Fruit trees blooming; and people sitting on their piazzas after nightfall, bareheaded, and altogether in summer fashion. The Music House of the South. Has had ?n extensive businees lately. Their sales of pianos and organs for the month of December numbered thirty-four, com prising some" of the finest instruments ever brought to Augusta. Testimonials prove that' several of these sales were made in direct competition with New York and Atlanta, and that "The Music House of the South," under the management of G O. Robinson & Co., is located in Au gusta, where superior instruments, at tte lowest price-', make quick sales. Most Excellent A most excellent thing is the article wc copy from the Charleston News and Courier, concerning Southern people run ning foo! over Grant and Sheridan. Those Same Mules Our young friends, Mr. and Mrs. Eldred Addison, of the Ninety-Six section, have been among us on a visit to the family or John L. Addison, Esq. And again we have been treated to a sight of those four magnificent mules. They are finer than ever. A'ready. Gu no is already coming in to take the place of cotton. As one gone out, the other comes in. Theatrical John McCullough, who, since the im men.se dropping olf of L iwre;;ee Birrelt ^nvai'urt?ifeUvV-"he stage,'' will 'appear in Augusta on the 12th, as "Virginius," and on the 13th as "Othello." In thes? great Shakspearian characters he is with out an equal. Augusta will certainly give an ovation to the great actor. Mc Cullough has the best support, too, ever giyen a star-Ward, of the famous Ward -Barrymore Troupe, playing next to McCullough, and Lane, who last year shared honors with, and indeed surpassed Bat reit, our to thinking, played second. The whole company is first class, and will be the best ever inside this city.-Auflistet Evening Ai u s. The Pioneer of the Ked Oat. On sale-day last we heard so many fine accounts ot'the splendid oat crop?- through out thc county, that when we finally laid our eyes upon the venerable form of M\ Elbert DeVore, of'Kirksey's X Roads, we could not. help calling to mind that he was the pioneer of this salvation in Edge field. And who shall say that the red rust proof oat has not been a salvation ? Ldc in the fall of 1862, Mr. DeVore bongil t G bushels of these oats from an Abbeville farmer, for which he gave fif teen dollars. He sowed them in Decem ber, and realized largely. In 1S03 he commenced to sow in August between the cotton rows. And soon after, in the in terest of his fellow citizens, he began to trumpet the salvation. And he trump eted it faithfully, because he foresaw its great results. This was eighteen years ago; and now it would be almost impos siblc for arithmetic to compute the num ber of acre3 in Edgefield covered deep, at this very moment, with the deep Jiving or this agrcnltural salvation!

Inexpressibly Paiafuland Shocking ! To mest of the people of Edgefield an Johnston, and their respective vicinitie . the details of young Eoy's accusation ajain-t Mrs. Ida Vaughan, are airead well known, but to the great majority < thc citizens of Edgefield they will con: this week with an unexpected shock ar inexpressible pain. On Sunday mornir we found thpse accusations in telegraph form m the Charleston News and (burk and in this form we have transferred the to tht Advertiser, Subsequently, Mi Vaughan has sent us the prompt and en phatic denial which stands in another cc urr.n. And as for ourselves, until the co trary is proved, we shall believe what si says. A KentncHan and an Out-and-Onter ! See tho advertisement ot Torney Coleman, in another column. Mr. Tu ney is a Kentuckian who fought ma fully for the South, while, as all o readers know, our friend Dick is an oi and outer of brave old Edgefield. Ai offering as line stock as auj'Lody tl possibly could, why should they u< liberally patronized? Moro anon. Which is the Nobler? On Sunday morning last, the first bath of the year, and so bright and and beautiful as to arouse thankfulne the breasts of even brutes and d beasts, we were inexpressibly gratifie see the young men of our commu generally, in the house of God. On lovely and blessed day, the " deeecral were few ; so few indeed as to stand o bold and unenviable relief. And whi the nobler-even putting vital piety of the question-which is the 'more i ly, the more dignified, the cleaner, purer, the more considerate of pri and public virtue, the more respectfu wards mother, wife, sister, daughter attend the house of God on Sunday, < spend the holy day in loitering pitil about the streets and public square, di ing whiskey, uttering oaths, and tal vice,gaming and licentiousness? W the nobler, which'the more manly? I God if you can, young man-ti y } your whole heart !-and if you canno this, at least respect public decency guard female purity sufficiently to c this open desecration of the Sabbath, shall continue to exhort the young i of our community, most of whom have known intimately from their erat and we beg them to believe that we d in earnest and hu Ebie love, not in o' matic arrogance. Things are transpiring ery month in Edgefield which cry alom preachers and journalists to do their wi duty in the way of warning. Things wL cry aloud to every pure woman to wa well her own ways and the ways of the r, with whom she associates. This very iesu the Advertiser chronicles an affair wh should cause every watchman, o'.d i young, to rush at once to the top of tower, and give a loud alarm. The ti has inevitably come for people to 1< around them and think. We shall contii to exhort our young men to cease crating tho Sabbath ; an'' .? th again to believe that we do it m lo As for the elderly men who habitua des?crate the Sabbath, at the same ti that we exhort them, we ask from th no indulgence. They deserve the utm scathings that can be hurled at them the pulpit, by the press, or by virtue women. And God help them in the fi day ! Significant ls it not significant that the only t measures that the Legislature passed the interest of the p: jple were the t resolutions introduced by General Garj one endorsing our representative in Cc I gres3, HOD. M. P. O'Connor, in his r olution to permit National Banks to lc their money upon real estate, and t other looking after the interest of < State in its lien on the Greenville and C umbia Railroad. These woro the on two measures in which our people h any interest. The rest of the proceedin were in the interest of the huge corpor tions that have proved so arrogant as defy the authority ot the State, and rich as to corrupt the represen tali ves the people.-Beaufort Crescent.

He had abon? $700 when he struck the town, and the first thing he did was to lean against a hogging faro game. - He played carefully-mostly on " ca*es"-and it was nearly morning when he quit. He had one peculiarity, howev. er, whioh ivno fatal. Jic always played . the case when the last turn was ? cat-hop The dealer was a genial gentleman, and being "onto the system," accommodated the stranger with a cat-hop nearly every deal. Every time the case was played it came up loser. At last the Edgefield man was broke, and as he was an entire stran ger in the town, he borrowed fifty cents of the dealer to get a lunch. He went to a restaurant and called for three soft boiled eggs. Two of the eggs were transferred from the shells to a tumbler. The third was cracked and found to be bad, but not oefore it had slipped in with the other?. With a looK of hungry despair the Edge field man settled back in ins chair and' roared : " Another cat-hop, by jingo, and the case on top, as usual!"-Chronicle and Constitutionalist.
