Birthday Party at Brest. Bt ant, June 8.—During the past several weeks there have been seveaal picnics, but this scirbc, be cause of circumstances over which he had no control was deprived of attending any of them. It was our pleasure, however to be present dnr- ing quite a swell affair at the home of G. L. Brant, at Brant, S. C. on tfyj 4th inst. The occasion was the ceieoration of the forty seventh anniversary of the birth of G. L. I'.rant.

OUH NEW SCHOOL BUILMNG. A number of new names have been added to the petition to bond the town for building a school house. A more general iuterest has been shown than was ex)>ected. Nearly all the , V business and professional men have * jy signed ana a large insjority of the resident white freeholders. 1C is without doubt the will of majority of the white freehcldersthat the election becalSed. We are now awaiting the signatures of the negro freeholders, and there is no reason for any objec tion on their part. We trust they will sign at once so the election will be ordered without delay.

There is a “pair’’ from Colleton that has “won every thing in sight” for a good many years, and that pair is Miss Alice Henderson and Hon. I) C Heyward.
