nu mber of trades were made. John Bar
leycorn was in evidence to some extent;
but did not make himself especially an
moving. There was only one arrest during

Runs His Farm With Corn.
Mr.. w, A. Barron, of Ebenezer town.
ship, is one ofthe largest and most success
full farmers of York county. He raises
large quantities OF wheat, oats and cotton,
and each year anywhere from l,5OO to
, 600 bushels OF corn. And he makes
remarkable use of his corn crop. Most
big farmers have more or less corn to buy.
He always has it to sell, and some years
his sales run up considerably over 500
bushels. BY his corn sales last year, he
realized enough cash to pay the running
expenses of big plantation. That looks
like farming.
Coming to York.
Winnsboro News and Herald: Mr.. w.
+. Jackson has arranged to move near
Tir zah, in York county, and will 60 about
the 18th of December if his arrangements
are sufficiently perfected. Fairfield re-
prets to lose Mr.. Jackson. He was a true
soldier and is good citizen. During the
war Mr.. Jackson was wounded on the
kneecap and the recovery, without ampu-
tation. of such wound is very rare. We
remember hearing one OF the prominent
physicians of our town say that there was
only one other case reported in the medi-
cal iournals-that of soldier in the Crl-
mean war; Almost invariably, when the
kneecs D is pierced or shattered, the limb
has TO be removed but in this case it was
not.
MIR. Dyes Resignation.
TIE ENoUIRER made mention OF MIR.
Dyes resignation as member OF the
board Of dSpensary control at the timethe
RESIGNATION was handed in. There was no
reporter present at the meeting at which
Mr.. Dive resigned, and we were unable to
state the reason for his action. We have
recently learned the particulars. MIR. Dye
is the superintendent of a Sunday-school,
and after a great deal of reflection, he
came to the conclusion that this position is
somewhat incompatible with the office OF
ofthe dispe nsary. He felt
that it was his duty to resign one or the
other of the positions, and finally decided
to give up the dispensary.
Death of Mrs. Cody.
Mrs. Ann Cody, wife Of Mr.. A. Cody,
died at her home in Yorkville last Satur-
day morning at about = O'Clock. Her death
was the result of her recent adventure with
a COW, reported in THE ENQUIRER of last
Friday. At first it was tn ought that the
injuries inflicted by the cow were not
serious. No bones were broken, and there
were no severe bruises. Mrs. Cody was
not strong, physically, however, and
shortly after the accident, she was attack
ed by a nervous chill. This was followed
by other chills in rapid succession. The
chlls proved too much for her constitution
and death followed as stated. Mrs. Cody
was the oldest daughter ofthe late Thomas
and was married to Mr.. Cody
on February %, 1859. At the time of her
death, she was in the 56th year of her age.
She leaves husband, one son, and six
