Almost a Miracle

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.

Those Same Mules
Our young friends, Mr. and Mrs. Eldred

magnificent mules. They are finer than

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 !

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.

The Amended Railroad Charter.
Under the lately amended railroi
charter, President Jones, of the Edg
Held. Branch Railroad Company, giv
notice that a meeting of the corporate
of the Edgefield, Trenton and Aik

Thursday the 15th instant, for tho pu

Trenton, those of Aiken, and those
Charleston-are named in this noti(
and it is to be earnestly hoped they w

and begin this great work with the sp ii
it deserves. If Edgefield, Trenton, Ail:

' of 21 miles-a road that would iusure
incalculably to the material prosperity

, comes a scoff and a hissing.

SJ Saturday last, was large and earnest.
considerable majority of the Trustees
were present, and much valuable worK
was cut out and arranged. The Secreta

of the proceedings of the meeting, as
they promised They will no doubt,
however, do so in time for our issue of
next week. The following admirable
resolutions were offered by John L. Ad

great cause, :u.d unanimously adopted
by the meeting:
Resolved, That the School Commis
sioner of this County be requested to
appoint meetings in each ot t?e Town
ships during the present year, fer the
purpose of advancing the interest in the
Public Schools, and that such meetings
be held at such times as the Trustees of

Resolved, That tho Executive Commit

appoint one or more speakers to address
the meetings.

bills for their benefit. Capt. Allen's
financial interests, however, will keep
him out of politics for some ' i me to come,

A RUN Ot? BAD LUCK.
Thc Saif Story of a Man who Came
Over from Edgefleld With 9700.
Thi? story is told of a man who came
over from Edgefield and fell among thieves
in Augusta. 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

A CARi) TO THE PUBLIC.
Woask a careful reading ami a thought
ful consideration of what follows, lt is
now over twelve years sirce a new cure
for chronic diseases WHS discovered,
known as "COMPOUND OXYGEN " Tho
resuRs which have followed its use up
to tiiis time have been to remarkable
that it is beginning to attract tho widest
attention. Many intelligent physicians
in varions parts of the country have,
after a careful investigation of its scien
tific and pathological claims, used it in
cases where all other known remedies
had failed, and with a success alike sur
prising to the nselves and their patients.
In Consumption, Catarrh, Asthma, Bron
chitib, Headache, Dyspensia, and the
wide range of Neuralgic disorders from
which so many sillier life-long tortures,
it has rarely failed to give relief, and in
many ceses to make permanent cures.
It is not a drug, lint a now combination
of the two eloinonls which make up our
common air, giving exygen in excess.
It is taken by inhalation, and cures by
natural and orderly processes-first, by
eliminating the excess of carbon which
has accumulated in tho system; and
serondly, by a revitalization of all die
great nervous contres. In order to give
the public an opportunity to learn af
about this new treatment, wo have pro
