As will be seen by the note from Mr. Thomas, Mr. Tin? dall is expected to address the farmers instead of* Mr. Tillman, who cannot ?come.

A GBAITO Ali 23 GLOSIOTJS SUC? CESS. ?feerybody who went to Columbia last week to attend the State Fair hare pronounced it *A grand and glorious success.' The weather was most charm? ing except on Thursday and then she was ng?y sure enough, but notwith? standing ail this the crowd in Columbia on that day was simply immense. This Pair has literally eclipsed its brightest reoord io the history of the Agricultural and Mechanical Society. A comparison of the receipts for the las": three years will demonstrate that fact beyond a doubt. In 1885 the receipts amounted ?6,532; in 1886, the receipts were $5,429 ; and in 1887 the amount reported is $7.0i8, to which will be added between ?500 and $800 to be collected. This will make the grand total of '87 over ?1,000 more than '85, considered at the time the most successful fair ever held. The finest specimens of home raised cattle "and horses were on exhibition this year and the agricultural exhibits from every section of the State were - unusually Sae. This is au encouraging" -siga and the Agricultural and Mechani? cal society is. doing a glorious work for South Carolina.# | | N |.i".,ia Th? KersTua-w Killing. i Columbia Register.. Saturday .

At the concludion of the above re? marks. Captain S G. Henry was elected Secretary of the meeting. Colonel J.

J. P. Thom-as. His ad? dress was of a historical character and quite interesting. We will endeavor to publish it hereafter. All that was done at this meeting j was an exchange of ideas and experi? ences. -No permanent organization was effected nor steps take? looking toward that end. A verv destructive fire occurred at St. Peter' Minnesota, Saturday night; ! one-third of the business portion of the i city was destroyed, and the loss is esti : mated at ?100,000. Senator Vance was thrown from a wagon, near bis home, on Saturday j evening last-, and received a cut on the bead shout three inches long and reach? ing to the bone ; the injury is severe, but not dangerous. - mia -?-?-mm* The throttled Anarchists were buried j in Chicago on Sunday, when the Social ! ist and Anarchist elements made an ! imposing display ; the hearses of the j executed men were covered with floral j offerings and other tributes, and every i effort was made to do honor to the dead ; ! everything was conducted ia a quiet and ! orderly manner. Michael Schwab, jone of the commuted Aanrchists, says Louis Lingg was a scalawag and miserable rat, and that he was the cause of Spies' execution ; he thinks his purpose was tc do wholesale murder with'the bombs which were found in bis . cell. Schwab has been assigned to the j kitchen in the penitentiary, and Fieideo j to the stone-department. St Luke Items.. ST. LTJKE, S. C., Xor. 14, 1SS7. A'r Eoilor : The Fair is over and all who attended from this neighborhood have return ! ed, feeling, perhaps, much benefitted by their j visit, Many of ocr young bloods, who went j over, looked worse, externally on the day of j j their return than the day on which they went ; j j but we guess this deteriorating appearance ] j was counteracted by the fact That they felt j better inwardly. But Mr. Editor, none of I them had to go to bed like some we know J who did so after they had returned from ! Charleston during the Gala Week. If such ! had been the case with those who attended i i the Fair, we would advise them never to visit j the Capital again during such or similar oc I casions. j Our Church has at last received its addi j tional improvements. It is not like a man j new outside and old inside, but it is really 1 ! new both within and without. It has none j bf the greea and red bands, and colors, etc., j that so untastefully figure in some of-our j sister Churches : but it is beyond the shadow ? of a doubt as pretty a country church as eau be found anywhere. As the ecclesiastical I year ends about next Suoday, Rev. Mr. Mat tison, our popular pastor, will we fear preach, to ns, his last sermon on that day. Mr. Mat- j tisos is ac able minister as well as a popular I one, and should he not be returned to us I another year, this community will experience ! a heavy foss. i Mrs. T. D.
