?An unusual amount of watermelons
was 011 the market and sold at
reasonable prizes.
?There was quite a large crowd in
rtown Saturday, composed mostly,
however, of colored citizens.
?The Town Council have completed
some much needed improvements on
the street near the Presbyterian Church.
?All kinds of legal blanks on hand 1
and for sale at this omcc. .l\u\y ivpc

of those things which being once started
will never stop until human nature
k cries aloud for a change.
?1The postofSce at Rocky Monnt has
been removed to the store of Messrs.
J. A. Gladden & Co. Mr. John. L.
Ford has been appointed postmaster. |
?The Court House King have not
yet been able to definitely decide
whether the College should have tuit'.ou
or not. Everybody awaits in
breathless silence.
?From indications a very lively
shipment of watermelons North is I
going 011. For several days past the
r freight train has had several carloads
of the, fruit in transit.
?Mr. II. T. Matthews is now erecting
a two-story wooden buildirig immediately
in rear of Mr. J. H. Cummings*
store, to be used as a carriage
and bftorg-v manufactsry.
?The crop prospects in the county
rare very encouraging, although in some
sections rain has been needed badly.
"With one or two good showers the crops
will be the best for some years.
?All the regular pastors were
absent on Sunday except the Episcoj|&
palian. Services were heard in the
W Methodist and Episcopalian, but all
the pulpits were vacant in the evening.
?The freight agent here has been
collecting from a hundred and fifty to
two hundred dollars a day lately.
There is some specie afloat yet,
everybody to .the contrary notwithstanding.
The question of free tuition in the
State University has been the subject
: of lively discussion in town during the
AK last day 01* two. The friends of freeW
dom seem to be in the majority.
?The Executive Committee of the
Chester Fair Association have appointgfe
' cd Gen. John Bratton, Major T. TV.
' Woodward and Mr. T. P. Mitchell to
represent the Fairfield branch of the
ml Association at the Joint Summer Meeting,
to be held at Bennettsville next
month.
?"We are informed that ayourg man
of town' has ordered a railroad tricycle,
which he proposes to operate in
the night time. He has not yet announced
his schedule, but it will in all
* probability be as follows: Leave
TTinusboro, going North, at 9 p. in.,
return at 1 a. m. on the following
morning.

of the Sixth Regiment at Richmond
on 6th August, and to invite
them to extent their trip to the Monumental
City, and receive the hospitality

'0 ?The skating rink was opened again
on Tuesday night. As shown by the
crowd in attendance it is evidently
still a place of favorite resort, the
warm weather to the contrary notwithstanding.
In the course of the
evening there was an unfortunate col

pretty badly hurt.
?The ball has opened thanks to Mr.
F. C. Lupo. He brought in a watermelon
on Wednesday that put this
entire office to smiling. It was certainly
very fine. The admission is not
^ intended to deter others however.

. ?The Rock Hill Herald says: "We
3 have just concluded the census of Rock
Hill. Our enumeration shows that
there are forty-one marriageable ladies
in the town and seventy-six men who
are old enough to enter the connubial
"^0 state." If we should coaut out the
k bachelors (which it is perhaps 110 more
than lust that we should do, seeing
jr that none of them ever marry,) the
men here would not be so much in the
majority.
?The Normal Institute began on
Monday in Charleston. The Faculty
^ is composed of some of the leading
educators of our State. We hope that
Fairfield may be largly represented.

Wonderful Growth.?Mr. W. D.
Romedy, of this place, planted a tree
in his yard on the 1st of January 1884,
a weeping willow, the branch measuring
2 feet in length and \ of an inch in
diameter. This tree on July 18, 1885
measured 15 feet 3 inches in heignt,
and 2 inches in diameter, 6 feet from
the ground.
Ix the Trial Justice Court.?
On Thursday Buuyan Emerson was
arraigned on the charges of carrying a
concealed deadly weapon and making
an assault with the same. In the
opinion of the trial justice a prima
facie case was made out against him,
and he was required to give bond for
' ' ? i- X 4Ua
tiis appearance at tne next u.tih ui me
Court of Sessions.
A Request.?Everybody knows bow
easy it is for a well meaning man even,
to be taken captive by the idea that iie
was born subject to a prodigious intellect,
but only a few have discovered
that the same tendency to
illusion prevails with respect to musical
talent. The disagreeable truth has
dawned upon us at last and we must
request that no one sing in future for
any of the editors of this paper unless
specially requested so to do.
Death.?Miss Belle Jordan, daughter
of the Rev. D. E. Jordan, died in
Greenboro, X. C., early on Sunday
morning. She had been ill for some
monthspast and had gone to Greensboro
hoping to improve. The funeral services
were conducted at the Presbyterian
Church Sundav* afternoon by the
Ilev. Mr. Summev, of Chester. The
family have the heartfelt sympathy of
| the whole community in their sad
affliction.
Why Not.?It has been suggested
that some of our farmers near town
might find it remunerative to plant
watermelons for market. With early
j planting, proper care and attention, it
is said that they may be produced here
by the 10th of July. It is admitted
that our soil is very well adapted to
their growth. We must confess therefore,
that it does look a little strange
that they may be cultivated in the low
country, shipped here at considerable
cost and sold at a p rofit, if there is no
money In it for our own farmers.
Besides our home raised melons are
preferred not only because of their
freshness but also for their superior
quality.
A Case of Ixsanitt.?Mary Brice,
a negro girl fourteen or fifteen years
of a^e was brought before the Probate
Judge a few days ago, a lunatic for
examination. She certainly presented
a pitiable spectacle?deaf, blind
and without the power of articulate
speech. Her infirmities were induced
it is said, by a spell of typhoid fever
which sh^ had about three years ago.
The Probate Judge called in two physicians

