ance, abstract of land tTtles, collection,
loans, and conveyancing business, and
will open their office in the Bettingen
building, corner of Court and Second
streets. Both are young men, well and
favorably known IN this community.
Mr.. Dufur is the present incumbent
lin the recorders chair, and his ability
as a type writer and business man is
sufficiently known in this community
to need no further comment or recon-
mendation.
Mr.. Fred d. Hill, is the ex-oficial
stenographer and typewriter for the
government at the Pine Ridge Indian
Agency, and he is a pronounced expert
stenographer and typewriter, having
recommendations from some of the lead
ing men of the United States.
This firm will endeavor to conduct
their business on fair and square basis,
and all matters entrusted to them will
receive prompt and instant attention.
These young men deserve a share of
the public patronage in their line of
business, and we have no doubt but
that they will make a grand success of
their new undertaking, as such busi-
ness as they intend to engage in will be
great benefit to the business man and
lawyer of this country. They have our
best wishes in their new enterprise.

We Were Fairly In 1t.

There is scarcity of local news that
amounts almost to famine. We havel
perambulated the streets with as much
speed as our distrust of the slippery
sidewalks and our combination of ach-
ing joints would permit; but the har-
vest was small and the grain withered.
Concerning those came sore joints, we
might add, "thereby hangs tsle.'
As-we left home this mop6ing in the
proud consciousness that we were pretty
well up In the world, we paused mo-
mont at the head of the stairs leading up
the bluff from Laughlin street, while we
cast our poetical eye, and slso its prose
fellow, over the city, lying so peacefully
below, with some parts of it sticking out
through the sheets of snow, it's only COW
ering, and then we started down that
long fight of stairs. Like the launch
ing of the ship, we started slowly, dig
nifiedly, but in an 1nguarded moment we
gathered an accelerated momentum,
which, commencing with our feet, soon
made itself felt in the shape of thrill
along our editorial keel, as it were. Our
right foot slid outward and upward tow
ards the proposed boat railway, while
the left, with few spasmodic gyratlons,
struggled toward Crates point. Owing
to this sudden freak upon the part of
our hitherto steady and reliable feet,
our legs were not long enough to reach
from our body to the steps, and the at
traction of gravitation taking advan-
tage of the situation, brought us in
media res, 80 to speak, in contact with
the stairs. Then our feet started in a
mad race for the bottom, the balance of
our system making strenuous efforts to
keep up with them, while our coccyx
brought tears to our eyes as it grabbed
frantically at the rough edge of each
step as we slid over it.
To our excited imagination the sound
reminded us of the early days of our
childhood, when we used to sit on the
shady side of the kitchen on Saturd ay
afternoons, in the summer. time, while
our good old grandmother put our soli-
tary pair OF pants through the washtub,
SO that we might get to Sunday school
the next day. It sounded exactly like
it-did then when one of the few buttons
we had neglected to remove, struck the
washboard.
We managed to check up at the first
landing, having traversed, by actual
count, twenty-six steps on the down
ward path. Fortunately our pants were
not torn, SO that we did not have to lose
time while they were being mended.
Broken bones, bruised flesh and lacer-
ated feelings will heal themselves in
time, but Cleveland badge once al
lowed to invade the bosom of the edito-
rial trouserloons is there forever. Hence
we rejoice at our lucky escape.

A Real Social.

One of the most pleasant events of the
season was the social given by\ the
Christian Endeavor Society of the Con
gregational church, at the old Irvine
place, now the residence of J. H. Phir-
man, three miles below town. Several
large sleighs full of pleasure seekers left
the Congregational church about 8
O'Clock, while other parties went in their
own conveyances. The house was
crowded with people, all of whom seemed
to be having a splendid time. Old
fashioned games were played and every
one entered into the festivities with zest.
After sumptuous refreshments the merry
household dispersed and the sleighs sped
homeward over the frozen snow, while
the jingle of the bells and the songs of
youth made merry music all the way.
The Umzoree Social club was out in full
force and made enough noise to almost
raise the dead. The net receipts were
something over 500.

A Peculiar Case.

