Did Not Sail.
Mrs. Senator Butler and her daughters
did not sail from New York for Europe on
Saturday last, as was their design when
they LEFT Edgelield. They have reconsider.
ell iher plans, and will not sail before the
9TH September. Until that time they will
soiourn at Nyack on the Hudson
Grand Jury Foreman.
Insslnuch as Capt. J. Hampden Brooks's s
appointment as Deputy Collector OF In
ternal Revenue excuses him from jury
service, the Hon. Clinton Ward was on
Monday last appointed by Judge Kershaw
to fill Cant Rrooks's place as Foreman nf
our Grand Jury.
Judge kershaw.
This noble gentleman looks as young
as he did twenty years ogo. Apart from
his emrencc as Judge and jurist, there
are hundreds of men, old soldiers OF his
brigade, in Edge6eld County-and their
chi!dren- who will always be earnestly
devoted to him on account of high and
noble memories of his conduct and record IN
the late war.
Fifty Cents and Side of Bacon.
If we mistake not, We have heard the
Hon. George D. Tillman or Senator James
Callison, one or the other narrate in pub
lie speeches, that the building Of the Au-
gusta and Knoxville Railroad was begun
upon fifty cents and a side Of bacon. How
much better then the prospect OF the mar.
row gauge from Augusta to Newberry
when we consider that Canvasser Cal!lson
hal virtually $4,000 in his pocket before
he left The ADVERTISER building
Prevented by Sickness.
To the very great disappointment OF oul
community, the musical amateurs from
Troy did not reach our town on Thursday
last 10 give their promised entertainment
in behalf of the Presbyterian Churcn
The serious sickness Of several leading
members of The troupe, was the cause O
this enforced failure. We are delighted
however, TO be able to announce that ou
gifted Troy friends will still come-lust 81
soon as these indisposed members are wei
enough to fill their roles. OF course W
will give due previous announcement.
The Gallant Hussars.
The article from the Hussars IN anothe
; column is wise and timely. Most OF thes
gallant boys are poor, and could mol
, unsupported, stand the strain OF thes
l great annual entertainments, which hav
always proved so delightful to our people
Nor could thcy-in thc face of the hug
crowds That attend their picnics-manag
matters at all harmoniouslY without Ger
,oin well known rules and regulations
