Meeting of th'e Fire Company
E. S. Chandler, Secretary.
For the Legislature -Man-,
Friends.
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. It is also
said that Joe Thompson will be
run by the Radicals for the Legis
lature, and that a full ticket will. be
put in the field. Meetings of the
faithful will soon be held all over
the county. The hydra-headed
monster is again showing itself.
SUNDAY SCHOOL MEETING.-Pursu
ant to a call from Mr. A. S. Doug
lass, the county chairman, a Sunday
school meeting was held in the
Presbyterian church on Saturday,
the 27th ult., at 10 o'clock, a. in.
The meeting was opened with prayer
by the Rev. J. A. Porter. Dele
gates were present from different
portions of the county. Upon mo
tion, Mr. A. S. Douglass was elected
chairman of the meeting, and Mr. J.
W. Law requested to act as secre
tary. The principal object of the
meeting being to elect delegates to
the Sunday-school convention to be
beld at Greenville on the 21st of
August, an election was held, result
ing as follows:
Principals-Rev. J. M. TodJ, Rev.
J.A. Porter, Mr. R. S. Desportes.
Alternates-Rev. It. G. Miller,
Rev. J. S. Connor, Mr. T. R. Rob
ertson, Mr. W. E. McNulty.
There being no further business
the meeting adjourned.
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

THE MONTIoEL,LO DEMOOnATS.-The
Monticello Deinoratic Club mot at
Monticello on July 13, at 3 o'clock,
p. n., pursuant to adjournment.
The action of the County Conven
tion was endorsed and the amend
ments to the constitution were
adopted.
Mr. Zealy offered a resolution
which w,; atop-ed as the sense of
this club, 0h1 in futuro tia ofh .es
of trial justice, county treasurer,
auditor and jury 3 >mmissionor be
left to the people to determine their
choice by ballot, and only at the
primary olection, the man obtaining
the greatest number of votes at that
election to be sent by the Exocn
tive Committee to the governor for
appointment.
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.
On motion it was resolved to in
vite, through the president of the
club, Captain Gaillard and Maj. T.
W. Woodward to address the people
of this township at Monticello on
Saturday, July 27, 1878.
Pending a motion to adjourn,
Phil. P. Pearson, Esq., was called
upon to address the club, and re
sponded in a brief speech, the publi
cation of which was requested. The
club then adjourned.
