COMPLAINT-.
Complaints are cominuady rpnchJ
ing us from our subscribers, to the effect 1
that they do not get their p.aperH rpgu
arly. 'he whole ma ter. we think is
explained by a subscribe, who writes
that he never ge's his paper unless he :
happens to be at the postoffice when it
arrives in the mail. Of course^ some
one who is not a subscriber, takes it j
out of the office, and conveniently for
gets to put ’t back, or give it to its
owner. We have done all we can in
the matter; we write carefully and
mail onr papers here, and are satisfied
that, the packages are promptly sent
from this postoffico to their destination. ***4*«m*w

CONFIDENCE MEN.
On Monday and Tuesday a brace
of young reprobates were in town,
and used all their arts to swindle our
citizens, especially the young men
We have heard that some were fool
ish enough to be bitten by them, but
do not know ot a single case. Such
scoundrels should be arrested as com
mon cheats and swindlers, and given
a term in the chain gang to induce
on their part a disposition to labor
for an honest living. They are no
better than sneak thieves, and should
be treated to the same kind of medi
cine. Let our people be on their
guard when such characters make
their appearance in town.

To-day we publish the advertisement
of Messrs. J. A. Rodgers & Co., manu
facturers of carriages, buggies, wagons,
carts, plows, etc., at Perkins’ June
tion. These gentlemen have establish
ed extensive shops at the Junction, and
have rendered themselves indispensible
to the people of that vicinity. They do
their work faithfully of the best material
and an article manufactured by them is
greatly superior to those ‘‘far fetched
and dear bought” so eagerly sought af
ter by some, and in which putty and
paint are too often made to take the
place of good work. Another point
presents itself in the case : By giving
your patronage to your home institu
tions you build up conveniences at
your very doors, and thus enhance the
yalue of your own property. We are
pleased to learn that they are receiving
a liberal patronage, and hope they will
be pressed to the utmost capacity of
their shops. See advertisement.

Tion. Patrick Walsh, A ugusta., Ga
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 18th
inst. received this date. It appears
that it was mailed at 9, a. in., on the
19tb and rooeived here at 5, a. in., on
the 20th, not being forwarded from
Augusta until yesterday evening; honoe
l am unable to issue the order to take
effect L> morrow. I have, however, in
struoted the postmaster of Augusta to
make up a pouch for Wayuesboro on
Sundays
I trust that this will be Matitfiuroiy.
Very respeotftillj,
L. M. Fkhiusix, Superintendent.
We return thanks to Dr. Holley-
mj»n for a seed ear <>f the famous
Golden Dent corn. You may just
bet on I)r. Holleyman’s seeds being
pure, and he ha»?s fine a selection «f
them- as one wishes to see.
Mr. S. A. Gray Mfis had a plank
sidewalk placed beside his store,
grocery and the full length of the
short street running between his
store and the public square. It is
quite an improvement.
Mr. D. C. Blount, the efficient,
clerk of our depot agent, wo are told
can write the Lord’s prayer legibly
and clearly, on a 12 gague gun wad.
Bis books are beautifully kept, and
not a hint appears to mar their ap
pearance.
Rev. Mr. Breedlove, Methodist
pastor at this place, paid our sanctum
a pleasant call yesteiday. We found
Mr. B. an affable gentleman, and Were
pleased to make his acquaintance. He
has made many warm friends during the
short time he has been here.
—Mr. S. A. Gray has removed the
lying trees from the front of his
stop-, which, looked badly in their
(•caving enditinn, and has placed in
their place? film, thriftv, young wile
mulherrv trees. The change is pleas
ing t.n the eye.
— Judge W. 8. Godbee and Dr.
Johnson went on a fishing excursion to
Gordon’s mill on Thursday, the first
real pleasant day we have had this
year, and caught each a fine string of
largo bream. Think of this, ye deni
zens of the frozen North—fine fishing in
January.
—Williams, & Brown, barbers, can
always found at their shop, in
Wilkin’s building, with sharp razois
and scissors and the sweetest of per
fumes, ready to shave you or cut your
hair in the most artistic manner and the
latest styles. Don’t forget to call on
them when you wish a shave or a cut.
- -And now comes Dr. Holleyman,
and presents us with his Patapsoo
Library a neatly printed magazine of 32
pages, well filled with choice literature.
Verily our druggists are becoming -the
mo*t literary men in the community,
and are laying the regular pencil push
ers in the shado We are under obliga
tions, doctor.
—We would remind our readers that
Mr. A. W Clark, the photographist, is
still in town, prepared to take fine pic
tures in all sorts of weather. The bad
weather which has kept the ladies in
doors, shows a disposition to clear up,
and the ladies should take advantage of
the first, nice days to visit Mr. ^’lark’s
gallery, and have their pictures ialien.
Such an opportunity is not likely to
occur soon again.
—P. B. Hall defies the Chinamen
and their prices, and comes to thp front
with an adveriisement m wh oh lie of
fers his fine stock of groceries, etc , to
his cus oraers on the most liberal torms,
We know that Ila 1 keeps nothing but
first class goods, and we have no idea
that you can buy bettor goods at any
cheaper rates in town. Therefore, we
say read Hall’s advertisement, and
call on him when you wish to buy.
—Tho artesian well is progressing—
with a ru-h, but steadily, and we
are satisfied that this time success will be
the result- The derriok is being ereot-
ed in a acid, suhnIanJal manner, and
ai 1 other preparations are being as firmly
made, and when the boriug commences,
which will probab'y be some time next
week, it wi 1 go evenly on to the end.—
Wo can only su T gest that our subsprib
ers notify their postmaster not to deliver
their papers to anyone without wri ten
au;horiiy. To those who thus appropr-
ate their ne : ghb rs’papers, we say it is |
wrong—dishonest. The subscription to
the paper is a mere pit'ance, and if vou
want it so bad, send the money, aud we
will take pleasure in furnisning you a
copy ot your own. which you will not bet ■GiM
ashamed to take out of your pocket in any * **'"** ”* ********
company. If you will not do this, we
can only appeal to your sense of justice,
and request you to let other people's
papers alone.
DANCE AT THE ARLINGTON.
The dance given at the Arling
ton on Friday evaning last, by Mr.
and Mrs. W. E. Jones, proved to be
most enjoyable, and in every way
worthy of the fair visitor, Miss Pearl
Napier, in whose honor it was given.
These pleasant entertainments, occur
ring in the midst of arduous duties,
constitute the oases of life, and long
after the pleasures have vanished will
the mind treasure the happy mem
ory. Our society is indebted a thou
sand times to the courteous host and
hostess of the Arlington for one of
the season, and they will be held in
grateful remembrance by the happy
participants in Friday eyening’s fes
tivities.

