Mb. H. D. Cook, of Timmons

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

boon and a dancing bear which were

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.

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.

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.

Make the Orphans Happy.
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.
