DIR. h. Smith is on the sick list.
The merchants have had a good
trade this week.
Tom PeeIer, ST., a well-known
and deserving negro blacksmith OF
this city, died last Monday, of fiux.
He enjoyed the respect OF both black
and white.
NECESSITY is the mother of in
vention" Hard times make low
prices. Our merchants have all re-
duced the prices on their goods, and
are really, without any equivocation,
offering great bargains for cash. In
this way they are selling about as
many goods as they used to sell at the
old prices.
Decidedly the loveliest horse shoe
we have ever seen, we found orna-
menting our table last Tuesday. 1t
was horse shoe of rare and beauti-
full flowers, from the Columbia
Greenhouse, arranged by Mrs. d. e.
Dortch, with her usual exquisite taste.
FlOwers-and such fiOwers,-on a
bleak November day, are as rare as
they are beautiful, and their sweet
perfume seem to give warmth to
the room; certainly cheer to the
spirits. We return our sincere
thanks to Mrs. Dortch.
Speaking of scoops" how about
the announcements on our second page
of the Columbia Driving Park meet
ing next fall. Six days of races, and
one hundred thousand dollars hung
up.

Cook & Moore have enlarged
their "territory." In connection
with their grocery house they have
started a first class meat shop. Mr..
J. P. Baugh has the management of
this department, and is thoroughly
competent and very accommodating
man. When Cook & Moore under

they authorize us to say that their
customers can at any time get fresh
oysters, country sausage, etc.

Bill Nye is a walking encyclOpe-
dia of fun, and will make you forget
all the ills and trouble OF life fer two
sold hours. The. pathetic selections
of Mr.. Burbank blend admirably with
the drOll humOr of Nye, and between
these two kings of entertainment the
spectator is kept in laughter or tears
throughout the entire evening. 1t
was happy idea, joining these two
famous mOnOlogists together, and
whoever misses seeing and hearing
them next Thursday night will throw
away the opportunity of a lifetime.
Scrap from Bill Nye's note book /:
"In 1854 he graduated from the farm
and began the study of law. He did
not advance very rapidly in this pro-
fession, failing several times in his
examination and giving bonds for his
appearance at the next term of court.
He was, however, a close student OF
political economy and studied per
sOnal economy. at the same time, till
he found that he could easily live on
ten cents a day and his relatives. ="
Mrs. DIR. Williamson, of Gull
Ieoka, improves slowly.
Perhaps we have remarked be-
fore, if we have it will bear repetition,
that Culleoka has greater number oil
first class newspaper correspondents
than any village of its size in the
state. Verna V!lliers "went and got
married." Barbara is off on visit,
but Betsy, comes to the front this
week Just as smiling and graceful as
if she was used to it every week.
Eli Harris and family, of God
win, have gone to Chicala, Ark, to
! live.
We regret it very much, but
Darby's letter from Lipscomb, owing
to some fault in the malls, did not
reach this office until Thursday at
ternoon at O'Clock, and for that rea-
son could not be published.
