that Miss Henderson has given
pleasure by her visit, and we
hope that this pleasure is mu
tual.

tertainment at Lydia Academy
on the evening of the 26th ult.,

! ties during Christmas. We at-
| tended one at Capt. D. G. Du-
j Bose’s and another at. Mr. H. J.
' DuBose’s. Many pretty young
ladies and handsome young
gents were present, and some of
them did perhaps sit too close
together, talk rather low and
not take a sufficient interest in
the amusements, but it will not
do to cbnsure them much as hu
man nature is prone to such pro
ceedings.
—Christmas begun about a
week in advance of the calendar
date, the first important event
being the marriage of Mr. A.
Bowen DuBose to Miss Olivia
DuBose, at the residence of the

community of DuBoses such an
event as the marriage of two of
the name was one of considera
ble interest. They- received sev
eral handsome and valuable
K resents. They will commence
ousekeeping in a few weeks

opened. Then down with your
“gold-dust” and the road will
be built.
—Christmas week passed off
very pleasantly with beautiful
weather for amusements, sports
and festivities, which were kept
up throughout the holidays. The
first thing observable on Christ
mas morning was an absence of
gates, steps, goods-boxes, etc.,
from their accustomed places—
possibly the gates were not hung
right, nor the steps properly, set
up; at least some people seemed
to think so, as they were in
many cases overhauled, hung
and adjusted on the opposite
side, or piled Mp in the middle of
the streets so as to facilitate
travel. Opinions differ as to
OATS.
—Mr. R. G. Blackman has left

izing a nice little sum for the
good purpose for which it was
intended.
—We hear that the hot sup
per which was given at the Mt.
Elon Academy on the 24th ult.,
was a great success, also the
Christmas store, which was had
in connection with it.

proving rapidly.

oar merchants, has made an as
signment to Mr. D. A. Gray for
the benefit of his creditors.

gone and with it a goodly num

peared.
—On the 23rd ult., Robert
Windham, a lad of 17 years, son
of Mr. Geo. 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. Carter, a former res
ident of this county, but who
for the past 17 years has been
living in Texas, is visiting his
mother, Mrs. Martha Carter, of
Cartersville. Mr. A. P. Stuck
ey and Mr. Oscar Carter, who
were carried from this county
when children by their parents,
and are now living in Georgia
and Florida, are visiting rela
tives at this place and Carters
ville. The fatted calf has been
killed and the biggest cake cut.
— Messrs. L. L. Gray and E,
M. Rogers are arranging to run
a saw mill business about three
miles from this place on the
Timmonsville road.
what is best, especially on Christ-
• mas night. 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.
