OHANGEMJItQ, S. C. august 22, 1879. Those huge tree roots on the rail road avenue are both dangerous and nosjghtjy. Miss Annie A. Albergotti will re-1 Bumc tho exercises of her school on Monday, September 1st, 1879. Wupn a young fellow goes fifteen j or twenty miles in the country to at tend preaching the reasonable 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 Iiis lot is the finest ever brought to this market. The Orange Light Pragoons, Capt. N. N. Ilayden commanding, were on parade hi3l Saturday morning. Both the turn-out and drill was creditable to officers and men. What about the opposition ticket for Mayor and Aldermen ? Speak out gentlemen l We'll take your "no sir, I thank ye" in our next Take your side so wc may know it. Mr. W. N. Scoville, of the firm of Bull & Scoville, left for the Northern market pn Tuesday morning to pur chase the fall stock of his house. We wisji him a pleasant trip and a safe return to his family and friends. Attention Orange Light Dra goons.?There will be a company drill on the QQth instant at 10 o'clook A; M. Members will ho punctual. JJy onjpr of N? N? Hoyden, Captain commanding. J. S. Rowe, Secretary. Mr. Theodore Kohn left our town on Wednesday morning last for the ?f?rth for the purpose of buying full supplies of fall ai d winter goods. As enterprising and successful mer chants none excel these gentlemen. We wish for them a successful trip und a safe return home. Oua rcadcis arc informed that a large supply of lamps of every varie ty aud style, will be received in a few days by Mr. S. A. Reeves. Theso lamps arc fine and will be sold qheap. Those wishing to buy will do well to want and purchase one from Mr. Reeves. An interesting protracted meeting js in progress at Rocky Grove Bap tist Church. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Barton, assisted by Revs. Raggett and Sawyer, arp in attendance. Con siderable interest is being manifested and it is to be hoped that great good will be accomplished. Kortjohn's wagon has been busy this week hauling in quantities of goods, shipped on consignment to this place through the efforts of Friend Dick, who has been North for that purpose. His orders aro to sell at once, which will be done at low fig ures iu order to make room for more. We learn that Dr. T. Raysor is carrying on a revival meeting at Bethel, in his charge with good re-1 suits. Also that Rev. GetBingcr is seeing his labors culminating in a gracious revival at. AntiocU, a Bap tist Church in St. Matthews. Verily tho strong-holds of Salau arc being! environed. Tub exct'Tsion train of Wcdncs day was a holiday affair. Rushing from the Atlantic whore sweltering days and mosquito hunted nights arc seasonable, it outers tho high mountain regions whore blankets and thick clothing ensure comfort. We can afford to stay where wo arc, as it in getting pleasant here now. We call the attention of little boys and foolish men who arc in the habit of using sling-shots in the street to the evils of so dangerous' a pas time. There is an ordinanco of the town, wo believe, against tho use of these dangerous toys and policemen are required to make arrests where this is violated. Mr. B. Frank Slater ic selling off bis fine stock of iiorscs very rapidly, aiul those who may want to invest in horse flesh had better give him an early call. The rico crop at this stage of its growth needs rain to dovelop and ma ture the grain. If the desired season cotnes the crop will bo an abundant ono throughout the county. -:-:- I The public will bear in mind that the School of Miss C. M. Evans will open on the fust of September at tho residence of B. 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. B. Norris, formerly of Or angeburg and son of the minister, hail his store house, at Abbeville, en tered on Wednesday night of last week and robbed, and u quantity of goods taken away. Entrance is sup posed to have been made by a false key. No traces of the robber so far but the matter is being worked up by competent hands. The Fik st Balu.?Ou Monday last, the 18th instant, Mr. J. F. Way brought to market the first bale of cotton of this year's crop. It weighed 410 pounds, classed middling, and was sold to Messrs. Bull & Scovill for 11 1-2 cents. This is ten days later than last year, the same gentle man Laving brought the first halo to market on liic 8th of August, 18G8. We learn that the dwelling of Mr. Henry L. Smoalc, just across the river, was entirely destroyed by fire on Wednesday night last at 1 o'clock. Little or nothing was saved from I he Maines. The fire is said to have originated from a fanner of ashes, which was left uncmptlcd. This is a warning to our citizens as the same act of carelessness is common in the country. It is rumored that the Republicans