Holland,who, for the last two years has lived in New berry County, just across the river from Chappell'a. And thus is our friend, while still a very young mar:, mude for the sec ond time a widower. Mrs. Holland, who was young, gentle, pious, and widely-be loved, was Miss Neelie Watkins, a mem ber of an honored family in the section in which she died. Her death, if we are correctly informed, occurred on Saturday afternoon last. Shes leaves two children, the youngest an infant only a few days old. .A Good Time Coming. The season for our farmers to realize upon their crop3 and get their surplus is now at hand. The season for our mer chants to make their settlements and show their ledger balances is arriving. The sea son for clerks and laborers to save up their money ard get ahead in life is always at hand. This Fall our people will be ahead once more and it behooves them to think now of saving up their money. With this aim in view, we commend to all our read ers and their friends, the Augusta Savings Bank, at No. SH, Broad St, Augusta, Ga., which is already well known and patron ized by our people/. This is a safe, pros perous and well-managed corporation, which secures deposits on favorable terms and pays interest. Its accounts are writ ten up every six months," when interest is added to the principal and compounded. Land and security investments are good in their way, but in a time of need for j money, the fixed investments must be dis posed of sometimes at a sacrifice, before the cash can bo realized; bat in a good Savings Institution like the Augusta Sav ings Bank, the money is always obtaina b'e at once, dollar for dollar, besides inter est, so that for the working classes and people of small means-, the Savings Bank is the best investment in lhe| world. Capt. Joseph S. Bean," t bedwell, known Cashier, ? acquainted with many of our people and on calling at his office he will be glad to give them any information, or by writ ing lo him, he,will send circulars or give any advice. The manager of thie paper has had a long banking intercourse with the Augusta Savings'Bank, and from his personal knowledge he hopes the numer ous readers among whom this journal cir culates will patronize and gel the benefit of the Augusta Savings Bank.

Cobb's new fall advertisement, in another column. And this very passage gives tho keynote to Mr. Cobb's popularity and success. He has ever eschewed shoddy in his goods and sensationalism in his newspaper announce ments. In Cobb's business th^re ia not a particle of bosh. On thc contrary, dig nity, solidity and reliability claim him as their own. For two weeks past his mer cantile headquarters have been an ex tremely busy scene. Goods, in almost all lines, have been pouring in day by day. And unpacking and arranging has been pushed fal" into the night. In his great specialties, for instance Shoes and Cloth ing, Cobb is this season more perfect than ever-if possible.

Mr. Hart in New York. Mr. Alvin Hart is now in his second week in New York, busy day and night in selecting such a stock of fall and winter goods as the present fine crops in Edgefiold County amply justify him in buying .'God Knew the Best."

Wo hope she will pardon us for having forgotten Ihe matter for three or fonr weeks. That Flag Drill.

A3 regards this mysterious death, nar rated hy us last week, we have been able to learn very little more-almost nothing in fact. The jury of inquest was to have met again on Friday afternoon last. If they did so, we have not heard anything of their proceedings. Lodged lu Jail. Milledge Harris, tho negro man who lately assaulted and desperately wounded another negro man in the ne ighborhood of Ridge Spring, and for whom the Governor offered a reward of fifty dollars, bas been arrested and lodged in our jail. He waa sought for and caught by two or three young men of Ridge Spring. Narrow Gauge News. County-Commissioner J. C. H. Rauch, who is in our town to-day, Tuesday lat, tells us that the three narrow gauge com mittees met at Denny's on Saturday last, and developed facts highly favorable to the building of the road, exhibiting some handsome subscriptions, based, however, upon the route the road may take. Desolate and Dreary. A note just received from our young friend, Mr. Henry G. Wright, of Clinton ward, who is now at the New Brighton Hotel on Sullivan's Island, says that the desolation and confusion on the island, re sulting from the late cyclone, are still most distressing-apparent at every crook and turn. Nike Kempsou's Cora Field. As Editor Aull, of the Prosperity lie porter, journeyed this way to the railroad meeting at Denny's, he looked at the crops along the way, and says : "I could not see that the crops were suffering as much as some would have us believe. Mr. Mike Kempson has one of the prettiest fields of .corn I think 1 ever saw. About 75 or 100 acres all in one piece, and almost per fectly level, lt was a beautiful sight. The cotton I thought was looking well all along." At Span n's. We closed an interesting meeting at Spann's Church on the 12th August, re sulting in five additions and eight or ten conversions, and I trust the meeting was a great benefit to the Church Wo were assisted by Bro.