of those for whom the public must provide,
she was committed to jail until
the county commissioners can investigate
the matter of her inability to pay
for her maintenance in the asvlnm,
after which she will no doubt be committed
to that institution.
Bingham School.?The Bingham
School catalogue is received. A handsome
lithograph of the school's unique
exhibit at the State Exposition (designed
by Lieutenant Batchelor, United
States Army, Commandant of Cadets,)
is also received. "We notice that of the
two hundred and fifty-one pupils from

are from outside of North Carolina.
Gaslight, a gymnasium and a
steam-heated bath house are new features
in a Southern school. Telegraphy
and short-hand are well provided
for. Special terms ottered lo young
men of small means. There is a
teachcr for ever twenty-five pupils in
regular attendance. "We are glad to
see a North-Carolina enterprise so progressive
and so successful. See advertisement.
Personal.?Mr. C. P. Gladden, of
this place, who has been on a visit
to relatives and friends in Georgia,
gives a good report of the crops of
that State. He ventures the opinion
moreover, that there is likewise a
fine crop of girls over there. He

Va., on the 6th August next to visit
the battlefield of Gains' Mill, or some
other of the battlefields in which the
Regiment was engaged, be accepted,
and that we cordiallv invite the Rich

Ax Arrest.?We have just been informed
by a prominent citizen of Fairfinld
th.af TJmi Collins, one of the best
colored citizens of our conuty, was
i arrested at his home in the western
portion of the county on Tuesday last
by a United States deputy marshal for
selling whiskey without a license. The
facts as we gathered them are as follows:
Some three years ago, through
the influence of some noted Radicals
of the county, a warrant was issued for
the arrest of Collins. It seems that he
tol-Q on o^rii'o T\nt*f in

ical politics, and his enemies took out
the warrant without any foundation.
"We suppose the new marshal is clearing
up business in his office and the warrant
which lias been in the office for
three years was served. Our informer !
says there is no foundation for the
charge and we hope that the District !
Attorney will see proper to discharge
him without trial, seeing that is is a ;
trumped up thing.
Ocr Political History at a Glance.
?In referring to the library of the
School Commissioner m a receni issue,
we omitted to notice his political map,
a very important appendage of the
library. The design of the map is J
withal so original, striking and instrnc-;
W |
tive that we shall make no apology for j
calling special attention to it. It con- !
tains, first, an analysis of the Federal j
Government, showing at one view the
Presidents, their Cabinets. Vice-Presidents,
Speakers of the House, Justices

beginning and close of the terms of
these officials, and leading historical
events that occurred in each administration.
These are classified properly
and printed on colors that indicate the
politics of the party in power. Second,
a diagram of the history of political
parties, that shows the outline history
of the parties by colored streams
represented as flowing from left to
right. Third, geographical and commercial
information presented to the
eye by beautiflly colored plates that
furnish facts without taxing the mind
by the reading of details. The map is
designed to give instantaneous information
on governmental and political
matters, so as to avoid the looking up
nf rprnrds to ascertain desired facts. I
It is highly colored -and is an ornament
to a room in addition to its intrinsic
worth. "VVe recommend it alike to
teachers, politicians and students.

