We hope, however^ this will only be temporary apd our Baptist friends may soon secure the services pf a minister worthy of the church.< !

W.e aro requested by Mr. Pake to return h\3 thanks to the friends .who cxtondod such valuable and timely aid to him on the day of the lire in removing his furniture and valuables from the threatened residence. Al though the danger was averted yet the aid was kindly and freely given and is gratefully acknowledged. Patent presses, mailers and feed ers are all right, says an exchange, but what newspaper publishers are most in need of is a machine that will take hold of a delinquent subscriber and make him pay up. The man who will gel up such an invention will get up some mornjpg and find a million dollars awaiting him. A dispatch from Richmond, Va., under dale of Jan. 19, says : "Arthur Jordan, a married negro, who had in duced a respectable white girl, daugh ter of "Nathan Aider, to elope with him but had been caught and lodged in ?12 county jail at Warrcnton, was this morning taken from jail by :i masked party and hanged on a tree in a neighboring cemetery." Judge Prcssley will attend court to-day to transact any equity business that ma}' be brought before him. 1 he necessity which gives such a short lime to equity cases here, arises from his having to p.it jn the Supreme Court on cases in which Associate Justice Mclvcr is not competent to sit because of personal interest in them. _ MajCON Telegraph says: ."From reliable statistics we learn that on the first day of the year 17,000 diar ies wore begun in Georgia, 21,000 girls began the study of French or German, and G 1,000 young men "swore oft." Verily, if we were tobe what wc wish to be, end not what we will be, what a moral and accomplish ed people wc would be. Such a good fortune, however, is not to be."

For the Teeth.?Many of the powders and pastes now in the mar ket contain ingredients like pumice stone, charcoal, &c, which ought never to be used for the purpose. The Saponaceous Tooth Powder is warranted to contain nothing in the least injurious, and has no equal for itc purpose, as its ilavor is pleasant, is perfectly soluble in the mouth, and contains nothing gritty or rough for the teeth.

It has seldom been our lot to listen to a belter speech, adapted alike to both grown people and children, than thp,t dclivprcd by Dr. B. Cookc, be fore the Children's Missionary Socie ty of the Methodist church on hi3t Sunday afternoon. The style was simple yet eloquent, often humorous yet convoying a healthy moral senti ment, and the diction plain yet learn ed and classical in many of his illm tralions. Dr. Cookc is an educator Of experience and high rank and cer tainly knows how to find his wny into tho hearts and minds of children, which is half the battle in the work of a successful teacher. Mit. Poler Cannon, our young and energetic bardwaro merchant, i3 de termined to make bis business a grand success by meeting every demand and supplying every want of our citi zens in his line. His present large stock of guns, pistols, jcutlery, indeed everything in tho hardware line, is a wonderful success from a small be ginning. It is the result of pluck, perseverance and fair dealing?three grand elements in a successful busi ness. Look out for his advertise ment in our next issue. James L. Moody, once and emi nent lawyer of St. Louis, and then circuit judge, was taken to die hospi tal in that city recently as a charity patient. After the war, when Gen. Grant visited St. Louis, Moody was his host, and it was intimated wheu Gen. Grant became President Moody would become an Associate Justice of (the-Supreme Court. But he took to.drink and lost everything, being driven troin the bench by impeach ment. Another warning for young men. MoiiTiMEit Lyles, a colored man living on the planta'ion of Mr. Nat. Peay, in the VVaicrcc section of this county,says the Winnsboro Neios and ller<dd, died on Saturday last from hydrophobia He was bitten by a mad dog about seven months ago, and first showed signs of the ter rible disease on Friday night. Drs. Robertson and E. W. Aiken were summoned to attcnt, but the man died before they reached him. They pronounce the case .a clear one of hydrophrbia. While Mr. Daniel O'Cain was get ting in a wagon on Saturday last, loa tied with lumber, the mules becom ing frightened ran and threw Id in to the ground before he could regain the scat. The wheels passing over Iiis leg broke it in two places?between tho ankle and knee and alsp the thigh bone. Mr. G'Cain is near eighty years of age and wc earnestly hope the means used for his recovery may be blessed of heaven with complete success. Oar warmest sympathies are with him in bis painful allliction. Buavk Ladies.?Ox a recent rainy afternoon the occupants ol one of Aikcn's saloons were much excited at the sudden appearance of three ladies armed with overcoats, over shoes, slippers and umbrellas, serob ing for husbands, brothers and friends, who had been absent from their boarding place for at least half an hour. After a brief war of words, four youngish gentlemen surrendered, deeming discretion the better part of valor, and were marched home wiser if not sadder men. The above which we clip from the Aiken Journal & h'eviau, shows that the J^diep over in Aiken aint to be fooled with. Leap Year.? In connection with the leap year privileges of ladies, the following has been resurrected by some one from an ancient volume en tilled ''Love, Courtship and Malrimo nie," printed in London in 1G0(j: "Albeit it has nowc become u part of the common lawe in rcgardc to so cial relations of life that, as often as every bissextile year dothc return, the ladyes have the sole privilege during the time it continuclh of mak ing love unto the men, which they doe, either by words or looks, as to them it scemeth proper ; and, more over, no man be entitled to the benefit of clergy who doeth in any way treatc her proposal with slight or contumely." The military spirit is on the in crease in our town since the splendid drill of the E listo Rifles on Monday last. Steps are being taken to raise and organize a pew rille company to compete with the gallant Kdistos for the honors of the county. Several names have already been enrolled and there is every prospect of ulti mate success. A company of Light Artillery is also on the tapis, but what may be the result depends on future development. *\\rc commpnd these enterprises to the favorable con sideration qf the young men of our town apd county, and hope the day is not distant, wjiep Qrangcbuvg may boast of the military spirit of her citi zens as in the days before the war.

