Dead Fal or String Town Ghost Story.

AS the most of our friends have never
heard of the story, we will try to tell it,
and try to stick as close to the truth as
circumstances will permit. Doubtless
the many readers of this county know
the parties we shall mention, and also
the place. Deadfall is the place; or
rather that is the ancient name, but the
rising generation have given it the
name of String Town. Well, the story
goes, that there was ghost to be seen
at the old Deadfall every night, there
was no one living there at the time)
and various were the tales as to what
was seen and heard. So Frank NJ,
Dan L. and Newt B, with his
little son Lawrence, made up party
of investigation. Frank M, armed
with pitchfork. assured the party of
no danger as he was medium and
could materialize the ghost, but as it
turned out, things materialiZed too
well. When the party got on the spot
and was walking around the house to
the we'll, every one stopped. Frank
called for bis spirits and they came too
quick. The party got scared and start
| ed to run, some going on one side OF
| the house, some on the other, and all
getting around about the same time,
and seeing each other, every fellow
thought it was The ghost and they broke
off in every direction. Frank NJ. hap
pened to start across the old field, and
making speed that would astonish
Maud S. Nobody ever did know where
he took up at, but he got home next
morning all scratched up, no hat, and
that pitchfork never has been found,
and be never has explained to the sat-
isfaction Of the women why he never
got home any sooner; and Newt B.,
poor fellow, got the worst flight OF all;
| when he started to run his little son
grabbed him by the coat tail and Newt
! thought it was the ghost, and he spread
himself with the boy holding on for
his life, not wanting to be left. Now
there was short turn in the road, and
! when Newt made the turn his coattore
out, and when the boy saw he was left
he began to yell, and that only made
the old man get better. and every few
steps he would call OUT to Moliie, his
wife, to open the door. He soon got
home, and the little fellow came along
after awhile, but the old man was too
scared to let him in for good while.
Dan L. being young and active, he just
cleaned up everything. He got on a
regular stampede with hat in hand,
and an Indian war-whoop every few
jumps; he left everything. Dan had a
cap box in his pocket with only few
caps in it, and every jump the caps
would rattle and Dan would run the
harder, until he ran himself down, and
for long time, if you would rattle a
cap box Dan would start up and look
for the ghost. None of the party ever
knew what startled them that night,
but some people say it was only a cat
fight. Any way, since the Smith Man
nfacturing Company has been there the
little Smiths have scared away all the
ghosts. #*#

a Newberry SURVEILLANCE Resolve.

Whereas an unfortunate controversy
has arisen between our friend and fel-
low citizen, Col. Ellison S. Keitt, and
the IGNORED President Of our State
Alliance, DR.. J. VIM. Stokes; we deem
it proper 10 express ourselves as foi-
lows:
Pcso7ued 1st, That Col. keitt does not
express our sentiments or opinions.
RcS07C9d md, That we deem Presidear
Stokes true and honorable brother
and officer, true to the best interest of
the Alliance, his constituents, his State
and his country, worthy and competent
to serve US in the highest positions of
honor and trust.
Resolred 3rd, That we deem the
attack upon our United States Senator
elect, }. l.. NJ. Irby, unkind, unwarrant-
able.
We further say that if there be due
any consideration or charity toward a
reformed brother, that Col. Irby de-
serves the greatest consideration for bis
model life and sobriety during the last
six years. 'ris hero who conquers
self.
Pcso1ced 4th, That we do not approve
of the third party scheme, but we be-
lieve all needed reform can be accomp-
lished through the present political
parties whose bedrock principles were,
originally, the true interests Of the peo-
pie and OF the Republic.
Again we have 20 guarantee that the
third party would not 60 astray as the
others have. and be untrue to Alliance
principles, we strive for reform not
renewal, preservation not obliteration.

Death of Little Henry Paul lobe!

