During the excitement a bold thief succeeded in carrying away fiom the burning house several surh weighty articles as a stove, bed, two large rocking chairs, etc. Mr. Couch went to Augusta today to gather together the remainder of his domestic Lires and Penates, and when he returns to Bainberg will bring Mrs. Cbuch with him. An Absent Minded Man. A gentleman who lives a fewmiles from town, well known to < everybody in 1 he county, hut wh< se < name, for obvious reasons, we shall suppress, rode into Bum berg lust Tuesday, and like a good horseman ? tied his nag to a fence, and proceeded to transact ihe business that brought him hither. Having fin- 1 ished this, he loafed about town nn- < til near night, when a neighbor, who was here in a buggy, gave him a ride home. When he finallv reached his place, he suddenly remembered that he had gone to tonn horseback, and thai bis charger was still tied to the fence, ? wondering, no doubt, what had he- I come of its master. When the truth ' dawned upon him he trudged back t i along the dusty road, limited up his I horse, mounted the animal, and rode I ! home, a wry much disgusted man, ' and firmly resolved to hereafter keep his truant mind under better con- 3 trol. 1 1 Sprinsrtowu Sprays. At the last meeting of the Spring- J town Baptist Church, the Rev. Win. 0. Rice, D. D, was again unani. I mo&sly elected to fill that pulpit 1 another year. I th;nk these people have shown their appreciation of his I services by paying the greater part 1 of his salary. Some of the voting 1 ladies, led by Miss Carrie Free, have gone to work and raised the f funds, and put new glass in the 1 church windows, and the Sunday school ha* added a nice stove, so you I see they are preparing for the win- n ter. It has been a common practice for f some vandals to amuse themst lws I shooting out the window glass and desecr.it ing the tombstones and t monuments generally. I think it (. would now he wise for the church officers to take some step by which this diabolical practice can be stopped. I I notice an account of the Barn- (well Baptist Association, and that '' its next meeting will be held in f Bamberg- There is nothing that " adds so much to the interest of 0 these meetings its good music, and " as Batnherg is a peculiarly favored " town, when it comes to liue mnsicians, it is expected that something unusually tine will he given. Now just here let me say to the Barn b hergians that they may look out for a very 'swell" pull' in "Notes from the Field,'* in the Baptist Fourier, for the}r have a gifted writer, who n wields a facile pen and will be on A hand (D.

How sad ! e< Why can't au agricultural society T 3e formed and get up a Bamberg H bounty Fair? I can think of no 11 tetter plan for its advancement than p for our county papers, The Herald ti jspecially, to boom the enterprise. With such a successful planter as ^ Senator Mayfield as president, it 3onld net be otherwise than a sue T 3ess. I hope the county press will w igilate this subject. Occasional. |j ?. ? Geo.
