Mr. Bailor: For this season of the year busi ness is exceedingly dull, and sexcral of our merchants are weaiing lung faces. The prosperous and enter | rising t among them, however, have not. only enlarged their stocks I) it I beau tilled and improved their place*. Your former fell >w-eiti/.ou, Mr. \V. C. Mitchell, has contributed largely in this latter respect. His skill as i painter has made many unsightly objects beautiful. Mr. A. F. II. Dul>_e&, the lead ins; men h int her", employed him liest, and as he is not only a good citizen but a popular man, many of our residents followed his example, much to tho benefit of the town and community. Nothing addsso much to the attractiveness of ; a place as fresh paint. Thore is but I one store hore now dirty and black, ami I I would advise its owner to put on a little enterprise, throw otT his cornfield notions, and brighten up uia exter ior. Mr. Edward Carroii, recently Ap pointed J rial Justice, is giviug satis faction. He is a man of considerable intelligence, and withal, a gentlomin of the oid schooi, which rua^os it safe to say that bo will do nothing wrong knowingly. A number of deaths have occurred here lately, owing, 1 suppose, to the fact that the Council permits certain of our citizens to make ?jpig ?ty| of the place. There are more hogs raised in the immediate town of Branchville than in any other placj in the State numbering live times its iuhabitants. Aul for this wan ton n/.c^>)' Iasa for swine, the place gives up annually a number of precious lives. For a little sausage and pud ding some seem willing to jeopardize the lives of their families !

Our popular fe'Iow-citizcn, Mr A. 1.01 yea, I regret to say, speaks of leaviig this place. His absence will be a positive loss to Urachville, as his go.lia'ity, together with the cjurtly mano rs of his son, Mr. W. L. have done much to add to the gr.1u.3S and [i rngn s.s of the t?? tvn.

It may be given in a word or a look with' ut diminishing aught of our wealth. With courtofies nlotn we may illumine our pathway, aud pluck down blessings which no gold could purchase. To be brotherly, to befriend, and cheer, and console as far as in us lie. ihete are the crown ing graces ol humanity?and all these arc born oi kindness. It is anger, breeding hate and contumely, that has liilcil the earth with misery aud ruin. Anger between kindred and races, before which all that is beautiful in man vanishes, leaving only tho wild, lieioeiiuimal of bis being. Families divided, friends parted, communities at h ud, and nation w.trriug against nation?these ura the fruits ofutiger. It has begotten the fullest uf crilUos. But kiudness iu proportion as the>e has been the ruling spirit among men . peace and happiness folio we I. The home hear h has been the centre of paradise, and the community a fra ternal elysium: Verily, "Better is a dry crust and quietness therewith khan a house full of sacrifice with strife.'' Let m study and strive to be kind, no matter how seemingly trivial the occasion nor how small the promised fruit. It, is the ouly language of our nature that isuniver sal and irresistable. ???? ? - ? IUL.II - Office-Seekers. There is nothing more demoraliz ing to the country than tho vast hoard of oflice seekers w hich like so many parasites are preying upon tho poli tical vitals of the country. Just at this juncture in our political history it really seems as if, since Radicalism is in abeyacce, that it would be best for all loyal citizens to solidly unite in a campaign against any man who desires to run for an office Lot gentlemen thoroughly understand that office is to seek a competent official and not the official to seek the oflice, ?Olarentlon /Vww. John Russell Young, the New York Herald correspondent accomp anying General Grant iu tho trip | around the world, is said to get $5, 000 a year for his services. C. P. Leslie Heard From. The Sumtcr Watchman publishes the following extract from a letter received by a Republican iu that town from a colored man named Stuart, recently removed from the plaee to Kansas : MC. P. Leslie Land Cumin iesioher, aud sometime boss ot Burnwell County, is here. He bus been enjoying perfect obscurity till L found him out He was very nervous on the subject of being carried back to South Carolina for? till I meution ed to him the infamous compromise that took place in Charleston in, April. That intelligence threw him into convulsions of joy. He says the only thing he is sorry for is that he did not steal the whole God damned State of South Caroliua, and if ho i had to do it again, he would try his level best to steal it all; that none but a lool would suppose a man was going to risk his life in the South without stealing whatever he could get hold of. "Taint human nature," said tho old veteran thief as he warmed up with his theme. He has been here for near two years." The people of Kan sas had better keep their eyes ou tho old scamp as he may take a notion to steal chat State. An Editor's Vacation. About six weeks ago a parson entered ourotficouud proposed tosell us a new-fangled "fountain pan." The rash youug mac at length men tioned as u recommendation that the pen held ink enough to last through twenty-four hours' incessant writing, and obviated the tedious necessity of dipping in the ink-stand. Thereupon we exclaimed : "Dear young iriend, would you deprive us of our vaca tion ?" "I don't understand," ho replied. "Why," said we, "the only vacation we get is while we are dtp ping our pen in the inkstand, and no> man .-hall deprive us of that. Please go away with your vacation extingu isher. He saw we wer? in earnest, and he went, no* even daring to offsr us one of his "fountains" as a'gift, aud ae dipped our old-fashioned pen. j in our muddy old ink-stand au i took a rest. Nothing is easier than to grow rieti. It is only to trust nobody?-to I. efrieud none?to get all you can and .-ave all you get?to stint yourself and everybody belonging to you?to be the friend of no man aud have no man for your friend?to heap inter est, cent upon cent?!o be mean, miserable and despised for some twenty or thirty years?and richea will come as sure as disease aud dis appointment. And when pretty nearly enough wealth is collected by a disregard of all charities of tho hu - man heart, aud at the expeuse of every enjoyment, death comes to fin ish the work, tho body is buried in a hole, and the heirs dance over it, and the spirit goes? Where* Some of our exchanges, says tho Georgetown "Timos,'' are afraid to < omni it themselves. They want to hear what the conventiou has to say fust, und then they promise to give a big hurrah for the man who is nomi nated fbi Governor* Every honest and thinking rann must have an opin ion for his own, and if he has cm let him speak it out and not wait to see if he is on the "popular" side beforo he lots us know where he is. This is a free country, brethren of the press, and let us net like freemen and not like dumb driven cattle. The Democrats will havo from two to three majority in tho Senate in spite of everything the Republicans can do, until 1883. After that there may be a deluge. Some people think the day of judgment will then have been ono ycai old. So, lot as pro servo our tempers for a few years yet. Beware of little thiugs!
