The weather for the last day or so has been quite cold, and people can do little but make fires and sit by them. The Christmas holidays are about at end with most people, and they are beginning to look around to find some work needing to be done. Others, of course, never get done f r olicking. They are not in the oauuty with the other class. We haven't seen Mr. T Jeff Hughes since the holidays set in. Don't know where he has been keeping himself. But suppose he is still in the ring, and has enjoyed himself, and made others do so too. If they didn't its their own fault. Uncle Jeff will cure the blues every time he gets a chance at them.

Its well worth reproduction in any of our secular papers. Many of our farmers will run wild on the cotton planting subject next spring. 18 cts. cotton is a new departure. We heard a middle aged man who has farmed all his life say not long ago that he never in life sold a bale of ootton for 10 cts. a pound until last year. A good deal of moving about is going on in this community. Last week the colored people had an up-to-date wedding on Fowler Bros place. It was ahead of anything of the kind yet not <1 by jour correspondent. We are told that not le3S than 250 colored people were present. There were 10 tables averaging from 10 to 20 persons each. The friends of the contracting parties mostly brought their baskets and helped to furnish the table with eliblai Those who saw it tell us it was simply grand, Itev. Wilkes pronounced the ceremony. The contracting parties were James Smith and Leviscie Ed wardshot h members of our most respectable and well-to-do colored people. Quite a number of white people went to see the marriage and one lady of experience said it was the second time In her life she had ever seen a marriage with a bridal veil. The other was Miss Emma Mc1 Jill, white, of Iliokory Grove. If this statement doeatn't strike our readers merely as an ostenatious affair, it will couvince them that the -colored people are trying to make something of themselves, Its a fact worth notice that when colored people make any claim to decency and respectability they procure the conQdenoe and esteem of the better class of white people, much more than the low down riff raff among the whites.

He was at one Time a Leading Radical?Rose From Slave to Legislator. June 8. Mobley, the gray-haired colored pastor of Revelation chapel, corner of Plain and Gadsden streets, who for 12 years has unostentatiouslived in Columbia, walking the streets as other colored peoplo of his class, unknown to many and forgotten by all but a few who intimately knew him in his day of greatness, wus laid away on the hillside yesterday to sleep with the slaves of ante-bellum days. Before the Reconstruction in 1S70, June Mobley was a power in South Carolina politics, and had absolute control of the Republican party of Union county, from which ho was elected to the house of representatives continuously from 1808 until 1872, when ho was beaten for the senate by Thomas B. Jeter, who afterwards became governor. Mobley was aubsobuently olected to the . houso and was in every race for the ill tOTO * * - pmcc uuuu io(o wnen ne gave up and retired to private lifo. A gentleman in the city yesterday stated that he remembered a dramatic ino'dent of the '78 election. "I was a member of the Democratic executive committee ot Union county and Mobley was chairman of the Republican executive committee and had been for a number of years. Mobley had lost three races for the house and his hopes were high for success, but as tho returns came in Mobley lost heart and exhibited signs of weakness for the first time revealed to the Democrats. Finally the crucial moment arrived, the returns from the precincts were being counted upon which decided his fate. When the count was made known Mobley threw up his hands and exclaimed, 'Gentlemen, I will be damned if there is anything left for me to do but go to preaching.' " * * * Mobley went through the war as a body servant, and afterwards defeated for the legislature his former master, for whom, however, he always professed regard. June someUmwu attended Kopublican pow-wows at the State capitol in recent years, but his speeches fell on unlistening ears, Ho was a back number. His last stand for a political or semi-political job was when he endeavored to be uppointed chaplain for a regiment of negro troops in the Spanish-American war.?Tho State, 4th. News From Jjasf Union. I notice in "Progress" of Deccmletter the writer mentions the Christ- " mas tree which we had here at Monarch for the benefit of the Monaroh ; and Aetna children. The writer of ' "Notes from Monarch" arid that "The Monarch Mill Co. <jave each little child under nine (9) years of age, who was not a member of the O J Ci 1 . 1 * ounuay ocnooi, a sack containing candy, orunges and raisins." Anyone reading this letter would think that the Monarch children were the only ones allowed to participate. As I was one of the committee I know how much money was raised with which to buy presents for the children at both mills, between the ages of 3 and 1.5, whether a member of the Sunday School or not, got a present. The following arc the names of the gentlemen who so nobly gave the money so that the children at these two mills might spend a happy evening: Pres. J. A. Fant, Monarch Mill, $20 Monarch Mill 20 Supt. Summey, Monarch Mill, 5 Pres. W. II. Sartor, Aetna Mill, 10 ltev. Poston, Pastor Vlon-Aetna, 5 This gave us $00, and as there were 350 children between 3 and 15 years of age, the reader can easily ^ .-ii i ?- - ion uun iuuuu money we nad to / expend on each child. In addition to,the sack containing c indy, oranges 1 and raisins, wo gave each child a suitable as well as useful present Some got dolls, some vases and others chinaware. No one complained, all were happy. Of course we older ones were happy in seeing the younger ones so delighted. It would have done anyone good to h/vo looked in and seen the happy, expectant faces of the children as they received their sacks containing "candy, oranges and raisins"?-and this other present. I have never seen a prettier Christmas tree nor a more orderly crowd than we had. We spent a joyous evening never to be forgotten by all the participants and we feel deenlv ffrmpfnl tr* - - TV v.?v?wi w vuvoc men who gavo their money so that our children might spend a pleasant evening. When the whistles blew the following Monday morning every one was at their place ready for another year's work. Now children, let's see if we cannat do better work, each one serving his employer and bis Master better than in the year past.