Survivors Meeting.
The Fairfield division of the Survivors
of the Sixth Regiment S. C. V.,
i ? t-i i 3 n j x
convened nere on ?aiuraay, .rresiueiii
Woodward in the chair. The chief
matter of discussion was the reunion
of the Regiment which is to take place
on the battlefield of Seven Pines, on the
sixth of August next. Col. Rion read
a letter from Secretary Buchanan
asking that a committee of two be
appointed by the Fairfield division to
act in conjunction with a like committee
which had been appointed by the
Chesaer division to so to Richmond in
advance of the Regiment to make all
necessary arrangements for the reunion.
A motion was then carried
requesting the committee appointed by
the Chester division to maKe all such
arrangements. A resolution was next
offered "that committees be appointed
to ascertain and report by August 1st
the names of all persons who will join
in the expedition to Richmond. The
I Hail road fare for the round trip being
fixed at $5.75 per capita. All persons
consenting to go will be required to
} pay the amount of said fare to the sec|
retarv of the association on or before
the 1st of August next, the amount
to be refunded in case the expedition
fails for any cause." The resolution
was carried, and the following gentlemen
were appointed: Feasterville,
J. K. Stevenson; Salem, J. L. Richmond;
MonticelJo, R. C. Arnette;
Oakland, D. H. Robertson; Gladden's
Grove, J. A. Gladden; Horeb, J. C.

It was then moved that the meeting
unite with the Chester division in extending
to the Lee Light Infantry, of
Chester, and the Gordon Light Infantry,
the "Winnsboro Cornet Band
and the Sandy River Band, an invitation
to accompany the Survivors to
Seven Pines, this motion was carried.
Next followed a motion that a committee
of one be appointed to go to
Chester and confer with the Chester
division in relation to completion of
arrangements for the trip. Mr. R. E.
Ellison was appointed. The resolu
tions In regard to the deatft ot tnree 01
the members of the association will be
published hereafter. The'meeting then
adjourned to meet again on the 11th
of October next.
Col. Rion informs us that the train
leaves Winnsboro at 3 p. m., of Wednesday
the 5th August, stopping at Chester
and other points for Survivors.
The train arrives at Seven Pines at
8 a. m., of Thursday the 6th August
returning that evening to Richmond,
where the train stops for twenty-four
hours to enable the Survivors to "do"
Richmond.
The Regiment of ''Buck Tails,"
from Central Pennsylvania, will meet
our boys, but in a far different spirit
from that in which they met at Dranesville
and Seven Pines.
It is expected that the Gordon Light
Infantry, of this place, and the Lee
Lighi Infantry, of Chester, will also
join the excursion. The Sandy River
Band will furnish music for the occasion.

Interest.
Messrs. Editors: Your journal comcs
to us weekly wearing a bright face and
genial smile, and that the good people
eagerly seek the "feast of reason and
the flow of soul" that emanate from
its columns is a happy testimonial of
its worth. Cut it has been a long time
since it was favored (?) with an item
from this interesting niche of old Fair
field, so If you will yield a nttie corner
to our old goose quill it will endeavor
to show that the long silence is not to
be imputed to anything like a Rip Van
Winkle event. On the contrary, the
excellent folk arc alive and g. That
Monticello is a name that should suggest
the most elevating thought and
carry with it the most ennobling acfion
is a sentiment from which there can be
no dissent from the advocate of liberty
and the freedom of conscience, and at
all times ?nd under all circumstances
there should come something significant
and valuable from any place
called Monticello, so if our quill fails
in its proper devoir to all the excellencies
of mind and heart, head and
hand, and we may add, feet, that characterize
this, "onr" Monticello, and
redeem so largely the loss of the physical
beauties which lie hidden under
I the spoil of "Sherman's march to the
sea" we offer in apology our. ignorance
of the light that is probably too modest
to come out from under its bushel and
which doubtless is the ray needed to
make perfect the galaxy. As woman,
in all cases, comes first in attention
where courtesy is known and practised,
j we cannot expect that our assertion of
I this excellence be regarded as conclusive
unless we give her the larger share
in its production, [and we anticipate a
geuerous acquiescence on this point.
Surely no other niche is able (o show
so many fair faces and bright eyes as
greet and shine upon the votaries of
the power that rules the world; and we
can bestow no greater praise upon the
kindly hostess who dispenses her courteous
hospitality with such lavish

doubtless, many whilome hungry heroes
of the Lost Cause can testify.
There is another happy feature?Tupped

