A Charleston correspondent of
the Sunday Register says:
1t is not generally known even
in Charleston, but Joe. Chiffon, the
very picture of health, apparently
the most vigorous of the Chiffon
brothers, is in miserably poor
health. During the early fall he
had serious attack of fever, from
which it was feared for time be
might not recover, and since that
time he has never regained his
former vigor. His many friends
throughout the State hope that
there is nothing permanent about
his affection and that he will soon
regain his former very excellent
health.

Pleasant During the New Year.
Lets all begin in the New Year
to force to the front the betterment
of our town. The question will be
asked, how can VIC do this? Don't
sit down on the store boxes and la
ment the dullness of the times, but
get right up, hustle around and
make circumstances and don't wait
for those.you cannot control; don't
grumbIe ut what you can't help; do
what you can; don't belittle the eff
forts of your neighbor in-his work
for Point Pleasant, but get right in
with your coat off and help to move
the wheel of progress; say at all
times truthfully a good word for
your town; don't say this and that
thing is failure; often You thought
lessly do much damage and retard
the work being done by the thought
ful men at the helm who are striv-
ing to steer US off the sand bar in
the river of advancement we have
struck; hundreds of thousands of
dollars required to build and sus-
tain industrial plants cannot be
picked up in the woods, nor can it
be Theoretically drawn out of the
capitalists pockets. They are mat
ter-of fact-men generally who de
mand demonstration of the fact that
money is hidden in the plans and
purposes you offer them; SO by your
moral support you can help those
at work for our town. Now let's
give that support by not finding
fault and grumbling at matters we
do not understand and have not
taken the time nor the trouble to
investigate.

A little gem was held up to the
light, worked with the head OF Q
pin. It was a circle eight inches IN
diameter. In this was q figure
with drapery, form and position to
be whirled round and round, so ar
ranged as to appear in endless flight
in space. In answer to the ques-
ton whether the brush was ever
used as we'll as the chisel, deft
fingers pointed to pictures on the
wall, which were then examined.
The knowledge which Miss Lander
possesses is certainly from the in
spiration of natural genius. It must
be inborn; it could not be other
wise. About to leave, after q most
entertaining and instructive hour,
two photographs were presented OF
Virginia Dare, from the statue by
Miss Lander, which could not have
been placed in hands more reluct-
antly to be surrendered.
| The height of the original statue
is five feet four inches. Miss Dickens
writes of her great father that he
would become so involved in bis
own characters as to be perceptibly
| affected by them. Miss Lander's

that of the affection of mother fol

SENATOR BUTLER, of South Caro-
lima, has come out strongly in favor
of the free coinage of silver, but,
like ourselves, is willing to compro-
mise on the repeal of the 10 per cent
bank tax. Gen. Butler was formerly
not in favor of free silver. And we
suppose that he sees now the oppor-
tunity of the South to gain State
banks, and.that he proposes to stand
firmly for free silver, expecting that
those who have apprehensions about
the result of silver purchases will
prefer State bank notes to that al
legged danger. In other words, he
is fighting for an adjustment that
may be of great advantage to his
people without inficting any dam
age on the North.
