In our last issue we remarked that
there were two Of our cnterprising
merchants who had started five cents
counters. We we're mistaken in this,
rs Mr.. G. ID: Kor'john is the first
and only one who has this rcmarka-
bic feature attached To lis business.
1t is astonishing the many valuable
and useful articles found on his
counter at niclilc. His place has
been largely patronizcd Tie past
week in consequence Of it. His
store seems always full Of customers
and his assistants busy. He has lots
of goods on his shelves just rs rea-
sonahlc rs those on his cheap coun.
ter, and still they come. Our idea,
from personal observation, is that
friend Kortohn will have to enlarge
his store to keep up with his incrcas-
ing business.

WE have been panied to learn just
as we are preparing togo to press of
the death Of tho little babe of Mr..
and Mrs. Il. G.. Hubble which occurr-
red ct pn early hour on Thursday
morning. A severe, and oftcntimcs
painful, illness Of more than o month
wasted the little one away, and final
ly changed it 10 an angel Of light to
minister about the pathway OF the
dear ones Left behind it. Our sym
pathies are rendered to the parents
with the hope that they may look
upon this, bereavement as an afflic.
lion OF love from Him who loves
more than our earthly parents.

Tie excursion given by Capt. j. L.
Foster, Of the steamer. Louisa, on the
Santee River last Tuesday we learn,
from q gentleman who was aboard,
was q complete success. The steam
or started from Prospect Landing
amid the booming Of cannon and the
shrek Of the whistle, proceeding to
Waco where the party was largely in
creased, thence to Pinkncy's where a
further increase was made until those
on board numbered more than Two
hundred persons. The steamer at
this point turned down the stream and
went rs far as Maricn's Point. This
spot was pointed out by Capt. Foster
as the place where General Marion
and his men used to cross the river
in the days Of the Revolution. The
course was then headed up stream
again until Davis Landing was
reached. Here all went ashore and
gathered around n splendid feast
spread beneath The shade of the trees.
At four o'clock the party again went
aboard and were soon landed safely
at their respective landings. An i'm
mcnse quantity of lemonade, ict
cream, Yqordials, lager beer, &C., wa:
on board and Capt. Foster was .trul,
overwhelming in his hospitality anG
attention. Everyone enjoyed himself
finely and The day will long be re
membered by ail the participants
The DEMOCRAT was invited to joir
the excursion, but we could not &C
on account Of an engagement else
where.
