The'entertainment given by the Nondescript 2!ub on last evening was unquestionably one j )f the finest amateur performances ever wit itssed on our stage. It was perfect in every >ariicular, combining ia a remarkable degree :he sublime with the ridiculous. The tableau ?cenes ?ere the best of the kind we have ever seen-, especially the" "Inspiration Scene." One of the principal features of the pro? gramme was the recitations by Misses Dulce Moise, Carrie Moses, Claude Girardeau and Col. J. J. Dargan and Dr. G. W. C. Dick, all Df whom without the least flattery acquitted ! themselves most admirably. The reading by j Col. D. J. Au*d, Rev. John Kershaw and Mr. ? G. E.

From our little dealing wirb men we have learned to look for them on the side ot? self-interest, and we most assuredly would have looked for thc WuicJiman and Southron some distance from tiie new county mure, and we think you have treated us with som? decree of allowance; but guess friend Bowman's head is leve!, and trust he may soon realize his expectations ?n the form of a new county, but if realized we bespeak a good macy "bear-cases." Since the farmer move is being agitated again we gu<-=3 it will not be out of place for us to express our op!aloa. There seems to be iittie interest manifested here on the subject. We can't see why, in this ~ge cf co-operation in every department of labor, tile farmer should not organize, in fact we deem it his imperative duty to himself, to his Cod, and to his country. We don't think any one will gainsay that the farmer as a class, is the poorest, most ignorant, and the most honest (ministers of the Gospel not included.) He deserves credit for the lust but censure for the former two. Tis irUe tte is not subjected to the temptation, and is deprived of the imme? diate advantages of mental improvement open to other callings, yet he may lay the whole blame or a greater part of ii at his own door. In his listless, inattentive, non-observinsr. F'0 easy way he dees not seize upon the educators that are iu his power, such as newspapers, (the great educators of the times,) agricultura! and otherwise, holding meetings to discuss subjects appertaining to the farmer, etc We ueed thinking farmers and we know of no better way of a* ?sing thought among farm? ers, even the most phlegmatic, than by or? ganized effort, holding informal township and neighborhood meetings, not yearly, but monthly or oftener, to discusss subjects of special interest at the time. This would not only arouse interest and thought, but tend to beget that magnanimity of spirit, human feel? ing and charity towards each other that was intended from the first. Such principles should occupy the thoughts of all thinking men at present, when in our strides for the "almighty dollar" we are too prone to forget other's feelings. Tn advocating the farmers' organization we do not .approve appealing to the lower principles of man, neither do we see that the advocated agricultural^ college will be of greatest benefit to the farmer as a whole, j Suppose it is established, how many of our farmer boys or their parents are able to pay even their board at such an institution ? Most of our farmer boys when at the proper age to attend such an institution are ;.ut between tlie plow handles or stood up by a hoe handle and told to "go," for about six months dur? ing the year, and the rest of the year is squan? dered ic various ways, and, wc are sorry to say, often virtually squandered in our Dis? trict schools. These latter are a fruitful source of poor farmers and blind men. We think the most practical and common sense view would be to. apply the money, at least for the present, to be used in building and getting in order this agricultural co!!?ge, to employing better teachers for thc rural dis? tricts-teachers who will open the eyes cf their pupils and make them see what is in and around them. We-guarantee a boy with proper academical education will make a good farmer, good merchant, good Mr. Anybody. With our present preparatory schools the use? fulness of an agricultural college would be greatly impaired. "Make a good foundation and the superstructure will stand " Weare sorry to see some of the advocates of this j move attacking our public school system and j its offices; but still this college is to be fitted j up at the expense of the tax-payer. We can't ? see the consistency of this, but guess It de- j pends a great deal upon whose bul! is gored, j A very large number of our citizens attend? ed the State' Fair. We have heard of none being greased as the Enterprise reported one of our citizens being greased in Charleston during rte Gala Week, but we do hear Uni? versal complaint of the boarding houses ''greasing" but sparingly. Miss Nora Rogers, one cf our mo3t charm? ing young ladies, left us cn. last Tuesday to spend a short time in Sumter with the family of Mr. J. H Dixon. From thence she goes to Marion to visit her uncle, Rev. W. A. Rogers. *Jiss'Annie Lucas who has been with us only a short while as teacher in the High School, but bas won many friends, leaves to? morrow for Chesterfield to attend the mar? riage of Miss Lizzie Craig to Mr. E. Malloy on Thursday. Miss Craig taught for two j years in this County, and her many friends I will be delighted to hear of her auticipated i bliss. We see no signs of small grain yet, though farmers have gathered aboot all the fall crops, j Mr. A. C. Durant is placing the frame for i his handsome dwelling on the opposite side of the street from the one he has just completed. Cotton sold readily on Friday and Saturday ? at from 0 to 9.40.

