Mr. Oeight is an enterprising gentleman, and we wish him much success in his new undertaking. ?Mr. W. Herbert Ruff, of Ridgewav has been appointed assistant su-! pervisor of registration vice Mr. O.

Mr. Kuff is a young gentleman of ability and promise, and is well qualified to fulfil the j required duties. ?A business man who disregards the virtue of newspaper advertising cannot compete with his enterprising neighbor who places his business before the people every day or week in the year through the colums of his home paper. The bnvs. when the erirls 'so back I on' them, inform each other of the catastrophe by saying: "I 'got left"'. We judge from the frequent usage of the expression at the picnic on Tuesday that a good many of the boys had j been "left". ?The following is the time at which the day passenger and freight trains will arrrive at Winnsboro: Going Xorth?Passenger, at 1.20 a. in. freight, at 9.02, a. ni.

It is said to indicate the near approach of a iieated term, but this is not in accordance with Veunor's predictions, who says we will have frost on the 20th of this month. ?Don't fonret to register. There are about five thousand voters in this county, and as it takes from three to five minutes to register each one, no time should be lust. Experience at the treasurer's office on the last few days of collecting taxes, should teach voters to hurry up. ?At *he last meeting1 of the steam fire engine company it was resolved to have a hot supper on the night of the second Tuesday in June. It was also decided to purchase more lanterns for the use of the company in case of fire. The style of hat to complete the new | uniform was chosen. ?About one hundred and fifty acres of small grain, chiefly oats, will be harvested within the corporate limits of "Winnsboro this year, and the yield will be very gratifying. It is predicted that several acres will average more than seventy-five bushels of oats each. In past years most of this land was devot-1 ed to cotton. ?The Gordons have decided to accept the invitation extended to them by the Hornet Next Rifle Company of Charlotte, provided they can secure twentysix men. We hope they will succeed in raising the number, for they will be sure to have an elegant time, being the guests of so admirable an organization as the Hornets. ?For the benefit of parties interested we wlli state that the fond raised last fall for purposes of defence is still on hand, subject 30 the call of the County Committee; but as it was raised for county purposes, the County Chairman deemed it best to keep it on hand for local contingencies, and for that reason issued the special call in response to the appeal of.the State Committee for the general fund. ?We are indebted to Mr. T. Hines Coleman, of this county, for an invitation to attend the anniversary exercises of the National Deaf Mate College in j Washington, D. C. Mr. Coleman is j one of the orators of the day, the sub-1 ject being "Contributions from the New World to the Old." From other sources we learn that Mr. Coleman has taken a very prominent stand and will graduate among the first in his class. ?Thanks are returned for an invitation to attend a picnic excursion in celebration of the fiftieth business year of the well known and enterprising firm of Walker, Evans & Cogswell. This firm was established in 1832 by the late Joseph Walker, and has come flown mirtfM* soveral clian?res of ]iarne and partuers to the present time. Messrs. Harvey Cogswell and C.

It is hoped that the members will attend, and that all teachers not already enrolled will ''join the baud."

Partitioned out the flag at Johnston's capitulation, and brought home the belt and socket. The foregoing is an extract from the roll of field and staff of the battalion, prepared by Co!. James II.

The gallant boy-soldier was a son of our worthy fellow citizen, Maj. B. II. Robertson. TBF. GORDOX LIGHT IS'FAS Tit Y. Parade and Picnic at Peargon's Rock?A Charming Day. The Gordon Light Infantry celebrated their anniversary on Tuesday by a parade, target shooting and a picnic at Pearson's Kock. The town generally was invited to attend, and the invitation was as generally accepted. From ; an early hour wagons and private con | veyances began conveying the ladies out to the grounds, and at about half | past nine o'clock the Gordons themselves marched out presenting a very soldierly appearance, the result of careful drilling, showing that they ha\e lost none of the esprit de corps that has distinguished them from their organization. Arriving at the grounds the target shooting began and wascontinu ed for several hours. The following is the score: 1st 2nd 3d Total Capt. Jordan 4 5 4 13 Lieut. Coimnines 3 4 2 9 Sergt.

