THE ADVERTISER. Terms, 93,00 per Annum. Oar Supplement. This week our Supplement, in addition to several important State laws, contains a varied selection of interesting miscella neous reading, to which we invite the attention of our readers. 'Our Devil, on the eve of going to press, played the d-1 with our "Notes in Brief from Johnston's Depot,"-and in consequence of his carelessness we are now necessarily compelled to defer the said " Notes" until our next issue. " It Blesseth Him Who Gives and Him Who Takes." Such a bouquet as we (D. R. D.) re ceived lately-wi *h kindest wishes upon an anniversary day-from our honored friend, Mrs. Nathan L. Griffin, ia "a thing of beauty, a joy forever"-blessing "him who gives and bim who takes" Our thanks and our appreciation, we beg to assure our esteemed and gentle friend, are very heartfelt and very genuine. A New Organ for the Baptist Church. We would direct particular attention to the card, in another column, of Simmons <fe Clough, organ builders, of Detroit, Mich. We are glad to announce that the Bap tist congregation of our town, will soon receive one of the popular instruments of Simmons A Clough-whereupon we shall have more to say upon the subject. An Aiken Editor Visits Oar Town. It gave us much pleasure, a day or two since, to receive a visit from Mr. H. F. Sparnick, .avery agreeable gentleman, and editor of our neighbor and co tempo rary, the Aiken Tribune. A New Citizen and Professiolal Man. With much pleasure we call the atten tion of the public to the card of Dr. Shaf fer, in another column. Dr. Shaffer, who has lately settled among us, is a gentle man of the highest character-and in his professional character is skillful and ex perienced. The Floral Fair-The Sabre Club Contest-The Ball. AU -these grand and brilliant things are to take place in Augusta soon. The Horticultural Exhibition is to be held on Wednesday and Thursday, May 8th and 9th. " The grand and novel Tourna ment between the Sabre Clubs of Savan nah and Augusta wai take place on the same days, and at the same place-thc grounds of the Cotton States Mechanics and Agricultural Fair Association. The Ball, to be given in T^ral Hall, .will w?nfl np the two days' amusement. If all thi<= does not draw a throne: of visitors from Edgefield, we do rot know what will. We are happy to acknowledge the receipt of a complimentary ticket to the Horticultural Exhibition. Fatal Accident. Mr. John Red, a young man from Barnwell County, who has been residing in our town for several months,-an in dustrious, sober and clever young man was killed by the cars of the C. C. & A. Railroad on Friday night, the 18th inst., near the junction of the two Railroads at G rani tevillc. No one having seen Mr. Red at the time the accident occurred, the circum stances attending the. killing are not known. A jury of inquest was empan nelled on Saturday last, but on account of the absence of material witnesses, it adjourned its session to meet again on .to-day, Thursday. The Columbia Union, of the 21st inst., contains the following: GJSAJN'ITKVILLE, S. C., April 21,72. To the Editor Daily Union : A heart-rending accident occurred at this place last night caused by the neglect of the. C. C. <fe A. train to sound their whistle at the usual place. The name of | the victim was Red, who, I am informed by the Hon. John Woollev, was a man of | estimable character. He leaves ? wife to mourn his loss. It is said that at the time of the occur rence the two trains from Augusta, due here at the same time, were running a race. Evidently Mr. Red attempted to iump upon the train, which he would not nave done had the whistle sounded the usual " stop." The community is justly incensed at this manifestation of indiffer ence on the part of the derelict engineer. RUPERT. We have heard of late of the frequent occurrence of Railroad accidents in the . South. And when it is established that | an accident occurs through negligence of the officers of the Road, not only should the public manifest its indignation, but the parties who hereby are deprived of the stay and support of the family, should resort to the law, and require these cor porations to answer in heavy pecuniary damages for their acts of carelessness. Mr. Red leaves a family -who were de pendent on his labors for a support. -? - > A Little Unpleasantness in the Mt. Williup Section. One Richard Major, a highly colored individual, telling a highly colored tale, was in our town a day or two ago, seek ing a warrant for the arrest of Mr. Wm. Purifoy, a son of the-Rey. Mr. Purifoy, who, he alleged, had shot him while at work in the field. Major, if we mis lake not, was in the employ of Mr. Pu rifoy. Ho had a wound in .the.back, but not(a dangerous one. Trial-Justice Ram say issued the warrant. . "Great On!?* from Little Acorns (Crow." A line which most people have heard before ! But the oak-what and where is it? It is Johnston's Depot S miles to thc East of us. It is not yet a great oak, but it really promises to become one You would be surprised t<> sec how rapidly it is becoming a town. And the "Fred ericksburg Store" of Johnston's Depot is that of our friend, George J. Toncy, who has been so long in the- real Fred ericksburg Store in Auuusta. Sec Mr, Toney's advertisement in another col umn ; and remember that yon need go no further than Ton cy's*, at Johnston's Depot, to buy everything you could in Tew York-just as new, just as fashion ble, and just as cheap-cheaper in 4!

