We are sorry to hear of the very
Bcrdous illness of the little child of
Mr. Jacob S. Punches and hope the
alarm of the parents may soon be dis
pelled by the recover)' of their little
one.
We are glad to meet Mr. W. W.
Culler again on the streets, lie is
not yet quite recovered from the ef
fects of the painful accident of last
summer but looks remarkably well
considering his long confinement.
A gentleman came up and paid us
three dollats for two years subscrip
tion. This evidence of confidence in
us in the face of the terrible attack
made upon this paper by the other
"vent" was certainly unexpected, and
is appreciated by us.
We learn that several persons lost
premiums on the day they were
awarded at the Fair, by being hand
ed to others than the owners through
mistake. Such errors may be easily
corrected if the receivers would leave
the premiums at the store of Mr. J.
C. Pike.
The members of Zion Democratic

The colored people of North Caro
lina opened on Monday last an indus
trial exposition or jfair at Raleigh
which promises to be quite a success.
"Why may not a similar fair be held
in every couuty of our state and thus
stimulate the colored people to excel
lence in their industrial pursuits.
The arm of the little child of Mr.
Cephas McMichacl, of the Fork, frac
tured some ten days ago, was re-ad
justed by Dr. M. G. Sallcy on Satur.
day last. We hope the little one
will soon recover from the shock of
Ibis very painful operation and will
soon be on its feet again.
Ot'K thanks are due Mr. Ilarpin
Riggs for a sample of his excellent
apple cider vinegar. Our farmers
who have apples should certainly
learn to make their own vinegar. A
portion of that crop could not be bet
ter disposed of than to be converted
into this important article of house
hold economy.
Tue young men of St. Matthews
organized a Social Club on last Mon
day night. The following officers
were elected to serve for the ensuing
year : H. Witcover, President; Geo.
Clark," Vicc-President; G. F. Parker,
Secretary; J. Jacobson, Treasurer.
The Club propose giving a ball at an
early date.
An engine attached to a material
train on the Greenville and Columbia
Railroad exploded on Monday last
near Donalds' Station, killing three
persons. Persons managing engines
on the South Carolina Railroad de
serve credit for observing a careful-'
iiess which has so long saved the
road from such a, misfortune.
Our genial and accomplished
friend, Dr. B, F. Muckcn.fu.88, still has
his office over Mr. Wm. Wilcock's,
whero he is prepared to execute all
work in his line on the most improv
ed style. Tho Doctor's ability and
long experience in dentistry specially
commends his services to our people.
The patronage which he has so gener
ously received in the past will always
be eminently merited in the future.

The County Commissioners of Ai
ken have paid all debts contracted
during the year, the debts contracted
by the first set of Democratic Com
missioners, tho interest on the debt
contracted by the former Republican
Commissioneis, and have money left
to pa)' off the jury when Court meets.
We wish we could say the same for
our county. The appropriation al
lowed our County Commissioners
will fail to meet the current expenses
of our county by seven and eight hun
dred dollars. This ought not to be.
A special from Sherman, Texas,
says:*'W. P. Grccnlow, one of the
wealthies and most prominent citi
zens of that place committed suicide
last night by taking morphine. The
cause is said to be criminal intimacy
between his wifo and Rev. Conrad
llaney, a noted and eloquent minis
ter." This is only one of the many
sad occurcnces of that nature which
arc daily happening. It shows the
utter and shameful depravity of those
from whom we should only expect to
see virtue in the highest and holiest
forms. Who can be trusted.
If any persons in this community
think that they can muzzle the Dem
ocrat by abusing us they arc mista
ken. We came here to publish an
outspoken Democratic paper, and
that we intend to do, no matter who
it pleases or displeases. From the
support wn have received we feel as
sured that the people are with us in
our clforl to give them a paper worthy
of their confidence and patronage.
We care nothing about the opposition
of a few sore-head, ofllee-seeking
Democrats and their Radical allies.
We hew straight to the line let the
chips fall where they may.
Ax "eminent physician" gives it
as a professional opinion that swear
ing never was good for a sore finger.
It never cured the rheumatism nor
helped draw a prize in a lottery. It
is not recommended for liver com
plaint. It is not sure against light
ning, sewing machine agent, nor any
of the ills which beset people through
life. Almost any experienced jour
nalist will tell you that there is no oc
casion for swearing outside of a news
paper oilier, where it is useful in
proof reading and indispensably ne
cessary in getting forms to press.
It has been known, also, to material
ly the editor in looking over the
paper after it is printed. But oth
erwise it is a very foolish and wick
ed habit.
Snow! snow! oh, the beautiful
snow! The largest fall of snow
known in this county for twenty years
fell on Wednesday last. Beginning
about ten o'clock in the morning ii
continued with more or less severity
throughnut the day. Scow flakes ns
lorgc as a fifty cent piece were com
mon during the storm, and every
thing was covered with a sheet of
snow two or three inches deep. It
was a beautiful sight. The young
men and juveniles indulged in an old
fashioned snow balling to their heart's
content. Every unfortunate individ
ual who came in range was treated
to a shower of snow balls. Some got
mad and others took it good natured
ly. It made no difference to the
snow baliers, howevor, as they were
bent on fun, and that they had.
It is not often that we venture to
lecture a fellow pilgrim on life's high
way on his shortcomings, but really
when we see a brother going so far
astray as the editor of the Times
went last week, wc must be pardoned
for warning him of the error of his
course, and giving him a little broth
erly advice. Now, brother, in the
first place, never attempt to take a
thorn out of your neighbor's toe while
there is a mote in your eye, because
it makes you cut a very ridiculous
figure in the eyes of the community,
and, sc2ond, never do you say any
thing about mortgages again, because
the chances are that if it were not for
that little instrument Bolivcr holds
you would not be enjoying the luxury
of a country editor's life, but would
be nothing more than a plain village
schoolmaster.
It is estimated that tho amount ofA
cotton sold in October, this year, in
tho Southern Slate, will net producers
from eight toten million dollars more
than the sales for October last year.
This is not from the larger sales, bu
from the increased price lor cotton.

