of catarrhal fcvor, but seemed to bo

of cholera morbus which resulted
in his death. Mr. Powell was a native
of Fairfield, and lived bore up the

Ho was thirty-night years of age, and
leaves a wife and six children, lie
was highly esteemed in the place of bis
birth, and his death will be universally
regretted. Tho remains wero brought

Death of Mk. Wm. C. Neal.?Mr.
Will. C. Neal, of the serious accident
to whom mention was made in Thursday's
paper, died on Thursday morning'
at two o'clock, from the injuries
ho had received. Mr. Neal was ihe
son of tho lato Rev. Ilenrv Neal, who
was well known here before the late
war. lie was about thirty-seven years
of age. Ho spent most of his life
nere, ana niui many menus. his
death, before ho had readied his prime,
is indeed a sad occurrence, and the
intelligence will be received with deep
regret. The funeral services were
held in the Methodist Church, conducted
by the llev. J. S. Connor, and
tho remains were interred in the adjoining
ccmotery.

An Accidental Fiuk.?The many
friends of Mr. Jesse U. Delancv will be
sorry to learn that his dwelling house
was consumed by lire on Saturday.
It occu.iTCa about (ho midukjioi ihe
day, v/hilo the family were at dinner.
It is supposed to have caiight from a
spark dropping on the roof, and it had
mude such headway in the dry shingles
ihftt all efforts to subdue Hie llames
were fruitless. From the dwelling his
gin house and screw caught, the former
being badly damaged, and I he latter
entirely consumed. Theentire loss will
amount to something over two thousand
dollars, with no insurance. We
are informed that the colored people
of tho vicinity did noble work, and
made every effort to save the building.
Mr. Dclanoy will have the sympathy

Chess Cmjb.?On last Tuesday the
devotees of tlmt noble game, Chess,
held a meeting for the purpose of organization,
and a Chess Club was
formed with Mr. Jno, J. Neil as President.
No doubt this will prove quite
a source of amusement and recreation
to the members during the long winter
evenings. Caissa, or the game ol
0I1C88, was invented during the sixth
century, by an Indian Brahmin called
Sisla. It is tho only game, perhaps,
which is played at for nothing, and.yet
it warms tho blood and brain as much
as if tho gamesters were contending
for tho heaviest stakes. It is related
that King Charles I. was playing at
chess when news was brought of (be
final intention of the Scots to sell him
to the English; but so littlo was be
discompoed by this alarming intelligence,
that ho continued bis game with
the utmost composure. And there is
an instanco of a lady's suffering herself
to be undressed without perceiving
it, while watching (ho movements
of Queens, Bishops and Knights. It
is purely a scientific game and victory
i9 to be ascribed solely to one's own
skill, and by no mcans'to blind chance.
Wo wish the Club success.

Verp little sickness In the community,

The old church at Pino (Jfrovc was
sold a short time since. Mr. J. Allen
Turketl was the purchaser. .Although
the old church may be torn down and
a new one erected in its stead?still
happy thoughts will cluster around
the memory of old Pine Grove, by
many whose heads are becoming
frosted by ago.
This portion of Fairfield was well
represented at the conference in Columbia,
and judging from their not
having returned, some of litem mijst
bo enjoying themselves.
There was to have been a panorama

paper, wo have concluded to send
thorn. As is well known, Kidgcway
can boast of ncven or eight stores well
slocked with goods, and (lie merchants
claim that they can and will sell goods
"cheaper than the cheapest," and if
any one is inclined to donbt it only
give (hem a trial and bo convinced.
From the quantity of cotton lying
around the depot and about the place,
one would judge the merchants were
not standing in need of greenbacks.
Well, we don't suppose they are; they
aro all solid, and if any set of merchants
can stand a financial panic we
think the Kidgewav merchants can.
This placc can also boast of a No. 1.
drug store, two wood and blacksmith
shops, a lirst-class school for the whites
and a good colored school, several
churches in ami near it. iinstnfUf.ft.
with one of the most attentive and
obliging assistants it has ever been our
good fortune to meet with, three barrooms.
and last though not least, a
working Lodge ot A. F. Masons, who
hold their meetings regularly once a
month.
A goodly number of frccdmcn havo

are preparing (o take their departure
for the "Land of Flowers."
In conscquence of the poor crops,
low prices and stringency in money
ui;inui>, nit1 Dinners appear despondent
and low-spirited. Such will be
the case so long as the farmers plant
so much cotton and neglect to plant
grain. The cotton crop and the prices
for the same for three years past
ought to satisfy those who have
pursued this course to change
their tactics and try for one year at
least (ho experiment of reducing tho
acreage of cotton and paying moro
attention to grain. Kusticus.
