Iilind Tom .Saturday Ni^ht.
C^uite a large and appreciative audience
was present at Buag's Opera '
House Saturday evening to hear lilind ]
Tom, and we can safely venture the
assertion that nobody was disappointed
iu his performance. He is, as he him- ;
self announced, entirely unacquainted
with the science or theory of music,
but plays with a refinement and exquisiteness
of expression that can 1
scarcely be surpassed, and when '
the fact that he is apparently a
helpless idiot is taken into consideration,
his performances seem simply
miraculous. Among the best numbers
on the program were the following:
Gottschalk's Last Hope. Delta Kappa
Epsilon Grand March, Hungarian
Rhapsody by Liszt, Titania by Weley,
and two very line descriptive pieces of j
his own composition, the i5:tttie ot
Manasas and Blind Tom's Itain Storm,
the latter of which he composed when
only live years of aye. Ilis imitation
of different musical instruments was
very remarkable, but possibly his most
wonderful accomplishment is that of
repeat ins* the most difficult pieces of
music after once hearing1 them. In
compliance with his request that some
lady or gentleman would piny sonicthing
for him to repeat. Mrs. W. II . '
Flenniken played :i rather .difficult |
gallop As soon a? site concluded !
Tom seated himself at the piano ami j
rendered it well?we ean pay him no I
higher compliment than by siying lie;
played it almost as well as Mrs. Flenniken
did.
He recited a verse of souie poetry
of which lie is the composer, but we
think the audience will agree with us
when we say that, accomplished musician
though he is. he could scarcely
be conscientously styled a poet. He is
no stranger here, but the public will
ho-cav tirP nf him.

Another thoroughly enthusiastic
n?eting of the Executive Committee of
lie Fairfield Agricultural Society was
leld on Monday,1 and a great deal of
rery important business was transited.

issuredly be made on Tuesday the .

liave numerous attractions during the

but the above will be <;out. of sight.*'
Mr. S. D. Dunn has accepted an in

The other essayist has not vet been sc- ;
lected, but lie will in all probability be
some one familiar with the culture of
tobacco.

Tin: WHITE OAK PRIZE CLVIi
Gives a Fisli Supper and Holds a JSiisine.-.s
Meeting.
Last Fridav evening a representative
of The News and 1Iek.vlj>, having
been kiudly iuvi;ed to attend a special
meeting of the White Oak Prize Club,
left town l'o;- White Oak about six
o'clock. The moon rose just a? twilight
wh* disappearing, and kiudly
Iifilled the road lor n- to drive comf??rtably
and with spued. The wagons
heavily loaded with cotton assisted by
the beautiful fair weather had leveled
the rough edge* in the road and the
buggy wheeled along without a jar.
At eight r-V.o ;k we drove np to the
school hout-c, and found the members
rapidly coining in. We had not heard
much about the Club recently, and had
feared that the interest in it. which
was so manifest a year ago, was subsiding.
All our fears are now gone.
These men at White Oak know the
weakness of human nature. Some
01.e or more of them are philosophers,
and what is best of all?unlike many
" * ? I ? -1. ~ ^ I

human weaknesses to ihe accomplishment
of noble and useful purposes.
Many people study out the weak points
in their telle .v-rnen, and appropriate
their knowledge to the attainment of
selfish end-. It is not so with our
sagacious friends in the White Oak
Prize Club- The application of the-e
discursive remarks consists in this: A
churl time ago, the member* began to
neglect their attendance on the meeting*
of the Club, not .so much because
ilicv didn't appreciate the worth of the
organization, but their enthusiasm became
Jateni on account ?f the busy
feason incident to planting and cultivating
the crops during the summer,
llow was this latent interest to be
revived? It has been done, and done
sflectnally. The Club decided to j;ive
i big fish try, and sure enough it
brought the members out, and when
3nee there they got down to business.
Just alter the meeting \vi< called to
Dvder an effort wa- made?possibly
Diit of consideration for some quests?
[o fall immediately upon the refresh
incuts. This was not t<* be done.
Business before pleasure" was the
keynote of the meeting, and the motion
?vas crushingly defeated. We don't
Ihink the guests regretted if, for 'twas
really refreshing to hear how encouragingly
the members talked. The
minutes of the last meeting and the
proceedings of the prossnt meeting
showed that the Prize Club is doing a
jjood work and the members have
pientv of fun too. The reporter caught
from the reading ?f the minutes on a
termer occasion that quite a di'ctusion
irose as to when a certain quantity of
ivarevmelons, &c., >h.?u!d be eaten.
Uumorou"! speeches were made, bits of
irliich appear in thy minute bo?>k, and
now and 1111*i good sound business is
utcispsrsed. in litis way, the pro;eedings.
of tlie (Jtib art! entertaining',
not tediou*, and, at flie same time,
profitable. The trrea'rr )>*rt of the
business transacted on last Friday
night was whether or not the Club
should offer prizes on wheat and other
[hiriijs besides cotton and crops most
isnaMy planted. The idea of the Club,
md it is a good one, is to enlarge the
>rizc list, and thus encourage diversified
fanning. The Club was almost
unanimous in the belief that farmers
rmi?t quit plantiag all cotton. Many
rigorous and thoughtful off-hand
speeches were made oh this line. The
President's addre.v-, which is published
ii another column, shows fairly well
;he sentiment on this line. After the
lelivcry of the address large pans of
2leg*nt lifth delightfully prepared were
rgrved, and an ample reward it was
for p'dtUjiice and the labor ot business.

