They adver tise the celebrated Winship Gins and Cotton Presses, which stands unrival led for the purposes for which they manufactured. Our farmers would do well to call and examine these gins and presses before purchasing. Rain Needed.?The need of rain is pretty generally felt through many aectiono of the county and will entail serious loss to the crops it not bad in a few days. At this season when corn is developing tho grain, a drought of only a few days be somes a very serious matter. Wo hope, however, the later rains may fall as well as the former and an abundant, crop may reward the efforts of our farmers. Ninety-Six, S. C, April 14,1879.? Dr. L. T.

We wouldn't like to say that any one lied, but there arc some people who handle the truth fearfully reck less. Yes, it is warm, wc know, but is that any reason why every fellow you meet should ask, "Is this hot enough for you ?H A little girl parsing the word "an gel," coming to the gender, asked the teacher if "there arc any men angels." Hardly any. Sickness, which prevailed so exten sively a few weeks ago, has abated and comparative healtiv is restored to our community.

Those of us who failed to secure the company of a ludy for the moon light picnic went "alone" and "divid ed time" with those of our more for tunate brethren who did. We vote the moonlight picnic a grand success. It was pretty gener ally attended by the young folks, and every one seemed to enjoy the occa sion very much. When, oh 1 when shall we have another 1 Monolog u e Entertainm but.? Miss Louise Clarke, a gifted Southern lady, will give a Monologue Enter tainment at Boliver's Hall, next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. She has appeared in Savannah, Agus ta and other Southern cities, winning Haltering enconiums from the press, I as a fine reader. We bespeak for Miss Clark a full house. Still Unsettled,?You may talk about your fifteen puzzle being hard to work out, and no doubt it is, but the hardest puzzle the Orangcburg public has had to contend with yet is the remarkable question, "who is the prettiest young lady in town." At every fair this vexed question comes up, and tho hoys pitch in and vote eariy and often with the hope that it will he Mettled then and there forever. But no use. In a very short time the decision is set aside, nnd at the very first opportunity they are called upon to vote again on the same old ques tion. Let us hope that the vote the other evening at the moonlight pic nic has definitely settled the matter for a few months at least. Y. M. ?. A.?In .consequence of tho exhibition of Sheridan's School thcro will ho no meeting of the Asso ciation this evening.. .On Sunday afternoon a scrvieo will bo held at tho rooms at half-past six o'clock, to which all are invited. ?On next Tuesday evening the Bible class will meet at half-past 8 o'clock. Tho Executive Committee are re quested to meet at tho room on Mon day afternoon at 6 o'clock. Missionary Notice.?The Orange-1 burg Association having appointed mo missionary, with directions that I should visit all her churches in the Fork of Edisto, this notice is to ask the brethren and pastors of our churches to give notice of their pro tracted meetings^ also of destitute places, with the sick and allliclcd of our people. If invited, I will bo glad to visit churches that are not of our Association. Your brother, W. F. Chaplin, Orangeburg, S. C. A Sign.?When you see a man button-holing another now, it's a sign that he is -anxious to serve "the dear people." At the earnest solicitation of his friends and at great personal sacrifice, he has consented that his name may he used in the next Con vention. He may bo a captain, a major or a colonel, (privates seldom aspire,) with a "war record," byt never mind for all this. Find out if ho has always been "'sound on the goose." If not give him the "cold shoulder." ExiliniTfOV.?Tho annual exhibi tion of Sheridan's Classical .School will lake place this evening at half past eight o'clock in the Courthouse. The exercises will be varied by decla mation, music, etc., and the public arc promised an entertainment fully, up to the high standard of this school. The music will be furnished by the Edisto band and for the payment of which a collection will be raised early in the evening. Our citizens both from town and country arc cordially invited to attend. Conic early and secure comfortable seats as the exer cises will commence at half past eight o'clock sharp. Compound Extract Buchu, com posed of buchu leaves, dandelion root, acetate potash, juniper berries, pnrciza brava, and calinsonia root. AM of which arc highly valued diur etics, kidney stimulants and depur ants. The failure of the act ons of the kidneys is a source of many dis tressing diseases. This medicine produces a hearty action of the kidneys, removes from the blood the urea and uric acid, which if allowed to remain and accumulate would in duce rheumatism, gooty affections, pains in back and loins. This valua ble medicine is for sain by Dr. J. G. Wannamakcr. Price 75 cents per bot tle. a Sound Advice.?Young man, when you see anything you want, ask for it like a man. If you want to borrow five dollars of a man, or if you only want to marry his daughter, don't slide up to hiin and hang on to your hat and talk politics and religion and weather, and tell old stale jokes whereof you can't remember the point, until you worry the old man into a nervous irritation. Go at him with .t fu'l head of steam. Then you will fetch him. Or, possibly, he may fetch you. But