When Harrell's car load of wagons was hauled up from the depot last week, and piled up on the Square in a promiscuous stack of wheels, axles, bodies &c, some six feet high and sixty in circumference, people gazed in wonder at it, and stopped to ask whether the man had bought out a factory. Messrs. G. W. Aimar & Co., whose advertisement appears in this issue, are the proprietors of one of the oldest and most relia ble drug houses in the metrop olis of the State. They solicit the patronge of the people of the Fee Dee Section, antee that all orders will be carefully filled. Rev. D. M. Pearce baptized 21 persons at Pleasant Grove Church, near Dr. J. C. Willcox’s planation, on Sunday, Sept. 28, and 50 more at the same place on Sunday, Oct. 5. At a meet ing of the congregation on the last named day, Dr. Pearce was elected pastor of the’church by An Enormous Business. The report of the Darlington ostoffice for the quarter ending ept. 30 shows that there were 203 letters registered during that period. Tne amount taken in for money orders during the week ending Sept. 30 was $1,- 103.93, while the receipts from the sale of postal notes during the same period were $92.62. A; moment’s reflection on these points will show that the busi ness of the office must be enor mous compared with what it was a year or two ago. A Popular Preacher. A Fairfield county correspond ent writing to the News and Herald recently says: “Rev. A. McA. Pittman has just closed a series of meetings at Mt. Zion Church, assisted by his father. People were pleased with Rev. Pittman, Sr.’s, earnest, per suasive and eloquent sermons.' As to Rev. A. McA., to know him is to admire him. He fully comes up to the requirements of pastor, friend, neighbor and citi zen. We never knew until he came in our midst that farming and preaching could be success fully carried on’under the same hat.’’ Real Estate Rransfers.
