'pANGEBURG, S. g., SEPT, II. 1880.
At the recent municipal election
our ncighbor, Aiken, put into office
compromise ticket composed Of the
old Intendant and three Democratic
and three Republican wardens.
The Democrats and Greenbackers
Of Maine have bull-dozed the Radi-
calls out of that State, in spite Of Jim
Blaine and his bloody shirt. This is
an outrage that should not he tolerat-
ed. "."' "
The water mill and gin Of Mr.. j.
A. Peterkin, near Fort Motto, was
destroyed by fire last week.. About
fifteen bales of cotton were consumed.
The entire loss will not be less than
$4,000. No insurance.
Mr.. B. Frank Slater has returned
from the West and as result of his
visit lot Of fine horses and mules to-
gether with large number Of excel.
lent buggies will arrive next week.
Look out for splendid bargains.

religious services will he held in the
Baptist church, beginning on next
Saturday evening and continuing for
several days. Revs. D. w. Cuttino,
Lampley and others will ofllc: ate.
The public arc invited TO attend.
AS one Of the results of Democrat
ic rule, we notice quite large amount
Of gold coin in circulation. Mer-
chants are paying for cotton in gold
and at no distant day it will he as
common as silver as medium of
trade. More and plenty Of il will make
times better.
WE were glad to meet Mr.. Virgil

We bespeak for the entertainment II
liberal patronage.
WE learn that Mr.. j. G. Pike has
purchased tho Pi.than lot next to Mr..
Reeves drug store. and proposes at
some future day to place valuable

WE regret 20 hear of the death of
Alrs. Adam Fielder which occurred on
Monday evening last of Congestive
chills. Mrs. Fielder was most ex-
cellent lady and manifested to the
world christian character that
adorned her home life as we'll as her
conduct before the public eye. She
leaves u husband, now sick, and little
ones to mourn this the saddest afflic-
tion Of their lives.
THE season for putting in the oat
crop is close at hand and the live far

suitable lands and the best seed.
There is poor success in farming
without heavy oat crop, enough to
feed the stock at least two.thrls of
the year. This will require good lands
and the rust-proof variety and early
