FOR GOOD ROADS.
The cyclists Of Brooklyn well afford 10 be
satisfied with the present political conditions in the
city across the East River. In the recent election
in Brooklyn the wheelmen believed that they had a
friend in the Republican candidate, Frederick W.
Wurster. and they rallied to his support taking a
lveler interest in the political situation than had
usually been their wont.
Yet there were some who "winked the other eye
SO to speak. and spoke about political speeches and
talk as being all right before election, but not
counting for much after the votes were all in. In

"Mr Crawford has won success In
two different fields Of fiction In this.
his present work. he combines these
fields. and wins a greater success
than ever. There is but little question
that Casa Braccio' will prove 10 be
the great novel Of the year"

THE INDEPENDENT says:

eve imagine that every reader OF Mr.
Crawfords novels will be glad that IN
this he has again returned 10 Italy Tor
his life and color.
In this powerful story we note
distinct advance in Mr.. Crawfords
literary art, for which we are CRATE
full He has been an amazingly prollnc
author, and 1t was hut natural that
his friends should fear lest his style
deteriorate. and his imagination lose
it's freshness
But here is a work of a high order
The dction Is fluent, nervous. rich IN
expression. and suits itself to the story
as wel-fitting glove suits the hand.
Speaking for ourselves, We sat up
until far toward the cOck-crOwing TO
reach the last page OF Casa Braccio.'
Mr. Crawford's Imagination takes 1rm
hold of the substance. the artistic
body. Of Italian life. In Gloria, the
heroine Of his story, the projection OF
character is bold strong and attract
i've. The girl comes right into warm
bodily touch with vision and sympa-
thy She is seen. heard. felt; and her
experiences command deep and abb
sorbing realization.
Most of all. he story is a pro-
foundly moving romance, made up
compactly out of interesting, un-
usual. and picturesque materials.
From first to last the atmosphere Is
fascinating, and dramatic situations
frequently take on largeness and
almost absolute perspective.
All Of the chief characters are ad-
mirably drawn at once. as II by a
single stroke. and are sustained all
along the steady. deliberate flow OF
the story the texture OF which is
clean, firm and good. The publishers
have given the book a beautiful make
up and the illustrate are superb"

Gross HAli Notes.

On Saturday night, 22d ult., In the
still hours between midnight and day-
light % o'clock) Dur town was aroused
from it's slnmbare by the Changing of
the church belts and firing of guns,
p~roclaiming that the fire fiend was at
work. The lurid flames lit all the
horizon about and around the depot.
The fre was ascertained to be In the
barn annd stables on the lot OF Mrs.
Annie Ellis. The building was used
by DIR. r.. M. Pinson. The building
was oon consumed and all the forage
which the Doctor had laid in for win
ter USE. DR.. Pinson's fine saddle
horse was rescued from the burning
building, but in SO badly burned and
injured q condition as to be thought
useless for the future. The fire was
confined to this building thanks to its
being o very still night and the brave
and well directed efforts of the citi-
zens. 1t has been just two years since
we had q fire in our town and 1t created
quite u sensation.
Mr.. J. j.. Goddard and family has
moved into u town and occupy the
house near the depot.
Mr.. j. @. Reeder, of Newberry, has
located in II town with his family.
r.. A. Nowlin, ID. ID. s., of Alabama,
has cast in his lot with us. He and his
family are with Mrs. Matthews. We
extend to all these persons a hearty
welcome and wish them a long and
prosperous stay with us.
John Miller, Willie Fuller and Gil
lam Davenport, Clemson students,
spent Christmas at home.
John McSwain, of s G. College, Miss
BERTHE Turner, of Greenville Female
College, and Joseph Owens of the
Charleston Medical College, were at
home for the holidays.
1t is reported that the II. r. agent
at this depot has been removed. We
will be sorry to lose Mr.. Coogler and
his pleasant family.
1t gives us great sorrow to note the
death of MCGOWAN Miller, child of w.
M. Miller. This interesting and
sweet little boy sank to rest on the 18th
ult., after q severe illness of only three
days. The whole community join in
sympathy with the afflicted family.
