Coming Events

The inportan: Natienal, State and

cast their shadows before them.
The National contest approaching is a
peculiar and remarkable one. Hitherto
the conte st for the Presidential Chair
has been between the two great rival
and opposing National parties Each of
tho two great parties selected It's own

rather of party dogmas ana doctrines
than Of men. Bat IN the approaching
election, the two opposing candidates
are of the same party. Their great

ImmoveiAaat:: still: the Watch.
word of Orangebnrg!

Orangeburg is ever progressing ever
improving, q always erecting new and
handsoiner- edifees, repairing the waste
PLACES, repexating and preventing the
approach Of dilapidation and decay.
The noise Of the carpenters mems re-
sounds through its ways the work Of
renovation goes on INCREASINGLY. Here
the touch OF the brush, here new
erection, everywhere progress, and LIE,
keeps the. stir and hustle of animation
+" aud .tell9Ae beat of she phss of energy
and enterprise among the improvements
now in RGes.ess, we note the following {:
The Hook and Ladder building is
rapidly approaching completion, and
n handsome ornament Will it be. The
plan, and execution Of this building is
most admirable. 1t is- erected in the
most nos c, approved style of architecture,
and for durability beauty, size aad pro-
portion, and adoptability fer its objects,
it. is 2 model. The hall up stairs will
be- most magnifccn, room, and will
supply. one of the wants of 0rangeburg's
progressive i've. spirit. Here the taste for
public sanusements of chaste aud Gle.
vaiug character will find at once
forum, and convenient arena which will
prove also an encouragement and incen-
tive. Here the public lecturer will find
an index, that his visit will be appre.
ciated, and this beautiful hall will prove
IGs welcome, and guaranty of SUCCESS.
And so with all proper entertainment.
Indirectly and reactively likewise the
tone of public taste will be elevated,
and education and literature will. be dis.
ecmiaated and advanced

The entrance to this hall from below
is very broad and handsome, furnishing
wide invitation to enter and complete
facility for exit. A portion Of the
lower story is to be finished for store,
which will be one of tho largest and
handsomest in town. Altogether the
edifice is chef a'eucrc, and is q strik-
ing monument to the success of that
enterprising aud public spirited organi-
zatiou, "Tho Elliott Hook and Ladder
Company" Let the name of "Elliott"
be inscribed on tho front Of the ediHce,
and let it toll thus to posterity at once
Of the Company and their worthy and
venerable patron We hope that the
Elliosts will have grand "opening"
when their Hall is completed, and that
some Of the orators, for which the gal
liant Company is distinguished, will
favor the public with treat!
Next in the march of progress, is the
enlargement of Mr.. Geo. II. Cornelson's g
store. This merchant stands second to
none in the line Of our large business
men, in enterprise and success. His
very large and well-6l store it scoms
is not large enough for his Increasing
business, and he is extending it to the
rear great distance. May he not fiud
it large enough yet is the best wish we
can think of for him.
Then our old friend 1. p. Thompson
is renovating his store and residence on
Russell Street, which has been worn
away by the tread of his business aud
his hospitality. May his sills wear
away again from like cause, is our
prayer for him.
The Fair "Association come next in
line. This Society is one Of Orange
burg's most encouraging ndictu. Com
posed of the sterling and solid worth of
our country, it has already given an i'm
petus to intelligent agriculture and thus
has blessed all the avenues and currents
of business. The Society Eas purchased
grounds on the line of the Neg Street.
(Which secures this great improvement,
kicked against by the dead sbips of the
town., and are about to erect buildings
for the next Annual Fair. Excelsior T
is the watchword, truly!
Mr.. Louis 1.as repainted his pretty
residence; 5 si y. Alborso,.i 5a, removed m

her determinat ion to grow.

recount the wonderful signs of advance.
