Mr. Herbert Srayley, whose serious illness we chronicled last week, died at half-past 3 o'clock on Saturday morning, aged about 23 years. Mr. Smyloy was a young man of ex cellent parts-intelligent, moral and of, kindly disposition, and his death will carry sorrow not only to the hearts of the -immediate family, but to the many friends who "knew him but to love him.' and who "name but to praise." And in his death weare reminded thataiHictions "came not as single spies." Ouly lour woike,ago his brother-in-law, Mr. Jame3 .A. Richardson, became a victim to tho same disease-malignant typhoid fever eaci yielding up his spirit after a strug gie of only about two weeks. While the first wound was still fresh, the second is received. Sad, indeed; aro these afflic tions and the sympathies of all are with the bereaved families.

Uncle Caleb Watkins, with a considera ble auxiliary force, began actual work on the Presbyterian Church on Monday morning last. And already it is almost done ! Well of course that is a pleasant little exaggeration. And still, when one remembers how Uncle Caleb works, not so much of an exaggeration after all. Long before Christmas-we predict-the new church will stand .upon the Lynch hill, beautiful and complete in all its parts. Indeed for Uncle Caleb to commence is for him to finish ! 0 . Rev. J. A.

Miller, held a protract ed meeting of six days, commencing on the 31st day of August, and closing on .th? Gth of September. The Master was with us anti blessed us, by- greatly reviv ing our-church, and arousing ita members from luke-warmness and indifference to a hearty service in the cause of our Re deemer. Bro. Miller ; having no one to assist him preached two sermons each day to large and solemn congregations, whioh did attest the power of the truth, as presented bj him. We had ei^bt addi tions, two by letter and six by experience, among whom were two aged mothers, one about seventy and the other sixty odd years of age, and J. S. Meynardie, son of Kev.. E. J.

For the Advertiser. A Timely una Genial Note from Prof. Seymour. MESSES. EDITORS: With thanks for kindly notices, in the ADVERTISEK, from time to time, sibce our arrival first in Edgefieid, .we now beg indulgence for a short communication. To one interested in Education it is gratifying to meet gentlemen alive to the cause, nutting forth efforts to further the truest interest of their children It is more gratifying to meet those having no children of their own to educate, who are equally concerned in the education of others. We" have met, and been drawn essentially near, in sympathy, with repre sentatives of these two classes, in the vil lage, during the past week ; and on one or two occasions so much zeal was manifested that alt formality ot a first meeting was laid aside to enter at once upon the " weightier matters" of the School. ThiB is encouragement and, in a measure, a guarantee of future success. To the people of the surrounding coun try we would say: Our doors are open to your children. Our tuition is reasonably low, and our teaching the best we are able to command. Reduced board is of fered to pupils of our schools.' We use the plural number, including the noble ef forts of Misses Gilliland and Adams, young ladies highly regarded as excellent teach ers and fine disciplinarians. Are'not good schools, refined and culti vated people, a healthy section, low board and tuition, together, with. Church and Sabbath School influence, sufficient in ducements to move some of our friends from the country to sojourn with us du ring our sch olas tic term, or Bend to us their children ? We have made a start, and are pleased with the material entrusted ; but there is room for more. Work on the Academy building is be ing dispatched, and improvements are be ing wrought. Ladies of the Village have notic??iihat School furniture ia sadly need ed, whidfl Ileana that they intend wise; foronesSrrOTy knows how much the completion of his child's character is taken .by reflection from falling desks, broken benches, crumbling walls and ma terial of derangement- and disorder on all sides. This matter, however, our Trustees and'many k?hd 'friends are considering, and as rapidly as possible are reducing to order. And we have great hope that our b?ilding, inside and out, will in a few months present a comely appearance and be a pride of the Village. W. D. SEYMOUR. '.Tlcae Whereof the Memory of Mau Runneth Not to the Coutrary." In this week's ADVERTISER James W. Turley, Augusta's dry-goods Nestor, makes some " seasonable suggestions to sensible people." Let all sensible people at once act upon Mr. Turley'H ..seasona ble suggestions. And as regards Tur ley's popularity in Edgefield-popularity well-won and well-deserved-he has been trusted" and beloved '.tlme'where of the memory of man runneth not to the contrary." Mr. Tarley has just re^ turned from New York, where he was fortunate in picking up some of the most remarkably cheap bargains ever heard of in the commercial centre of the United States, and he is now prepared to give his customers the advantage of .these lucky investments. Turley winda up his new card, to which we have alluded to above, by saying : " A Visit of In spection is Desired." "No Trouble to Show Goods." They Coruscate, They Glisten, They Gleam, They Sparkle, They Radi ate Witn Happy Smiles? We allude to the Caces of the hundreds of fair women who now day by day en ter the exquisite ,Millinery Establish ment of Miss Nellie Purcell, of Augusta. Miss Purcell has been in New York for a month or more, very lately, where she has made sp?cial; selections of-Bonnets and Hats upon .'her o Wu personal in spection. And when we speak of Miss Purcell's "own personal inspection," we mean a vast deal, for we regard her taste as faultless and matchless. When you buy those brilliant gems of Miss Purcell this fall ?nd winter you may be certain you haye the latest things in New York. We mean those Bonnets, those Hats, those Capotes, those Turbans, those Fichus, those Sliver Ornaments, those Laces, Veils, Ribbons, Feathers, Flowers and Braids. In another column of ?bis week's ADVERTISKR, Miss Purcell, with her accustomed thoughtfulness and grace, thanks the ladies of Ed gefiel d foi past favors, and earnestly invites them to call and see her when they visit Au gusta.

