Darby the Methodist Church will be closed on next Sunday. It is amusing to hear the average yillago youngster discuss the impor tant bubject of "swearing off" as phristmas di aws near. We had tho pleasure of meeting R. C. Logau, Esq., the genial travel ing agent of the News and Courier, in town one day last week. Odk blacks arc all in. Ladies call early, so you can get what you want before the assortment is broken. Re spectfully, Henry Kobn. Ocr thanks arc duo Mr. S. A. Reeves for a package of his best can dy. This package was taken from a large pile which he is selling rapidly and cheap. Sheriff C. 0. Bowcn, of Charles ton, was married about ten (lays ago to the daughter of cx-Gov. Moses, of Rniftter, and is now on his bridal tour through the North. The Wagons advertised by Capt. J. A. Hamilton are first class, and in best repute. It will r.cpay an ex amination by those who wish one and two horse wagons. Young men if you want a nice suit of clothes you must see Henry Kohn's large selection, and if he can't suit 3'ou be will make to order. Sam ples of goods on exhibition. In view of the fact that the Fair is approaching Henry Kohn has re plenished his assortment of fancy tics, lace collars and gloves, and all the latest Parisian novelties. The weather is unusually warm for this season, and the rain still de lays its coming in sufficient quantity to impart new life and vigor to fall Vegetables and unraaturcd field crops. Mr. C. R. Jones was elected clerk of the Town Council on Tuesday eve ning. The selection is a good one and Mr. Jones' business capacity will make him a most elllcicnt ofllccr. The ein of ambition by which the angels fell, will never be marked down against tho young man whose sole cf fort is to carry a light cane and a still lighter moustache. Beauty, like the flowering blossoms soon fades ; but the divine excellence of the mind, like the medical virtues of the plant remains in it when all those charms arc withered. Ip 3'ou desire a first-class buggy (top or without lop) call on Mr. 15. Frank Slater on tho 15th instant, when he will be in receipt of a lot of the finest buggies ever brought to our town. Mayor Mosclcy closed the negro billiard saloon on Monday and fined the proprietor five dollars. A po Jicemnn was also fined five dollars fur not answering the blow of a whistle pn the street. Twenty-five or thirty-five buggies and carriages will be received by B. Frank Slater on the 15th instant and offered for sale to the citizens of Or nngeburg County. Be sure to come and select the best. In February next there will be five Sundays. The fact occurs but three times in a century. Thus, after 1 880, *wc will have to wait until 11)20 before tho shortest month of Inc year can again boast of five Sundays. Mr. George W. Williams has em ployed ex-Gov. D. H. Chamberlain to defend the cases brought against him on account of cotton specula tions in Now York. Were, there no lawyers in Charleston or South Caro lina able to do it? What Is the matter with the News and Couritr ? was the complaint on ? Wednesday. The matter is that by some accident it did not appear, and everybody felt it. It wao the fault of somebody that it was too late as tho paper is'always up to time ! Du. W. 0. Wnnnamnkor, of Char leston, brother of our cxccllcn drug gist, Dr. J. G. Wnnnnmakcr, was in town hist week on n Hying visit to Iiis relatives and friends. The Doc tor looks well and seems to improve under the arduous duties of his pro rcssion. Tu eke was quite a crowd in town on Monday last to attend Court, but Judge Aldricb being sick, the jury was dismissed until next Monday, when it is hoped His Honor will be able to attend. A few pieces of land were sold and a few old horses offer ed for sale but no purchasers. We arc glad to learn that Dr. Du bose, of Hudson, N. Y., expects to build on a lot adjoining Mr. C. B. Glover's lot and to make Orangeburg his winter home. Such a man is real ly an acquisition to the town, and we extend to him a cordial and hearty welcome on behalf of our peo ple. Ex TinAi. Justice YV. O'Cain was compelled to shoot a colored man, crippling him, in his cotton field on Wednesday. The case is under in vestigation and, it seems, was one in which the assailant got the worst of his bargain. Mr. O'Cain says it had to be done as the man assaulted him. Wound not dangerous. All the fools are not dead yet, as was attested on Saturday and Mon day last by the success which attend ed a street vendor of spurious jewel ry, cheap paper and envelopes, ?See. Why will our people patronize such impostors when the same and better goods may be bought in any store in Orangeburg. Mu. B. Frank Slater, who went on to Cincinnati for a lot of Buggies, re turned last week after purchasing twenty-five or thirty of the best Bug gies and Carriages ever brought to the Orangeburg-market. These ex cellent vehicles will be here on the 15lh instant, and will meet with ready sale?the demand is gieat - and inquiry after them earnest. As a .sign of the enterprise and prosperity of our citizens we will mention that there are a larger num ber of slcam engines employed in ginning, grinding and .sawing in the county now than at any previous