years ago, while he was living at Rosehill,
Sumter County, his wife, while engaged
in sewing, broke aneedle and thoughtlessly
threw the head part on the floor, where his
two-year-old daughter, Tillic, was playing.
A few minutes later she thought of her
little child, and, fearing she might get hold
of the broken needle, began TO look for it,
but in vain. a few days afterwards the
little child was seized with gripping pain in
the stomach, but supposing she had collie,
the usual remedies for such were applied.
She got better and no more was thought of
the matter. About ten days ago Tillie
now about ten years old, complained of q
pain.in her arm, and upon it being barred,
the upper part of broken needle, partly
rusty, was found projecting from the flesh.
Remembering the occurrence of eight years
ago, lie at once accounted for the needle
being in her arm.-iNanning Times.
Can any of our readers give sound and
logical reason why so many good and hon
est people take offence when asked to settle
an overdue account ? Is it because they
regard 'dun" as reflection upon their
honesty? or because they naturally dislike
to meet their just obligations? How are
creditors ever to get their dues from their
debtors without sending out bills, state
mcnts, "duns?" Must they wait indefi-
'nitely the pleasure of those whom they
have indulged and never claim their own
Can any one furnish Hform" for 'dun"
which will not give offence and yet be
effectual in bringing in the money? If he
can, we doubt not our Publishers will
exchange years subscription to the 4ddro-
cate for the use of this happy discovery

Information was received on yesterday
that the meeting of the stockholders of the
Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago
railroad company which was to have been
held at Greenwood to-day, has been post
poned until further notice. This action
has been taken in consequence of an effort
that is being made to unite the separate
sections of the road upon plan for its COM
pletion. 1t appears from the communion
ton received, that negotiations are pending
that promise well. Time is essential TO
develop these. Hence the delay. OF course
we are unable to say whether the hope will
be realized. But certain it is that there is
ground for the friends of the road toindulge
the hope that they will yet see it built

On Thursday afternoon last our enterpris-
ing young friend, little Johnny Turnbull,
son of Mr.. William Turnbull, instigated
by spirit Of Investigation, applied o
match to a so-called empty twenty-five
pound can of powder, which had been
thrown out from his fathers store, just to
see if all the powder had been sold; to his
great surprise lie soon found out that
enough had been left in it to take the skin
from his face and nearly blow out his eyes.
Fortunately for Johnny, the amount of
powder left sticking to the sides Of the can
was very small, or he never would have
been spared to furnish any more locals for
the Aiken Recorder. This is the young
gentleman who short time since fell head
foremost into cask of water and nearly
got drowned.-Aikcn Recorder, 24M Instant
On Friday night. last the house of Bill
Grafton, colored, who lives near the Old
Wells, was destroyed by fire. His son
Charlie, cighten years of age, asleep at the
time, was burned up, US also his daughter
Lula, fourteen years of age, and colored
man, who lived near Williston, s. G. The
father only escaped by ti;c cracking or
bursting of mirror which stood near the
head of his bed, the noise Of which awoke
him. In the house at the time was abont
fifty dollars in money and it is surmised
that probably robbery preceded the fire.

A horse trade was effected in Lancaster
the other day, in which quarter was the
amount of boot agreed upon. When the
party, however, who was to paralyze his
purse by such heavy drausht upon it,
went to aise the boot he found his pocket
empty, and in lieu of the twenty five cents
offered to feed the other mans horse before
he left town. Such heavy business trans
actions don't often disturb Lancasters
eouilibrium.-. Lancaster Revic,c.
