A Picture of a Dude.
Rev. Thos: Leitch drew a word pic
ture of the dude in one of his sermons
at Chappells ltst week. 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."
Open from 1st of September, a new
boarding house on College Street ; build

furnished, good water, healthy location,
convenient alike to college, postoffice,

of Edgefield, were expected to make
speeches, but they were not present
Hon. B. WV. Edwards, Senator from Dar

convention. Mr. R. T. C. Hunter,
chairman of the County Club, intrc.
duced Mr. Edwards, who spoke for one
hour and a half to anx attentive audience,
The Court House was nearly filled.
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

* must be separate and apart from any
other institution. He claimed to be
friend of the South Carolina College

The Three C's.
The engineering corps of the Three
C's under Capt. Ramsaur have reached
Newberry from Union and are waiting
here for orders to find out if they are to
run over the line from here to Augusta
and prepare it for the standard gauge.
Nearly all the line from here to Augusta
has been graded, and a portion of it for
the standard guage. The route located
to Union is 35 miles. From New
berry to Mr. L. A. Hawkins' the grade is
light, beyond there it is a little rough.
The line of Capt. Rimsaur is about the
s time as Mr. Whitney's survey, until it
reaches Mrs. Whitmire's where it diverges
to the lef and continues to Union.
Capt. Ramsaur is now stationed near

Pleasant Anticipations.
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."

A Negro Fiend.
LYuCUBURO, VA., August 30.-A
special to the Advance from Buford
yille says that Alexander Mitchell,
colored, was arrested to-day for as
saulting his daughter. He was cap
tured by colored men, and would
have been lynched but for the inter
ference of white men. He was lodged
in jail at Liberty, Va.
Excitement in Cuba.
KEY WEST, August 29.-The excite
ment at Havana continues. Troops are
everywhere. All confidence appears to
be gone. Even cable officeials are sus
pectd, and military are placed in charge
of telegraph offices to prevent dispatches
being sent of what is transpiring. All
important dispatches between officials in
Havana and authorities in Madrid are
brought here by special messengers for
transmission. Replies are also sent to
this office. Those acquainted with Gen
eral Marin state that he will carry out
his policy of purifying the public service
regardless of consequences, and already
the feeling of uneasiness permeates
ev ery branch thereof.
3Many, 31any Thanks.
Prom the Franklin, Tex., Herald.
The Herald renders many, many
thanks to the old, valuable citizen, J. A.
Thompson, for the largest muskmelon
we ever saw. It was indeed a "whop
per," weighing twenty-nine pounds. It
looked like a nail keg painted yellow.
DEATHS.
3r. William Bishop, of the Broad
River section, died August 24, 1887.