The Court of General Sessions was calli ed at 10 A. M., on Monday last. Honor, Judge Wallace, and Solicitor Bo ham were promptly on band. So al were the Grand Jury. The Petit Ju were not quite so prompt, but after a li, tie recourse to the five-mile box, were di} ly organized. The Solicitor gave a num ber of indictments to the Grand Jury, j On Monday afternoon, Sam Thorpe the notorious thief of the Harmony section, who has lately returned from the Peniy tentiary, was tried for chicken stealing and assault and battery. He was con vic* j ed, and sentenced to another term cf tw? years. Sara defended himself in an elo^ quent speech to the jury, but failed tq convince that body of his innocence. f Tuesday was devoted to the trial ol two or three somewhat unimportant cases in all of which the defendants were ne? groes. Young Glenn is to be tried on Friday o? this week ; the Hamiltons, on Monday oj next week. The session will probably hold for three weeks. ?An Absolute Guarantee on Prices Against Every Market in the United States." This bold and unqualified guarantee isl given by Daly tfc Armstrong, of Augus- U ta They give it in this week's ADVERT?- i SER, and we bope all our patrons will j read and study it well ; for Daly <fc Arm strong are m eu who mean exactly what they say. Tueir great Dry Goods Em porium in the new Masonic Temple is one of the beacon lights of Augusta. With ita magnificent show windows, io which are artistically arranged laces, silks and other beautiful articles, its long aisle extending from street to street, flanked on either side by counters and J shelves loaded with the richest goods, the Daly & Armstrong establishment is equal to any in Richmond, Charleston, Savannah or New Orleans. In fact there are very few that can compete with lt anywhere. Both members of the firm are trained dry goods men. They bring out not only from New York, but also from London and Paris, the best and handsomest goods that can be obtained in these great centres ; and they take good care to buy nothing that is shoddy. Their silks, in black and in colors, their dress goods, their laces, their trimmings, are always absolute marvels of elegance and beauty. Hence it is no wonder that the Daly & Armstrong establishment is so immensely popular. Something That Means Very Sure Success. Trading with the Platt Brothers, of Augusta. See and read that excellent new card of theirs, lengthwise, on our editorial page. Ever since we can re member, the Platt Brothers have been noted as one of the principal furniture firms in the South. Occupying three entire floors of the large and handsome building where they are located, they always carry a very large and complete stock of Furniture, so that the purchaser has the greatest possible variety to, choose from. Their long experience ena bles them to judge accurately what the ? people of our section desire in the Fur niture line ; and we are certain that no Edgefield man or woman will go to the Platt establishment who will not find exactly what he or she wishes. The Platt stock embraces not only all the old standard articles of furniture, but also all the novelties in their line of business. They keep parlor and bed-room sets of | all grades, tables, chairs, sofas, secreta-J ries, book-cases, sideboards, ?tag?res,] and everything else usually found in an menSj Go to iS^WPsUorner for Lunch during Court.
