This is the ‘‘baby’s” first contribution to that insti tution. Capt. J. C. Blackwell gives notice in this issue that all per sons trespassing on his premises will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Mr. H. H Huggins is at work upon a map of the town which romises, when completed, to most accurate and useful. The execution of it can not be excelled. Mr. M. Bonnoitt is having lumber hauled to his lot on Broad Street, which adjoins Mr. A. Weinberg’s on the east, for the purpose of erecting a resi dence tnereon at a very early date. By reference to the programme published elsewhere in this is sue, our readers will see what is in store for those who attend Mrs. Murray’s entertainment on Friday evening. Mr. C. S. McCullough, as will be seen from his advertisement published in another column, desires to purchase 10,000 old guano sacks from the farmers of Darlington County. Mr. Benj. C. Winston, who for many years has been a resi dent of Larramore City, North Dakota, a town situated in the fa mous ‘‘Black Lands,” is now in Darlington on a' visit to his sis ter, Mrs. T. W. Norment. The lady, who left a small black cashmere shawl in the Opera House, on the evening of the Knights of Pythias benefit, may recover the same by calling at the store of Messrs. Edwards, Norment & Co. Mrs. Jesse E. Gandy, widow of the late A. E. Gandy, of Dovesville, has received from the Staunton Life Association, of Virginia, through their agent, Jfr. J. B. White, $1,000, the iSiount of the insurance upon lie life of Mr. Gandy had in that company. Mr. F. L. Orrell, of Wilming ton, Delaware, a brother of Mr. E. G. Orrell, is on a visit to his parents at their home in Spring- ville. He was run over by a train several months ago and was badly injured but is now rapidly improving. A lighted match carelessly thrown on a pile of cotton in the Sheriff’s office came near result ing disastrously on Monday morning. The cotton caught fire, but the prompt action of those presen* prevented the ames from spreading. Our brass band is a credit to ia town and the young men, it, deserve special The Board of Directors of the County Alliance Exchange met in the exchange office on Mon day, to hear the report of the business agent, Mr. J. W. Fer guson. The report made was most gratifying and the result of the work, so far had, is far better than was expected. The Spartanburg correspon dent of the News and Courier, in his letter of the 7th inst., says : ‘‘Dr. A. T. Baird, of Society Hill, is here looking around with a view to locating for the pur pose of practicing medicine. He is a native of Louisiana and f raduated at the University of ennessee about six years ago. He is well pleased with the out look, and will probably decide to settle here.” Mr. G. B. Howie is at work repairing the dam of the mill pond of Mrs. S. E. S. McCown, which is situated about seven miles from town. The dam has been hxpken for several months. It will be remembered that this is the pond that has caused much litigation in the court for several years past. At the June term it was declared to be a nui sance and sentenced will be pass ed upon it at the coming term of oourt. We have received the first number of Our Church News, published monthly in the inter est of the Marshall (Texas) Sta tion. It is a neat four page paper and abounds in matters of importance and instruction to the religious world. This pub lication is of particular interest to Darlingtomans as it is under the charge of Rev. H. G. Scud- day, the former pastor of the Methodist Church at this pla; e. We are confident that it will serve its good purpose. The New York Comedy Com pany, which favored Darlington with a visit some time ago, re turned this week and gave en tertainments at the Opera House on Monday and Tuesday even ings and last evening. The company has been much strengthened by the addition of some superior actors. On Mon day evening “East Lynne” was played by the troup and the rendition was good. On • Tues day evening a large audience assembled to see the play “Josh Whitcomb,” which received their approval and applause. Indeed the acting in this play was capital. Last night the company played “Hazel Kirke,” but we go to press too early to pass judgment upon the perform- mt opportunity for exhibitions their efficiency and their mu- c always adds much to the en- yment of our entertainments. What has become of the oard of Trade ? Is it dead or ily sleeping? Twice thr ap- tinted time for the meetings ance. An Unusual Casualty. On Saturday evening, Febru ary 1st, while a colored woman, who lives near Mr. D. M. Smoot’s E lace, about three miles from •arlington, was drawing water from a well, the sweep, by means of which