Bost was arrested on factory hill this w.ck and put in jail for carrying concealed weapons and being intoxicated.

Cotton aoo A Pound. The old price of cotton 10 to 20 cents per pound seems like a dream to the people of this day. An old bill of 1870 has been banded in to ua 'which we believe will to interesting to our readers and we reproduce it: Union, C. II., Jan. 21, 1870. A. G. Wood sold W. C.

Hurrah says he lias a remedy for ridding his premisesof rats which he thinks beats friend Vice's method. We give it for the benefit of our readers who are troubled with rats: Take a teasjHxmful of plaster of jiaris and mix it with half pint of meal and put in a convenient place. The rats will eat the preparation, the plaster of paris will become moist and set the rnoal into r. hall in their stomach and it never fails to kill them and they never know "who hit ihlly Patterson." ?

Baldwin, of Union county. If living be is 78 years old. Mr. Baldwin would like to learn something of his brother, his address is Sallillo, Ix?e county, I Ml*. 0 A treated on Suspicion. K. O. Mercier, of Ila, G.*., was arrested in Union Sunday afternoon, upon > suspicion of being concerned in the . Jonesvillo safe blowing which occurred last week. Parties came from Jonesville, Mr. Watt Scott and Mr. Sam Lit' tlejohn, who identified him its being the hipootist who left Jonesville the day before the robbery w;is committed that uight. His trunk was searched, but uothing was found to convict him with the Jonesville affair, but it is said that letters of a suspicious nature were found, that led the searchers to believe that he was wanted elsewhere. He had some fifty odd dollars on his person which he turned over to the Sheriff for safe keeping. As bank robberies and safe blowings have recently occurred at Switzjr, S. Cn and at Perin, Ga., quite recently, the authorities were notified of this arrest *nd parties came from Switzer to identify him Monday, but they failed to do so, as the party they aro after has light sandy moustache while this man has black hair and moustache. It is said that the bank at Perrin, Ga., was rebbed of $1,000. Mr. Mercier refused to be interviewed or make any statement to the repotter, other '.ban that he was from Georgia and his name was Mercier (with the French pronunciation.) I One of tt\o policemen says mat t>?w | a man answering the description of the man wanted at Switzer in Union the same day Mefcier was arrested. The other strangers who were seen in Jonesville the evening of the robbery have not yet been located. As regards Mercier's connection with the Jonesville affair onb of two tilings must be true, he is either innocent of the charge or is foolshly reckless in stopping in Union, so neai Jonesville, the scene of the robbery. Worked Another Way. Essie Carter, of the Union Graded School, hands us the following answer of the 1 to 23 square puzzle he has got the answer correct, and as he did not work it ?ut by the rule he deserves credit for his paMcnee and for his perseverance, and if he tontinues to let this principle, of never (jiving up until success is attained, govern his life, lie will reap rich rewards in his future business life.

' Gross Carelessness, Mr. Editor:?Pleaso allow mc apace to call attention to the proper authorities of what came near being a destructive fire within the city on Tuesday caused by carelessness. Parties were washing while the wind was blowing fiercely. The boiler being only a few feet from the house, the wind blew fire under the house, which was fortunately discovered bofore any damage was done. Other. YV1.QA cnvAral Kaiioaq nrAkoKl * tvah1<1 I .. ?- Wf v?w? uvviowj piuwov/ljr J nuuiu have been destroyed. It may be beyond control, but an amendment., to prevent thoughtless persons from placing a boiler near a house, fence, eto , would render property more secure from flames. Ye scribe have spoken of the matter to thoughtless people who, on windy days, would place a boiler within three feet of a house. Should there be no remedy for such carelessness, then property owners must ever suffer time to time for the lack of unwritten laws? Numerous destructive fires may be often traced only to be found to have originated from carelessness. Can this in a measure, be limited? Respectfully, Citizkx. ? ? Smashed the Piano. Some days ago Dr. I. M. Ilair was speaking of gettiug someone to haul the piano, belonging to Mrs. Meador, from t lio opera house to her homo.
