Admission, 60 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. Refreshments, such as hot coffee, oysters, ike.

Commencing on lost Monday the schedule on thc Blue Ridge division of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad was changed so as to run only tri-weekiy trains from Ander son to Walhalla. The nights upon which thc trains goes to Walhalla are Tues days, Thursdays and Suturdays, and Mon day, Wednesdav and Friday mornings it returns. Tlie"hours of running remain unchanged except as stated above. This Is a very serious inconvenience to all points from Anderson to Walhalla, and es pecially so to points above Andereon, which will hereafter be restricted to only three trains a week, and only receive tri-weekly mails. It is an inconvenience to the town of Anderson, not only as it abridges their means of travel, but also throws their Northern and Western maila twenty-four hours behind, for Uieso mails will hereafter be brought via Belton and reach here so late at night as to be generally not received un til the following morning. The reason assigned by the company for this chango is that the road abovo Anderson is not paying expenses. Wo suppose the daily trains will be put upon the road agata next snmmer, when the travel to the moun tains begins. Until then we will have to stand tho inconvenience occasioned by the new schedule.

EDITOR: AS "Rusticus" has not been furnishing you dots from this section lately, I send you a few lines. Martin township embraces the section of Anderson County formerly known as "Mohawk Beat," und lt waa one of thu points of general muster in tl 'a County before thc war. Although this "itcat" was named "Mohawk," it would have been rather unpleasant for a stranger to have attended one of thenj general musters and have called out "Mob? * ks." He would have received thc attentions of tho whole company.When the County was divided into township this "Beat" was named Mar tin township, in honor of Col. John Martin, who is one of its oldest and most honored citizens. He has been Sherill" of Anderson County, and filled other public offices. He is now in his 84th year, and is still strong and vigorous. He walks out a milo or two every day.

It has attached to it a large grave yard, which is kept in the neatest order. In it are tho graves of many persons who have been prominent in this section, and among them that cf Robert Breckenridge, who was a famous teacher in this part of tho County. His grave has no tomb, and we think the many scholars taught by him should unite to erect a monument over bia grave.Pro fessor C. L. Beed has a nourishing school in our i idst. He has been teaching in thia settlement for eleven years, and is very much liked by hit patrons. ALPHA. AV? rm ?luna.

It is a southern enterprise, which promise much success to its proprietors. Among the many publication houses in America, that of Messrs. John E.

TUE COUNTY FAIR. Tl^ County Agricultural Fair will be opened next week at Anderson, and in order to make it a reasonable suocefa, every farmer and granger In the County ought to feel interest enough in it to bo present as exhibitor or interested specta tor. They should bring along thoir sam ples of produce or handi-work without any regard to carrying ofT the premium. High-minded exhibitors have very little care whether a premium is awarded to them or not. They have a higher and more commendable object in view. They seek to improve the condition of the country by _ honorable comparison and fair competition in the results of the year's production, whether by agricul tural or other industrial acquisitions. Should they fail to carry ofT the distinc tion conferred by receiving a premium, they have contributed to the success of tho Fair, and to the edification of their fellow competitors. And if, per chance they go away under the impression that their own specimen was the more meri torious, notwithstanding tho premium was awarded to his neighbor, they have the manliness to console the disappoint ment by frankly admitting the correct ness of the award, or if not strictly cor rect, then have the generosity to admit that it may have been au error of judg ment on the part of the committee and not of intention, and go away with the determination of returning next year with a more pointed excellence ot the goods exhibited. Resides, it often occurs that two or more articles are so nearly equal in excellence as to make a difBcuft task for a committee to declare a differ ence and award a premium. Hence it often happens that a premium is taken by a very small superiority over its com petitor. In such cases no parties should take exception to the action of the com mittee, feel disappointment or bo dis couraged. So let us all go to the Fair, taking with us everything that can con tribute io its success, not leaving behind a heart filled with generosity and charity for the short comings of others. THE STATE EAIR To be held in Columbia, corn mend nj: on the 13th and closing on the 16th of No vember, is near at hand, and should com mand tue attention of Grangers, farmers, merchants and all other classes of indus try in the State. Tho talent of some of our best men are already being extensive ly exerted to make it a success. The pride and patriotism of our poople, and of our Grangers particularly, should prompt them to energy and activity io aid and assist tho accomplishment of a result so nearly connected with the gen eral interest, prosperity and welfare of all classes of citizens. It is expected that the railroads will make some favorable concessions in favor of vi'itors to' the Fair, and we should like to see every body go, and bo B?ro tu Curry ?i??g sOi??e j thing to exhibit. xne editor of the "Agricultural .De partment" of the Charleston New? and (burier makes the following sensible sug gestions in reference to a practical appli cation of benefits that may accrue to Grange men, which we i houfd be glad to see carried Into practice : "Wo suggest that the master of the State Grange request the three hundred Subordinate Granges each to send two delegates to the Fair, (their expenses and admittance to bc p~iw ss each Grange thinks proper,) for the purpose of ob taining useful information for the benefit of the Granges represented. If these delegates would meet, in Columbia Mon day night of Fair week and appoint com mittees among themselves, they could the next day examine thc articles on ex hibition, and on Tuesday night meet again and report the result of their ex amination, and discuss tho merits of the articles examined. This could be re peated every day and night till the clooo of the Fair; and he would be indeed a dull roan who w^utd not during thc time gather a vast deal of information worth carrying bock to his Grange. Many fine points in the several breeds of animals ; the advantages of certain improved im plements; household receipts, and gen eral information of every character could thus in a single week be gathered, and in as short a time distributed all over the State that would be incalculably valua ble to our farmers and people generally. We suggest, however, that the citizens of Columbia and the Master and Execu tive Committee of the State Grange should call for excursion trains at & pas senger rate of about a cent per mile each way, to be rou by all tho railroads into Columbia on Monday and Tuesday, and out again on Friday and Saturday df Fair week, Thousands ?ilt by thia means be induced to go, who will, at the old half-faro rates, stay at home. Co lumbia bad better hire the trains sud rup them at this low rate of travel than not have it done. They will be reimbursed. The people remember these summer ex cursion trains, and know the railroads wore well paid. Why will the railroads not help the Fair that much, if they will be paid for it, too? The railroads can make our Fair a success.
