Messrs. R. J. McCarley and J. B. Crosby look a fancy to Silas Pauldings' fine turnout, and procured it for a drive ?the aforesaid turnout being- a no-born ox hitched to a buggy. The two gentlef men got into the vehicle, and started on the anticipated ride with great glee. The noble animal became infused with ^ the spirit that animated his drivers, r pulled himself together, curled his tail over the dash-board like an arrow from a bow, earning the two (will we not say frightened) cotton buyers like the winds down Main street, l finally pulling up of his own accord in * front of Lundecker's bar.

J Owing to the rush of matter, and the : limited space one of the most interesting happenings of ihe week has not i appeared in our columns. This im J portanl and enjoyable event to those j | whoie privilege it was to be present j was the banquet given by the pride of i the town, the Gordon Light Infantry. j It was on Mondav evening when the i " : Gordons passed the admirable inspecj tion which for years they have been j wont to pass and it was on Monday i night, the 12th, that the excellent bani quct was given. The company always do the thing up m royai styie, nnu uas ; occasion furnishes no exception to the ; prestige of the company. The supper j and beverages were supplied. prepared ; and served under (he supervision of : the best caterer of the town, Mr. F. i W. Ilabenicht, whose reputation has j been firmly established by his often i repeated services in this line. | The Gordons were all in a good | humor to start with, and at the close of the banquet elated by the uiany hijjh compliments paiil them by Gen. Bonhaiu and other speakers during the evening, not 4o say an\thing of the elation caused oy artiii*.;i:iI rut an?1, 'hey leit the banquet table wi:h ihi.n^ht and satisfaction that Win >"-"0 puss?es>sed one of the i>e>? inp--?ni?-> in the State.

A letter from (Jen. John Bratton, expressing his regret of not being' able to attend the festivity and which contained words oi: encouragement, was read. The reading of the letter by Captain Jordan was punctuated throughout with cheers and applause. Messrs. J. E. McDonald. W. 1). Douglass, II. B. McMaster, Captain Jordan. DuBose Egleston. H. X. Obear, "\\\ T. Crawford and T. K. Elliott made short speeches. THE HALLE MASQUE Is now the ab>orb"mg tc>pio among the fun-loving ladies and lassies of our town. From all we can learn every one appears to be carried away with the idea, a- d it promises to culminate 5n a tsrsturi ?n<v>.AQK iii ilm not distant futnre. T lings have so materialized that the 5: h of June has been selected for the night of the ball. Let-as have the ball by all means, for it is undoubtedly the most unselfish of all terpsichoreau entertainments. The participants enjoy their incognito and chuckie under their masks at each other, deeming themselves >ecure from recognition and go through a series of ridiculous antics irreatlv to the edification of the lookers-on. The maskers certainly enjoy themselves, but not more ?> than the audience, for who that has sat and watched the throng of gaudily attired men and women moving about in the solemn grandeur of the past, perfectly oblivious and supremely indifferent to the hilarious effects their noddin? and * <i,~ UOOUiriJT IS prUliUCHIg lipvu mc spcwators. Why, it drives the last remnant of the bines from ns before we are aware. Morose indeed must be the nature that cannot find abundant source for amusement at a musk ball and cannot catch at least a gleam of enjn ment from theoveifljw of youth's happiness1. Go in for it then and make it a grand success. All the young laJies, without exception, are expecied 10 be on hand in costume on the night ot the 5th of June. Ana now as mere appeals <u uc some mi-understanding as 10 who is meant when the adjective young is placed before ladies, we would simply say without essaying a solution of the problem of who has the best right to the exclusive u-u ot the word, that in the vernacular of the ball room it means "old enough, big enough, big enough, old enough." With thiselucidation we hope all will be satisfied and attest their satisiacuon oy gracing the occasiun with their presence when it comes off'. The Italian band, of Charlotte, has been written to with the view of engaging them for thai night, and this will guarantee as tine music as the most fastidious c;>uld desire. ayroisimesrs ofexvheha toss.

