Mr. Wm, Gaffney left this morning for
his old home in Spartanburg County, S. C.

A Big- Liin Case.
A man with broadcloth clothes on came
twenty miles from Hartwell last week to
sue a man for thirty cents. This is simply
ridiculous.

Dr. E. <>. Murrain
Owing to the severity of the weather and
the unprecedentedly bad roads the Doctor
could not be in llartwell according to ap
pointment. lie will be here, however,
between the 10th and 15th instant. Those
wishing their teeth worked on should bear

Col. iliomas Thornton.
This gentleman died in Smilhvillc, Mon
roe Oounty, Mississippi, on the 10th of
January, 1877. in the seventy-seventh year
of his age. The deceased was a brother of
Rev. Benjamin Thornton, of this place,
and a former resident of Elbert County.
We sympathize with the brother in this be
reavement.
Nnlcsriay.
A considerable crowd was in town yes
terday, and the square presented a lively
scene. Some land was sold, and a horse
changed owners for the sum of $lO. A
farmer facetiously informed us that he saw
the frame but could not discover the horse.
One man became rather obstrepereus and
was lodged in the lock-up. Save a few
wordy combats, the day passed of quietly.
The Hartwell Minstrels.
According to announcement, this talent
ed troupe gave one of their unique and
amusing entertainments in the Courthouse
on Saturday night to a full house and ap
preciative audience. Every one expressed
themselves satisfied, and pronounce it as
equal to Van Horn & McLean’s minstrels.
We learn that they will give another enter
tainment at an early day.
A Morions Fall.
On Thursday morning, while Mr. Eben
czer Vickery was upon the chimney scaf
fold of Mr. John Brown's house, the
planks tilted, throwing him violently to the
ground, lie fell about fifteen feet, and in
his descent struck against a sharp piece of
plank which inflicted a terrible gash under
his arm near the shoulder, three or four
inches long and a half inch deep. The
wound was very painful, and Mr. Vickery
suffered excruciatingly for some time. We
arc glad to learn that he is recovering
irapidly.
ViuicrMl Ncrinon.
Rev. J. T. W. Vernon preached the fune
ral sermon of Waymnn Kberhart, infant son
of Maj. .J. 11. Skelton, on Sunday .January
28th, in the Baptist Church to a large and
attentive audience. It was a fine effort,
and the points well taken. His text em
braced the latter clause of the Bth verse.
oth chapter Revelations : “ Come and see."
In this chapter we have a description of
four horses, witli their respective riders.
The first was white, on which sat an illus
trious personage with a bow, and He went
forth conquering and to conquer, Ac. The
second horse is red, to represent war. Ac.
The third black, to represent famine, Ac.
The fourth a pale horse, whose rider is
Death, and Hell followed him. Death is
under a seal —verse 7. Death is not under
the direction and power of Satau, Ac., but
under the management of God. The living
know that they must die, Ac, “It is ap
pointed unto men,” Ac. Death is repre
sented as riding—not as creeping or walk
ing. but riding forth with courage and
power. lie has ridden over the heads
of all classes and generations of human
beings. Death is described as being fol
lowed with Hell. Thik word sometimes
signifies the grave. Tt also signifies the
place of future punishment of the wicked,
which is the second death. The rich man
died, Ac. Notice our duty respecting it.
Come and see the antiquity of death. He
boid Abel prostrate, Ac. No country, or
color, or age, or people ever escaped his
ravages. Prepare for Death in life. No
repentance in the grave.
Removals.
Mr. W. R. Stephenson has moved into
his new house in the suburbs. It is not
yet completed, but will be a large and
handsome structure.
Mr. John Brown has removed his family
from the country to his handsome new res
idence in Hartwell. He sends his children
to the High School. This is an example
worthy of emulation, and we wish more of
the good citizens of Hart County would
evince the same progressive spirit. His
house when completed will be one of the
most beautiful in the village. Mr. Kay
desires to state to those who have been so
persistent in their inquiries, that Mr. John
Brown has moved into his new house !

Mr. I sham Dyar, singing teajcber, will
meet with the citizens at the Baptist. J’ljurch
on Fridajr night nevV, for the pAposirof
organizing a singing class. Everybody arc
invited to attend.
Communication.
To tiie Editob of The Sun :
For the benefit of the future historian, I
have thought a short biographical sketch
of the dramatis personae of the Hartwell
Minstrels would be apropos , and give be
low the result of my labors in that direc
tion :
The Orchestra is composed of Messrs.
Neese and Temples violinists, and Satter
field banjoist, and we defy any brass band
in the United States to play the same mu
sic. They do not play by notes, but by
an industrious use of elbow grease are en
able to till the air with melodious sounds
as soft and dulcet as cats a-fighting.
Cicero Chapman, the li Boss Showman,”
talented vocalist, fancy dancer and funny
tamborinist, is an old hand at the business
and has been before the footlights long
enough to take a position among the stars
of the burnt cork profession, having been
connected with many first-class troupes,
among which was the famous world-re
nowned “ Sons St. Vanarance.”
John Pressnel made his debut with this
troupe. But his innate talent coupled with
his imposing appearance and indefatigable
energy will place him among the foremost
Ethiopian character delineators of the cen
tury. He has had a lucrative offer by a
well known troupe for the present season,
but prefers to cast his destiny with the
Hartwell Minstrels.
Thomas M . Teasley, Esq., the inimita
ble engine whistler and triangle beater also
appears on the stage for the first time.
'J his gentleman is a member of the legal
fraternity, which show s that talent of the
first order frequently gives dignity to the
business. I understand that he intends
giving up his profession and devoting all of
his time and talents to engine whistling.
Thomas Adams, jr., in his first appear
ance bids fair to eclipse Booth, Forrest or
Laura Keene, and has a bass voice of tre
mendous power and compass, resembling
the exquisite sound of a buzz saw or the
rattling of peas on a dry hide in pathos.
I' m. Gaffney as •* Mr. Johnson,” has
no equal as a “middle man,” outside of a
ring of glass agates—his head having the
roundness necessary. ITis commanding
appearance cannot be surpassed any where
this side of the Kentucky Giant, and the
family grocery business has now no charms
for him. With such a leader, we have no
doubt but that the troupe could draw au
immense crowd even in the theatre-going
city of Klfcerton.
John Wloox has just retired from riding
the mail, 4nd was a valuable acquisition,
and as a “ property-hoy ” was a decided
success. It is true that ho has not the
the proper proportions for r. female charac
ter. anatomically speaking, hut with the
necessary trimmings, Ac., we have no
doubt put what he will soon put Lydia
Thompson to shame.
J. If. McGill, like the “ Ikjss,” has been
on the board before, having taken con
spicuous parts in the Klborton Minstrels
and the Anderson F.thiopes. lie is partic
ularly distinguished for his energy and
physical strength in beating the hones.
He ipade many brilliant and decided hits
during the performance, in fact he made
even more effective hits with his hones
than he has ever succeeded in doing with
his pen as an editor. We don’t think his
physical strength can hold out much longer
under such terrific manifestations, and
suppose he will resign his charge to O’ gen
uine young African, who has already dis
played some talents in that way on the
jtreets of our town. CRITIQUE.

such evidence of its success and superior
virtue as Boschee’s German Syrup for
severe Coughs, Colds settled on the breast.