We find this in one of our exchange* of very recent date : " Notice has been re ceived by Borne of the numerous heirs of the Jennings estate, in England, that, a hearing of this famous case will come up very soon in London." Cheapness ot' thc Narrow -cringe. President Mitchell gave tho Augusta and Edgefiold narrow gauge railroad meet ing at Denny's the following data for their consideration and encouragement: Thal the Augusta, Gibson and Sandcrsville nar row gauge road;had been built and rquip ped, as far aa completed, ata cost of $4,GOO per mile. Chickens and Sweethearts. Or sweethearts and chickenp ! The Ab beville Messenger has; th is. Il refers to Messrs. Frank Wardlaw and Geo.

It may be thal "coming events cast their shadows before." Hiss Abney. Mies Abney, of Saluda, a niece of Joel R. Abney, Esq, of Kinard'e Ferry, bas returned to the family of 0. L. Dobson, Esq., in which she taught during the first six or se ven months of the present year. Both socially and professionally, Miss Abney is such a lady as our community is always glad lo welcome. The Porcelain Factory. Mr. Jervey will send to the New Orleans. Exposition some handsome pieces of porcelain from his factory at Miles'a Mill, below Trenton. If our read ers could see the style of ware now made at the old "jug factory," they would open their eyes in unbounded admiration. Mr. Jervey, of course, has a new furnace, modeled upon the best plans, and new im plements of all sorts. An Emphatic Backing. . Capt. Ben'. Tillman, of Edgefield, made a speech that suited the farmers. Says the Marlboro Democrat: "Almost every sentence was responded to with prolonged applause, showing that thc farmers were en rapport with the scathing irony which he dealt out to the political close corpora tions which exclude the farmers from nearly all positions of trust and responsi bility in the administration ot thc Slate departments and the college " Mr. Peter Mc Ung h. We aro extremely sorry lo know thal this most estimable and industrious ci Li/..rr. -tho head of a family held in affectionate esteem throughout oar community-is very unwelL indeed-apparently going steadily down Ihe hill. It will be rometn bored that a year ago, in manipulating a colton gin, Mr. McHugh lost his left arm. He has never well rallied, either physic ally or in spirit, from this terrible blow. Under present circumstances he and his well beloved family have the tenderest' sympathy of all oar people. .'Tho Negro in Ancient History." The colored problem ?H an interesting and a puzzling one. And, what comes still nearer to us, Macedonia colored church, in ouT~tcrWn, is a worrtry and a needy ono. Therefore wo asl: tho patron age of our people, white as well as black, for a lecture lo be delivered in our Court. HOUBO on Wednesday evening of next week, in behalf of the said church. Thia lecture is lo be delivered by the Kev. M. W. Gilbert, a young and intelligent col ored man of Sumter, in our own Stale. At present, however, it we mistake not, ho is a student of Madison College, some where in the State of New York. His subject will be "Thc Negro in Ancient History." Price of admission, 10 cents. We think our people will like this lecture; and we earnestly hope that Macedonia Church will be benefitted. Little J olio Ralnsford Norris. From the Augusta Evening News. ? Mr. Markwalter, our well known marble dealer, bas just added another laurel to hi? artistic brow. On yes terday he placed over the grave of little John Rainsford Norris, in the city cemetery, one of the prettiest and moat life like statuettes to be seen in that city of the dead. This monu ment is of pure Italian marble, and was designed and chiseled at Mr. Markwalter's yard in this city. It is most appropriate in every respect and reflects the highest skill on the work- ' man. It will repay any lover of art to visit and inspect the beauties of this statuette. These are Solid Facts.

