A Trial Justice Without Peer.

Newberry County has a trial justice
who advertises that he will for the
term of one year attend to all busi-
ness intrusted to him, free OF charge
in the shape cf fees or otherwise. He
has been squire and justice for some
twenty years, during which time there
was one appeal from his court, which
he promptly ''refused to grant" He
has never had the highest regard for
lawyers or book law, but following the
lead OF his own common sense, he has
settled many difficulties, and has been
a kind of oracle for his neighborhood.
He now proposes to do free ''trial JUS
ticing'' that the people OF his town
ship may not fall into the hands OF in
experienced or oppressive officers.

A Blaze in Newberry.

The Pratt building occupied by DIR. l..
A. East rs drug store was destroyed
by fire Tuesday night. The attention
of Mr.. Pat. Duckett who was returning,
alta late hour, arrested by smoke gush-
ing from all the chimneys. He then
discovered the fire, which had made
little headway, in the cellar, near the
front of the building. The flames
spread rapidly and soon enveloped
the store.
The building was insured with
Messrs. Glenn d Pool, in the Home
Co., New York, for $4,000, and the
counters and shelving, in the same
company, for $400. The building must
have been worth at least $500.
DR.. East saved nothing. His stock
and fixtures were covered by insurance
of $4,000. The stock was insured with
Messrs. Mower & Jones, in the Imperi-
al and the German American, each.
$1.250; also, with Mr.. F. Werber, Jr..
in the British American Assurance
Company, for 5000. The fixtures were
insured with Mr.. F. Werber, Jr., in
the Merchants, Newark, n. j.. fol
$500; and the safe. with same agent,
in the British American Assurance Co.
for 800. DR.. East's loss was about
covered.
The building belonged to the two
Pratt children, who, with their mother,
Priscilla Johnson, occupied the second
story. The family made a narrow
escape, and saved nothing except two
or three small articles Of furniture
This loss was not covered by insurance
With the greatest difficulty Mrs.
Mowers store Just across the street
was prevented from igniting. The fire
damaged this building by breaking
glass and melting the cornice. Loss
covered by insurance.
Yesterday morning the front wal
fell and crushed to the ground Willie
Cannon, colored. His head was badly
skinned, and he was seriously but, ii
is thought, not fatally hurt.
So the fire fiend has taken another
huge dose of medicine Strange tc
say, the agent of the LaFrance Fire
Engine Company was in town for the
purpose Of exhibiting the workings OF
an engine. The hose and reel hat
arrived, and the engine and engineer
were expected. The fire came as
telling argument in favor of the pur
chase of an engine.

Crop Prospects.

A visit to the country last week con-
vinced us that the prospects OF the
grain crop are more discouraging than
they have been reported. The cotton
was planted late, and the unfav0rable
weather has not so much affected it.
The wheat is more promising than the
oats, but it will not bear comparison
with last years crop. AS rule, the
heads are short and small. The oats
sown in the spring, and unfortunately
most OF them were sown in the spring,
have been kept back by the dry, windy
weather, and in many places they will
hardly grow high enough for harvest
ing, if it remains dry few days longer.
AS usual fall oats are somewhat better
than spring oats. Corn is backward,
and many planters have been prevent
ed by the dry weather from planting
their bottom lands. Altogether, the
farmers have found this spring most
unfavorable. But we hope that good
rains will give better crops than pres
ent indications seem to promise.

In the Baptist Sunday school last
Sunday a committee appointed the
Sunday before offered the following
paper which was adopted: y
a Memorial.
Charles D. Wright, who died at his
home in this place May 9th, 1888, in
the twentieth year OF his age, was from
his childhood member OF the New
berry Baptist Sunday school, and the
surviving members of the school would
hereby I,lace on record some express
ion OF their appreciation OF his worth
and their sense of loss in his death.
Quiet and retiring in his manners
but firm and conscientious in the main
tenance of what he believed to be right,
our young friend and comrade was
highly esteemed by those who knew
him. Free from the vices and frivoli-
ties of youth and patient amidst great
suffering, he has left us the heritage OF
a stainless name and an inspiring
example whose eXcellences, we trust,
God may help us to emulate. We
sincerely hope the loss of one so young,
so pious, so promising, may serve to
arouse us all to a more diligent dis
charge OF our duty and to the cultiya-
ton of every Christian grace.
To the bereaved family we offer our
heartfelt sympathy and the assurance
of our earnest prayers for the presence
of the Divine Comforter in their sad
dened home.

The negroes to whom it belonged, be-

promptly killed the chick, and then des-
patched the hen that hatchedit, feeling
sure that the devil had been playing

A Sociable Social.

A merry party gathered at the Fe-
male Academy last Friday evening for
the annual Social. This social enter
tainment is always pleasant because
the young ladies are delightfully."- socia-
ble-so much so that we are tempted
to call it a sociable entertainment.
For, without an agreeable sociability
among the young ladies, the social
features OF the entertainment would
be marred; and in order to be really
pleasant, such an entertainment must
have both social and sociable qualities.
