Hick's Floral Guide.

We have received from James Wick,
Rochester, \. y, his Floral Guide,
which in beauty of appearance and con-
venience arrangement surpasscs any
anything in this line which we have
ever had the privilege Of seeing before.
1t is pamphlet eight by ten inches in
size, and with the covers. which are by
no means the least important part Of it,
contains an even one hundred pages
Although called a "horal guide" it is
devoted 10 vegetables as well, and in
cludes as full a list and description of
both flowers, vegetables and also small
fruits as could be brought within the
compass of q book of this size.
In all that the Nicks have under
taken their aim seems to have been to
attain as near to absolute perfection as
possible, and probably no one ever did
so much towards bringing the cultiva-
ton of flowers to the high standard
which it has now attained as did the
head of the firm.
We advise I'LL our readers to send 10
cents for the GUIDE (which can be de-
Quoted from first order); and if there
are any of our lady friends who can
succeed in growing a natural rose
| which will compare in beauty with the
New Striped Rose shown in the illustra-
ton, we should like to receive an invi-
taticn to call and see it.

A Horrible Tragedy.

On last Saturday fternoon James B.
Clary, farmer, who lives five miles
from Newberry, seems to have deter
mined to kill his whole family, con-
sisting of a wife, two sons and 4 daugh-
ter.
For some time he had been drinking
very hard and is said to have suffered
from deliriatn tremenS, and no doubt
on this occasion was craZed from
drink.
It is said that he first made an assault
on his daughter, young lady about IS
wears old and undertook to take her
life, but was thwarted in the at
tempt.
Some of the neighbors were sent for
as a protection to the family, and while
all were sitting quietly in the room
Clary picked up a small axe and gave
his wife three severe blows on the head
leaving her in an unconscious condi-
ton. 1t was done before those who
were present could interfere.
Mrs. Clary was pretty badly hurt
but may recover. Yesterday she was
thought to be somewhat better, though
not as we'll as the day before.
Sheriff Riser went up Saturday night
and brought Clary to Jail where he now
is. He did not fully realize, it seems,
what he had done until Monday. When
he did, of course he greatly regretted it,
and said be would not have done it for
any amount.
All day Sunday those who saw him in
Jail say that his mind was not right. It
was only about two years ago that,
when in one Of these fits of madness,
be shot his little son.
1t is dreadful affair and greatly to
be regretted. No other explanation
than that his mind was crazed from
drink can explain the awful tragedy.

Notos from Excelsicr.

Mrs. A. NJ. Counts has been suffering
with very sore hand.
Owing to the mild weather some of
our early gardeners have been sowing
the seed.
Mr.. J. H. Dominick, has new
boarder at his house and one that will
likely cast a vote at the ballot box in
the course Of twenty-one years.
More farm work has been done in
this community during the month of
January than has been done for sew
eral years past. Our farmers are al
ways on time and we wish them one
and all successful crop year.
Miss Leila Mates after spending sew
eral days with relatives and friends at
Newberry returned home again on last
Saturday.
We are sorry to learn that Mrs.
Adam Hartman, of Mt. Pilgrim COM
munlty, is confined to her room very
i'll.
Rev. c. A. Marks, of Prosperity,
visited amongst his members in this
community on last Saturday. We re-
gret to learn that Rev. Marks contem-
plates leaving Prosperity at an early
day, and wherever his lot may be cast
the best wishes of his many friends
here will accompany him.
The grain crops in this community
seem to have better appearance since
the refreshing showers of rain, howev-
er, the present prospect for good crops
OF grain in this neighborhood are
rather discouraging. The recent cold
wave is certainly great assistance to
grain, especially where insects are play
ing their wild W ork.
A large number of the Alliance
Farmers IN this community have al
ready received their fertilizers. We
would say to our Alliance friends, stick
together you are working for a good
cause and in your own interest too.

An Early Morning Fire.

