left Pesy and Allen Powell have bought the
"Alhambra" stock of groceries, the property
OF the late I. A. Thompson. These are pop

A pleasant party was given at Col. Matthew
/ D. COOpcr's last Tuesday night. We believe
this Is the third or fourth given at this hOSpl-
/ table residence this season. Two large paTlOTS
/ were filed with beautiful young girls, who are

| C., was there, with many gallant cavaliers at

1t is in general a mistake to suppose that
publication which is distributed gratutously
| has any peculiar advantages for the advertiser.
This point is very often claimed for the cphe-
, neral Journals and the statement Is frequently
| made that. because paper Is free, 1t will be
more acceptable TO the reading public, and
| more carefully peTuSed. But 1t Is well known
to some advertisers, and should be remember
ed bv all, that neither statement Is apttO be
correct. People are quicker to take and read
| what they pay for. They are more apt to read
4 paper thoroughly, under those conditions,
. and think much more of 1t, while they put
aside as worthless, half read or not read at all,
G paper which they suppose to be OF little val
ne, because it is given away. Advertising
which is given away is thrown away.
The fourth quarterI meeting of the Meth
| Odist Church, Columbia Station, was held last
Saturday evening. The pastor had a good

church, in place of L. II. Estes, removed to
| Memphis; and John W. WltherspOOn district
| steward. They also reelected John T. Brown
! Superintendent OF the South Columbia sun
| day School. Under his charge this school
has increased TO about eighty pupils, and his
| Reelection Is a merited camplIment. W. r.
! Elan was elected Superintendent Of the old
/ NJ. Z. Church in Central Columbia. In an
! uOuucinT this fact 10 the school, next day, he
f
School was the second largest in town, and he
! intended to try to make it the largest, The
! committee on parsonage reported to the board
of stewards that 50 800 or 8 ,Ooo had been
/ subscribed, and that it hoped that the
/ parsonage would be ready for the preacher
by Christmas.
A small party of ladies' and gentlemen were
invited to the residence of Mr.. Craik west Of
the old jackson College I&l, last Friday even
| ing at six o'clock. Mr. Talcott, an accom-
( pIished civil engineer, on the Louisville, Nash
| vile and Great Southern ROalrOad was pres

The residence is on high hill, overlooking
the surrounding country for miles, and the

pTestldIgitator, was introduced to the audience
by Mr.. Murphy, and many wonderful things

from Trinity College and the other from the
North and South railroad, were present, The

We make the assertion, without fear Of sue
Ccsstul contradiction, that no country news
