Mr. Ed wards contiutics as publisher and ad vertising contractor and will in n<> way abate his zeal for the continued prosperity of the paper. For the general accommodation of onr subscribers we have determined to change the day of publication of | the Times from Fritlay to Thursday hereafter. I oder mir present mail arrangements the paper gets to some of our subscribers when it is several days old. This is especially the case with persons living on either aide of the Iiarnwell and Aiken lines, whose mail reaches them from points on the Augusta brauch <>f the S. O. R. R. By the change all will get the paper fresh and newsy, aud we hope to see many additions to our sub scription list. Glorious sunshine again. Subscribers indebted to the Timf.s, or subscribing, will make payment to Air. Kirk Robinson at his store. Col. W. J. DoTreville aeted Solici tor for the present Court in the ab sence of M r. Jervev. Wo m e told that Col. 1*. S. Felder killed a porker this season weighing oAO pounds. There was some expert skating on the ieeou our streets this week which created considerable diversion. The recent cold snap \v:is the sc verest we have ever known. The sleet and rain has undoubtedly done much injury to stock. We understand there a very objec tionable species of gambling has been going on all the week. Why arc such things licensed in our town? On Christmas noriiinga row ook place between some peddlers and col ored people, the result of which was the cutting of a colored man and the locking tip of a peddler. Ae are indebted to T. < '.

Wanna raakcr is Clerk. Mr. T. (). Dnwson was elected Janitor of the Court House. We a re pained to learn of the death of a listlc (laughter of Mr. James Huugcrpillcr, on the 2(>th of Decem ber, INNO, in the third \ear of her age. The bcreavtd parents will find consolation in the thought that "of such is the kingdom of Heaven." The Firemen's Fair turned out, as was expected, a most signal .suc cess. We understand that over two thousand dollars have been realized and the engine has been (denied of debt. There is nothing impossi ble with the holies. Mr. Ij. II. Wannamakcr has been appointed Deputy Clerk of Court. This appointment will give general satisfaction, as Mr. Wanntiinnkor has had vast experience in clerical duties, and is, withal, a faithful busi ness man, and a courteous gentle man.

As an ex-pupil of the High School I of ( harloston. by association, wc feel a'natural pride in the recent enlarge ment und promised future prosper! ty of this school. We bear of seve ral boys of our town going down as pupils. Our old College mate. Vir gil ('. Dibble is the able principal. The recent freeze rendered naviga tion on our streets and sidewalks extremely-dangerous. There was many a slip, and sontelimesa rather I undignified fall on the way to busi ! ness. In otir mishaps we derived I much consolation in the t hough! thai true pluck consists, not in never fall ing, but in rising again ever* time we fall. I Vert interesting Sunday School services were held on last Sunday I afternoon at the Lutheran Church under the Superintendanee of Kov. d. F. Kiser. the pastor. Excellent ad dresses were delivered by l)r, Opoke i and I'rof. Law ranee, and a number of the children of the Sunday School I entertained tie audiuice with well recited and appropriate selections. Two alarms of lire have been given si nee our last issue. On Christmas Kve uight the lirenien ami citizens were i-allod out, the con c of the alarm hciug a roof on lire in Tread wel| l"l which was soon put out. The alarm on Sunday morning was caused by the burning out of a stove line i:i the colored Presbyterian ( hutch. An interesting Christmas tree cele bration was heid :il Reihe) ( hurch on the 1? 1th December. After appropri ate remarks by Mr. I lamp. Mil ler, the eflh icnt Superintendent, the presents were distributed to the little ones. There was a line turn out tipou the occasion, and tlie interest mani fested re Heels credit upon this thriv ing i'ointmiuit v. On Christmas Kve night Ex-(io\\ Scott at his home in Ohio killed a young mail clerking in a drugstore who had been carousing with Scott's son. There was little or no provoca tion but (low Scott claims that his pistol went off accidentally. The young man was to be married in a few days ami public sentiment is very niiich excited against the mur derer. There will be a meeting of the Charleston Convocation of the Epis copal Church at the Church of the Redeemer in our town on next Thurs day, services to commence at 1 I o'clock in the niorning. Bishop Howe ami other ministers are ex pected to be present. A cordial invitation is extended to ihe public to attend, and we hope thai all who can will avail themselves of the opportunity of religious bene lit. Sam Dempsoy, horse thief, was placed in our Jail some time back awaiting orders from the S her ill' of I Richlnnd in which County he com mitted his offense. A few weeks ago ihe Deputy of the Richlnnd Sheriff came for him, but the cunning fellow walcited his chance and made his escape at our deport. The Sheriff immediately offered a reward for his recovery upon which Mr. A. F. Browning tracked him lo a hovel in the lower pari of Orangcburg, captur ed him and put him in his buggy and delivered hint into our County ?fail, burin* the Christinas holi days he was transferred to the Rich laud Jail. ..._i ml_' i_i.?J - - '-??-i Election of officers Shibboleth Lodge No. 28, A.

