Clean Up.-During the Winter season
there invariably collects around the prem
ises of even the most particular house.
keepers, lot of rubbish and garbage,
which, with the approach of Spring, should
be at once removed. Aside from the mere
measure of cleanliness, this matter should
receive attention more particularly as a
matter of health for there is no fact better
established than that filth and dirt around
a dwelling is one Of the most frequent
causes Of sickness and disease. There are
persons, however, who, notwithstanding
they feel this to be true, yet through care
lessness or some other feeling, allow filth
of all kinds to accumulate around their
premises, and never think of removing it
until they are 50 compelled, ether by the
complaints of their neighbors, who are
sufferers, or by the enforcement of those
laws relative to the matter, which have
been enacted by the authorities of every
properly governed municipality. Should
property holders refuse to clean up their
premises, the authorities should have the
matter attended to for them.

as and deputy White, were returning from
sale in Sassafras Neck, on Monday even
ing, and when passing G. w. Denny's, ex-

and Mr.. Denny told them that he was
about to try horse which a colored man
wished to sell to him. The sheriff inquir-
ed of the owner of the horse the price and
he answer $75. The horse being evidently
worth a great deal more money, the sheriff

Blood stains we're found on the negro

article Of lady's dress was found in one of
his pockets, stained with blood. He ac-
counted for the blood by saying that his
nose had been bleeding, and that he had
been struck with a stone when coming
through Chester.
Mr.. Steel, on receiving information of
Thomas $50, his share of the offered re-
ward and took the horse away. The ami
