as they extended the trip to various
places of interest, such as Baltimore,
Washington and New York. They all
report a magnificent time, and are
untiring in their praises of Virginia
hospitality. The best order imaginable
was maintained throughout the
trip, which of course added greatly to
the enjoyment of the occasion.
Hard ox the Bachelors.?a member
of the Georgia Legislature introduced
a bill last week putting an
annual tax upon bachelors over thirty
years of age for the purpose of creating
a fund for the education of fatherless
children. It behooves the B. P. IT.
to spread its organination into our
sister State, and see mat their brethren
are not imposed upon by the Legislature.
They will certainly have to be
watchful and energetic to keep the
common euemy down, and it is asking j
too much to require tnem to contriouce
simply because they stand by their
colors.
Personal.?The Union Times says''
"We had a very interesting visit last
Tuesday from the venerable and courteous
old-time gentleman, Mr. W.
Edrington, of Lyles Ford, Fairfield
county. Mr. Edrington is S2^ years
old, and is undoubtedly one of the best
preserved men of anywhere near that
a^e we ever saw. His mind is as clear
as a bell, and his step is as elastic and
steady as that of most men at 45 years.
His memory is also good, and his
recollections of men and incidents of
the long years past were both refreshing
and fall of interest to us. Mr.
Edrington has a sister living whose
age is 97 years and six months. These
venerable individuals reside with Dr.
Frank Fant, whose age is 6-t, and the
average ages of the three living under
one roof is 81 years. Our venerable
friend is visiting the family of Dr. A.
E. Faut."
Can any of our Scientists Account
foe This??Mr. W. W. Crosby has in
his possession a curious freak of nature
in the way of a hen. When first
grown she performed all the duties of
a well-bred hen, even to the raising of
three broods of chickens. After raising
her last brood, she had a serious
spell of sickness, which divested her of
all her plumage. In the course of
time her feathers began to put out,
when, lo! it was discovered that she
was being arrayed in a complete set
of the male bird's (familiarly called
rooster) plumage. This was three or
four years ago; and she still struts
around in the beautiful colors of the
bold chanticleer, but is strictly exclu
sive in her habits, ignoring the whole
class of the fraternity, save when a
brood of chickens are orphaned, when
she will take |them up and care for
them with all of a chicken mothers
solicitude. She can be seen any day
in Mr. Crosby's yard.

The memories of our falleu heroic

the issues of the "Lost Cause," and
the gallantry claimed for the livina
appeal for that chivalric bearing an3
manliness of manner which have here
tofore characterized you.
More thau twenty-four years have
elapsed since with buoyant hopes aud
elastic tread you first touched the
sacred soil of the old "Mother of
Statesmen." Many are the changes in
the features of our country, and many
the changes in you, my old comrades,
since that eventful period.

things will yet contribute to the glory
and ^prosperity of a happy and reunited
Commonwealth. In the meantime