We learn from n gentleman who lias just returned from a visit to Tex as that the drouglh is as severe in that far "Western State as here, and i already considerable sufferings huvej been tho result. In the country around Greenville water, taken from tho creeks, sells at prices ranging from 25 to 75 cents per barrel. The ] prairies present tho appearance of our old fields, all the grass dead and the stock, horses and cattle arc poor and in some places dying, G;uito a number of people from Georgia and Alubama are moving to Texas with the hope of finding a better living on her rich lands, but will doubtless find that disadvantages arc to be met and troubles to be encountered in Texas as well as elsewhere. Her citizens, however, must be an honest set, for the merchants of Greenville leave their store windows unbarred and of ten the doors unlocked. Radicals, we suppose, arc few and far between in Texas. The carrying of weapons, whether concealed or not, is prohibit ed by law under a penalty of 825 for each offence. Wc hope South Ca-oa Una will follow the example. The wealthy class of citizens in Texas arc doing well and 1,'ivo comfortably as elsewhere, but the poorer cili/.ens arc below the same class in this state, living in pole bouses with the cracks daube,d with clay and bare of all the comforts common to the Eastern States. The Fire.?On Tuesday morning last the alarm of lire called our citi zens and the lire department to the Oliveros house,, on Russell-street, the cook room of which was found to be on fiiyc. Jn an incredibly short time one pr two hundred persons were on the premises with .the two engines ready and willing to aid in saving the valuable property from destruc tion. The ?re had already got under good headway, but b^' the canmsl and persistent efforts of the department] under Chief Harphl Rjggs, was con lined lo tL\o room in which it origina ted, until I hp engines could be prop erly located and a constant stream of water was kept pouring upon the! burning roojp. T/hei Hook and Lad der Compaq* tore the burning tim bers away and the firemen at the noz zle directed the stream through the entrance thus made into Hie interior of the building, whpro the sruoother ed llamc was silently doing its work. At onetime the wind rose driving] the fiumes through the roofing and well up the sides of the main build ing. All hope abandoned the crowd,! but the brave firemen mounted the laddcis, carrying the hose with them and concentrated their cfloits upon' the top of l{ic building, where the | fiery tongue of the liquid flames I seem to be licking up the dry shingles and rapidly to impringo itself upon the weather-boarding above. Its an-' gry rage laughed at the earnest ef forts of the firemen but for a moment, aud yielded slowly, stubbornly but1 burcly, until the danger was passed and the beautiful dwelling saved. Where a noble work was so bravely done, it would npilbcr be right or just to make, distinctions, suffice it to say that the thanks of the town arc due to Chief Riggs and his entire Depart-1 mcnt, white and colored, to the citL-j zens who worked at the pumps and othorwise gayc a helping hand whore* ever it was needed, and to the many country friends, who leaving business aside, devoted their time ami strength to the safety of the town. The main building was not alone in imminent] danger but the lino residences of' Messrs. W. N. Scovillo and J. C. Pike, which stood on cither side in close proximity to the fire. If either of these had caught the flames would have been communicated to oilier buildings, and the destruction of a valuable portion of the town inevita ble. The loss sustained by Mr. Louis, who owns Ihc property, will probably amount to one thousand or fifteen hundred dollars, which amount fully covered b}' insurance.
