THOMPSON, - - THURSDAY, DEC. 181890 has been in session for several weeks at Ocala, Florida, has adjourned. Col. L. L. Polk was re-elected president.

A SAD DAY FOR THE STATE Our very worst fears have been realized, and AV ade Hamp ton has been retired from the United States Senate to make room for J. L. V- Irby. I hat Hamptou was the choice of the Democratic party in the State, there is net a shadow of a doubt, and it is something grange that our legislature, re- esentingas itdoesthe ‘people’s party” could not bring itself to the pass of carrying out the people’s wishes. As has been truly said, Wade Hampton is greater in his defeat than Irby is in the midst of his victory. If we mistake not the present temper of the people of the State, their vindication of the grand old leader will come at no very distant day, and when it docs come, will be most com plete and overwhelming The Democrat in this county who for the sake of harmony ,vote the Hollo/iy Wall, a dissolute,.. , . ..,,0,.,, ... . ... mechy^> last week near straight Tillman ticket at the ShelVT North Carolina, shot recent election has the satisfae- cilled his wife, wounded tion of feeling that there is at '' !I^!mself 1 * aU ’ an< * t * ,cn i least one member of the legisla- The highest church spire in ‘he world has just been com pleted.

One of the facta which the philolog ical thcoriste wore surest of was that the horse was brought with them into Europe by t!ie first Aryan immigrants from Asia.

Suckling Brothers, who own a large sheep ranch near Murrurondi, New South Wales, Australia, are for the third season using an odd sheep shearing de vice driven by compressed air.

Bo it further ordained that for th purposes of holding and giving op portunity to the electors of said town to register as above required, that three (8) managers of said registration to be appointed by the Mayor, shall meet at the Council Chamber of the Town of Darlington and after taking the following oath: “That they will impartially regi ter all voters who may present themselves to take the above prescribed oath,” shall take down and keep a record of all persons who present themselves for registra tion and for the purpose of allowing the said electors to register, the said managers shall meet at the Ctuncil Chamber on the mornings of the 13th base of the handle oi the machine to ; work backward and forward with light ning like rapidity. This piston sets a bar in motion, and the bar working on a pivot causes the cutting teeth to osci'late very rapidly over the rigid teeth of the comb below. A stationary air pipe runs along the side of the sheep shed, and each machine is connected to it with a flexible robber tube. The operator seizes his sheep, the air is turned on and the fleece peels off as if by magic.
