A Costly Chicken.

Henry Smith, colored, of this town, last
Friday Shot and killed q chicken belonging
to Lydia Peterson. The owner Of the
chicken sent word to Smith that she would
not prosecute him if he would pay her
twenty-five cents the value Of the fowl.
This Smith Indignantly refused to 90, de-
nying that he shot the chicken. Lydia then
went to Trial Justice Hmmons, who issued
a warrant for Smiths arrest, and Saturday
he was arrested and tried. The jury failed
to agree. Another jury was empanelled,
and they found him guilty, whereupon the
court sentenced him to pay a fine of ten
dollars or take twenty days in Jail. After
much menta! suffering and earnest and
fearful pleadings Smiths employer paid the
ten dollars and he was once more free
citizen.
This chicken racket proved very expen'
sive to Smith. He not only had to pay the
county ten dollars but also paid the town
one dollar for violating the shooting ordi:
nance. Besides he employed lawyer and
had him to pay 70.
Hereafter Smith will not undertake to ply
his trade in broad open daylight, but will
wait until there is more darkness than light
and will use instruments less noisy than
shot gun.

Chitchat from FOreStOn.

FoREsroS, April IA day or SO
ago a long, lank looking man with
book and pencil in hand, and two
negroes with tape line were seen
measuring the railroad. A gentleman
inquired of another if he knew what
they were doing. He replied he sup
posed they were measuring the track
to ascertain if there had been any ex-
pansion or contraction in the iron.
Another gentleman thought it more
likely the fellow was arelative of some
official in position where there was
no use for him, and he was sent out
for fear he would lose his honorable
position. Another party thought
they would serve the patrons of the
road, and the ladies particularly, if
they had put the man and the two
coons to work on a room suitable for
ladies to enter at the depot while wait
ing on trains. There is only one
common room, open to all classes,
dogs, and other animals, and as the
Charleston train passes after dark and
often an hour late, LADY passengers
have to sit in the dark without even q
lamp to give them light, and if cold
no fire, and often have to inhale the
perfumes of an old sinking pipe. If
we had Railroad Commissioners who
had any ability above drawing their
salary, they would force the company
to have suitable accommodations.
There has been lumber for new
depot piled on the siding for over
two years. 1t is supposed they are
waiting for it to rot, so they can order
a duplicate from their favorite saw
mill.
As Chicago is buying up all the
curiosities for the Columbia Exposi-
ton I think a big deal could be made
with them in selling the depot at For
eston. It certainly would be great
curiosity coming from so large rail
road syndicate as the Atlantic Coast
Line.
A Santeeian was in our town this
week, and had crowd round him.
He was blowing on the fertility of the
soil in his locality. An old Forestonian
came up and inquired what was the
excitement. On being informed he
replied if the gentleman thought he
could make as much cotton per acre
as the Foreston land, and could ac-
complish it, he could get fifty acres of
the best land round here. The man
hung his head, and the last heard Of
was making for Santee. You know,
Mr.. Editor, it is acknowledged all
round that we can make more corn
per acre than any section in Clarec-
don, and we intend to make more
cotton per acre than any other sec
ton. If we don't we will make for
Santee swamp, and live on bear
meat. NJ. o.

Don't be Gloomy.

Those who are the victims of mer-
curial poisoning, or who are suffering
from mercurial rheumatism, are in
clined to take a gloomy view Of life
when, as the poet says, "Winter is
folding its white tents and spring get
ting its thunderstorms together" Yet
these victims have no reason to de-
spair. S. S. S. is a sure remedy fol
all forms of mercurial poisoning.
Though it is purely vegetable med
icine, it is powerful, Indeed, when
called on to chase mercury, and the
last lingering effects Of mercury, out
OF the system. It performs the work
with neatness and dispatch, as thous'
ands of testimonials show.

Mrs. E. C. Alsbrook last Friday
closed her school which she had been
teaching during the past five months
at Big Branch Academy. An exhlbl-
ton consisting of vocal and instru-
mental music, recitations, dialogues,
charades, and calisthenic drill had
been prepared for Friday evening,
but owing to the inclemency OF the
weather the entertainment was post
poned.
Mr.. John P. Bell, Of this place, who
a month ago was married to Miss
Theresa Anderson, was indicted last
week upon affidavit OF Mr.. B. F. Gibbs,
for abduction, but before prelimina-
ry examination was held, the case by
consent of the prosecutor was discon-
tinued upon Mr.. Bell paying the costs.
Miss Anderson was under sixteen
years of age, and while she willingly
married Mr.. Bell, yet the law says
when the lady is under sixteen years
of age it is abduction. The young
couple were somewhat scared, but are
again peacefully happy in each others
love.

Easter Service in the Methodist Church.

The Methodist church never looked love
lier than it did in its Easter robes on last
Sunday morning. The floral decorations
were of the choicest and rarest kind: The
altar rail was beautifully festooned with
evergreens and flowers; potted plants were
set here and there; lovely callas lifted their
stately heads from beds of ivy. The pres
ence of evergreens and hot. house flowers in
every nook and corner was suggestive OF the
Land CT Flowers.
But amidst all this loyeliness the things
of beauty were to be seen in the crosses,
one at each side of the chancel and the
third just back of the pulpit They were
beautifully trimmed with evergreens, eal!a
lilies, and other hot-house blooms. There
was nothing in the whole arrangement that
the most fastidious could have criticised.
There was large attendance at the ser
vices, and the sermon by DR.. Stokes was
one of his best. His subject was the Resur'
rection. at the close collection was taken
for the Scarritt training school for mission
orioc

ger up from Glendive yesterday on
No. 3, reports that while the train was
making a short stop at Merrill station
a passenger gathered his luggage and
got IA. This i'm itself was not "a
worthy Of notice A. the fact that the
man on slighting struck out for the
open country in a direction In which
there is no hAbitation. After gaining
q good offlng, the stranger stood com-
posedly and allowed the train In mil
out without ever making an attempt
to get aboard again. Perhaps even
this conduct may fail to strike the
reader a. being unusual, but when II
is disclosed that the stranger who left
the train at an obscure station between
here and Giendive was the possessor
Of through ticket to Portland Ore, Il
must be admitted that his conduct in
dicated that he did not know what he