poii od of her history. Our farmers have learned that steam power for such heavy work is belter and cheaper than mule power. Cotton in Liverpool sells at G and G 1-2 pence, which in our currency equal about 12 and 13 cents. In Charleston the prices range from ? to 10 1 4 cents, and in Orangeburg the staple sell at 8 and 1) cents. Our readers can judge pretty well from this statement w bother they arc get ting the prices for cotton the present state of the foreign market warrants. "The Lord will provide" is an cxccl 'cnt motto, but "ThcJLord helps those who help themselves" is equally good. The patriot who sits all day in the sun on a dry goods box before th'j vil lage store whittling and talking 'bout last 'lection, though he has all the faith in the world, mustn't expect to go home to supper and find quail and buttered toast waiting for him when be gets lhero. A young lad}' at a certain place in Wayne County, Ohio, asked Hie pray ers of the congregation because she could not sol eyes upon a certain young man in her neighborhood with out feeling as though she must kiss him to death. If wo had been in that young man's place wc would have ap plied to the court for an injunction restraining that congregation from interfering with over affairs. Tub causeway over the river is in excellent Condi'.ion, and, to complete the job and at the same lime make the road a lasting one, we would suggest that the way be planked. The earth recently thrown up will not slay long unless something further be done. Nothing will protect it better than to plank the causeway. Our County Commissioners may make the calculation whether it will pay or not. Politics make strange bed fellows. In the spring of 1800, only nineteen years ago, Benjamin F. llullcr of Massachusetts was a delegate to the Democratic Nrtional Convention at Charleston, and voted persistently, and for tho most part alone, for Jef ferson Davis as his choice fcr nominee for tho Presidency. In the spring of 18G0, Wendell Phillips characterized that vote as the crowning act of Mas sachusetts' infamy, and refused to vote in a counting where such things were possible. To-day they stand together on one ticket. If the whirl igig of time has developed anything more strange wc do not know it. Ali. the buggies and other availa ble vehicles in town have been en gaged for Boiling Springs Cnmpmccl ing und quite a number of our young people will visit this favorite camp ing ground. We wish Ihein n pleas ant time and a profitable visit. Let cveiybody watch for the night of November 13, 1873. Prof. Tice says tbat wc arc to have on that night the most brilliant meteoric dis play overseen since 1833, when, to all intents and purposes, the sky literally rained lire. The display for this year will not commence until about one o'clock in the morning, but the Pro fessor says that the magnificence of the display will more than compen sate for the inconvenience of the vigil. Fort the Teeth.?Many of the powders and pastes now in the mar ket contain ingredients like pumice stone, charcoal, &c., which ought never lo be used for the purpose. The Saponaceous Tooth Powder is warranted to contain nothing in the least injurious, and has no equal for its purpose, as its llavor is pleasant, is perfectly soluble in the mouth, and contains nothing gritty or rough for the teeth. For sale by Dr. J. G. Wann a ma kek. At the regular weekly meeting ol Orangeburg Division, No. 21, S. of T., hehl on4ast Monday evening, the following olliccr? wore elected to serve for the ensuing quarter: J. L. Sims, W. P.; Dr. T. A- Elliott, W. A. ; T. L. Wannamaker, R. S.; A. D. Cannon, A. R. S. ; \V. B. Thomp son, F. S. ; J. C. Edwards, T.; J. A. Williams,Chaplain ; Miss C. Tucker, C.; Mrs. N. Wiles A. C. ; C. P. Branson, I. S.; G. (). Aycrs, O. S. Why will some citizens of Orangc burg persist in ordering their little necessities of lile from Charleston or Columbia, when the same articles, and of as good quality can be pur chased at home equally as low?thus saving the freight charges, inconven ience of ordering and waiting and risk in not being suited. If those who have been doing this would give our merchants a chance wc are sure that they would be pleased at the re sult. Try it. We invite the attention of our read ers, and especially the farmers, to the advertisement of the Red Oats, for sale by Mr. \V. II. Rowlett of Hodges, Abbeville County, S. C. The season for planting is now at hand and it becomes our farmers to get the best seed, and to procure them from relia ble persons in the up-country. We know Mr. Rowlett and can rccom mend him to our citizens as a man in every way reliable and worthy of their confidence. Give his oats a trial. As an important impiovemcnt of our town wc mention the remodeling and repairing of the Democrat office on Church street, which gives us mure room and more comfortable quarters; also the dividing of the lower story of the same building into two noat rooms, suitable for offices ? one of which is already occupied by Trial Jussicc Julius Glover as a law ollico. We welcome His Honor as a close neighbor to the Democrat, and assure him that his lines have fallen in good company and in pleasant