ed to announce what her many friends here
will also gladly learn, that Mrs. Jane Kerr, OF
Spartanburg, is hopeful of securing at an early

THE TOWN ELECTION.

Although the time for the annual municipal
election for the town of Yorkville is near at
hand, the date being only a week from to-mor-
row, there is so little interest, apparently, felt
upon the subject that not even a ticket has yet
been publicly announced.

TRIALS OF A TRIAL JUsTICE.-Our
readers will remember that some months
ago considerable dissatisfaction was crea-
ted in the Feasteryille neighborhood at
the action of trial justice Shields Gladney
in disinterring the body of a negro (Who
had been dead over a month"; and holding
an inquest. The county commissioners
went before trial justice Cathcart on Sat
urday, the 18th, and indicted him for off,
cial misconduct. The grand jury also
looked into the matter and found a true
bill against Mr.. Gladney: He,, however,
did not appear for trial when his case was
called, SO the sheriff went and brought
him before the court. In the meantime
the court of sessions had adjourned: The
Judge, however, bound him over to ap-
pear at the next term of court in the sum
of $500. Mr.. Gladney went home ostensi-
bly, to secure bondsmen. but not returning,
the sheriff again went for him and lodged
him in jail on Thursday night. On Friday
Mr.. Gladnes gave the required bond and
was released Wnns5oro News, Saturday.

A Dream of Fair Women.

Tennyson in his exquisite poem. dreams of
long procession of lovely women OF ages
past. This is all very well, but the laureats
would have done the world greater service IL
he had only told the women of the present
how they could improve their health and en-
nance their charms. This he might easily have
done by recommending the use of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. Health is the best
friend of beauty, and the innumerable ills to
which women are peculiarly subject, its worst
enemies. Long experience has proven that
the health OF womankind and the "Favorite
prescription" walk hand in hand and are in
separable. 1t ia the only medicine for women,
from the manufacturers, that II will give sat.
lsfaction in every case, or money will be re-
funded. This guarantee has been printed on
the botte-wrapper, and faithfully carried out
for many years.

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation
while lying down; to breath freely, sleep
soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed,
head clear brain active and free from pain or
ache; to know that no poisonous, putrid mat
ter defiles the breath and rots away the dell
cate machinery OF smell, taste and hearing; to
feel that the system does not, through its
veins and arteries, suck up the olson that is
sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed a
blessing beyond all other human enjoyments.
To purchase immunity from such fate should
be the object of all afflicted. But those who
have tried many remedies and physicians de.
spair of relief or cure.

In the possession of Felix, the son Of
IgnsZ Mosoheles. the eminent composer
and most trusted friend OF MendelssOhn.
These letters, which are unusually init
mate and personal In tone, were recent
ly placed In the hands OF William f.
Apthorp, the we'll known musical critic,
and from them he has made JudiciOus
and entertaining selection. He has
welded them with brief commentary,
which throws light on the various sllu-
sions in the correspondence. The first
article is literally illustrated with pOr-
traits Of Mendelssohn and his family, Of
Moscheles, and with reproductions Of
several drawings by Mendelssohn. The

THAT CAPITOL CRACK.

The following communication with
the signature attached has been sent to
this Office from Austin. This Journal
while disolsiming all responsibility for
the matter contained in the communies-,
ton. deems the statements OF sufficient
general concern to make them public.
The communication is addressed as
follows.
Mr.. EDITOR: The facts related In my
communication were stated to me by
one of the draughtsmen present, and this
gentleman, being himself a well eduoat-
ed architect from Breslsu, the capital OF
SILICA, lis more competent Judge OF
building matters than the so called
"cspitol board"
Yours respectfully
g. WTTTMoRE.
THAT OMNIBUS CRACK
In the arch of the capitol building in
Austin, IS getting ahead OF Contractor
Wilkes calculation by some months.
Two years ago, when the draughts-
men were making the drawings OF the
paris of castings for the dome OF the
capitol, Mr.. Wilkie ordered them to dis
card, or leave out a tier OF the heavy,
ornameDted braces Of the lower part OF
the dome.
Objections being raised to this order,
by the draughtsmei,, Wilkle said:
"Tbrow them out, I must make on this
building an extra two hundred thousand
dollars and that is the only way | can do
It,"
Being told that 1t would be unsafe, al
low the bottom OF toe dome to spread.
force the walls out and make the whole
dome collapse.
"Well," said MIR. Wilkie, 81 don't care,
1t will stand until we get 1t out Of our
hands, and then let 1t collapse as soon
as IL will"
M. Z Roberts will very likely see the
day yet, when bis three million acre
building will collapse. and Texas will
have the most magnificent ruin OF mod
ern times.
But Texas need not mind, II she gets
ahead Of Uncle Sam In the Greer county
matter, she will be able to squaDder a
few more millions of acres on another
luDatio asylum. g. WITTMoRE.