For the Advertiser. Toe Condition of Our Country Schools. It is a lamentable faut that our peo ple have allowed our country schools to go down to their present state. No period bf our nation's histoiy has en joyed superior advantages for the ac quisition of a collegiate education to the present; but it is a etern reality that our primary schools have been sadly neglected. Let us first find the cause of this low condition of the schools, and then seek the remedy. The great cause is that the majority of our people do not appreciate the importance of an education. They forget that educa tion is essential to success in any vo cation of life. They do not realize th? fact^that in the future the respon sibilities of our proud old State must devolve upon some ol our youths, and that, without education, they can not keep herjn^ her .present proud condition. The next^cauee is, the patrons of our schools will not pay a salary suf ficient to employj a 'good teacher. Nbw when )we come to the remedy, there are three ^parties concerned : the patrons, the teachers, and the Bcholars. Patrons, remember that good teachers make good scholars, and that a good teacher can command a good salary, anywhere. Do not em ploya teacher for $25 or-$30 per month, and at the end of the session say " it's that much thrown away;" but double that amount. Employa person who teaches not for money alone, but one who takes an interest in your children, and an interest in the advancement of education. Em ploy your teacher, and then let him do the teaching. Do not tell him how this and that should be done; for if you think he does not understand his business, do not employ him. Teachers, when you teach, teach' your scholars that " to know is worth' millions;" arouse their ambition for an education. Teach them the im portance of an education as you would teach them the necessity . of honesty and truthfulness. Scholars, when you go to school, go to learn. Do not go to the school room to play ; it is th place for study. Realize what yo go to school for, and improve every moment. Remember that more ol your success depends on your ow?? ef?brte than on the effort ol' your teacher; for un lesa you study, you cannot learn. If your teacher makes you study hard, do not get 'cross grained;' -it is for your own good. I hope every teacher, patron and scholar will road this, and give it careful consideration ; for unless we improve our schools, they will soon be iii a deplorable condition. SUL-M .i*LA. liff ry i Mrs. Dr. Strother, of Batesburg, has a bananatree bearing fru? I. In Memory of Airs. Augusta Wise Shaw. Jg have passed boyoud the shadows, is a righi of the dead, and suould prompt the living t<> emulato tho example which lives ami may bear fruit for generations to come. Among tho wortliest of tho worthy who have recently passed from dual li unto lifo, may lie recorded tho nanto of MRS. AUGUSTA WISH SHAW, consort of our esteemed follow citizen, DR. Hmm A. Su AW, of Corryton. Descended from one of tho old and established families of Edgetield, she was eminontly worthy of the good name she bore. From childhood on to the last, quiet, modest and unassuming, almost to a fault, she lived for others, letting her footsteps abide within ber own home, and forgetting not her duty to husband and children, neighbor or friend, liver and always frail and delicate as the Mow er that fadeth, she was a sufferer for many years, in which she endured tho |l ravages of a painful'and incurable mala dy with a patience and fortitude which entitled her to the nanto of heroine. Even the mere mention of some of tho ills she bore without a murmur, would be pain ful to those who witnessed it. " Her life was indeed a painful passage o'er a rest less flood." In a retrospect of her life and suffer ing, we may wondorat tho ways of Prov i dence, which are indeed mysterious and4? past finding out; but if affliction and jj {iain for half a lifetime be as "whom Hep ovetb He also chasteneth," theu must she be loved as one of the jewels that adorn the crown. "The first dark day of nothingness, The last of danger and distreas" ls past, and death has laid his icy fin gers upon a heart where once each fond affection dwelt, and "The soul, of origin divine, Cod's glorious image freed from clay, In heaven's eternal sphere shall shine A star of day !" To the bereaved family and loving household, upon which tho shadow of death has of late fallen heavily and re peatedly, aud where " Voice after voice hath died away Once in tho dwelliug heard," the sympathies of the community go out with the hope that they wili lind comfort in the belief that, " Heaven oft in morey smites o'on when the blow Severest is."
