CAPT. J. n. COCHRAN was in Colum'
bia buying a new gin preparatory tc
starting the steam gin of Messrs. Con-
nor, Cochran Il Co., at Hodges. This
looks like life. They will start theil
machinery in about two weeks from the
time the old machinery was burnt.
MIR. MILLER, the life insurance agent
was all about the Fair. He is 50 goo.
natured, and took our hard words about
life insurance in such good humored
way, that we are almost tempted to tell
our people If they are obliged to have
insurance to call on him.
We met our friend, Richard G. Watts,
Esq, of Laurens, who has made him.
self famous on account Of his divorce
which he put through at Laurens. He
desires us to say that the divorce he OBJ
tanned was for his client not for himself.
Will the ladies remember this?
THERE was only one horse race at the
State Fair for purse that was made up
for the occasion. When the riding is
restored we expect to sec large crowds
in attendance. We want Fairs once a
year to give faint-hearted bachelors a
chance to meet the divinities.

ladies at the Undergraduates of the Fe-
male College at Due West. We have
never before seen as large number OF

rians outside of Abbeville.
MIR. r. o. McADAMs, of Antreviile,
fails to see the fairness of the Governor
receiving complimentary ticket to the
State Fair, while the backwoodsman has
to pay. He don't see any difference in
half dollars.
THE Junior has not yet induced any
sweet spirit to hear his prayer, and he
fears his hopes of securing an attentive
ear is forever dispelled, since he has

genial friend Charles P, Pelham, Esq,
If the Columbia Register. His humor
and cordial manner are always admired.
He has hosts Of friends in Abbeville.
WE had the pleasure of meeting Col.
l.. d. Childs, banker, of Columbia.
He is a thoroughly reliable business
man, and our people would do we'll to
put their business in his bank.

berry, was on the grounds doing him
self good. There are some nice reports
about Mr.. Johnstone which we trust
may be true.

If the Fair Committee had existed