Henry Paul, the youngest child of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Zobel, died Tues
day morning, February 9th, in the
10Th year of his age.
For twelve or fourteen years he knew
nothing Of earth's scenes Of joy and
sorrow; neither Of its temptations and
waywardness.
Only in the opening hours and days
Of infancy that linked two brief years
together did the beautiful light Of day
and the eudearments Of home shine
upon and torch the glimmerlng con-
sciousneSs OI babyhood.
There was no rift in the cloud of that
little life, so soon and SO darkly
Swallowed.
But the vail is now drawn, and he
has entered the presence of the Great
Physician and the company OF minis
tering spirits,
The ears are upstopped, the lips no
longer sealed, and the eyes, 10 I'll in
tents sightless here, have opened upon
the tremulous light Of love and to the
iris of heaven!
The little body is at tranquil rest
within the bosom of mother earth. The
whispering voices of the vesper winds
shall be its lullaby; whilst not an atom
Of the fragile form, in dissolution, shall
he lost in the Weeks, months and sea-
sons that may elapse before the Crea-
tive Voice of the Lord Of the Resurrec-
ton shall reinvest it with the invisible
yet indestructible mind and soul now
so beautifully clothed upon with the
habilamentS Of Paradise.

principal Of Prosperity High School.
His resignation has been accepted by
the Board of Trustees. Prof. Dreher
goes with the best wishes of all our
people to the Lone Star State, where
ever so many of our young men have

Helena HeraldinSS.

The Helena Sunday school rarely
fails to remember the Clinton Orphan
age in an annual contribution. y few
days ago the secretary, Mr.. Julien, sent
its little free-will and votive offering
Sl075. This amount, though not great,
was given willingly; moreover, the
school has been reduced in the past few
years by removals from the village.
About forty children have gone to
make their homes elsewhere, and their
places have not yet been supplied.
We have alluded to this matter not
for the purpose Of parading it, but
simply for the purpose Of exciting in
terest and sympathy in and with the
noble institution Sc very near us, and
which draws its maintenance for sweet
charity's sake, so largely from abroad.
There are about one hundred orphans
in the Clinton Orphanage, and it takes
dollars by the thousand to feed, clothe,
and shelter these little boys and girls;
to light up and give warmth to their
rooms; and to supply them with books
and stationary, etc, together with
medicines and medical attention when
needed.
Mr.. Jacobs is welded to this work Of
love, and is making q beautiful home
for the children-a home ofretineHlent
and culture and care, and likewise Of
earnest practicability. The discipline,
education and training at the Orphan
age prepares Thoughtful, self-reliant,
self-respecting and selfdenying boys
and girls for the battle of life.
To further equip them as bread
winners, Mr.. Jacobs will erect tech
biological school in addition to the other
buildings.
The possibilities of the Clinton Or
nhanage are not limited. We hope the
Eastertide offerings will be generous.
How sad it is to see the daily page of
self-Gestruction. To read Of the mourn
fuI procession Of those who, weary Of
life, are going down beneath the Pluto
nian shadows Of despair. What is the
cause--or what are the causes? OF one
thing We are quite certain, and that is,
Implicit belief in the providences of
his general and spe-
cial prOvideuce--would lead to more
hopeful and brighter lives. We would
live more for others and less for our
selves. The affections would be cherish
ed and passion give place to patience.
Then would there be more Of self-con-
troll, sympathy, mercy and magma
nimity. Tongues and tempers con-
trolled would lead to new truths and
beauties in social and ethical life. Nor
dare we disbelieve Gods permissive
providence. Care, suffering, adversely
and consequent self-denia!, are essen
tial to a rounded, quiet and an unob-
truSive life that will await the grand
secret and the mystery that envirohs it.

il Test Case.

4. NJ. bowers & Co., have instituted
proceedings against the town Of New
berry 70 recover the 500 charged for
license over and above the license last
year. The case will be heard before
Trial Justice Maybin on next Monday.
The plaintiffs are represented by john
stone and Cromer, and the town by
Geo. S. Mower, Esq. The council gave
notice in an ordinance that the license
for retailing liquor would be four hun
dred dollars. On the night that the
licenses were to be granted the council
determined to raise the license to $5Gn
and did raise it. All the barroms paid
the additional 800, but claim to have
paid under protest. The question now
comes up on the legality OF the action
of council in raising the license. 1t in
wolves about 5000 revenue to the town
this year.
