COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. EDITOR Our County Fair has
been held under very unfavorable cir
cumstances; cotton at 123 cents, and go
ing, going down, every ono looking blue.
Well, our Fair opened on the 2Sth of
October, witha splendid exhibition in all
departments, (thirtecn in number.) Our
building giving 160 feet by 45, crowded
to the utmost; not a foot left vacant; our
stables with 38 stalls all filled; our cattle,
sheep and hog pens, ditto. On Wednes-
day OF least $500 persons were on the
grounds, and it is understood that a very
hanilsoms surplus was left, after paying
the,expenses Of the Fair proper. Is this
not sglofy enough for Orangeburg for
once7 / think it is, and that it only
demonstrate to us what we can do. From
all the information gathered, am of the
opinion that our Orangeburg Fair beat
every CoqntyFafr in the State. be-
lieve we can and will do it again. We
have the material, it only needs working
up Werk,it We must, to make Orange
burg the model County of this State.
To the Farmers and Mechanics I
would say step to the front-prepare for
the Fair of 1874; leave nothing uudone
that is calculated to add to the interest,
honor and credit of our county. Who
amongst US is there who has no pride of
County, no love Of home? If there be
such, I would apply to him the language
of Sir Walter Scott, in his clay of the
Last Minstrel :"
"Breathes there the man with soul SO dead.
Who never to himself hath said
This Is my own, my native land?
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned,
i. AS home his footsteps he hath turned,
From wandering over foreign srand2
II such there breathe, go, mark him well
For him no minstrel raptures swell
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundess his wealth rs wish can chain,
Despite these titles, power and pelf,
The wretch concentrated all in self;
Living, shall forfeit fair renown;
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored, and unsung."

Tho magnets in the Nonparcl Telegraph in
struments are made of different rCSistanceS
aud they are furnished to work lines up to
five miles in length.
Persons ordering instruments to operate

existed AMI has constantly crown more lr-
gent As the telegraph has come into more
general use the desire to became familiar
with its operation has also increased. The
low uricc at which the Nonpariel is furnished
makes it no exaggeration to say that this
knowledge may bcacquired by its use ut less
than one fourth of what it would otherwise
cost. 1t also furnishes very interesting
study and practice for Young men and young
ladies' for the long Winter evenings.

tertaning as means OF establishing conmu-
nication between the apartments and houses
of friends or relatives. and between places of
business and residences.
A wire may berun at a very small expense,
and thus not only can reliable and instanta-

UNpALsTABLE MEDICINES. Here are
some directions said to be worth know
ing about taking unpalatable medicines:
TO swallow pill, place it under the
tip OF the tongue and take drink of
water. The biggest bolus will go down
almost without your knowing it. The
taste left in the mouth after taking
such bitter medicines as quinine, aloes,
nux-vomica, etc., is instantly neutral
lied by chewing piece of liquorice
root.

How TO BLEACH CoTToS CLoTH.-
1t may sometimes become necessary or
convenient to bleach a piece of cotton
cloth, although as a general thing it is
better to obtain white cloth already
bleached. HON e-bleaching, moreover,
is apt to injure the fabric more than the
process in use at the factories, especially
when manipulated. as it always is there,
by skilled hands. However, cloth may
be bleached as follows:
To five pounds of cloth take twelve
ounces of chloride of lime. Dissolve
the lime in a small quantity of water to
cover the cloth. This must first be
boiled fifteen minutes in strong soap
suds, and rinsed we'll in cold water.
Then pu. it in the limewater from ten
to twenty minutes; airing it we'll by
lifting up and down. Rinse thor
oughly in warm or cold water.

MAKING FAT Persons LEAN.--Drink
only water, or for change, water with
a little vinegar; no beer, or any malt
liquors; no wine, soup, broth, milk and
especially no sugar or starchy prepare
tons; no fine flour, no fat meat, no but
ter, no cheese, no sweetmeats. Now
We expect you will ask, what is left for
them to eat? We answer plenty of
fresh fruit and green vegetables, es-
pecially salads, bread of unbolted -four
without yeast, and no animal food ex-
cept lean meat, smoked beat, tongue,
etc. AS carnivorous animals are never
fat, it proves that starchy food is the
main enemy to be avoided.

MAcARoNI SouP.-Put into a stew

quarts of clear gravy soup. Let it SIM
mer for ten minutes, taking care that
the macaroni does not burst OF become
a pulp; it will then be ready to serve
up. 1t should be sent to table with
