Bead This. We have endeavored through the past year to fill our columns with pleasant reading and for that reason have lei; out all duns. But now that money is beginning to circulate will not our friends caU oo us and settle the small amounts they owe. We think we have earned it, we know we need it, and we believe that nothing is needed but this gentle hint to bring a favorable response from our subscribers. Shot. A. G. FrierSon, a colored man living in Concord, was walking along the W. C. ? A. Railroad, near Mallett^ Turnout, when he was well peppered by part of a load of shot which was fired at a partridge by a sports? man. Of course the bunter did not see Frier sou at the time he fired, and bad no intention of hurting him, but sportsmen should not let their eofbusiasm run away with their pru? dence at such times, as it may get them ia trouble. A Kind Word for our County Com? missioners. We took a trip into Sumter County last week and was pleased to see that her citizens do not intend that strangers should go astray through a lack of 3ign-boards. They have erected them at all cross roads", and they are ornamental as well as useful. If there is any one thing more than another that Darlington County requires at present, it is some good substantial sign-boards. A stranger riding through our County is almost lost from the time he enters until he leaves it. Now if oar County Commissioners would only- Well, "a word to the wise is sufficient."-Darling? ton News. Ex-Marshal T?oniey's Accounts Correct. The Washington correspondent of the News and Courier makes the following statement : "During the past three weeks the first au? ditor of the treasury has been investigating the accounts of the former marshal of South Carolina, Mr. Toomey. This step was taken, so Judge Chenowitb informed me, in the in? terest of the bondsmen and in fact the sugges? tion for the examination came from the ex marshal. As far as the accounting officers have gone everything is correct, and there is no likelihood ol any discrepancies, as the pa? pers have been thoroughly overhauled." Tbose who know Mr. Tuomey's business methods were sure that the examination of his books woold result in no other way. Some Timid Suggestions. Now that we are having such convenient mail arrangements, would it not be a good idea to have a lantern placed in the piazza of the Post Office with a good reflector, for the convenience of our people wben thev get their Columbia evening mail. The lantern now in front of the office gives just light enough to make the darkness visible, and we want more light if our "Fathers" do not think it would be too costly. While making suggestions we would ask, if the sidewalk where it is crossed by the alley-way running North of the Music Hall could not be built up without much expense. In wet weather it is very sloppy, and many ped? estrians are inconvenienced thereby. That water-spout which flowed so persistently from the top of the Music Hall last Spring inrespon? sible for its present dilapidated condition.. We suppose the cotton season will not last much longer, judging from the reports of short crops, but if it does we will make one more suggestion, and that is, the sidewalks are too myca blockaded -ia place? by cotton j Magnolia Items. MAGNOLIA, October 1, 1885. Mr. Editor: October enters with gloomy weather, and confines our ?abor, this A. M., to in-doors. Mr. A. F. Byrd of Wells' X Roads, (I am told,) will renew bis ginning operation this A. M., after several days detention. Messrs. Barber * Atkins have completed their saw mill and it seems to be doing finely, they are now cutting out their railroad, which they intend carrying to Bishopville or above; they have also commenced to ditch this road which will greatly benefit this low country, while we trust the R. R.} will prove a success and benefit to our enterprisiag friends here and at Bishopville ; as no taxation is neces? sary, and Capt. Atkins says they will carry freight as cheap as any other road will, the same distance. I had the pleasure of witnessing a beautiful nuptial occasion last evening, at 8 o'clock, in the M. E. Church of Lynchburg.. A large crowd had gathered lo witness the coming before the Hymefieal altar, Dr. E. F. Darby and Miss. Johnnie P. Perkins, accompanied by eight couples of waiters, the Rev. C. B. Smith officiating. The church was beautifully and appropri? ately decorated, and Mrs. Walter Rowland charmed ail with sweet music. The occasion was enjoyable, and I venture to say those who accompanied the lovely couple to Mr. Griffin's and partook of the good things in wait will so testify. They have my best wishes for their future welfare. SUB. Transfers of Beal Estate The following were recorded during the month of September, with the names of Town? ships given : Bishopville.

Smith as trus? tee, in Spring Hill, because of his being a res? ident of Kershaw County. Tbe School Commissioner should not re? ceive credit for that appointment, for whether good or bad it came from the Board of Ex? aminers, and we have authority for saying that the matter was discussed at the meeting held for the purpose of making those ap? pointments. Mr. Smith was reappointed be? cause he had been a good trustee in the past, and while nominally a resident of Camden his business interests called him sufficiently often to Smithville to atteud to the duties of j the office. If the school patrons of Spring Hill District had objected to' Mr. Smith, or asked for the appointment of any oue else, the Board of Examiners would, had it known of such de? sire, most certainly have consulted thur wishes.

"Be good sweet maid, and let who will be clever, Do noble things, not dream them all day long, And so make life, death, and that vast for? ever One grand, sweet song." Charles Kingsley certainly realized the pos? sible nobleness and intrinsic importance of woman's work. Be would not recommend the girl who, on returning home from her "Alma Mater" an Alumna, chooses for her? self only a butter-fly life of content and frivo? lous pleasures, and whose will and energy which might accomplish greater things, are spent in making beautiful embroideries and endless fancy work. I do not condemn such employment if she also makes benevolent kindness a labor of love. "Do noble things." She who practically responds to these words, will not regret a lost life and sadly utter, "It might have been." She does not ignore op? portunities bot grasps them for good results. Her sweet influence is appreciated when she visits and cheers a poor mother, weary in watching for long,- long weeks by the bedside of a sick ebild. Her kindness is shown in a hundred little ways at home She can re? lieve mother who sometimes tires of her nu? mer?os household duties. Alas ! that so few girls should offer mother the assistance she so much needs in her monotonous round of home work which a daughter can so greatly lighten if she will. >? Many women are teachers. To them I would say, their responsibilities are very H??f>. and their realization should be. perfect *V^^?y expect success in training the young mind. They should remember that they are implan ting^principles that may last forever, and are engining on the tablets of the mind that which will brighten to airetefj?.?yiftbeir duties are well performed. Yet it is a sad fact that many are so careless in the school? room. Bonar says : "The life above when this is past Ti the ripe fruit of life below." Teachers, will negligence give you a rich reward? Resolve that each day of the pres? ent scholastic terra you will strive to do some good ; and not idly fold your hands and dream of great things to do by any by.

There is perhaps no disease so prevalent as dyspepsia or indigestion, and one too, that up to the present time, has baffled the skill ol the most eminent Physicians. Two-thirds ol the chronic diseases have their origin in dys? pepsia. The symptons are loss of appetite, loss of flesh, a feeling of fullness or weight in the stomach, occasionaly nausea and vomit? ing, acidity, flatulence, dull pain in the head, with a sensation' of heaviness or giddiness, irregularity of bowels, low spirits, sleepless? ness, sallow skin, derangement of kidneys, and not unfrequently palpitation cf the heart.
