Jan. s, 1T.
CoHPLIMsgrARY-Our thanks are due
Col. T. Dodamead, General Superintendent
Of the G. & C. r. E.. for season ticket over
his road.
MIGRA7ISG.-Quite a number of colored
people-ninety or more-men, women and
children, left the upper part Of Laurens
County last week, and passed through
Newberry, en- route for Tennessee.
New MARBLE YARD.-By reference to
card it will be seen that Mr.. l.. 81. Spcers has
opened Marble Yard in this place, and is
prepared to contract for monuments, head
stones or any character Of work in his line.
Mr.. SpeerS will guarantee satisfaction.
LOOK OCr.-We have been requested to
state to the public that in a few days the
store formerly occupied by Abrams & Metts,
will be opened as Dry Goods store, ard an
elegant stock Of goods displayed. Be on
hand for the opening, and be prepared for

WILLIAMSON MALE AcADEMy.-Atten-
tion is called to the card presented by the
Board of the above named Academy in this
paper. The advantages accruing from
course in this Academy are many, among
which may be named thorough and rapid
education, low rates of tuition, cheap hoard.
and last bat not least, delightful, healthy
climate, with access to minersl spring.
No PosrPoSExEsT.-The Columbia Tn
IONS "reliable" says that there will be no
postponement of the time for imposing the
penalty upon those who refuse or neglect TO
pay their taxes before the 18th. The relia-
bles of the Union are not always correct,
yet we are not disposed to doubt its infoi ma
tior in this respect, aud we would advise
our readers who have not paid to do so at
once.
The NAvAssA GUANos, Of which Mr..
Thos F. Harmon is the agent, are offered on
fair and reasonable terms, and as this Is the
time for farmers TO be laying in their sup
plies, while they have the money, aud be.
fore the active work Of Spring commences,
ahey are invited by Mr.. Harmon to come
and purchase from him of the celebrated
Nayassa, at the low cash price. If this does
not suit, because Of short funds, his credit
price certainly will. Either plan will suit
this very accommodating agent.
SXALL-Pox.-Wc notice in several of our
exchanges that this loa,hsome disease is
making its appearance, bnt in most cases IN
q mild form. We have heard Of no case
here, but as the community can have no cer-
tainty of immunity, and can only hope that
90 dreadful visitation may be spared. it Is
we'll that every precaution be adopted, and
as one Of the means is vaccination, it would
be we'll to resort to it at once. Our readers
will be acting wisely if they consult their
physicians.

HOUSES WANrED.-Duriog the year past
the demand for dwellings was unpre ecedent-
ed. This year opens with an urdimiuished
want for house room. Twenty dwellings at
the least calculation could be filed with good
tenants were they to be had, and it is mat
ter of surprise that capitalists do rot turn
their attention to such profitable mode OF
investment. There are plenty Of good and
eligible building lots unimproved which
might be made to yield handsome income,
and afford habitations for those who are
forced 70 board OF live about in furnished
rooms Build houses ye monied men.
How THEY DID SUFFER.-Last Friday
was bitter cold day, and the wind was as
sharp as double-edged sword, consequently
there was much suffering, and none felt 1t
more tba n the ladies who left comfortable
homes and fires to take the cars down. Uo-
fortunately, they started too soon, not bear
ing in mind that you must "looE out TOR the
engine when the whistle blows" corse-
quently, they had to remain over there IN the
cold so long and suffered so E1ch that the
soul Of q snow-embedded ESquimau1 would
have melted with commiSseration. We ad-
wise our travelling friends, particularly Ia
dies, to wait hereafter till they hear tue
whistle. A comfortable room at the depot
with a good fire, would be highly appre-
cis.cd.
TEs TAxEs.-The tax books have been
open now some eight days. and the rush has
been continuous during the whole Of that
time. We learn from the Treasurer that $780,
600 have heen already paid in, and Of that
amount about $1,000 for County purposes,
and tha. the number Of receipts filed is 900.
In a short time, the Treasurer informs Us,
that for the benefit Of the tax payers, the
amount Of taxes received for all purposes
will be published in full.
In this connection it is requested that we
publish The following opinion Of Attorney
General Melton, as to how the taxes levied
for the present year are to be applied:
IN my opinion, the taxes to be collected
-nder the levy for the current fiscal year,
mus, be applied exclusively in payment Of
the Expenditures Of this year; and cannot be
annrnnriated TO any extent. 10 the deficiencies
