markets offered, and its Waters attentive.
Visitors to Columbia will always find them
selves at home there.
The following Items, which will prove Of
interest to our lady readers, we find in our
exchanges:
Coffee and frui. s.ains, on linen and white
clothes, will be set, rather than removed. by
soap, if put into the suds with the stains on
them. They should be first put into boiling
water, and kept there until the water becomes
cold and then put into suds.
To remove ink spots, put the article stained
| over a warm dat-iron, stretch it well, then
squeeze few drops Of lemon juice on it, and
the spot will disappear at once. Wash i'm
media,cly in cold water.

COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT AT Due WEST.
-[be enterprising superintendent of the G.
& c. r. r. has reduced the fare from all Sta
tions to Donalds, for the above occasion,
which comes off on the 18th and 18th July
prox. Sale of tickets 10 commence on the
9th and continue to the 11th, and privilege of
returning TO the 15'h.
During the Summer season, and indeed at
all seasons, when fairs, festivals, commence
ments, &C., secure this favor Of one fare,
might it not be we'll to extend the privilege
to all stations over the road, from one end Of
the line to the other? The many good re-
suits would be mutual.
Among our new advertisements this week
will be found one from Mr.. Henry L. A.
Balk, of Augusta, the following notice of
whom we copy from the Augusta Chronicle
& Sentinel:
IMPROVEMENT on BROAD STREEr.-M..
H. L. 4. Balk, one Of our most enserpriSlng
| dry goods merchants, has recently had his
storc-No. 172 Broad street. near Washing
ton street. greatly improved, neatly 2pain-
ted and frescoed, and conveniently arranged
| for the accommodation Of his patrons and
! the display of his handsome stock Of goods.
! By ndonitobie energy and perseverance,
| and strict regard 70 the wants end taste OF
our people, Mr.. Balk has gained for himself
an euviable popularity, and patronage
which enables him to supply the needs Of
his customers at the lowest prices. He has
purchased large stock Of goods in his line
| Of business at q recent decline in prices at
the North, by reason Of which he Is able to
offer great bargains to purchasers. Ladies
and buyers generally are invited to cal! and
examine bis stock.
RAIN, &c.-A modest little shower Of rain
fell last Sunday afternoon, which settled the
Gust and cooled the atmosphere. On Monday
afternoon a more generous shower came
down, which is an earnest, we hope, that we
are to have glorious season for the fruits of
the earth. Vegetation looks charming to-
| day, and as the honored O'Nesll, in his an
nails of Eewlerry, says that she is the garden
! spot of the State, we are almost persuaded
that she will be the banner district for the
year 1871. The yield Of wheat is abou. half
a crop. The oat crop very dne. More corn
has been planted than at any previous sear
son since the war, aud it is very promising.
| Cotton looks we'll. The fruit crop will be
superintendent. In q word. rain has been
general over the district, and, agslculturally,
ttttiags" ere encouraging.
4 SUGGESTION Why is It that our citi-
zens may not organize clubs, for the pur
chase of tickets in the great Land and Immi-
grafton scheme of A1essrs. Butler, Chadwick
& Gary, the drawing Of which takes place in
October rexs. 4 club Of ten for instance
would purchase ten tickets, and the holder Of
one Of the ten, would be entitled to proper
:ioua;e share Of all the prizes that might be
| drawn. Thus. twenty-five dollars invested
n five Clubs of ten persons each. would Sc
cure to each person fifty chances to win a
priz- instead of five chances, or ia the pros
portion OF Ten TO one. Tie grand idea is to
win something, and that which diminisbes
risk Will of course be the most popular
| scheme. If our ladies especially will under
. take the formation of these Clubs among
their friends and neigbbors, good luck will
be sure 10 look in on some Of them.
