80 THE COURANT; A SOUTHERN LITERARY JOURNAL.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Tuesday evening, Mr. Edwin Forrest, the trage-
dian, presented to the Grand Lodge of Free and Accep-
ted Masons, now sitting in New York--a check for $500,
for the use and benefit of the widows and orphans of
Free Masons, the same being the amount of a verdict
recovered by Mr. Forrest against Mr. N. P. Willis in an
action for libel. The donation was accompanied by a
letter from Mr. Forrest, stating that he did not bring
the suit for the purpose of recovering pecuniary compen-
sation, but for the vindication of his character, and there-
fore willingly devoted the amount of the verdict to this
noble charity.

"WHO IS THE HEIR?"
THE Proprietor of the YORKVILLE ENQUIRER proposes to
answer this question, (which by the way, concerns every man
and woman in the country,) by the publication of a spirited ORIGI-
NAL NOUVELETTE, written expressly for the ENQUIRER, by
a talented young writer of this State. This Story, which, wherever
it is read, will produce a sensation, is entitled,
"WHO IS THE HEIR;
OR, THE DARK MYSTERY OF THE DESERTED HOUSE."
BY WILLIE LIGHTHEART,
Author of "Lula Woodsworth," "Winnie and Willie," "The
Children of the Sun," "Old Heads and Young
Hearts," &c., &c.
The publication will commence with the FIRST WEEK IN AU-
GUST, and continue through the ensuing three months, unfolding a
plot replete with stirring incidents, dark and mysterious develop-
ments, with a strange and startling document. The Proprietor,
willing to encourage Southern Literature by PRACTICAL means, has
paid a round price for this production, and hopes that a generous
public patronage will remunerate his outlay, and thus encourage, by
the only method possible, the development of home talent.
In addition to this, several contributors of known ability are con-
stantly engaged for the ENQUIRER. In every number, letters of
correspondence appear from different sections. The brilliant and
witty "RUBY" writes regularly. Our promising young poet, J,
WOOD DAVIDSON, contributes every other week. A lady of
Columbia, who is well known in newspaper literature, but whose
name we are not at liberty to disclose, has been permanently engaged
for our columns, and will write short and brilliant sketches for each
number. In addition to those, we receive constant supplies from
Rev. J. W. KELLY, J. FOREST GOWAN, W. W. EAST, Mrs. M. W.
STRATTON, "PUNCH," "A. H. L.," "X. Y. Z.," who, with our own
strict and careful attention to current affiars, make up a weekly me-
lange, which, the proprietor believes, will interest readers of every
class, and should attract the patronage of our people.
THE ENQUIRER is published in Yorkville, S. C., at $2, in ad-
advance. Clubs of TEN, $15, and an extra paper to the person
making up the club.
Send for it immediately, so as to get the first number of "WHO
IS THE HEIR?" All letters should be addressed to the "EN-
QUIRER," Yorkville, S. C. LEWIS M. GRIST, Proprietor.

TO THE PUBLIC.

HAVING purchased the valuable and judiciously selected stock
of BOOKS and STATIONERY of Mr. R. L. BRYAN, in
this city, I respectfully notify the public, of which, the friends and
patrons of that gentleman constitute a large and respectable part,
of my establishment in business at his late stand.
It will be my earnest endeavor to maintain the unexceptionable
character of the late proprietor's business in every respect; and as
assurance of my fitness to be his successor, I beg leave to call at-
tention to the subjoined card."
P. B. GLASS, Successor to R. L. Bryan.
COLUMBIA, S. C., June 2d, 1858.
----
IT will be seen from the above notice that Mr. P. B. GLASS, my
very efficient and confidential head assistant for the past ten
years, has become my successor in the BOOKSELLING and STA-
TIONERY business in Columbia.
The business qualifications and sterling integrity of character of
my successor, are too well known to my friends and customers
throughout the State, to need any endorsement on my part.
Most heartily thunking my friends and the public for the very
liberal patronage which they have extended to me for nearly sixteen
years, and which I now give up on account of feeble health, I most
earnestly entreat its continuance to my successor.
My twenty years of business experience will be at his service in
the PURCHASING DEPARTMENT (the most important) to
which I have undertaken to attend. R. L. BRYAN.
