Truly has the band of Affliction been lsid heavily upon the family of Col- A. P. Butler. On the 28th of last January oao of his tons met his death hy a terri ble accident in a saw mill. Yesterday his son William T. Butler died, in the 27th vear ofhis aga, after thro?'. weeks' illness, and his second and third daugh ters are very ill with typhoid fever.

Ill HM ll !? ? Andeisou & Fuller, the Colton Factors. Did our readers notice last week the announcement of the new Augusta firm of Anderson <fc Fuller, successors to J. M.Anderson? For this announcement wo beg very particular attention, tho more so that Mr. Anderson is a native son of Edgefield, one who lived among us from infancy to early manhood, and whose career in life entitles bim to Edge field's unbounded confidence and love. Indeed we are very glad ttiat Edgefield ?men have in Augusta so strong and so noble an anchor as James M. Anderson. !Mr. F. L. Fuller, the junior member of :this firm is a young gentleman of Geor gia, and one whom our people will find no less efficient, reliable and genial than their own compatriot Anderson. An derson it Fuller should at once, and f -r all time, ride upou the crest of the wave .ot Edgefield's confidence and patronage. Oat Flakes and Wheat Flakes.

I have boen troubled with indigestion and nervous headache for fif teen years-arrifered a great deal with pe riodical attache during that time. Hav ing exhausted my own skill and that of quite a number of the best physicians in the State, I was induced to try your Dys {>eplic Elixir. Began taking it in March ast, and have'nt had an attack since. My indigestion almost, if not en ti rely, cured. I can eat any and everything without material injury. I have practiced medi cine for 30 years and have ever been op posed to proprietary medicines. You kindly furnished me with the formula for the Elixir. Knowing its medicinal properties, I would "recommend all suf fering with indigestion, nervous head ache, and any disease arising from a tor oid liver, to try your Dyspeptic Elixir, for it is almost a specific in this class of .diseases. I recommend it to my patrons :and prescrine it in my practice. What I lhavo written you is a conscientious state ment of facts. Yours truly, L. P. DOZIEK, M. D. JFor sale by W. E.

G." seems to look on tl bright side, and enters "A Plea fi Candidate?." His plea would be gooi very good, if all our candidates wei like J. C. Calhoun, to whom he refer The' their influence in stimulate the youth of our country to nsefu ness would be valuable indeed. H was temperate, and his example gone I was told by an intimate friend i his that he rarely took more than o? small glass of wine even at a noch party. We do not expect our cand dates to be equal to Mr. Calhoui mentally, but they should have a fai share of intelligence, be honest, sobe and moral. Unfortunately for oe ; country, men possessing these qualif cations are loth to enter the field knowing that they have to conten i against whiskey and wire pullin 1 demagogues. Did that great state* 1 man ever take youog men from an ' place, much lees the house of Got 1 into the bushes and give them stron drink, or furnish the means by whic I others could do so, for him to gai : votes? Can all of our candidate j truthfully say : Neither did I ? Hav . not many of our honorable (?) me " done these things, and rare? Hav ' they not imbibed freely while on th stand haranguing the "dear people, ! and perhaps the next day addresse g a Sunday School or religions body o i the evils of drunkenness. Alas o what an example for youth! Ye men who resort to these means are lrequentlv-may I not say generally ?>:-elected. Hence, when aspiring youths sen. auch men receiving the popular applause, and a majority cf votes loo, they are often led astray by these houorable (?) men. Now, a few words to our candi dates. If any of you have ever re sorted to these unholy means, let me beg you to think of your awful re sponsibility ; andi especially appeal to you, my brethren, who claim to be Christians. How can you, at the close of a day's carousal, ask God to forgive you, and the next day perse vere in the same wicked course ? If you can do so with a clear conBcience< your condition is pitiable indeed! May God have mercy on you, and all those who may fall under .your influ ence, is the prayer of AN OLD MAN.

EDITORS : As it is a rare thing for communications to appear j (pom the fair land of Choty, will you kindly open your hallowed old col umns to one who promises not to im pose often upon your generosity ? I merely wish to give you a few "mis cellaneous examples" from this great domain. u Craps" are somewhat backwarirCf the result of the changeable weather, but farmers have not despaired, inas much SB their truck has time and I room to " come out." And if said ! truck yields in proportion to the in j terest manifested, there wiU undoubt ? edly be a prodigious harvest. God grant that our chargers may be as full as the country is of candidate^ Mies Mollie Butler, a niece of Sen ator Butler, who resides just across j Big Stevens Creek, had her arm brok? en lately hy a fall on the floor ; the arm is badly shattered in the joint, and proves very painful. This is arf 8ad affair for one so young, so sweety and so pretty. Surely the outside world thinks | that Edgefield County, and especially the blessed part called Choty, ia in a very prosperous condition-judging by the number of boreal book agents,"" fruil tree vendors, and peddlers and tramps in general, that swarm he? aforesaid domain Hold up, now, Messrs. Tramps and Peddlers, and give the candidates a little showing! On last Saturday the monotony Of Choty was made variable and tolera ble by the return of Miss Nettie Gar rett from Augusta, where ehe ha? been attending school.
