Wupn a young fellow goes fifteen j
or twenty miles in the country to at

the case.
We heard a gentleman say the oth
er day that the lot of horses which
Mr. B. Frank Slater now has in Iiis

market.
The Orange Light Pragoons, Capt.

What about the opposition ticket
for Mayor and Aldermen ? Speak

As enterprising and successful mer

We wish for them a successful trip

Oua rcadcis arc informed that a
large supply of lamps of every varie
ty aud style, will be received in a
few days by Mr. S. A. Reeves.
Theso lamps arc fine and will be sold
qheap. Those wishing to buy will
do well to want and purchase one
from Mr. Reeves.
An interesting protracted meeting
js in progress at Rocky Grove Bap
tist Church. The pastor, Rev. Mr.
Barton, assisted by Revs. Raggett
and Sawyer, arp in attendance. Con
siderable interest is being manifested
and it is to be hoped that great good
will be accomplished.
Kortjohn's wagon has been busy
this week hauling in quantities of
goods, shipped on consignment to this
place through the efforts of Friend
Dick, who has been North for that
purpose. His orders aro to sell at
once, which will be done at low fig
ures iu order to make room for more.
We learn that Dr. T. Raysor is
carrying on a revival meeting at
Bethel, in his charge with good re-1
suits. Also that Rev. GetBingcr is
seeing his labors culminating in a
gracious revival at. AntiocU, a Bap
tist Church in St. Matthews. Verily
tho strong-holds of Salau arc being!
environed.
Tub exct'Tsion train of Wcdncs
day was a holiday affair. Rushing
from the Atlantic whore sweltering
days and mosquito hunted nights
arc seasonable, it outers tho high
mountain regions whore blankets and
thick clothing ensure comfort. We
can afford to stay where wo arc, as it
in getting pleasant here now.
We call the attention of little boys
and foolish men who arc in the habit
of using sling-shots in the street to
the evils of so dangerous' a pas
time. There is an ordinanco of the
town, wo believe, against tho use of
these dangerous toys and policemen
are required to make arrests where
this is violated.
Mr. B. Frank Slater ic selling off
bis fine stock of iiorscs very rapidly,
aiul those who may want to invest in
horse flesh had better give him an
early call.
The rico crop at this stage of its

