The Orangeburg News says
The sheriff sold 1882 acres of land for
sl3, 1886, and personal property to the amount
of $1,000 on Monday,
The merry Spirit of meeting, and the cold,
raw day, prompted convivaty. Alas! that
conviyiaity should find expression these days
in such deep and frequent draughts The fes-
tive genius of happy reunion, with Its genial
ioviaIity, gives place 10 the revel and riot OF
Bacchus. Drunkenness mars and deSrades
these occasions. We are no preachers or
temperance-lecturers,n but none could witness
tho drunkenness that stalked and ran riot on
our streets on Monday last, nor see and hear
of its dread and bloody sequels, without
shudder. It was frighful Some amendment,
some remedy To this increasing demorallza-
tIon must come, or this vice will be our curse
and ruin. The snow in the evening fell like
natures winding-sheet upon our village:
Would that 1t may be the Shroad and the burial
OF such scenes
The Southerner says:
A very large number OF persons both
white and colored- assembled at the village on
Monday last in accordance to old custom, and
it would seem by the number who were drunk
that they would have saved money and time If
they had remained at home.
Real estate did not sell as well on Monday as
W
the fact that money was getting scarce with
some who wanted land, while those who were
able to purchase were shy. Barring the noise
occasloncd by few drunken people, the day
which was very cold-passcd off quietly.

AS the day waned, "noise and confusion
