Alston, who has advertised his plantation through the columns of our paper, informs us that hi has had several personal applications and several communications on the subject since his announcement. Land-owners will lose nothing by a short advertisement through our columns. The Elliott Gin.?As was stated in j a few issues back, Mr. J. JVl. ililiiott | had one of his celebrated gins on ex- i hibition at the Charlotte fair last week. His many friends were not surprised I when they found he had taken the J diplomat. His gin ic used extensively over the Carolina?, Georgia and other States, and has alwas given entire satisfaction. Sales-Day.?As usual on sales-day in November quite a crowd was in town aud busiuess was on a boom. Neai'ly seven thousand acres of land " was sold and at remarkably low prices. Fairfield has always been considered one of the best cotton counties in the State, and it seems a mystery how -'" ~ 1ft v?/-7 rtnn l\a KAnrrhf Wo CUCilJJ tuu laiivt uuuqi.i. ii v, extend open arras to all good men desiring homes at low prices, and guarantee that no better society can Be found in any county or more pleasant homes. The Sheriff and Clerk were kept busy all day with their sales, and buggies, wagons, stock, etc., went at nominal prices. A Daring Robbery.?Ou Saturday evening Mr. George S. Hinnant had occasion to poll out his wallet on several occasions. As he was going home after dark, just after he crossed Alleys Branch, two negroes came up with him. One engaged him in conversation while the other lingered behind. After asking Mr. Hinnant to allow him to ride and being refused he came up and caught hold of him, telling him that he wanted some of that money. Being refused the negro pulled Vum nfF hi? mnlfi and sneeeeded in robbing him of about eighteen dollars. This is one of the boldest robberies we have ever heard ot, and no pains * should be spared to bring the parties to trial. Wc arc glad to know that Mr. Hiunant thiuks he can spot the men. Death of Mr, J. W. McCaxts.? Mr. J. William McCants. ef this county, died at his home on Sunday afternoon. His health had been failing for several months past, and within the past few weeks his declinc was rapid, and it was apparent that the end was not far off. The disease that thus cut short a promising life was a lorm of consumption. Mr. McCants was the son of the late Dr. George L McCants, a well known citizen of Fairfield District, and was nearly ihirty-fcur years of age. Ke received Zhis early education at the Mount Zion Institute, and afterwards finished the I course of instruction at King's Mountain Military School, Yorkviile. In both these institutions he maintained an excellent standing, aud enjoyed the esteem and confidence of teachers and students alike. He was engaged in farming, and ranked among our most intelligent. Drosrressive and successful a 7 ^ 0 ^ _ planters. Personally, Mr. McCants was an exceptionally attractive man. Brave, generous, true to the right, he combined qualities which went to make him a good citizen and gave promise of much usefulness in the community. Cut off when he had scarcely reached the prime of his manhood, his death is a sad one indeed. Mr. McCants was married to Miss Sue isoykin JLyles, wdo preceded him to p the grave in the fall of 1882, leaving no children. The funeral services were held in the Methodist Church on Monday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. G. P. Watson, and were very largely at' tended. The State Fair.?The Columbia fair is always one of the attractions of the State capital in the fall, and Fairfield never fails to be well represented. The exhibition for ISSo will .open on November 10 and continue for four days and will be made more attractive than usual. Besides a grand tourna ment by the young men of the State, fireworks, shooting matches, an opportunity to buy fine stock, either at auction or private sale, a first-class restaurant by the ladies of Columbia and music by a "Boys' Band." The display of stock of all classes?the practical exhibits of all improved agricultural and farm machinery?samples of an neia crops, togeiner wiui a iuu ana complete exhibit in the women's department?both household, fancy and domestic?will give onr citizens an opportunity of examining a full exposition of all the resources of our State not to be found anywhere outside of the State fair. The bringing together once a year of all classes of our citizens?farmers, mechanics, artisans and and all professional classes?is having a marked and healthful effect and is becoming one of the most interesting features of our fair. The accommodations are most ample for all exhibitors. Power will be furnished when needed for all machinery. The hotels and citizens of Columbia will provide amply for all visitors. Thoroughbred cattle will be judged by a distinguished professional