—A customer called at one of our
dry goods establishments a day or two
ago and asked to look at some “ring-
legged »ocks.” “Will they run?”
queried the customer of the dapoer
New York cle’k who was waiting
on him. New York looked up in
surprise, and replied, “no; socks
can’t run ” “I mean,” replied the
purchaser, “will they die?” New
York was more surprised than ever
as he said, “die, die ; no sir; they
have no life—hqw can they die?”
“You misunderstand me,” said the
customer, “I mean, will they wash
‘ Oh, no,” said New York, “you will
have to wash them.’’ Hastily pay
ing for two pairs, the customer left,
muttering, ‘that fellow don’t know
his head Lorn a green gourd.”
—We hear, that Mack Smith, a
mud colored moke, mado an attempt to
extract a bolt of calico from W. A.
Wilkins & Co s store one night this
week, but was detected and brought to
account. He was offered his choice be
tween the chain gang and a dose of
“plantation bitters.” He ehose the
bitters, and remained on the “standing
committee” for several days afterwards
As a sequel, we learn that his wife be-
oauie so mortified at the occurrence
(I .robably because he failed to secure
the calico) that she left him, and re
turned to her mother at Green’s Cut.
—In another eolumn will be found
the new advertisement of Dr. Pol-
hill. One of the main features of his
advertisement is the notice of his stock
of fresh garden seeds whioh he has just
received from Buist’s celebrated seed
farm. He warrants them to be fresh
and pure, and if ^rou expect satisfac
tory results from your garden, you must
plant pure fre-h seeds, and now that
Dr. Pol hill tells you where you oan get,
the best, if you are without a garden it
is your own fault.
—Hon. Jo se Wimberly, who ha?
been in Washington, D. C., since the
adjournment <>f the Legislature, came
home on Sunday night, hut left for
Washington again on Wednesday
morning to advocate in person bis
claims for the offico of Revenue Col
lector of this, the 3d district. Col.
Wimberly’s chances to receive the
appointment appear to be good. He
would make an efficient aud popular
officer.
—Friend John S. Blount has in his
store the most eoonomb’al stove we ev
er saw. It is about the size of a quart
oup, and it is a hard matter to tell where
the store stops and the pipe begins. Ho
oluiiua that he oan run it all day with a
