Johnston Circuit Quarterly.
The Rev. W. A. Rogers requests US tc
announce that the Quarterly Conference
for Johnston Circuit has been postponed
until February 18th and 10Th. It will be

Presence of Mind.
When little disturbance (whiskey !,
arose in the anti-stock law meeting on
Monday last, the Hon. Scott Allen jumped
to his feet and made such good. honest,
cornmon-sense appeal 10 all parties, that
everything was as quiet as lamb in five
minutes.
Three New Trial Justices.

following excellent gentlemen as Trial
Justices for Edgefeld County; and the
Senate has confirmed the appointments:

he denies the report, and says that he
contemplates retiring to private life upon

Join the hissers. for we have too much re-
spect for the gentleman; but still we fail
to see the hole in solid old Edgefeld
through which all good things are coon to
drop and disappear forever.
A Little Apology.
Our readers must pardon us this week
for omitting our usual summary Of Legis-
lative news, and for the non-appearance
OF sundry other things, We were so ez-
ercised about our friends at Johnston on
Tuesday that we were forced to post down
to see how it was with them. And hence
We lost half day from our routine labor.
The Legislature is to adjourn on Thursday
Of this week; and consequently we can
make clean sweep Of their doings IN our
next issue.
Tiiiman's Heroic Remedy.
This prevalence OF rant obtains in the
House as well as in the Senate, and Rep
resentative Tillman, who abhors the daily
twaddle, proposes heroic remedy. He
is Of opinion that the Congressional Rec
ord should be abolished, the members
desks and chairs tabooed, and that the
congressman be required to sit on benches
