Albcrgolti will re oumo tho exercises of her school on Monday, September 1st, 1879. Wupn a young fellow goes fifteen or twenty miles lu tho country to at- j lent} preaching the reasonablo infer ence is that there is a young lady in the case. We heard a gentleman say the oth er day that the lot of horses which Mr. B? Frank Slater now has in his lot is the finest over brought to this market. The Orange Light Pragoons, Capl. N. N. Ilaydcn commanding, were on parade last Saturday morning. Roth the turn-out and drill was creditable to officers and men. What about the opposition ticket | for Mayor and Aldermen? Speak out gentlemen 1 We'll take your **no sir, I thank ye" in our next Take your side so we may know it. Mr. W. N. Scovillc, of the firm of] Bull & Scovillc, left for the Northern market pn Tuesday morning to pur chase the fall stock of his house. We wish him a pleasant trip and a safe return to his family and friends. Attention Orange Jjigiit Dra goons.?There will be a company drill on the ?Qth instant at lOo'clook A.

Mr. Theodore Kohn left our town on Wednesday morning last for the North for the purpose of buying full sppplies of fall and winter goods. As enterprising and successful mer phants none excel these gentlemen. We wish for them a successful trip and a safe return home. Our readeis are informal that a large supply of lamps of every varie ty and style, will be received in a few days by Mr. S. A. Reeves. These lamps arc fine aud will bo sold cheap. Those wishing to buy will do well to want aud purchase one from Mr. Reeves. An interesting protracted meeting is in progress at Rocky Grove Bap tist Church. The pastor, Bev. Mr. Barton, assisted by Revs. Baggelt and Lawyer, are in attendance. Con eiders' je interest is being manifested ana it is to be hoped that groat good will be accomplished. Kortjoun's wagon has been busy this week hauling in quantities ofI goods, shipped on consignment to this place through the efforts of Friend Dick, who has been North for that purpose. His orders arc to sell at once, which will be done at low fig ures in order to make room for more. Wis learn that Dr. T. Raysor is Carrying on a revival meeting at Bethel, in his charge with good re sults. Also that Rev. Getsinger is seeing his labors culminating in u gracious revival at Antioch, a Bap tist Church in St. Matthews. Verily the strong-holds of Satan are being | enviroaed. The excursion train of Wcdnes day was a holiday affair. Bushing from the Atlantic, whore sweltering days and mosquito hunted nights ure ?cn?Oiiuble, it enters tho high mountain regions whero blankets and thick clothing ensure comfort. We can afford to stay where wo are, as it \a getting pleasant here now. We call the attention of little boys and foolish men who are in the habit Qf using sling-shots in the street to the evils of so dangerous * a pas time. There is an ordinanco of the town, wc believe, against the use of these dangerous toys and policemen are required to make arrests where this is violated. Mb. B. Frank Slater ic selling off bis iinc stock of iiorses very rapidly, and tboso who may want to invest in horse flesh bad better givo him an early call. The rico crop at this stage of its growth needs rain to dovclop and ma ture the grain. If the dooircd ceason comes tho crop will bo an abundant one throughout tho county. -:?:- i The public will bear in mind that tho School of Miss C. M. Evans will open on the first of September at tho residence of P. V. Dibble. The fav orable reputation of Miss Evans, bas ed on a long and successful experi ence in teaching, needs no comment from us. She deserves and ought to get a liberal sharo of public patron age. Mr. J. R. Nortis, formerly of Or angeburg and son of the minister, had his store house, at Abbeville, en tered on Wednesday night of last week and robbed, and a quantity of goods taken away. Entrance is sup posed to have been tuadc by a false key. No traces of the robber so far but the mailer ia being worked up by competent hands. The Fiugx Bale.?On Monday last, the 18th instant, Mr. J. F. Way brought to market the first bale of cotton of this year's crop. It weighed -MO pounds, classed middling, aud was 6old to Messrs. Bull & Scovill for 11 1-2 cents. This is ten days later than last year, the same gentle man having brought the first bale to market on the 8th of August, 18G8. We learn thai the dwelling of Mr. Henry L. Smoak, just across the river, was entirely destroyed by tire ou Wednesday night last at 1 o'clock. Little or nothing waa saved from the flames. The tiro is said to have originated from a fanner of ashes, which was left nncmpticd. This is a warning to our citizens as the same act of carelessness is common in the country; It is rumored thai the Republicans have nominated the following ticket for Mayor and Aldermen: George Boliver, Mayor; W. M. Sain, D. E. Smoak, J. A. Williams . and John Thompson, colored, Aldermen. Mes srs. Sain, Williams and Smoak arc Democrats and wc hope they will promptly repudiate this mongrel tick et by refusing lo allow their names to remain on it. Fror refill TuiiT^i.?Many of the powders and pastes now in the mar ket contain ingredients like pumice stone, charcoal, &c., which ought never