RAILROAD ACCOMMODATIONS .--Partics
hereafter purchasing tickets on Satur-
days for either Columbia, Charlotte or
Augusta will have non-transferable rc-
turn tickets issued free, which will be
good until midday OH tho following
Monday. This is all accommodation
which will be appreciated. 1t is to be
hoped that tho Road will soon begin to
issue return tickets between way sta
tions, or at least to and from the coun-
try towns along the route. 1t is also
intimated that local freight may soon
be put on the road, which will accom-
modate travel. This change is i'm
perativcly needed, as tho freight
reached Winnsboro at 5 a. m. on Sat-
urday, and not until a. m. on Sun
day. A lady with sick infant was in
tho cars thirteen hours between Char
lotto and Winnsboro, most of the time
being spent waiting at tho depot in
Charlotte for four or five carloads of
freight from tho Richmond and Dan
vile Road. 1t is much to bo hoped
for; all parties that tho authorities Of
tho road will soon begin spirit Of ac-
commodation to their customers and
patrons, policy that has long lain
dormant.

to-do German citizen of Hickman,
feeling the need of wife, inserted

Mr.. Fethe expressed the money to

met at Buffers Hall and nominated
j. I'll. Butler unanimously by the
adoption of the following resolu-
ton: "The true workingmen and
taxpayers of the Second Ward here
assembled, declare that the Coun.
cilmen holding over in this city
have violated their pledges to the
people, and constantly maligned
and insulted Mr.. J. Fl. Butler
while in that body, because he tried
to perform his whole duty to his par
ty and to the whole people and bring
prosperity to our city; therefore we
hereby nominate Jessee HI. Butler
for the Office of Councilman from
the Second Ward of this city, and
recommend him to all who desire
the welfare of our people, as an
honest, intelligent and Industrious
gentleman, who has worked for the
welfare of the whole city and ex.
posed corruption; and we have con-
tidence that he will again perform
his duty with renewed zeal.

marry bekase they think wimmin
will be skarse next year, and live
to wonder how the stock holds out.
sum marry to get rid of them
selves, and discover that the game
was one that two can play at and
neither win. Sum marry for love
without cent in their pocket, nor
a friend in the world, nor drop of
pedigree. This looks desperate, but
1t is the strength of the game. Sum
marry in haste, and then sit down
and think it carefully over. Sum

Their wearer dropped into a chair,

"Reckon ye done heered bout

ayes, she is topable young, is sis

She looked up quickly, but
catching an expression of disap-
proval on the mistress's face she
cast her eyes again upon the floor.
"The wust on it is" continued
she, che amt got a cent, nor he
can't make one, nuther."
"Why did you let your daughter

"Well, he come a-dawldlin'

"Not earn any moreW cried the
mistress, incredulously. "What is
the matter that he can't work and
support your daughter properlyW
Mrs. Spriggle pushed back her
bonnet and crossed her knees be-.
fore she answered. Then she shook
her head mournfully.

"till they was done married, as how
he'd nary gun at alI-nothin' but a

OF disgust, "he's the powerfullest
no-account critter ye ever did see."
"You must feel badly to let your
daughter go away with such a
man."
"Oh, law, she amt gone! Did
we think he had ary house to put
her in? Why? don't ye know?
They's alvin to home with me-"
This amazing piece of intelli-
gence nearly took away the mis-
tress's breath. Before she could re-
ply Mrs. Spriggle continued
"Whaps dds did! 'Fain't no

"But how could you let her mar

"But,n said the mistress, "it

Mrs. Spriggle's face, which had
frightened slightly, took on a
gloomier hue, and she pulled the
black bonnet down over it.n
"Thats so," she assented, tear

other day, he was invited to dinner,
and Won Sauerkraut called through
the telephone which connects his
private dwelling, No. 1179 Los An

office: "Mine Katrina, Mr.. Swiney

Mrs. Goldstein, who keeps a
poultry store on Main street, hav-
ing occasion to 60 out for a little
while, inadvertently left the key
in the door of the back room, In
which she keeps several valuables.
Although she was only gone few
minutes, she found, upon her re.
turn, that some audacious scoun-
drel had profited by her absence to
enter the room and steal lady's
satchel, containing two two twenty
dollar pieces and about sixteen dol
lars in silver. Suspicion rests upon
an individual who had been loiter-
ing about, and the police will prob
ably nab him, although, under the
circumstances, it is difficult job to
fasten the robbery upon anyone, as
none saw the deed and the stolen
objects consist in coin.
Last night a valuable horse be-
longing to Mr.. Botiller was stolen
by Mexican named Aseveda near
Rubio's place, San Pedro street. He
was caught, however, and held by
two men while another went for
the police. Officer McFadden
started down in a buggy to arrest
him, but before his arrival Asave-
da managed to get away on horse
back. He was Immediately pur-
sued by Mr.. Marcos Olivera,
mounted on very valuable
horse. On the road Aseve-
da's horse slipped and fell,
and no sooner was he down than
the horse thief shot at Mr.. Olivera
and killed his horse outright. Oil
vera returned the fire and hit
Aseveda in the thigh, breaking it.
The scoundre, was then arrested
without trouble and brought to Jail
and at last accouats was very sick.
The San Bernardino Valley
Inder says bears have been quite
troublesome to the residents of
Yucaipe Canon for some time past,
robbing bee hives and committing
other depredstions. The inhabi-
tants have been on the alert for
them, but as their visits have gen.
orally occurred in the night, and
with no regularity, various devises
have been resorted to for their cap
ture. A few evenings ago bear
robbed two hives of bees near the
residence of Birch Brothers. A
piece of meat, seasoned with
strychnine, was placed in con-
place on Monday morning
last; the carcass of bruin was found
in a stream of water a short dis
tance away. 1t was female bear,
and weighed when dressed, $50
pounds. Two balls were found in
the body which had evidently been
there some time. The hide was
brought to town aud sold to King
Bros.
