Death of Jackson Cacar, Esq. Another of our oldest and be3t beloved citizens is gone. The steadily failing health of Mr. Jackson Covar, of late months, and his recentserioun illness had prepared his friends for the announce ment of hi? ?e&ta at almost any time; ?nd, consequently, while none the less pained, they were not surprised on Mon day, the 15th inst, to learn that very early on that morning be had yielded up hie spirit to tho God who gave it. .The deceased was In bis sixty-seventh year, had lived in Edgefield all the days of his life, and was Identified with her best interests and her best memories. He was the oldest child of the late John Cover, Esq.,'.who was a citizen of Edge fieldin its extremest early days. The subject of our notice was a good man and a good citizen.

It is a great satisfaction 'o know thal you 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 ol .our readers are disposed to be sceptical, let them write to some New York house and get the lowest figures on a par ti cu . lax piece of furniture, and then call on J. L. Bowles it Co., of Augusta, and price the same article. They will find that the furniture can be, bought as low from Bowles & Co. as from the New York house-and lower-leaving out the ques tion of freight charges altogether, which is no small matter. Now with this fact . staring ns in the face, is it not far better to patronize home enterprise ? We do ' sot see bow there can be but one answer to the question. And besides, Bowles <? Co. keep none but the best of everything in their line; and they always have the veiy latest novelties. Bowles & Co. nev er misrepresent anything, but tell you exactly what you are buying, so that they never tail to give satisfaction. We advise our readers to read their new card, in another column, call on them, and in spect their stock. This Way With Your Wool, Hides and Raga.

EDGETIELD ADVERTISER : Since a great deal h is leen, said re cently thiough the papers in regard to working of the public highway?, you will please allow me space suf Scient for a short letter. A correspondent of one of the newspapers last week, asked the ques don, whese fault is it that the roads are not worked? He answers the question by saying: the white peo ple who live along the roadf. Th';s is to. a great extent .true, but not en tirely so. The white people who live along the roads are to blame for not making an honest effort to work them. The County Commissioners are to blame lor not prosecuting the Supervisors. The Supet visors are to blaine for not forcing the overseers to call out bands and work 12 days in each year. The. overseers are to blame tor not making the bands as signed to them work the 12 days. And the people, tboee who live along the different roads, and those who sit on juries, are to blame for not sus taining the overseers in their efforts. The over8eeis, I believe, though, are mainly in fault.- They should work 12 days a year, and should have some rule or system of workirg. lu most places road working ia only a farce and a frolic. No work of any conse quence is done. Hands com? to the road at nine, ten and may be ll o'clock-laugh and talk three or Tour hours at noon, and go home an hour Or two'before'Vigut. For this the uverseers are alone responsible. Un der the law an overseer has just BB much authority as he 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 ungratetul 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 of hands try to avoid road service through'a doctor's certifi cate, and those who occupy the jury bench do not sustain the overseer ; but nevertheless it must be done, or our roads are gone to the devil. In deed they are not far from it now; I am an overseer myself, and I expect to work every one of the hands ae signed me 12 days. Then if I have not a good road, it will not be my fault. . I am determined to return every hand assigned to me who works at home, and will not work the road under my instructions every time they fail to work. I do not care il they have a baaketfull of certificates. 0. SAM TiioRrE AT HIS OLD TRADE - On last Saturday night Mr. Henry Melton, an elderly gentleman, who at tends to Mr. F. M. Warren's mill, heard an unusual commotion about his chicken-house. Seizing his gun he soon made his appearance on the .scene. Sam Thorpe was there-in side-interviewing the chickens. Un fortunately, however, he was too quick for Mr. Melton, and instead of getting a load of buckshot as he de served, he got in a blow with a stick, breaking one of Mr. Melton's arms aud thus he was enabled to make good hiseacape. .Thorpe has not been served out a sentence of six or twelve months for stealing chickens from Mts. Bacon. The walls are yearning for him again.-Monitor. The ?Aiken Journal and Review 8ay8<t?at the auditor's abstract of the rea^aUf! personal property of Aiken County does not make a very credita ble showing lor the county. While the returns for real property show an increase of $10.057 over last year's ieturn8, the returns for personal prop erty have fallen oft' to the extent of 180,330. The auditor saye that had the GranitevMe Mills and the Lang ley Mill made the same returns as last year, there would have been an increase in this year's taxes of over $206,000. As it is the Grantville Mills returned $170,070 less of per soual property and the Lungley Mill $26.430. The Keowee Courier 6ays : " We venture the assertion, without the fear of contradiction, that any farmer who will put the same amount, of ma nure per acre on ten acres of land, plough it in and sow and barrow in Oats, he will realize, with one-fourth the expense in cultivation and har vesting, more money from the ten acres than he could make in cotton. The same ie 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 t he lane1, but gradually enriches it. . We see that for fifteen years, with all our large crops of cotton, the fartneif continue io debt and live year by year from hand to month." The Greenwood correspondent o! the Abbeville Press and Banner says: " John Tolbert was in town laal week. He says his majority over Aiken will be three thousand, and that four white men here and eighl at Ninety-Six have promised to vote tor him. He says the only com puDCtioo of conscience he has in op posing Col. Aiken is that they botl belong to the same church." ??f Jersey bull and Jersey bull calvei for sale. [6] 0. F. CIIEATHAM.