About half past three o'clock on
Tuesday morning the brick kitchen to
the Newbcrry Hotel was discovered to
be on fire. The alarm was given, but
before the fire department got there the
kitchen was so far consumed that moth
ing could be done for it. The fire was
eXtinguished and no further damage
was done, except some slight burning
of the doors and windows Of the hotel
facing towards the kitchen. The hose
was run through the hotel building,
and some little damage was done to
some of the furniture of Mr.. Blanton.
Very few people knew Of the fire, and
only small proportion Of the members
Of the fire company was out. There
seems to be something wrong with the
fire alarm bell \ new bell was put up
not long since, but if it was rung at all
ca Tuesday morning, even those who
live near by and We're awake at the
time failed TO hear it. We understand
that the council is now looking into
this matter, and we hope by the time
we have another fire it will be so fixed
that the alarm can be given and heard.
The council has ordered 500 feet Of
new hose. The engine was repaired
not long ago and we believe this is the
first time its service has been demand
ed since, and it did very poor work
this time, and gave out or broke down
lust about the time the fire was under
control.
The council some time ago submitted
the question of exchanging this engine
for larger one to a citizens meeting,
but it was thought by the citizens that
the engine was sufficient. 1t we were
to have first class fire, if the work of
the engine Tuesday morning is an in
dication of what it can do, it would be
demonstrated that it does not meet the
requirements Of the case.
The fire originated, possibly from the
stove f1ue. The Hotel belongs to Pool
and Schumpert, and the loss is fully
covered by insurance in the agencies
of S. P. Boozer & Son and J. y. Burton.

COLUMBIA, Feb. 10.-Momentous
news! Watch Port Royal. Col. r. 4.
Johnson, general manager OF the Three
C's Road, with DR.. J. G. Black, of the
directory, is in Columbia toni ght for
the purpose of arranging with the con-
tractors for the building Of the New
berry and Augusta branch Of the great
road he represents He told repre-
sentative Of the News and Courier, at
II o'clock tonight, that the contract
for the completion of that branch from
, Blacksburg to Newberry would be Civ
en- out as soon as possible, and that the
first forty-five miles would be COM
pleted within eight months, and the
whole line within eighteen months.
Contractors are here conferring with
him.
But the most important news is this:
Col. johnson says that a strong pres
sure is being brought to bear upon his
company to run this so-caled Augusta
branch from Newberry to Port Royal,
instead Of to Augusta, and that it is
very probable that this will be done.
The Appletons, who own great deal
of property at Port Royal, have offered
the most liberal inducements to the
management to make that harbor their
seaboard terminus.
Col. Johnson argues that by running
his line to Port Royal he would secure
practically all of its business, while by
directing it to Charleston he would
have to divide freights with the South
Carolina Railway. He thinks it GER
tain that harbor like Port Royal can
not be much longer neglected, and that
his line might as we'll be the first to
possess it. He does not tell what has
been decided upon, but he talks enthu-
siastically about Port Royal. Watch
that bottled port!

Beginning Work for the Clemson College
Fasley Messenpe I

Easley Messenger
While on flying visit over to Cen
trail one day last week we had the plea
sure of meeting Col. r. E. Bowen, who
had just returned from Fort Hill,
where be had attended the meeting of
the executive committee of Clemson
College, of which he is a member. The
meeting of the committee was for the
purpose of looking over the property,
selecting sites for the buildings, and
ascertaining generally the best mode of
procedure in the building Of the col
lege and structures, and also to decide
upon plans and specifications, etc.
The State will furnish fifty convicts
to work in the preparation Of the planta-
ton and houses. 1t was found that the
lumber and brick could be obtained on
the property.
A committee of three will be sent to
Mississippi to examine and ascertain
the methods of the management Of the
Agricultural Collegein that State.
The next meeting of the committee
will be held at Pendleton.
The Colonel informed US that in look
ing over the register at Fort Hill he
found that between 1900 and 1000
people had visited that noted and hon
ored old place since July last.

"the fruits of the field"
A citizen of this village held his
breath in suspense last Friday night
when he heard the Laurens passenger
engine blow for the crossing from New
berry, because heavy Mogul engine
with six driving wheels, had also left
Helena for New berry. The two trains
were rushing towards each other, and
would possibly reach the sharp curve
before they were aware Of their danger!
Fortunately that prudent runner, Mr..
Hammond, held the throttle of the up
train. The danger was seen in time
and averted by both engines. The
freight engineer applied the air-brakes
to his big coal-burning engine and
reversed it's movement. En- gineer Ham
mond stopped bis train and red cam
die was thrown upon the track in its
rear. 1t was a perilous moment! To
think that the devoted "little Laurens,n -
on its own schedule to minute, should
be rushing all unconsciously upon a
heavy freight on the down-grade, and
both trains approaching a curve. The
mishap was caused by the inadver-
tence of the freight conductor, who
had looked upon the wrong page of
the register, that Of the night before,
we are told. It was deplorable mis-
take for him, for he had but recent
ly been promoted. External vigilance
is the price of safety'-on a railroad.
