He described him as wearing long pointed shoes, breeches so tight that he did not see how he got in them, a coat so short that it scarce met the pants, a collar so high that he could not spit over it, and with his hair parted in the middle like the hair down a hog's back, a non-believer in religion, or God, or anything of the kind, with a gold headed cane, a cigar ette in his mouth, with very little brains, and a great favorite with the girls, and in fact as "too utterly utter."

Mr. Edwards spoke of the rapid pro gress in art and science and in every walk of life for the past half century, and the necessity for the farmers tc awake to their interests unless they de sired to remiain'behind in the march o: progress. He thought the Agrieulhural College wa the _very thing thiey most needed, and urged its immediate establishmet, He thought it impracticable to have at agricultural department in con nectiot with the South Carolina College. Ar agricultural college in order to succeet * must be separate and apart from any other institution. He claimed to be friend of the South Carolina College but he thought it best to let this institi. tion go than not to est ablish an agricul. tural college.

The Newberry Cornet Band will give an entertainment in the near future at the opera house, arrangements for which are now making. The programme will be published in due time, the leading play t*o be "Slasher and Crasher." The town council has generously given the use of the opera house to the band, and as there will be no band stand in "the pat k" at present the boys are applying themselves undividedly to their new music and the cast of characters for their appearance on the stage. Mr. Silas Johnstone has kindly consented to man age it, and his good judgment is a guar an tee that the performance will be first class. The object of the entertainment is to get a new set of instruments, and perhaps a uniform, etc. The band is of very independent material; they will neither "beg, borrow nor steal"; hence the proposed entertainment. Some of our best young men are in the band, and in giving their time, talent and en ergy to a town institution (which a good band certainly is) they deserve the sub stantial encouragement of the entire community. A s the first step towards making anythinig a success is to "talk it up," we hope everybody will take a hand (or a tongue?) in talking this up and promising the boys a full house. Let the ladies especially talk. A Moonlight Picnic. - Several of the young ladies and gentle men of Newberry having put their heads together, figuratively speaking, to see what could be done to break the very (lull monotony and dispel the gloom that dull monotony always casts over a community, decided to have a moonlight picnic, as it would be "the very, very thing." Accordingly, plans were laid, and arrangements made to inaugurate the season (when cotton is supposed to come in-and cause money to circulate, and make everybody feel good and like dancing), with a hop and pienic by moonlight, that would lay the tame pic nics by daylight in the shade. There fore, on last Tuesday night, August 30, (lacking one night of being the anniver sary of the great earthquake) a large, bright and gay party congregated, duly chaperoned by Mrs. T. S. Moorman, Mrs. W. H. Hunt, jr., a'nd Mrs. E. M. Evans, at the Newberry Male Academy building [which will open again on the 12th; don't forget that]. The chosen night was a little cool, but nevertheless "just too lovely for anything." It was propitious-that is the word. The moon -ah! fair luna, we should sigh-as it (lid on the night of ye serenade when McW hirter's dog made the summe.r house a place of refuge, "sparkled o'er the ripples of Scott's creek," as gently as it would over any other stream. The August moon made "patches of silver light" through the pines surrounding the academy, and the mournful dirge of the trees was drowned ini the hum of merry voices. The table was elegant Sand abundant, and there was music and d:neing. The hours sped on wings too swift. At last the party had to break up and reluctantly leave the enchanted -spot, with pleasant recollections of so -much enjoyment and anticipations of many more just such ha&ppy hours. Al ftogether it was a nice atf'air. We were not present, but were told these things this morning by a young lady whose bright eyes sparkled and danced as she asked us to "wri:e it up, plea.,e."