to ho used for the purpose. Tho Snponaceons Tooth Powder is warranted to contain nothing in the least injurious, and has no equal for its purpose, as its flavor is plcasajit, is perfectly soluble in the mouth, and contains nothing gritty or rough for the teeth. For sale by Dr. J. G. Wannamaker. Our readers of St. Matthews and of the county arc reminded that Ihe school at St. Matthews' Academy will be open on Monday the 8th of September under Mr. J. B. O'Neal IloUoway. This is a first grade high school where pupils, boys and girls, will bo prepared for college or busi ness at as low rates as is possible in this couutry. Mr. Holloway's ability as a teacher is well known and needs no comment. .Send your children, it is the best legacy you can leave them. Oca readers who indulge in the iuxury of a lino cigar aro directed to the drug storo of Mr. S. A. Recvos, who has just received a lot of tho best we have ever tested. T hese cigars though fine, are cheap and sold by Dr. Reeves at $1.25 a box. The flavor is equal to that of cigars usual ly sold for five cents a piece. lie has excellent tobacco at 40 cents and up to suit everybody who wishes a good article. The best mustard we have ever tiicd is kept hero and cheap. Barbary Wright was brought be fore the Mayor's Court on Wednes day morning on a charge of keeping a disorderly house. She was sentenc ed to ten days imprisonment or pay 85. The fine was paid. Mily Hancock, boforo the same court ou a charge of fighting received the sninc sentence. Jinncy Bnltzegar, who was found cursing on the streets, was exhorted by his Honor, the Mayor, to do bet ter and sent adrift. Du. Thos. A. Elliott took advan tage of the excursion and left for Greenville on Wednesday. May he enjoy his visit and como back re freshed for these labors which to him arc discharged in love as much so as in duty to his profession. Among the other excursionists wero Mr. Jns. II. Fowlcs and - family, Oapt. M. Glover, Mr. Sam. Iiickenbakcr and daughters, Mr. L. II. Wannamaker, Miss R. S. Albergotti, Mrs. W. P. Brunson, and others whobo names v/e did not learn. We arc glad to noto ,tbat a very successful protracted mooting has just ended at Hebron Methodist Church, near Boiling Springs Camp ground. Eight accessions to tho Church and several conversions are the results of this meeting through the labors of Revs. Melton, John Inabinct and T. B. Boyd. We also learn that a similar meeting is in progress at Union in the cbargo of Bev. Mr. Clifton with tho prospect of great benefit to the community and Church. Let the good work go on. Gn.EEjNvij.LE, Cheater and other towns have their "Building and Loan Associations" which tend to build up theso towns, foster home enterprise, secure instructions, aud give com fortable homes to men of small means on the system of the "many a Dickie makeB the mucklc." Can't we have a building and loan association? Tho "Homo & Dower" agency with headquarters in Atlanta, an institu tion of the some kind, is lending money to improve farms and build homes. We call attention to the school no tico of Miss R. S. Albergotti in another column. This school claims the right of seniority in Oraugeburg, having been in successful operation during ami since the war, and has graduated a largo number of young ladies throughout the county, who willingly bear testimony to the thor oughness of instruction and plan of study pursued by this able teacher. Barents can do no better than patron ize tins weil known and first-class school. The worthy and efficient agent of the South Carolina Railroad at this place, Mr. T. ?. Dawaon, deserves the thanks of the excursionists on Wednesday lor his unremitting efforts in behalf of their comfort whilst in waiting for the train. This is espe cially just when it is considered what an amount of labor is involved in carrying out the instructions of Mr. Receiver Fisher. Report after report must bo made daily, weekly and monthly on the same subject, necessi tating long lines of figures, all tally ing aud balancing to the letter. Mb. B. M. X'ulsificr, of the Bostou Herald quotes the statement that the people of the United States pay ?700-, 000,000 a year for spirituous and fer mented liquors aud only 095,500,000 for education, and 818,000,000 for religion. "I had no idea we were such a thirsty people," he says ; "but I have heard a good deal of viituous indignation expressed because church property is exempted from taxation, and some of the States have come very near ruining themselves with expenoivo common schools. Sup pose we should all swear off for three years and wipo out the public debt." The revival which lias been in pro gress at the Methodist Church in this place was brought to a close on last Wcdndcsdny night amid the most solemn scene it has ever been our for tune to witness. So deeply was the people impressed with the sermon on "Bo ye also ready," preached by the Rev. Manning Brown, that when the call was made for penitents, very nearly half of the congregation went up for prayer and one joined the Church. Wo rcgrot tho necessity which closes a meeting so full ot promise for future good, but we trust tho work begun may continue until every one is brought within tho pale of the Church. Said