No western packer could hav9 filled the order mor? satisfrtctorilv. Before the meat was delivered he let u=? peet? m hi? refrigerator, aud it was a sight weil worth seeing. General Butler's Opinion. Kuowiu? that General M. C. Butler has attended scores of very large gatherings during his long and useful .public career, and has heard very able speeches almost without numb-* r, the writer asked him the 'day after the Harmony picnic what, he thought of that occasion. Ke replied that he heard all of the addresses and was greatly delighted, pronounc ing them intellectual treat*. Gen. Butler says it is positively re freshing to hear addresses upon euch a high plane, without J. taint or tinge of demagoguery; ad dresses in which the reasons of men, rather than their passions and prejudices, ?re appealed to. He heartily endorses the idea of elevating the tone of tho citizen ship of our county, our 6tate and of the couutry. Gen. Butler sayR that, unlike the people of other countriep, every American citizen is a sovereigu, a ruler, and that when the toua of citizenship is Hnvat.fd bet'er men are elected TO serve the people, and better gov ernment is theieby obtained. Dur ing the conversation, Gen. Butler cited several instances in other states in which unworthy men had been chosen to lill positions of hoDor and trust, which, paid ho, indicated that the majority of the cit'zenship of those states was of a low order. ?jH'frpfrM'fl ttl r ir ri i-M? ia j The Planter's Leah - [ Jami Savings Bank :; Augusta, Ga.

Blocker supervisor of Edgefield county to fill the un expired term ol the late super visor Self. Capt. Blocker is the logical man for tho place, having been the second choice of the ppu p'e ID the pupprvisor's race two vura ago. Furthermore, the ex perience wbich he gained while n member of the county board causes him to be well fitted for the duties of the oTico. Capt. Blocker says be expects to pracj lice the most rigid economy dur ing the remainder of this year. He will recommend that four or five pf the county's mules be sold, thereby effecting a saving of from fifty to sixty dollars, per mouth. Various Estimates. There is scarcely a suhj-ct^ within the rang? of human knowl edge upon which men agree or thiuk alike, these differences of mind being almost as marked as their facial differences. In noth ing else are th?;se differences of opinion nore noticeable than in the various estimates of the num ber of individual^ in a given crowd. We bav? beard possibly innre than a dozan estimates of the surging, seething throng that was at Harmony on Friday, rang ing from 1.500 to 4,000, aud only a few estimates were the same. Capt. J. H. Bouknight placed the number al 3,000; J. W. Hardy at 2.000; A. H. Tompkins 2,500; S. T. Williame, 3,000; Gen. M. C. Boiler, 2,000; S. McG. Simkiua, 2.500 'and Capt. Gus White,. 3,000. So, after all, it is guess work, aiicf the actual Dumber of the great throng will never bo known. Dsaih of Mr. A. H. S. Day. On Fridav morning the mortal body of Mr." A. H. S. Day woe laid to refit in Ebenezer cemetery:. After an illness of only two du}'?, on. Wednesday eight this good roon enterbet upon ibo eleep that knows jin wtkiL?g. As Mr.. Day wns never a Biroo.?, robust Vnan, the sedentary life which he bad been leading dur ing the past several years made him an easjpr victim of disease. He was suddenly taken with an p.ttack of acute indigestion, fall- [ in; unconscious in his yard. , Though depperately ill at first, he < spemed io rally -and his fripnds ! and loved ones belipved that he ? would recover, but he Again grew . tvorse Finally his spirit took ito i flight to that Heavenly home pre pared fer thoso who die in the , Lord. Edgefield county did not have within its borders a batter citizen than Alex Dav. He was descend- 1 ed from one of our oldest, most honored families, whose name < stands fur all that is tru?, honor- ? ab'pj refining, elevating. Mr. Day served the Bank of Trenton as cashier since it was founded more '. lhan two years ago, and managed ' th-.; affair? of the institution with : in pr ked ability. \ Mr. Day was marrie.1 twice. First : to Miss Weinona Gray, and lastly to Misa Lottie Brown, of Ander son. Besides his wife, Mr. Dav is i survived by his mother, Mrs. \ Elizabeth Day, three brothers, j Mr. P. B. Day, Mr. B. J.
