If our town would build itself up, its citizens must invite capital and business by hearty welcome and frank hospitality. Red Bank Factory is at present 'taking all the cotton off our nier-! chants hands which is brought to market. ' Mr. Isaac Vansant at one time | Sheriff of the county was on a visit! to our town on Monday. He is 84 l Teats of age and iu feeble beultb. Oae of our citizens says tbat corn and other truck raised from "jewanered" land is what Caiyes diphtheria *"*T and other epidemic peases. The last issue of the Beaufort; Crescent is so full of Gary that we aie left to wonder if the editor is not bald-headed and grey. A boy recently hanged himself because some oue found fault with him. He was certainly not born to be an j editor or Intendant of a small town, i I When you visit Columbia, be sure ' to call and see D. L. Seuu, at Messrs ! Lorick & Lowrauee's, or seud him ! your orders. We notice the following stuck upon a window of oue of our towu merchants: "To trust is to bust. To bust is hell; No trust, no bust. No bust, no hell." Wasted 50,0UU pounds of old iron, brass, rags, books aud papers, for which the highest market price will j be paid. Thomas Waking Mr. Jas. C Hope paid us a shorn F* iday. He )> j an energei^^uu successful farmer, at popular gentleman ana au earnest supporter of I lie Primary system We wish him well. We learn that the closing exercises | of Boynton Academy passed off on \ Saturday with credit to the scholars and teacher. An excelleut dinner i was spread and then followed a cake j walk by the young folk over which J "big Johu" officiated. ^ Messrs. Kyzer and liendfix pur-j chased the county rights of the Heacock fence for Abbeville, Laurens, j Newberry, Edgefield and Lexington j and we learn are meeting with much 1 encouragement iu the sale of town- j ship rights. Our streets were lively on Sunday ; with white and black, little and big i Easter egg peckers, and the remains; of the fierce contests, in the way of! broken shells, on the sidewalks are 1 almost an impediment to the pedes-! trian. The monotony of our sanctum was' relieved by tbe beaming countenance ana cheerful spirit of that universally noDular gentleman Col. William A. X IT U Dogan, the energetic traveling agent of the Columbia R-gUte.r. The Col. ]' is a whole team in himself and doubtless the prosperity of the RrgUler is due in uo small degree to his indefatigable work. The Register scarcely (-needs any praise or commendation from ns; it is truly a leading paper of ithe State. It is always foremost in -the discussion of every question of importance which relates to the immediate aud pressing demands of the hour anil its voice is always h?-aid abating them with a logic as convinc ing aud irresistible as its language is ornate and free from the imparities ^ of personality aud invective. It is ever true to the fundamental princiA pies underlying our Democratic Republican form of government never hesitating to smite heartily and at once corruption, debauchery and - demagognerv in either p-irtv It up holds virtue aud denounces vice I< is the friend of constitutional iiinmi nities aud privileges of the people and is ever stretching out for the furtherance of benevolent and charitable ob jects. It is a grand p iper and should have a generous support from the people throughout tho State. The weather seems to believe that "there's nothing like a change." W. P. Roof sells four boxes parlor matches for ten cents. A splendid croquet ground has been made at the High School j grounds. j Members will remember that the Count}' Executive Committee meets j next Monday. It is rumored that the Ruds will 'run a ticket in the Columbia city j election, which is creating cousider! able excitemeut. We will shortly published a list of the old bachelors of the place and Aim t\f f 1>o jinrl I JV/UVW M Itu VUb Vt vuv V*\* twioww ...... I widows. We have bad frost for the three last mornings and some ice. All | teuder garden truck aod considerable I fruit has been k:l!ed. j Preparations for the reception of I Grant are being made at New Orleans. The State and city officials, .military, aud civic bodies will participate. All our town merchants are now opening splendid lines of spring: dress goods, bats, trimmings, etc, which are being sold at prices that compete with any market. Give them a trial. Merchants and subscribers along this line of the road complain that the Register does not give daily cotton quotations of the Columbia market. A special despatch from Columbia to the News and Courier says, it is the; purpose of the Republicans to nominate a full State ticket from Governor down and make a straight out fight We hear that one of thee ndidatesj who will come out before our pri- i rnarv for nomination is down with the, measles, which he caught from kiss- j ing the girl baby of ft voter. Mi. Jesse Seavdied at the residence ; of Mr John Gregory on Saturday, j He bad been iu feeble health for] some time, and was over 91 years of i age. The House Ways and Means Com-! mi'tee have, by a vote of eight to three, decided to place ou the free j list "all manufactured paper, wood pulp, jute butts, uumanufactured flax, ! straw and all other tibre and fibrous plants fit for u*e in the manufacture of paper." | Communication sfWjed "'S^bscribL-r" but unaccompanied with writer'* name is thrown in trash basket. It is too personal for publication even if ibe writer had given ins name. Mr Willie li. Meeize continues the tanning business formerly run by Mr Thus. Wilson, and our people should give him their j atronage as he is an experienced tanner and a clever gentlemau. His charges are model ate for cu*h or on liberal shares. The indifference with which so many people regard a cough or cold is truly unpardonable. These alloc tions often lead to consumption, and should be ellecKed in t me by use ol Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. A man killed thirty sheep iu 7 days by slaughtering an odd number each day. He didu't do it with 1315 1-1, but ibeu bow did be do it? Here is uuolher: How can you subtract 45 from 45 nud leave 45?

