direct attention to the advertisement in

legcs o! the land. 1t has been steadily
growing in popular favor during the
past sixteen years of its existence, and
year after year presents new claims to

GREENWOOD AND AUGUSTA RAIL-
RoAD.-A writer in the Angustu COnsti-
tutiona1ist urges upon the people of that
city the building Of this road as q means
of thanking the Spartanburg and Ash
Vile connection with Charleston:
TO build this road to Greenwood it
will cost about one million dollars. The
city of Augusta can afford to give half
this sum, and never feel it. The shares
are only $40 each. Let every man take
as many as lie can. He will not have to
pay in more than five per cent a month.
Any man who has house and lot worth
$500 can we'll afford to subscribe $50,
and so on in proportion. The house and
lot, worth $500 to-day, will be worth
81 900 long before the Greenwood and
Augusta Railroad is finished.

to remind our farmers that now is the

mence to SOW turnips, for they all know
it; but we would advise them to SOW q
larger area than they have sown in tho
past, for there is nothing so valuable fol
man or beast in the winter. Give your
attention to your Turnip crop and have
plenty them in the winter. Parker

DEATH or MES. NANCY JANE BON-
JE,-Wc regret TO announce the death
Of this cstimablc lady, Il. the residence
of her brother, Mr.. James Strain, al
Air Mount, Miss, OIL the %9th July, in
the ---- year Of her age. She had
been in feeble health for some time past,
but sank rapidly short time previous
to her death. Born and reared in this
community, she married in carly life
the late VIM. Bowie, and after his death
spent the years of her long widowhood,
in devoted attention to the education
and comfort of hcr children, of whom
only one now survives her, Robert f.
Bowie. Esq, late a member o: the Ab-
bcvillc Bar. She was for many years "a
member oflhc Presbyterian Church, and
possessed in high measure allIthe graccs
which adorn the Christian character.
In all the relations of life aswife, moth
er, and friend, she eXhibitedSa an eXaln-
pie worthy Of all imitation, and display
ed those qualities of mind and heart
which cndeared her to wide circle of
friends. This community where she
was best known and appreciated, will
long cherish her memory, and hold in
remembrance the lessons OF her inspi-
ring example.

We clip the following from the ANaa,
td Herald:
Andrew Johnson, four years ago, said
of Brownlow: death has already laid
his icy fingers upon you! And yet you
sit, poor, galvanized corpse. and laugh
in the face of the king Of terrorist" And
now the shrivcled parson, in tolerablt
good shape, sits and listens at the clods
as they fall OH Andy's coffin.
Big N1eGER OF TENNEssEE.-Gen
Bedford n. Forrest, of Memphis, is now
the biggest free nigger in Tennessee
A negro girl presented him with boquet
at a negro Fourh of July celebration, tc
which he said in reply: I accept il
particularly because it comes from a col
ored lady, for If there is any one on
Gods earth who loves the ladies, it is
myself.
AS it has become quite popular in these
days Of Journalistic enterprise for pub
fishers to give away their paper for tho
biggest "something," we have conclu.
dcd to offer our paper one year free tc
| the party furnishing us with the best
milch COW. This proposition will stand
open for six MONTHS williamsburg he
pteo'tblt''
Ifany one wishes to grow 1eshy, q
pint of milk taken before retiring at
night will cover the scrawnjcst bones
/ 1t is a great mistake to scrmp the milk
pitcher. Take more milk and buy less
meat. Have largesized, and wellfillcd
milk pitchers on the table each meal
and you will also have sound flesh and
| light doctors bills.
The reports from all sections Of the
/ country give avery discouraging account
Of the crops. While the cotton region
in the South is suffering from u aprotractcd
drought. the grain fields of the West are
we'll nigh hclugcd with rains and floods.
The crop prospect, which two monts ago
was so promising, is now dismal enough.
The wrapping Of the body Of Andrew
johnson in an American flag, and the
placing Of the Constitution Of the Uni
ted States in his dead hand, strikes us as
Il solemn mockcry. What sort of tog-
cory is that to enter Heaven in?-Au-
