* Look on the bright side. It is
the right side. The times may be hard,
but it will make them no easier to wear
Il gloomy and sad countenance. 1t is
the sunshine. not the cloud that makes
the flower. The sky is blue ten times
where it is black once. You have
troubles; so have others. None are
free from them. Trouble gives sinew

to man. That would be dull sea, and
the sailor would never get skill, where
there was nothing to disturbed surface

look Il Ii tie dark, the lane will turn.
the night will open into broad day
There is more virtue in one sunbeam
than in whole hemisphere Of clouds

The climate is not cold, the lines of

There is alsosan excellent cod-fishery off

all in all, the acquisition of this little

pecially since no bill of expense fol-

edge OF his bald head stood straight out,
until he seemed to resemble u gigantic
gun-swab. Two or three persons stood
in front of him iii threatening attitudes.

No doubt he is happier dwelling in space
over there on til" evergreen shore.

"This is simply diabolicll! My late
brother had no wart on his nose, sir.
He had upon his nose neither pink

coiored wart, nor wart Of any other
color. 1t is a SANDER! 1t is Gratuit-

it was not with your authority that your

"The utterly attrocious character of

that he never fooled with cats, and that

For the Advertiser.

Mr.. EDITOR: On recent visitto Gran
iteville, was surprised to learn that the
population is now three thousand souls.
I had supposed only about fifteen hun
dred. I also learned that it is contem-
plated to increase the business capacity
of the Mills to about double the present.
In looking around at the several splen-
did establishments of merchandise, I
chanced to fall in to the House of our
good old friend and fellow-citizen, Mr..
L. G. Swearengin, who has recently es-
tablished himself as a merchant in that
town. Mr.. S. was marking and shelving
a very large addition to his already fine
stock, and when the work was finished,
1 must say that my eyes have seldom
looked upon better or more tasteful
stock of goods. Call upon Mr.. Swearen-
gin, and he will take pleasure in show
ing you his beautiful goods, and when
you make your purchases las you GER
tainly will,) you will find your bill .as
low as the lowest. A.

Political.

PHILADELPHIA, April pa meeting
of Liberal Republicans appointed a COM
mittee of thirteen to arrange for the Gin
'cinnati trip. Gen. Thomas said that he
labored to build up the Republican party,
but now he was free to say that it was the
most cerrnpt party on the face of the
earth. Col. Mcclure said the English of
the whole thing was rebellion and the
bringing of it to the dignity of revolu-
ton. FIVE years ago there might have
been necessity for the exercise of militia
ry power in the South, but not now. The
speaker differed with Grant upon princi-
pie. The dangerous thing the free in
stitutions of the country had to meet,
was the policy of Gen. Grant to carry
elections by force of the bayonet. To
his mind the South has been more DESC
lated since than during the war.

Fatal Accident.

Mr.. John Red, a young man from
Barnwell County, who has been residing
in our town for several months,-an in
dustrious, sober and clever young man
was killed by the cars of the G. c. q A.
Railroad on Friday. night, the 18th inst,
near the junction of the two Railroads
at Graniteville.
No one having seen Mr.. Red at the
time the accident occurred, the circum-
stances attending the killing are not
known. A jury Of inquest was empan-
nelled on Saturday last, but on account
of the absence of material witnesses, it
adjourned its session to meet again on
to-day, Thursday.
The Columbia Union, of the 21st inst,
contains the following:
GsAN1TEvILLE, S. c., April 81, ~.
To the Editor Daily Union:
A heart-rending accident occurred at
this place last night caused by the neglect
of the G. C. & A. train to sound their
whistle at the usual place. The name of
the victim was Red who, am informed
by the Hon. John Woolley, was man of
eStlmaDle character. he leaves d Wlle W
mourn his loss.
It is said that at the time of the occur
renee the two trains from Augusta, due
here at the same time, were running
race. Evidently Mr.. Red attempted to
Jump upon the train, which he would not
have done had the whistle sounded the
usual "stop." The community is justly
incensed at this manifestation of indiffer-
ence on the part of the derelict engineer.
RUPERT.
We have heard of late Of the frequent
occurrence of Railroad accidents in the
South. And when it is established that
an accident occurs through negligence of
the officers of the Road, not only should.
the public manifest its Indignation, but
the parties who hereby are deprived of
the stay and support of the family, should
resort to the law, and require these cor
porations to answer in heavy pecuniary
damages for their acts Of carelessness.
Mr.. Red leaves family who were de-
pendent on his labors for support.

Thousands of men and women in civil
izcd society, much younger than the old
Sycamore, are like him, "withered at

and beautifying the hair which science
had placed at their disposal. Ii LYONS
KATHAIRoN be faithfully applied once
or twice day, to the tibres and the scalp,
it is lust as impossible that the hair
should decay, wither, fall out or become
harsh and fuzzy, as that meadow, duly
refreshed with nightly dews and sunht
rains, should become arid and barren OF
green blades. This matchless prepara-
ton not only keeps the hair alive and
the skin of the head in a healthy and
clean condition, but actually multiplies
the filaments and imparts to them lus-
tire, hexibility and wavy beauty unat-
tainable by any other mode of treatment.
1t does not, like the metallic and sulphu-
rous hair dyes, dry up the natural mois-
ture OF the scalp, but supplies nutriment
to the roots of the hair and vigor to the
fbers.
