said:

puzzled to improve the orthography, but

said:
"If you don't fix that sign all the
school children will be laughing at

There was another convention of the
family to see where the mistake came
in, and the sign was made to read: "Fur

an old cOlored man came along and
queried:

is to abolish factions in New York and
to have one grand, united. harmonious

BISHOP ]. B. THOMPSON, of the South

ly maintains that any. man, white or col

provided he attends to bis own business

THERE is a groundless prejudice in
the minds of the people against rounds
and in favor of sirlOins and tenderloins
in beef, and the discrimination is so
great that difference Of 25@40 per ct.
in prices is cheerfully paid. In good
beef there is nothing better than the
first few inches of rounds, eliminating
the "tough streak" and inability to make
this as good as any other part Of the
beef only shows lack of skill or expert
ence on the part of the cook. The round
should be cut nearly or quite an inch in
thickness, should be well pounded with
a meat mahgler, put into hot. butter
ed skillet, and fried as quickly as pOssi-
Bile, seasoning thoroughly while cooking.
If the meat-plate has meanwhile been
in the oven, with butter melting on it,
and the steak is served on this and eat
en- while hot, you have dish fit for =
king. Any cook knows that q round
will make better gravy than loin steak.
but this should always be served on q
dish.-Pittsburgh Stockmsn.

THE wool market moves along almost
as quietly and steadily as though prices
were fixed by law, there having been no
luctuation of any consequence for two
or three months. II wool must sell at
low figures, it is certainly good thing
to have them firm that all may know
what to depend on. The greatest COM
fort to be derived from the present sit
uation is that the movement is more free
than it has been for months, preventing
the probability of increased accumula-
ton of stock in the hands Of holders.
Wool is not, however, maintaining Its
relative value with other farm products,
an anomalous state of things which it is
difficult to accept with sa1sfaetion.-

National Surgical Institute.

One of the Surgeons Of this old and
notable Institute will visit Newberry
S. c.. May 9Th. 1881, stopping at the
Simmons House.
The. object of this visit is to give the
afflicted an opportunity for examination
at or near their homes, thus saving
hopeless cases the expense Of a trip to
Atlanta. A careful examination will
be made, and patients can learn if their
cases are durable or can be benefited,
and whether it will be necessary for
them 10 visit the Institute. In such
cases as can be cured, or treatment
begun at home, arrangements can be
made with our visiting Surgeon, and
treatment commenced at once.
Cases of Deformities and Chronic
Diseases will be examined, such as
Club Feet, Diseases of the Hip. Spine
and Joints. Paralysis, Piles, Fistula'
Catarrh, Female and Private Diseases
and Diseases of the. Eye, Ear, etc.
e Come early, as the visit is linz
tied to the time stated. For cjr, 3

The Town Election

The Town Election
Came off the 18th instant, and passed
of quietly. The municipal campaign
was short: but long enough to engen-
der some bad feeling, which we hope
will not last. The injection of the ques-
ton Of negro representation was unfor-
tnnate. The result showed that it was
a big mistake. whether done as mat
ter of policy or of justice. The negroes
went into the first convention and
clamored for representation on the Pool
ticket; they didn't get it. and bolted IN
high dudgeon. They went to the sec
ond convention. and were allowed 4 re-
preventative on the Carlisle ticket The
presum ption was that this act would Sc
cure the negro vote for the Carlisle tick
ct. But it didn't. The negroes went
squarely back on the ticket. They took
off the negro on the Carlisle ticket,
scratched Mr.. Langford from the Pool
ticket, substituted the negro in his place,
and voted the Pool ticket straight with
the exception of this change. This is
apparent from a reference to the votes
cast.
There were 450 votes cast; l3O
straights for the Carlisle ticket; ia tor
the Pool ticket; 146 scratched tickets.
The votes stood:
