There was larger crowd in town
on saleday last than we have seen for
some timo past. The sheriff sold
several tracts of land, which brought
very low prices. Tho Oats estate,
lying mostly inside tho corporate
limits OF Easley Station, did not aver
ago ten dollars per acre. This is evi-
denoe enough of tho financial press
ure of our people, besides the enor-
nous tax forced upon the County to
pay tho interest on the Railroad bonds
makes people shy of investing their
money in tho County, Property is
deprociating rapidly, and it's assessed
valuation another year, will, we
predict, be rs or 30 per cent less than
tho present year. This can be seen
by the prico tho Oats lands brought,
which are Immediately on the Rail
road, and within the corporate limits
Of q business little town.

LIBERTY ITEMS.

Wo attended, tho Convention at
Mount Tabor on tho 28th and 10th
ult. Tho citizens of that section are
very hospitable: Their kindness will
not be forgotten.
Our singing school commences
Monday, 9th INST, undor tho auspices
of Prof James Douthit. lilo is an ao-
complishod musician, and we fcol as
surcd that his instructions will bo very
beneficial to our community.
Messrs. J. w. and D. J. Greer have
hodge plants set around their lots,
which promise to bo quito success.
In throo yoars they will havo grown
sufficiently thick to form a substantial
fence.
A stand Of bees was taken from
Mr.. J. J. Wakolin's apiary on tho
night of tho 25th ult. Though the
honey was swoot, yet doubtless the
thief had "salty" time.
The "no tonco" question is still
gaining ground among our citlzons,
and we think it highly probable that
by the 18th inst. tho majority of thom
will be in favor of fencing stock in lieu
of fencing farms.
On tho morning of the 31st ult.,
mad dog was killed at Mr.. J. J.
Wakolin's. In our town thcso kind
of. dogs havo peculiar dislike to the
passenger trains on tho Air Line.
Our conclusion is that they arc ai1'oc-
ted with "ocomotiphobia" instead of
hydrophobia. A dog affected with
tho former disease suffers most in the
rcck, does not bark or bite, is not
dangerous, and expires Immediately,
with his head on ono sido of the rail-
road and his body on the othor.

Ayers .Ague Cure,

Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c, and indeed
all the affections which arise ffom maiari-
GUS, march, or miasmaHc poisons.
This is compound remedy, prepared with
scientinc skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the sevcrest cases Of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
remedy the necessities Of the people in mala.
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine set discovered for the
cure of mtcrmittents is, that it contains no qui-
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger Of quinism any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before. It
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and 30 unvarying has been its success
thM. uhas gained the reputation of being infal-
hDle. 1t can, therefore, be safely recommended
as sure remedy and specific for the Fover and
Ague OF the West, and the Chills and Fever Of
.he south. 1t counteracts the miasmatic poison
ia inc Dlood, and frees the system from its inhu-
cnce' 80 that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
oi.oc , broken up by 1t, do not return until the
dlsease is again contracted
1nc SfeaC variety of disorders which arise from
the lrrltatlon OF this poison, such as NeupaIcia,
rheumatism, Gont, Headache, Blindness,
A"otnAOne' Earache' CataICh, Asthma, Pal
In the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis and deranpe-
Of the Stomach, all of which become in.ern1it
tent or periodical, have 10 speedier remedy than
AYERS AGUE CURE, which cures them ali alike.
and protects the system from future attacks. AS
preventive, it is Of immense service IN those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
1t stays the development Of the disease If taken
onthe first approach fthe prcmonitory symp-
toms. Travellers anil temporary residents are
mus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
VIII ever suffer if they avail themselves Of the
protection this remedy affords.

Wade Hampton.

We agree with contemporary
that no man living represents in
his own character a larger number
Of the American people than Gov.
Wade Hampton. BY word and
deed he has acquired a national
fame. de has become a chief fig-
ure in the annals OF the times.
Though rising in prominence as a
leader on the defeated side Of the
late war, he has won the popular
heart, North and South, and is TO
day the most faithful exponant Of
that sentiment which Is 70 forever
Unite the recent hostile sections.
His heroic bearing through the trials
that confronted him when deliver
ing South Carolina from bondage
secured the love OF the entire
South; while the liberal, manly, pa
triotic utterances that from time
10 time, have dropped from his lips
have awaked the admiration Of the
whole North. In the presence Of
Wade Hampton sectional hate dare
not hftits head. Ia his pure char.
acter are mirrored all the best ma
tional traits.

The question is asked by every
one who sees the new elevator, how
in the name of the State Grange
and little monkeys are they going
to get wheat in house with no en-
trance to it? Ali There's the
rub. Everything must have mys-
terry about it, if it wants notoriety.
1t is thought by some that they will
bore hole in the top and shoot the
wheat in with a shot gun; by 9TH
ers that they will tote it up on lad
der and pour it through knot hole
in the gable end; by others that the
wheat is already in there; by others
that they will just pretend that they
have it full of wheat; by Others that
its nobody's derghned business
how the old thing works. We in
cline to several opinions.

We have suggested to some of
the members of the Board of Alder
men to have our streets and houses
numbered. 1t takes a man fifteen
minutes to direct stranger how to
find house or street, and then the
stranger misses it. 1t will cost the
city very little to have the street
names painted, and the Board can
require the citizens to number their
houses, appointing some one to
number them so that it will be cor
rect. The convenience of our peo-
pie demand this.

about 10 years. He has been a

For some time somebody has
been committing a nuisance every
night in the south entrance of An
toinette Hall and escaped detection.
Last Thursday Capt. John Arch
Richardson was asked by the Mayor
to take the trail, and that same
night he caught one colored boy in
the box Office and another hid in
the gallery. They were reminded
not to be caught there again and
suffered to depart unpublished. The
persons who are doing this will get
into very serious business if they
do not desist at once.