a young lady to the editor a few evenings since, "My sweetheart is a farmer and has great, large corns in the palms of both hands. But though his hands arc hard, rough aud tanned, he has a kind and noble heart." Wo asked if the young swain had one hundred acres and a mule of his own. Tho reply was that he had two hundred acres and two mules. We pronounced him a bonanza king, and told our fair friend to catch him if she could. We advise all our lady readers to be on tho lookout for all such chances. Theso hardy plough men arc the independent sovereigns of tho land, and the salt of the eaith. Would there were more of them. How to Keep Up a Town.?Sell your building lots at reasonable fig ures ; if you can afford to do so, do nate a building lot for somo large business enterprise, and thoroby en hance the value of town property ; induce business men to locate in your own town ; patronize the merchants of your own town; speak woll of worthy public enterprises; if any thing should be undertaken that may bo of benefit to the town, do not speak ill of it to others because you happen to bo prejudiced against it; speak well to strangers of your town and its people; encourage your local newspaper by subscribing for, adver tising iu and paying for it. About twenty-five of our citizens,] ladies and gentlemen, joined tho ex-1 eursion for Iho up-country and moun tains on Wednesday last. We saw among diem the venerable Dr. KUiolt, and trust that the strengthening at mosphere ajid the delightful scenery of the mountains will improve his physical condition and enable him to return witli tho promise of many years added to his valuable lifo. A large crowd of friends and relatives were at the depot to sco the excursion, off and bid them God-speed iu theii>| search after rcctcation, health and pleasure. Wo wish thorn a quick pas sago, a delightful sojourn and a safe return to their homes and dear onos. The election for Mayor and Al dermen of the town of Orangeburg to serve for tho ensuing two years from the 9th day of September, 1879, will take place ut tho Engine IJouso on the Oth of Scptenibor. The Board of I Managers, consisting of Messrs. T. C. Albcrgotti, C. L. Jones and Henry F. Dickson, will also constitute the Board of Registration of tho voters of the town. Books for registration pur poses will be opened at the Engine House on the 5th, Glh and 8th days of September. All bar-rooms will bp eloscd at G o'clock P. M. on Monday, tho 8th day of September, and re main closed until G o'clock A. M. oni tho lOlli day of September. We learn that Maj. J. J. Sallcy visited the counties of Lexington, Edgcftold and Laurens last week and brings back flattering and cheering reports of matters and things general ly. Both cotton and corn are small but the former has time enough to make a satisfactory yield. Maj. Sal.cy reports the farmers of tho up-country as being highly pleased with the "No Fence Law.'' The peoplo make inore milk and butter than they ever did before. One of the blessings of the law, not a mean one eithpr, is that one knows exactly where to find his cows without losing ever so much time hunting then). One man will make two bags of cotton on, his old fence rows. "Ye Olde Felkes Conccrte," as ad vertised, came ofTon last Friday even ing at the Court House. As was ex pected a largo crowd had gathered long before the lime announced for the opening of the exer^ object for which it was, of tho Edisto Rifles,, leading and taking anlce of a brilliant si was expectation more thau in this instantancc. 1 mewns admirably conceived; l dully executed by every one to whom a part was assigned, The appear ance of the room carried one back in the past more than one hundred years and called vividly to mind tho man ners, customs and habit of a people ! und an age wc have learned to veuer-i ato because of the simplicity that characterized them, and of a history which is the foundation stone of our present civilization qnd material progress. To uee and live oven a few hours amid such surroundings was worth tho fee charged for admit tance, and so every one who witness ed the couccrt considered it. We have heard no other opinion express ed but that it was "a grand affair," ("brilliant success," "happily con ceived," and "did credit to tho noble actors who took part in the atTair and sustained those parts bo creditably throughout tho evening. Of course the community is indebted to Mr. Obidiah Primrose, whoso musical genius could be seen in every one of them second only to their aucicnt "Songe Teacher." The community, however, will pardon us for our mak-; ing special mention of Mrs. J. A. II. and Miss B., whoso voices wore plain tively sweet a"d wonderfully full yet musical throughout their pieces. We don't know that we have ever heard better singing and so general through out tho company. Tho little boys and girls deserve special mention for tho excellent manner in which they performed their part which was no in | considerable item in the programmo land afforded Obidiah Primroso a j splendid opportunity to display his wonderful talent, Orangcburg is pe culiurly blessed with musical taleut and why may wo not have frequently such occasions of amusomcnt here as else whore.