Cooper's---Uear Creek Takes 110 Stock in "the Great IJamboozler"?Something About Those Students, Penitentiary Guards slid Overseers. Messrs. Editors: Friday, the iGth inst, was the date of one of the most enjoyable occurrences that has taken place in the Boar Creek community for some time, it being the occasion ot a picnic at the residence of Mr. M. L. Cooper. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper, with their accustomed hospitality, had kindlv thrown open their house and yard to the pleasure-loving folks, voting and old, of the neighborhood, and fully sustained !heir reputation for genial, pleasant entertainment of their guests. The Ridge way Cornet Band was expected to he present and enliven the proceedings, but the expectant crowd was disappointed and the rural echoes of the vacinity were not awakened bv the "sweet strains" of said "musicians." Local talent came to the rescue with violin and organ, however, and there was no lack of music if an organized band was lacking. The young folks amused themselves by chatting, joking, dancing and passing the compliments of the day, etc., and some of (hem, doubtless, in a more earnest and laudable diversion, as there were two comparatively recent brides and grooms present and several candidates for the same kind of alliance or happy entanglement. Oh, yes, the young people about here believe in courting and getting married. Besides those from the immediate community there were present trom ? - * ' if? . greater or jc-s r.isiauces, .ui>* mm me Smiili, from Georgia. Miss Lizzie Rosborough and Mr. Henry Isbcll, of Kwshaw, and Mr. J. S. Lomas, of Richland, School Commissioner Duke was present also, and wa| cordially greeted by his old friends ^md neighbors. He was warrnlr ctfbgatnlated upon his re-appearance In Bear Creek society after an involuntary absence of several months causcd ty severe illness and the recipient of manv hearty wishes for his complete and speedy recovery. (Won urosnects down here are .so much brig-liter than at this time last year that everybody is comparatively happy and entirely hopeful. Stands are good, and labor not so scarce as was feared. The oats are looking very well. Those who sowed early last fall have them ready to feed with now. Politics are in a comatose state. The people are more intent upon farmism now than any other "ism," but arc to be counted"safe and solid as usual for regular old straightout Democracy. Everv conservative man about here and in Kidgeway is unanimous in condemnation of the disgraceful veiling and hooting of a lot of the Tillmanites at the Ridgeway meeting, and both communities are proud that it was not done by home folks. They beat those sixteen (?) University students, penitentiary guards and "overseers" so badly that they were not heard of at all. I am uot acquainted with those overseers, but knew all the guards ^present and so far as my knowledge goes, they were from Fail-field and came up to the meeting just as any other Fairfield men had the right and were likely to do. Thev seemed to behave as geiitlcrneii, and it must have been those mvtcrious "overseers" that disturbed the great bamboozlcrs imagination so. The course of Tiie News and Herald suits us finely down here; it give* both sides a chance and dej corous, manly discussion is sure to j help the right side of the question. OCCASIONAL. OUR ri7Tf.AI)ELFiri.i J.ETTEK. Philadelphia, May 15. Perhaps no | local election in I he country lias exj cited so much general interest and j attention in both the Democratic and | Republican parties, as the one jiut j pending here in the third Coni greisional District. It is for the snc| cessor of the late Hon. S. J. Randall j in Congress and both on account of the j distinguished abilities of Mr. Randall ! as a Matesman and his peculiar I for a Democrat, on the tariff issue, the | question a* to who should succeed him ! tine hr?fii t!i<? siiihii-frt of much bolilical ! comment. The third district is one | which is said lo have been gerrymandered in the interest of the Democratic party and Mr. Randall, and exJ tends from one corner ot the city to I almost the other extreme end, and in| eludes within its limits a huge carpet and woolen manufacturing district; hence the election would he all the more prominent, for it would give expression to the preponclance of tariff reform or proteetien s-entimenl within its limits. Mr. Randall had virtually no opposition during the latter portion or nis uongressionai career, cimci m his own or the Republican party; for ail recognized his eminent abilities as a statesman and character as a man, and though he was not 111 sympathy with the Democratic idea of free trade he always received a cordial support from them. The third district is largely Democratic, though there were several factions in it and at one time a serious split was feared, thus giving an advantage to the opposition, but they finally got together and worked harmoniously together for the best interest ot the party. The nomination which is virtually an election was tendered to the Hon. Richard Vaur, a Democrat of the old school, with decided and positive i views on tariff reform, and who has lougut me protective system assiduously ever since bis entrance into public life. He is an old man, well on in his seventies, but still lull of energy and push and is withal a highly educated and upright man and one who would reflect credit on his constituency and the party at large. His most ardent opposers ever acknowledge his sound character and ability to fulfill the duties of the office. He has filled several offices of public trust, was once mayor of Philadelphia and is now prominently connected with several institutions of different kinds in the city. The district will thus be represented for the first time in a long whi 1a hv ii man 111 thorough svmnathv with principles of free trade and is an evidence of growth of tariff reform in tliis manufacturing- district. lie will be a worthy successor to the honored Ilanriali. ex Minister Adams to Biazil is the Republican nominee, though there isn't the slightest apprehension that he will make any sort of a run, The race for Governor of Pennsylvania is beginning to assume shape, and candidates are looming up from all over the country. Among the Republicans Quay is boss and it is said that he has the naming of the successful nominee. You hear of boss-ridden States, but I suppose Pennsylvania is nhnni ns hwiilv hnsi-nddnn ns von could well imagine, and the man who has lhe "pull on me party machine" leads a lonir ways in the race. Among the Democrats ex-Govcrnor 1'attison seems to be the favorite candidate, it is thought that he could with the different factions in his own party command a respectable support from the opposition. However, the possibilities for Democralic success in Pennsylvania are not the most flattering. The summer season is beginning already to commence and excursions to the various resorts on (he 2Jew Jersey coast are taking a great many people from the city. Sunday is the great day for these excursions, and many who work during the week and are closely housed avail themselves of this opportunity to get a days outing on the seashore. Atlantic city is the most popular resort with Phiiadelphians and there are many fine hotels there which have developed it with a verj fashionable and popular place for enjoying the delightful sea breeze and baths. o. DEDICATION' OF COLEMAN LODGE. Messrs.

