Prescott and Mr. Towles Culbreath had gone to Batesburg on a carp expedition. On their return they created a sensation on our public square. Our male popula tion, white and tdack, turned out enmasse to see a specimen of the treasures of Capt. Jack Bates's pond-or hatchery. And there they were. Ten shining, glistening carp-ranging in size from a quarter ol a pound to a pound. And they were beau tiful. Twenty-five dollars had been given for the ten. And immediately the three or four dead men of our community who had not already begun to dig, went off, hired large squads of blacks, and are now excavating huge basins in the bosom of mother earth. The two model ponds are Mr. D R. Durisoe's and Dr. J. W. Hill's. Dr. W. D. Jennings is still highly success ful in thc dry culture. Aid the Colored Methodists. Up to this time, the colored Methodists have not been able to supply their church with window sash and giass. And to this end they will give a Hot Supper at their parsonage-next ?loor below Mr. Alvin Hart's residence-on Friday night next. In this worthy undertaking they beg the aid and patronage not only of their own race but also of their white fellow citizens. They will spread a handsome and well prepared supper; and we know them to be deserving of all sympathy and encourage ment. Lend them a helping hand, there fore on Friday night next. Mr. Jasper Clark. Our friend above named has been among us lately, selling, repairing and tuning pianos. In the line ol repairing and tun ing, Mr. Clark is unsurpassable. And in this matter our readers will remember that we have losg and large experience. Mr. Clark leaves us for a tour through.South west Georgia and parts of Florida. And wherever he may travel, we bespeak for him the reception due an Edgefield man of excellent birth and very high charac acier. The instruments too which - Mr. Clark offers for Bale are of the very best make and style. A Very Solemn Warning 2 Twenty-five carp tails all in a row! That is they were once in a row ; but now they are gone-hidden in the stomach o? the remorseless terrapin. And, unlike Jonah, never to come forth again. Some time last summer the carp madness seized upon our old friend Lawrence Johnson you all know him well-and procuring twenty-five small fish of this fashionable foreign breed, at considerable expense, he placed them in a small natural pond, which he previously cleaned cut very carefully, removing all vulgar families and noxious occupants. But, alas! cunning and cruel terrapins hid themselves secure ly and escaped the Day of Judgment. As cold weather came on, the young carp, as is the habit with our Germ?n pets, stuck their heads and half their bodies into the gentle mud, and went into winter quar ters.. But their luckless tails stuck out in bold relief. And now came the terrapins, seeking whom they might devour. And forthwith they nibbled oif the carps down to their vital parts. And when the peach blooms blew, the carps emerg 1 with half their lovely bodies gone. Ai ? although they are still frisky, Lawrence thin?f ? there is not enough of their proportions' ? left to encourage the hope of propagation, j Therefore, in constructing or cleansing out s pond tor carp, have a strict eye to the remorseless terrapin ! Capt. Belauger's Pews. Accomplished is our esteemed neighbor and fellow citizen, Capt. F. A. Belanger, as a builder of houses ; but still more ac complished is he in the cabinet line-in work which requires dainty handling and ! niceness of taste. This last bas been ! brilliantly exemplified in the Methodist pews just finisned by Capt. Belauger. They are at once strong, light, graceful, symmetrical. When you wish elegant cabinet and finishing work done, call upon Cant. Belanger. And if any of our coun try churches, are contemplating new pews, pulpit, chancel, or any such ornamental alterations, we can safely recommend Capt. Belanger to their consideration. Our Railroad. Chief Engineer Kirk and Sccret:?ry Campbell, of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago Railway, are in our town at present, looking after local matters con nected with the great Road. And we are glad to say that they are not oniy san guine, but wide awake President Ha good, we hear will also visit Edgefield in a few days, in the interest of the Carolinn, Cumberland Gap and Chicago. As re gards tho route of the Road in and near our town, Engineer Kirk has definitely decided that it shall run around the Eait and North sides. The prospect is still very good that the Road will be finished, and cars running, between Aiken and Edgefield before the close of the present year. 1 Bale of Bannock Mills" Plaids, just opened at J. 2.?.

Ou April G, 1881,aresolution was adopted by the board directing him to collect the penalties due for escapes bv the lessees of convict labor. In ' ay, 1881 he was authorized to employ counsel and bring suit on the bonds of all lessees ol' convict labor who are re sponsible for escaped convicts. Gol.

I have been appointed A cent for the sale of these machines in Edgefield. 1 used two of the Heavy or No. 1 Single Reapers (5 ft cut) on my farra near " %" last year. Two mules pulled them with ease and they cost nothing for repairs. Two of my neighbors, Messrs. John A. Wise and J. C. Lanham, ue?d the Light Center Cut Reaper (5 ft. cut) on the rough hilly lands of Horn's Creek and will en dorse them as giving satisfaction and be ing of easy draft. Col. 0. P. Cheatham also ueed one on his Log Creek place. Mr. J. L. Shaw used a machine like mine at Cherokee Ponds and was charmed with it. I bought all these machines and before doing so, made diligent enquiry as to the merits of many other kinds, and became convinced the Champion, if not the best, was as good as any; and a trial proved them to be strong, simple and of much lighter draft than ethers 1 saw used. All of us set them up and ran them without the aid of an expert or machinist. 1 do not expect to make a living by selling Reapers and Mowers and can afford to divide the profits usually made by Agents with my brother farmers, and acomparison of prices will prove this. Every Machine sold will be warranted to do good work and tte as represented or the monev refunded. I would advise any one wishing a Reaper or Mower to order early, whether from me or not, so as to get it home and "learn the hang of it" before it is needed. 0* TS can be taken now and payment made on delivery. I cannot fill any order after first of May without extra charge. Prices, (Vc, upon application. B. E. TILLMAN, P. 0.. Hamburg. S. C. P.

In the Southern Christian Advocate we find the following pleasant letter from thc Rev. W. S. Wightman : EDGEFIELD, Feb." 13: The melan choly communication pigned- "Philo Mater," and published in your paper a few weeks ago, has, I have heard, been attributed to me. It seems that^the Edgefield circuit, outside of the county, has the reputation of being one of the hardest and most unpleasant fields of labor in the South Carolina Confer ence ; but I have found since my arrival here, just the reverse to be true. And for fear that my circuit will be fathered with an odium that does by no means belong to it, you will please let me say, that since we have been here my family and I have met with marked kindness not only from the members of "bur own com munion, but from the brethren and sisters of other churches also. I had hardly been within the bounds of: circuit twenty-four hours before of my stewards, M*jor Abram Jon| hauued me his quarterage, fifty lars in gold. My family were ent tained at his house, the night of th) arrival, in a princely manner. Si/ we have been in the village we hi received presents of wood, provisiol money, ?c., ?tc, and I have bf welcomed to the houses of our peo] as a brother beloved, and minist? God. While I am speaking of th\ things, just let me ?&y that the lac of our church in Edgell .lld have the old pews and had the house worship modernized ; new pews, ue\ pulpit, nev/ painting, &c, &c. We expect to have, in the course of ten days, one of the neatest iittle churches this side of Augusta. We expect the Columbia District Conference to be held here in May or June next, and if you honor us with your presence, you shall prove for yourself that " Philo Mater" was not sent to the Edgefield circuit this year. I am very sorry lor Bro. P. M., and hope his prospects are brightening, but let it henceforth be understood all around that I am not thc man. P.
