A Good Mechanical Paper.

We are in receipt Of the 'lNechanical
Ners" for December 1st, and are
pleased to say that it is one Of the best
illustrated papers that comes to cur
editorial table. 1t is handsome six
teen-page Journal, with fine original
engravings, and we'll worth the sub
scription price asked for it. On the
first page OF the number before US are
several !ife-liGe pictures, representing
the growing Of grapes and their man
ufacture into wine, rs carried on in
central New York; these pictures are
only one Of a series that have been
given during the past year Of the In
dustrial Manufacturers OF the Country,
and which are to be continued the
coming year. Such enterprise shows
that the publishers Of the ''Nsrs" are
alive to the wants of their readers.
Those of our readers who want q
first-class prcatical mechanical paper,
can hardly do better than subscribe
for the same. Sample copies are fur
nished by the publishers, MessrS. James
Leffel & Co., No. ITO Liberty Street,
New York, on application. Their
subscription terms are One Dollar per
year. They offer good inducements
for those who get up clubs. 49-lt.

Old Face in q New Place.

We clip the following complimentary
notice for the Georgia Clarion. Mr..
Davis was formerly resident Of this
county, and for the last four or five
years had been living in Camilla Ga !:
We learn that cur clever young
townsman, Mr.. D. D. Davis, has de-
cijled to make his native State, South
Carolina, his home for the future, and
has located at I.aurens, G. H., where
he will carry onh his business as ieweler.
1t was hoped by all our best people
that he would return and resume busi-
ness here. His removal is u loss TO
Camilla. Very few business men have
ever made a better record than he.
Beginning under great difficulties he
built up a handsome business in the
short space of two years, and establish
ed himself in the confidence OF the
community by his integrity and indus
try. He understands his business and
sticks to it. And so genial were his
manners and so generous his dispoSi-
ton, that it was pleasure to his Gus
toners to deal with him. Such ener-
getic, plucky, patient and upright bust
ness men are great gain to any CON-
munity. We lose him and old Laurens
gains him.

AmuSementS.

C. II. Bishop, made a big hit in
''Strictly Business" at the OperaHouse,
last night, and gave the audience al
most three hours Of as thorough en-
ioyment as was ever had for the same
amount of money. 1t was the first
presentation Of this comedy in Read
ing, but the audience caught on to it
from the first, and paid Mr.. Bishop the
compliment Of calling him before
the curtain at the end of each act.
The play is a comedy with q touch Of
melodrama. Mr.. Bishop as P. P.
Philkins, is an agent for American
canned goods in Europe, and in pursuit
of his ''strictly business" principles
gets mixed up with the Nihilists Of
Russia and falls into all sorts OF
scrapes, from which he emerges safely
and with credit, astonishing all Europe
by his cheek, and making the audience
shake ut every moment. He was well
supported by Miss Emma Pierce, as
the Countess Ora Oranoff, who is a
talentedactress and 4 beautiful woman.
The piece will belepeated this evening
at the same place, all who saw it will
unEesitatingly recommend it as some
thing too good to miss.-Reading Her

NINE LILLIPUTIAN ACTORS.

the steamer Lessing, which arrived
Thursday from Hamburg, was a

One of the ways that are dark.

A glib tongued agent from New
York, Charleston, Columbia, or even
from Kamkatska, or Van Dieman's
Land, we'll dressed, kid gloyed, and
with an octave dictionary OF words,
kerosened and wound on an endless
spindle, set in front of the cavern be-
tween his jaw and fixed on the per-
petual motion principle, visits New
berry. He comes for advertising mat
ter for some business directory, or al
manac, of but little benefit to any one
but himself. He loses no time, aud
with an energy peculiar to this kind OF
genius, opens his mouth and the ma
chine starts. 1t works so well that
there is no escape from it, unless the
visitor could flee to the mountains OF
Hepsidam, or to the other side of Jor-
dan, where the weary can find rest.
He takes them in-the Cards-at from
$3.50 up to SO. When he has gone
through the pockets of the people, lie
draws on his right hand glove, pulls
down his vest, and with self-com-
placent chuckle, folds his cloak around
him, and with lighted cigarette, departs
to other fields. He succeeds. This is
picture No. l.
Picture 2 is a melancholy one, be-
cause the seeker of cards is to the man
ner born, is hard-working, home-stay-
ing, and would spend all the money
got here right at home. He has no
gloves, and his clothes are those he
works in, and he can't talk as fast as
the man from foreign parts. What he
is working for too is legitimate home
venture, that will benefit those who
may patronize him and put a few dol
lars in his pocket; a contamination most
devoutly wished. What is the result?
with the exception OF one or two, a
deaf ear is turned on him, few coldly
say call again, we will think OF it, and
the majority throw over it horrible
wet blanket. Poor fellow, he goes to
his hole feeling great big disgust.
He does not succeed-there is too much
home smell about him. What think
you Of the two pictures?