'iroonirARD ITEMS.
"Woodward, i>.C..Oct.lfi.?Special: |
The corn crops in this section have
nearly all been gathered, and every
one seem to be highly pleased at the
line yield. The general opinion is that
a Yery little of the "Western corn will
be needed here next year, as most
everyone has made plenty to do them.
It is generally conceded now that the
cotton crops will be much lighter than
those of last year, yet not so light as
they are reported to be in some other
sections of the comity. We hear of a
number of farmers who hare picked
out as many as six and seven bales to
the plow with possibly half as much
more to pick. The price is lower now
than it has been at any time during
the year, in consequence of which
trade is very dull and bolli fanners
and .merchants are very blue. The receipts
t? date here are about four
hundred bales against one thousand at i
c I
same time last year.
The ginneries of Maj. Briee and Mr.
Calvin I3rice, the only two in this section,
are kept pretty busy now. The
Major has ginned about one hundred
and fifty bales to date.
I am glad to report that a number
of our enterprising- citizens are becoming
interested in the Farmers'
Institute that is drawing so near, and
will have on exihibition a very creditable
display of stock, poultry and agricultural
products. Should the talked
of balloon ascension be a reality it will
attract many from this section Avho
otherwise would not attend, and it is
to be hoped that it will take place and
thus be the means of augmenting the
crowd that wili attend the Institute.
! A\"e earnestly hope that everybody in
| the county will manifest such an in!
terest in the County Fair as will make
it a grand success. *
Mr. J. A. Stewart, one of our most
; successful and energetic farmers, is i
the only person we have noticcd pre- <
paring his land for a big crop of wheat. 1
He expects to sow only about six acres, (
but w ill take special pains in selecting
his seed and will sow early and manure
heavily and thus insure a good crop.
Mr. Mewart takes a consiuerauie |
interest in poultry and has about one j 1
hundred and lifty-live fowls of mixed f
fancy breeds. Among this number is
an old hen that deserves a passing j
notice from the fact that she has
passed a chicken's three score and ten. j
This faithful old hen's career of use- ?
fulness extends over a period of twelve *
year.?, and she seems to be proud of :
the fact that during all this lime she .
has successfujly baffled every effort
and contrivance of cully to bag her.
The law of decrepitude seems to have
been reversed in her case, and instead '

weight of years, she seems ta be grow- 1
ing more erect and her sprightly gait
more graceful. We hope Mr. Stewart !
will take special care of this old hen !,
and see how much longer he can make ?
her live. We would suggest to Mr. ^
Stewart that he exhibit her in the
County Fair as the only hen perhaps in i
the County that has long and success- 1
fully out-generaled cully and other night
hawks. \\rc think she would
find a place among the curiosities.
The population ?f this town was increased
a few days ago by the advent
of a little boy a son of Mr. George
Brice and grandson of Air. Calvin
Brice. As he has the honor of being
the first son and grandson he will no
doubt receive his full share of ad- J
miration and attention. m.

The friendships formed will 1

And even after we had said our tearful

words of loving cheer and tokens of
sincere appreciation followed us.
We received from the Ladies' Benevolent
Society an elegant solid silver
scrvic, beautifully engraved, which
will be carefully preserved as one of
the jewels ol our home; a perpetual
symbol of the loving spirit that
prompted the gift. We can only assure
our dear friends that we appreciate
their gift beyond the power of

:Twas indeed hard to part with this n
band of brothers, the Presbytery,
every one of whom we loved. But I
feel that we are still comrades, marchins
under the same banner.
The trip to Philadelphia was pleasantly
made in about twenty hours, and
we were met at the Broad St. Station
of the PcnnsyJv ;.,ia railroad by a committee
of four ciders who conveyed us
to our present boarding house at 181G
Christian St. where we were soon
made to feel at home.
On Thursday evening a commttcc of .
ladies called oh Mrs Chalmers.
On Friday evening a public reception
was given at the church. The
large lecture room and platform were
beautifully decorated. The music was
furnished by a choir of thirty voices,
and instrument, under the direction of
Prof. Cornell, the precentor of the
church.
Addresses were made bv Revs. Barr,
D. I).. Collins, D. I)., Dales, D. D.',
Crowe, Price, Kennedy, Heiger,
Ilorron, of the L". 1'. Church.

arrangement to the pastor elect, the j
precentor, and to the pastor's wife. j
After this refreshments were served ;
to all: and then an opportunity given j
to all to be presented to the pastor.
On Sabbath morning we preached to !
a large audience.
At 2.30 p. m. we attended a Sunday
School jubilee. Two addresses of
welcome were made, and when the
pastor was being welcomed by the .
Superintendent and presented to the :
school, a sweet little girl came on the j]
