Owing to the inclement weather last Fri? day it was impossible to carry out the pro? gramme arranged for memorial exercises in honor of the Confederate dead. The decoration committee and flower girl3 assembled at Armory Hall at four o'clock, hut were prevented from going to the ceme? tary and placing the doral tributes on the graves ot the departed heroes who lie there, by the heavy rain which continued through? out the afternoon. Late in the afternoon, however, the committee went to the cemetery in carriages, carrying the flowers, and decor? ated the graTes Gen. Moise could not deliver the address on the Monumental Square as announced, but it is suggested now that the committee select a date and request Gen. Moise to deliver the address, as it would be a pity for the com? munity to be deprived of the pleasure of hearing the tribute prepared by so eloquent an oratorand true a soldier as Gen. Moise. In a few more years tbere will be oooe of the heroes of the lost cause left to eulogise the virtaes and heroism of comrades who laid down ?b*?ir lives for a cause that was just, though not crowned with success.

On Monday morning cot? ton appeared as if it was killed, but it bas 6ince revived. A number of farmers told the writer on Monday that the cotton was killed, but they had taken counsel of their fears. It will be several days before the cot? ton recovers from the back-set, but very little of it ?3 dead. Killed by Lightning. During the thunder storm on last Friday afternoon Isaac Bullock, colored and three others sought shelter from the rata under the eaves of a barn on Mr. H. Harby's place at First Mill (tbe old Bradford Mill), and while standing there, lightning struck the barn. ! Bullock, who was leaning against the door of j the barn was killed instantly and the others j received a severe shock. It was, found that the lightning struck the gable of the building and ran down until it reached the door, where it divided, a part following each door post to the ground. As Bullock's back wa3 ! Hgainst one post he received the full force of i half the electric discharge. The escape of'the others is due to the fact that they were stand? ing a few feet from the building and not in contact with it. Storm in Privateer.

The fall of rain was extremely heavy and the wind did consideran le damage A tobacco barn on the pince of Mr. Ingram WHS blown down and completely destroyed by a tornado that is described as dipping down and rising again. Wherever the tornado struck the ground everything of a movable character was wreck sd. Un the same day the rainfall was heavy -,n all parts of Sumter County and throughout : the greater part of the State as well. One of the best evidences that Ayer's Hai Vigor is an article of exceptional merit is thr fact that the demand for it is constantly in* creasiog. No one who uses this incompara ble dressing thinks of trying any other pre? paration for the hair. The Female Suffragists.

Bacon's inimitable style which is i so well known to his many readers is carried into tics lecture It is huhbling over with j fun, contains much mellow philosophy, pr?t- ? ty description and information. Col Bacon has that rare ability of ob-i serving and p'ueking unique things that go j to ranke np descriptions of such things and j give impressions. His selection of these out \ of his memory of the ante-bellum days gi^rs j a most interesting picture of these times, so j distinctly different fi om the present. Hie j excellent playing of old-Mme music was an epecially plea?ing feature. Col. Bacon ! may expect to see bis lecture gain gre&t pop- j ularity. The audience was large r ~ a lecture in j Augusta and it was euthnsiaa. . Col.
