We call the attention of our
readers to the town notices ap
pearing elsewhere in this . issue
as they contain matters of im
portance.
Messrs. Dargan & Lide are
selling a lot of fancy note paper
at cost and it would repay one,

been dangerously ill for some
time, still remains verf sick,
but his many friends trust that
he will soon recover.
Rev. L. D. Pass, D. D., who
for many years was pastor of
the Baptist Church at Timmons-
ville, but now of Michigan, is
on a visit to relatives in Marion
County.
The Mortimer Comedy Com
pany rendered the humorous
play “Larking” at the Opera
House last night. A more ex
tended notice of the performance
will be given in our next issue.

ney Brass Band, of which he
was for a long time the faithful
and efficient leader.
The Bank of Darlington at
a recent meeting declared a
semi-annual dividend of five
S 3r cent, for the year 1889. The
ank is in a flourishing and
healthy condition as the above
fact clearly demonstrates.
On Tuesday afternoon the
several ladies’ missionary socie
ties of the town were addressed
by Miss Bella Hume, a former
missionary to India. Her sub
ject was the work in that coun
try afid the address was well di
rected and interesting.
For the information of the
public we will state that the of
fice at the depot will hereafter
be open every day except Sun
days from 7.30 A. M. to 5.30 P.
M., and that on no account will
it be closed between these hours.
The services for the Week of
Prayer are held every night
this week at the Presbyterian
Church. These services are in
structive and interesting and
are well attended. As has been
previously stated, they will close
on Sunday night at the Baptist
Church at 7.30 o’clock.
The Marion Pee Dee Index,
lan. 1st, says: A tenant house
slonging to John Siskron, of
rlington, situated near Mr. W.
Gregg’s, was burned last
Wednesday night. The origin
of the fire is not known.
Dr. J. S. Garner has purchas

erect several residences on the
adjoining lot. .Mr. Williamson

The Marion Pee Dee Index,
Jan. 1st, says: Dr. W. B. McGirt
and Miss Maggie McDougall, of
Little Rock, were married Mon
day morning at the residence of
Capt. W. H. Steed. Immediate
ly after the marriage they left
for Darlington which will be
their home m future. They car
ry with them the best wishes of
a large circle of friends in this
county.
Mb. J. E. Norment, at the re
quest of the News and Courier,
has consented to receive contri
butions from Darlington for the
[Jefferson Davis Memorial Fund.
|Ahy subscriptions for this laud
able purpose sent to Mr. Nor-
[ment will be immediately for
reached Darlington and the doc
tors report several cases, all
however, of a mild type. Mr.
W. H. Ryan, the insurance
agent, was compelled to return
last week to his home in Colum
bia, on account of ah attack of
this malady. He is again in
town, however, much improved.
The following have been elect
ed officers of Darlington Lodge,

On January 1st the town or
dinance, requiring a license of
$500 for the sale of liquors, went
into effect. At a meeting of
the Town Council on the night
previous to that date an effort
was made to reconsider the
whole matter, but without, suc
cess. During the past year
there were eleven bar-rooms in
Darlington. The proprietors of
three of these failed to renew
the license and two have form
ed a copartnership, making a
total of seven bar-rooms now in
operation.
Yomig Mon to the Front.
Messrs. George E. Dargan and
E. J. Lide have purchased the
Darlington Book Store and will
hereafter conduct the book bus
iness under the firm name of
Dargan & Lide. These young
men are well known in Darling
ton, both having been raised in
this place, and enjoy fully the
confidence and esteem of our
people, which, together with the
ability they possess, betoken
them a Successful future. We
are pleased to see young men
coming to the front, for of such
is the bone and sinew of our
country, and we feel assured
that Messrs. Dargan & Lide will
add strength to the already grow
ing circle of Darlington’s young
business men.
A Beneficial ('hauffe
The following extract from a
communication, which explains
itself, will be of interest to the
people of Darlington :
Railway Mail Service, 1
Office of Chief Clerk, j
Charleston, S. C., Jan. 6, 1890.
Postmaster,
Darlington, S. C.
Upon request of this office
General Superintendent Divine
has kindly instructed to hold
this train 30 minutes after sched
ule time for train 66.
R. E. Mansfield,
Chief Clerk.
Train 66 is the morning train
from Charleston, which brings
the mail from the South, and, as
the freight coming from Flor
ence in the morning will hereaf
ter wait thirty minutes for this
train, this will ensure a prompt
delivery of the mail from the
South every morning at Darling
ton. The News expressed the
belief, a short time ago, that, if
he attention of the proper au
thorities were called to the in
convenience that our people suf
fered on account of the failure
of the freight to bring the mail,
the matter would be remedied.
That this matter has been ar
ranged will be welcome news to
all and the thanks of the com-
munity’are due Mr. R. E. Mans
field and Superintendent Divine
for their kindness in coming to
our assistance.
Sale Day.
Monday was “January Sale
Day,” and, as usual, the town
was crowded with visitors from
the surrounding country; in
fact the large number of people
in town caused us to wonder if
any had been left at home at all.
The usual trade among the mer
chants was done and the amount
of “horse swapping” indulged in
was much greater than usual.
The official sales, too, were
large as wnl be seen by the fol
lowing :
The Clerk sold, in the case of
Francis J. Pelzer vs T. P. King
et al, a tract of land containing
94 acres, to G. W. Brown
for $800 and, in the case of J. A.
McMillan vs H. C. Rast et al
and Priscilla Jones, the lot in
the town of Darlington com
monly known as the “Jones
lot” which faces on Main Street,
adjoining the Baptist
Church yard, was sold to J. B.
Law for $1,300. Mr. Law after
wards transferred his bid to Mr.
C. Mooney whc bought the lot
at the above named price. The
Rast lot, adjoining the preced
ing lot, was sold to Mr. J. A.
McMillan for $2,455. Mr. Mc
Millan transferred his bid to
J. B. Law who purchased the
lot at $2,500.
The Sheriff made the follow
ing sales of real estate : In the
case of 8. Lane vs Phillip Par
rott, a tract containing 75 acres
was sold to S. Lane for $100 ; in
Byrd for $150, and in the case
of James L. Coker vs Laney
Aaron, 105 acres were sold to
John McSween for $100. Be
sides these sales, the Sheriff
made an unusually large num
ber of sales of personal proper
ty, none of which, however,
were of general interest.
Letters Uncalled For.
The following unclaimed let
ters remain in the postbffice, Dar
lington, 8.0., for the weekend
ing January 4, 1890. Persons
calling for these letters will

Mr- George Webb.
In deference to the expressed
wishes of a larger part of the
community, Mr. George Webb
has abandoned his original pur
pose of retiring from the restau
rant business and is now at his
old stand prepared to serve his
customers. Mr. Webb is an ex
cellent caterer and the public
will be glad to learn that he has
yielded to the earnest solicita
tions of his friends and that
hereafter, as formerly, he will
dispense to the wants of the
inner man. This is welcome
