The Phoenix Iron Works at Columbia,

best and most reliable manufactures OF the

Our young friend Gaillard Brown has
been placed in charge of the office of the
Western Union Telegraph Company at
Greenville. His principal duty will be TO
receive the press dispatches, and will no
doubt evince as high degree of proficiency
in this Office as he has in ell Others he has
filled. The people Of Greenville will lind
him exceedingly polite and ACCOMMODATING
under all circumstances.
Here is what the Atlanta (Ga.) Const't''-
tion saws on the subject of round dances:
"a Young man watched the waltzes at
certain dancing school for some time last
night, and then asked somebody to tell hlm
why it was that the young ladies who sub
mitted to hugging in public would not per-
NIT it in private. whereupon bright fellow
remarked that that had not been his expe-
rience." Food for thought!
The announcement made last week that
there would be an excursion from Green
Vile to Cincinnati on the occasion of the
meeting of the National Democratic Con-
vention for SIG was, we have been in
formed, q mistake. The excursion IS from
Atlanta Ca, and not from Greenville.
The announcement was made on informa-
ton received from private letter from
gentleman of the last named city, and
which we had every reason to believe was
entirely trustworthy. We propose by our
next issue to have all the particulars of the
matter that can possibly be obtained, which
will be given the public through our col
umns.
Mr.. j. S. Murray, Jr., who has been en-
gagged since September last as principal OF a
fiourishing school at West Springs, Union
County, is now at home, where ne will
remain for some time He graduated
in Furman University two years ago with
the degree of A. NJ. the highest degree the
University could confer, and has since been
applying himself assiduously to the study
of the languages, and by dint of energy and
perseverance, strengthened by a laudable
ambition, has familiarized himself with
nine distinct languages besides that of his
mother tongue. It is not often that We find
young man in this day and generation
who places as high an estimate on educa-
ton as does Mr.. Murray, and who is will
ing to make every other object subserve this
end.
The article in our last issue on the sub
iect of Means Grass" from the pen of an
esteemed correspondent, seems to have at
tracted considerable attention, and We are
right glad that it has. From specimens OF
the grass left in our Office, we are inclined
to think it would be found very valuable
by our farmers as forage, suitable especial
ly for feeding to stock in a green state. 1t
will grow and flourish on ordinary land,
and can be cut down three or four times in
one season, and, as for cultivation, it re-
quires nothing but the sowing. Our cor
respondent justly cautions his brother far
mers about devoting any considerable
amount of land to its cultivation, as it is
likely to monopolize in future the ground
on which it is sown. But with proper eau
ton we see no reason why every farmer
might not devote at least from a half an
acre to an acre of ground to its cultivation
without allowing it to spread to other por-
tions of the farm.
