The steadily failing health of Mr. Jack.cn Co var, of late months, and his recen t serious illness had prepared his friends for the announce meat of.his death at almost any time; and, consequently, while none the less pained, they were not surprised on Mon day, the 16th inst, to learn that very ?. ; : early cn that morning he bad yielded up > his-spirit to thc God who gave it. . ?V** ?s .The deceased was in bis sixty-seventh year, had lived in Edgefield all the days of bis life, and was identified with her .

It is a great satisfaction 'o know that voa can get furniture justas cheap in . Augusta as you can in New York, Bos ton or Philadelphia. This is no mere assertion, but a solid fact, and if any of | ' -our-readers are disposed to be sceptical, let them write to some New York house -?nd get the lowest figures on a particu ; - lar piece of furniture, and then call on ; J. L. Bowles <fc Co., of Augusta, and price the some article. They will find that the furniture can bej bought as low from Bowles & Co. as from the New York house-and lower-leaving out the quee nton of freight charges altogether, which j is no small matter. Now with this fact | - .?taring os in the face, la it not far better to patronize home enterprise? We do .. not see how there can be but one answer to the question. And besides, Bowles ?

To the Editorsof the Edgefield Advertiser: We have noticed an extract m your last issne, copied from the Charlotte Observer of the second inst., making charges against Trenton, a station on tbe Charlotte, Co lumbia and Augusta Railroad, as a bad locality, (without comment) which is cal culated to make a false impression on per sons who do not know the contrary to be true.

A ? correspondent bf one of the newspapers last week/asked the qpee don, wbcse fault is it that the roads are not worked? He answers the question by saying : the white peo ple, who live along "the. . roads.. Th' s is to. a.great extent true, but not en tirely so. The while people who live along the roads are to blame for not making an honest effort to work them. The County Commissioners are;t?'"blame l?r not prosecuting the Supervisors. The Supei visors are to blame for not forcing the overseers to call out hands and work 12 days in each year. The: overseers are to blame for not making the bands as signed to them work the 12 days. And the people, those who live along the different roads, and those who sit On .jurie?,' are to blame for not sus taining the overseers in their efforts. ?The oversee]a, I believe, though, are mainly in fault.- They should work 12 days a year, and should have some rule or system of working. In most places road working is only a farce and a frolic. No work of any conse quence is done. Hands come to the road at nine, ten and may be ll o'clock-laugh and talk three or four boors at noon, and go home an hour br 'twotiefbre '^igh't. ' For this the overseers are alone responsible. Un der the law an overseer has just as much authority as be wants. If the hands fail to appear and work, or if they refuse to work under instruction, the law makes it a misdemeanor and they may be punished for so doing. I know full well that a road overseer ship is an ungrateful office, but we certainly have honest and public spirited men enough in the country to accept the position, and discharge their duty. It is some trouble , of course to return hands, and very discouraging to try to work a road when a number ot hands try to avoid road service through-a doctor's certifi sate, and those who occupy the jury bench do not sustain the . overseer ; but nevertheless it-mast be done, or sur roads are gone to the devil.' In ie.?d they are not far from it now. I im an overseer myself, and I expect tb work every one of the hands as signed me 12 days. Then if I have not a good road, it will not be my fault.. I am determined to return 3very hand assigned to me who works it home, and will not work the road under my instructions every time ihey fail to work. I do not care if ihey have a basketfull of certificates. 0. SAM THORPE AT HIS OLD TEADE - Dn. last Saturday -night Mr. Henry Melton, an-elderly gentleman,who at onde to Mr. F. M.

Tae.^Aiken Journal and Review Gay?r^itt the auditor's abstract of the reaf?r? personal property of Aiken County does not make a very credita ble showing Jor the county. While the returns for real property show an increase of $10,057 over last year's leturns, the returns for personal prop ertv have fallen off to the extent of 180,330. The auditor saye that had the Granitevi-le Mills and the Lang ley Mill made the same returns as last year, there wonld have been an increase in this year's taxes of over $206,000. As it is the Grantville Mills returned $170,670 lees of per sonal property and the Langley Mill $26,430. The Keowee Courier s&ye : " We venture the assertion, without the fear of contradiction, that-any farmer who will put the same amount of ma nure per acre on t?n acres of land, plough it m and sow and harrow in Oats, he will realize, with one-fourth the expenfe in cultivation and har vesting, more money from the ten acres than he could make in cotton. The same ?B true of wheat. After these grains are harvested the same land can be planted or sowed in peas and these he can cut, adding to his profit. This kind .of .farming, too, not only prevents the washing of the land, but gradually enriches it. < We see that for fifteen years, with all our large crops of- cotton, the farmeie continue in debt and live year by year from hand to mouth."