After the contest had been decided, TSy p and a solitaryv squirrel on a -lofty r-ak had been brought down bv a fusillade of shots, the Gordons and their iruests were ready for dinner. Two long tables, spread beside the running stream, filled with substantial* 1 and delicacies administered to physical ' comfort, but so great was the profit- . sion that despite the efforts ut all pre.?-1' ent. and especially ot the noted gastro- ] noini-t> of town, a large number of , baskets wore left unopened, as a re- ( serve, for which, however, there appeared no necessity. After dinner the older memoers01 me j>:in;. uuii-.jimi* surveyed ilie scene, while (lie younger memhei. again called into requisition tiie riddle and the triangle, anil danced with a will. The still .-mailer speci- . mens of humanity of the masculine gender amused themselves climbing trees, rolling down liill and otherwise disporting themselves in amusements hazardous to neck or limb.

Editors: Allow us space in your columns to report a pleasant day ' spent with the Oakland School in a May festival and picnic. This school, now under the paternal care of Maj. B. H. IJol>ertson, decided to have a May festival and picnic on the oth inst. 1i The stage was arranged under the spreading branches of two large oaks, and whs beautifully decorated with ' evergreens and flowers from the woods I and the flower gardens. Two beautiful arches spanned the stage; one in front and the other just over the throne of the queen. At eleven o'clock the school was formed with "Flora" and her little 1 flower girls at the head; next the * maidsot honor; next the garland bear- ; er, the crowner and the pole bearers with the queen; her devoted little ^ - ?ii- t : subjects came nexr?an wiui ueauiuiu j flowers to do honor to their queen. ( Miss Dixie Yongue ^ as made queen, but I must not mention names, as all 1 were pretty and did their parts well, t A m re lovely and beautiful collection , of girls cannot he imagined. This school can boast of as many real down t pretty girls as any school in the coun- < ty, or perhaps even more. After the . coronation, the young folks, and old ones too, repaired to the; < eflinnl.hnnse. where the vounsr Oliesi 1 engaged in dancing until dinner was: announced. Here a table, large and y long, was filled with everything that; conicl tempt the appetite and satisfy the wants of the inner man. You have j never been to a "Wateree" picnic? Well, there never has been a failure in a "Wateree" picnic, and there was no ] failure on this occasion. We are alive to other matters down 1 here too. Farm work has been pushed rapidly forward. Grain of all kind looks wr'U, and we have full stands of ^ cotton and corn; and ot' the latter , quite a large area has been planted; 1 farmers seem determined to quit hauling rotten corn from Winnsboro. Right here allow me to ?ar that while we see so much in the papers about false packed cotton and remedies to prevent the same, I see no notice of the false packed corn that we have to take, corn that is made to take up as < uvuoh water as it can possibly absorb and with a few shovels of dirt thrown in to make it weigh well. It is well known that this class of corn is poison- < ous to stock and entails heavy losses ' upon the farmers. In politics we arc "as straight as a shingle." and only wait me can oi our county chairman to rally oncc more , under the ilag of Democracy. We hold 1 ourselves in readiness to give Taft, or any other of his stripe a warm reception whenever he deems it advisable to visit our county. We extend to District Attorney Scalawag Melton a cordial invitation to visit us during the next campaign, and it" he does not get a free ride on a rail out of the county, | then I am mistaken. Melton must have a tough hule, for if ever a man was abused lie is that man. I think the boys down here would like to meet General Youmans, they . would give him a ride too, but a very differen t one from that of Melton, it would be one of triumph upon the , shoulders of the red-slurted boys. General Youmans has made a lasting im- ! pression upon the red-shirts of his ( State by his manly defence of South Carolina and South Carolinians. Do you think the negroes will register? They are full of it, and will register to a man. It got out among them that lasii Monday w^s the day and here ; they came. We "tcrrogated" one of the parly who said ihat he heard the "perseasor" was to be here, and "Unclc Rich had saunt word to theiu all to come up and redish." We would like to make a suggestion to our honored county chairman, and it is this, had he not better call the clubs together and appoint committees to look after members of clubs who might not register if not reminded of the importance of doing so? We feel that we have trespassed too i much already upon your columns, but hope that you will accept our excuse, when we say that we do not do so often. Incog. Oakland, May 6, 1882.
