Bear, of Ch irlesto i, spent •several days in Darlington last week. Chancellor Johnson, of Marion, .spent the first of the week in Dar lington. Rev. H. M. Breaaly, a native and r" -former resident of Darlington, was in town on Monday. McCall and Burch have prepared for the hot weather by putting up a very handsome awning. The time for preaching at the Methodist church has been changed from half past eleven to eleven o’clock Darlington has not bragged like some towns about her growth, but prefers peojile to come and judge for themselves. Rev. J. A. Rice if in Marrion as sisting at a meeting in the Methodist church, but will be back in time to fill his own pulpit on Sunday. lake to build-it at all, especially as the road beyond has never been open ed. The design was to give another road to the Spring, but nothing has ever beon done about it, and the bridge is practically useless, even if it were possible to drive across it. We like to see improvements, but the umber ought to be carefully consid ered before hand, and the town saved, as in this case, the useless expendi ture of money. see Brick stores are were it not for the fact that we in them the evidences of improve ment, the sight of so much brick and lumber would grow monotonous. The city papers are all right if you want them, but it is the local paper that advertises your business, your schools, your churches, your numerous societies, sympathizes with you in your affliction and rejoices in your prosperity. In short, it is your local paper that mentions the thou sand and one items in which you are interested during the . year, and which you do not find in the city papers. On Thursday night last, or rather Friday morning, between two and three o’clock, an attempt was mode to burn the house on Pearl Street, occupied by Susan Dickson. The wood work had been saturated with kerosene, and had just been set on fire, when the chief of police, who happened to be passing by, discover ed the fire and put it out. All the buildings in the vicinity arc of wood and the lire, if it bad gained much headway, might have been a pretty large one. No clue to the perpetra tor. Darlington wont have an arch at Columbia, but will be very largely represented by its people, and that will be better, for they will spend some money in Columbia and help in this way. Besides this the Guards are going and we feel sure that they will acquit themselves creditnb'y. A ’^7“ r , 1 prominent merchant of Columbia, still going up, and . .

The meeting of the Y in speaking of this matter, informed the editor that the people of Colum bia would rather have the Guards to attend than for Darlington to have erected a half dozen arches. Sum- reached! tor’s arch claims to represent the beyond 1 garden spot of South Carolina. Of rapidly | course the man that said that has. never visited the Pee Dee section. i Memural Day Has Passed and Gone. The 10th of May, decoratipn day, falling on Sunday, Friday last was selected for the memorial services. If any one could be found who im- magines that our dead soldiers are being forgotten, they could very easily have seen their mistake if they had been present at the exercises on Friday. The people assembled at the Baptist church where the ser vices consisted in singing two pieces of music suitable for the occasion and an earnest prayer by the Rev. J. G. Law, pastor of the Presbyterian Church. A large number of little girls and young ladies, under charge of Miss Corinue Player, marched in procession to the different cemeteries and decorated the graves of our gal lant dead. The boys also very ap propriately took part in the march ing. The procession was escorted by the Darlington Guards and the Kinghts of Pythias, both in full uniform. The crowd at the Monu ment was very large, and there is not a building in Darlington that could have held this large assemblage. The orator of the day, Mr. E. 0. Woods, was presented by E. Keith Dargan Esq., and forcibly and elo quently paid tribute to the constancy, courage and endurance of the Con federate Soldier. The following is a brief synopsis of Mr. Woods’s ad dress: The speaker briefly, but very lucidly alluded to some of the great struggles recorded in history and then compared them with the late war; proving conclusively that, tak ing everything into consideration, and comparing the resources of the two sections, the Confederate States made the grandest effort that spe Stuffed birds and animals, Indian relics and curiosities, photographic views of buildings, farms and scene ry, one of a kind.

Work is still being pushed on the new brick stores to which we have already called attention, and they and others to be erected will be rea dy for the Fall trade. It may be well to state that these buildings are not in need of tenants, having been engaged before their erection was be gun. After suffering horribly for years from scrofula in its worst form, a young son of Mr. R. L. King, 70ft Franklin st, Richmond, Va., was re cently cured by the use of Ayor’s Sarsaparilla. No other medicine can approach this preparation as a clean ser of the blood. A good many intelligent cPizeus have expressed grave fears as to the wisdom of putting boxes into our large drainage ditches, and then fill ing them up. At best it is very doubtful, unless we had a thorough system of tile drainage, if they will carry off the surplus water as rapidly and as thoroughly as it should be done. pect.

C. While. The re moval was rendered necessary in order that the old building might be removed to make room for a large brick store, to be erected by Wilcox &<Jq. The post .office will, in a few months, have nice quarters in a brick building, near its former site. The union service on Sunday night, at the Baptist church, was very largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev. J. A. Rice pastor of the Methodist church. The ser vices on next Sunday night will be at the Presbyterian church, and will be conducted by Rev. G. B. Moore, of the*Baptist church. Messrs. A. C. Spain & Co. have ordered a new brick machine, and when it is put into operation they can supply brick of the finest quali ty. They scut some clay from their yard at Society Hill, to SL Louis and the specimen brick sent back was as good us they cun well bo made, fhe ones we inspected were carried round in a satchel and not in anybody's hat. The bridge, over the creek, at the foot of Spring st., is impassable, but we hardly think our town authorities would be justified in spending the mosey to put it and its approaches in good order. In fact it was a mis- I of keeping th» bridge in repair. With very few exceptions we think the work of the council, for several years past, has been very judicious, and has contributed no little to the growth of the town. It must be re- nieml>ered that the expenses of a growing town are, of necessity, very heavy, and it is unreasonable to ex pect two much work to be done at one time. Every member of the coun cil lias the interests of the town at heart, and, while they sometimes make mistakes, may be trusted to do all in their power for its improve ment. The June Peterson is as bright as the month which it ushers in. This general favorite of half century de servedly gains each year a deeper hold on the reading public. This number opens with two beautiful en gravings, a double colored fashion plate, attractive needle work designs. “In Hereford and Huntingdon,” by Harriet Latham, is and instructive sketch of noted English shires, and is well illustrated. “A Complete Cure,” by E. C. Creighton, is a first class story. The history of the tulip and the craze of tulips which once nearly ruined Holland, is delight fully told, and the long scries of il lustrations renders it still more inter esting. There are two novelties and and numerous good short stories and poems. Aunt Hannah’s Receipt liook,” is a record of quaint old re cipes and prescriptions, some of which date back to the days of the Tudors. The number contains matter to ap- jieal to the most varied tastes, and as it closes the volume, ought to be ex amined by all jiersonson the lookout for a thoroughly reliable and superi or family magazine.

A lady reader, with a turn for figures, calculates that it costs at least one hundred dollars extra, per year, for the Factory whistle to blow so long and loud; early in the morn ing. Of course the calculation is based on the useless expenditure of steam. The only relief for our sub scriber that we can suggest is to go to bed earlier, and get in a good nights sleep before the whistle starts to blow. We hope to have in a few years, more of them, and will have to make some provision for nervous folks.
