DEC. l7,-Yesterday we had the pleasure
of attending meeting of The Broad river
Academy s. S., where we met quite num-
Der of our most earnest and enthusiastic
christian workers. This is one OF the ban
ner schools, Of York county. 1t is a Union
School, Mr.. J. r. Howe, the Supcrint endent
is an elder in the Presbyterian church. Mr..
w. S. Wilkerson, the principal teacher is a
Steward in the Methodist church, and Mr..
J. Scott Cobb the Secretary is leading
member Of the Hickory Grove Baptist church
They have about 20 scholars OH The roll and
generally full attendance. We find parents
there with their whole families, something
not very customary in the average Sabbath
School in the country.
One of the most astounding assertions we
have heard came from Bible reader the
other day, who said: Jacob bought his
brother Essus birthright with mess OF
"partridges' and another equally so, was
that Baptism wasn't Sacrament, exactly.
What is II then, bro'her?
Where ignorance is bliss,
'Tis folly to be wise.
The visiting season is at hand, and almost
everybody has trip laid out TO take during
the holidays.
Nos, of the cotton sginned and marketed.
Tho boat that is TO run from the Dar-
win place TO Lockhart Shoals has been
launchedi t has not yet been rugged up for
business. The engine three horse power
will be here i'll few days; and then look
out.
Broad river was very high last Wednes-
day and Thursday. The fiat ut IIowelrs
ferry was caught on dry land us the river
fell, and it took good many hands to get
it back into the water
Dr. w. J. Douglass, Of Asbury, paid us
social visit last Friday. He is great gun.
ner, and hardly ever fails te get game when
he ehoots.
The boys have had lively time rabbit
hunting this fall during the high water, last
week the rabbits were run out to the hills,
and the men, boys and dogs had much fun
catching them.
We notice that our Auditors Ad says he
will finish up his work on The 30th of Feb
ruary, 1880 If those printer boys don't
mind how they handle their types, they will
get into scrape. They frequently make us
misspell words-and we don't like 1t BIT.
Since the death Of State constable j. T.
Latimer, some people have been having big
talk. They perhaps have never read Esops
fables Of the wolf AMI the goat. The dis.
pensary law is here to stay, gentlemen, and
the sooner ne quit anIagonizing it the better
il will be for all. Quit drnking whiskey
is the best way to defeat it legally.
With this issue we close our work for the
TINES this year. And it is right and proper
that we thank the editor, readers and COR
respondents and printers for their manifold
cOurtesies shown us during the year. In
trying to help the paper, we only ask it's
friends to take our intention for our action.
How far we have succeeded or fallen
short in the work, we are willing for gener-
Gus intelligent public to decide.
For our former Editor, the voL cradle Mr.
Stokes, we have The profOunde,t respect, land
shall ever remember him for his generous
consideration Of our imperfecii1ns, as we'll
as his fa'her'y advice during the years we
have beon working for the people of Union
county; and especially North Paeo!et.
For the present Editor, Mr.. Crudup, We
are indebted for many favors 100, during the
time he has been presiding over the columns
Of this paper. We commeni him for the
strenuous efforts he has made to give the
people Of Union caunty first class rpper,
and we rel oice at his success
To our readers and brother corresp on iepts
VIC are very grateful for ,heir kind consid-
