last, by the elegant ana accomplished
Miss LEGAL, now teacher Of vocal
music at Due West Female College,
was both an unexpected pleasure and
a q + musical treat. We feel some
what Jealous of our Due West neigh
tbors but hope that the young lady viii!
itind an early opportunity of repeating
her visit to our town, where n has
already made many friends.
WHAT THE DATE MEANs.-We
put opposite the anne of subscribers
the date to which they have paid.
These dates have no reference to the
age of the subscriber, as one good
lady supposed. In the date opposite
one name who had paid to Aug. &C."
the ~" was inadvertently omitted,
and it stood Sag. 76." The wife OF
this subscriber thought we meant to
insinuatc that he was "aged &C." and
ordered her liege lord to stop his pa
per. She said we ought to know her
husband a not that old.
MAD DoGs.-One or two dogs have
been killed in town within the last
few days which exhibited some symp-
tons Of hydrophobia. While there
NAV be some d0ubtabout these dogs
really being affected'with this dread
full disease, still it is we'll enough fol-
our people to be on the alert for mad
dogs and promptly kill all that show
any such misunderstanding
Spartan. We think it would be very
we'll to kill four-fifths of the dogs in
Abbeville County on suspicion.
HYMENEAL.-On yesterday evening
the imposing services Of solemniza-
ton of matrimony were celebrated at
Trinity Church in presence of an au-
dience of five hundred persons. The
happy couple were Eugene Z. Gary,
Esq, and Miss Eliza Tusten of this
place. Mr.. kershaw oficiated. After
wards Mr.. and Mrs. Tusten received
their guests at home and entertained
them in princely style.
We wish the young couple a long
life of happiness and prosperity.
THE Winstoro News and Herald
saws that the town needs an additional
number of cisterns in order that the
usefulness of the fire department. may
be extended. After u big fire we
bought ladders and India rubber buck
cts. They served q good purpose-the
ladders to lend out to carpenters and
some of the buckets have been used
to hold ashes. We have had no need
tor cisterns nor water either.
QuERY.-.Will some one please tell
US the difference in publishing o bar
room advertisement and in publish
ing extraordinary puffs of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters? We do not