MOUXT ZIOS COLLEGE.
Jlessrs. Editors: Cannot something
be done towards fitting up and beautifying
old Mount Zion College? Surely I
there is vim and vitality enough in the
citizens to do someting in that direc- j
tion. The old site should be restored j
just as it was before tue destructive
fire; her grounds made attractive and i
her walls filled with the best talent!
that can be bad. How to accomplish
this desired cud is a problem yet to be
solved, but with united effort the work
can be accomplished. Could not a
joint stock company be inaugurated
looking to that end? I believe it will'
pay. At any rate we should do some-'
thing to revive and verify the droop- i
ing spirits of the citizens una awaken i
a progressive spirit in that direction.!
Mount Zion is a name honored j
almost, I might say, in every corner of
the land. Let it be cherished, it well
deserve? it. Her halls once resounded
with the merry song and lively chat >f
the young men of distant lands, and
wlvr should it not be so now? liaise
her walls and elevate her standard and ,
7 know she will still be, as she was in
days gone by, filled to her utmost
capacity. Then to the task.
PliOCtRESS. i
ITEMS FROM BLYTHE WOOD.
Messrs. Editors: I do not know that,
you want a place in your paper filled j
very often from my portion of Fair-;
field, but I will again have a few
words with you on some subjects that
have become very quiet for some time
past.
In the Jane 24th number of your |
paper was an editorial headed "Our;
Short Term Convicts." I have waited j
patiently to hear from some large!
headed fellow on this subject and have
wished very often that I could pro '"on
oKlo nil {hie VfM'V" im
UUW Uli U.I/AV W-LX/1V y? vM.v
portant subject, to give it a jnst
onward. Your piece was a good one,
and you "struck the nail a sounder j
right on the head*' to give it a start if;
our men that are appointed to carry
such matters on would have taken hold
and driven it on. Now, why our
Representatives do not consider this
matter I do not know. Our jail is
almost filled with short term convicts
and they arc costing the county abont
ten dollars per month, and I can give
you ray word that several irom my;
section have beeD sent during the last
two months that were delighted to be
taken away from their hard work and
short rations to be sent where they
could have enough to cat and no work
to do. Now what is the use to put the
county to the expense of the numerous
little law suits to punish for law breaking,
when in the end the punishment
is so slight that it does not stop critnc?
If these fellows were put on our roads,
which are so much iu need of work,
and would put our roads in good condition,
we would cease to have so
many cases before our Trial Justice
courts and ceasc to jump gullies on our
hillsides, for lazy people do not like to |
be made to work by au overseer.
Again, when our election came off,
the old County Commissioners were
about to cut a very much needed road
through the Longtowu section, from
near where old Mr. Motley lived (in
his life time) and to come out near
Boulware's Cross-roads. Since we
have put new ones in they have dropped
this entirely, and the people of
that section are very much in need of
this road, and they earnestly beg the
men that thev sent to represent them
and to do things for their interest, to
devote less time to a nicely conducted
"Poor House" and more time to their
road.
We are happy to say that our crops
are the best that we have had in some
years, and if we are still blessed, as we
have been, we hope to pay back
accounts and save a start for another
year. All have "laid by" and are now
resting and waiting for the cotton, and
then comes the work.

The Crops and the Weather?The Entertainment
at Monticello.
Messrs. Editors: Crops are "laid
by", poor, tired, abused stock seeui to
appreciate the green pastures and perfect
rest, while landlord aud tenant
rejoice over the excellent yield of corn
and cotton which wc have every reason
to expect, unless overtaken by some
unavoidable calamity. Gardens were
never better, chickens abound in this
portion of Fairfield, while we have
been luxn rating for weeks in the most
delightful melons. Of course, we
have our full share of the intense heat,
which we find most trying, butiheie
must always be some drawback to
comfort and happiness, for we may as
well not expect to find an ?den in tins
world of probation.
It was our privilege to attend the^
entertainment at Monticello on the
evening of the 24th ult., and we cheerfully
join in the universal verdict in
pronouncing it a perfect succcss. The
beauty, Wit auu luitui uiuunu JJ.UUticello
united to make it a most enjoyable
affair, which was fully attested by
1he large and appreciative audience.
Tannyson's May Queen formed part of
the programme, and the rendition of
it was most creditable to amateurs.
Miss Maggie McMeekin personated the
May Queen in perfect health and overflowing
spirits; Miss Leila Martin was
the Sick Girl and Miss Julia Martin
the Dying Girl. While giving all due
praise we noticed particularly the pathos
with which Miss Julia Martin recited
her part. We almost imagined we
were witnessing the death of a fair
young. The closing scene served as a j
sort of memento mori, ana a nusn ana i
solemnity seemed to pervade the entire
assemblage. The angels in the badfc-1

the extreme. A dear little lisping girl
whispered: "Oh! mother, don't they
look like sure enough angels?"
I "Variety is the spice of life," and
the opening scene of Handv Andv
! made us feel that we would be called
j upon to exercise our risible? to the
J fullest extent. Mr. Dixon whs the i
i leading character, and was ably sup-!
I ported by Messrs. Zealy, Martin, Mo j
| Meekin, Owens and Pettigrew. The j
j young ladies al>o acted remarkably j
well. Miss Maggie McMeckin, Miss!
Leila Martin and Miss Minnie Evans!
! deserve especial mention. Upon the |
j whole it was a most enjoyable evening, i
and the community owes Mr. Dixon j
and his lealJy brilliant relative a vote
of thanks as the getters-up ot the
theatricals, charades and tableaux.
We also tender our sincre thanks to
Col. Dawkins, Capt. McMeekin and all
j tiie paruopains. v^api. .uu.ucumh
proffered the use of his hall, while he
and Col. Dawkins did all in their
power to insure the success of the
entertainment. Messrs. A. W. Ladd
and O. B. Kountz contributed largely
to the pleasure of the evening by discoursing
sweet music. Much more
could be said on the subject of the
entertaiument, which was enjoyed alike
by snowv-hairedveterans, silver-haired
dames and the ycung, but we forbear,
having already trespassed too long
upon your time and attention. Mr.
Dixon's acting was as near perfection
as it was possible for an amateur to
attain. We wish him God speed in his
new home.
Hurrah for old Monticello! May
she yet wake ay,, and that we may
have many more theatricals, charades
and tableaux, is the wish of your correspondent.

