Bunn, formerly of Eb enezer, but more recently of Atlan ta, On., is clerking for Mr. J. Frank Early. What is a fact! Well, it is a fact that Strrzer is the man to buy clocks and watches from. That is a fart. Mb. Ephriam E. Gregg, of Mar ion County, die ' at the residence of Mr. Harry T. Hardee, in this C"nnfy on last Tuesday, in the Sixty sixth year of his age. A Large stock of new books and stationery, comprising the very latest and cheapest articles in the market, is being opened daily at the Book Store. Oapt. C. A. Mallow, of Cheraw, Deputy Collector of Internal Rev enue for the District of which Dar lington County forms a part, was in town yeaterd »y on business for “Uncle 8am.” The dangerous limb lodging in the fork of the tree in front of Mrs. Baker’s residence, to which atton Uou was called several weeks ago, slid rct/dns its precarious position to the imminent danger of the lives ai.d limbs of passers by. After a brief visit to relatives in North Carolina, Mr. Jacob Mar co a rrved in Darlington on Tiiea- d y morning, all ready for the hnainess of the fall and winter months, and bringing with him the first ray ol stiusliioe we have had for feu days. Ukv. J. S. DuBose wil ..old ser- vices in the Court Hons- on Tues day evening, Sent cm be. 18tb, at 7.30 P. M. His subji ct will be “Oath and promise of God and the Baiuts’ lulii-riiniice.” The public generally, und the clergy especially, we invited to attend. The flue row ' f oaks on Orange Street am sadlv in need of atten tion. One is fast decaying and the others seem de-tined to foMow. The trees are apparently being ki'led by insiets and something should be done to prevent further injury to snch magnificent oaks. Rains have t een general through out South Carolina daring the past ten d» ys, and ihe crops have been terribly injured. The fKroiars’ of Darlington have at least the poor satiefaeiiou of knowing that they arc not the only sntterers at this distressing state of things, which we must sincerely nope is now at an end. Read Mr. V. C. Badham’s ad vertisement ; it would be well foi every farmot lo make a note of it. Representing, as he does, the old and established firm of Talbott & Sous, uf Richmond, Va., and as agent for the Hall, Eagle and Lbuimus gins, he can supply oae with all the machinery necessary for farm use. Write to him at Co lumbia, 8 C., or to Talbott & Sons, Richmond, Va. The Pee Dee “On a Boom.” Reports from the Pee Dee show an almost unprecedented rise in that rivt-r. A telegram received at this office, from Cheraw, yesterday about noon says ; “The river is tbirty-fivo feet high this morning and rising one half an inch an hour.” It will be remembered that the highest point ever reached was 38 feet, in 1805, the year of the memorable “Sherman Freshet.” Municipal Affairs. The Town Cooncil was in session last Friday evening. Only two matters of importance were dis cussed. A petition signed by the citizens of the town, a notice of whiob has been given in The Dab lihgton News, was submitted to the effect that the privilege ot running a new street from Cashua Street parallel to Exchange be granted certain property holders interested. The matter was re ferred for consideration to a com mittee consisting of fie Mayor and Wardens, Siskrou and Beck. The affairs pertaining to the Artesian Well were then discussed and it was decided to continue the boring of the well. The whole Connell was made a committee to oon- eider the manner in which the work lboQ}i be |>ushed forward. : ^ - The Fonrth Quarterly Confer- jy° e p for Place will be held bv awl « r€8 i d ne E,dor on Saturday Jfi!°T nd ^ “o Xt ^ Sacrament “ k*??

