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 Garden I ONLY SELL BIJiST’H SEEDS, an t am 6ob- ant.ly receivin'' tin in in <]u in f lemand.

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. J. A. RODGERS cfe CO. There is corn in the land, and ,ol. Jones’ mill may now be heard in town every night, singling a ery song of plenty, as it makes music d meal. — We were glad to learn a few days o, that Col. T.

Walsh for his aid in the 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. SEND A Y MAIL.

Ferrell, Superintendent of the Railway Mail Service, totflon, Patrick Walsh, of Augusta, will inform our readers that from and after this date, Waynes boro is to have a Sunday mail.

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.

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.
