The Cantata to be given in our town oon will bea beautiful affair-beautiful y sung, beautifully dressed, beautifully icted. We attended a rehearsal for the irst time s few days back, and were ex remely surprised at th? admirable prog ess made in the undertaking. The Can ata will be rehearsed at .Mrs. Wigfall's on Thursday evening next. 1 Beautiful Christening. There was a holy and beautiful cele? nony at "Edgewood" on Tuesday morn ng last, when little Lucy Francis Fiskens Dugas, on a bed of roses, heliotrope ami nignonette, and bearing in her tiny hand , spotless lily, was made regenerate and eceived into the bedy of Christ's Church. The sacrament of baptism was adminis ered by the Rev. Edward T. Walker, of Trinity Church. Kouutain Creek. KIBKSEYS, Aug. 17.-Mountain Creek Jnurch has just ended a rejoicing uieet ig of five days.

Wright, of '2 linton ward, writes usa little note from Saratoga, begging us to forward him the ADVEP.TISKE to New York, and speaks of lome beautiful girl at the great watering place as "our girl." We are not aston ished at the word "our," because whom iver Henry loves, we love. But then we wi?h to know who the girl is. Come, out with it, Henry. The Cadet Examination. The examination-written--of the 12 applicants from Edgefield for the bem ficiary cadetships, took place in our Court Hons? on Tuesday last. Major B. F. Lovelace, Mr. Ii. P. Henry and Dr. Cart ledge were the examiners. The result will not be announced until sometime ntxt week. A Notable Trial. In Camden, next week, will come off a notable trial, in which two able and prom iner voung men of Edgefield will cross Bwo. We allude to the trial of Capt. Haile, for the killing of Blair. In this trial Solicitor Bonham, State's Attorney, will b* assisted by Judge T. J. Mackey, while the leading counsel for the defence will be Col. John R. Abney. This case, tinged a? it ia with politics, will be of great interest and attract universal atten tion. Charming Pee Dee Ladies in Edgefield For a fortnight past, Edgefield has re joiced in the presence of two very charm ing Pee Dee ladies-mother and daughter -Mrs. W. J. McKerall and Mis? Kate McKerall, of Marion. And while Edger field has rejoiced, no sun has shone in the generally blithesome hr me of our hon ored friend and brother, Major W, J. McKerall, of the old Marion Star. But that gentleman is not altogether selfish, and yields up his Bun and morning star to beam for a while in the home of an old friend-Mrs. S. S. Tompkins, of our vil lage. But when we tell him that Majcr S.. S" like everybody else, is deeply and hopelessly i-i love with his morning star, then whc.^ will he think? Yes, the old Ms?or, under the Pee Dee affhtus, has gone back thirty-five years! A Splendid Move. Coi. A. P. Butler, State Commissioner of agriculture, will shortly organize three or four Agricultural clubs in Edgefield County. He proposes to arganize cluba among the farmers throughout the State for the discussion of live agricultural questions and the improvement of the fermera. A genuine [revival in agricul ture has struck this State, and the most encouraging results are expected. A Free and First Class Institution. You can now send. your sons to the South Carolina College for from $125 to $175 per session of nine months. See the card in another column. And your son can now go to this first-class inatitu. tion and live like a gentleman for $300 the n.ne months. And in this $300 we include board, fuel, washing, lights, clothing, traveling exoenses, theatres, balls, and social, amusements generally. For liquor and tobacco we make no allow ance, inasmuch as we consider the one the deepest disgrace to the human race, and the other the dirtiest, most selfish and moBt unpardonable extravagance, Tui tion is absolutely free. And contemplate the contrast. In our day the actual col lege expenses were almost $500; and if you lived liked a gentleman, as all South Carolina boys in those days did, your ex penses were from $1,000 to $1.500. But now you can go to one of the best col leges in the 1'nion, and right at your own do;r, for from $150 to $300 a year, just as you choose to make it. And why the e.tizens of Edgefield do not send their sous, is a y^ery great mystery to us. The course, of study is lett optional with the student. A Fine Institution in a Lovely Locality We allude to the English and Classical Institute at Leesville-our fair neighbor Leesville. And, aa will be sesn by re ference to our business columns, the 5th session of ^this popular school began on Monday last.

This city baa been singularly fortunate, s.3 several citizens have of late gotten ??mall fortunes in drawing prizes in the lottery. The last fortunate one is Mr. Wm. W. Irwin, a Clerk in the Auditor's Office of the L. & N. R. R., 2d and Main st3. Mr. Irwin yesterday, while working in the office, received an offic'al looking document bearing the N. 0. post-mark, and discovered, to his great joy, official notification that he bad drawn one-filth of $75,000 m the Louisiana State Lottery, amounting to $15,000. The ' acky ticket was No. 85,003. Some time ago Mr. Ir win purchased his first lottery ticket, v*ry nearly the number which then drew the capital prize. He then thought he would try again, and this time produced such golden results. Mr. Irwin is a mid dle-aged man, married, and has a small family. He has been connected with the L ? N. for several years, and has been a frith lui worker, and many friends are pro fuse in their congratulations.-Louisville Courier Journal, July 14. The colored voters are beginuiug to understand politics as well if not better than most white voters. One of the candidates for an office at the municipal election in Austin not long since rsl ?ed on the fidelity of an old family servant to help him out among the coloxed voters. The candidate was beaten. After the election he Wis told that the colored political fiend had voted ?gainst him. He did not btlieve it; but meeting him one day the ex-candidate said : "I'll give you a dollar, Jim, to tell me whom you voted for." "I voted agin you, boss." "Well, here is the d>l!ar for your candor." "Look here, b)8s, if yer am gwine to pay for the cindor, I mout as well own up. I voted agin you free different times.

