OUANGEHUKG, S. (J., DKC. 10. 1880.
Rev. Manning Brown will preach
in the Methodist church next Suudny
and on Monday he and the pastor,
Rev. O. A. Darby will loave for Mari
on, C. H. to attend the annual Con
ference of the M. ?. Church, South.
TnE few days of sunshine havo
materially changed the condition of
the roads which had well nigh become
impassable. The dulluess and inac
tivity of the last few weeks are gradu
ally giving place to cheerfulness aud
business life.
Adam Slroman says if he wins the
Sewing Machine at the Fair he will
give it to his sweetheart. Here is a
goldeu opportunity for some young
lady to catch a clever young man
and at the same time secure a No. 1
Sewing Machine.
The present Legislature is said to
be one of work and commendable so
briety. Not a member drinks to ex
ecs and" quite a number abstain
entirely from intoxicating liquors.
Surely some one of the many bills
limiting the traffic in liquor will
pass.
Some of the Elliott boys poked
considerable fun at the Young Amcr
ca boys on the night of the tire be
cause Uuclc Joe took a notion to roll
over in the mud. The Elliotts should
remember that accidents sometimes
happen to the best regulated fami
lies.
Our young friend, Mr. T. L. Wan
namakcr, will be pleased to enter
your name for a chance at a White
Sewing Machine to be rallied at the
Young America Fair, donated for
that purpose by the company', if you
will call ou him at Henry Kobn's.
Only 50 cents per cbunce.
We refer our readers to the adver
ti8crneu,, of the Young America Fair.
Great fun and profit is promised for
every evening. The gentlemen arc
specially invited to attend on Wed
nesday evening, us at this time the
ladies will devote themselves partic
ularly to them. This is the evening
for universal suffrage and woman's
rightB. All are invited to be present.
Tub receut additions mads to his
.stock by Mr. B. Frank Slater enable
hi in to meet the wants of our.citizens
in horses, mules and buggies prompt
Jy and at a.low price. His long ex
perience and fine judgment as a dea
ler in stock are the best assurances of j
good bargains wc can give. Those
in need of hue stock will do well to
,call at once.
We stated in our laBt issue that
Mr. T. S. McGrew, of Middle St.
Matthews, died of hesrt disease. This
sve learn is an error aud wc gladly
jaake the correction. Mr. McGrow
.died of Phneumonia contracted from
exposure while under arrest on elec
tion day. The arrest was made by
Sam Lewis and other negroes, and
for the exposure which resulted in tire
death of this old gentleman Uiey are
directly ..responsible, and should he
punished for it.
Wk had the pleasure or> Wednes
day of meeting Mr. W. L. Gary, the
polite and enterprising business man
ager of Mr. Cornclson's mercantile
establishment. Mr. Gary is a native
of Newberry County and has been
doing business in Columbia ever since
the war with unparalleled success as a
?alesuian. His extensive experience
in this position and unusual business
tact make him quite an accccsion to
Mr. Oornelson's establishment, and
we predict for him a future- career in
Orangeburg as popular and successful
es his past has been.
Amono the Insurance Companies j
who have contributed to the Young
America Fair wo notice the Home of
New York. This is as it should be.
Insurance is a safeguard against the
enemy that threatens night or day,
and based on a calculation of given
data is sold for a fixed rate, yet, the
appliances for extinguishing lire when
voluntarily provided by our firemen?
outside of their willing hands and
quick feel, must be sustained by sol
id help. The Home insurance Com
pany understands this, and comes to
the rescue It is a mammoth and
veteran company, and docs a fair
share of business through its agent,
Capt. Hamilton.
Dots.?Remember the Fireman's
Fair. .
We aro glad lo learn that Mrs.
Donald Rowe, who has been quite
sick, is convalescing.
Mr. James A. Hamilton now rides
the bycicle with grace and case. So
much for perseverance.
Tho outrage mill is still 4n opera
tion. The manageis of Fogle's box
were arrested yesterday.
There is a flood in the Pee Dee riv
er. The water has risen twenty three
feet nnd is even withalhc banks.
Young and old will be happy till
next Christmas if they will only pa
tronize Jos. Eros' confectionery. *
Our uewly1 elected county officer*
will qualify aud tukc possession o(
their respective offices to-day or to
morrow.
Olk town is literally crowded wilb
buggies?multitudes of them are for
sale, but the best und cheapest are at
B. F. Mater's.
The Georgia Home and Germania
Insurnucc Companies have each con
tribuled 810 in aid of the Young
America Fair.
Genuine gosben butter at 30 cents
per pound, and choice hams at 10
ccnls per pound at J. I. Sorreulrtie.
Give him a call. *
Wc caution our readers about trad
ing witb Jos. Eros, unless they want
the puiest cnudies, soundest fruits,
&c, at the lowest prices. ?
We understand that writs of ar
rest were issued on Wednesday for
the Bookhardt box managers on the
affidavit of Gco. Boliver.
Gen. Giant may be found for the
present at Eros' confectioucry, silting
in an easy chair and quietly smoking
Iiis cigar. Go and ace him.
Old Santa Claus has been off for a
year. There will be a happy family
reunion at the Young America Fair
on Friday night, 21th instant, at 8
o'clock.
Great sensation 1 A Chrislmas pre
sent given to everyone who buys 81
worth of goods or more from Jasepb
Fros' confectionery from the 15di of
December to January 1. ?
