with it at all. '...-. h"..

- UoMMITTED.-Dr. L. @. Neal, Of
Pickensville, was committed to the
Jail of this County last Saturday, by
Trial Justice Taylor,lin default of bail,

20 2sAooIpENT.---We regret to learn that
Miss Sallie Nix, daughter of Mr.. J.
j. Nix of the Easlcy Hotel, met with
the misfortune last week, of having
her knee cap dislocatod and the knee
joint otherwise seriously damaged, by
alhorse running away with q spring
wagon, in which she was riding.
I'd Edmond Rogers, coIored, on tho
18th instant, went to Central Station
in this County, and drank whiskey in
a bar-room until he became very
drunk. He was carried homo by his
friends in the evening, and about IL
o'clock in the night, died, it is suppos-
ed, from the effects of the whiskey.
Ills fate should be warning to others
Clfl those, who have been read.
ing our paper for years without paying
as cent for it, will only como for
ward like men and ask us to make
them present of the subscription, VIC
vii! do so.
We notice our farmers are goiug to
use a good deal of guano again this
year, but we do not think they are
going TO use as much as they did last
year. This is encouraging, and if they
would quit cotton altogether there
would be no necessity for any guano,
and the County would be much bet
ter off.
.r INFORMATION WANTED. Mr.. Thos.
J. ChilLs desires information, if any
can be obtained, of his son Bajamin,
aged Is years, who left homo on Sum
day morning the 18th instant, without
giving any one any information of his
intentions of leaving or where he was
going. Said boy is small TO his ago,
rather black hair, black eyes and sal~
low complexion. Any one knowing
anything concerning the whereabouts
OF the said boy, will greatly oblige his
distressed father by addressing HIM
at Pickens G. H. S. q.
% OLD DAsH.-We have received
few "dots" from "Old Dash," but who
he is, is the question. We know him
not. He may be clever fellow of
good intentions, but certainly has but
little experience in the newspaper
business, or he would not write an.
anonymous communication for pub
lication. The communication would
4
have been published had the real
name Of "Old Dash," accompanied it,
and it had been free from personal
reflections. "Old Dash" or any other
"Dash" is respectfully informed that
for the purpose of securing considera-
tionvfor their communications the real
name must accompany it; not for pub
lication, but as q guarantee of good
faith on their part, and as protec-
tlon TO the proprietors. This is the
invariable rule of cur office, and we
thought the public had become aware
of 1t before this. "Old Dash" went
in the waste basket,to s'eep.
FARMERS BUYING CoRN.-We no
tiee some Of orr farmers buying corn,
who would have corn to sell if thev
would only plant less cotton. No
doubt they have, in many instances
togo n.debt for it, and pay heavy
