The beautiful Indian summer, has at last been broken by the frost, and though vegetation has been killed, the weather is still delightful. Crops are being rapidly gathered, and corn is satisfactory, but cotton is short, though the price being better than for some seasone past, will help somewhat to make up for the shortage. There i9 evidence of a large grain crop being sown, and that augurs well for the future business among the merchants is fine, and to t.nkfi a olftncfi in snmfl .if nnr hia stores remind one of the mammoth shops in the large cities, both in wares and customers. Events of "out of the ordinary" rareyl occur in our town, consequently the newspaper correspondent, is at a loss for something to send off, the unexpected hardly ever occurs here and though it is a hustling town in every sense of the word, still the even tenor of business is rarely departed from and the chronicler is in danger of falling into disfavor, with the pressman, for what is not his fault. A departure from the usual routine, has however occurred even in Batesburg, the "Advocate" newspaper has, we are reliably informed, changed hands, and Messrs "Towell, Whitten, and Kaeeco" the propiietors since it has been in Bat9sburg, have sold the paper, to "N. Rogers Baylie," aud Mr. Baylie now has charge cf the enterprise and ali wish him success. This weeks issue has not} et appeared, consequently, we do not know whether or not Col. To^eii still remains as editor but this much can be said whether or Dot he still serves the paper, his warm sympathies remain with the child of his youth, and we trust a continued success will attend the old Advocate. Large numbers of our people are visiting the fair in Columbia this week. I will not be able to go this time as I have for some time past been vegetating in the green fields and pastures anew of the prosperous eastern section of the State, and by so doing have about exhausted the necessary funds and so I now remain at home, and as far as this ecribe now kDoweth his burial place will be marked by the sands of old Lexington county in which the imprint of his hist footsteps was made, and the love for which then engendered, has never since ceased to burn in his breast, and time poverty, or temporary absence, has never removed or lessened it.