have nominated the following ticket for Mayor and Aldermen: George llolivcr, Mayor ; W. M. Sain, D. E. Smoak, J. A. Williams . and John Thompson, colored, Aldermen. Mes srs. Sain, Williams and Smoak are Democrats and we hope they will promptly repudiate this mongrel tick et by refusing to allow their names to remain on it. Frm T/af TuiiTii.?Many of the powders and pastes now in the mar ket contain ingredients like pumice stone, charcoal, &c, which ought never to bo used for the purpose. The Saponaceons Tooth Powder is warranted to contain nothing in the least injurious, and has no equal for its purpose, as its flavor is pleasajit, is perfectly soluble in the mouth, and contains nothing gritty or rough for tho teeth. For sale by Dr. J. G. Waxkamaker. Our readers cf Si. Matthews and of the county arc reminded that the school at St. Matthews' Academy will bo open on Monday the 8th of September under Mr. J. B. O'Neal Ilollov/ay. This is a first grade high school where pupils, boys and girls, will be prepared for college or busi ness at as low rates as is possible in this country. 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. Our readers who indulge in the luxury of a fine cigar aro directed to the drug store of Mr. S. A. Becvos, who has just received a lot of tho best we have ever tested. '1 hose cigars though fine, are cheap and sold by Dr. Beeves at $1.25 a box. The flavor is equal to that of cigars usual ly sold for five cents a piece. He has excellent tobacco at 40 cents and up to suit everybody who wishes a goud article. Tho best mustard we have ever tticd is kept hero and cheap. Baruary Wright was brought be fore the Mayor's Court on Wednes day morning on a charge of keeping a dieordcrly house. She was sentenc ed to ten days imprisonment or pay 85. The fine was paid. Mily Hancock, beforo tho same court on a charge of fighting received tho same sentence. Jinncy Balt/.cgnr, who was found' cursing on the streets, was exhorted by bis Honor, the Mayor, to do bot-1 tor and sent adrift. Du. Thos. A. Elliott look advan- i logo of the excursion and left for Greenville ou Wednesday. May he enjoy his visit and como back re freshed for these labors which to him are discharged in love as much so as in duty to his profession. Among the other excursionists wcro. Mr. Jas. II. Fowles and ? family, Oapt. M. Glover, Mr. Sam. Rickenbaker and i daughters, air. L. II. Wannamakcr, Misa R. S. Albergotti, Mrs. W. P. Brunson, and others whose names we tlid not learn. We uro glad to note ,tkat a very successful protracted meeting Las 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 Inabiuet and T. B. Boyd. We also learn that a similar meeting is in progress at Union in tho charge of Bev. Mr. Clifton with the prospect of great benefit to tho community and Church. Let tho good work go on. Gheejnvii.le, Chester and other towns have their "Building and Loan Associations" which tend to build up theso towns, foster home enterprise, secure instructions, and give com fortable homes to men of small means on the syatein of the "many a nicklo makef. the muckle." Can't wc have a building and loan association ? Tho "Home & 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-1 tico of Miss R. S. Albergolli in another column. This school claims the right*of seniority in Orangoburg, having been in successful operation during and since the war, and has graduated a large 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. Parents can do no bolter than patron ize this weil known and first-class school. The worthy and efficient agent of the South Carolina Railroad at this place, Mr. T. O. Dawaon, deserves ihc thanks of the excursionists on Wednesday lor his unremitting efforts in behalf of their comfort whilst in wailing for Ihc 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 be made daily, weekly and monthly on Ihc same subject, necessi tating long lines of figures, all tally ing and balancing lo tho letter. Mb. B. M. Bulsifier, of the Boston Herald quotes the statement that the people of the United States pay ?700-, 000,000 a year for spirituous and fer mented liquors and only 895,500,000 for education, and $48,000,000 for rcligiou. "I had no idea wc were such a thirsty people," he says ; "but I have heard a good deal of viiluous indignation expressed because church properly is exempted from taxation, and some of the States have come very near ruining themselves with cxpensivo common schools. Sup pose we should all swear off for three years and wipe out the public debt." Tub revival which has been in pro gress at the Methodist Church in this place was brought to a close on last Wcdndesday night amid the most solemn sccno it has ever been our for tune to witness. So deeply was the people impressed