Our thanks are duo Mrs. F. Liv ikgaton for repeated favors in the way of garden vegetables sent from time to time. The dual party which left town last week have not yet had need of a surgeon, but aro amply supplied with coffee j.nd biscuits. The regular quarterly meeting of tb^eung mon who insist on show ing off Cihoir "fine looks" in front of the door? of the different churches every S^n'day morning immediately after^orvicc: "Oh! why should tho spirits of mortals feel proud, when sta/nding In front of a churoh in a ?rowd to stare at the ladies like frol icsome mules, and tho ladies exclaim, ?that's a fine lot of fool I'" Ok Tuesday last, the team of Mr. George H. Cornelson, whilo entering the gate at his farm, took fright from an approaching vehicle, ran.fl/Uj? up7 setting the wagon on a .mqquro heap painfully injured .colored driver; The wagon .and .toam was uninjured. sW..? notice that Judge Glover has commenced building up one of his lota on Ci lover Street, antl learn that ho jproposcs \fO qrecl a nie? dwelling upon it. This is destined to Jbo the .favorite part of our growing;.tow," and .ought to be built up only v,;ith neat residences. Don't forget to stop at the popu lar storo of Mr. J. \V. Moseloy, at the corner of Railroad Avenuo and Russell street. Fresh supplies of all articles in tho line of geneial mer chandize are received weekly and sold at as low pricco as can bo pur chased elsewhere. Mr. A. F. II. Dukes, of Branch ville, is preparing .to enlarge hi? store and otherwise arrange for a largo stock of fall and winter goods. Mr. Pukes is evidently one of the most enterprising merchants of our sister town and is determined^ to keep abreast with the times. "Uno" writing from St. Matthews, under date July 30, says : "Mr. Win. Shumakcr, who has been clerking for Mr. J. W. Buycke, of our town, died of typhoid fever at his father's resi dence, about thiitecn miles from tho village. He was a member of the Lewisvillo Baptist Church." We are informed by Mr. Webb Bull, agent for Mr. Hess Andrews, that he has sold from the fourth of July to this date about 2,817 water melons at an average price of tCjii cents per melon. Two hundred and eighty dollars is no mean sum to be realized by one wan from the sale of such a crop, Our enterprising young merchant, Mr. A. B, Walker, invites the.citi/.cns of our county to call at his place of business on Russell Street and they will hear of something advantageous to themselves and families. Mr. Walker keeps a large stock of family Groceries which he sells remarkably cheap. A Memphis paper announces the fact that a beautiful young lady, the only daughter of wealthy parents, bad eloped with tho editor of a country newspaper. We feel better since read ing the above, as it indicates that the young ladies have at last recovered from the coachman mania and aspires to the nobility again, Ojjr friend Theodore Kohn's Dry Goods' Emporium has become so well known and popular that even the beasts of the field know of its ex istence, as was attested on Wednes day morning last by a visit of a calf to bis store, whether in search of a companion or dry-goods tho Demo crat is unable to say. The Hampton and Junior Base Ball Clubs hnd another fciendiv tilt on Thursday, tho 25th ult., in which the Juniors were beat by a score of 20 or 18 in favor of tho Hamptons. The game was hotly contested all the way through, but the fates seemed to be against the Juniors and the Hamp tons came off victors as above stated. At the last meeting of tho St. Paul's Sunday School Missionary So ciety, Messrs. Willie Stokes, of Ten nessee, and Fred Dibble, of our town, delivered effective addresses before the children. Mr. Stokes has since left for his homo in Tennessee, where he will enter upon his duties as teach er of the youth of bis adopted State. The Rev. Wm. Chaplin after ser vices at Ebenezer Church recently drove to his destination and left bis buggy under a tree. During dinner a streak of lightning went for tho buggy, and after making kindling wood of one shaft went into the ground. How would the Reverend gentleman have fared if ho had not left? Oya thanks aro due Mr. A. Jour oaln for a fine sample of his varioties of grapes, including the Concord, Hartford Prolific, Isabella, Delaware and tho Perkins. We pronounce the latter the best table grape, thin skin, tender and delicate flavor. Mr. Jour dain, wo learn, has quite a collection of grapes, fruit trees and flowers of tke most improved varieties. We deeply regret to announce the death of Mrs. C. C, Wightman, which occurred on last Thursday night at tho house of her relative, Mr. S. R. Mcllicuamp. We learn that Mrs. Wightman was an invalid for some time and was on a visit to our town with the hope of restoring in somo measure her health. Her remains were carried to Charleston for inter ment. A match game of base b#ir,ff.as played last Saturday afternoon be tween the AtfjlaVic Club, pf Aikcn, and tho fOrango C,lnb of opr town. Tho Athletics gained an.easy victory, as our boys wcro.uppracticed, and be sides, several of ;tbe .best ,mon on their nine were ftbjjcnt. [Under the circumstances wo think they did very well. The score stood 34 to 20 in favor of tho Athletics. -_?