Come. You won't have to turn this
over in your mind more than min
ute to come to conclusion about it.
We find chat we still have twenty
five imported French Challie patterns
and about half as many China Silks.
Now these goods are the most desira-
BILE to be found anywhere, and 1t
seems pity to sacrifice them; but
we want to get rid of as much of our
stock as possible by August 1, and
have put the knife into the above

of prices being laughably low? Well
come and price our China Silks and

Columbia District Conference.

The 18th annual session of the Co.
lumbia District Conference, was held
at South Columbia July no. Al
though the weather was very unfa-
vorable all the time, yet the occasion
was one of pleasure and profit. Pre-
siding Elder Collier had 1T all Well
planned before hand. From the very
hour of opening to the closing min
ute be had things in hand. The ver-
dict of all, who had the pleasure of att
tending and some attended the first
one, is that it was the most enjoyable
session even held, The spiritual in
terests of the District was made the
prominent feature of the conference.
/ would that l could give the report
| of the committee on the spiritual
state of the church The committee
were composed Of men highly fitted
to serve and asked many questions
of the various pastors so that they
could and did get at the real state OF
the church. 1t was not as fiatteling
as it should have been but showed
each pastor the line of work be had
to do during the remainder of the
year. The spiritual songs from the
choir and pointed prayers from vari-
Gus members added III Ich to the oc-
casiOn. Each days work was begun
with a half hours prayer-meeting,
and as each subject was completed
| the conference Joined in song aid
short prayer which showed fully the
spirit of the conference. There was
very little of the dry statistics and
windy speeches. Everything of he
kind was short and to the point and
| showed careful boiling down.
Preaching was made a prominent
| feature of the conference and was of
high character and the preachers

not to be forgotten soon. The
spirit of God was in the place,
and all got their share.
The Love Feast at $3.50 Sunday

was indeed q feast of love. The
Holy Ghost entered the house OF God
before his people and they were
made to feel his presence. The meet

Says the Western HOrsemau: In
an old Turf Register (lS54) kindly
loaned us by George Bement, the old
est trotting-hOrse driver in California,
we find an advertisement in which il
was stated that the trotting stallion
Hambletonian would stand at the
stable of William Rysdyk, IN Chester,
Orange county, n. Y, at $25 the sea-
SOL. Further down the same page OF
the Register we fluid Vermont Black
Hawk advertised to make the season
at 500 per mare al Bridgeport, Addi-
sou County, Vermont. 1t shows what
changes come over the spirit Of trot-
ting horae men. There has been a
mighty flop in favor of the HANDLE
tonians since that dsy, and grand
son of the Hero of Chester has Just
made q season at 50, 800 per mare.

One of the great attractions of the
day was the balloon ascension and
parachute descent Of Prof. Moore.

the aeTonaut gave the signal and the
mammoth balloon assembled to a
great height, with the Professor CIV

When at the highest, the aerOnauG
detached his parachute from the
balloon, and il started toward the
earth with lightning speed, but the
air gathered in the huge mbrella
and it gradually opened, allowing
him to float gracefully and safely to
terra firma. During this performance
there was q death-like stiffness in the
grand-stand, and a sigh OF relief from
the laCies could be heard when the
aerial navigator safely landed. The
balloon ascension will be repeated

Oh, we followed You first in the days Of old
When you stood for the rights Of men!
And our poineer-soldier followed your fold,
For they fought for the Union then.
They held you aloft in the fiery fIarne

And planted you on the heights of fame!
That flag they loved so wei.
Oh, we followed you next in the days of old
When our jackson went to the fray,
And the Tennessee soldiers lay IN the cold
OF that long dread winter day.;
They lag in the cold, but you hoattd DER,
A nd the silence was deep as the grave,
Till their Iong- barrel rifles spoke with 70 ar

Oh, we followed you once in the days OF Old,
When our Polk reused the Mexican ire,
And we gathered an empire into the loId
TO warm it at LiDerty's fire!
Twas our own gallant Campbell who led the
band,
And yon flag of our Union Went in his hand
Through the red-hot fire OF the fight
Oh. we followed you on In the days Of old
And Wen follow you oft againl
Shall the pulse of the soia grow sluggish and
where the sire's blood flowed like the rain
Shall the deeds of the past by error oewalIea
Be lost in the passions dark now,
And the flag OF our country by brothers DC
When it never has trailed TO the foe2

free,
Should the zoe Win MS banner Ger come
No need for a bug;e to call us to thee
Our heart makes the beat of our dram!
With the spirit of Jackson to guide from

And the mem'ry of Crockett to hid MS,
Wen rally once more u the banner we love
The banner our fOrefathers made us!
After reading the poem, which was
applauded by the large crowd, Mr..
Moore made short speech, bright
and we'll worded.
After the flag raising exercises the
militia gave dress parade, which war
followed by an exhibition drill by the
Liuek ZouaVec, Of Nashville, which
was well appreciated aud heartily
applauded.
The militia then returned to camp
at the race track.
The people of Columbia have eX-
erted themselves to make this worthy
of the event it is desired to com.
memorate. They have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that their efforts
have been crowned with success. The
only disappointment is in the failure
