They came, they saw and they were captured. The Lexington county fair for this year has passed into history. Everybody was here, happy, prosperous, jolly and delightea. If any came with misgivings they went away fully satisfied with the showing of their county. The crowd was not quite so large as last year, owing to the inclement weather, but it made up in enthusiasm, good cheer and appearance what it lacked in size. The horse flesh shown in the arena this year was a credit to any county; and nothing so well indicates the prosperity of a people as the kind of horses they own. A fine horse be speaks a fine farm, and a fine farm indicates a prosperous and progressive man. Lexington can hold her own against any county in the State when it comes'to well bred, well groomed and well fed horses. The poultry exhibit was up to the usual standard and showed some fine specimens of the feathered tribe. The fancy work, the household department and the like were creditable. The truth is every department showed up well except the field department, which on account of unseasonable weather during the year, was not expected to be up to the average. And then there was the midway, noisy, bustling, with great crowds j moving in a ceaseless stream, the | speilers shouting, the fortune teller, the plantation show, the Japanese ; with their wares and little almond | eyes, the game- of semi-chance, all ' these were there to give the visitor K MONEY!

The amusement is innocent, the fun wholesome and the chance for social intercourse unequaled, and our people know how to take advantage of these features. They were here from every nook and corner of the county, were pleased with what they saw and went away with ju9t pride in their county. Many prominent Columbians were noticed mingling with their Lexington friends and entering .into the - /* xi ? rm j spirit 01 ine occasion. rne crowa was the most sober, most orderly and well behaved we have ever seen, and their was not a single unfortunate incident to mar the pleasure of the three days of fun and profit, for these fairs are profitable to all who attend. The management deserves the highest praise. All the events were pulled off with a promptness that was gratifying. Next year will see even a better fair, for the experience gained is an asset that goes into the making of success. The following officers were elected for next year: Dr. W. H. Timmerman, Batesburg, president; Messrs. W. W. Barre, Lexington; R. L. Keisler, Gilbert; A. M. Wmgard, Irmo; J. B. Towill, Batesburg, and L. I. Guion, New Brookland, vice presidents- Mr. Towill takes the place of the late Capt. J. H. Counts and L. I. Guion succeeds Mr. Shuler, resigned. Mr. W. P. Roof was reelected treasurer.

Quattlebaum, youngest son of the lace Gen. Paul Quattlebaum, while at work in Mobile, Ala., fell from the United States Barge office twenty feet to the wharf, sustaining injuries from which he died two hours later, on October 16. He is survived by his family, who live in Mobile, and a number of relatives in this county, among them his mother and sisters, who still live at the old Gen. Paul Quattlebaum homestead, near Leesville. Maj. Quattlebaum joined the Confederate arm}*, going out with Co. K., Capt. Wm. D. M. Harman, of this county, and was later made sergeantmajor of the old 20th regiment. He was as brave a man as ever wore a uniform, and was loved by all who knew him. He was a warm friend and messmate of this writer. In the battle of Cedar Run, October 13, 1863, near Strausburg, in the Shanandoah valley, he was severely wounded, a shell striking him while he was assisting Gen. Connor, of Charleston, who had been wounded by a shell and his horse killed falling upon him. In the same fight our townsman, Mr. James E. Hendrix,_received his taste of war; D. D. Kleckley was also wounded; Geo. W. Eargle lost an arm; Jacob Croat was wounded and afterwards died at Mount Jackson; J. Calvin Long was killed instantly by a minnia ball, all of Co. K. The death of Maj. Quattlebaum will be regretted by his surviving war comrades and a host of his friends and relatives in this the county of his birth. No family, has contributed more to the well being and history of this county than the Quattlebaum family, and their service to the county will always be held in grateful remembrance.

Tribute of Respect. Whereas, we the members of Emanuels Church Missionary Society, being aware of the sad death of one of our beloved and most faithful members, Mrs. Ellen Sox, whose love for her society became so strong and zealous as to demand the attention of its members, and whose absence now among us is greatly lamented; therefore, be it resolved; 1. That, even though we greatly mourn her departure from among us; yet, we are confident that our loss of her as a member is her eternal gain. 2. That, we as a society humbly bow in submission at the feet of Him who holds the brittle thread of our lives in his hands and doeth all things well. 3. That, we extend our deepest sympathy to the family she has left to mourn her departure, and pray that God's blessings may ever overshadow them. 4. That a copy of these resolutions be inscribed in our record book, also copies be sent to the Lexington Dispatch and the Lutheran Chui'ch Visitor for publication. Respectfully submitted. annis Roof, Julian Sox, James Roof. Committee.