itself here. "What record will be written

The mother's hand holds the pen; how
grand her mission!
Some of the farmers are leaving the
old ruts and a spirit ot progress is
showing its benefits. The manner in
which the reaper has given duty to
wheat fields and the cheering landscape
of "bottom" teeming with aspiring
corn, seem to point to a near future
when these life-sustaining products
will, successfully dispute the throne
with "King Cotton". The "Jersey"
with becomiug instinct keeps up the
reputation of her noble ancestry, and
the golden pats that cheer the "palate
almost rival in flavor the rich pyramids
of butter that result from the famous
blue grass and maguificent clover pastures
of the rich agricultural, warglorified
Shenandoah Valley.
School enterprise is qnite active, and
bat for the trivial opposition that shows
itself in almost every question of life,
a very creditable school might be supported,
despite the irregularities consequent
upon the necessities of the
people since the war. The late teachers,
Mr. and Mrs. Scott, served the
people with a patient fidelity worthy
of a gracious return of gratitude, and
the present teacher, who took up the
school after a long pause, has a reputation
for capability and efficiency to be
disputed by none worthy of an opinion.
He has been faithful in the discharge
of his duties during the past
session, and his progressive method of
teaching shows results that prove its
efficacy. The children are bright, the
location healthy, the old bell scholarly
rings its matin and afternoon call, "To
arms! for the health of the State", and
aitosetner tne scnooi renects mucn
credit upon the spirit of education
animating the good people of the
vicinity. The principal drawback: is
the small salary.
We wonld beg leave just here to say
a word in commendation of the popular
chairman of the Board of School
Trustees. His manly firmness aud
unquestionable judgment might dignify
a Spartan king, and the deference the
thinking people give to his opinions
shows the strong hold he has upon the
community.

had unanimously voted should take
place, and appointed a committee of
arrangements?a committee every whit

and as capable as any the society could
turnish. A programme mT aS dccided I

Another Virginia Sensation.
There has been considerable excitement
for several days past in Henry
county, Va., in the Vicinity of Martinsville,
over a mystery involved in the
death of Mrs. U-. Li. btone, Jr., who
was found dead last Monday and soon
thereafter was buried. Suspicion of
foul play being aroused, the body was
exhumed and a coroner's investigation
begun. An autopsy showed that deceased
was in a perfectfuly healthy
condition. A large number of witnesses
were examined, and on Saturday
the coroner's jury readered a verdict
that Mr?. Stone came to her death
from cruel and brutal treatment at the
hands of her husband aud his father,
fj T. Si* "Rntli fathnr flnrl snr?
I
have been committed to jail to await
the action of the grand jury. The
evidence shows that the deceased was
tortured to death by the most shameful
and unnatural treatment.
?"Facts are stubborn things," aud
sufferers from chills and fever generally
find their complaint a very stubborn*
fact, until they commence the use
of Ayer's Ague Cure. That medicine
eradicates the noxious poison from the
system5 and invariably cures even the
worst cases. * *
An End to Bone Scraping:,
Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg,
111., say: "Having received so much
benefit from Electric Bitters, I feel it
my duty to let suffering humanity
i know it. Have had a rmininsr sore on
my leg for eight years; my doctors i
told me I would have to have the bone !
scraped or leg amputated. I used instead
three bottles of Electric Bitters
and seven boxes Bucklen's Arnica!
Salve, and my leg is now sound and
well." Electric Bitters are sold at
fifty cents a bottle, and Bucklen's
Arnica Salve at 25 cents per box by

A Marvelous Story
TOLD Ili TWO LITTERS.
FROM THE SON:
" Gentlemen: My father resides at Glover,
Vt. He has been a great sufferer from Scrof
ula, and the inclosed letter will tell you what
a marvelous effect
Ayer s Sarsaparilla
has bad in his esse. I think his blood must
have contained the humor for at least ten
years; but it did not show, except in the form
of a scrofulous sore on the -wrist, until about
five years ago. From a few spots which appeared
at that time, it gradually spread so as
to cover his entire body. I assure you he wa*
terribly afflicted, and an object of pity, when
he began using your medicine. Now, there are
few men of his age who enjoy as good health j
as he has. I could easily name fifty persona
who would testify to the facts in liia case.
Yours truly, W. 1L Phillips."
FROM THE FATHER: pleasure and
a duty for nie to state to you the benefit I
have derived from the use of
!
Ayeri SarsapariHa. |
Six months ago I was completely covered with
a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. Tha
humor caused an incessant and intolerable i
itching, aud the skin cracked so as to causa i
tho blood to flow in many places whenever
I moved. My sufferings were great, and my
lifo a burden. I commenced the use of tha
Sarsaparilla in April last, and have used
U regularly since that time. My condition
began to improve at once. The sores have
all healed, and I feel perfectly well in every !
rcspect?being now able to do a good day's J
work, although 73 years of ago. Many inquire
what has wrought such a cure in my case, and
I tell them, as I have here tried to tell you,
Ayeb's Sarsaparilla. Glover, VL, Oct.
21,1S82. Yours gratefully,
Emia Phillip?."
Avzr'b Sarsapartt.la cures Scrofula
and all Scrofulous Complaints, Erysipelas,
Eczema, Ringworm, Blotches,
Bnfffl. TiiiiiaW. And TlmnHnwi of
the Skin. It clears the blood of all impurities,
aids digestion, stimulates the action of
the botrels, and thus restores vitality and
strengthens the whole system.
