VOLUME 22..-1S76.

THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER, which, on
the lst of January, 1876 will enter upon the TWEEN
rY-sEcoND volume, is large, twenty eight COL
umn paper, handsomely printed on clear, legible
type. and devoted to the POLITICAL, SOCIAL, Aa-
R1cULTyRAL AND COMMERCIAL INTERESTS OF THE
SOUTH. In announcing the new volume, we are
enabled to promise increased attractions in all the
different departments of the paper conspicuous
among them being the SERIAL STORIES, "iltteh
expressly for the ENQU1RBR.
As non partisan, independent family ne"spa-
per- the future editorial conduct OF the ENQUIRER
can be as we'll judged by the past as by any prom
ise which we might now feel disposed to make.
An experience of thirty-five years in the newspa-
per business-of which times at least one-half has
been unremittngly devoted to the management
of the ENQUIRER-fully convinces the proprietor
that the plan he adopted on assuming control OF
the paper is the correct mode of journalism in the
present day. The true mission of the newspaper
is to place before the public facts as they may exist
unbiased by partisan feelings or sinister motives
and the propriety of this course is fully attested,
not only by the success of the ENQUIRER, which
can truthfuly claim the largest circulation OF any
country newspaperin the South, but also by many
other of the most popular and widely circulated
papers of the day. The course thus indicated we
shall continue to pursue, aiming to publish a
LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
which shall be welcome visitor to the Home CIR
Gle. and acceptabe alike to all classes OF readers.
Hence. the news department of the ENQUIRER,
whether of matters at home or abroad-political or
otherwise-will be conducted with the utmost care
and only facts as they seem to exist will be pre-

extra copy of the paper for which the club may

Premiums we are now offering, we cannot afford
to give an extra copy to the club-maker who re-
ceves anv Premium enumerated in our lists.

HISTORICAL SKETCHES

THE HISTORICAL SKETCHES OF THE EARLY
History OF SOUTH CAROLINA will constitute an
important feature Of the volume. These Sketches
are wrtton by Rev. ROBERT LATHAM, and COM
mencing with the earliest settlement Of the State
in colonial times, gradually trace its rise and pro-
gress. To the writing and compilation of these
Sketches the author has devoted much thought
and extensive research. Besides the colonial his
tory, they will contain the stirring scenes and I'M
portant events, the anecdotes and incidents-leg-
endary and authentic-which have never before
been fully published, connected with the Revolu-
tionary history of the State. Much of the mate
rial of these Sketches being traditional-many OF
the events portrayed having never been in print
and written in Mr.. LATHAN's easy, familarstyle,
they will be read with peculiar satisfaction, not
only in our own State, but by every one having
just appreciation of the history of noble ances-

A COOP STORY BY Col. LAMAR.-Col.
Lamar, in his speech before the Democratic
Convention at Jackson, recently, told the
following anecdote, which, we were told by a
reliable gentleman, has its foundation in fact ::
There lived in one of the counties adjoining
Lafayette, few years ago, an old negro man
who was engaged in buying cattle and driving
them to Memphis for market, and by talking
in all the neighbors's milch COWS, etc., he
found on the way, he always managed to
make considerable profit on his cattle tra-
ding.
On one occasion, however, he invested in q
drove of hogs and took them to Memphis ;
but by loss in weight, and decline in the
market, he lost some money in the transac.
ton. He had always been in the habit of
boasting, after selling his cattle, of the large
profits he had made; but when he returned
home after the sales of his hogs he did not
have word to say. The little darkies did not
understand his silence, and quite number
of them gathered around him, and entreated
him to tell how much profit be had made on
his hogs, but all they could get out Of Gun.
Gle Joe' for some time was:
"G'way, g'way, children. Don't be bod
derin me bout dem hogs"
But they continued to tantalize the old
man, until he exclaimed, in great fury:
profit, h-ll! All de profit got was de
comp'ny OBJ de id hogs from here to Mem
phis."
The Colonel then remarked that he suppos-
ed the audience knew of good many men
who had gone over to the Radical party
to get Office, and who, so far, had got moth
ing but "de company."-Mobile Register.

ANEW FAMILY STORY PAPER !
THE FAMILY VISITOR.

In order to meet the requirements Of large
class of readers who take no interest in much Of
the reading matter with which the inside pages of
the ENQUIRER are necessarily filled, we have
determined TO commence the publication, on the
first Of January, 1876, of anew paper, to be called
the FAMILY VISITOR, which, besides contain
ing matter prepared expressly for it, will also be
made up from the LITERARY AND MISCEL-
LANEOUS DEPARTMENTS OF THE ENQUIR-
Err, thus affording purely Literary and Misce-
laneous publication, entirely devoid of local and
other matter unadapted to the tastes of the gener-
al reader. To accomplish this object, therefore,
the FAMILY VISITOR will contain no matter
of local character either of the affairs of this or
adjoining counties, nor will there be any adver-
tsements of a local nature admitted in it's columns.
It is the proprietor's purpose, by entirely exclu-
ding this class of matter, to render the FAMILY
VISITOR an entertaining, instructive Home
Companion in every family throughout the land.
