The reports of the proceedings a: Monticello and Salem both came too late for our last weekly. Baby shows are the fashion now, but as long as mothers continue to nurse their little ones with lauda num or other opiates, they cannot expect their babies to look bright. If your baby needs medicine got a good and harmless one such as Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup. 25 cents per bottle. * COMING TO THE FRONT.--At a colored Sunday-school celebration in this county, Israel Byrd during the course of his remarks said that he hoped the men would be as prompt in coming to the polls in November as the children were in attending Sunday-school.

The hydra-headed monster is again showing itself. SUNDAY SCHOOL MEETING.-Pursu ant to a call from Mr. A. S.

CEDAR CREE ITEMs-All quiet on the Creek. Everybody is about done laying by. The crops are tolerably good, notwithstanding the severe drouth. And now the grassy season is over, send us the candhi dates ; we are prepared to hear them all. We wvonder if any more will come out. We hope so--not near enough of them yet. We've a strong notion to run oureelf, if wve knew where to run to. At the last meeting of Cedar Creek Club the amendment to the constitution suggested by the Executive Committee was unani mously adopted. We were favored with speeches from Messrs. Wood ward, Gaillard, McKinstry and .Davis, who gave us some sound advice, and in our opinion did much * to remove some petty prejudice that existed with some of us. Al though a considerable portion of our olub were not present to hear the above named gentlemen, much good was done to unite some re fractory spirits. So when the time comes count Cedar Creek all right. We were suffering severely for rain a few days ago, but on last Friday evening we were visited with a heavy rain, wind and some hail. The wind damaged crops considerably, blowing down corn, cotton, &c. We notice in yotur paper the reunion of several of the companies .frm Fairfield. What say the uriosof Company B, 7thi South Carolina Battalion, to having a 4meeting, to keep pace with the rest of our comrades of the Lost Cause?i * We would like very much to hear S from our comrades on the subject. And now tell us if it is a'violation of law to catch minnows out of our branches, mill-ponds, &c., as .ewant to go fiehing, and heard somebody say the Revenue woul~d c ateb uis if we. ', CEA~ CEEE.

The' propriety of holding the sheriff"s election at the same time with the election for representatives this fall was discusso, an,l it was taken as the opinion of the club that it was both lawful and expedi ont to bring said election off this fall.