It is us livelv us a cricket, and ilr. Stuart h .s hopes that it will live. Mr L \\ R .st showed us a bunch uf wheat last week with he hl.eteSpecked with aiihUte deposits, tie Saul that all the oats iti Sandy Run had been affected iti the Same wav hilt had recovered and he was in hopes that the wheat would do so. An intelligent Georgia farmer says in reference to this blight, that the specks are lice, deposited by a bug similar in a; pe ounce to the lady bug ?that the lice suck the substance from the blades and hence their blighted appearence. He says it is certainly not rust and he is still hopeful of a good crop Some of our farmers in this neighborhood claim that it is the rust ou both wheat and ' oats. ammmmaami aaamsaBmammmaBm Mr. L J Sliealey of Boiling Springs, ' has left, with us several stalks of wheat leel high with heads almost fully developed. Who can beat this? ! St. Stephen's Church was tastefully i iand beautifully decorated with ever-' - i J greens and flowers by the ladies for | E tster Sunday. Maj Meetze, Super| iutendent of the Suudav School de-| | livered an appropriate addres9 to the^ | scholars in the morning and Rev. J. | , H. Bailey preached a most excellent i sermon in the evening. The Superintendent of St. Stephen's 1 ! Sunday School and his assistants may J. i well congratulate themselves upon its ! prosperous condition, the result of: : their unceasing efforts We do not ; ; know of but one or two families within a circuit of one and a half miles who J I do not send their children, and we j , are sure that their little ones would ! i be pleased and become regular atteui dauts if ouce entered as scholars. ! ' Senator M. C. Butler thinks that a j campaign of five months will give tbe i | sore heads, or Independent element,! I ample time to work up an organized ! opposition to the regular ticket. The! people will become wearied and lose i I enthusiasm in so protracted a cam-! paign. Besides these disadvantages | , a long campaign will be most disas- 1 Irons to the agricultural interests of: < | the Srate. The Senator thinks that!, ' the campaign should not be longer i I than six weeks, or two months. Frequent inquiries have been put I to us of late if t his and that one would j not be a candidate in the Primary; election for nomination for this and j that office. Whilst we have received I intimations sufficiently strong to sat- j J isfy as that they would, we have not j felt privileged to answer thequeslions I aathontatively, and the cariosity of: the public will have to be restrained i for the time. In some instances we believe the inquirers had motives for ascertaining the intentions of the! looked for candidates which would i " | result to their good if the fact of their ;' running was certainly known. As! we can see no good reason why those j who intend to run should hold their j announcements hack any longer, we will state for information that announcements of teu lines will be inserted in the Di>patch until the pri-1 id wry elect ion for $3 each Annouuco- j J incurs of grei^M length < will Ire j charged fur at ^regular advertising j i rates. 1 l A Hurtful S widee ?A man professing to Sf-tI "Am 'Id's Nickel i'latim?," fni plati ig liiass, Copper, lirit-! tjini'i.
