Mr.. H. NJ. Sing!ey lMid) a we'll
known farmer near here, on friday
evening, received severe stroke OF
paralysis from which he will probably
not recover. Paralysis seems t" be
hereditary in the Singley family.
John NJ. Schumpert, OF Mt. Pilgrim,
is attending the keely Institute at Co.
lumbia with great beneficial results.
There is a man in this place, who is
so religious that he will not take his
mail from the post office on Sunday,
neither will he ride on 4 Sunday train
or hire horse and buggy on Sunday,
vet this same man never loses ali OPP
portunity to advocate the election OF a
man to the highest office IN the gift OF
the people who has said that he ''fea:.d
neither Gcd or man." who has SAID
that he would rather 20 to he'll Wl'h
certain people than to heaven with
others, who publicly says he makes NJ,
pretentions to religion whatever, and
who does not hesitate to use the most
blasphemous language in the presence
of ladies and before public audiences.
O tempora. 0 mOres!! "WheH the
wicked rule the people mourn" Much
greater is their mourning when they,
the people, pla"e the wicked in rulers
seats.

The closing exercises Of Prosperity

Welch, of Houston, Texas, will proba-
bly deliver the annual address on the

1t is now almost a settled fact that
our merchants will not close their
stores at 6 O'Clock, p. H., as has been
customary here for number OF years
during the dull hot season. Why this
change has come over the employers,
and this feeling towards employees is
so strangely manifested this correspon-
dent does not pretend to say. There
is, however, one thing which he will
say, and that is, that rents are no
higher, tom tdrey are no higher, sala-
ries are no higher than heretofore, and
further, that the employees have given
as good service as ever they gave, or as
was demanded of them. When cities
like Columbia, wLere taxes, salaries,
and everything else is high, can give
their clerks an hour of recreation every
evening, I cannot see why our mer-
chants should withhold this boon from
their employees. 1t must be borne in
mind, however, that all of them were
not opposed to giving the usual time
to the employees. would emphasize
and impress one truth upon our mer-
chants-one truth that they cannot
efface or change by any twisting or
contortions, and that truth is, "all
work aud no play makes Jack a dull
boy" Simple, gentlemen, simple, but
Just as certain as young man has
physical nature. Beware Of too
strong desire for gain. 1t is snare to
entrap the unwary. The boys are not
happy and serene, and am sorry for
