The Town Ordinances.


The communication of "Cit.,"
published elsewhere, is quite to the
point. We have ourselves wonder
cd why the "cow ordinance" has
not been published. We are au-
thoritatively informed that it was
passed by Council, but as to it's
terms and requirements, we are like
everybody outside of the Council
in total ignorance. We have un-
derstood that the Council intend to
re"enact and then publish in
pamphlet form all the town ordi-
nances, but when this will be done,
we cannot say. We think that
whether the pamphlet comes out or
not, each ordinance ought to be
published in The News AND HERALD.
For this, of course, we expect to be
paid--as are all other newspapers
that do such work. But if the
town Of Winnsboro is actually too
poor to pay small sum of money
for thing that is of interest md
Importance to all her citizens, and
if the Council will, in solemn form,
declare that extreme poverty to
exist, we shall gladly do the work
for nothing./
We have long wanted to publish
a report Of Council proceedings,
for, not only would such publica~
ton interest our readers and help
our paper, but we conceive that the
taxpayers ought to be fully and
constantly informed of what Coun-
Gil is doing, and of all receipts and
disbursements at the town treasury.
Not that anybody suspects any
thing wrong, but that everybody
feels an interest, and wants to know
just what is doing. We have long
desired, as we have said before, to
publish a synopsis of Council pro-
ceedings, but, through no fault of
our own, have been unable to do so.
Our understanding is that at the
Council meetings no one is expected
Gf, indeed, allowed to be present
but the members themselves
Otherwise we should always have
present some one to report for
THE News AND HERALD. On inuuir-
ing about the matter, we have gen.
orally received reply to the effect
that there would be no objection to
publishing the proceedings, and
that we could get them from the
Clerk. On applying to the Clerk,
we were courteously treated, of
course, but told that we could get
the proceedings from his minute
book. This put an end to the
matter. The minute-book, if like
all other minute-books, will give
little information; and, besides, we
rather think the minutes would not
be formally written out when we
should want them. From the notes
OF the Clerk, taken at the meeting,
we could not get what we want.
We make these suggestions to the
Council: l. Require the Clerk to
furnish, for publication in The News
AND HERALD, full report of the pro-
ceedings of each meeting or, let a
reporter attend the meetings. 2.
Cease the practice of false economy,
and publish all ordinances in full, as
they are enacted or, if the town
is in such a state of poverty as to
be actually unable to pay for adver-
tising, appeal to the charity of some
newspaper man, and have the work
done for nothing.

IncENDIARY FIRE We are in
formed that the blacksmith shop Of

was destroyed by fire on last Friday
night. The shop, with it's entire
contents, was destroyed. The loss is
estimated at two thousand dollars,
with no insurance. The fire is be-
leved to have been of incendiary
origin, as there had been no fire in
the shop since the Wednesday pre-

There Is a curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days, and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Underhill, the well-known
grape-grower Of Croton Point. died in 1871.
Some OF his heirs entertained temperance
views Of such extreme kind, that they were
hand to be sold or any moro to be made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. 1t is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded In arranging for settlement
Of the estate and the sale Of the wines on
hand. Among these is wine of the vintage
OF 1864, described as "Swcet Union Port"
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine. and being
wholly unlike any other wine of American
growth. Its purity. age and mcllowness are
remarkable. and both physicians and wine
fanciers have a special interest in it as the
Oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the
hands Of the well-known wholesale grocery
house of the Thurbers.---M. u i7,I6ane,
Nov. 19. 1871.
The above speaks for itself, but we would
add That this is the pure julceEof the grape,
neither d'zsyed, Gqu0red nor .oate,ed, that It
has been ripened and nellowed by age. and
for medicinal or sacramental purposes It is
unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most
of the leading Druggists throughout the
United States, and at Wholesale from the
undersigned, who will forward descriptive
pamphlet, free of charge. on application.
