Wednesday the ladies just throngad there and all who came were truly delighted. The decorations were of natural flowers, three pyramids of velvets of uianv a hue, with tine cut velvet ribbon, birds of every color and ostrich tips. To take a glimpse at this was enough to as-ure every one that the ladies in charge knew how 10 blend colors and understood their business. The hats were supeib that only an artistic modeste could render such. Alu. g the wall was ribbon festooned in a lovely manner that it was equal t.? the rainbow in its brightness. One of the French Pattern Ilats had a dozen black bird? on it, and created quite a sensation. The ladies of Winnsboro made many explanations: "How lovely!" ''How handsome!"' "Oh how beantifu! !*' Everyone that came rendered the verdict that everything was the prettiest that had ever been brought to wmnsoorc. Miss Nannie F. Jeffries, of Iial Limore, assisted by Miss iNetti3 Sitgreaves, of Wiunsboro, is in charge of this department. These ladies ticserve uiuch credit for this luvely display, and we feel sure that the ladies of Fairfield appreciate their efforts and bkill. COUBTPJiOCSEDiyCS. On \V>.lnflfcdAv the first case taken up was the Stale vs. Evans Yoong? assault and battery of a high nnd aggrava;cd nature. Verdict?Guilty. W. D. Douglass represented the defendant. Henry Ruff, indicted for attempt to break 111 a hou?e. Verdict?Gailt/. Ragsdale& Ragsdale represented the defendant. The following is the presentment of the graud jury: To the Hon. I. D. Witherspoon, Presiding Judge: We, the Grand Jury for Fairfield - 1,1 Uounty at me present term, wouiu respectfully report: That we have carefully examined the public buildiwg3 and the poor house and have found them neatiy and properly kept, with the inmates of the latter institution humanely and kindly treated. We have carefully examined such of the books of the public officers as have been submitted to us (the Coroner's hook has not been submitted") and we find them neatly aud properly kept aud their accounts correct. We find that one *pan of Ukj bridge over Little Hirer known as Bell's Bridge is seriously out of repair, and we would call the attention of the County Commissioners to the same and recommend the earliest repJr, as the travel over the said highway is extensive and frequent. We report the washing away of the bridge over Cedar Creek on the Sandy Level road, and would urge the att ention of the County Commissioners to this matter at once. We find the roads generally in a very bad condition, which is doubtless in cur opinion owing to the frequent i*o?nc We would call to the attention of the Couit the iact that the Board of County Commissioners are authorized to borrow money for the payment of its expenses and are informed that they have not borrowed funds for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the County, and in consequence therefrom many officers and creditors of small amount arc compelled to get their certificates discounted, and ot course the persons to whom these certificates are Issued lose tew per cent of M?oif co;h f!o!m which we think is unjust and a reflection upon our County. The necessity and appropriateness ot the board borrowing funds for the payment of claims against the County is brought prominently before us when it is remembered that if the board were to borrow there would be a competition amongst lenders, which competition would eunure to the benefit ot the County in the reduciion of interest amongst the offers made or to be made to the board. While in the discounting of the claims in the hands of the claimants there is practically t;o competition, and the loss by discount falls upon one person alone, to wit, the claimant, the party least able to lose it. All of which is .'dbmitted to his Honor. In closing our attendance it this term we would respectfully return thanks to his Honor the presiding Judge for his untiring courtesy and zeal i? .he discharge of his onerous duties.

The cotton crop will not be as gcod as promised in June, but will be a fair average. We attribute the failure of cotton, the last of July and first of August, to drought, incessant rain or cold snap, when it's exhaustion of land and fertilizer. I had a pleasant chat ou this subject not long since with Mr. F. Barber, of Richbnrg. He's an extensive farmer and of ripe experience and was confident that we did not use enough fertilizer to the acre and should apply it at different periods, say two hundred pounds before planting, two hundred at second ploughing and one hundred at last ploughing. This makes fire hundred pounds to the acre, and as he expressed it, the most profitable amount ro use. lie has used as much as a ton to the acre, to convince that the more fertilizer applied the longer it would stand a drought. The continued rain has damaged the open cotton considerably?some of it sprouting in the hull; but th? la-t few sunny days have improved its appearance wonderfully. icev. a. 3ica. nnuqau nasjusi ciosea a series of meetings at Mt.

