This estimable and honored citizen, the only son of the late Dr. Thomas Lake, died athis home near Fellowship Church, of which he was a deacon, one day last week. He was buried at Fellowship. His sister, Mrs Cely, of Greenville, had died only a few days previously. Two Aged Sisters Die In the Selfsame Hour. Miss Lucy Whatley and Miss Asia Whatley, two maiden ladies, sisters, died, at their home, one mile from Republican Church, on Friday last. One was aged about ninety-two years, the other about ninety. They wero both sick, but one noi. very much so. The latter asked the Rev. J. P. Mealing, who was with them how her sister was. He replied : " She is quiet now." Raisins: herself up in the bed, the living sister looked across the room, and seeing a sheet drawn over the lace of the dead one, immediately yielded np her spirit to God. This is very touching. These two aged sisters were pious members of the Bap .?st Church. Petit Jurara for October Term, 1?84. FIRST WEEK.

One hundred and twenty-five acres near Montmorenci in Aiken County with orchards of peach and apple, and vineyards of " White Niagaras." Wita dwelling, and barns, and every modern improvement But read for yourself tho card of Mr C. E. Satterthwait in another column. "On the Narrow Gauge Track." It always seems to u? profoundly use less to exalt the horn of Wm. Mulhorin in Edgefieid. Because, forsooth, that horn can rise no higher. As a boy, Wm. Mulberin began his career in Augustin 1854, and with the exception of the peri od from 18G1 to 18C5, spent in the South ern army, he has been identified with the Shoe business of Augusta, and been shoeing two-thirds of the people of Edgefield County. His two partners, Messrs. A. J. Gouley and P. H. Rice are men also well known to these, " two thirds," and honored by them. They have two stores, up town and midway the city. Both stores handle all glades of boots, shoes and slippers, also ?ente,' boys' and children's hats. And now. as announced in another column of this week's ADVERTISER, Mulherin ?fc Co. are " on the narrow gauge track." Read them. Stud them well-and rejoice ! An Honored Landmark iu Graniteville. For many years "James E. Cork's" was the most honored landmark of Gran iteville. And now, as "James L. Quinby <fc Co's.," it is equally prominent, equal ly enterprising, equally reliable. Indeed Quinby <fe Co. carry on a business scarce ly second to any even in Augusta. Their patrons believe in them heartily, and they have every right to do so. They invariably meet with courtesy and atten tion at Quinby's, and have long since come to know that tho goods they buy there are always just as represented. There In much satisfaction in doaling with such an establishment as Quinby's, and it is not strange that their bini ness increases steadily from year to yea: For the new card from Quinby & Co., in an other column, we beg special attention.

Signally, brilliantly successful have been the Dime Readings inaugurated by the Baptist ladies early last spring. Interest in them has never waned ; and truly they have been powerful literary and musical motors in our community. The last one-at the residence of Mr. Alvin Hart-on Friday evening of last week, was emphatically the culminating point in the series-the mo6t numerously attended, the brightest, the most fashionable, tue most artistic, the most panning-out. Was this becauEe it was in the bower of the gallantest, most generous; most popular young bachelor :n Edgefield, or because it was presided over by a fair lady whose beauty and grace lend a halo to everything upon which she lays her dainty hand or turne her beam ing countenance''' IiOi i Complaints.

On Saturday afte-noon last, as night was diing fast, we walked for a few minnie? i our village cemetery, and, wandering omewbat aimlessly, came upon the grave f the heroic and devoted Elbert Bland, jientenant-Colonel of thc 7th Regiment, t was adorned with quantities of the arest und loveliest Bower? fTmrMoci PVfr jave to earth-a tribute of memory ar.d >f tears. And in a moment we remem bered that the day was the anniversary of bis death. Twenty-one years ago be fell it Chickamauga. Twenty-oue years seeming in one view a ceutury, in another but a day. And the holy fires of immor tal uiemorieB were kindled on the altar of Dur heart, for the glories, the sufferings, the God-like martyrdom of this lofty hero sf the " Lost Cause " B~ttlr abouts no more, but snow-white peace and memories pure upon the grave of Uland ! Criminal Business ot the Coming Terni. In our jail at present there are but seven prisoners. One of these is serving out a term. The other six, two w. men and four men. all colored, are awaiting trial at the coming term. The charges against them range from murder to chicken-stealing. But notwithstanding thia small jail contingent, our criminal business in October will bo heavy, inas much as at the last term not a single case was tried in which the accused was out upon bond. For instance, the important case of the State against Washington, James and Perry Hamilton, will come to trial during the first week, as will also the important case of the State against Wm. Glenn. Besides these, there are numerous other accused parties out upon bond, in fact almost too numerous to men tion. The criminal business will therefore bo heavy. Judge Wallace, of Union, will preside.

But the brethren and sisters came nobly up to my assist ance, and we enjoyed a gracious refreshing; ten additions. On my return home, I was summoned to attend the funeral ser vices of two ?weet little children, whom the Saviour had summoned from their parent's clinging arm3 to his own, which I did under one Bervice ; and the families of Bros.