never mind ; you'll accomplish something, and show you are not afraid to speak what is on you mind. Aud that's a great deal more than you would accomplish by the other method. Examination.?The annual exam ination of Sheridan's Classical School closed yesterday afternoon at font o'clock. The attendance of our citi zens from both county and town was most gratifying to the Principal and] the exercises, he trusts, entertaining to the visitors. The examination on every branch was thorough and right handsomely tho students stood the test, reflecting credit alike upon them selves and their school. Mr. Wm. Stokes, of Tennessee, at the request of the Principal tested the training of several classes by a most searching examination which gave perfect satis faction to himself and the large audi ence in attendance. The exhibition to-night will be a lilting close to the week's interesting exercises and n pleasant SGnd-ofl to the two months' vacation upon which both teachers and students will enter. Public Lecture.?Wc take pleas ure in calling the attention or* the citizens of Orangeburg to what wc arc sure will prove a rare treat. Mr. Samuel] W. Trotti, of Barn well, who is well known as an accomplished orafcor and polished scholar, proposes to deliver a lectuie in Orangeburg at the Courthouse, on tho evening of the 28ih instant. Iiis subject will be an interesting and novel one, and we know will be treated in a masterly manner: "The Chivnlric Character or the Model Man." The object of the lecture is to raise funds for the benefit of the "monumental associa tion" in its efibrt to place a tomb stone over tho remains of Carolina's great historic novelist, William Gil more Simms. The namo of Mr. Simms- would be sufficient to excite the enthusiasm and interest of Or angeburg in this effort. Orange burg, by Mr. Simms' works, has probably been more illustrated than ' any other county in tho Stalo, as the scenes of his liest books aro laid in this county, Tho topography of the county and some ot her best charac ter have been brought out by the mas ter hand of Simms. Let the people of Oinngeburg not be backward in availing themselves of this opportuni ty of aiding in placing this mark up on the last resting place of the gr/ent novelist, and the real historian of the county. Admission 25 cents ; lecture to begin at half-past 8 o'clock. "Givk T/hkm a iRest."? We print the following sad Appeal by request: "The young larilea of our town?tho unengaged young Indies?are so few in eompai ison.to the number of court ing young men, that Ib'cy arc nearly courted out of their 8cm:::s, and tho town appeals to some of her sisters, cousins or aunts to lend it about forty joung ladies until cold weather returns again in order that the afore said unengaged young iadies may get a little recreation." We publish the above with pleasure, understand ing it was written for the benefit of a young lady who is in imminent danger of being "courted to death " and what death could bo more horri ble. .We hope our "courting" young men will take the "hint" and give these "muchly" courted, "unengag ed" young ladies time to "recreate" n little, whether our sister towns re spond to the appeal or not. Verbuin, sat sajnenti. Death.?A gloom of intense sad ness was thrown over this community last Monday afternoon wben it was known that Frank L. Por'.er, Esq., bad breathed his last. We do not re member to have met elsewhere one who, at his early time of life, pos sessed to so high a degree as young Porter, all the more pleasing and sterling virtues of manhood. Posses sed of rare quioknesa and a tnste for study, he enjoyed tho rare benefit, in boyhood and youth, of a careful train ing by his father, the late E. J. Por ter, Esq , a brilliant lawyer, endowed with a vigorous, eclectic, literary talent, careful'y nurtured by thor ough education imparted in bis na tive country, Ireland. Frank L. Por ter, Esq., who was admitted to the bar last spring, was but a few months over twenty-seven 3*cars of age, and had he lived to exert properly the good gifts which God had bestowed upon him would have marie an honor able mark among his fclioyvmen. The immediate cause of his untimely end was congestion of the liver. The above, which wc clip from the Kings tree was the first intimation we had of the death of a very near and dear friend. It is hard for us to real ize that bis noble young heart has been stilled by the icy hand of death. One by one the links in friendship's golden chain are broken, and familiar voices will greet our coming no more forever. Over his new made grave wc drop the tear of genuine sorrow, and for bis memory wc will" ever cherish the deepest veneration. Branchville Dots. From Cur 0>un Reporter, Mr. W. F. Syphtctt has started to rebuild his store, which burned last March. Messrs. Carter & Connor, photo graphists, arc in town. They make good pictures. Mr. Loryca expects to rebuild soon a store twenty by sijety feet; also, a, largo grain house. There is talk of putting up a Cle ments Attachment here time enough for this year's crop. Mr. H. L. Connor, our enumerator, is progressing finely with his work, and expects to get through this week. The Branchville Eating House has undergone a thorough renovation, which adds greatly to its appearance. A disease is prevailing among the hogs called enlargement of the lites, which has destroyed a great many choice pokers. Wc congratulate Mr. Ligon, our congenial and accommodating rail road agent and telegraph operator, on having gotten into bis new olllce. Mr. E. T. R.

