Parties were here trading from different parts ot lhe county, a good many of them not having been in the habit of selling cotton or making purchases here. We noticed several ntrsons from the .Tenkinsville neighborhood. A merchant from the county bought his fall siock in town last week and stated that he had bought at least five per cent cheaper than he could have done in Columbia. In tact Winnsboro is making a considerable drive in the whole sale line this fall. One merchant, and he is a liberal advertiser too, sold himself, one day last week, three hundred dollars worth of goods for .cash. Indeed the closing of the first month of the fall trade is-most gratifying, and proves the wisdom of the determination of onr merchants to offer goods very low for cash seeking compensatu 11 in the increased volume of trade. The "squeezing" prices given by our cotton bu\ers is also evidence of the new life and effort of the old Boio.. whose wide awake young men are coming to the front with a vim which cannot fail to push her forward in ihc r&c..

Major Pagan has kindly furnished us the weather and crop bulletin of the Soujh Carolina Weather Service for the month ending Saturday September 28, and for the information of the public we publish it below. We select only local points in the report: Rainfall for the State was normal; temperature tor the State a little below norma!; sunshine for the State was normal. Weather conditions throughout the week have been most favorable to the farming interests, especially lor picking cotton, which is being picked as rapidly as possible. From the tenor of reports it is expected to fall a little short of an average. The stable is good and commands good prices, which will more than offset the crop of last year. Other crops, eucli as corn, peas, potatoes, turnips, etc., are reported fine, promising a large yield. Farmers are satisfied with the general results. ; EXTRACTS FROM REPORTS OF CORRESPONDENTS. Moiiticeliy?(Hayne McMeekin:) The fine harvesting weather has been fully utilized, many complain thit the vield of cotton does not correspond with the show in Ihe field. YVinnsboro?(Jas.

A FRIEND'S ACCOUNT Of the Mobley-McCrorey Marriage. I wish to give you an account' of the marriage of Mr. Moses Mobley an/3 Miss Emma McCrorey, both of -Fairfield. which took place at Mt. Zion Church on the 24t"n inst. At half .past four P. M., there was quite a flutter of exciiemenr, ana it was evident ironi the gay assemblage that a marriage was at band. The church was tastelydecorated with floral ^offerings , frbm the neighborhood. The bridesvmaids were ten in number, as follows; Misses Nannie McCrorev and Love Moblev, Misses Kathleen Hall and( Mary Culp, Misses Emma Ciilp and: Sue Moblev, Misses Florence and Julia Nichols and ^fisses Martha Mobley and Lula McCrorey. The srate-sirls were Misses M&rv Ragsdale and E?a Scott. Tbe flower-girls were Misses Snsie McCrorey and Fannie Ford. These little girls were-lovely,, and performed their duties admirably. The Apollo-like ushers were Messrs. W. S. Hall, Jr., and J. G. Ferguson., The bevy of charming bridesmaids,"dressed in snowy white, cauie, in 4by. twos and crossed over taking their places upou the rostrum. Then came the bride, leaning upon the arm of her dignified and handsome bridegroom., keeping lime to the "Wedding-March" and radiant in white albatross, and satin, she * "Walked in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry^ skies, And all that's best of dark and-,bright Met in her aspect and her eyes, Thus mellowed to that tender light, Which heaven to gaudy day denies." The ceremony was gracefully ,aad impressively performed by the Rev. A. McA. Pittman. The bride received congratulations and returned V home. If 1 * .li j' may uuppaiess uueuu V(jier," uiuy guardian angels surround her and may "the lovely stars, which- blossom in the limitless meadow of -heaven,!?- be tcer to her the "for-get-me-notsIof.God and the angels." a kriend, COLORED TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
