EDITORS HERALD: Now that farming time is
here, our little village is almost deserted, and
what of life that vet remains. apart from the
roar of the mill, the song of the mill hey, and
the sound of the anvil, is from the marble
yard where Polk, Billy and Jett are learning tc
play marbles, so as to be able to beat all the
BOYS when a rainy day comes so that they can
come to town. Last Thursday, however, you
would have been surprised. There was going
to be railroad meeting in town our people are
all in favor of the railroad). Had you seen tie
crowd collecting that morning; although 1t was
market day, yet no market day ever brought
with it so much interest as this day. Long
before the accustomed arrival of the Mcken-
non market train, the market men, boys and
darkies, were gathered, deposited their vari-
Gus baskets, buckets, ect., ETC., and were eager
ly listening for Mes well known voice. Now
and then, one would say, Il wish he would
come" Now be comes; that group, except
two, to wit, Messrs. G.. A. X. and w. F. K,
gather around him with looks which seemed
to say, "what's on hands first this morning ?"
Without word Nc goes to his scales, and
says, "your buckets gentlemen" Then for an
hour nothing but business was talked, weigh
ing butter, counting eggs, and coping chick
ems, and receiving. greenbacks and nlekels;
The hour passes, business through, and all
take seats as though in the court house when
his Honor is on the bench, when those two
gentlemen who were made exceptions just
now, were arraigned before Esq. Mckennon,
and tried in a damage suit brought by the said
Nc. for counting and putting into his egg-box,
two weeks before, MOLE, AID which Nc had
taken to Columbia, and which he stated had
not broken more than ten dozen eggs. Said par
ties were proven guilty. and damages assessed.
However, before the court decided, one of the
party, Mr.. W. F. h, asked Mr.. Levi King to
plead his cause, whereupon Mr.. King, after
making very able defense for his client, told
the court if he gave his decision against his
client, he would be compelled to sue Mr..
Sumner White for his moles destroying HIS
corn,

HOHSP Robbery.

Mr. John NJ. Hickey's house was
broken into last Friday night by rob-
bers. Mrs. Fletcher, his sister, widow
OF A. j. Fletcher, deceased, formerly
Secretary of State, arrived there on the
night before, and all the circumstances
tend to show that she was followed by
professional robbers. They first put her
under the influence of chloTofOrm, or
some other opiate, as she believes, and
then took from her trunk two hundred
and seventy-five dollars. They carried
the trunk from her room into the hall
before opening it; and did not disturb
anything else in the house. They
unlocked the front door with burglars
instruments, although the key was in
the lock. Capt. Hickey remembers that
he locked the door before retiring. The
end of the key showed very plainly how
the instrument had been used on it.
