Windham, was on his way home from Darlington in company with three negroes, riding in a wagon. Some un pleasantness occurred on the way, and Robert was struck by Charlie Pierce, col., on the*nose which caused the blood to flow very copiously. Robert drew his knife and stabbed Pierce in the heart, which caused instant death in the opinion of Dr. Cole who held a post mortem. The crov/d was so dCfeply in liquor, however, that they did not know that Pierce was dead until they had traveled several miles. These facts were given at the coroner’s inquest by the other two negroes who were on the wagon. In the opinion of the coroner’s jury, Robert stabbed Pierce in self-defence. —The Christmas" holidays just passed have seemed to bring about a re-union of old friends, Mr. C. P.

Later in the day the! | streets were crowded with col-! j ored people who with a rattle of 1 drums and blasts of wind in- i struments, put to flight “hard i i times’’ and enjoyed themselves in a hilarious manner. A nota ble feature was the dashing charge of “Old Santa Claus” and his rival through the streets; both were dressed in a grotesque manner and mounted on huge oxen, one a muley and the other with branching horns. When opposite the postoffice, one being goaded by the spur of the form idable “Santa,” dashed into the othe • goading him severely. During the morning services were held appropriate to the day at the Baptist Church and a Christmas gift to missions con tributed. The Christmas car- roll “Tell again the story,” was sung by a full choir and a large audience listened to the sermon. Then teachers and Sunday- school children indulged i n sports for an hour, when an am ple feast was distributed. On Friday night a sociable of the “Society of Christian Endeavor” was given in the hall which was crowded to its fullest capacity. We have not a full programme, but it was a success. The mu sic and singing was splendid and a number of extraordinary voices were noticed among the singers. “Glory to God in the highest,” “Christmas Bells,” and others were beautifully ren dered. Little Miss Hearon re hearsed very nicely “Kiss-mus- day,” and Miss Maggie Waddill made a nice little speech for the “Little doll.” Master Johnnie W a d d i 11 told us something “About a Mouse.” The social feature was shown off in a very amusing style, and would have to be seen to be appreciated. This event, owing to the unex pected turn it took, “brought down the house” and still dis turbs the gravity of those who witnessed it. In the meanwhile Mr. T. H. Coker was behind the curtain making things lively as he usually does, and, taking in the situation, he continued to ex cite the audience with his droll remarks on the progress of events, and “lucidating” his subject in a stump speech, while a country couple came in mak ing things very lively ; the “high land fling” was tame injeompar- ison. Several brilliant enter tainments ami musical festivals have taken place, Darlington, Dovesville and Marlboro all con tributed with their beauty and talent to the joy and happiness of these occasions. Prof. Angus Gainey, too, did not forget us, and we will not forget him in his distant home and will long remember his efforts to add to the joy and happiness of others. stepped to the front, and show ed more willingness to help the poor down trodden farmers than any other firm in the town of Darlington.
