Tho Orangeburg Times L O C A. LB The gun team went but practicing on Monday afternoon. We arc glad to see that (Jen. J. F. Izlar i.s agaiu out at his business af ter a few days of severe illness. Mr. Jas. S. Hey ward has moved into town, occupying the residence of Mrs. W. M. Hutson, on R?ssel St. - w mm ? Mr. Berry has received the press nud material for his job blllcc, and Will be ready in a few days for work. Dr. J. C. Holmau, who has been sick for several days, we are glad to see, is out again. We regret to learn of the death of Mr. Holmau, an esteemed citizen of Barnwell, and a brothcr-iu law of Mr. Goo. H. Cornelson. We understand that Dr. Mucken fuss is about to have a couple of | cottage houses put up on Glover street. The monotony of a dull day was somewhat relieved on Monday by a cow prancing through the street with a tin kettle tied to its tail. Congressman Aiken has been sick for several months and prevented from resuming his seat after the holi days. See Vau Tassel's new advertise ment. His store round the corner cm Boughtou street is filled with everything goed, new and fresh, aud is always sought after. Martin Thomas, who murdered Iiis wife at Branch vi Ho, was last heard of at Grahamville where he sold his horse for a note to be collec ted at bank in Savannah, which may lead to his capture. -^j- ? urn - There ought to be a row of trees set out by Town Council, tit the proper time, from the depot to the African Church. It would be a great improvement to the town, and the ex pense woidd be a mere trifle. A horse ran away with a wagon on Rnrtsell Street un Saturday, creating considerable connteruation and doing Home du mage. The wagon wan smashed up and several little chil dren came very near being ruh over. We have before us quite a phen omenon in the shape of a fowl's egg with a strange scallop shaped figure or protuberance upon it. It was pre sented to us by Mr. S. (.'. I Iky den of the Fork, and can be seen at our olhee. Rev. L. F. Guerry will bold divine services in the Episcopal Church on Saturday morning. Sunday heihg Easter appropriate .services will also be held on this day, and on Monday morning an election for two Wardens and four Vestrymen will be held, It is a shame on Columbia that her citizens have voted down tho local tax for the support of education in the city. Think of Chester, Winns boro and Charleston taking steps far ahead of the capital of our Stale in >he education of the people! The ball given at Way's Hall on Tuesday night under the auspices of the Young Men's Social Club, was a complete success. The dance was kept up to a late hour, and ninny hearts were captured ami lost in its dizzy mazes. A mad dog rushed through our streets on Tuesday morning biting and Knapping at everything it eittue in contact with. It bit line dogs of Air. T. I). Wolfe, Dr. Dukes, Dr. Reeves,Dr. Hydriek; Mr. Kortjohn and others. It was finally kdled by Dr. Reeves. On Wednesday afternoon, about sundown, the stable and barn id' Mr. J. W. Cartin, in the Rull Swamp community, were completely destroy ed by fire, a large quantity of rough food and a mule being burnt lip with the building. The fire i.s thought to havo been the work of an incendiary We are pained to hear of the death on yesterday, of Mrs. R. K. Howcll, an estimable lady of our County, re siding a'few miles below Orangeburg. She was a consistent member of the Baptist Church, and endowed with many Christian virtues for which she was highly esteemed. She leaves manj' friends and a large family to mourn her loss. The funeral ser vices will take place at the Raplist Church in our town at 11 o'clock to day. The Presbytery of the Presbyte rian Church, held on Edisto Island, was attended by some of the ablest divines of the .State. JMosl eloquent and able discourses were delivered ]yy Drs. Girdrdenu, Junkin, Praekett and others. The deliberations were harmonious and successful. Rev. J. I). A. Brown and Cupt. Hamilton re presented ? rangebu rg. ?- mm m-?? - Read the advertisement of Mr. Jos. Eros in to-days issue. He will open his ice-cream saloon about next Tuesday. His lady patrons are invited, while out shopping, to stopMn his saloon for ice-water and ieed lomonn'dc, free of charge. He lias fixed up his saloon in fine s'yle and it will bo a pleasant place to rest as the warm weather corner on. Air. J. C. Pike advertises in to day's issue of tlie Tiiiks his splendid stock of merchandise, carefully .se lected from the best markets to suit the Orangeburg public, nil of which he is selling otl' al reduced prices. Croat attractions arc presenteil at this popular bouse, and all who wish to save money and get the best un invited to call. Head and then go and be satisfied. The skating link, which we an nounced last week- as having bbeu discontinued, we are glad to hear, is still carried on by Dr. L. S. Wolfe and Mr. May hew, who have bought the skates and are conducting tlie enterprise on their own responsibili ty. We are glad to hear of its con tinuance, and hope the young then in charge will receive the liberal sup port of the community. The Elliotts, at their meeting last Thursday night, passed a resolution instructing their Purchasing Coup in it tec to negotiate for a Truck to the amount of $800, suited to the re1 (iiiircnii'tits of our growing town. This is a good step. The company being in sound financial condition and clear of debts, a little risk, if necessary, will hardly result in any detriment] We bear of a young lady of our County who picked 312 pounds oi eottou in one day, and who, with the assistance of two sisters, picked 7G'J pounds in a day. They also iibed f) acres of cotton iu a day. This is a record for industry and usefulness, of which any one may feel proud. It is such independence and selfsus laihing power which will build up our country. It is a reproof to all the drones. , A colored child died in our town on Sunday from the effect s of a burn and i