T. Adams, Organizer. Mr. Owdom Urges Improvement O? Augusta-Ninety Six Road. Mr. Editor: I would like to say something about the public road from Augusta via Edgefield to Ninety Six. From Augusta to Edgefield it should be ' layed in the sandy places and re-surveyed a part of the way from Edgefield to Nine ty Six. It should be graded and contents put at all water places, so that autos and such machines would not have such jolts. Mr. Gaines has suggested this movement after he made one trip. Then people that have to make merry should help to put this road HO it will be a pleasure to travel inste d of being such a hardship on man and beast. Our ancestors pulled over these hills and through these sand beds for the past 100 years, so the only .way to get this in shape is io go to ?work on it. Everybody would be benefitted and not any one hurt ex cept other places which may be get ting Edgefield's trade now. Au gusta should give liberally to this good road movement as it would send many that way that are not going now. The masses of the peo ple don't generally go ahead them selves. They have been waiting until some good roads oolitisian comes trying to ride into office promising them that they will look especially after their interests, but all such has been a failure. So we must po to work and have this thing done ourselves. As your old home is on this road and you have always shown a desire to help in a good cause and when you come this way you may be called on to make a Sunday school address and if you have come a very bad road you won't feel much like making it.

Somebody Will Have to An swer it The papers tel! of a white man, having a wife and a half grown son, i who was killed near Aiken Monday night by being strack as he sat on the railroad track-under the infla- ' ence of liquor.

The following aecount of a school closing which was published in the issue of The Advertiser of January 5, 1859, will be of interest to many of our readers. Mr. Editor: I beg yoa to grant me a little space in your columns to 9peak of a concert given by Mr. Moses and hiR pupils of the Oak Grove Academy, two miles from Kirksey's Cross Roads, Edge field district, S. C. The concert took place in the Olive Branch church near the school house, on Thursday night the y.3rd of December. As one of the auditors I feel it would be un just not to make some publie men tion of the charming scenery and music of that evening. The home was lighted with un common brilliancy and a fashion able and appreciative assemblage partook of the mental feast which was gratuitously offered in due time. In front of the pulpit a large platform was erected upon which two fine pianos rested. In the back ground a frame work stood, from which hung a red curtain and sev eral handsome oil paintings, the work, I think, of the music teacher. The whole was interlaced with sprigs of cedar. Soon, in due order from behind the curtain came forth twelve beau tiful maidens from twelve to seven teen years of age, dressed in elegant ta6te. Their charming presence in spired me with the idea of angela come to whisper sweet things to us. The playing and singing of these pupils indicated fine taste and effi ciency in the teacher, and native talent and application in the pupils. The duets plaj'ed at the same time by four scholars on two pianos went off with spirit and precision. "These duets were accompanied by the teacher on the violin which added Lo the attraction. The songs, duets and choruses were judiciously selected and charm ingly performed. "Gentle Annie" is a beautiful and plaintive song which was sweet ly expressed by Miss Emma An drews, who pleased her hearers with many more songs and polkas on the piano. ''The world is full of beauty when the heart is full oC love," "Ol Wil lie we have missed you," "Would I were with thee," "The shepherd boys lament" with beatiful echo, were most charmingly given by Miss Harriet Devore, who also ex hibited much skill in "Hoars there were" with variations, new year's aohoUisoh, etc., on the piano. mer Store \ A STORE W We have many fresh, dairr >u go.

Cora "Listen to the mocking bird," wa? sweetly sung by Miss Beaufort De JTore, who played admirably the "Gem of Scotland," with variations, "Yankee Doodle," with variations Lola polka, etc. Miss Beaufort plays with great spirit and a beautiful touoh. Miss Ida DeVore sang like a sweet little bird "Come to the old oak tree," which was repeated in chorus by the interesting class. The very fine duets "What are the wild waves saying," "0, call my brother back," were excellently sung and played by Misses Harriet and Beaufort DeVore. "Uncle Sam's farm," "A few days" "Come maidens come," were bravely and beautifully expressed by Eliza Bailey, who also played "Rosalie ?schottisch" and other things finely on the piano. Mus Martha Stalnaker and Miss Ida DeVore played duets handsome ly together on the piano. The pleasing dcet "When night comes over the plains," ?was sweet ly sung by Misses Emma and Mar tha Andrews. Although Miss Beaufort DeVore had not reoovered from a severe cold she pang "Little more cider" to the gi ?at pleasure of the audi ence. The choruses "Sparkling and bright," "Merry month of May," "How dear is the day," "We greet with joy this happy dayy' "Come away school mates," 4 Come out out with me on this fine morning" etc., were all admirably performed by the beautiful twelve. Mr. Moses occasionally played and sung to the high gratification of all. Just before the closing march on two pianos and violin, Miss Ida DeVore, in behalf of the pupils of Oak Grove Academy, with abrief and graceful speech, presented Mr. Moses a beautiful gold pen and pen cil and an elegant book in token of esteem and appreciation of his ser vices as their music teacher. In'fine the whole entertainment was highly delightful to all who were present. ' Mr. Moses, from the New Eng land states, already three years in this country, is an acoomplished,effi cient and experienced musician, landscape and portrait painter. Mir' N. S.

Solicitor Hill of Spartanburg county, has issued a call to the foreman of the grand jury and all the magistrates in his office tomorrow to discuss methods of enforcing the criminal laws. Sell ing cocaine and carrying concealed weapons are two matters he proposes to go into particularly. This appears to be a very sensible thing to do, doesn't it? Yet have you heard of its ev er being done before? Why shouldn't all officials and the people generally wake up and put some ginger into law en forcement? Isn't it about time to sit up and take notice instead of shirking the enforcement of law against crime!" We refer to the attitude of our people generally.-Beaufort Gazette.