_ Photographs.?Mr. F. A. Schif fley will again open his photographic ,t.ent in our town in about oue week or ten days. He has made a tour through the Santec section and from thenco to Georges' Station in Collo ton. Our pcoplo will take due no tice of bis return in our midst, and those wishing good photographs or ferrotypes had bolter avail them selves of the opportunity. yfji nto glad to ,bo able to inform our farmers that the sugar refinery of Mr. Geo. II. Cornelson is well on its way to completion. A part .of the1 machinery is already on the ground, and the balance will arrive next week. Mr. Cornelson assures us that he will be ready in full time for the maturing crop. Wo hope this en terprise will receive the patronage it deserves. Thorn arc un.told benefits in it for the farmer. The following gentlemen constitute the Board of Health : Dr. A. S. Hy drick, Chairman, Messrs. Jqjin Lucas., John A. Zoigler, F. B. Livingston, W. II. Perryclear, J. J. Str.eot, J. M. Brunson, T. C. I;Iubbell, and Dr. T. R. Malonc, Clerk. An immediate, thorough, searching and rigid inspec tion will be had at once and it be comes the duty of the citizens to .clean up, and bo prepared for a favor able report from the Board. The "young folks'' of the town had a "sociable" the other evening at the residence of Captain Jeffords, and we understand they had a delightful time. A representative of the Demo ckat tried to get bis name on the list but was promptly ruled out by the managers of the affair as being too "old," and lie retired consoling him self with the fact that "Ye Okie Folkcs" would have a concert soon, at which ho would be entitled to a full hand. We copy the following paragraph from the Greenville News; "Wo un derstand that Messrs. llowell & Wicnges, of, Fort Motte, S. C, have patented a combination or detacha ble hoc, rake, &c, which is said to bo very unique and tasty in design, surpassing anything of the kind ever brought out. They are arranging for their manufacture, and expect to have them on the market soon. They have styled their invention tho "Dixie," a name wo love. We wish them suc cess in their enterprise," Another large consignment of goods received at Kortjohn's Bed Hive Store on Thursday, and as usu al a genuine rush took place, every one being anxious to got the first chance at the bargains offered. We were amused at tho general confusion and mixture of these consignments, and wonder how and where Mr. Kortjohn's agents pick up the novel tics shipped, and the difference in the style and oharncter of the goods. For instance, bibles and novels come in one package, cashmere and jeans, tinware and dress goods, crockery and ribbons, glassware and clothiug, ladies' fans and ink, pistols and hymn books, but by the master hand of Mr. Kortjohn and bis assistants they arc 60on arranged in their differ ent department, and out of appalling disorder come many things of beauty and great bargains, One of the most melancholy deaths it has been our painful duty to re cord was that of Mr. Irvin A. Till, which occurred at his home in Or ange Township on last Saturday. While roaching a mule a few days previous ho took a chew of tobao2o, and immediately after be felt a prick ing sensation in the throat. Soon the glands of the neck began to en large, and a low form of inflamma tion insucd, followed by Septicaemia and death was tho final result. Mr. Till was about forty years of age and up to the circumstances mentioned was a strong, healthy man, The fun eral services wore performed by Rev. S. T. Mailman, who preached a sin gularly appropriate sermon on the occasion, He was buried in tho fam ily grave yard with Mnsonio honors in the prosence of an unusually large concourse of bis friends and neigh bors. Mr. Till leaves, a wife and several small children to mourn their loss, but, being at his death a mem ber of the Knights of Honor, with tbo certainty of a competency suffi cient to keep them from want. -;Tho;1VIunjQlpal JEieojipn. .OuANiiKiiuau, S. C.,. July 28. tEdftor. Qrangf!ibiir? J?emQcrat : Having Been in the .Orange:burg JTimes last week a communication proposing the re-election of the pre sent isc^ni?siitfi of the offices cf 2>?a** or and Aldermen, aud being one who opposes tbeir re-election as a whole, with your permission will give a rea ! son for objecting. Of course what I" say I do not ,ii}te,?cl as personal, but to refer to tfiem ps public servants, whose actiob? I feel at liberty to.crit icise. By law we aro entitled to one Mayor and four Aldermen, but it has been the practice with the good peo ple of Orangeburg for the last six years to content themselves (for what