For one or two days last week, the streets were almost block aded by the wagoos. .vTbe brightsunshine was. very acceptable to all yesterdiijjaorningj and. made a rapid im provement in tie appearance of the streets. The Church congregations Sunday night were conspicuously slim. The weather look ed too ugly for our timid people. Christmas is coming, and there is no doubt o?Jt. We never saw so fall an assortment of Christmas goods. What will the mer chants do with such tremendous stocks. We ?a?l-.attention to the advertisement of Mr. J. B. Carr. He has marked his goods down to' the lowest point for (he purpose, of dosing'out his stock." At an auction ?x\e in front of the Court House this morning, we saw two sewing, machines sold, one far $2.85 and the other for $2, both in good order. Messrs.' Ducker ?

They will need patching quite 'frequently, bnt when in good con dition, are far superior to the sand beds we bave. We saw a dilapidated looking customer? Green Williams is his name?under the charge of the police this morning, for stealing meat ont of ine Market. He looked like he needed meat or some other substantial.

This firm will make liberal advances to their patrons. Mr. J. J. Muldrow of Mt Clio, lost his bamand-stables "by fire, a few nights ago.

It is a pleasure to meet with farmers who not only believe in, bnt practice the doctrine that farmers should live within themselves, at home. Such an one is Mr. R. M. Jenkins, at whose hospitable home we recently spent a night. He does not buy torn ; nor would he buy bacon if the cholera would let his hogs alone. He makes an abundance of syrup. He planted an acre of amber-cane last year, and made 45 gallons on half of it ; and says tbat the seed has paid the entire expense of cultivation, for all his stock eat it greedily. His potato crop is fine ; and be made an abundance of rice. Of course on such a farm poultry is plentiful and milk and bulter as common as fried bacon on an ordinary fann er's table* A bee shed iu the yard is filled with hives and the very air sniffs of plenty and peace. Our friend will excuse- us for using his name in so public a vraj, butit was just tbe text we wanted, and we are content to stop with tbe text. Dont buy anything that you need until you have been to Carr's. He is selling out at and below cost to change business. -' ? - ! - Privateer Items. Privateer, S. C, Dec. 13, 1886. Hon. W. 0. Cain, spends Sundays at home. He is looking well, and seems to enjoy Legis lative life at the Capitol. There are still a few bales of cotton on the farms. Mr. J. B. Osteen moves this week to the Mellett place on the Clarendon line. In spite of the large heavy rainfall recently, wells continue very low. On account of the bad weather, Rev. B. C. Lampley preached to a small congregation on Sunday. Miss Alma Breeden returned to ber home in Bennettsville last Friday. Miss Sudie Fur man accompanied Miss Breeden for a visit of several weeks. L>EW. Better Prom Guv. . Clio, Dec. 11, 18SG. Mr. Editor: Now comes the "sere and yel low leaf." This leaf ia much used as material for poetry. It is also good material for the compost heap, in fact it is often better fitted for the compost heap after having been work ed up into poetry, doesn't benefit the heap much, but does tbe reading public We have had also tbe ' 'beautiful snow" often used and abused as material for the above mentioned purpose, and said possess some fertilizing properties. ? We have never been able some how to appreciate the beauties of soow since the war, (we were a non-commissioned pri vate, light artillery, A. W. V. and rose.from the ranks, to the chief command of the for? forge, but were superseded, like our illustri ous contemporary, Gen. j03. E. Johnston, for having conducted a masterly retreat,) but should we be able to realize anything from it's fertilizing properties, some degree of beauty will be restored to it. "Our land sad ly needs a low priced fertilizer and this is about as cheap as we could well expect. Now, if another eeason would open at once, and a good stand of crops could snow gently down and grow off at the rate of a bale or two to tbe acre, and it could be gathered about March, in time for tbe usual crop to be put in, and cotton would bring 12 or 15 cents, we tbink in the course of 10 years some of us might be able to pay up some of that back in debtedness that puts on such a beau tiful growth every year, and yei won't grow out of date worth a cent. The weather seemed so mild and favorable a while back that we had a "great mind" to try another crop any way ; but having a "great mind" it was slow to make up, and that saved us, otherwise our crop might have been badly damaged by the late snap. We sometimes think we must have a prodigious mind, it is so bard to make up to do anything. And this is doubtless the reason for the oft used expression, "greatmind." \Vehopethe different "Moseses" will keep tinkering at this agricltural problem until they get it patched and straightened, but it's an intricate problem. The slacker we are in the Summer the tight er it is now. Tbe looser we are, the more -knotty we get, until we don't know whether we are wound up or ruo down. This is Strange. We are not afraid of work over our way. We live close by it all the time, and never heard any one say tbey were scared of it yeti It don't hurt us and if we think it's going to, We just walk away from it just as easy. Yes, we think "the eye of the Master will do more work than both bis hands." So we eye our work with great energy. Gcv. Wedding Bells. Atkins, S. C, Dec. 9, ?8S6. On yesterday evening at half past six o'clock, at the Methodist Church at Lynch burg, Mr. James A. Atkins, of Atkins, and Miss Janie C. Smith, of Lynchburg, were united in holy wedlock, Rev. . B.