I It real l neu t. We learn that the little fellow was given to one Jam Footman by the mot 'her to take ehre of. Al oul three weeks ago it war beaten and tbiown into the fire, in the house of the said Jit he Foot ma ti as the verdict of the .Jury of inquest shows. Peeeutly the mother hearing of the ertiel treatment of her child sent for it, but only in time id withes-' its death in cur town 6h Saturday. Col. W. V. Iltitson, who has been in feeble health for some time, has. a! the earnest advice of bis relatives, wound lip his Inw business in Or ahgoburg and. retired to his old home, McPhersonville, where his daughter, Mrs. Sanders (Jlover, now resides. We sincerely regret his re moval from our midst, where he holds I so high a place in the hearts of our citizens, but we trust that the rest from the cares of his profession, and the new scenes which will surround bim will give him strength to enjoy a green old age. Dr. 1). E.Connor, a highly esteem ed citizen of Cowcastle Township, died last wetk aftei a brief illness. Dr. Connor was a son of l>. I,. Con nor, our retiring School Commission er, and was an honored member ol this large and respected family. II< was a public spirited citizen and was highly esteemed in his community His loss will be felt by his neighbors to whom he was always kind :md courteous, and in all parts of the County, to which his influence ex tended. ^>r deepest sympathy is ex tended to the bereaved faniilv. The Orangeburg Medical Society held tt meeting at the Court House on Monday. Drs. R. W. Hates and A. S. Hydrtck were appointed dele gates to the meeting of the State Medical Society in Newberry, on the 19th inst. We understand that a ?number of the physicians of our Coil lily will attend this meeting. A resolution was also adopted offering to indigent persons suffering from chronic disorders, the advantage of tiie free consultation and advice of the Society at their regular meetings. This is an act of professional chari ty which is highly commendable and we hope will result in good. A ense came up last week before Trial Justice I. O. A. Connor, which i.s invested with some public interest as one of the first trials of the law for the protection of employers in the services of their bauds. The case was bei ween two farmers of Cow castle Township. The one had em ployed a hand in the service of| another for which he was brought before the Justice under the recent act of the Legislature. The result was that the defendant, or party em ploying the hand that was already in the service of his neighbor, was lined $25 and costs. This may serve as a timely warning to all, of the ellieaev of the new statute. The services of the Methodist Church hist Sunday were mostly in the interest of the "Ladies Mission ary Society'.V 31 rs. Bishop Wight than spoke most beautiful I \ and touchiugly to the Indies in the after noon on the subject of missions; and in the evening an able, discourse was delivered by Bei*. S. A. Weber, edi tor of the ('Jirisfiiin At/vuraff. Dr. Cobke also eloquently supplemented die remarks of Mrs. Wight man in the afternoon. Dr. Weber ab preached to a large congregation in the morning. After services on each occasion he was surrounded by his many friends and admirers who de sired It) revive the pleasant memories of the past. We hope the services j of the day may prove a blessing to the Society and to bur people. The performances of Blind Tom on Saturday night were truly mar velous. He is, indeed, a mystery oast finding out. For a grimacing idiot, to all appearances, to perform the most intricate compositions of music with perfect accuracy and masterly skill is a phenomenon worthy of study and research. There is no end to Blind Tom's mem ory, and his power of imitating and reproducing sounds seems to have no ; limit. His playing of '?Yankee Doodle" with his left hand, "Fishers j Horn 1'ipe*1 with his right hand and singing "Tramp'* at tin; same time is simply wonderfKl. His battle of Mauattsas is grand. His spelling of Anything held tip in the hull from the touch of the keys oh the piano proves the marvelous development of his sense of so:;nd. All in all he is an enigma?a phenomenon of nature loo mysterious to unravel. We would, t all tlic attention of all interested to the r-uggoslibh in anoth er column to the Trustees of public schools in our County. It is particu larly the case with the colored schools that the parents of t.hc chil dren think it necessary to take them away from tin* schools as scon as the working season commences. From this cause i; is difficult to keep | these schools full after the Ist cd' Martdi. There will be a surplus of funds in some school districts which should be used hi fore t he commence ment of the hext school year in No vember. To take it up in September and October and haven long and continuous term next schob) year would seem to be lust; but I lie objec tion is made that these are the cotton picking months in which the little ones arc so useful and profitable. Hence the suggestion of J uly and August when there is little or no work doing in the crops. There is also another advantage Competent colored teach ers can also be obtained during tliCKC months from the higher institutions. National Surgical Institute. One of the Surgeons of this old and no table Instil ute will visit Bra neb vi lie. April 27th, at Carrots Hotel, and <)rangt burg, April 28th and 2i>thi stopping at the Fairy House. The object oft his visit is to give thealilicted tin opportunity lor ex amination at. or near their homes, thus saving hopeless cases the ex pense of a trip to Atlanta. A careful examination will be made, and ptiti* cuts can learn if their cases are cur able or can be benelitted, and wheth er it will be necessary for them to visit the Institute. In such cases as can be cured, or treatment begun at home, arrangements can be made with our visit ing Surgeon, and treat ment commenced at once.