places. Something for the Boys.?Boys! wo want you to try your hands on the following puzzle: "A young man asked an old man for his daughter in marriage. The answer was,'Go into the orchard and bring in a parcel of apples. Give me one-half of the whole number, and the mother one half of the balance and half an apple over, and the daughter one-half of the remainder and half an apple over, and have one left for yourself, without culling the apple and then, if she is willing you can have her.' lie solved the question. How many ap ples did he bring?" Koktjoiin offers great bargains this week, Hisstock has been large ly replenished by new arrivals. He hardly knows where to put the goods, and yet he, has advices of other con signments. He informed us that he must make room and in order to do so proposes to have Two Grand Auc tions?one on Saturday, his regular day, the other on Monday, 13th, for merchants. This will be a splendid opportunity for merchants in the town and country to replenish their stock. Looking over the stock to be offered wc notice the following: Bas kets of all kinds, tinware, long cloths, homespuns, blankets, coats, pnnts, vests, overcoats, jeans, buggy whips, shoes, gloves, hoods, shirts, trimming, knives, spoons, platcd ware, hosiery, soap, tics, collars, un dershirts, drawers, umbrellas, dress goods, bats, caps, boots, &c. * Several of our citizens, both ladies and gentlemen, availed themselves of tho excursion rales offered by tho South Carolina Railroad and visited Indian Field Cfttnp-tnccting last week. Monday morning they returned home perfectly delighted with the trip and tho hospitality of the people, for which they hereby return most grate ful thanks- Among the excursionists was a representative of the Demo? chat who unites with others in praise of the generous kindness everywhere extended b}' the tent holders, and is BOriously impressed with the beauty and loveliness of the Colleton ladies. Being a single man, as indeed were two-thirds of the excursionists, we are not so much surprised at the open-handed welcome they iecoived as their willingness to return to the matter-of-fact business of life after such serious impressions. We fear George's Slu'.hn will be visited by some of them often before another Camp-meeting comes around. Jn addition to glass ball shooting and other amusements, the directors of the Fair have made arrangement for a Tournament, and Capt. N. N. IIa}den is entrusted with the man agement of this important feature. It is designed that tjic Knights ap pear in full uniform, and that every effort be made to make the Tourna ment an interesting feature of the ex hibition. We hope it will be a sue-" cess and good riders sufficient to make it so, must be secured at an early day, so that some time may be had for practice on the ground. These amusements, if properly con ducted and skillfully executed, will add a*great deal to the enjoyment of the occasion and he the means of at tracting a lager crowd to the Fair. New features lend novelty as well as variety to the programme, and arc, therefore, desirable. National Suroicai. Institute.? One of the stall of this old and nota ble Institute will visit Orangeburg, S. C, October 81 and November 1, 1870, stopping at the Mcroncy House. The object of this visit is to give the afllictcd an opportunity for examina tion at or near their homes, thus sav ing hopeless cases the expense of a trip to Atlanta. A careful examina tion will be made, and patients can learn ?f their cases are curable or can be benefited, and whether it will be necessary for them to visit the Insti tute. In such cases as can be cured, or treatment begun at home,.arrange ments can be made with our visiting Surgeon, and treatment commenced at once. Examination free. Cases of Deformities and Chronic Diseases will be examined?such as Club Feet, Diseases of the Hip,Spine and Joints, Paralysis, Piles, Fistula, Ca tarrh, Female and private diseases and diseases of the Eye, Ear, &c. Come early, as the visit is limited to the time stated. For circulars and full particulars address National Surgical Institute, Atlanta, Ga. The Fair for the benefit of the Udisto Iiilk-s will open at Elliott I Hook and Ladder Hall next Thurs day evening at seven o'clock, and be continued until Friday, opening at elcyen o'clock in the morning and closing at half-past live in the after noon, and opening again at seven o'clock in the evening. Contributions! of milk and eggs may be sent to the j residence of Airs. 1). Louis on Thurs day and Friday mornings, and dona tions for the supper table the same days to the hail.

A copy of "Tennyson's Poems" will be balloted for during the Fair, to be given to the school receiving the greatest number of votes, as a prize to bo awarded to the most pro ficient scholar in that school. Price of vote ten cents. We again commend this enterprise of the Edislos to tho people of our town and county. If you have not contributed yet, dos so at once, and further aid and assist them by giving your presence at their entertainment. This will cueouarge thorn much, und you may rest assured that all willjbe done that is possible to make the evenings pass oil pleasantly.
