aud would leave this quiet, happy country home, where they are not only kindly cared lor, but also taught useful manual arts aud given an ex cellent common school education. “It is a good thing to give thanks onto the Lord.” But the Lord bim- stlf tells us that the most acceptable thanksgiving to him is to feed the fatherless aud relieve the widow. What say the readers of this paper about adopting this method ot ob serving Thanksgiving day. Send a barrel of flour, or a sack of corn, or a keg of molasses, or a few dol lars to the Thoruweli Orphanage Clinton, S. C. Last year the aver age of a full year’s care of each child, including board, clothing, education, aud mattou’s attention was only 860 00 for each child, which is evidence of economy. What is given is well given. This is tbe only Institution for orphans, in South Carolina, outside of Charleston. Though under the care of Presby terians, it is open to children of all or no denomination. Declines with Thanks.