reason this Deponent ,sayoth not) with, one Mayor, three Aldermen and one ?gurc-head. It's true these' figure-heads have been respectively an Abraham, a Washington, and a Charles I; but they have retrograded in intellect and aro not what their nnulcs years ago would have signified. This is my first and greatest objec tion to the re-election of tho present Council. I am fully persuaded that it will lake five good heads &o run this government of ours, and the; lack of one for the last six years may account for the complaints against Council. We, therefore, suggest that we have no moro Jigure-heads on the Board of Aldermen for policy sake, but that we be prompted by principle and place men in nomination with bxajrm ajud experience capable of dis charging the duties of the cilices. Let us run straight in by running "straighout-out," which is the "re deeming Southern policy." We want a Council more in prncti eal sympathy with the Fire Depart ment than any we b^rc bad for years, and one that will radically change the present police system .which we view as a practical failure. Strang gers characterize the town as the "noisest they ever visited." Where the fault lies exactly we do not know ; it must, however, bo with the Council aud policemen. We want an Alderman for the mid dle portion of the town, which is not represented, aud has no one whose duty it is to have the laws executed, there being at present tbreo al the railroad end and two at the Brough ton-street end of town. Jn short, wo want a public-spirited Council, one that will perfect and keep in order pld and good enter prises before undertaking now ones ; sec that the Fire Department pros pers, and give us a police system that will insure to decent people the use of their piazzas at night. We had hoped that the truthful wail of "Sam Sloppy" would bring about a reform ; but alas 1 poor Orangeburg, always "behind time." We agree with the correspondent that the nominations should be made by the Democratic Club, out he waives party principles when he proposes that the Democratic Club nominate the "present incum bents." Joe. -1-1? r\~....?., Coin Editor Orangeburg Democrat: It is high time for our farmers to prepare for our next Annual County Fair, to be held in Orangeburg on j the 20th, 80th and 31st days of Octo ber next. With tho farmers and stockholders of the Agricultural Association rests the suocesB or failure of the exhibi tion, and it may be added, the chief I benefits of the highest success accrues I to them. Thoso who have sufficient interest should hasten to order prem ium list and regulations by which they may bo greatly aided in their endeavors to promote tho uscfullncsa of the Fair. With suitable effort the exhibition of 1879 may be made Ibe grandest and most profitable in re sults of any previously held in the county. The Directors of the Assc elation are exerting themselves to make the coming Fair an honor and p-' lo to our county. Let us hope then that tho farmers and citizens of our grand old county will second the efforts of the managors of our Fair Association by preparing for exhibi tion the products of the farm, garden and orchard, to attend themselves and to urge their neighbors ?o attend ; also to bring their wives and chil dren. Let us have a grand gathering from every corner of our county; and at tho same time we want our iriends of our neighboring counties to come and see what we arc doing in Orangeburg in advancing the ag ricultural and material interest of our county. Premium list can be ob tained by applying to John L. I leid t man, Orangeburg, S. C. W. F. B^kton. At a mooting of tue City Council, held on tho 30th ult., tho Board of Health was requested to thoroughly re-inspect the yards and promises of the town and report to the Mayor on 'next Monday. The .petition for a Marketwas referred to Messrs. Albert gottj, Sain and Izlar to ascertain the (;prpbable .cost.of erecting a suitable structure and the. purchasing of a lot for said purpose and to ascertain whether the ta-x-na??r? .of .tho town would recommend the additional .tax for that purpose. The trees in the middle of Railroad Avenue between) Russell Street and the depot were or-' dcred removed. Managers of eiec-j tion were appointed,, due notice of which >\ill he given at the proper time. {The town pump tjvas ordered to be repaired or a new pump obtain ed. The County Commissioners it was thought should have an elevator, or pump in tho weil/Qn the.Court House Square. Wii: think the management of the I South Carolina Railroad by Receiver f Fisher is most excellent, and if those' most interested would keep him at its head after it passes out of his hands as Receiver, wc think the road would soon become valuable property in" stead of dead capital as it now is. Mr. Fisher is a ?rst-c-l&as business man, and understands ,the manage ment of railroads thoroughly. Market Report. Corrected Weekly dy J. C. Pike, cotton.