Arithmetical Toast:?uThc fair
daughters of this land : May they
add virtue to beaut) , substract envy
from friendship, multiply amiable
complishtncnts by sweetness of tem
per, divide time by sociability and]
economy, and reduce scandal to its|
lowest denomination."
Some months ago a number of per
sons who call themselves Second
Adventists predicted that the world
would come to an end on the 13th
of November. 1879, but it appears
that doomsday did not arrive accord
ing to promise. It's a great pity
that so many people should be eo|
often disappointed.
An exchange gets oir the following)
unkind cut on fashionable young men.
"If there is one thing more than
another that will make a young man
in a big buttonhole bouquet, light
gloves, dainty clothes and hair parted
in the middle come down to hard pan
as near common j sense as he can |
get without picv.ous preparation or
adaptability, it to have a young lady
tell him he ought to have been born|
a girl."
The meteoric display promised for
Thursday night did not come to pass,
and those of our citizens who sat up to
p atch for it were doomed to disap
pointment. However, it has been re
marked by persons whose gaze had
been directed heavenward by this oc
casion, that the sky has not for a long
time looked so beautiful nor the stars
so numerous and bright. We did
not watch ourselves, and consequent
ly were not disappointed.
Fou Tin-: Teeth.?Many of the
powders and pastes now in the mar
ket contain ingredients like pumice
stone, charcoal, &c, which ought
never to be used for the purpose.
The Saponaceons Tooth Powder isl
warranted to contain nothing in the|
least injurious, and has no equal for
its purpose, as its flavor is pleasant,!
is perfectly vsolublc in the mouth, -ind
contains nothing gritty or rough for
the teeth. For sale by Dr. J. G.
Waxnamaker.
Dob Ingersoll says "that to plow
is to pray." This shows how little
Hob knows about farming. When a
man is plowing and lhe implement is
brought to a sudden stand-still by
striking a concealed rock or slump,
and the handles collide violently with
the mau's abdominal regions as he
suddenly lurches foiward, he?well,
he doesn't pray. Some of the words
he makes use of would fit very well in
a prayer, but he doesn't take lime to
arrange them properly.
A postal regulation has been in
force now for two months which is
not well known among business men,
or it would bo more generally used.
We refer to the fact that statements,
bills and etc., can now be mailed in
an unsealed envelope with a cent
stamp. Thus the many monthly
statements which aic made out by
wholesale and retail dealers, each
month can be mailed for one cent but
no writing other than the legitimate
bill can be placed upon the statement.
No such words as "please remit" can
be, neither can a bill receipted be sent.
If it is necessary to hnve the words
"please remit" on the statements or
bills, they can be printed as part o
the heading.
On Tuesday night last a burglai
made a successful entrance into the
dwelling of Mrs. John Glover, cornel
of Coming and St. John streets, and
carried oil' several articles of clothing
and jewelry belonging to Dr. 1$. F
Muckcnfass and Elliott (Jlover. The
entrance was made thiough the par
lor window opening on the piazza
and the inner door being unlocked
admitted the thief to the bed rooms.
The thief was evidently frightened ofi
as he left severnl articles in the par
lor where he hail carried them from
other parts of the house. Tfiis is the
second robbery of the same nature,
and perhaps by the same rogues,
that has occurred in our town during
the last few months, which admon
ishes our citizens to keep nil their
doors and windows securely fastened,
and our police to bo on tho lookout,
not only on Main-street but the back
streets of the town. These burglars
ought to bo caught and punished.
