OUR CORRESPONDENTS. Jonesville. 1)kc. 17.?Our people cry hard times, ami yet 1 dyn't remember ever seeing so many floe lugs killed, a> ramy Cbmtuins Tuikeys,to much butter on the market us well a* everything in the way of provisions. The supply of something to eat seems to be abundant. The only things to be complained of is the low price of cotton and the scarcity of money, but this is male up in a great measure, by the abundance of supplies, and the people ought to be more grateful and quit complaining. The dress makers in our town are crowded with work, nnd have been all the fall, and rouie of them are over-worked to fill their orders. The merchauts have very good stocks of goods. Cotton nud cotton seed are rolling in every day, and while the price is low, some money is being pa d out and is circulated in the country. Corn, fodder nnd other country produce is also being exchanged for money. Tin articles of beef milk nnd butter surpass anything I ever saw. llutter goes begging at ten cents a pound. 1 think it's time for our people to stop grumbling nnd everlastingly crying ? .: is rvi* :? ? ouru IllUtS. il BIIUW3 U rtilliv VI IHIUI III (I kin I Heavenly Father. 1 hope the people will turn n new leaf ou New Year's day, und trust in Providence und atop complaining. I otlended the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free Masons in Charleston lust week. That grand bo ly was well attended and transacted its business ns it usually does; iu a very Irirtnouious manner. 1 called at Ik'thcl Parsonage and dined with llev. Jesso A. Clifton. I found him ns usual in n happy mood, and full rfthc holy ghost. Dr. Clifton is rcry acceptable to his people iu Charleston, and is doing much good for the cause he so ably and acceptably represents. A young couple from New York City who catno down by steamer, called nt the Parsonage while 1 was there, nnd were married by Dr. Clifton, and went on their way rejoicing to the land of Howers to spend thoij honey, mooo. The. Dr. has n kind and interesting family uud it is quite n pleasure to spend u while with them in their hospitable hotne. Mr. T. K.

Tki.f.i'iionk. Etta Jaue. Dec. 17,?Yesterday we had the pleasure of attending a meeting of the Broad river Academy 8. S., where we met quite a number of our most earnest and inthusiastic chiistian workers. This is one of the banner schools, of York county. It is a Union School, Mr. J. T. Howe, the Superintendent is an elder in the Presbyterian church. Mr. W. S. Wilkcrson, the piincipal teacher is a Steward in the Mctlrdist church, and Mr. i v c.?n rv.i.v. .i.? _ i i: i %f .

We find parents there with their whole families, something not very customary iu tire average Sabbath i School in the country. One of the most astounding assertions we have heard came from a Bible render the other day, who said: Jacob bought his brother Ksau's birthright with a mess of "partridges" and another cipmlly so, was that Baptism wasn't a Sacrament, exactly. What is it then, bro'hor? "Where igaornnce is bliss. 'Tis folly to he wise." The visiting person is at hand, and almost everybody has a trip laid out to tnke during (he holidays. Most of the cotton isginned and marketed. Tho b >at that is to run from the Darwin place to Lockhart Shoals has been launched! -t has not yet been rigged up for business. The engine a three lror.se power? will be here in a lew days; and I lien look out. Broad river was very high last Wednesday and Thutsday. The flat at Howell's ferry was cnuglit on thy iautl its the river fell, and it took a good many hands to get it back into the water. Dr. W. J. Douglass, of Asbury, paid us a social visit last Friday. He is a great gunner, antl hardly ever fails te get game when he ehoftts. The boys have had a live'y lime rabbit hunting this tall during the high water, Inst week the rabbits were run out to tire hills, and the men, boyn and dogs h td much fun catching them. We notice thai our Auditors Ad say's ho will finish up his work on tiro iJOth of February, 18'Jt>. If llrosc printer boys don't mind how they handle their types, they will get into a scrape. They fre?|ucntly make us misspell words?and we don't like it a b.t. Since the death of Slate constable J. T. Latimer, some people have been having big talk.

And it is right and proper (hat we thank the editor, readers and correspondents end printers for tlieir manifold courtesies shown in during the year. In trying to help the paper, we only ask its friends to tako our intention for our action, flow far we have succeeded or fallen short in the work, wo are willing for a generous intelligent public to decide. For our former Editor, the voi.erable Mr. Stokes, we have the profuuudest respect,*and shall ever remember him for bis generous consideration of our imperfections, as well as his ftrlicr'y advice during the years we hive boon working for the people of Uniou County; and especially North I'aeolet. For the present Editor, Mr. Crudup, we are indebted for msny favors loo, during the lime he lias been presiding ovor the columns of this paper. We c tinmen t him for the strenuous efforts lie has made to give the people of Union caunty a first class piper, and wo rejoice at hie success.
