As the ar ticles are being sold pi.ee by piece wry little headway a as made, but tbe bulk of the stock will be cuis.-d out in the same manner ou Satur day next, beginning at ten o’clock in the morning. Some very deair able articles are to be purchased at this sale, and those iu q est of “bargains” would do well to attend. Wrestling was tbe order of ti e day with mauy of those who h id nothing to do ou Christmas day. The exercises took place iu the vacant lot ou Pearle Street just beyond Rosenberg’s store, and th * partieipants were various stalwart colored youths who infest the town. The spectators, while as well as colored, would make up a parse for each contest as the spoils for thr victor. Thb patrons of the telegraph of fice got np a parse ou New Year’s Day and presented Miss Ormoud, tbe efficient operator, with a baud some testimonial of their apprecia tion of her valuable services. Miss Ormond requests us to return her hearfelt thanks to her many frfends for the kindly interest they have manifested in so substantial a man ner. We would only add that, in onr opinion, she received no more than abe deserved. Thb sttention of teachers parents and pupils ie again culled to the fact that the introductory aud ex* change peri, d, during which school books are being sold at tbe Book Store at greatly reuuced prices, will expire on Feb. 1, alter which date the regnlar New York retail price will be charged. Those wbo desire to purchase books in tbe near tuture are advised therefore to come iu before the rise in prioee takes plaoe. Onk of tbe livory stable hands got drank on Monday night and boldly asserted the proposition that be bad n perfect right to kiek tip as much fuss as be pleased in the bar which had beeu the means ot bis overthrow. He aocoordingly set upon tbe proprietor of the said es tablishment, and proceeded to carve him gently with a cheese knife. HU bloody designs were frustrated, however, and fbll jus tice was meted oat to the offender by the Mayor on Tuesday. Mb. J.

A Grand Entertainment at Lydia c -'Musical Entertaiument- Qui e a pleasant entertainment was given on last Friday evening at the residence of Hon. Geoige W. Dargau for a lieiievoieut purpose. Tuc larau parlors were filled by eight o’clock, and the programme tor the ev< ning cotunKMiced. A vocal quartet ie was giveu aud much enjoyed, aud afterwards am instru mental duett, the executtou of which was exceedingly fine. Dur- iug the evening there were many beautiful selections of music given, one by a very little lady, who did herself great credit. A vocal dnett was prououuccd by some the gem ol the evening, while others gave the palm to the violin and piano duetts, and others, Tiovatore mel odies. Tbe instrumental music was especially enjoyable. The lust song ou the programme was “The Sun flower Corns,” and very unique and pretty L was. The folding doors opened upon what seemed a bank of blooming sunflowers, so com pletely were the young girls con cealed by dark dra|>eries and ever green, while from behind each flow er the voice of a little maiden join ed iu tue song. The large, natural lookiug flowers swayed and nodded at the command of the music, and tbe sleepy voices grew fainter aud fainter till tbe last verse found the yellow discs drooping into slamber. It is to be hoped that tbe ladies will have these pleasant musical evenings ofteuer, and let the pub lic see aud hear what our . eople can do. Our Old Friends. Our old Irieuds Messrs. McOaf ferty Bros., will be in Darlington ou Mouday uext (Salesday) with a car load of fine young horses and males. These gentlemen say that, witb tbe sxception of Columbia, Darlington is tne very best market which they have tonnd in the State, aud as they are not tbe men to lor get those who have beeu their friends in the past, they have de cided, iu spite of ail other appoint ments, to come to Darlington on the most important day of the year. Ae has been tbe ease in the past, this additional attraction will doubt less draw a large number of people to town. Tbe stock sold by this KLOKKNCK. Meaars W. W. Harllev/of Mar ion, and E.

Last year it was on ly $250. Th liquor deul.TM refuse to takeout the licenses; they claim that they cannot afford to do so, as they do not do as mnch business as they are aupimsed to. At tbe first i lie increase w.is five hundred dol lars, a ml the council suluM-quently incr'-Hsed it to one thousand dollars at the solicitation of several liqnor dealers. At that time it was con* jectured that a joint stuck com anv w. nld be formed, but nothing came of it.

Palmetto Ledge, No. 11, K. of P., ot Lydia, tamiliarly known as “Tne Little Ledge at the Cross Road*.” determined to edehrat*- ihe s-coud anniversary ot its exi*t-Mice by giv ing a grand entertainment. Ac oordingly neat invitation.* tor the occasion wete sent out a niioit ri ue ago, and for some weeks past the fair ladies ot the Lydia axd neigh boring communities have beeu con sidering tbe ways and means for making tbe affair a thoiough suc cess in everp respect. When tbe night of the 26th ef December ar rived, a'l the guests, a nutn ber ot whom were from Darlington, repaired to Masouic Hall, where a public installation of offle-ra for the ensuing term was had, the first time that the ceremony has ever been rendered in public in the State. The services were conduct ed by the Grand Chancellor of South Oarolm.*, who, with bis a* sistauts, wore the handsome uni form of the Order. The public installation having been concluded the line waa tormed and the march begun to Py bian Hall, where tbe banquet was spread This ball, which ia an unusually large one, waa lined ou three sides by an enormous table which was literally loaded down with good things, aud plates were laid for tul ly three hundred gue^is. About two buudred were present, nearlv 'lalfoftbe number being ladies. After a brief but very appropriate address of welcome from Past Chancellor George H. McKee, the guests fell promptly to work pud lost no time in discussing iu a quiet bat most emphatic m tuner the re- spi cir'e merits of the man v dain ties which were spread before them Att i supper Mr. MoKet* an nonuced the regular toasts of the evening, which were responded to as follows: “Our O.der,” by the Grand Ch mcellor; “The Endow* m.-nt Rauk,” Gen.

Roger-, who was to have repouded to “The Uuilorm Ra .k,” but who was un avoidably prevented from att«*u.l iug. After supper the guests groa;»ed themselves about tbe hall and in dulged in pleasant conversation until near mid night. Not a single nnpleasaot incident occurred to mar the evenness of the entertainment, and it was said i>y all present to bavo been tue most bnllaut affair which has been giveu in Darling ton Comity for many a day. All the gnests expressed iu tbe heart* iest terms the pleasure they had experienced, and the Lydia “boys” are certainly to be congratulated upon tbe manner in wb;ch th- ir piogrumme was carried oiit. They showed beyond a doubt that they know bow to euterthiu in a truly hospitable manner. But to the ladies of the community the great est praise is most justly due, for to their noble efforts and generou* hospitality was> due iu a great de gree tbe success of the affair. Un der their skillul hands, the Pytb iau hall bad jeeu really draped with the colors of tbe Order, and their arrangemeut of the mammoth table was most admirable Palmetto Lodge is in a very flour ishiog condition. For this sute of things, the Crder is under obliga tious to Past Chancellor George H. McKee more than any one else.
