Wednesday, October 19, 1892.
There will be a dance at the Cleve
land House to night.
Mr. C. B. Edward? has bought Dr.
Norment’s land, except the honee
tract and a few reserved lots.
Miss Sue Winston, who spent last
winter in Darlington, has returned
and is staying with her sister Mrs. T.
W. Normeut.
Mn T. J. Drew, late of Thk
Herald, has taken charge of the
Bennettsville Banner. We give him
our best wishes for his success.
On Thursday, of last week, the to
bacco sales were 4554 lbs for 518.48,
an average of 11J cents per pound.
At prices-like this it is a profitable
crop,
Capt. W. C. Coker will soon be a
resident of the town as he intends
building at an early day. He has
purchased a lot on the Norment
property.
There will be a service of song at
Young Men Christian Association
Hall Sunday, afternoon at 5 p. m.,
led by Rev. Mr. Stout, a cordial in
vitation is extended to the ladies.
Mr. L. M. Norment and Mr. Bar
rett, Division Superintendent of the
Exprees Company, made a successful
trip down Black Creek, on Thurs
day and caught a nice string of fish.
They chartered the “Norjim” for
the trip.
The Marion Fair will take place
on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th, of Novem
ber and promises to be a success,
special railroad rates will be given
for those who wish to attend. We
will give rates of fare in our next is
sue. We hope that a good many of
our people will manage to attend.
The Telegraph Company is ren
dering very poor service in regard to
getting me: sages to their destination
and receiving answers. A gentleman,
in town, sent a dispatch to the Bank
of Marion, at half past eleven o’clock
on Monday, and received an answer
at half past five in the afternoon.
This is slow electricity.
There was a very pleasant enter
tainment at Mrs. Rast’s on Friday
night, which was attended by the
following young people.
Miss Laulie Howie, of Florence,
Misses Janie Howie, May McCall,
Alice Parrott, Lilah Kelley, Annie
Hearon, Lilah Du Bose.
Messrs. W. A. Parrott, W. W.
Graham, Lawton, Dargun, C. W.
DuBose, C. E. McLendon, Eugene
Harrell, F. F. Martin, 0. 0. Riddle,
B. F. Smoot.
That accomplished florist and
botanist, Mr. G. 0. Mertz, has apine-
apple that he has cultivated in a pot,
and which will soon be ripe. There
is no end to the wouderfu( things he
can do with fruits and flowers, and
had he lived two hundred years ago,
some of his feats of this character
would have laid him open to the
charge of witchcraft, and as things
went in those days the proof would
have been pretty strong against him.
Mr. Mertz, so far as our knowledge
goes, is the only botanist in this sec
tion of the State.

It is our earnsstdesire to mal e the
Hut^no ^awelcome visitor to every
home, and to make it, when it goes
abroad, a fitting representative of die
intelligence, enterprise and growth
of the town *where it is published.
No amount of energy, industry or
ability on the part of the editor can
accomplish this unless the paper has
the active support and sympathy of
our people. It is possible for a news
paper to surmount many obstacles,
but if it encounters, on the part of
those to whom' it naturally looks for
support, nothing but apathy or in
difference, it is brought face to face
with a condition of affairs against
which it is impossible to contend.
There is scarcely a merchant in
town that would not give twenty-fvve
or fifty dollars, if by this means he
could increase the cotton sales of the
place to the amount of a thousand
bales, because he would know that
he would make it back a good many
times over in the increased volume
of trade, yet when asked to spend
this small amount in advertising
meets you with the reply that he is
looking out for number one, and the
paper must take care of itself. He
is perhaps perfectly willing to admit
that a peper is a good thing and
probably draws some trade to the
town, but then he is not advertising
just now, and deems thathc is'doing
well by the paper if he subscribes.
Some of *hem wont even do that but
depend on borrowing, laying the flat
tering unction to their soul that they
is getting the benefit of other peoples
encouragement of the home papers.
They are of all men the most critical,
and soundly scold the paper if it does
not have all the town and county
news, besides discussing polities and
other matters of interest. Of course
if one of them moves into a new store
or builds a new house he expects it
all to be written up in glowing style,
seeming to imagine that he is en
titled to this much free advertising,
for of course the editor loves to do
this kind of work and it costs a in ye
triffle to run a paper,

“A Mountain Passion-Flower,” by

exceptionally good story, but Indeed

most noticeable feature of the month

record as a fashion periodical, after
having stood at the head of such publi

There is a discussion going on in
the papers as to who fired the first
gun of the War, this distinction be
ing claimed by several men, all of
whom are probably sincere in their
belief. We have never seen any con
troversy as to who fired the last gun
of the War, but one of our fellow
citizens, Mr. Murdoch Outlaw, came
very near being the victim of the last
shot fired at the battle of Bentonville,
which was the last fight of the War.
The ball came fsom the rifle of a
Federal sharpshooter, and nipped a
piece out of Mr. Outlaw’s skull It
was a very narrow escape, and part
of .he ballet, it was an explosive one,
is .rill buried in his sknll. The
piece of bone that was fractured
dropped down on the brain, and was
taken out by Dr. H. J. Lee. For a
long time the brain was exposed to
view, but finally the skin grew over

him much pain, although he was un

old friends who are now living in

Lust night was celebrated, by a
grand “possum hunt.” The party
consisted of twelve girls and boys.
They were successful in treeing,as

was captured by their “best” fellow.
It was not an usual proceeding for
the ladies and they had quite an ex r

laproveMeits at lie Opera Haase.
For some time past Mr. Michie, the
efficient manager of the Opera House,
has been making improvements in
the building, and has succeeded in
making it a very neat and cosy place.
The old scenery has been entirely re
placed with new, and the whole stage
has been enlarged and otherwise im
proved. The scenery is amply suffi
cient for the proper setting of any
play that will ever be performed in
the building, and the arrangements
for shifting it are very complete.
There are three dressing rooms, which
will afford every convenience for the
actors. All the front part of the
building has been famished with nice
opera chairs; which will give two
hundred reserved seats. In an emer-
H between five and six hundred
e can be seated. Mr. Michie
has done about everything that was
possible in the way of arranging the
space to the best advantage, and de
serves credit for his taste and enter
prise. The total cost of the improve
ments will be about eight hundred
dollars, and this will be paid from
the income of the building. There
is no comparison between the old
scenery and the new, the only thing
that detracts from the beauty of the
-hitter is the insertion of business
cards on the border of what would
otherwise be a beautiful drop cur-
tun. The chairs are folding and in
addition to being comfortable have a
place where a hat can be put away.

We published recently under the
head of “A L’retty Surprist” a notice
of a new and very charming edition
of Longfellow’s most celebrated
poem, “Evangeline.” Upon examina
tion, the book proves so delightful in
every way that we believe it will be a
favor to our readers to refer to it
again. It is handsomely illustrated,
mainly by Birket Foster, oue of the
most famous of English artists, and
bound in exquisite taste in a com
bination of white, and blue cloth,
with gilt edges and ornaments, and’is
sold only by the publisher direct
(not by booksellers), at approximate;

his book-makiug in the hands of a