From the Glacier we learn of a trial
held in Baldwin precinct which is
unique. 1t seems that a man named
Fredenburg bought a farm at sheriff's
sale, on which another man named
Francisco was living. Fredenburg noti-
fed Francisco that three months rent
was due, amounting to $l2, and this not
being paid, Francisco WAS arrested for
trespass. At the trial the state was rep
resented by George Wishart, the defense
by John Dimmick, and the defendant
was fined $15, and in default of payment
was sentenced to seven days in jail.
Owing to the deep snow the prisoner
was kept by the constable for week.
at last it was decided to start to The
Dalles. A box was mounted on pair of
snowshoes and Francisco was mounted
on the box. Constable Mckinney, L.
Tomilson and j. Wishart acted in the
capacity OF reindeer or horses and pro-
ceeded to draw this oddly constructed
sled. After travelling few miles in this
manner they abandoned their sled and
put the prisoner on horse and pro-
ceeded to Hood River.
1t seems every time the sled tipped the
least bit, Francisco would roll off in the
snow and lay there until they picked
him up and placed him on the seat in
this novel cutter. After a while this
got to be tiresome, and they concluded
they could travel with more speed and
less trouble if they placed their prisoner
on horse. AS Francisco had no desire
to roll off the horse, they at last reached
Hood River. From Hood River they
proceeded to take the offender to The
DaIles. Imagine their CONSERVATION
when the authorities refused to put the
prisoner in jail All their trouble and
time was spent for naught, not to mem
ton the weeks board and lodging.

Funeral of orla Connolly.

The Funeral of orla M. Connolly took
place this afternoon, at o'clock, from
the Methodist church. The building
was crowded with sorrowing school
mates, who were present to pay their
last token of respect to their former
schoolmate. The coffin was covered
with flowers, and the funeral services
were conducted by Mr.. VIM. Michel,
the pastor, Rev. Whistler, being sick.

The Cause of 1t.

After receiving permission from the
elders of the First Christian church to
preach in the church on Sunday, made
announcements to that effect. Certain
persons having objected to me preaching
in the church, and not wishing to be the
cause of any trouble, I hereby recall my
appointments for Sunday.

An ImportaNt OSca.

To properly fill its office and func
tions, it is important that the blood
be pure. When it is in such a con
dition, the body is almost certain to
be healthy. A complaint at this
time is catarrh in some Of its various
forms. A slight cold develops the
disease in the head. Droppings CT
corruption passing into tie lungs
bring on consumption. The, only
way to cure this disease is to purif.s
the blood. The most obstinate cases
Of catarrh yield to the medicinal
powers of Hoods Sarsaparilla as il
by magic, simply because it reaches
the seat Of the disease, and by puri,
flying and vitalizing the blood, re
moves the cause. Not only does
Hoods Sarsaparilla do this but it
gives renewed yigor to the whole
system, making it possible for good
health to reign supreme. B.

Judge Simonton has handed down
his opinion in the case Of the Con
zales vs.. the State constables, who
seized their liquor in tie Columbia
club sometime ago. He says that
the constables in seizing the liquor
were in contempt Of his injunction
and he decides that they must sur
render the liquor, and pay all costs
or so to jail until the sacred" liquor
is forth coming. Under this dccis-
ion any person can open a 'club," -"
keep liquor marked ''for personal
use," hire a servant and run a first
class bar room. The case has been
appealed.
He dismissed the case Of Dunbar
against Constable Rankin which was
a contempt case.

A PROGRESSIVE STEP

The business men of Columbia
have taken a step in the right direc-
ton, when on Monday last they
formed themselves into an crganiza
ton to be known as the ''commercial
club" It is want supplied which
has been long felt and the want Of
which has been the means Of neglec-
ting the business interest Of that
city. The field Of work for this club
is large and inviting and embraces
the interests of every department OF
business life, and the results of their
work promises to be beneficial to the
upbuilding OF Columbia. We are
glad to see that the names Of some
of the most progressive: wide-awake
and enterprising men of that city are
mentioned in connection with the
club and we are satisfied that an
influence and impetus will go out
from it which will be felt for good
by every business concern Of the
capital city.
Without wishing to be considered
as meddling with something in which
we have no interest, for If
we have one desire above
that of seeing Lexington thlive
and prosper, it is to see every inter
ests of our beautiful capital city IN
the same condition. We would sug-
gest that they use their influence in
having a better schedule operated on
this end of the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta Railroad. Let the club give
this matter their careful considera-
ton, and it will not be long before
it will see that many q dollar which
by rights would so to Columbia, goes
elsewhere. As the schedules are
now operated, person can leave this
place in the morning, go to Augusta
distance Of seventy miles, do their
trading and return The same day,
while to go to Columbia, distance
of fraction over fourteen miles by
railroad, q day and one night is con-
sumed. Arrangements might be
made with the railroad authorities TO
run a train from, say Batesburg,
leaving that place in the morning, to
Columbia, and return the same day.
We hope, however that some arrange
ments will be made TO remedy the in
convenient schedule now operated.
