AROUND TOWN.


1t is said by attorneys that our talent
ed young friend, c. 8. Hill, presented
his first case in the Circuit Court 70 his
Honor w. p. Martin, this week, in
which he had made ont such a strong
case that the court did not see fit to hear
all the proof. That kind of business
man can not do otherwise than succeed.
We neglected last week to call atten-
ton to the advertisement of the Nash
vile Life Insurance Company. This
company is home institution-owned
and managed by home men, and has
always been prompt to meet all liabili
ties. Read the certificates from parties
i'm this county, appended to the adyer-
tisement. The company is represented
here by our worthy fellow-citizen, j.
S. Harris, who is always ready to issue
policies.
A difficulty occurred on the Public
Square Saturday last, between Hon. w.
Ii. Wilson and John B. Bond, Esq.
They had a hearing before the Recorder
last Wednesday. Mr.. Bond submitted
his case and Mr.. Wilson was discharged.
From the proceeding of the Quorum
Court, it Will be seen that Mr.. w. +.
Tucker has resigned the Office of Con-
stable for this district. Mr.. T, during
the short time he has held the office,
made an efficient officer, and we regret
the community will be deprived of his
services. An attachment issued by the
clerk, and levied by Rev. ID. ID. will be
next, served on him; in which, though
not non-residents, publication will be
made.
w. l.. Murphy has bought of Digger
Bros, the building between Jas. An
drews and Jas. /. West, and will repair
it for his store-room. .....
Mr.. Ben. L'pscomb has retired from
the livery stable business, Mr.. Choate,
his partner, having bought his interest.
Hugh Il. Cook was fined S25 by the
Recorder, for alleged resistance to
officers in their effort to preserve the
peace, last Monday. He appealed to
The Circuit Court. lI.
A number of the colored .aristocracy
of Nashville came to Columbia last
Sunday, on the special train to June
Meeting. The females were, furbelowed
in ali the eXtravagances of the white
city bellies. They rode in grand style,
and stopped at Caps, the headquarters
of the Columbia colored aristocracy.
During the performances of the Estelle
Troupe, Saturday night, some of our
young men made themselves so disa-
greeably noisy that some ladies were
compelled TO avoid the nuisance by
moving to the other side of the house.
This is shame on the society of Column
bia; and if these young men do not
know how to deport themselves in the
presence of ladies the policemen ought
TO arrest them as nuisances, and carry
them from the theetre. We are sure
these young men did not intend to be
offensive or disagreeable, but did so
through .ere thOughtlessness. "Wad
some ponf r the gift to give us, to see
ourselves as others see us, twad from
many bluuder free us, and from fool
ish notion"
Maj. J. IL. Akin and Mr.. Scott Ste
phens having a misunderstanding, last
Monday went to blows. Maj. Guest
lined Maj. Akin and discharged Mr..
Stephens.
1t will be remembered that not long
since, Clay Gordon, col. was committed
to Jail for stealing meat, in Greenfield's
Bend. Esq. q. w. Kinzer going on his
bond, Clay was released and has been
working on Mr.. kinzer's farm since
chen, until Saturday last, when he left,
having privately sold out his interest in
the July Court. Sheriff Latta found out
that Clay was at the house of Sandy
Wilkes, col, on Lytle's creek, and Wed
nesday morning about day-break he
rode up to Sandy's house. On being
asked if Clay was there Sandy said he
was not, but on search Clay was found
in Sandy's house, and he was brought to
town and is at present stopping at Mr..
Latfa's hotel Tuesday night Ebert
mo way related to Clay Cor
dom, who lives near Sandy's house, lost
a fine hog, and the suspicion is that Clay
knows something about that hog.

The candidates for County officers
spoke in the Circuit Court Room last |
Monday. The candidates tor the Legis |
lature, Mr.. J. T. Moore and Esq. G. w.
Kinzer, closed the speaking. Mr.. Moore
said he was ten times better known in
the county than the COLUMBIA HERALD,
which assertion brought down the
hoEse. Election day will tell.
A number OF our citizens are expect
ing TO start for Long Branch, New York,
OF the 18th OF June, to be at the great
race between Longfellow and Harry
Basset, which takes place on the second
day of July, Ii lis believed that ar

wants the crowd to have an understand |
ing that there shall be no betting out !
side Of their crowd, SO that in the event |
they lose, some of them will still have |
money enough TO bring them all back |
