done right, and therefore satisfactory to

Something decidedly new in the line OF
artistic entertainment will be offered the
citizens Of Anderson Wednesday evening,
February l,t., when Miss Adelaide West
cott, Of Nav York city, will render her
dramatic monologue, "Switzerland," an
entertaining comedy in four parts, with
three principal among minor characters,
with the novelty that one person does it
| all. Miss Westcott comes to Anderson
very highly recon- mended, and those who
go out to hear her may expect pleasant
evenings entertainment.
Every lire in newspaper costs some
thing If it is for the benefit of an indi-
vidual it should be paid for. If the grocer
.ere asked to contribute groceries to one
abundantly able to pay for them he would
refuse. The proprietor of q newspaper
must pay kor the free advertising if the
beneficiary does not, and yet it is ono OF
the hardest things to be learned by many
that newspaper has space in its columns
to rent aud must rent to live. To give
away or rent for any thing less than living
rates would be as certainly fatal as for q
landlord to furnish house rent free.
Bor.telle johnson and Boss Worden,
are two colored rogues that will not prac-
tice their light. fingered tricks any more
for month. They were convicted before
Mayor Tofly last week of slipping in
backyards and stealing clothing and en-
( tering front piazzas and doors and appro.
priating ove,coats, cloaks and such arti.
ces as they might find there, and the
Mayor taught the scamps lesson by SEN
fencing them to pay fine of Sis each or
work on the streets thirty days. AS they
had no money they are serving their SELL
tences. People may save themselves
trouble from such thieving by keeping
their front doors locked from twilight, as
that is not foo early for auch pilterers to
be about. The police captured the above
mentioned rogues and it was very skill
fully done.
