From the Greenville journal OF last
week: "!Sheriif Loyelace informs us
that he has been advised by Judge T..
NJ. bearing to order the petit and
grand Jurors, who were subpoenaed
to be here on February ith, the first
day Of circuit court, not to report.
Jgdse bearing will be here On that

The time for receiving bids for car
rying the Z. S, mails between Glover
and this place, via Lesteryille, by mo-
tor power, expired January 9th. 1t is
rumored that parties have submitted
bids as low as $1,000 per year for this
service. This looks almost like a
starvation price, and we can hardly
see how the bidders hope to make
anything out of the contract at that
price. The service is scheduled to
become effective February 1st.-Cen-
