Flour. 1t is as good as the best, and only
So per barrel.
The Hon. F. A. Sawyer will please accept
our thanks for copy Of the speech Of Hon
Justin S. Morrill,, of Vermont, on Protec
tive Tariff OF Free Trade.
The Templeton' s with the talented Yane
sisters, will perform here on Thursday eve
ming, the 3D., inst. This troupe have per.
formed with great eelat before many Of the
most critical audiences of the South.
PRETTY GooD.-Mr. Walter Counts laid
on our table last Friday, stalk Of cotton,
grown in 35 acre field, on the Ruff planta-
ton in Dutch fork, which had or it five dis
tinct shapes The stalk was twelve inches
high. We call this pretty good.
AT New YORK CosT.-Perhaps no more
interesting combination of words can be pre-
sented to the public mind than these four
at New York cost! And when the ladies
discover that the articles offered at such fay
orable terms pertain to their wear they will
be more than pleased. Messrs. Carwile &
Mclaughlin make the announcement to
which reference is made, and to their card
we invite attention.
PERrUMERY.-We have received from
DR.. Pratt samples of pcrfumery, bay rum,
&C., which are of exceeding richness aud
delicacy Of favor. The bay rum has deli
cious purgency, and used in the toilet, leaves
a most soothing and grareful sense of re-
freshins. The colognes almost equal Lubin's
extracts: they arc superior. These prepa-
rations are gotten up by DR.. Pratt and his
assistant, Mr.. Graham.
GooD SEAsoN.-S:nce our last issue We
have been blessed with fine showers of rain
sufficient to make, in farmers phrase, good
season, and vegetation is growing off splen>
didly. It cane in the nick of time and fell in
long and gentle showers, and was just the
kind of rain that ills the heart with joy when
the ground is hard and packed and the crops
almost parched. We look forward now to
good crops.
THE MrLITIA-In the division of the
State militia, Ncwbcrry County We see is to
have four companies in the 10th regiment
for the 3rd Brigade. Orangeburg and Lex
ington counties will furnish respectively,
the one 4, and the other 2 of the number re-
qu;rcd TO make this regiment. There will be
two div;s' ons Of the militia, the lst and Cd
Congr esSional Districts will constitute the lst,
and the 3rd aud 4th Districts the I'd diyis.

G. & c. R. r. ITEMS. A Sunday train is
now run between Columbia and Helena
Mr.. C. Barnum has been appointed Agent
of the road in Columbia.
Active steps are being taken to place the
road in good running order, preparatory to
the change in Schedule when the round trip
will be made in day. This desirable change,
together with line of telegraph, which it is
said the new company are to push forward
soon, will make the G.. & C. r. R. first
class road.
Mr.. Paul C. Trenholm, agent of the Balti-
more line OF steamships. will accept our
thanks for the courteous offer extended, and
to Capt Dutton also do we return felicitous
acknowledgment for a like compliment. Per-
haps we will be permitted to getup from these
inland parts and 80 down to the sea in ship
one of these days, and then if there be not
too much swell on old ocean, will sing of "the
sea, the sea, the deep blue sea-" If the re-
verse, may be tbere'll be no singing; we have
SEEN people on the sea, who had no stomach
for singing, and we did not blame them q
bit, having felt the same thing.
WHO is TO BLANE.-Complaints are made
by business men in Newberry that letters are
received by them frequently which have been
opened. A lady also states that she sent o
letter enclosed in plain envelope containing
photograph to an elderly lady friend, and
that when her friend received it a fancy en-
velope covered the same. This would not
have been discovered, but that the recipient
Of the photograph expressed surprise in an
swer, that such q staid, substantial, ,and here
tofore undemonStratlve lady, should now in
dulge in elaborately fanciful letter coverings. |
Who commits these pranks, and what is the |
design. Are they looking for filthy lucre?
