The Commencement Of Vol. x.

This number commences the tenth volume of
the TIMES, under its present ma cement, and we
find il impossible to crowd in an extended article
prepared for the occasion, but feel conscious
that our readers would prefer TO read rs much
current news as it is possible to get in. Although
we cannot sny our ten years Of work has been
profitable, pecuniarily, we can say. with feelings
Of pride and pleasure, that they have been the
pie asantest years Of our editorial life, and while
We are aware that we have not accomplished
that great journalistic feat Of pleasing every
body, we have the satisfaction of knowing that
better men THAI we have as signaly failed in
that attempt; and in looking back upon our
course we can find nothing in it we would
change, and have no apologies to make, except
tho want Of ability to do more and better for
the County. What we have done has been Act,
uated by IN honest desire to do the best for tho
County Of Union, not even asking whether IL
was popular or not. Our past is before the peo.
pie and we have no incentive from the peopie 10
promise any change or improvement in the fu-
ture. Should that incentive be given us, how
ever, the people may rest assured that they will
realize the benefit in larger and, in every re-
spect, much better paper.
Honestly wishing for the whole people of the
County Of Union in particular and the State of
South Carolina in general, q peaceful, happy
and prosperous New Year, we settle down TO
another twelve months Of labor.

We publish in another column the Stock law
as IL passed at the last session of the Legisatu,
We hear that number Of persons ore saying
"bad words about the law. Hold on, gentle
men. Keep your temper. Try Il before YOU
condemn 1t. In Chester County it was as round
ly condemned when it was first adopted, but
th2se who condemned IL then are its warmest

passed for that County. If we were n betting

Miss Reid's School.

We coll attention to the advertisement of that

c. NJ. Reid. Her acknowledged fitness for the
important position of teacher of young Ladies,
her long and successful experience In some of
the best Institutions at the South and her pure
christian character, certainly entitle her school
to the most favorable consideration Of oil in this
county who desire to give their daughters or
wards an education that will thoroughly fit them
for any sphere Of life in which they may move
hereafter.