The farmers of this section a few
days ago were revelling in the delights
of a beautiful prospect for an unusually
bountiful harvest of corn and cotton,
but the seasons proved unfavorable
and somewhat dampened their
ardor, which took a contrary direction
to that of the thermometer during the
past few days. However, yesterday
evening brought copious showers,
which will lessen the shortage very
much, and we are informed by old and
experienced farmers that a fair crop
will be made in this section.
A short time ago we took a little

with the truthfulness of
some of the articles which we had
read in The News and Herald 111
reference to the fertility of our soil,
where it received the proper application
of fertilizers and cultivation. On
every hand, as far as we went, there

Had we space ancl the power of reproducing
on paper in the most impressive
nianne:* whai we sec with our
eves and feel in our mind in reference
to the advantages of* living in a land
like ours we would take pleasure in
doing it. This is not the language of
one that has never been outside of the
State; we have been in several States,
but never in one to compare in advantages
for the middle and lower classes
with South Carolina. The capitalist,
too, has a broad and safe field here for
investments of almost any kind. In
Fairfield county there are many and
valuable advantages open to the moneyed
men of the day. We have heard
that the water power of the county is
ample for any purposes whatever, and
wc know that Broad River in the
western portion of the county has a
water power that can be readily utilized
and increased, that will rival in
advantages the best water powers of
the country. At Lyles's Ford, directly
on tbe Spartanburg & Union Railroad,
and owned by Capt. Thos. M. Lyles,
is a fine water power that is wasting
its usefulness on a small grist mill.

make you think it wants to do more,

if he will only come in.
One of our" former members of the
Legislature, Mr. George H. McMaster,
is well posted in these matters, and
takes pleasure in imparting to any and
all inquirers a true and concise "statement
of the advantages and disadvantages
of living or investing capital in
this county. Mr. Mc.'s usefulness in
this connection is well known to the
readers of The News and Heeald, so
we can look for pardon for this little
pursuuaui^..
Gen. Graut is dead. now, without a*
doubt. We)J, we are sorry to hear of
his death, that is all. His dying does
not make us feel as if we had done
something wrong by fighting for our
rights. To an ex-Confederate soldier
his dying brings back to memory many
of the sad scenes and trying timee of
our manful struggle in an unequal contest
for justice aud our rights. Vie
wonder how he has lived so long. The
burden of the wrongs that he inflicted
upon us, alter lie got us uown, was |
enough to bring down his gray hairs
in sorrow to the grave long ago. It is
all over. The papers state" that he
repented of some things before he died.
Let us hope that he obtained forgiveness
for all. Jeff. Davis, the noblest
patriot of them all, the martyr of a
just cause, still survives. We pray
that God will continue to let him live
till he enjoys a just vindication before
r> ilJcAi-Imimih'nor worlfl fnr himself. the
people he represented and the canse he
espoused. We would not be misunderstood
by any unthinking reader.
We do not mean the re-establishment

part of the gentlemer, and Mrs. James
Irby and Mrs. Jess<i Fitzgerald, who
it may be well said have reached j

the ladies. We heard that the stew |
was in progress .somewhere on the;
grounds, and not bninir able to locatc j
the place by sight, we opened our1
olfactories and soon took it in. We ;
kept them before us, and were led to a :
secluded grove behind an immense!