judge of thoroughbred stock. The racing will be under the management of the Sub-Race Committer of the Society and will be conducted more satisfactorily than on any former occasion. The Mikado .?It is seldom that the people of Winnsboro have an opportunity of witnessing the performance of the dramas of the day or of seeing operatic performances of a first-class order. Through the enterprise of Mr. J. 0. Boag a splendid opportunity was afforded the music-loving and theatregoing people of town to witness the performance of "The Mikado", a r*.r?mnnsprl flnH written bv W"14V ww.? Messrs. Gilbert & SulliraH. The rendition of this opera by the Bijou Opera Company was one of the fiuest that have ever been given in this town. We do not claim any merit as a musical critic, bat we do know a good thing when we see or hear it, and do not hesitate to pronounce the performance on Satnrday night as being exceptionally fine. Miss Randall's singing of the song "The Moon and I" was one of the finest vocal performances we have ever listened to. "The Bell Song" by the quartette was magnificent. If music be a concord of sweet sounds this song is perfection when, rendered as it was by the quartette. The acting of Mr. Thos. Martin as "KoKo" was very fine; Poo Bah, "Lord High Everything Else", was inimitable in his acting, and his mellow voice was as clear and sweet as the notes of a bell. We regret that so few of the citizens of town thonght it worth their while to turn out to witness this performance. Mr. Boag informs us that the company ;viil give us another opportunity to witness their performance of the piece next spring on their return to the North. "We have got them on our list, and they will be missed," if they do not keep their promise. Orange Blossoms and Wedding: Bolls.' Messrs. Editors: For some time it has been an open secret that one of Winnsboro's most promising attorneys would take a trip to the old North State for the purpose of bringing back with him as his wife one of North Carolina's fairest daughters. On Wednesday this rumor was confirmed by the assembling at the depot of a large number of frieuds to see Mr. W. L. McDonald off and to bid mm God speed on the trip which was to have such a happy termination for him. Mr. McDonald was accompanied by Messrs. G. W. Ragsdale, Paul M. Brice, Julian Elliott, Jos. H. Cummings and Jos. K. Alston, who had been invited to witness the pleasing ceremony. The young lady, Miss Jessie Bell, is a daughter of Mr. Charles Bell, formerly a citizen of Fairfield county, but nov?' 1^1... r>:.,?:u? v r> u w canny piituiui ucui ji luuviiicj x-x. \sArriving at the residence of the bride's father, the groom and his friends were welcomed by a number of relatives and friends bf the bride. Promptly at eight o'clock the young couple presented themselves to the minister, the Kev. J. E. White, who pronounced them husband and wife. Mr. White was assisted in the impres sive ceremony by the Rev. C-has. E, McDonald. After congratulating the pair the company betook themselves to the dining-room where an elegant collation had been prepared and to which full justice was done. On Thursday the bridal party, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. McDonald, Miss Eunice Bell, Miss Ellen Reed and Miss Eunice Mitchell, and Messrs. Paul M. Brice, G. ~W". Ragsdale, Christopher Brice and Jos. K. Alston, re turned to "Winnsboro. A number of friends had been invited to the residence of Mrs. M. L. McDonald, the groom's mother, to welcome the happy pair to their new home. The reception was one of the most brilliant social events which have occurred In our town for some time. The large number of handsome pres cuts receivea. is cue oest evidence 01 the popularity of the young couple. The change from the old home to the new is one of the hardest trials that a young bride is called upon to bear, bul when endowed with beauty and grace she soon wins her wa y to all hearts, aud surrounded by a host of nev? friends the loss of the-- old ones wil.' not be so keenly felt. We hope that this young couple wil find in the life which lies before anc which has so anspieionsly begun tha perfect happiness wfrieh must iuevita bly follow from a onioa of hearts an< a clasping of hands. a. t. ?Better stop your cough while yoi can.

The farmers arc somewhat slow in preparing their land for an oats crop. Since frost has muae its appearance the farmers have been very busy, trying to do two days' labor in one. The hurry and bustle remind ns of spring. The health of the communit\ is generally good, save one or two exceptions. Mr. Jake Frick has been very sick for several days. Mr. J. Allen Turkett happened to an accident a short time since. .While working on an outhouse his feet slipped and he fell agaiust the bnilding and broke one of his ribs, from which he suffered much pain for several days.
