" \ large crowd way in town or
Sale-day, and a good deal oftpropcrty
changed hands.
w. We have had dreaful apell
of weather. The streets, are in q
worse condition than I'VE have ever
seen them.
W Moving seems to be tho ord CT
Of tho d"y. Wagons are continually
seen containing household effects.
Everybody is on the move.
" The Country people complain
loudly that whenever they do como in
to pay their taxes they cannot get
into the Trcusurer's office. Tho
Office should be open all day.
sNT" We call attention to the
advertisement Of Goo. w, Williams
q Go in another column. The Caro-.
lima Fertilizer and the Acid Phos-
phatc arc standard Fertilizers.
~ Let every one of our citizens
think serious y of the question of cal
ling taxpayers Convention. They
will doubtless be called upon to de-
oide this in short time.

CIr The ,sle of the Church and
benches advertised to take place on
Tuesday, 9th, is postponed OH account
of tho weather until Tuesday, 18th.
@ People in town have been hay
ing Il lively time since Now Year
settling accounts. y great many,
like Mr.. Sowc,L bury would rather
a'ce you bill than poy it.
slD@ There arc some fine mules in
town but they don't sell rapidly.
Their brethren in the Legislature
have already absorbed the carh hat

SUICIDE. We learn from pri-
Tatc source that Mr.. Richard Wcrn,

" A good many of our subacri
bors will find an x on there papers.
This means "time up A good
many arc ready to settle Whenever the
bill is due. We place this mark on
their papers to give them this infor-
nation.
G- Already some persons arc
paying their taxes. The time allow
cd is too short, and should be enten
dcd at least two months 1t will be
impossible, taking the weather into
consideration, for the taxes to
be collected in two weeks, even il
the people had tho money.
" The tax proposed IT, the
County Commissioners has nothing
to do with teachers pay certificates
These arc satisfied by state and local
tax. Thore does not however seem
to be much satisfaction either of the
pay certificates or Of tie persons who
hold them.
EE5" But few certificates of in
dobtednsss have found thoir way TO
Winnsboro. An injunction was OBJ.
tanned several days since, from
Judge Cooke, restraining County
II Treasurers from receiving them
Judge Cooke has however dissolved
the injunction already. lie codldn't
stand the pressure.

concert in Winnsboro at an earl,
date. Prof. Denck is acknowledge
to be one Of the leading pianists O
