FACTS TOWN AND COUNTY. [Continned from Firrt PaKf.] New Mail Facilities. The Charleston, Sumter ami Northern Railroad will begin to; carry mails over its entire line on December 1.

A Case of Infanticide. On Wednesday of last week the corpse of a colored infant was found concealed in a bundle of clothes in a house on the premises of Messrs. J. L. Coker & Co., at Hartsvjlle. A string was tied around the infant’s neck and it was evident that its death was caused from strangu lation. Trial Justice J. A. Smith was notifed ai d, in the absence of the Coronor, held an inquest on Thursday. The jury rendered a verdict that the "infant came to its death by strangulation at the hands of some person or per sons unknown to the jury. Under this verdict Mr. Smith eould not, in the capacity of acting Coronor, take any action in the matter of arrests, but, as a Trial Justice, he has issued a warrant for the arrest of Maggie Rainy, the mother of the in fant, on the charge of murder. True, Every Word of It. The Columbia correspondent of the Xews and Courier says: "The representative ofthe.Vctc.s Mud Courier took a leisurely walk out to the Fair grounds to-day to note the progress. The grounds are alive with all man lier of articles. The van-guard is there, the horses, the swine, the cattle, the poultry, etc. The president of the association, Mr. Mclver, is there; in fact he is everywhere where work is to be done. He has very studiously avoided having anything said about him in the newspapers, but when a light is set upon a hill all men (even reporters) must see it. President Mclver is the soul of the Fair. He has been modestly, but all the same energetically at work, and es pecially to offset the heavy drains against this State which have been made and are likely to be made in the form of com Fact 1—Quality. Fact 2—Variety. Fact 3—Reliability. Fact 4—Economy. Fact 5—Full value. Fact 6—We sell as low as we can. Fact 7—No one can sell lower. Fact 8—Reputation is business. Fact 9—We want your custom. Fact 10—You want our goods. Fact 11—We want you to call and see for yourselves. RESPECTFULLY, Edward! Nurmi Si Co Shots for ladies, hikes.

With all due re spect to previous presidents, none has exceeded Mr. Mclver in his attention to matters of detail and personality. As a result of all this the exhibits have been very largely increas ed, and everybody predicts a Fair that will eclipse all the fairs of previous years.” Thanking the public for their liberal patronage and assuring them that we shall do all in our (lower to merit a continuance.

When a man says he is Satisfied, he means a great deal. One of the policy-holders of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, Mr. Charles A. Edwards, of New York, who, in ISTJ, took a twenty-year Tontine policy with the Equitable for 410,000, writes as follows: “7 am extremely well satisfied with this result, obtaining more than $1,000 in excess of all the premiums 1 \ hate paid, in addition to having enjoyed the protection of my policy during j the twenty years it has been in force I am loath to part with such an old I friend as this policy has been to me, but in doing so, I do not propose to part Wo 1,.,Hnp nf fionts Yoiitiu mil f’I.^iliinir company with the KguiUiblt, haring applied for another Tontine policy, the we nave an elegant iineot oents, loutlis ami liovs Uot lung | ^^Aunder which I also hope to obtain during my lifetime.' Another, Mr Nathaniel Wilson, of Washington, writes in relation to policy No 09,313 as follows: “I tool; out a Tontine policy in your Company for 420,000. The policy has been settled to my satisfaction. / have since taken out policies of the same kind for 450,000, because I am satisfied that the Tontine plan is to be preferred to any of which I have knowledge." If these statements were from the widows or executors of policy-holders who had died, they would be significant, or, if they were from policy-holders who were satisfied with their assurance because it furnished i rotectiou, and gave 111 GEHTS’ FURNISHING GOODS every style—Gents’ Suits from $3 to $30 per sait.

They have reason to be satisfied. For twenty years they have been building up their business and accumulating fortunes) and meanwhile their families and estates have been protected against the disaster whicli would have come, if through some accident they had died prematurely. But these dangers have now been passed, and what is the result? Must they say, " We have paid out a great deal of money in premiums, but we have en joyed the protection of our assurance, and are satisfied that our money has been well spent: we hate nothing more to expert, and have nothing further to ask." They might say this, and be content, but they are able to say much more than this, thus: "We are more than satisfied because, in addition to the protection given for all these years, our Tontine policies have turned out lobe good INVESTMENTS, as is proved by the fact that the Equitable has returned all that we have paid, with interest added " Think of it!
