Where Arc You Going To, My
Pretty Maid ?v

"Tm going to Oates, sir, she said"
The popular Music House of Geo. a.
Oates, Augusta-the oldest establishment
of the kind in Georgia or South Carolina
comes TO the front in this weeks Id
Uertiser with very cnnninsly devised
card. in which our old and esteemed
friend, Mr.. Oates, enumerates i'll part
the many advantages he offers to the
public. Mr.. Oates now, as for forty years
past, sells Piano Fortes emanating only
from the very best maliers-Chickering,
Stcinway, Weber, Knabe, Hazelton, &c.,
&c, &c-and sells them as cheap as they
can possibly he bought this side of the
factories And exactly so Of Organs. But
to lie setting forth Mr.. Oates experience
and merits as piano dealer, is really
like treating anew Of one of the lever
lasting hills" Our people know him
well and trust him perfectly. And this
fail, when there is little money to spare,
every ore who wishes piano or an or
gan, will, like the Pretty Maid hic
away to Oates with . ha, ha, ha!'

Will not the cutting off New Lexing-
ton from Aiken for the County Of Butler
make Aiken a Radical county? If so we
shall oppose it. Further, the shape OF
Lexington, according to the boundaries
heretofore proposed is very Objectionable.
We understand that petition against
the new county has been circulated in that
portion of Lexington to be cut off, and
there are about two hundred and fifty
names already signed to it, and it is be-
lieved that three fourths Of those in that
section are opposed to the new county.
The boundaries given by Huiet Town
ship" a correspondent of the Edgefeld
Advertiser, take only narrow strip from
Lexington, if any, and to that there would
be little opposition in this county. We
do not understand whettor this cores
pondent is in favor oi bcth the new coun-
ties of Butler and ety-Six, or whether
be would like them consolidated Leg

ablest papers in tho United States; and
though a Liberia Republican, it proved

JOURNALISM.
BIZ KATE REsEL.

A few Sabbaths since, Talmage
preached ON the subject of the ''News-
paper Profession" He spoke of the
great good they were capable of, if
they were good. and of the great evil,
if they were evil. Another point of
his discourse was that people seldom
appreciate or encourage them.
Now this is only too true. Our pa
pers are the greatest power on earth
for doing good or evil. Preachers
may preach, and lecturers may teach,
but they can only influence one con-
gregation at time, but papers visit
hundreds of places the same day and
SOW their good or bad seed. Talmage
breaches to hundreds on Sunday, but
on Monday he breaches the same dis
course through the columns of the pa
pers, to thousands. Take our papers
out Of the land and what would be-
come of our attempts to advance re-
ligion or morality! And what would

pers werestopped. "Stump speeches
and "button-holing" could never
save them.
Since we know when we stop to
think, how much papers help us, we
ought in turn to help them. This we
can do by speaking well of good pa
pers, encouraging the editor by kind
words, and last, but not least, by sub
seribing for them. Every person thai
wants a paper published in their town
or county, ought to take that paper
They can do this if they are mint
to. Five cents can be saved from this
ten from something else and in very
short time money enough can be saved
to subscribe for six months if not fox
year. And this is not only duty
one owes the paper, but, also, theii
family. One has no more right t.
slave the mind than they have to slav,
the body. 1t is just as hard times TO
editors as for others; these individu
, al subscriptions do not lower one
pocket-book much, but they help tn
editors wonderfully.
