It is highly probable that the Columbia Base Ball Cub will pi iy games of base ball witli the home team on the Darlington grounds on August 6 ami 7. Columbia sent tbe challenge for the above dates aud Darlington has accepted the same. Efforts are aHo being mad • to have a game at this place between H »r- liHgton ami Cberaw ot: August 1st Ljdia also wishes to‘'tackle” the Dailington champions and Friday will probably be tbe time. The colored club of Darlington is establishing a fine record. Op Tuesday the club crossed bats with the Marion colored team, defeating the latter by a s.ove of 26 to 8, aud on yestetday defeated the same club, the result being 18 lo 17 This local club has been organiz-d three years aud has only been defeated ouce and that at the s< com! game played alter organization. -Among its large number of detested oppo nents are Columbia, Charlotte aud Cheraw. An Address on Education. Ou Thursday, August 1st, a rare opportunity will be giveu all inter esttd in such mutters to hear an able addicss upon the subject of education since on that day U<ni. James II. Rice, btat<* tiuperiirvud- ent of Education, will be in Darling ton for that purpose, In view of the recent legislation in regard to ! public schools aufl of ihe fact that the first session of the Darlington Giadt-d Schools will begin at a very early day, the time selected for the address is most opportune. Col. Rice will explain the uses of the , „„ Ac’s of the last legislature and it is ti, ev he mads to hu lily desirable that every one should be present to confer with bun upon the subject. His address will be directed to all, hut especial ly to women and ministers ot the gospel. It is clearly the duty oi every parent and guardian and all who have at heariihe welfare of the youths cf the 8tate to be present ou that occasion, and we sincerely trust that Col. Rice wiil lie received by a large, intelligent and apprecia tive audience. Col. Rice’s ability aud familiarity especially with matters concerning education are well recognized, and his labors at this place, ifpropeily et oouraged by our citizens, cannot be but fruit ful of many good results. That tbe time set tor Col. Rice’s address aud the Floral Fair should be upon tbe same duy is unavoida ble, but iu order that all may be present at both the address and the glad to hear j fair, thr former will lie had upon the tair grounds at 11.3QA.

An Enjoyable Occasion Promised, For some time past the young ladies of the town have been mak ing earnest preparations tor a “Can tata” which will be given iu the Opera House on Wednesday even iug, July 31, under the able direc tiou of Mrs. E. L> Murray. The idea to be conveyed by means of impersonations and choruses is ex ceedingly well chosen. Au outiiae of it is as follows : Ou New Year’s Eve, “Old Father Time’’ appears to remind the “Old Year” that his given time is fast drawing to a close and to request of him au account of the moments already spent. Where upou “Old Year” summons the four seasons aud h's twelve daughters, the twelve months, who, attended by their sprites, each in turn ad dress the old “F. ther.” This con stitutes the first part. Picture scenes from tbe experience of the four Seasons, in the shape ot vety pretty tableaux, intersper^d with choruses coustitute part second Adieux to the “Old Year” aud wel come to tbe “New Year” make up part third. The tablea' X promise to be very flue aud tbe choruses will challenge comparison with any musical efforts ot the kind. The impersonations wiil be particularly pretty aud such appropriate sub, jects as the Seasons, tbe mouths, “sunshine,” “dew drop,” “rainbow,” “snow” and “sleet” aud others, rep resented by Darlington’s fair ones, will not fail to impress one with the good, the true, the beautiful. A most enjoyable occasion it will un doubtedly be. CYPRESS- —The hoiilrli ot our community is very good.