Clladden's Grove, S. C ., Sept. 20. AX ADDRESS. Fclloic-Danocrau- of k'airfield: An acrimonious discord has prevailed among us for several months explicable in part no doubt by ihc circumstance that prior to this campaign there have been noticeable divisions amongst us. Harmony has continuously ruled, and hence a divergence of political views that elsewhere and under happier conditions would be regarded a mere matter of course has not unuaturaliy startled and olormn/? Hut 5? r-vnlnin nnd 1US tifv the persistent billcr acrimony that characterizes the division that still separates us, although it is now manifest there is 110 unavoidable danger to Democratic supremacy? I respectfully submit it docs not; to my mind the.situatiou is strangely inexplicable. I earnestly endeavor to scrutinize with candor anil impartiality tins sumuiou, uninfluenced by my affiliation with one of the factions. The d * 11* - rent schemes to affect a rcconcilialijn have received my cordial sympathy and active participation, ar.d their failures of success have profoundly disappointed inc iu common with ail the sincere well-wishers of Democratic supremacy and the perpetuation of prood ofovernmeut. O O- As your County Chairman, I have not been able to conceal from my observation that there has been a difference in the manner displayed by the two factions in their treatment of the different schemes that have been suggested to remove the di.-cord. I shall indulge in no charges nor reproaches unless indeed the mere statement of facts should so result, and even this 1 readily concede would be inexcusable in my official obligations impose such duty in the interest of harmony and for the information of the Tillmnnitr-c muln.nl! 1/CliiUUiaiC^ UV/bW AllluiMMivvw w...v, M..? Tillraanites, throughout the county. With these preliminary remarks I shall now detail the proceedings of a late effort to harmonize the two factions. I called a meeting of the Democratic Executive Committee for the 13th inst. that measures for harmony might be inaugurated. That part of the committee representing the Tillmanite clubs convened on the date mentioned in the Thespian Hall in Winnsboro. The pari representing the Anti clubs convened at the same time in the Town llall. The Tillmmitc committee ap .1 T T r* ti Iv-v-trr poimeu, on iiiuuuii ui ?. ?j. uuivn, o, committcc or five, consisting ot Messrs. T. L. Billow, S. 11. Rutland, W. J. Crawford, E. P. Jenkins and \V. 13. Estes. The committee appointed by the Anti Executive Committee consisted, I arn informed, of Messrs. J. E. McDonald, H. L. Duke, J. D. Harrison, II. N. Obear and David Itobertson. These committees were appointed to confer about measures for harmonizing" the two factions. Tl"eTilhnanite committee was instructed to make the following proposals: t. The ordering of joint primaries for Congressional and county nominations. TheTillmanite Executive Committee to aoooint a manager for each Anti club. The Anli Executive Committee to appoint a manage) at etch Tillmanilc club. The result of the primary to be ascertained by a joint canvass of the votes. 2. A joint call tor a county convenvention, composed of delegates from the clubs of the county as they now stand organized, representation to b? proportioned according to the new constitution. On the assembling of the convention Lvlei and Gaillard to concur in appointing a temporary chairman; they will then each resign or concur in <1 clariug the County Chairmanship vacant. Whereupon the convention .-.ial! at once proceed to the election of a chairman. 3. A certified roll of each c'nb, the correctness of each &hall be assured bv the affidavits of their re-peciive presidents and secretaries, shall be furnished the secretary of the said convention. These committees met on ihc date above mentioned. The Tilimanite committee submitted the foregoing proposals, all of which were rejected by the Ami committee, which submitted on its part a proposal as follows: To recognize the clubs as now organized, but the Antis to have tbo ..? iiio (Vim.tv f'hftirm.in. *'? Miv ?... Conservative, fair minded Democrats of Fail field, compare these proposals of the Tillmauite Executive Committee with thai of the Anti committee. Which strikes you &< most strongly eroboduuir the elements of fairness and a sincere desire for an adjustment of existing differences. Let me add that these proposals are still before the Antis for their acceptance.

