An Apology.
We owe our readers an apology for
issuing such a small sheet this week,
but hope it will not he necessary to
give them a similar infliction. Most
of the weeklies skip Christmas week,
and issue no paper at all. We sent
out our regular issue, and in conse
quence have been falling behind ever
since. The office was, so far as work
is concerned, closed for four days,
and up to this time we have been una
ble to make up, and in order to put
things in order \flc are compelled to
ask the. indulgence of our readers
for this time. It takes very steady
and persistent work to get out the
paper on time and the lots of a few
days always produces serious de
rangement in the office.

Remember the Poor.
We did not hear of any actual
cases of suffering among the poor
during the recent cold spell, but
there ought to be some kind of an
organization to look after cases of
this kind. It is often the case that
the ones who are the most needy are
the ones who complain the least, as
they are too sensitive to appeal for
charity. The strongest reason for
an organization of this character is
that when the necessity arises, the
A Fine Troupe.
On next Wednesday night Hey-
wood’s Celebrities will give one of
their grand entertainments at the
Opera House, and all lovers of good
music should malte a point of at
tending, os it promises to be one of
the finest performances that we have
ever had. Every member of the
troupe is a first class musician, most
of them with a world-wide reputa
tion, and both in vocal and instru
mental music they will be sure to
give us a rare treat. It is unques
tionably the strongest combination
that has ever made an engagement
in Darlintou. Fine singing has been
very rare in Darlington and this
combination is especially strong in
vocalists.
Most of our people very readily
pay fifty cents to hear a poor thea
trical troupe, and they should not
mind paying one dollar to hear some
thing that is more than worth the
price of admission. There is some
thing rudioall wrong abouty the per
son who is not mads better and who
does not have higher aspirations after
listening to fine music.

his either planting or making too
much cotton. He ought also to have
enough to barter for his sugar uud

may be safely made that the largei
portion of the store accounts are for
things that might be raised at home.
The average farmer buys his axe
