LOCAL.
It is thought that man Sossoman
who shot into a crowd of inoffensive
chained men, ought to be indicted.
Protracted meeting began at the
Ebenezer Baptist church last Wednes
day night.
It is thought that the graded school
will go from the old quarters to the
new building next Monday.
l/ist Sunday night we heard a very
able and interesting sermon in the
First Baptist church by the pastor,
Rev. A. A. Powell.
will he conducted in tlhc
new church to-morrow and Rev. Prof.
W. 11. Holer will preach. He is one
of the best learned and most eloquent
preachers in the conference.
Clinton Chapel made a start on the
general fund collection last Sunday.
That is right, if all the churches would
start in time and keep it up, they,
would raise all with much less trouble.
The mother of our townsman H. B.
Kennedy lies paralized. She was
stricken on New Years and very little
hope is intertained of her recovery.
She is very old.
<io up at once and pay your taxes
or you will have trouble about it.
Taxes are as sure as death this year.
Save costs and trouble by paying with
in tlie next few days.
About one hundred persons from
the east Tn part of this country, have
spent part of this week near the Air
Line depot waiting an opportunity to
get off to Arkansas.
Every member of the Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union is re
quested to attend the meeting of the
I’nion on Monday afternoon at 4 oclock
corner of 3rd and C street. Business
of importance to be transacted.
A temperance school or Band of
Hope was organized last Monday after
noon at the (iraded school building.
The children will he taught the effects
of alcohol and it is hoped many will he
saved by the workings of this school.
It is charged that the city dailies
willfully misinformed the public upon
tlic convict matter, as the man’s word
who did the shooting was taken in pre
ference to other disinterested witnesses
who may he secured to testify in court.
The entertainment given the Win
nona Friday night of last week at Mr.
.1 E. King’s was a very pleasant affair,
though rather informal Miss McLean
of Fayetteville was present and added
much by her singing and playing.
Icist Wednesday evening the south
train was loaded with colored people.
A party of fifteen from Chester bounty,
S. C . stopped here to go on farms in
this county. Another family of seven
from Blackstocks, S. C., bought tickets
for hi ll i Rock, Arkansas.
Social pleasure clubs are now the
rage of the day. The young folks
have organised two or three, now the
married people are organising. One
was organized last week, one this week
and another to ho organized next week.
Tim Winnntia has plenty of rivals now
and no one is hurt. Each one is made
up of good people ami ’ all will enjoy
themselves.
Hints and Criticisms.
Preparation for Sabbath on Satur
day will holp one get to Church on
time Sabbath morning.
Children in a pew with yheir
parents if under proper diacipline,
behavo better and go in and out less
than if left alone.
W hen a Church is clean, warm and
comfortable, a sermon can he much
better enjoyed and the preacher feels
and talks better.
If you cannot help your neighbor
by saying a good thing for him, it
might be better to leave some one
else the evil things to say.
If a paper iB worth reading it
ought to be worth paying for as
somebody have to do the paying; if a
person don’t complain, they certainly
get tired lending this paper.
When a person intends going to
Church and waits to hear the last
bell ring before he begins to prepare,
he will certainly walk heavy when he
gets in Church.
The preacher that can do his own
praying, singing, playing and preach
three times a day, cant be beat, and
this city needs that kind of a man just
now. But then, how long would he
last at it ?
When a person gets tired taking a
paper, if he has not paid up he feels
had to order it stopped. So if a man
wants to feel good and make the
editor feel badly, let him pay for
his paper then order it stopped.
Personal.

Misa Mary McLean was this week
able to get out to return a few of the

prepare for us at once. We intend to

some money from every one that owes
us, if he has to borrow it from his
neighbor. Prepare, we are coming.
A Bold Robbery.
One night last week the little cloth
ing store in front of the Court House
was broken open and about $135 worth
of clothing stolen. The front door
was forced open and entrance was made
from the main street. This is less
than a block from the main square and
the police headquarters. Don’t know
where the police were—perhaps his
beat is too large.
Please send us our money you have.
You have had our paper, now send
the money, we need it very badly ; we
are buying type and other fixtures to
give you a better paper. If you mean
to pay and want the paper, send us

so send us part if you cant spare all
now.
We regret to hear of the death of

D. I Walker of Chester, S. C. Alex
ander was a good, intelligent and pro
missing hoy, about 12 years old.
Though he had not been well for some
time, he was confined to his bed only
two days. He was conscious of the
approach of death, and a few hours be
fore he died, he called the family
around him and bade them goodbye
and passed away quietly.

Give Union Goods th«> Preference.
The Breadwinner.
We should like to see an association of
workingmen and women who would pledge
themselves tc buy no article unless it was
made tiy union latior. We should also like
to see an association of Americans who
would not buy an article of foreign manu
facture when like articles an- manufactured
in this country. Give union made goods
the preference and every employer will be
forced to employ union men and women.
Child Labor.
Washington Craftsman.
The pn-ssure in favor of the abolition
of child labor in factories is becoming
stronger. A less numlier of children are
employed than formerly, and as the va
rious State labor Hurt-mils turn the light
of statistics upon this evil it will more
and more recede. At child labor is with
drawn from the market, the price of adult
lats-r will increase, so that the family in
come will he fully as large without the
price of the life-blood of their progeny.
A)Musterly Lie Open to Improve
ment.
Boston Transcript.
The champion liar eoaies from Pike
county, lud., and the following yam
is probably the greatest effort of his
life: A young lady who was watch
ing my binding harvester at work fell
upon the table aud was carried up
with the grain. As the girl was about
the size of a bundle, the machine did
not recognize the difference, and so
she came through with a neat little
string around her waist. One of the
harvest hands caught her as the ma
chine ‘kicked’ her out and set
her on the ground right side
up, when it was found that she had
been more frightened than hurt,”
Now, if this veracious agriculturalist
had only added that the machine
threshed the young woman and shook
from her face the Sour, without which
no self-respecting woman’s toilet is
complete, and barreled said fiour for
market by the aid of the young wo
man’s hoops, his story would possess a
completeness and syminetery which
would cause it to pass current every
where as a great and uuproaehable
work of art.
Gov. Hill and the Corporations.
Medulla (Mu.) Bazoo.
Gov. Hill, of New York, in his
recent message, is emphatic in his
“firm and just opposition to the grow
ing power of corporations, to the eon*
trol of elections aud offices by a plu
tocracy and his geuuiue sympathy
with the demands of labor. Gov.
Hill’s administration has been singu
larly clear and free from selfish and
corrupt rings.”
Several hundred hands employed in
Lorillard’s tobacco factory. New York,
struck last week for an iuerease of
wages aud are still out. Some of the
girls employed in the fine cut depart
ment are returning to work.
