The Peabody School Fund.

We learn through Mr.. R. a, Bowen,
School Commissioner, that the appli-
cation for aid from tho aPeabody Ed
ucational Fund" for the school located
at "Nine Times" Pickens County, has
failed. DR.. Sears, tho "President OF
tho Peabody Education Fund.-" has
informed Mr.. Jillson, State Superin-
tendant, that the amount of fluid,
that can be givon to South Carolina,
has already been exhausted; and there,
fore, no aid can be extended either to
this school or any other new applica-
tion in this State.
The conditions upon which hid can
be obtained from the peabody Eduo
cation Fund" are so numerous and
rigid that but fow communities, in
our sparsely scttlod country, can avail
themselves oft. When cities fail to
secure aid thinly populated country
places can scarcely hope to do so.
Grocnville tried few years ago to
keep up such a school; but tho condi>
tions necessary to obtain aid, grow
harder and harder from year to year,
and she, therefore, abandoned it. Tbo
conditions necessary to obtain uid arc
too rigid for the South; and, as a
consequence, most of this fund of Mr.
Peabody, goes to the education of the
most populous States, such rs the
Eastern, Middle, and Western. We
regret that the good people of Easta-
too have failed in this noble enter
prise. We hope, however, that they
will continue, even by their own un>
aided efforts, to roll the ball that, they
have so laudably commenced to move.

A sad Ease
Ycsfnrllay. Marshal Davis

Yesterday, Marshal Davis arrested
a man named Lee Hanlon and a
young girl named Mary Z. Slluenfeldt
in this city, who were living together
as man and wife, without the author
ity of law. 1t seems that the man,
who is sort of desperate, and who
was arrested in this city about two
weeks ago, on the charge of drunken
ness and disoraarly conduct, became
acquainted with the girl in Lovilla,
Monroe county, some time ago and
their acquaintance ripened into an in
timacy that promises to cause the fell
low considerable trouble. The man
is rough turbulent fellow and is
about % or 80 years of age, and the
girl is rather fair looking and only
about u years old. Davis was in
formed by the father of the girl that
he had good reason to believe that
the parties were in this city and the
Marshal Immediately commenced the
search, and effected their capture yes
terday, as above stated, and took
them to Abba, where he turned
them over to Sheriff Robb. The
charge Of enticing the. girl away fol
the purpose of prostitution is very
serious one, and if sustained, may
cause the fellow very serious trouble

Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lastrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
II removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create a new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"
