The young gentlemen ofClint' n

TO the young ladies Of the cooking
club at Mr.. J. II. Beaman's, ST.,
on next Wednesday evening.
IA fine success" is the way in
which all speak ofthe Sampson Fair,
In fact We. have yet to see or hear OF
the first man who has anything but
praise for the exhibit and the high
est satisfaction at the pleasure and
general results Of the great Fair.
AT O'Clock yesterday mem J.
rial address on the life and character
Of the late Hon. Jefferson Davis was
delivered by Capt. Swift Galloway.
AS every one anticipated Capt. Gal
loway was equal to the great occa-
sion. His fine delivery, deep, So
norous voice he paid high, glowing
feeling and eloquent tribute to the
immortal dead.
"A fox chase on last Saturday
morning was delightful and enjoy
able occasion. Miss Sudie Faison, of
Clinton, Miss Florence Faison, of
Elliot, and Miss Guitar, of Whining
ton, mounted on horses, joined in
the exhilarating sport. Brer fox
was soon notified by the yelping of
forty or more hounds tina his festive
tail was in demand, and that the odds
would be against him.
The Young Ladies' Club met at
Mrs. Morisey's last Tuesday night.
We could not say more of it than
that it was repetition Of the plea
SAINT meetings in the past, and was
immensely enjoyed. The supper
served was, indeed, feast fit for a
king. Judge Bynum and Messrs.
Oliver and Willie Allen were among
the guests Of the evening. The next
meeting Of the club will be at the
residence of Mr.. w. G.. Hubbard.
THE CAUCASIAN office and many
other places were draped in Grape
| upon the receipt of the sal intelli-
gence of the death of Jefferson Da-
Wis. Many memorial plaeards bOr-
dered with Grape were posted. The
prettiest and most ella 1orate draping
was in front Of the millinery estab-
lishment of Mrs. Moore & Patrick.
Large pictures of Jefferson Davis and
StOnewall Jackson were handsomely
trimmed with Grape, while around
them and on the whole front fell
gracefulfolds of black and white
draping in tervening.
Sampson Court convened prompt
ly Monday morning On time with
His Honor, Judge Bynum, on the
bench. His charge to the Grand Jul
ry was remarkably practical and in
structive. His statements in regard
to the lethargy of our people in the
educational field opened the eyes of
many and should not be passed un-
needed. 1t was rather a departure
from the usual charge and was part
ly lecture and q good one. Judge
Bynum is becoming one of the most
popular judges in the State and
makes warm friends wherever he
goes.
We intended to write up the
exhibit at the Fair in detail to some
extent, but being unable to examine
closely and take notes on each de-
partment, we refrain from calling
special attention to many most de-
deserving exhibits for fear Of ap-
pearing partial. But we must at all
events stop to admire the beautiful
japanese gold fish, exhibited by
Miss Mittie Beaman in pool tastily
and naturally decorated with native
MOSES, pitcher plans, partridge
berry, etc.. The surroundings of