Don't forget the Santn Claus Ex
press at the Young America Fair.
Goods delivered for ouly 5 cents.
Now is your chance, young and old,
to surprise your frieuds and sweet
hearts.
Owing to bad weather Prof. Van
Orsdell could not Onish up work.
Consequently Le will remain until
Jan. 1, 1881, affording a -chance yet
to tbofce who have not had pictures
taken to do so.
We arc sure that thoso who owe us
for hard work, laborious toil, will re
spoud to our call. We need the
"sinews of war"?the "cash"?to run
our odlce ^successfully, and give you
all a good paper.
Rev. Manning Brown and Rev. O.
A. Darby leave for Conference next
Mondcy, and we but express the wish
of the commuuity when we say we
hope they will be returned to Ihcir
present fields of labor.
Outi citizens nrc enjoying the rare
treat of a week's amusement in tho
sun-light pictures being exhibited by
Mr. G. R. Tremaino. These pictures
arc \ the \ representations of scenes
and places visited by the exhibitor
during months of travel in Europe
and the Holy Land, and as a work ol
art cannot be surpassed in execution
and close resemblance to nature.
The representations include the
grandest natural scenery of the world,
the most magn ficcnt buildings ol
Europe, tbc best examples of ancient
and modern Slutuary the finest part
ing of the masters nnd the leading
citios of tho old world. As a
school this course of entertainments
furnishes as accurate information in
history and literature as is possible
i in so short a time and as a source ol
|amu8cmcnt tho pictures are chaste,
I elevating and enjoyable. On to
morrow evening at 2 1-2 o'clock an
exhibition for children]will, be given
atacharge of ten cents admittance for
anyone who may choose to attend. If
Hie programme compares at all with
these of Iho main course wc advise
our little one to be on hand promptly
at the hour.
We had a pleasant call from Mr.
J. II. Goodwin, General Traveling
' Agent of Foutz's Medicines, one day
last week. He is a clever gentleman
and wc commend him to the brethren
of the press.
A visit to Kortjohu's Cheap Cash
Store at this time is realty instruo"
live and remunerative. One has no
idea how many bargains arc to bo
had until they go and see for them
selves. One pleasing feature in this
establishment is that they arc not
puffed up by their success, but every
one is willing and anxious to show
you around and sell you low down for
cash?for you must remember that
the secret of Kortjohn's success has
been the cash trade. He makes no
exceptions. Keeps no slate. No
memorandums in cash drawer, but
gives sledgo hammer bargains in ex
change for the American dollar. With
alert, experienced buycis of rare
jndgmeut, pluck, audacity and abili
ty, having unlimited command of
that one thing that will buy the
world, they are able to watch and
take advantage of these splendid
chances and offer to their customers
who are not afraid of the insane cry
of auction goods, jobs, leaders and
specialties well calculated to unsettle
the brain of the buyer on time at fifty
per cent, on goods interest added.
It injures no fabric to drive it through
the giant engine of U. S. Marshal and
assignee, the Sheriff nnd the auction
mart of the city. It only changes
the price from a very high to a very
low figure. The slock of this store
has been largely replenished during
the week and they are now prepared
to meet the demands of their many
frieuds. In nddition to the heavy
stock they aic now opening the fol
lowing, which persons in the country
would do well to notice : Silver plat
cd table and tea spoons, knives and
forks, window shades, ladies dress
goods, boots, shoes, glassware, and a
thousand other things. Give him a
call. ?
Between 11 and 12 o'clock on
Monday night last, the alarm of Are
was)given and our firemen and citizen
gathered rapidly at the residence of
Mrs. John Glover on Jail Street,
where the kitchen was already envel
oped in flames. The Hook and Lad
der Company soon pulled the building
down and allayed all fears of the
flames spreading though tbewind was
blowing briskly from the North
West. Uucle Joe had nothing to do
but extinguish the fallen and burning
walls and lo prove by his excellent
performance that the mishap of a
tumble from the side-walk into the
mud had not impaired his effective
ness. Tho cause of the lire is not
known but thought to be accidental.
The loss will not exceed three hun
dred dollars. No insurance;
Skyeuai. young negroes were be
fore tho Mayor this week for profani
ty. They were spoken to by a gen
tleman at the depot, but this only
made tho mailer worse. They seem
ed to think that the most indeccnl
language before ladies was a special
right. The Chief of Polieo, on com
plaint, Iheu took charge of them, and
the Mayor gave them a warning. The
streets and public places are offensive
on account of the young blackguards
idling around, nnd every citizen is
bound to report what is a disgrace to
a well ordered community.
At the last regular meeting of the
St. Matthews Social Club, of St.
Matthews the following officers were
elected to serve for the ensuing year :
II. Witcover, President; George M.
Clark, Vice-President; J. Jacobson,
Secretary nnd Treasurer. The Club
proposes to give their second Grand
Ball and Tournament on the first
Tuesday following Christmas, and
hope to have a number of Orangeburg
representatives.
The excursion trains are crowded
with passengers from every section of
the State visiting Charleston to wit
ness the Agricultural exhibition, races
and meeting of the State Grange.
Quite a number of our own citizens
have availed themselves of this oppor
tunity to enjoy a little recreation
from business.
James D. Tradewell, a man of flue
personnl (appearance, princely man
ners, and brilliant mint], was buried
in Columbia last Thursday. Poor
man 1 his brilliant mind and promis
ed greatness and usefulness have
