i ? OUR CORRESPONDENTS. Etta Jane. Nov. 20.?Yesterday and night before last we sneut in <ho town of Hiokory Grove among our York county friend*. That modest lit*le towc is one of lb* quietest we have been in for a long time. I's business men are fully up with the times and everything goes on smoothly. Its most commendable feature is tbo manner in which its people observe ilie Sabbath. Tbey are a church going people and turned out en masse to the A. K. I*. Church to hear Kev. J. 1*. Knox preach a powerful sermon on the observcnce of the law. His text was Rome 7th chapter 9th verse. In these limes of mud slinging and vituperation, not on'^^- political but private circles we think thst one of the Questions asked in (be Westminster Confession of Faith, with i s answer, might be studied with profit to ourselves. It is this: (Jues. " What are the duties required in the ninth commandment? Ans. "The duties required in the ninth commandment nre, the preserving and promoting of truth between man and man, aud iho good of our neighbor, as well as our own; appearing and stauding for the truth ; and f om the hearr, sincerely, freely, clearly, and fully, speaking the truth, and only the truth, in matters of Judgment and Justice, and in all other things whatsoever, a charitable esteem of our neighbors ; living, desiring i nd rejoicing in tlicir good name ; sorrowing for, aud covering of their infirmitics ; freely acknowledging of their gifts and graces, defending their inuocenoy : a ready receiving of a good report, and unwillingness to admit of an evil report concerning them; discouraging tale-bearers, tlatcrers, slanderers, love nod oare of cur own good name, and defending it when need requireth ; keeping of lawful promises; studying and practicing <f whatsoever things are true, honest, lovely, aud of goo 1 report." This doesn't have much standing ground for some of us. Rot. C. E. Robertson will preach at Salem next Sabbath, 'Jud Pcceutber. A great many persons say that yellow corn won't malic good bread?that it always seems to be raw. 'Hint's the fault of the cook. Give it 15 or 'JO minutes loDger to bake, or cook it over a slow tire and it will be all right. This is Mrs. Vox's suggestion. *"?* ? Mrs. 1. J. Horn, of Paoolet has boon vtamnR tmnas ana relatives tn tnfs~?Bei<oii i for a week. Printer's ink (outside of good advice) is worth more and costs less than anything in the land. Advertisements in Tilt: Times, Weekly Ledger, YorkvilL Enquirer and Spartanburg pnpers have drawn hundreds of dollars to their patrous who, without the aid of the press would never have seen a cent. And the pretty part of it is, we have oa yet failed to find a single person discontented who has been drawn to the centres by this means. We suppose that if nobody would advertise all the mercantile a flairs * would be on an equality except when the personal popularny of the merchant drew him a good trade. 13ut personal popularity can't prevail ng?in?t printer's ink that puts goods down cheap. It is price not men the-<e days. Hog killing season has come and we will look for a report of the best hogs from c<ch neighborhood. Let our farmers and their good wives see that this purl of the favin work is properly encouraged. It will stop the cry of bard times sooner tlinn nnythii g else. Vox. We will ask those indebted to us to pay their accounts at once, as we need money. A. II. FOSTER & CO. .*. Jonesville. Nov. 27'h.?The weather is lovely and the health of our people is generally good. Work of every kind is well up except the ??U+ction of debts and that is badly behind. ^Ir. 0. D. Fowler left for Columbia yesterday to tuko his placu on the legislaturo today. Mr. Fowler is in favor of retrenchment an l will work for it. There has boen a great d<ai said during the last four years about reform, but this writer is unable to see any reform as yet. 1 am heartily in favor of retrenchment and it etrikes me that any South Carolinian thut will read State Treasurer Bates report for tlio year ending October 31st 1804 will be in favor of it too. I attended the South Ca?olina Conference at Laurens la?t week and I found out there that the people all over the Slate a9 a rule had practiced retrenchment on the prenchera Salary and Conference collections and yet the p?eachers all lo>ked as though they had been well fed and cared for and tbere was do groal ueai oi complaint. One minister remarked that ho thought they the preacheis ought to share some of the hard times with the people. Laurens was full of guest, hut they were all well cared for by the large-hearted citzecs of the town. A few yeapi ago the plan of catching rabbits in guuis was discovered and since then piany of the mollis eolton tails have been takj'ii in the gum tfUil now a new way of ca'chiug them lias beoa discovered in our community. Mr. H. F. Floyd who lives a few miles from Jonesvillc 1ms sn old dry well near his house about teu feet deep which is partly covered wi'h poles. Not long since he found two or three dead rabbits in this well and since then he has kept a close watch over the well and has liken some twenty five or thirty rabbits out of it. The rabbi's either jump into the well or push one another in for fuu. A good many fine lings have been killed in this community in the last few days and there are many more yet to kill. Mr. J. F. Alnnn killed one tlint weighed over 400 pounds. Most of our people w ill have meat enough of Iheir o?n rui-ing to do tlicm. Mrs. F. T. Fowler who has been visitnig her three daughters in Alabama for the last year has returned homo. Mr. Charles Littlejohn who moved from l'soolet to Atlanta not long since was in our towo on a visit Inst week. Mr. J. R. Littlejohn, of Asbury, was in our town last week. Mrs. J. Id. Free received a check a few days ago for $>2,OO0. for her husbands Dulicy in the Knights of Honor. Mr. Free died the 17th of Oct. and had only paid about .$27.00 in all upon his policy. Tblkimionk. ?. Marvelous Results. From a letter written by llov. J. Gunderuisn, of Dimondnle, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: "1 have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in inc case ot my wile.
