Roll's family grocery in rumciout guarantee to every one that the above place is v.-here the best goods ore obtained at the lowest prices. Tho party who lew in poescwion a Doctor's Cull Book belonging to Dr. A. S. Salley hod better bring it up before they get in troublo about It. A word to the wise is sufficient. ??????-?- ?? i Hampton's Day! iOctober 24th, 1878. PROGRAMME: The several Democratic Clubs in the County will assemble at Orangeburg at 8 o'clock A.

Thin command will he a special escort to Co v. Hampton and tho otln-r visiting statesmen and a full turnout is required. N. N. IIa then, Capt. Commanding. October 14th 187*. Tho court spent three days of the week in trying tho ca*o of the Tiuftees of tho Baptist Church against T, C. Andrews. The oasu was given to the jury on Wednesday night and on Thurmlay a verdict for tho plaintiff was returned. Henry Kohn and his associates i* pushed up to thuir utmost to wait on the crowds that daily visit that already popular ami ijw-price house- Satisfaction in prices and goods and courtesy to all arc guaranteed. What moro do you want. Began in great variety, quality and price may be. found at the Drug store of Messrs. Reeves & Sheridan. Persons fond of the "weed" may treat themselves to the best at a low cost. Also pocket cutlery of the best make, including the best razors,and knives. Give them a call. An addition to the already huge and well selected stock of general merchandize of Messrs. Utsey & Murray has been recently made for the convenience of their custom ers, consisting of near load of Hour, also clothing ami other things too numerous to mention. Call and see for yourselves and you will be sure to buy. ? .ii ? ? ? ????? ? \Vc call the attention of our readers to the very handsome pictures decorating the ceil ing and walls of Mr. Kirk Robinson's store, These pictures are offered very low and consequently hell very rapidly. Mr, Hoh inson's increasing business demanded a re moval from his old stand to his present roomy quarters, where may he found a well selected stock of general family mer chandize and at proverbially low prices; books, especially, those recently adopted by the State Hoard for the use of common bcIiooIb; stationary of every variety and fancy. He sine to call at the store two doors east of Messrs. Hull A Scoville and sec what a change is there. His advertisement will appear next week. Mr. CJco. H. Cornelson's furniture store is full and still there is more awaiting room. What need is there of going to Charleston or anywhere else when Orangoburg through her enterprising merchants can furnish everything needful to the fanner for the comforts of home and protection of person and nt cheaper rates than elsewhere. Another Democratic Journal will he issued at Aikcn, S. 0., beginning with the ?;< rd instant. The more the better, and the more certainly will we get Democratic principles before the people of our State. The new paper, The Aiktn Jici'iew, will he devoted to the interest of every class or colt r ?>f her citizens only, ho?ever, upon the Democratic platform. It will recog nize the fact that "Democracy is the only party by which the redemption of South Carolina can he assured." Wo r.tsh the A'enVtr all the Hticcoss possible in the field of .Tournalinie. We learn that the. Radicals of Orange, burg have, at last, determined to put n liefet in the field ami make the last -and a most desperate effort to regain the position they have lost, and again control the alfairs of the County to suit themselves and their needs. It is reported that the Convention will meet on Monday next, at which titno we may expect to hear some moro anti Hampton speeches, fand see a ticket put out with a good *?pply of Democratic mucilage. Who will In- poovd upon the ticket Is a mere innt'.o.* of nonor. hut there is one thing cer ta'n, no tree Democrat will slow Iii.? name to t>o used for any such purpose, and if used against his will, he will certainly not quali fy for any otiice to which lie may ho thus elected. THE NIGHT Jt LOO MING CEREUS? The queen of the tropics held court on Monday nicht last in Orangoburg. Our worthy citizen, Mr. N. A. Midi, had a "Cereus" sm?ng his collection of hot-house plants, and true to the inherent modesty of rial worth it presumed to no more than a plain plant of the cactus species. The leaves shot out in the cnndclcbras style, and there it stood, simple, modest,? "How oft secluded from obtrusive eyes IgcnuoitH worth, mere accident descrits." But this princess of the Ilrazils was not to ?hifh unseen." A faint vein was seen running from the stalk of the plant down its smooth leaf, mid then a hull' formed, it swelled nnd put on shape, until it was ob served that tlic "Night blooming Cereus" was about to hold court. At f) o'clock the 1 petals began I > i nfold, and as the full glare of lamp-light fell upon it, the bloom seemed to shrink from ? !The light was lessen ed ami an hour later found the Indian (.^?iecu in all the wealth of n purp and peor Irsa beauty; from the inuerfolds where the arch of the calyx rested there stood on1 Ho icate thread* of a yelluwbh tinge, each tipped with i. riovfny tufi, above these was a lace-work of the same color, and falling on the petals gave a finish oi hfK'.iiy that left the improntion of a lily prepared for a bride. A delicate odor pervaded the room, and 1 many friends came in to behold the '"Q icen j rf Ni.'ht."

A day tliere came, when at this mythic hound, A Nomad prince out Haran's far oil' land, Stood by the thie.ih, while thicks and slave* around, Keeted at his command. Pay tribute here spake warder in the gate, With haughty mien, hilse hie thee faraway, Tribute to pass, or by thy luckloss fate, Kite thee this day. Tribute is meet; I pay thee gold of 'hid' Or silks, or flocks, say what the tribute be : Much have 1 here, and more 1 leave behind My way to purchase free. The warder frowned, and set his greedy gaze Upon a tent that glittered on the sand, Then urging quick, he raid, yon curtain raise, (The rarest gems are cask et ed always) Or elsewhere with thy hand. First tell me, quoth the Nomad, tell : The fairest jewel of all Inside your Nile ; The eei eus white, or pearl out Ceylon's shell, Or yon gemmed peristile? The fairer, she before whom cert us fade, And pearls hick lustre, where she dwells, Isis the queen ; The Ceylon drops were made Only for her in shells. IIa! loose thy bolts, and stand thee ? fa rapide; And tribute pay for 1-gypt and her King; Sara; he calhld, and forth the Jewish bride Stepped from her covering. Proudly the prince with Sara passed the hound. And beauty Hashed around and every whore, Between her lips pure quarried were found, And pearls hcstriing her hair. So since (the legend tells) of Isis driven Abashed where loves in sadness weep her fate Since Sara's smile lit from the earth to heav en By Egypt's golden gate.