the bucket is raised, fell upon her little daughter, Rosanna Williams, aged about 12 years, who was near by. The girl received the full weight of the sweep upon herjiead, which, crushing her skull, resulted in her immediate death. as passed without any apparl nt effort on the part of the oard to hold its regular meet- igs. Surely this is too useful organization to fade away ito nothing. Major Geo. W. Earle is now surveying the tract of land on le Pee Dee River, near Society [ill, upon which Messrs. A. C. Spain and Co. will locate abrick rard. A “spur” will be run from the Cheraw & Darlington lilroad at Society Hill to the river “for the use of this com- ony. The following are the officers )f Rogers Division, No. 3, Uni form Rank, Knights of Pythias, lected for the ensuing year on January 31, and installed last ling: W. E. James, Cap mu ; C. Alexander, 1st Lieuten it; J. A. White, 2nd Lieuten S. Lewenthal, Treasurer; A Child Barurd to Death- On last Sunday night, about 11 o’clock, James Jackson, the little son of Zary Jackson, col ored, who lives on Mr. W. R. Davis’ place, just outside of the town, was burned to death. The clothing ignited from an open fire and the child lived but a few minutes. The Coroner held an inquest on Monday and the jury brought in a verdict to the effect that the child had come to his death by burning as a result of carelessness on the part of the mother. “Westward flo!‘’ A short while ago, Mr. J. F. Hodge informed the public, through the columns of The Darlington News, that he de sired the services of several par ties to assist him in the canvass of the State of Texas, in the in terests of “Hitchcock’s Analysis of the Bible.” As a result we have learned that the following named parties have left for Tex as, in company with Mr. Hodge, and will there conduct the work referred to above : Messrs. R. E. DuBose and J. F. Hart, of Dar lington: Mr. John Garner, of Philadelphia, and Mr. J. E. Co ker, of Timmonsville. Others from this section are expected to join the party in seeking their i in tn will be for sale at Boyd’s drug store ; no reserved seats. From the programme which has been arranged, it is safe to promise an enjoyable evening to all who attend. Gen. Kennedy, who is deservedly popular all over the State, but nowhere more so than in Darlington, is necessarily well informed on the subject upon which he is to speak. He is a most eloquent talker, and is moreover, a man of great per sonal magnetism. That his ora tion will therefore be most in teresting goes without saying. We trust that the people of Dar lington will turn out en masse to hear him, for they will cer tainly be well entertained. The K ot P. Entertainment, The home talent, with its care- fully prepared programme, showed to great advantage at the Knights of Pythias enter tainment, which was given at the Opera House on Wednesday evening of last week. A large audience had gathered to wit ness the performance and there were none who were not most highly entertained. Every one, too, was impressed with the fact that Darlington has decided dramatic talent which, with a little encouragement, could be had to afford our people much pleasure and amusement. But to the play. The perform ance opened with a roaring farce “The Mouse Trap,” in which five ladies and one gentleman participated. The courage of woman in everything, save what concerns a mouse, was excellent ly portrayed and the audience was held in laughter during the whole time. * “The “Mistletoe Bough,” a pantomime in two parts was well executed. The handsome and picturesque costumes were in tasty harmony with the grace ful movements of the ladies and gentlemen in the dance and in their search for the missing bride. The popular song, “Listen to my tale of woe,” as sung by two of our local favorites, was the chief attraction of the evening, and was greeted by the audience with round after round of ap plause. The encores of this were flattering testimonials of its favorable reception. The performance ended with the laughable comedy “John Dobbs,” in which the characters, all and singular, were, without exception, admirably played and an attempt to discriminate would result in an ignominious failure. We will say, however, that “Pater Noster” was with out doubt the “hit” of the play and that “Mrs. Chesterton” and “Miss Lucy” won laurels for themselves from which no future amateurs will in the least degree detract. Nor should we fail to mention “Down went McGinty” which was encored time and again. The gentleman who sang this has every reason to be gratified with his success. The promoters of the play have the thanks of the commu nity and all wish a continuance of their favor. E ASHLAND. —Mr. 8. W.