A FAIR DIVISIOS REJECTED. The following is the proposition made by the Anns uut rejected uy me Tillmanites. It will be seen that this proposition provides that the Autis have the Chairman and the Tillmanites ? ?aa?ai HBaaBMpgaa new an laaaasa? have a maj wity of (he Executive i'mnraittee: \\*? <lir? f'<>!!awiiior hnsis ftf compromise between the two factions: 1.

That the Tillman faction i,ive to the other side the risrht to name a Countv Chairman who will nut be objectionable to the Tillman faction, and that the joint Executive Committee recommend his election to the County Convention, and recommend that this basis of compromise be accepted by both factions. After all, the best way to know the real merit of Hood's Sarsapariila. is to try it yourself. Ee sure to get Hood's. MEETING AT liLYTTlE\YOOT>. (Ridgncay Adcertiser.)

The meeting was called to order by \\r. W. Smith, who introduced Mr?.j. D. 11. Duncan as the first speaker. M?j. Duncan defined his opposition to the sub-treasury bill and pointed out its defects. lie was opposed to the ten per cent tax on national banks to se-1 f?m*P riwnlnl inn: was ill favor of the! abolition of the internal revenue tax, ami of reducing the tariff. Also in favor of free coinage of silver, lie did net think it was ever the intention of the Farmers' Alliance to become a scoicct political organization, and hoped none had gone into it for a selfish purpose. In closing Maj. Duncan t>aid if elected be would not only vote upon the various matters that would come before ti>c lluusc, but be an active and energetic member, ever looking to the true interest of his constituents. 1 1 _ Dr. Uompoeu next nurouuceu wr. W. Jj. Mauldin, of Greenville. Ilis speech with only a few slight variations was a reproduction of that of Maj. Duncan. However, Dr. Mauldin claimed that the speech originally was his production and thai the Major had only borrowed it from him. ile was in favor of converting the national banks into State banks and thereby increase the circulation. He was in favor of reducing the tarifl', but was no free trader. He spoke at some ienrrih of the unfair and sectional manner in which ihe laws, were in-1 tended to operate. In conclusion Dr. Mauldin spoke of his eight years service as a member of the State Legislature. and promised, if elected to the 1 National House of Representatives, that his every act should be in keeping ; with his past record. Dr. 11. M. Smith, of Spartanbmg, | followed and supported the sub-treasury bill and declared the national government should be as liberal and generous to the farmers as it had been to (he whiskey ring; that several thousand whiskey warehouses were kept up at the expense of the general government and the distillers were allowed to deposit their produce and given three years 10 pay the tax, and receive the same and the government iu every instance would make good all loss by shrinkage or otherwise, lie was also in favor of unlimited free coinage of silver and the abolition of the internal revenue laws. He closed lur .innnnlinff i.\ <lio (O V?* member him at the polls. Cat. G. W. Shell was next introduced. lie proceeded in a linging little speech to give his views upon the various issues. ](e was in favor of the sub-treasury plan but not the bill in its present shape; the ten per cent tax law should be repealed and also the internal revenue laws; favored free coinage of silver and dwelt at some length upon the overbearing corporation and monopolies and declared they should be restricted by not jrmil jir?n_ At 'tin C011 elusion of his speech Capt. She'l wjs loudly cheered. The last speaker was Coi. I. G. Mc Kissick, who amused the audience with several anecdotes. At this stage of the proceedings the gnats clustered around the grand old man and seemed to enjoy his witicism and voluntarily tendered him a piece of music in re turn and occasionally one or two would impress a kiss upon the Colonel's cheek. It is customary for all our people to turn out when a circus conies to town. It is also customary for all who have ever tried Ganter s chicken cholcra cure to recommend it to their neighbors.

Dyspepsia docs _ .. not get well of itself. It Eating reouires careful, persistent attention, and a remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which acts gently, "yet surely and efficiently.

" I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had but little appetite, and what I did eat distressed me, or did me ? little good. In an hour OUrn after eating i would experience a faintness, or tired, all-gone feeling, as though I had not eaten anything.