Owing to favorable advices, together with the presence of a Wilmington cottton buyer. ! our market has been somewhat animated the I past week. We report sales of some 30 or j more bales on 9th instant, prices ranging any- ; where from 3 3-1003 9-10. Since then the j market has ruled quiet, exceedingly quiet- j the cotton being all gone. Sellers are *xiso j very quiet, and (we suspect somewhat) de- j pressed. The buyer is gone too, and we judge j he is animated, f?e seemed to be fruits ani- . mated while here. We know we should feel ! more animated if we had bought a lot of cot- ! ton and had realized a rise of CO cents per hundred lbs. in 3 days, butsuch realizes don't somehow ever reach the farmer. The crop in j sight at this date is- scattering, very j scattering. The eottofc mentioned above does'tit, by I a^.y means, comprise al! that was sold to ' * " j this buyer within the bounds of this town- 1 ship. We consider the fact of a cotton buyer I coming to the farmer as a huge sign of an ; improved condition of thing.* and hope it is j only the beginning cf the time when ;he farm- j er will have all his cotton sampled at his own gin, weighed on his scales, and bought from j his own yard, and with some say as to price. It is ic his own hands to force that condition without any detriment whatever to our home merchants; bet the farmer's factor m*y say my "occupation's gone," and it wiil be a blessed say for the farmer. This cotton buysr, as we've said, hails from Wilmington, and we'll venture to say has bought several thousand bales iii the County ; al! shipped to j Wilmington, of course. The prices paid were ! fair, and weights satisfactory. If Charles I ton's enterprise doesn't reach to the extent of a little competition in this matter she can thank herself for the results We must con? fess -to some amusement al one of the argu? ments given in the "Reply" to the "Indict? ment" by a Sumter correspondent in tile Neics and Courier, as to - the reasons why shipments of cotton to Charleston had fallen off, which was, that Sumter Merchants and others were paying a higher price than was warranted by the Charleston prices. Well, so far a3 the farmer is concerned, de'il a bit : do we care what the Charleston DI ice may be i so long as the home price is satisfactory and no commission and oilier riggers to pay, and j so far as our merchants are concerned our observation leads to the decided opinion that they are amply abie to look out for themselves, and that's just what Charleston had best du. in spite of drought, fcc, the cora crop seems to be very good. The only fault we have to find, is there S not small nubbins enough to feed the shoats on ; but then we can't ezpect to have perfect seasons, and in j the long run we don't know if the nubbins afe any: great loss any way; only we don't i like tc throw pearls, in the shape of oig ears, j before swine, (some of our swines ea-s are too j big now.) Wc love to shuck out Corn and hear it rumble in the horse trough, we like to i list?n to the plough stock and the hogs as i they crunch it from the cob; but we do I despise that kind.of com thai we must din ; with a toll dish from a darned Sack, and i dam-damaged at that, and thai we b?ndle j like small change. We never did see any J thing get fat on such corn. Djd you ever ; no tief that cobs and shucks and hogs hair I Were mighty lucky signs about a farm ? We . have, and we believe in 'em too, and the more j cobs and hair, tlie better (he-sign. "vVhcre i ever you see them you'll find a big barre! set I ?lantinwise in the ground. It's a pood sign j too, so's a big churn and fowl feathers, in 1 tact we've noticed many signs where the farm ' er seemed to be in luck aud we've had n notion j bf patenting them andseliing 'em around, for j many places need there lucky signs. All the banks .-.round cur town have been ! dosed. This ii not because any one has ru ti j off with the capita! or d^'OiSl?. Tbedeposits ! are all safe and sound, at least they are sound i now. We don't have any dratted bank oili I cer to "cook" statements, then pee! and skip, j '.Ve do our own cooking of our ba- k matins j (we like ours baked,) and each one peels for j himself; for the only "futures" we deal in j are the big licks we intend to strike I rc-xt year. The potato crop is not large, j neither ate the "taters;" but we'll bet a cent j and a half again?t a dollar and a half that j our neighbor. Middleton A merson, h'ss'ii't ? failed in making a crop. He never fails, and i makes from five to eight hundred bushels. I Wc. ec ant.-d 1 . h?<?p banks at hi? pince Inst i winter, and he claims 50 bushels to the bank. When .\sked by ?; neighbor to tell him how j.to make potatoes ins answer was ''Work !'cm!" This lecture on the cultivation of the ; sweet potato, for pith and point, can't be ! beat by any elaborate esspy from '.he State ' Agricultural Association, j The Piedmont Exposition is of the past, so ! is grda week, and the Fair i? over, and thc cotton is about done, and every thing else is pretty much lan now, rtnd will be so for a i ?bet. This ought really to bs a comparative j resting season for mind and body ; bu? really i the poor farmer is sometimes more worried I how than in the midst of the work season, j The resort is he dot's know how to work Iiis i crop, but he don't know how ty work his debts, and the consequence is they work him nearly to death. The country is improving. however, without doubt, and it wont be lons before the theory of "the survival of the fittest" will be [?roven in farmiug. We hope the survival may iuclude Guv. BLOOD POISON. Three years figo I contracted a blood poison. I applied to a physician at otice and his treat j ment came near killing me. I employed an old physician and then went to Ky. 1 then went to Hot Springs and remained two j months, but nothing seemed to cure me per-j manent!y. although temporary relief was j given me. My condition gew desperate r.nd i 1 applied to .1 i'.oted quack, bot 1 did not im- j prove. I then used a preparation which was prescribed ''gratis,-' but it contained too much alcohol and aggravated my sufferings. I then placed myself under the treatment of a noted Nashville physician and for a time was benefit ted, hut by [all I returned home a ruined man physically ami financially, with but little prospects of ever getting well. My money beinr- exhausted. I did not know what to do. In May. 1885, my mother persuaded me to get a bottle of 13. B. B. (made in At? lanta) and I did SO to gratify her, but to my utter astonishment I had not finished the first bottle before every ulcer had been healed. To the present ti tue I have used five bottles and have received rno~e benefit than from all the rest combined ; and I arn satisfied that B B. B. is the most wonderful f lood purifier ever before known, and 1 urge all afflicted youncr men to try o::e single bottle and be con vi riced. I can truly say I think it the best medicine in the world. Z. T. HALLERTON. Macon, 'Ga.. May 1, 13S5.
