We learn from Mr.. J. D. Weeks, OF
Fulton, that Messrs. Samuel Harvin
and John Brown, of the Packsville
neighborhood, are quite i'll. It is to
be hoped they may soon recover. We
gather also from Mr.. Weeks, that his

nication from our Fulton correspond

publication. Next week a prominent

Married at mood, to-day, at the res
idepce OF the brides father, Mr. Geo.
H. Huggins of Manning, to Miss Lima

sunshine and happiness that ever fell
to the lot of mortal. May their Bark

A thief invaded the premises of Mr..
A Weinberg Friday night, and was
bearing away on bis shoulders, a bag
of corn, VIXEN he was espied by Mrs
Stern, neighbor, who gave the alarm.
The rogue escaped, but left the corn.
The longevity Of women, says the
Raleigh Fleming FlsitoT, who are for
tunate enough to marry soldiers, is
shown by the fact that our pension
rolls bear the names of about 10000
widows Of the veterans Of 1872. The
brides OF Il years ago arc nearly cen

With his usual active energy, Mr..
Loyns bas filed his large brick store
with a choice stock of merchandise.
His polite, clever clerks, CONSPICUOUS
among whom are Messrs. Jno. c. Bag

opportunity to convince purchasers
that Loyns' is the place to buy first

about Z o'clock in the evening, to en-

ful recreation AS yet no step has
been taken in this direction. Be kind
and generous, gentlemen, to your en-
ployes; shut up stores and allow them
a little while for pleasure.
During the past week Messrs. Say
ford and Taylor, the distinguished re-
vivalists, whose success in Charleston
was almost phenominal, have been
conducting series of meetings IN

this field; there is little doubt but
that the seed sown by such spiritual
apostles will grow harvest Of grace.