The inmates arc represented as needing more clothing, and the cook has liren recommended for discharge for ap propriating the provisions for private use. It is also recommended losel] the Poor House farm. All the differ ent public offices were visited and re ported in good condition, with the cx ceptiou of better furniture being needed for sonic of them. We had the pleasure on Christmas Eve of attending a most interesting Christnvis tree celebration at Jami son's under the Hiispiees of the ex cellent Sunday School of which Mr. K. II. Kiley is Superintendent. After speaking by the Superintendent and a visitor, the glittering Christmas gifts on the tree were distributed to Lhn expectant assembly, both little and big. Nor in the general distri tuition, was it forgotten to make the editor's heart happy too by a very acceptable present. This Sunday School is well conducted and in fine ? onditiou. Long may it prosper. A species of bitterness and factious opposition is exhibited iu some parts of our County by the colored people which I he sooner they give up the bet ' tor it will be for them. In some places it is reported li- :' .hey .are keep ing their children from the schools provided for them by the Democratic administration from political stuborn ik-hs. We would only say to the col j ored people that the waters of educa tion arc freely offered to whites and blacks alike, and he who refuses to j drink will have none but himself to blame. The Democratic parly will do its duty fully ami fairly to all. We are glad to welcome our young friend, Mr. Stielten Bull, back to bis obi home after several years in Ala ! baina, where he had gone in pursuit I of business. He is now ogagod with tho prosperous house of d. (.'. Pike, Esq., iu our town. It J pleases us to see that Mr. Bull litis established the reputation abroad that In- has always enjoyed at home: for thrill and integrity, as the fol lowing extract from a no: ice of him I in the ??Herald and Times" of Union Springs. Ala., shows: "Mr. Hull has made a great many fricuds and acquired an excellent reputation ::' a business man. The wishes of his friends go with him fori iiis happiness ami prosperity in his new Held of labor." Our eitizenn have been shocked by the sudden death on Monday night of M r. .lohn Addon from paralysis of I the heart. Mr. Addcu was on old and ! highly respected merchant and un asumiug of manner and ?t man of the strictest business integrity. In his dealings with men he impressed upon j all a senst* of the honesty of his heart ? and the kindness of bis disposition. He was sin active jpcinber of the Luth eran ( lunch. 11) his death, the com muuitv has lost a useful oitiy.cn, the church t; devoted member, and his family a loving father and husband. His funeral services were performed at the Lutheran Church on Wednes day morning by Ucv. J. F. Kiser a large number of citizens attending to pay the last tribute of respect to his memory. Our heart felt sympathies are extended to the bereaved family. We have been furiiishedby Secreta ry Kirk Uobinson with an account ol the proceedings of the Patrons and Farmers -Mutual Aid Association at their anurital meeting last Saturday, dun. Is'.. President W. F. Bar ton made his annual report able re counting t he t rausact ions of i be year. He gives the encouraging information that ?'there has been a steady increase in membership." He says "we now number lU2,au increase of 214 during the. year, giving a mortuary premium of $11U(>." lie recommends that ef forts bo made to increase the mein bcrship, until the mortuary premium reaches$1000. The Association has been called on for two mortuary as sessments during the year. The one on Mrs* Lou Fehler has been prompt ly met, and the other on Mr. I). W. Sncll, although so recent, is being promptly paid in. The advantage of the mutual insurance plan over the stock plan is shown by ih<> President in the recital of the failures of slock companies, the most recent and prom inent of which is the Piedmont, and Arliugtou Company,while no failures have occurcd in mutual companies. He also sets forth that itis the cheap est us well :ts the safest mode. Treas urer YY. Sj. Marlon's report of the fi nance* shored the Association to be in sound condition. President Barton declined n: election and Mr. II. L. Rickcnhackcr was unanimously elected in his place. The remaining olllcers were re-elected. The Court of Geueral Sessions whs convened here on Monday by his honor.Judge T. J. Muckay. It was generally expected that (Jeorge Boli ver, the former clerk, would appear and contest, the ollice before Judge Mackcy. He however did not present his ease, either in person or by attor uey,aud Mr. RohinsoU, the Democrat ic Clerk, proceeded with his business undisturbed. Uit Tuesday the Grand Jury presented Mr. Boliverfor indict ment for failing to turn over the books papers A'C, pertaining to the Clerks ollice to his successor Mr Kohin.-oii. I;poll this presentment a lu nch warrant was issued, and Mr. Boliver was brought, into Court to show, caiise for his conduct, and to answer the indictment, which accord ing to the statutes of I.805. renders him liable to a line of If 1000 and one year imprisonment. Bail was there fore fixed at $1000, and Mr. Boliver upon notification, deposited $1000 cash sis security for appearance when the case is tried, which was set for Thursday. Boliver claims that he was ousted from the ollice by force, and that he ' did not turn over because he was elec ted his ow n successor. Outside of this political matter, there was noth ing of importance before Court, dames S ist iu nk and A roil Clover col ored, indicted for stealing a bale of I cotton from Mr. Oliver Faruum, pleaded guilty. Win. and Prank Ancrum, charged with stealing hogs from Mr. T. F. Burton, were acquit ted. William Wilkins charged with stealing a cow from Cube Hurt was also acquitted. William Weldon was tried und convicted of stealing a watch from Mr. II. I. Smith. Henry Johtii-.ou, indicted for burglary,plead ed guilty. S. J. Morph tried for stealing corn irom < . K.