with the sermon on "Bo ye also rcatjy," 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 regret tho necessity which closes a meeting so full ol promise for future good, but wc trust the work begun may continue until every one is brought within tho pale of the Church. Said a young lady to Ihe editor a | few evenings since, "My sweetheart is a farmer and has great, large corns in the palms of both bauds. But though his hands arc hard, rough and 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. Wc 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 the lookout for all such chances. Theso hardy plough men arc the independent sovereigns of tho land, and the salt of the earth. Would there were more of them. How to Keep Uil a Town.?Soil your building lots at reasonable fig ures ; if you can afford to do so, do nate a building lol for some large business enterprise, and thoroby en hance the value of town property ; induce business men to locale iu your own town ; palronizo 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 ipeak ill of it to others because you happen to be 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.fiyo of our citizens, ladies and gcntloiucn, joined tho ex cursion for the up-country and moun tains on Wednesday last. Wo saw) among them the venerable Dr. Elliott, j and trust that the strengthening at mosphere a;id tho ^delightful scenery of the mountains will improve his physical condition and cnablo him to return with the promise of many years added to his valuabio lifo. A | large crowd of friends and relatives were at the depot to sco the excursion, off and bid them God-speed in their* search after rcct cation, health arid pleasure. Wo wish them a quick pas sage, a delightful sojourn and a safe return to their homes and dear ones. The election (or Mayor and Al dermen of the town of Qrangeburg to | serve for tho ensuing two years from the Olh day of September, X870, will take place ut the Engine House on the Oth of September. The Board of | Managers, consisting of Messrs. T. C. Alhergotli, C. L. Jones andHchry F. Dickson, will also constitute the Board of Registration of tho voters of | the town. Books for registration pur poscu will be opened at the Engine House on the 5th, Gth and 8th days of September. All bar-rooms will hp closed at G o'clock P. M. on Monday, tho 8lb day of Seplombcr, and re main closed until G o'clock A. M. on the 10th day of September. We learn that Maj. J. J. Sallcy visited the counties of Lexington, Edgefield and Laurcns 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.ey reports the farmers of the up-country as being highly pleased with the "No Fence Law." The people make more milk and butter than they ever did before. One of the blessings of the law, not a mean one either, is that one knows exactly where to find his cows without losing ever so much time hunting them. One man will make two bags of cotton ori his old fence rows. "Ye Ohle Folkcs Concerte," as ad vertised, came off on last Friday even ing at the Court House. As was ex pected a huge crowd had gathered long before the lime announced for the opening of the exerj object for which it was^ of tho Edisto Rifles, leading and taking antcc of a brilliant si was expectation more" I than in this iostantance. me was admirably conceived; didly 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 and an uge we have learned to veaer-j ate becauso of the simplicity that characterized them, and of a history which is the foundation stone of our present civilization and material progress. To ucc and live even a few hours amid such surroundings was worth the fee charged for admit tance, and so every one who witness ed the concert considered it. We have heard no other opinion express ed but that it was "a grand afi'air," "brilliant success," "happily con ceived," and "did credit to tho noble actors who took part in tho affair and sustained those parts so creditably throughout tho evening. Of course the community is indebted to Mr. Obidiah Primrose, whose musical genius could bo seen in every one of, them second only to their ancient "Songe Teacher." Tho community, however, will pardon us for our mak ing special mention of Mrs. J. A. H. and Miss B., whoso voices wore plain tively sweet pud wonderfully full yet musical throughout their pieces. Wo 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 the excellent manner in which they performed their part which was no in considerable item in tho programmo and afforded Obidiah Primroso a splendid opportunity to display his wonderful talent. Orungeburg is pe culiarly blessed with musical talent and why may wo not have frequently i such occasions of amusomcnt here as elsewhere. Wc can and the public will appreciate it. Market Roport.
