No. 53 on Monday evening wat the Bret train for Charleston Gala Week, with engine No. 122 nod Engineer Jack Nettles, with Capt We:. Webb, master of the punch. The Coast Une is "in it" for Gala Week, and will run some fine trains, using new, large coal burner i Nos. 122, 128 and 135. These are the finest engines that have ever passed Sumter. With each conductors as Messrs. Webb, Oglesby, Gruber, Branson and Herker, and engineers Netties, Hammond, Bissett and Farmer, the Coast Line would be found to have the most efficient men if put to a test. Nine large new coal burners and several fine coaches have lately been added to the rolling stock of the company, and fast time with safety may be expected. Everybody is taking advantage of cheap rates over the "Popolar Route" to Charles ton, and yon are not "in it" if you are not going. Messenger W. W. Gardner who bas been running on No. 58 and 59 for the past year is now on the Charleston and Florence rua. Messenger Bastey, of the Charleston, Colum bia and Clinton Division has taken Gardner's run, and Transfer Clerk, Lanneau, of the Florence office is on No's. 52 and 53. Mr Gardner is a popolar and sociable yoong man and made many friends during bu run to Sa m ter, who will regret very much to know of bis change.

McDonald Forman, Esq., My Dear Sir: I have had my attention called to yours of Sept. 20, to tbe "Post," and in reply will heartily coincide with your implied and expressed friendly sentiments. We have celebrated our "Centennial" by issuing a volume which I send to yoa by an early mail. I fear we cannot carry out your sugges tione, but shall be glad to send onr vol ume to other well wishers to a union of feel ings for our country's welfare, and agricultu ral prosperity if I had a limited ?st of names. Yours very truly, F bas eis H. Applstoh, Trastee and Secreury.

Mr. Editor; We bad concluded not to write any more natii we could see what was going to become of tbe community, or?or? of the bears rather, but as there seems to be a complete cessation of hostilities, we will resome. Tbe stampede caused by tbe "Sing ing Bear," of which we wrote some time ago, must to have frightened off tbe bears, as well as the hunters, as no reports came in. The bulk of the cotton in this section is out and we are abort about 40 per cent, of a fall crop, as near as we can estimate. Corn eros fair. The sogar cane crop is also pretty good. Nearly all of onr farmers in this part of tbe country raise their own syrup, and most of tbem are raising their own meat. Dr. McElveen bas returned from his trip to Aiken, S. C. Tbe doctor not content with his bear adventure, has been off on a deer (dear we guess) bunt, bat was not so sue otosfal as he was with bruin ; at least we bear of no surrender. Mr. W. F. Johnson, our enterprising and go ahead farmer, is having his dwelling re shingled aod remodelled. Our school opened on last Monday noder Mr. T. B. Rhame as principal. Agricola. General Marions Watch. It wat Owned by t?u Ramsey't of thit County? and tvae loti during the war. Mr. Editor : General Francis Marion was the most distinguished of Carolina's Revolu tionary heroes, therefore tbe following state ment about his watch will probably be-of some interest to your readers. The facts which I give were obtained from Mr. M. G. Ramsey, of this township. Mr. Ramsey's father, Mr. Willis Ramsey, Sr., owned this watch, and be received it from the person who traded or sold it to bim with the knowledge that it was tbe watcb that bad belonged to {Saetea! Marion. After Mr. Willis Ramsey's deal a, rhe watch came into poetetsioo of his too, tbe late Mr. Wil liam M. Ramsey, of Middleton (in this coun ty.) During the Confederate war it was se creted with some other things io tbe garden? these things were never recovered, either the y n k ees or tbe negroes got tbem. Tbe wa'ch was a small, single case, silver time-piece. McDonald Forman The Saturday Blade Is the greatest newspaper wonder of tbe age.