John nys popular Grocery and Dry Goods stablishment down here between the W?lls and Vaucluse Factory ? Why, i ought to be run out of the country r being so behind the times. People, ftcn iiow-a-days, travel from Nipety ix, from Augusta, from Edisto, from Hill, to trade at Pine-Grove Store. Read Mr. Johnson's card in another "n'Tiinn, and then you will be more en hteried. Mr. Johnson is a good and e Edge.^eld man. Fashionable Twinklings, ffhe newest style <5f costumes has the ming of the back of the dress differ from that in front, "he Alsatian bow is tlie latest novelty ' the day in trimming and is used on -esses, cloaks, sacques, and bonnets. Plain gold sleeve studs, rounded like a button, and without chasing or mono? gram, aro tho latest novelty in that line. A new kind of lace for trimming dress -es is called "daisy lace," and is about a finger wide, tho edge being formed by . large silk daisies. Tho effect is fine on a .black siJk. There arc three kindsof lace-the hand made, called point lace; that mad..; mi a -cushion, which is Valenciennes, and tho machine lace, which is noir so m u ca used for trimming. Graniteville Manufacturing Com- " pany. The annual meeting of the stockhold ers of tho Graniteville Manufacturing Company (says the Chronicle <fr Sentinel of Saturday,) took place at their office at Graniteville, yesterday. After the usual routine of business, an election was held and the company re-elected the President, H. H. Hickman, and the old Board, com posed of the following, viz : James P. Boyce, W. L. Trenholm, A.' B. Davidson, A. S. Johnson, J. M. Clark, H. Beattie and Alexander MacBeth. The executive officers were all contin ued, and aro as follows: W. E. McCoy, Cashier ; John Knott, Manufacturer ; George Kelly, Manager; James H. Giles, Secretary. We understand from reliable authority that tho Board has been instructed by the shareholders to extend the opera tions of the mill-as they may deem fit and we trust that the great success of the past may induce the early erection of an additional mill. For the Advertiser. MR. EDITOR: On a recent visit to Gran iteville, I was surprised to learn that the population is now three thousand souls. I had supposed only about fifteen hun dred. I also learned that it is contem t plated to increase the business capacity of the Mills to about double the present. In looking around at the several splen did establishments of merchandize, I chanced to fall in to the House of our good old friend and fellow-citizen, Mr. L. G. Swearengin, who has recently es tablished himself as a merchant in that town, jdr. S. was marking and shelving a very large addition to his already fino stock, and when the work was finished, I must say that my eyes have seldom looked upon a better or more tasteful stock of goods. Call upon Mr. Swearen gin, and he will take pleasure in show ing you his beautiful goods, and when you make your purchases (as you cer tainly will,) you will find your bill? low as the lowest. A. Political. PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-A meeting of Liberal Republicans appointed a com mittee of thirteen to arrange for the Cin cinnati trip. Gen. Thomas said that he labored to build up the Republican party, but now he was free to say that it was the most cerrnpt party on the face of the earth. Col. McClure said the English of | the whole thing was rebellion and the bringing of it to tho dignity of revolu tion. Five years ago there might have been necessity for the exercise of milita ry power in the South, but not now. The speaker differed with Grant upon princi ple. The dangerous thing tho free in stitutions of the country had to meet, was the policy of Gen. Grant to carry elections by force of the bayonet. To his mind the South has been more deso lated since than during the war. &- The Great Republic, a Democratic weekly, published in Philadelphia, de clares that " it is manifestly the duty of | all Democrats to bury party feeling and differences, at least for the present, and I join issue with the Liberal Republicans, in order to defeat tho common enemy, the Radicals." The Great Republic flies thc names of Charles Francis Adams for President and Jacob D. Cox for Vice president at the head of its columns. (g**?* An Englishman, temporarily- re siding in Lowell, Mass., says that he sees mor? drunkenness there than he ever saw in any town in England. He con cludes that the Prohibitory law is a farce, the State police a machine to squeeze money out of people, and the result a dis grace to the city and Stale. ???r A very wicked Connecticut man being recently taken ill, and believing he was about to die? told a neighbor that he felt the need of preparation for tho next world and would like to see some proper pc m in regard to it, whereupon thc feeling friend sent for a fire insurance agent. KEEP THE HAIR UNBLEMISHED.-" I am like an old hemlock-withered at the top," said a venerable Indian Chief, point ing to his thin and bleaching locks. Thousands of men and women in civil ized society, much younger than the old Sagamore," are like him, "withered at the top," simply because they have neg lected to use the means of preserving and beautifying thc hair which science had placed at their disposal. If LYON'S KATHAIKOX be faithfully applied once or twice a day, to the fibres and the scalp, it is just as impossible that the bair should decay, wither, fall out or become harsh and fuzzy, as that a meadow, duly refreshed with*nightly dews and sunlit rains, should become arid and barren of J -jrreen blades. This matchless prepara tion not only keeps the hair alive and the skin of the head in a healthy and clean Condition, but actually multiplies the filaments and imparts to thom a lus tre, flexibility and wavy beauty unat tainable by any other mode of treatment. It does not, like the metallic and sulphu rous hair dyes, dry up the natural mois ture of the scalp, bat supplies nutriment to the roots of the hair and vigor to the fibers.
