Good Newt, If 1 rue,
There is a rumor current here
to the effect that there is -to be
a change of schedule on the At
lantic Coast Line next Sunday,
and that the Hartsville train
will leave that place two hours
later in the morning, in accord
ance with the request recently
sent up to Mr. J. R. Kenly. the
General Manager. According
to the same report, the Sunday
train for Darlington will be put
on at the same time, running
from Hartsville to Florence and
back to Darlington in the morn
ing, and from Darlington to
Florence and back to Hartsville
at night. Rumor further has
it that the train from Florence
to Charleston in the morning is
to be restored. If all this is true,
Darlington will have simply an
ideal schedule, the best we have
ever had, and one that could
not possibly be improved upon
in any respect.

A Chance For A Bargain.
Messrs McCullough & Cooley
have been selling some of the
cheapest horses here recently
that we have ever seen. As will
be seen from their advertise
ment which is published in an
other column, they are to have
another big auction sale here on
Saturday next. All who are in
need of horses would do well to
attend it, as it may be many a
day before they will be offered
such an opportunity again. All
of the stock offered by Messrs
McCullough & Cooley is very
fine and the prices at which
they are letting; them go are
simply astonishing.
Edwards & Co. are still offer
ing bargains in clothing. Call
and see them.
The annual meeting of the
Welsh Neck Association is in
progress at Hartsville. The
delegates elected from this
church are Rev. R. W. Lide
and Messrs. W. C. Coker, 8. H.
Bacot. A. C. Coggeshall, A. M.

The Atlantic Coast Line ad
vertises that, on Thursday, Dec.
12th, 1895, beginning at 1.30
o’clock, there will be sold here
at public auction, in front of
the Court House, certain un
claimed articles of freight. The
list of said articles is published
in this issue. The sale will
doubtless be well attended, as
'l^h sales usually are.
“The House on The Marsh.’’
We advertised last summer
that we expected to begin the
publication of a new serial story
entitled “The House on the
Marsh.” Owing to various cir
cumstances, we were prevented
from c> rrying out our promise
at that time, out we are prepar
ed to do so now. The opening
chapters of the story will be
published in our issue of Nov.
28. We advise our readers to
be sure to look out for them, as
they may take our word for it
that “The House on the Marsh”
will interest them exceedingly.
This story is of itself well worth
the price of a year's subscrip
tion to the paper.

The Local Tobacco Market
Messrs. Smoot & McGill, the
enterprising tobacco men, have
recently brought on fifteen ex
pert graders from Virginia to
work at their warehouse. The
price they charge for grading is
80 cents a hundred, wnich is 45
cents less thau the price at Dan
ville and other markets of Vir
ginia and North Carolina.
When there is added to this
the cost of hogsheads, freight,
drayage, &c., tlie advantage to
be gained by selling here in
stead of shipping must be ap
parent at a glance. The sales
at both of the local warehouses
have been usually large »or the
past two weeks, and the prices
E aid have been of the very
ighest.
Just arrived at Brunson, Lunn
& Co.’s—a car-load of genuine
Liverpool salt.
A Wholesale Robber.
A colored boy named Bob Dar-
gan entered Mr. I. Konpel’s store
on Pearl street last Monday eve
ning at about 8 o’clock with in
tent to steal. He was discov
ered hiding behind the counter
before the store was closed for
the night, and ran out, firing
a pistol as he left to frighten off
his pursuers. The boy was cap
tured on the Square the follow
ing day. The shoes he had on
were identified as a pair that
were stolen from Blackwell
Bros, when theirstore was en
tered and robbed some weeks
ago. A search was made of the
premises where Dargan lives,
and other articles stolen from
Blackwell’s store were found,
as well as some things that were
taken from the store of Mr. A.
Hyman a thort time ago.
Friday evening the Ladies’
Floral Fair Association gave
their fourth semi annual fair,
and a very large crowd attend
ed. Nothing but chrysanthe
mums—that handsome flower
that blooms in the fall—could
compete for premiums, and the
collection exhibited was exqui
sitely beautiful. Such a large
display of such magnificent
floral beauties would do credit
to any place, and these fairs
are good things to have. They
are always well attended here,
and it is to be hoped that the
ladies will continue these enter
tainments in their artistic beau
ty and teachings. The rooms
were beautifully decorated and
were thronged with visitors.
