The teople along the route—particulatly’ between Blackvilfe and Kingsville-are enthusiastically in favor of it, and no doubt by proper management large assistance could be-Rsd frbm them. This rout* Lukes I ft both Blackviile and Barnwell, either of whiolt towns are as healthy as Aiken or any other placet on the the broad earth. Mr. \Vhite ha* promised under certain ci|cuinstances to visit our town, and we' hope tbl# matter will then be brought to bis ut eution. With such wc reached our d -Htinaih<o known a# * mVrea’s gu°vk Where the target shooting and other amusements were to taka place, and where we wet* to pans the i|ay. The iitffinloa is peenUarly pretty, and re- minds one .of tlie Miry scenes that used to enchant us in the early day# of our literary rambling*.

Be yond the grove •the forest is made- more dense by a very thick under growth. In the forenoon the target Shooting began, the distance being one hundred yards and the prize for the best score being a white plume. Out of a possible 25, Sergts. Ciancey aa<> Bhstt and privates, D.ivanport and Fuller scored each twenty,and hud to “try again”—*un the second trial tigt. Ciancey scored the highest (21) and was declearnd tho victor. After tlie target practice all hand# -partook Ufa sumptuous reiia»r, consisting of everything the h< art of man could desire or the-inventive faculties of tne ladies supply. 'Heretofore the Barn well boys had been but passive obser vers of the events of tho day,but now they became active partic'prms. and demoubtrated tlie fact tiiat they were appreciative gentlemen. Immediately alter dinner the party repaired to a house Lard by which for the nonce to the tuspfrUing strains of the Beau fort Siring and Cornet Bind, our hoys) j .iued in thegidJy rnaz s of the dance.

This was to us the moat interesting event of the day— exo°pt of course our fair partners in the dance—and Whs highly creditable to the .company. Indeed, after the number had narrowed down to four or five it required at ogee an educated and vigilant eye to discriminate be tween the contestants. Finally, how ever 8gt. Ciancey stood alone in the ranks and was pronounced the best drilled man in the .company, which was universally, we ‘believe, admitted to be a “fair, impartial verdict.” The prize is a handsome silver medal, to the form of a Maltese cross, suspend ed from.