MESSRS EDITORS: A rapid dri the morning we left home, broug u.i to Trenton a half hour before t train. At Columbia we took a Slee er, avoiding a great deal of che a' ful dust that we usually get, especii ly at thia season, on the cars. I wat very much impreaaed wi our fine crops all along the road, ai how thankful we should feel. Abo 2 o'clock (aome time before we got Chester, at whicn place the tra atopa for d.nner) my young comrai announced that he had lunch. I course bachelors like myself nev carry auch. The porter fastened i a table or us, and my friend open? the lunch and remarked that he cou eat aa much fried chicken as az body in Edgefield. This waa a tr mendouB assertion from a lad of se en teen ! Having seen a-quantity of eaten, I thought hie remark rath* stupendous, but will not say how was impreBaed after we had finiahei The quantity of fried chicken ri minded me of the many delightfi picnics we have had thia summe Notwithstanding the many lunch* we had, aome of the fried chicken wf brought far North, where it does nc exist. My young friend hated vet much to leave Edgefield. And it i aiking a good deal of one who ha lived in Edgefield, to leave it for a ev eral months and especially togo wher there ia no fried chicken ! I ate break fast in EJgefisld and took dinner i: New York the next day, which ia raak ing very good time. The day after I ar rived, the first thing to be done wa to attend to all special orders. Anc among other thirgs, I gave order for two engagement riugs. I am no supposed to know who the younj ladies are that are to receive the rings but will say that the boya a.e verj well known ic and around Edgefield Now guess till the weddings oma ot who they are ! * There ia a large trade on here Iron: South Carolina, and they are in good apirita and buying heavy etook?. 8c you aee our good crops are already beuefitting people quite a di ?tauet from home. I could not help but notice the large travel on the Elevated Rail Road thia afternoon. Trains every 5 minut?e, and four long coaches to each train-crowded all the time. Only charge L?C. for certain hours in the mornings and afternoons, to ben efit the working class. The balance ol the day 10c. Tbe poor working man and the mnch-to be pitied, hard worked shop girls can thus get to their buaineas easily ana cheap, even if they live aeveral miles away. It is strange that New York did not have an Elevated Railroad many years before she did. Yesterday afternoon found me up town with nothing special to do, and in the vicinity of 20Tb~8t., ah?fuue, to a stroll through the leading retail Dry Goods establishments, and acroaa over to Union Square through Tiffi ny a, and among the largeat retail Di y Goods houses down Broadway to A. T. Stewarts immense establishment. And in a walk clear across the first floor of the latter I caw not. a single cnatomer. Salesmeu were leaning about on the counters and sitting idiy on the ato?la. I guesa such a state of affaira makes the great Merchant almost turn over in his grave. How ever, I forget that his bones have been stolen. So after all it ia the mu/Mhat makes*auccesa. Mr. P. t. Wright, of Johnston, Mr. Henry Wright, of Clintonward, and Mr. Joe Watson, of Ridge are here buying gooda. They have been up to Saratoga. The Railroad men are going to raiee freights very soon; and I em trying to get my freights off before they do. I went to Wallack a Theatre last night. "Patience" ?B being played there. I enjoyed it very much. The scenery was extremely fine. It ?8 the most comfortable and decidedly the grandeat and moat beautiful Theatre in the City. It is really a Irest to see the drop curtain alone. I will endorse all . that my gifted friend "Oriole" has recently said about Coney Island Stocks are veiy full, and goods are pretty, and cheap eno'gh. lt will be impossible for me to nay anything about etylee and fashion? this time a8 I have already taken up too m ch room for a POOR, WRETOIIFD, MISER ABLE OED BACHELOR. Ticket No. 56,0*1. We hid occasion to interview Mr. J. A. Burke, the Station agent at Robeline. Mr. Burks was the 1 cky holder of one fifth of ticket No. 50, 021, which drew the capital priza of $75,000 in the Louisiana Siate Lot tery Drawing of August S. He eta ted that he had forwarded the ticket to New Orleans, by theSouthern Es preas Co., and exhibited a letter show ing that th9 Bum of $15,000 was paid in cash, by the Lottery Company, without scaling or any deducti n. Mr. Burks eeemed delighted with hi? good fortune and was lull of pleiaant humor. Mr. Burke ia rather below the me dium aiz?; wears a light brown mus tache and goatee, and has dark brown bair; he ia genial, pleasant and ?ocia ble in diapoaition. He ia a compara tively young man; haa a wife and two children, and ?8 a na'ive ol Sonora, Ky-i wiojM he owns some real estate. He has been in hie present aituation at the Depot of the N. 0. P. R. R and in thia Stata since last Docember. He takes bia good fortune quite non chalantly, and in a sensible manner. He aaya that he will retain hie pree ent position for some time to come. He ia evidently an intelligent gen tleman, of eound, practical judg ment. He speaks in high tarma of the promptnesa with which the Loui aiana State Lottery Company cashed his ticket, without any quibbles or tin lor any cause whatever. ??ne of the invariable in king that the Louisiana Company deal honearly Iicky holders-of tickets z?? in the wheel of for* .hilo hesr La , People Aug. 19. ^?LT7N BEAIIPOHT, )ple Organizing Against Radical Rings.
