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

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. Foster has Lored a well for
Dr. Southard, aud kirbed it with Terra
Cotta nnd is now boring another public well
for our town, which lie will also kitb with
Terra C?ttn. This well is being sunk iu

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

member of the Hickory Grove Baptist church
They have about 70 scholar* oil I lie roll and
generally a full attendance. 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.

With this issue we close our work for the
Timki this year. 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.

OBITUARY.
Mis. Mary Lemnster, nrt Lenin-ter, wis
bo?n near Pncolet, S. C., July 15,
18o0, and was married to P. T. l.cmaster ;
October 22, 1871, and afier a loog and pain- j
ful illness fell peacefully asleep on her t
Saviour's breas', ncir llich Hill, December
12, 18'Jl.
She h id been a consistent lumber of the n
Mc'hodist church for 22 years, llcr dis- t
posit on ?ni kind and charitable and the
poor end afflicted always found in her a
willing and sympathetic helper. She spoke I
ill of no cnc, and to know her was to lave
her.
She had been a great suffer and her resignation
to the will if God was both beautiful
and remakable, and her ohriatian influence
will s'ill live.
She leaves a devoted husband and a host "j
of relatives aud friendi to mourn her loss,
but they mourn not as thoso without comfort,
for almost her last words were: I'll
soon be at home," i
Ye who weep come to Jcsu?, f-r He
weeps ; ye who suffer come to Hint, for lie
heals; ye who pa-s away conic to Ilim, for
He abides. A Fkikkh.