Saturday, May the 10th, had been set apart as the day on which this hall should be dedicated according to the rules of this mystic order. It was proposed that there should be a picnic, and the public be invited. A very large nu:uber of people were preseut to witness the.?e very interesting ceremonies. J. B. McFadden, Deputy G. M., (and also treasurer of Chester County) wrflic nrAsenf to take charsre of the dedi ? t ? . calory exercises. Prof. Witherow, of "VVinnsboro, had been invited to de-! liver a public address oh Masonry. A number of other vitiiors were present from Chester, Winnsboro, Union and from some of our country iodges. A Grand Lodge was formed, c?m- j posed of the following brethren: J "R \rr?F?dden. ft. M. Dra tem. W. H. Witherow, Deputy G. M. pro tern. J. A. Blake. S. G. W. pro tem. M. D. C. Colvin, J. G.

Architect pro tem. A procession was formed in the new hall and marched to the Academy, with four iiasons bearing the ark in the midst. The dedicatory services were solemnly observed in the pres ence of a large, orderly and anxious crowd of spectators. Prof. Withe- I row's address was written in the best, of language, pleasantly delivered and I was replete with instruction on the origin, history and principles of our; ancient order. The procession then returned to the hall. Thtftable groaned under the load of J / j Highest of all in Leavening Power.? ABSOLl/T I i I ?00(1 things prepared by the kind and i thoughtful ladies. Th:re was the | greatest abundance of well prepared j food, and during all of my life I have i never known a more orderly crowd, j j 1 felt, proud of my neighbors, and if; [ our visitors da not think well of us j I thev are hard to please. Col. I. G. McKissick, of Union, be-; | ing present, was called on for an afterj dinner speech. He kindly consented. The Colonel paid a very touching tribute to Masonry, ile wisely eschewed : politics, not even alluding himself to j the fact that he is a candidate tor Con- j gross, lie boastfully referred to the i fact that he has a young wite. Some j of us were anxious to know the methods he used to capture her. Really was it because he was the most popular man in Union County, or was it because he was the best looking? After all it may have been on account] of his widespread reputation as an abstemious man at the table. The Colonel has been accredited with saying that the turkey (I suppose he means a jrobler) has "the most iticon- j ' * - ?I -i* I | veiiieiu size oi any iuwi ui mc icumered tribe: it is almost loo much for yne man, and yet not quite enough for t wo. Really, laying all jokes aside, I expect to vote for Col. McKissick, unless he does something before the day of election worse than anything I13 has ever done yet. lie was once fairly: elected, but was cheated out of it. | One of the most pathetic political speeches I ever listened to was delivered by Col. McKissick daring our dark days in the Court House at Wiunsboro. lie traveled much, labored hard and rendered mucli valuable assistauce to his State. I for one have not forgotten it, and sincerely ?t? -?x i i trust mat ottiers are equauv graiemi. Since the days of our deliverance, Col McKissick has gracefully yielded his claims to other gentlemen. No one who knows Col. McKissick can doubt his patriotism or his loyalty to the masses. I am not in politics, neither do I propose to go into them. I thought it might not be improper tc say this much in behalf of my friend?entirely without his knowledge. J. d. m. Ualsellville, S. C. May 10. ADVICE TO 3IOTHSBS. Hits.
