demonstration, no drums beat, no popping
OF muskcts, no speeches, OF other evidences
of the old-time honored anniversary, marked
the day.
.Corros BoLls We have been: shown {
couple of cotton bollS, abont the size of blue
bird eggs, or one and half inches in cir
cumference, from the plantation of Mrs. Lu

seen.
PERsoNAL.-We are pleased to announce
the return of OR townsman. Maj. c. II. Su
Der, called hence by the h. X. Investigating
Committee. The Major says the Committee
are not making any wonderful progress, and
he thinks the whole wretcdcd affair cost:
more than it is worth.
The CRoPs.-We are pleased to continue
a favorable report as to the condition o
the crops. Never was there better pros
pect. An easy. time is anticipated this fall
Mr.. A. will be able to pay Mr.. B., and 3. c.
and so on down the whole alphabet. Money
is tight now, but then it will be as easy a:
an old shoe.
SALE-DAV.-Judging by the scarcity o
persons from the country one would hardly
realize that last Monday was Sale-day. Tho
extreme heat. together with the fuc rain
seasons lately experienced, in consequence
of which grass is growing vigorously, is nc
doubt the reason why SO few persons " ere in
town. There were no Sheriff sales either
which may be assigned as another reason
The only property: sold was the old Newberry
Banking House, which brought,six thousand
dollars, the bid Mr.. Newton Martins.
NICE PResHSr.-To our surprise. and dc,
Light, basket of delicious Strawberries, large
and succulent. was laid on our table on

turc Of this delicious fruit, together with
grapes, &C., and will this fall have plants to
dispose Of lie tells US that the variety of
strawberries now under notice are bearing
ab1ndanty in spite Of the advanced season.
1t certainly is valuable one.
The CuURcH.-Rev. Dr.. Williams OF
Greenville, began a protracted meeting at
the Baptist Church Monday of last week,
and the meeting continues. 4 series OF very
earnest and instructive sermons have been
preached.
Rev. Or. Adger of Columbia held Divine
Service at Aveleigh Church during the close
of last week, and on Sunday when the Sacra.
ment was administered i, the close Of morn
ing services.
AND STILL ASoTAER.-What We would DO
but for Mr.. C. F. Jackson of Columbia, II is i'm
possible to conjecture. lie keeps Us. constantly
supplied.in c,Tvats, ard could We find ns many
places for this indispensable neck requisite, as
the flcetious Mark Train iouGd on his dwelling
house for lightning rods. jackson would make US
happy BY filing them ali Hsppy local, sp!en-
did Jackson The last ersvat was bestowed on
the 2otliult, and in so de!iegte manner, We had
notthe heart to object; We wouid take MoHE'a-
ther than wound J4cksous feelings. indeed VIC
would. If the style shall ever be sans crnYat, we
wonder how he will manifest his affection, or
show hisnppreci6tiou Of cur: merits. Zone might
suppose Jackson deals excusirGlx u nt ek ties,
but not so, be has store full CT dry goods and
fancy articles, and does large business.

whatever may be at hand' :,

Is THERE a DIFFERENCE? p Observation
and experience forces the conviction iu spite
Of our better judgment, that Sunday rains
are more penetrating and hard to endure
than the rain on any other day in the week.
1t matters not whether it fall on Monday or
Saturday, or any day between, or how hard
or heavy, business and pleasure is faithfully
attended to, but let it come on the Sabbath
morn, and let it full never so gently, it is
at once settled that it will never do to ven
ture out. If the sky be even only clouded,
with the promise of a shower, the necessity
of keeping indoors and thus avoiding sup
posed danger, is apparent to many. On Sun.
day last there was slight shower, such an

true TO past experience, the schools and
churches were nearly empty. Is there diff
ference in one days rain from another? Will
some ono tell us wherein it consists? Per.
haps it may be found in this, that the. dress,

The S1AR TEoUPG.-Our native artists
gave another OF their inimitablc, heart-warm.

tainments on Monday night last, and to a
full house, and thelr.programnic was carried
out to the last syllable, to the intense delight
OF the audience, WHO manifested their pleas
ure in continued rounds of applause. We
would like to notice the acting of each indi:
vidual member, but space forbids. Prince

exception however. This was his second
appearance, and though he had forgotten