Tbc colored portion of our com munity are carrying on two "big meetings"?one in the Baptist and one in. the African Methodist Church. It is to bo hoped they will result iu great good.

IT will be apparent to any one who will examine a somu Gold Watch, that aside from the necessary thickness for engraving and polishing, a large propor tion of the preelou? metal used, is need ed oniy to still'en and bold the engraved portions in piacc. and supply the neces sary solidity and strength. The surplus gold is actually needless so far as UTILI TY and beautv arc concerned. In JAMES HOSS' PATEN T GOLD WATCH CASES this waste of precious metal Is overcome, and the SAME 8?MD1TT and STRENGT!! produced at from ouu-tbird to one-bad' of the usual eoit of solid eases. The pro cess is of the most simple nature, as lol lows: a piste of nickle composition met al, specially adapted to the purpose, has two plates of BoLll) <iOM> soldered one on each side. Tbc three arc then passed between polished steel rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy plated composi tion, from which the eases, backs, cen tres, bezels^ &C. are cut and shaped by suitable dies'and formers. The gold in these eases is sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and enamelling; the engraved cases have been carried unt'd worn perfectly smooth by time and use without remov ing the gold. THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE WITH TWO PLATES OP SOLID GOLD AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL CERTIFICATE. p'or sale by all Jewelers. Ask for Il lustrated Catalogue* and to see warrant.

I Oct .The Sensation of the PeriodJ ?ti*a.?iftfft? l>\vt True - HARD TIMES BE COME I HAVING been watching for t-ome thnc.paKt tile financial pulse of the country ifnd the ever varying events of ?io trading world with n view to the in crease'or decrease opr weekly pu rebates, we are prepared to njpiiQuncc to our num erous patrons that our. investigation of these subjects lias been perfectly satisfac tory and that wc have as & consequence forwarded larger ordcrsdhaii .ever be fore to our New York agency. The year lb'8Q therefore begins with .flattering prospects for farmers, mechan ics and all other laborers aJIke. The ' financial pulse of the country is steadily improving and having returned almost to a hard money basis, we shall gradu ally but surely recover our former pres tige and the so long declining prosperity of our beautiful Southern land. Being llrmly impressed with the fore-shadow ings of these approaching event* we have made arrangements commensurate with itho demands (hey will disclose. Our Agent hi New York js ajneady In receipt of our instructions directing him to be on the alert.lor every side and fail ure as well as.qvory Imme tottering on the brink of bankruptcy, so that he, with cash in hand may take jn .every bargain and thus enable us during, the present year not only to increase our own re sources, but to become also a never changing source of assistance to out* friends by selling them goods far beiuw the wholesale market of New York. It was the credit system that paralyzed onr industries in the past and eaused so many Interests to droop and wither while every article needed for family consump tion doubled in value. Thus while labor was inadequately compensated, goods of every description approached almost fab ulous prices and the daily sweat of a man's brow barely obtained for himself and family the commonest necessaries of life. Too much credit will always create demands greater than the sources of sup ply will satisfy, Jieu.ee everything takes uu upward tendency under jisoperation*. On the other hand cash tr-iiisaetions wil) make the supply larger than the demand and consequently goods fall.to bottom prices when,this.rule pr.evsjlls. We pay cjish jof all our good* before they leave the place bought from. Hence our ability (independent of^otir unrivaled facilities lor buying) to outstrip and un dersell all our competitors. The mer chant who buys on tinja, (and who.of them doesn't) nut only baa to pay the high est prices for what I hey- get but also the additional percentage added on all credit sales. Now all this comes out of the con | sumer, the man who patronizes the time ( merchant at home. It will at once be perceived Unit die diflerence between us is yast,indeed, and that the buyer on .credit system cannot, purchase goods at market prices, "while we. by paying cash, get the most extraordinary bargains at.a large discount on wholesale cash prices. It is therefore quite easy for us to sell below other mei chants and guarantee perfect -satisfaction in every case. Our system is one of our own, and h&a many advantages which we shall not ex* plain, but. let it sullies that the larger portion of the benefits arising from it are reaped by our friends and patrons, and\ by it we have established a reputation" near and dear to us. With honesty, fair dealing, quick sales and small profits as our watchwords we have conquered the demon of high prices and forced from him the acknowledgement that he has been systematically swindling atid de frauding the people. We have demonstrated to thousands in this and other counties that it is pos sible when dealing with a fair and honor able merchant who buys strictly tor cash, to purchase goods at prices which were current before the war.