we found several ladies, surrounded
by nearly a dozen domestics, superintending
several large pots, which we
learned were filled with catfish st?w.
Our soul gladdened at this information,
because we saw plenty plainly written
in the mouths of those pots. Being of
an inquiring turn of mind, we ventured
a few remarks in reference to the
beauty of knowing how to do these,
things, and what a great convenience,
we called it, to have a dear creature
around that understood them all. They
must have misunderstood our language,
because one of the ladies remarked
that it wnuld take fifty thou
sand dollars to have her around, we |
didn't have the money with us, so i
we went offifend bought a ten cents S
watermelon find reflected over it, and
our reflections led us to wonder if they
were all so high priced, and if so, if a
clever fellow could not get them to
knock off" right smart. Being of a
tender age, and susceptible 10 the
charms of the fair sex, we refrain from
mentioning the names of any of those
that were Dresenc on that daw for fear
that memory might prove treacherous
and some dear name be left out, and
then she would say, "He needn't have
been so biggottv; I don't care." But
she would care all the same. "No
names, 110 blames". Suffice it to say,
that the ladies from each of the three
connties were full daughters of Mother
Eve, and that is all any young man
can ask of them. Wc kuow loveliness
when we see it, and know that it was
plentiful on this occasion, and no taffy
about it. Harmony and good cheer
prevailed throughout the entire day.
Dancing was in order, and the way
the representatives from the different
connties mingled together was sufficient
evidence of the mutual good
feelings that existed between them.
The dinner was a complete success.
In the grove before described was
erected a lengthy table, upon wLich
was spread a bountiful supply of all!
the good things that so much delights
che palate of the epienre. In spite of
the scorching rays which old Sol continued
to pour down, the dancing was
kept up till a late hour in the afternoon.
Ice lemonade was plantifu!, and was
dispensed to the thirsty terpsichoreans
by Messrs. E. B. Suber and E. R.
Roberts for the modest sum of five
cents per glass, and notwithstanding
this is the season for dilapidated pocket-books,
they sold over fifteen dollars'
worth of the beverage, without any
"stick" in it.
Thus ended the day. The crowd

respective homes, feeling that the day
had further served to strengthen the
chain that binds the sister counties
together.
Cool Branch Church has just closed
an interesting protracted meeting. It
was conducted by the Rev. J. D.
Mahon, assisted bv the Rev. Belton
Estes, a theological" student at Louisville,
Ky. Mr. Mahon was very much
indisposed during the meeting, and
exerted himself beyond his strength to
do his Master's work. Mr. Estes relieved
him in every way that he cotild,
preaching to the large congregation
several sermons ih a manner thai was
truly acceptable to them. Capt. J. F. V.
Liegg delivered several nigniv enter-\
taining and instructive lectures during i
the meeting. Their efforts were |
crowned with succcess beyond their
anticipations. At the close of the
meeting several accessions were made
to the church, and we feel sure that
much good was accomplished by
awakening of older members to a
higher sense of their duties as Christians.
May the good work continue.

AYER'S
Hair Vigor
restores, with the gloss and freshness of
youth, faded or gray liair to a natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired.
By its use light or red hair may te darkened,
thin hair thickened, and baldness often,
though not always, cured.
It checks falling of the hair, and stimulates
a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It
prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. As a Ladies' Hair Dressing, the
Vigor is unequalled; it contains neither oil [
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and i
silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perftune.
-Mr. C. P. Butcher writes from Kirby, 0..
July 3,1882: " Last fall my hair commenced
failing out, and in a short time 1 became
nearly bald. I used part of a bottle of
Ayeu's Hair Vigor, which stopped the fall- i
iiiir nf tii? hnir nnri started a new erowth. I
have now a full head of bair growing vigorously,
and am convinced that but fer the
use of your preparation I should have been
entirely bald." -
J. W. Bo vtes, proprietor of the Me Arthur
(Ohio) Enquirer, says: "AVER'S Haib VlGOB
is a most excellent preparation for the hair.
1 speak of it from my own experience. Its
use promotes the growth of new hair, and
makes it glossy and soft. The Vigor is also
a sure cure for dandruff. Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction."
Mr. An-gcs Fairbairjt, leader of the
celebrated "Fairbairn Family" of Scottish
Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass., Feb. 6,
1SS0: " Ever since my hair began to give silvprv
nf thA chance which fleetinff
time procuretb, I have used Ayer's Hair
Vigor, and so have been able to maintain
an appearance of youthfulness?a matter of
considerable consequence to ministers, orators,
actors, and in fact every one wlio lives
iu the eyes of the public."
Mrs. 0. A. Prescott, writing from 18 Elm
St., CJiarlestown, Mass., April 14, 1882, says:
M Two years ago about two-thirds of my liair
came off. It thinned very rapidly, and I was
fast growing bald. On using Ayer's Hair
Vigor the falling stopped and a new growth
commenced, and in about a month my head
was completely covered with short hair. It
lias continued to grow, and is now as good as
before it fell. I regularly used but one bottle
of the Vigor, but now use it occasionally as
a dressing."
We have hundreds of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of A tee's Haie Yigok. It
needs bat a trial to convince the most skeptical
of its value.
