Newsy Notes from River Side.

I RIVER SIDI, Feb. 2G.-Since our last
writing, We are proud to be able to boast OF
at least one happy man On River Side, that
| Of hr. W. NJ. Palmer, who has the dis.
tinguished hsnor Of being the father Of
twin boys. Mr.. Palmer will not railroad
it this year, lie thinks it necessary to
raise hog aud hsminy, for the present at
! east.
The bigssst snow that has fallen for years
visited this county on Thursday last. 1t
measured about II inches deep here, and
| patches under the trees and on steep north
srn hillsides are still lingering, and per-
h"Ps waiting for more. Sewing oats was
being pushed on very hard wien tho bad
weathesr set in, but is now at q stand still.
The farming classos are determined 70
live more economical this year, If possible,
than ever. There is one item Of no small
Importance, that every tiller Of the soil
ought to consider when he sets cut to u.e
economy; that is time, preciou, time. We
have seen people who would split trade
for nicklo, but would not hesitate to loaf.
day after day, at the cross road store. That
is poor 's"n0mY' in our judgment.
We are reliably informed that the hot
supper at New Hope Church was financial
success the clear profits amounting to
scventy-five dollars. This amount goes
toward building r new house Of worship at
that place. The Faster in charge, Rev. D.
p. Boyd, is the chairman Of tho building
committee, which is a guarantee Of its sue
cess. We lock forward to good things On
this circuit for the year 1889.
The work on the Baptist Church, Philippi,
will begin soon. Messrs. Foster e. Tinsley,
Of Unian, are the contractors. The Bap-
lists are a working people, and deserving Of
great success.
The Sunday Schools at Wesley Chapel and
Philippi, arc alive and at work, in spite Of
bad weather and muddy roads.
We have net seen our TIMES for last week.
and in consequence, feel at less how to
write We hope to feel more like writing
after the lapse Of another week.

A WORD IN SEAsoN.-The Pee Dee IndeI
quotes rs follows from tho Cheraw Reporter:
We were pleased last week to see Captain
James o. Ladd, our former postmaster, in
town. Captain Ladd has been keeping
books for Chicago firm for the last year or
SO. II Cheraw is to have q change Of post
master during the coming ADMINISTRATION,
We feel confident that the people Of Chersw
would prefer Captain Lsdd to any one else.
Thereon the Index says:
We notice THAT not q word, save an al
lusion 10 the Feasibility ofa change, in the
nttsranee Of the Reporter refers to the eff
-v1snt- -gsntloman and good DsDocrst now
holding the Office. Without once consider
ing the possibility and perhaps the probsbil-
ity Of the retention of efficient and non-psr-
tisan Office holders In the South by Hsr-
rison, the editor begins to sing tho praises
Of Captain J. y. Lsdd, who for thirteen
years held Office under the Republicans.
Many think it highly probable that Harri-
son will attempt TO break the solid Dems-
cratic South by retaining the efficient Demo-
Gratis in office, thus making these Offices a
prize to be sought, irrespective Of party.
II this is 10 be his policy, it is undoubtedly
bad policy for US to suggest or inaugurato
the removal OF our own men. In the case
IN question il does not appear that Ladd has
even so much 40 asked for the place. he
wants larger and sweetsr plum than that,
rs shown by the filing Of his nomination for
United States Marshal for this State. 1t
may be we'll 10 warn our Democratic friends
against signing any petitions for Republicans
to succeed Democrats. There are yet no
vacancies, and there may be none, unless
our people give excuse for them by petition
praying for the appointment of Republicans
in place of Demscrsts already in office
Our advice 10 to 60 slow until VIC know vha
is to be the policy OF the osming administra
or whether might is to rule right.
Whilst The Register d does not think il wortl
while for any Dsmscrat to encourage th'
hope Of retaining Office under Harrison, WI
yet heartily agree with the Inder that
wears on its face an unseemly assiduity fo
Democrats to be bringing their advice to th'
new administration 9s to the filling Of tn
places now held by good Democratic officials

The Snow Storm at the Seminary.

The snow wa, most welcome visitor Il
the pupils Of Clifford Seminary. They
could not claim kin.hip with it, but they
were allowed, nevertheless, to receive it
with open arms. Ts those young Ladies
from the lower section Of tho State such q
snow was n great novelty; but they; with
tho others. were not slow in finding out the
pleasures of snow balling, and for an hour
or two the flescy missiles were flying through
the air, sometime, hitting, but ofteuor miss
ing widely, the mark.
All seemed to enjoy the sport, excepting
one stately figure that became very con-
spieuous. She stood quiet in the midst of
oil the excitement; no challenge from large
or small was accepted, and no shout Of joy
could induce hsrts take q hand in the fun
She remained in quiet dignity, her shawl
folded closely around her, and her hat
firmly fixed on her head.
The irreveren, small boy on the outside Of
the fence threw snow balls at her, but she
did not reply by word or ball. Ssme
thought she was very indiscreet to be out
in the snow in = white dress Elderly gen
tlemen, who have long since passed the . re
Of such fun as throwing snow, were glad to
see one disnifsd young lady in the crowd
and lifted their hats in appreciation of rare
excellency. Young men returning home
from town smiled and bowed at her-ths
Principal was in the house, and rs she did
not turn her head she certainly did not dis
approve of it. But evidently she enjoyed
the snow, for she was the last one seen on
the campus, and the fret one out next morn
ing-in the same place, and with the same
quiet dignity-and there shcis ut the pres

And so mischief, friendly interest, and
appreciation and galantory were all lest, as
they so often arc.

which one Of them the figure WAS taken to
be. 1t had larg. green eyes, fat nose,
and very wide mouth. And not one will

Even this frail hope'is new removed. From

that tho Standard Oil Company has purcha,-

thus virtually removing it from the field MS

TO express an opinion held that this means
more eItrsvassnt prices next season than