THE SOUTHERN WORLD.

We have finished reading the
Southern World" have read it
through and thorough as children
say, and pronounce it the brightest.
spiciest, most original and altogether
entertaining paper that we have
ever spent our time over. Even the
advertisements came in for a share
of attention, for printer like we love
to look at neat display of type
and those in the World are decided
ly so. 1t is splendidly illustrated
also, and printed on fine calendered
paper, and what makes it highly &C.
ceptable is its price, only 81. Its
proprietor is DR.. B. NJ. Woolley, its
editor W. H. WILDLY and H. H..
Jones. Is published at Atlanta.

The Hot Supper.

The entertainment Wednesday night
last was perfect in all that goes to
make an agreeable and recherche feast.
The viands prepared by the lady
friends of Excelsior Fire Engine Co.,
were delicious and abundant, and in
profusion of variety; even the tooth
some and homely ''possum and taters"
graced the groaning table, and it was
done up brown. 1t was indeed a rich
and royal feast. Too much pains call
not be given to the oyster stew, it was
grand, and the oysters We're so thick
in the dish, that the delicious broth
could hardly lie seen, an unusual
style for public stews. All the sue
cess is due the dear ladies, and we give
them the praise 10 which they are so
eminently entitled-they never fail in
any good work. The amount realized
footed up $3.50, larger sum than
ever before reached on an occasion OF
this kind. The vote on the Lantern
question was just right-no better
man than our energetic and versatile
friend, Mr.. l. W. Walter, could have
thus been honored.

General Beauregard's History of the
War.

The announcement is made that the His
tory of the War, to the pre- paration Of which
Gen. Beauregard has for some years been
giving his attention, will be published dur
ing the winter.
Since i: was first known that Gen. Beaure-
gard had determined upon the publication of
such a work, it has been expected with gen.
eral interest BY the public, both North and
South. Able and distinguished critics who
have seen the manuscript characterize it as
fascinating book, and the most interesting
and important contribution yet made by any
Southern writer to the history of the late war,
and say that it throws Totally new light upon
many events hitherto imperfectly understood
or wholly misunderstood. A most capable
and discriminating critic is the Hon. Charles
A. Dana, the editor Of the New York ''S1n,"
who says: sit is, in my Judgment.
every valuable and important work. It sets
"forth facts hitherto unknown or unappreci-
Gated. It sheds new and valuable light On
"controverted questions, and it nar:ates in
"simple, unaffected, easy and engaging style
"the story Of the most important facts of the
"great struggle. It Is especially worthy of
recommendation for the moderation and free
"dom from excitement with which t. dis ls-
"ses points that have been the subject Of
"embit;cred disputes in the hands Of other
''Wri,eTs. While the view OF the writer is
powerfully maintained and fortified by un-
questionable documents, | have not found
"anywhere an angry word or undignifed
"rejonder.
The book will unquestionably be an ex.
ceediugly valuable and notable addition to
the literature Of American history. and must
have very large sale throughout the coun-
try, both on account Of the great moment Of
the theme and The admirable style in which
it seems to have been treated. 1t will, Of
course, be of peculiar value and interest to
the people of South Carolina, on whose soil
the active operations Of the great war were
so dramatically begun by Gen. Beauregard
himself, and with the long, brilliant and sue
cessful defence Of which his name and fame
are inseparably associated.
The History will be published BY Harper &
Brothers, and will be sold exclusively by SUBJ
scription. through their general manager,
Mr.. T. X. Oglesby, of Atlanta, Ga, who will
have the State can7assed by active and In
teligeDt agents.-News and Courier.
Applications for agencies for Gen. Beaure-
CARDS book should be sent TO Mr.. Oglesby,
at Atlanta, with proper endorsements as to
the character and capacity Of those applying.
