The following good advice from The
Darlington Republican is applicable
to every city and village throughout
the country: There are too many
small boys running our streets after
nightfaIl. 1t is the very worst place
for a boy to be. Parents should see
that their children are furnished with
reading of a wholesome kind, and
some innocent games, and then love
for home and that which is good early
in life be instilled into their minds, and
they will grow up better qualified for
the duties of life, than if they are
allowed to take all their lessons on the
| streets,

ing, of Seymour, went to kendaltoWn
last Friday to procure Il load of wood,
and while hauling it on the sleigh, he
was taken suddenly with sort of an

Mr.. SNYDER, who discovered Mr.. Elem

in restoring him to consciousness. We
understand Mr.. +. is convalescing

though at moderate figures later on.
! The tobacco trade East, he reports
as very duh, and the new crop in
any of the eastern states not moving
to any great extent. He expects to

To say that the audience We're