The public will bear in mind that
the School of Miss C. M. Evans will
open on the fust of September at tho
residence of B. V. Dibble. The fav
orable reputation of Miss Evans, bas
ed on a long and successful experi
ence in teaching, needs no comment
from us. She deserves and ought to
get a liberal sharo of public patron
age.
Mr. J. B. Norris, formerly of Or
angeburg and son of the minister,
hail his store house, at Abbeville, en
tered on Wednesday night of last
week and robbed, and u quantity of
goods taken away. Entrance is sup
posed to have been made by a false
key. No traces of the robber so far
but the matter is being worked up by
competent hands.
The Fik st Balu.?Ou Monday
last, the 18th instant, Mr. J. F. Way
brought to market the first bale of
cotton of this year's crop. It weighed
410 pounds, classed middling, and
was sold to Messrs. Bull & Scovill
for 11 1-2 cents. This is ten days
later than last year, the same gentle
man Laving brought the first halo to
market on liic 8th of August, 18G8.
We learn that the dwelling of Mr.
Henry L. Smoalc, just across the
river, was entirely destroyed by fire
on Wednesday night last at 1 o'clock.
Little or nothing was saved from I he
Maines. The fire is said to have
originated from a fanner of ashes,
which was left uncmptlcd. This is a
warning to our citizens as the same
act of carelessness is common in the
country.
It is rumored that the Republicans
have nominated the following ticket
for Mayor and Aldermen: George
llolivcr, Mayor ; W. M. Sain, D. E.
Smoak, J. A. Williams . and John
Thompson, colored, Aldermen. Mes
srs. Sain, Williams and Smoak are
Democrats and we hope they will
promptly repudiate this mongrel tick
et by refusing to allow their names
to remain on it.
Frm T/af TuiiTii.?Many of the
powders and pastes now in the mar
ket contain ingredients like pumice
stone, charcoal, &c, which ought
never to bo used for the purpose.
The Saponaceons Tooth Powder is
warranted to contain nothing in the
least injurious, and has no equal for
its purpose, as its flavor is pleasajit,
is perfectly soluble in the mouth, and
contains nothing gritty or rough for
tho teeth. For sale by Dr. J. G.
Waxkamaker.
Our readers cf Si. Matthews and
of the county arc reminded that the
school at St. Matthews' Academy
will bo open on Monday the 8th of
September under Mr. J. B. O'Neal
Ilollov/ay. This is a first grade high
school where pupils, boys and girls,
will be prepared for college or busi
ness at as low rates as is possible in
this country. Mr. Holloway's ability
as a teacher is well known and needs
no comment. Send your children, it
is the best legacy you can leave them.
Our readers who indulge in the
luxury of a fine cigar aro directed to
the drug store of Mr. S. A. Becvos,
who has just received a lot of tho
best we have ever tested. '1 hose cigars
though fine, are cheap and sold by
Dr. Beeves at $1.25 a box. The
flavor is equal to that of cigars usual
ly sold for five cents a piece. He has
excellent tobacco at 40 cents and up
to suit everybody who wishes a goud
article. Tho best mustard we have
ever tticd is kept hero and cheap.
Baruary Wright was brought be
fore the Mayor's Court on Wednes
day morning on a charge of keeping
a dieordcrly house. She was sentenc
ed to ten days imprisonment or pay
85. The fine was paid.
Mily Hancock, beforo tho same
court on a charge of fighting received
tho same sentence.
Jinncy Balt/.cgnr, who was found'
cursing on the streets, was exhorted
by bis Honor, the Mayor, to do bot-1
tor and sent adrift.
Du. Thos. A. Elliott look advan- i
logo of the excursion and left for
Greenville ou Wednesday. May he
enjoy his visit and como back re
freshed for these labors which to him
are discharged in love as much so as
in duty to his profession. Among
the other excursionists wcro. Mr. Jas.
II. Fowles and ? family, Oapt. M.
Glover, Mr. Sam. Rickenbaker and
i daughters, air. L. II. Wannamakcr,
Misa R. S. Albergotti, Mrs. W. P.
Brunson, and others whose names
we tlid not learn.
We uro glad to note ,tkat a very
successful protracted meeting Las
just ended at Hebron Methodist
Church, near Boiling Springs Camp
ground. Eight accessions to tho
Church and several conversions are
the results of this meeting through
the labors of Revs. Melton, John
Inabiuet and T. B. Boyd. We also
learn that a similar meeting is in
progress at Union in tho charge of
Bev. Mr. Clifton with the prospect of
great benefit to tho community and
Church. Let tho good work go on.
Gheejnvii.le, Chester and other
towns have their "Building and Loan
Associations" which tend to build up
theso towns, foster home enterprise,
secure instructions, and give com
fortable homes to men of small means
on the syatein of the "many a nicklo
makef. the muckle." Can't wc have
a building and loan association ?
Tho "Home & Dower" agency with
headquarters in Atlanta, an institu
tion of the some kind, is lending
money to improve farms and build
homes.
We call attention to the school no-1
tico of Miss R. S. Albergolli in
another column. This school claims
the right*of seniority in Orangoburg,
having been in successful operation
during and since the war, and has
graduated a large number of young
ladies throughout the county, who
willingly bear testimony to the thor
oughness of instruction and plan of
study pursued by this able teacher.
Parents can do no bolter than patron
ize this weil known and first-class
school.
The worthy and efficient agent of
the South Carolina Railroad at this
place, Mr. T. O. Dawaon, deserves
ihc thanks of the excursionists on
Wednesday lor his unremitting efforts
in behalf of their comfort whilst in
wailing for Ihc train. This is espe
cially just when it is considered what
an amount of labor is involved in
carrying out the instructions of Mr.
Receiver Fisher. Report after report
must be made daily, weekly and
monthly on Ihc same subject, necessi
tating long lines of figures, all tally
ing and balancing lo tho letter.
Mb. B. M. Bulsifier, of the Boston
Herald quotes the statement that the
people of the United States pay ?700-,
000,000 a year for spirituous and fer
mented liquors and only 895,500,000
for education, and $48,000,000 for
rcligiou. "I had no idea wc were
such a thirsty people," he says ; "but
I have heard a good deal of viiluous
indignation expressed because church
properly is exempted from taxation,
and some of the States have come
very near ruining themselves with
cxpensivo common schools. Sup
pose we should all swear off for
three years and wipe out the public
debt."
Tub revival which has been in pro
gress at the Methodist Church in this
place was brought to a close on last
Wcdndesday night amid the most
solemn sccno it has ever been our for
tune to witness. So deeply was the
people impressed with the sermon on
"Bo ye also rcatjy," preached by the
Rev. Manning Brown, that when the
call was made for penitents, very
nearly half of the congregation went
up for prayer and one joined the
Church. Wo regret tho necessity
which closes a meeting so full ol
promise for future good, but wc trust
the work begun may continue until
every one is brought within tho pale
of the Church.
Said a young lady to Ihe editor a |
few evenings since, "My sweetheart
is a farmer and has great, large corns
in the palms of both bauds. But
though his hands arc hard, rough and
tanned, he has a kind and noble
heart." Wo asked if the young swain
had one hundred acres and a mule of
his own. Tho reply was that he had
two hundred acres and two mules.
Wc pronounced him a bonanza king,
and told our fair friend to catch him
if she could. We advise all our lady
readers to be on the lookout for all
such chances. Theso hardy plough
men arc the independent sovereigns
of tho land, and the salt of the earth.
Would there were more of them.
How to Keep Uil a Town.?Soil
your building lots at reasonable fig
ures ; if you can afford to do so, do
nate a building lol for some large
business enterprise, and thoroby en
hance the value of town property ;
induce business men to locale iu your
own town ; palronizo the merchants
of your own town; speak woll of
worthy public enterprises; if any
thing should be undertaken that may
bo of benefit to the town, do not
ipeak ill of it to others because you
happen to be prejudiced against it;
speak well to strangers of your town
and its people ; encourage your local
newspaper by subscribing for, adver
tising iu and paying for it.
About twenty.fiyo of our citizens,
ladies and gcntloiucn, joined tho ex
cursion for the up-country and moun
tains on Wednesday last. Wo saw)
among them the venerable Dr. Elliott, j
and trust that the strengthening at
mosphere a;id tho ^delightful scenery
of the mountains will improve his
physical condition and cnablo him to
return with the promise of many
years added to his valuabio lifo. A |
large crowd of friends and relatives
were at the depot to sco the excursion,
off and bid them God-speed in their*
search after rcct cation, health arid
pleasure. Wo wish them a quick pas
sage, a delightful sojourn and a safe
return to their homes and dear ones.
The election (or Mayor and Al
dermen of the town of Qrangeburg to |
serve for tho ensuing two years from
the Olh day of September, X870, will

