One day last week Mr.. ]. II. Shelton, of

the woods near by. He did not return and
his friends made search for him and
found him late yesterday evening hanging
to limb of tree. He had hung himself
with plow line. His father died about
two months ago and since then his mind
has been wavering.-Co Columbia Register, 10Th.

Section 1926 of the Revised Statutes
says: Every mercantile partnership in
this State, in addition to proper or con-
spicuous sign board or plate containing the
name and style of the firm, shall post up
and keep posted up in some conspicuous
place at the business stand and stands Of
the firm the given and surname of each
member of the firm, under pain, in case of
default, of being sued and proceeded against
without naming the individual members of
the firm, and also of forfeiting and paying
individually and each the sum of fifty
dollars to any one who shall sue for the
same for each and every month they shall
make such default as aforesaid. Any per-
son conducting any business as agent shall
post up and keep posted in like manner the
name of his other principal under the like
penalty. On more than one occasion
throughout the State considerable litigation
has been created from q failure of business
houses to comply with the requirements of
this law. How many business houses in
the State meet this demand of the law is
hard 10 say, but we think we are safe in
saying that it is a very small minority

Some of the citizens about Danvillo,
Oconee County, desire to know what course
they had best take to rid their settlement of
some Mormon priests, who it seems arc
industriously engaged in propagating their
doctrines in that section. Our information
is that they have gained few ccuycrts and
seemed to be encouraged The summary
process of violence has been used with COM
plete success In several portions of the
State, but this should not be resorted 10,
for citizens have no right to take the law
into their own hands except to prevent
felony These priests would not stay long
in place unless they met with some
encouragement. But if they or any of
their converts violate the law by practicing
in the polygamy department of the Mormon
faith, then every obstacle between such
offenders and the State penitentiary is re-
moved. The easiest and surest way for the
citizens of Danvillc to ascertain their legal
rights in the matter is to find out precisely
what the Mormons are doing, and report
the same to some member Of tho grand
Jury, who will bring the matter to the at
tention of the court. Whel Solicitor Orr
finds out what man is doing in commu-
nifty, and the effect of his deeds, if the
statutes furnish the peg he will soon sus-
pend m.-Halhala Courier, Ilarch 6.
Last Friday Mr.. II. II. Evans picked up
queer looking parcel lying just under the
freight depot platform, within a few feet of
the railroad track. The or4er covering was
stiff pasteboard, Of dark color. This he
cut off with knife, and inside found a
glass ball, about half the size of hens
egg, set into piece of wood, and fastened
to it by O cloth strip, glued on. Attached
to this was string. Inside the glass ball
was liquid of some sort, almost colorless
and apparently little thicker than water.
Mr.. Evans brought the thing over to town
and showed it to several persons, among
them q druggist; and all united in the
opinion, though none knew positively,
that it was nitro glyccrinc. This disclos-
urc mada Mr.. Evans little nervous, and
he was anxious to get rid of it. lie offered
it to the druggist; but lie yelled, "Take it
out" He then offered it as a present to
some OF his friends; but they declined
with thanks. Then lie wanted the Mayor
to take charge OF it; but the Mayor said he
didn't want to blow up anything. Mr..
Evans, holding the thing very gingerly,
started in brisk walk for Scott's creek.
Reaching Il point West Of the railroad cul.
vert, where the stream is deepest, he gently
deposited the "infernal machine in the
water and broke for the depot as fast as his
legs would carry him. There is no theory
as to who put the thing where it was found
or what purpose it was intended to serve

Friday night last Mr.. Gideon Sauls left
his home, situated between Gillisonvillc
and Hennis's Cross Roads, for the purpose
of attending to some business at Coosa-
watchie, and was detained all night. The
only parties left on his place were his wife
and a colored boy aged about seventeen
years During the night, and while asleep,
Mrs. Sauls was awakened by severe blow
on the head. AS she arose she was struck