A consecration and P^r service will lie conducted by the Pastor at the Methodist Chnrcb 2» Sa “ d ay morning, beginning at 9.J0 o’clock. The public are vited. in- The Colored Farmers’ Alliance. Rev. J. H. Carey organized a County branch ol the Colored rarmers’ Alliance in the Court House yesterday, abont a hundred respectable-looking well-to-do col ored men having assembled the.e for that purpose. The meeting was addressed hy Mr. Lucas McIntosh, 1 resident of the White Farmers’ Alliance for this County, who wi s present by special request. There are some ten or twelve snb-alliances of the colored Order now organized In this County. The Dog Convention. A serious nuisance that onght to be slopped by the proper au thorities is the rnuning at large on the Square, of a large number of dogs, seemingly withont owners, or with owners who are regardless of the comfort of their neighbors. Every night a large convention of these dogs is held on the Square and they keep up a continual bed lam much to the annoyanceof those who live near by. An immediate stop should be put to a nuisance that so disturbs the rest and quiet of an otherwise peaceful community. More', Honors for Mr Houston. Another ycung Darlingtonian has been honored. Mr. D. F Hous ton was recently elected principal of the City Schools at Spartanburg and left home last Saturday to as sume charge of bis new dalies. Mr. Houston, has for the past year been tutor of the Ancient Lai.ga uges in the South Carolina College, from which institution he was graduated in the class of 1887. This is quite a compliment to him as the new position which is a fine one, was proffered him entirely with out his solicitation. We wish him every success in his larger field of labor. Service Well Performed As the time for the return of the Rev. Mr. Law from his European trip comes nearer and nearer, the period of service of the Rev. W. S Wallace, who has so aoceptabl.v filled Mr. L.w’s pulpit duri. g his absence, draws to itsclose Owing to his many admirable qualities, Mr. Wallace has won for himself a host of friends in Darling o i Coun ty, who will always extend him a hearty welcome to their homes. For one who has been in Ins holy calling for to short a time, he gives (he brightest promise ot future use fulness, and his relatives and friends iu his far off Florida home will doubtless be ideused to know oftbe fii.e impression which he has created among the people of his first charge. Daniel, President of the Citizens Relief Committee, Jacksonville, Florida The Weather ami the Mill Dams The rec ut heavy rains, injuring crops and causing freshets, have not spared the dams of several of the ponds iu this vicinity. Col. E. R Mclver’s mill dam was washed away for about sixty feet la*t Thursday afternoon. It is renorted further that the mill darns of H. II. Rhodes, Mrs. 8. E. S. McCown, M. A. Muldrow aud J. P. Wilson have broken loose. If such be the cape, the work at these nulls will be sc riously retarded and the situation can be of benefit to no one, except perhaps the eutuusiastij angler, many of whom seeing in it a “bonan za,” are making the most of their op portunities. Contribute Your Mite. The cry of anguish which is go ing out to the world from the plague stricken city of Jacksonville, has been heard far aud wide, and i.i response to the call of humanity, the Mayor has appointed a citizens committee of thirteen to receive subscriptions for the aid of a peo ple now prostrate beneath a terri ble scourge, retreat from which is impossible, the gates of sister cities being closed against them. This local relief committee cousis’s of the following : Messrs. J. A. Boyd, T. O. Stewait, Geo. Onslow, A. 8. White, Woods & Woods, J. T. Bris tow, Isaac Lewenthal, W. A Par- rott, H.T. Thompson, J. Rosenberg, H. L. Charles, L. E. Williamson, and C D. Evans. Any of these parties will receive subscriptions at tbeir respective places of bn*ine:8, from those who desire to givo their mite tor the benefit of the yellow fever sufferers. All should join iu this noble work to help fellow be ings in distress. Give yom mite, however small it may be, for little do we know that i> will send glads ness into the heart of some unfor tunate one now bravely contending with ]>overty and pestilence! The committee will meet to-morrow to report what has already been done and to discuss what is best to be done in the prosecution of this most, charitable work. It may be stated here that the Express Office at this place has been notified by the Acting Route Agent, Mr. R.C. Barrett, of Fayetteville, N. C., that packages of monev, medis cal supplies, etc., intenden for yel low fever sufferers at Jacksonville, will be forwarded by the Express Company free of charge.