the Oth of September. The Board of |
Managers, consisting of Messrs. T.
C. Alhergotli, C. L. Jones andHchry
F. Dickson, will also constitute the
Board of Registration of tho voters of |
the town. Books for registration pur
poscu will be opened at the Engine
House on the 5th, Gth and 8th days
of September. All bar-rooms will hp
closed at G o'clock P. M. on Monday,
tho 8lb day of Seplombcr, and re
main closed until G o'clock A. M. on
the 10th day of September.
We learn that Maj. J. J. Sallcy
visited the counties of Lexington,
Edgefield and Laurcns last week and
brings back flattering and cheering
reports of matters and things general
ly. Both cotton and corn are small
but the former has time enough to
make a satisfactory yield. Maj. Sal.ey
reports the farmers of the up-country
as being highly pleased with the "No
Fence Law." The people make more
milk and butter than they ever did
before. One of the blessings of the
law, not a mean one either, is that
one knows exactly where to find his
cows without losing ever so much
time hunting them. One man will
make two bags of cotton ori his old
fence rows.
"Ye Ohle Folkcs Concerte," as ad
vertised, came off on last Friday even
ing at the Court House. As was ex
pected a huge crowd had gathered

the opening of the exerj

me was admirably conceived;
didly executed by every one to whom
a part was assigned. The appear
ance of the room carried one back in
the past more than one hundred years
and called vividly to mind tho man
ners, customs and habit of a people
and an uge we have learned to veaer-j
ate becauso of the simplicity that
characterized them, and of a history
which is the foundation stone of our
present civilization and material
progress. To ucc and live even a
few hours amid such surroundings
was worth the fee charged for admit
tance, and so every one who witness
ed the concert considered it. We
have heard no other opinion express
ed but that it was "a grand afi'air,"
"brilliant success," "happily con
ceived," and "did credit to tho noble
actors who took part in tho affair and
sustained those parts so creditably
throughout tho evening. Of course
the community is indebted to Mr.
Obidiah Primrose, whose musical
genius could bo seen in every one of,
them second only to their ancient
"Songe Teacher." Tho community,
however, will pardon us for our mak
ing special mention of Mrs. J. A. H.
and Miss B., whoso voices wore plain
tively sweet pud wonderfully full yet
musical throughout their pieces. Wo
don't know that we have ever heard
better singing and so general through
out tho company. Tho little boys
and girls deserve special mention for
the excellent manner in which they
performed their part which was no in
considerable item in tho programmo
and afforded Obidiah Primroso a
splendid opportunity to display his
wonderful talent. Orungeburg is pe
culiarly blessed with musical talent
and why may wo not have frequently
i such occasions of amusomcnt here as
elsewhere. Wc can and the public
will appreciate it.
