There is nothing new* only that pur Sunday-school Superintendent, Mr. T. Taylor, was married last Sunday to Miss Mary Wise, of Millbrook, and we wish them much joy and happiness In their new life. Crops are in such bad condition that no one has ti ne to go around to get any news. Nearl3 r everbody has eateu(just a lit tle) watermelon, but we are not able to say \Vho had the first one.. Not quite two weeks ago, Mr. Whit field Moseley lost his little daughter, Lula, from relapse of measles and last night his baby died. The sympathies of the community are with this dis tressed family in this their hour of trouble. We think that Mr, John Rish can boast of the Ijnest spring oats in this country, it will average near four feet high. Mr. Rish is a successful farmer. We have a novelty here in the way of a double sun flower; it is the first ever seen in this part of the country and it is therefore a curiosity. If we did not have the first water melon we think we have badtbetirst and finest figs. I send you a history of the Red Branch Union Sunday-school written by our Secretary, Mr. J.

We agree with Capt. Tillman con cerning an Agricultural College; the farmer needs a higher education, he should be able to analyze his soil, so he can tell what elements are want ing for plant food. Farming In the right sense is one of the most compli cated studies of the day. He should be able to watch the effects of the heat, rain and cold on crops; to do this, be would have to take a thor ough course of study at some Agricul tural College. Some say “it takes too much money” to build and found an Agricultural College. Of course, it would take money for any incorpora tion that there is any benefit to be gained from. Some may say our County is in debt, but other counties are not. Mr. Thomas Taylor was married on 2fth ult. to Miss Mary Wise, daughter of A. J. Wise, by Rev. W. H. Mose ley. All of Aiken County. T. Vaucluse Items. From Our Regular Correspondent. Vaucluse,S. C M 1 July 4,1886.) Vaucluse Democratic Club was re organized here Tuesday night, by electing Mr. B. F. Turner President, Robt. Butler, vice-Presidcnt; T. H. Burns, 2nd Vice-President; and John F. Bandy, Secretary; and D. Rich ardson Member of Executive Commit tee. The following gentlemen w*ere elected delegates to the County Con vention: Mark Maddox, G. W. Hatcher, Dr. Z. A. Smith W. E. Couch and 3d. T. Dean, and if the rain had not poured in torrents all the morning the entire delegation would have gone to Aiken on the first, and if the convention did not meet, (and we don’t suppose that it did) we will be on hand next time. We knew Mr. Ed itor, that it is rather late to send this report In, but we want it published so that the people at large wil^tnow that we are not dead at Vaucluse. • Uh Juue 29th, between one and two o’clock p. m., the lightning killed two -little boys of Rev. J. B. Brigmau, they w*ere sitting in the door of Mr. James Steel in company with several other children, when the lightuing struck the house, which did but little damage to the house,but the boys were killed instantly. The coroner came up at once and summoned a jury and held an inquest raid ren dered a verdict in accordance with the above facts. Mr. and Mrs. filed and Mrs. Brigmau were all pres ent when the boys were killed, the eldest hoy was eleven or twelve yer rs of .■ ge. They both were intern d in Grauiteville cemetery in one grave. «v. v. W. B. Herron preached a most excellent sermon at their funeral. There is some sickness in Vaucluse at present.

After a few days of sunshine last week, we had again on buuday a heavy rain, followed by showery weather, which is certainly operating against the farmers notions of the- promotion of his interests. And there is no doubt but it will materially dam age the watermelon crop. In fact with the present outlook it cannot be expected that a half crop will be real ized. It is now the last of June, and no fruit on the vines that can be re lied on for marketing, and as fast as the young melons appear they are beaten oft' or dwarfed by the rains. Cotton is small aud in many places grassy. Corn is doing well with the showery weather. These things we cannot understand, but the great ruler of the universe makes no mis takes, and we his creatures, depen dent upon him for our life should be content with his ways, and we sub mit cheerfully to his providence*, trusting His wisdom and goodness for our temporal and eternal interests. “It may not be my way, it may not thyWay, But in some way or other the Lord will provide.” Therefore, we should not complain, or murmur, but with strong faith look up and say, “He doeth ail things well.” • Mr. W. B. Owens and Mr. W, W. Armstrong, with their families, were on a visit to relatives, in the neigh borhood of Beldoc last week. They report crops fine and io fair condition in that section. About Barnwell Courthouse poor and In had condition. They had quite an enjoyable trip,plen ty of catfish and other good eatables, which was somewhat more palatable than the drive home through the rain on Sunday evening.

The Red Branch Sabbath School was organized on the leui of January 1S-3, in the old Red Branch school house, about 3> a or 4 miles cast of Aiken, and from which it derives its name. The school was organiz.*d with Mr. Thomas Taylor as Hup"’-!"! u 1 • r*t. Mr. R. L. Courtney was elected secre tary and Treasurer. He served for awhile, after which James C. Wood ward was elected secretary, and is serving still. This school Is a union school, because it is composed of dif ferent denominations; but mostly of the Baptist denomination. The start er of this school was Mr. James, O. Clay, of Aiken, but formerly of the North. For a long time this earnest and faithful old soldier of the Cross taking the long journey of 3>« or 4 miles on foot through heat ana cold, met us punctially nearly every Sab bath. After awnile, as “All things worketh together for the best for those that love God,” a better way than walking it was provided for him. Mr. Robert Powell, of Aiken, brought him out one Sabbath, and was so much interested in the school that he join ed us, aud has from then to the pres ent time been an earnest and devoted worker with us. In regard to necessa ries for carrying on a Sabbath-School, we were but poorly supplied at first but by the' faithful work and untiring ef forts of these two gentlemen, (Messrs Clay and PowelJ) we have been able to obtain at all times sufficient means to press onward with the noble work. Instead of standing idle in the shack- lingoid house in which the school was organized and which furnished us shelter for nearly five years, on the 6th of December last we retired from from the old building to our new' comforta ble and commodious school-house on the same gronnd. Nearly five and a half longyears have rolled away since the organization of our school. Dur ing this time it has greatly prospered This period has witnessed a great in crease in our number. It has seen the small number of ten or twelve we organized with, grow to the large number of eighty to ninety punctual scholars. Our school has from time to time been visited by the most distinguish ed workers in the Christam army, among them may be named.* The Rev. S. Leard, of Grauiteville; Rev. 8. P. T.
