Orangcburg County can boast Of one of
tie finest Fair buildings that there is in
this State, md she can also boast Of rs fine
set Of people 10 take care of il MS this
country affords. 1t is situated on the new
street and is handsome and imposing in ap
pearance. To the untiring perseverance Of

C:pt. F. II. ". Briggmnnn, Capt. Jacob G.
Wannamakcr, Capt. Morgan ]. Keller, and

magnificent honor to Ornngcburg County.
We took n hasty walk through the
grounds on Wednesday last, and were
plensingly struck with the grand appear
ancc Of everything. The first real nice
sight that our eyes fcnstcd upon was the
entry of the band wagon, followed by
faundrtn Of knights. AT 10 o'clock the
riding commenced, aud ii was good. The
gallant riders displayed remarkable skill in
horsemanship, and many tender eye
watched with love tho flying form (ovcr the
t,acD of her Lrdrc ideal onc Hearts beat
quick and fast during the Tournament.
Mr.. J. G. Vosc directed the affair." and well
did he ncquit himself. Mr. Sally got the
first prize and crowned tho lady which was
the most worthy.
The fact of it is, the Tournament was II
.,ltndid succcss. Never did we sec better
l,ck;rg men. The costume of each Knight
ives uncxccl tional in taste, and the beam
ing eyes ofthc maidcns who gazcdupon the
array If manhood there exhibited, never
81 arklcd MS brightly before.
On Thursday game of Base Ball was
llnyc between the Orange Club of this
place ind Palmetto State Club of Eranch-
vile. The game stood Orange &C. ra!mct-
EOS 33.
In The Fair building could be seen some
with the chastc and modest matrons and
daughters Of Orangcburg County and the
hnndi work of themselves OF course all
that shines is not gold, but we think that
the Target portion of the people at the Fair
were made of thc rurcst material. And MS
TO the articles On exhibition nothing else
could Is Eria bui ina. they evidenced the
industry, taste and. zeal of the people who
make up our home.
We saw fine buggy good busgy-madc
ty man who never learnt the trade.
And wc saw many other things of beauty
hut tho limit of our space prevents us from
giving full and free account of the sue
,,.s of Ornngehurg's good citizens. We
will do so next week.
