New York, Oct. 12.-There is herewith
presented a fistic bouquet, a composite let
ter by one of the best known referees and
sporting men in the country and five rec
ognized pugilistic champions in their re-
spective classes upon the merits of James
j. Corbett and Robert Fitzsimmons as
gladiators, and the probable outcome of
their great contest now impending. The
referee is John p. Eckhart, of Coney Is
land Club fame, and the fistic champions
are Bob Fitzsimmons himself, the great
est middleweight the world has ever
known, and the ambitious aspirant for
the worlds heavyweight championship;
Tommy Ryan, welterweight champion of
the world; Jack McAuliffe, lightweight
champion of the world kid" Lavinge,
McAuliffe's rival; and the redoubtable
Critic himself, who insists that he has
better claim to the worlds featherweight
Championship than George Dixon, al
though he battles with lightweights and
even middleweights.
The battle, in my opinion, will be one
of the iercest, speediest, and most scien-
tific ever fought in any country. Strange
as it may appear TO the average reader,
neither principal will attempt to make
protraeted contest. They will go at
each other viciously from the start. This
indeed would seem odd to those who
remember how the shifty New Zealander
kept Peter Maher at arms length until
he had the Irishman almost out, and
then only went at him for fair. Equally
astonishing will it be to those who wit
messed the agile Californian's elusive
tactics when he battled with the renown-
ed John. l.. Sullivan for the worlds
championship three years ago. Like the
Antipodean, the Californian kept away
from SullIVan's fierce rushes until he
had the great Bostonian pretty nearly
punched out In this contest both men

There's an old saw that the man who
hesitates is lost. young man who has
just gone back to Kentucky with upward
Of a quarter Of a million dollars simply
because he hesitated puts no belief in the
proverb.
When Riley Grammar, the youngest
plunger on the American turf, came to
New York about three weeks ago he had a
comfortable bank account Of 100000, and
had made up his mind to retire. He hest

Money came TO him in a torrent His
judgment Of the contendng horses was al
most invariably correct IT seemed as
though he couldn't lose Soon he had a
second 100000. and again he decided to
retire But again he hesitated.
The afternoon that Henry Of Navarro
beat Domino and Rey FL Santa Anita In
the special sweepstakes arranged for them
Grammar went to the race track with
Starter James Rowe. Grammar announced
his determination never to bet another
cent on horse race
That's enough to keep me the rest Of
my life" he said to Rowe, "and I'm done
with the whole game
Nonsense" said the starter, 1.-THE min

Grammar was putting up his money right

$12C1O with old Joe Uuilman, the veteran
western boOkmaker, and dared him to
take another $1,000. Ullman weakened
with every bOOkmaker who would take
his money. Altogether he put up $50 00g,
and won $4,000. another reward for post
poning MS retirement.

With Jim Hall he had the same luck.

Married at the Presbyterian Church

Mr.. II. r.. Austin to Syiss Lila Fuller
daughter of w. Benton Fuller.
Our powers of description utterl,
fail US when we would attempt to des
cribe the decorations OF The church
the beauty and dress of the bride ant
bridesmaids, the handsome and mani,
appearance OF the groom and grooms
men, and we can only say that, taker
all together, the affair was the mos
brilliant and stylish thing that has ever
occurred in this community. We arc
informed that the supper at Mr.. Fuller:
and the Unfair dinner at Mrs. Austin's
were in the very best style ard al
passed off to the perfect satisfaction OIL
all concerned. We throw our old shoe
after the happy couple for good luck
and wish them every happiness in this
life.

1t is with sorrow that we chronicle
the death of Mrs. Mamie Cook, wife OF
.John @. Cook, Esq. She departed this
life on the 18th inst. after q brief ill
ness. Mrs. Cook was a devoted wife
and mother, a good neighbor and a
CONSTANT Christian. She leaves q
family of eight children and q discon-
ISOLATE husband to mourn their i~rrepara-
BILE loss, but we believe that we can
truly say their loss is her eternal gain.

body to its last resting place in the

their presence to the esteem and re-

We were glad to see in our town q
Campbell, q native of this place but
now q resident of the city of Newberry
at which place he has charge of q
large and tlourishing church. We are
always glad to see him and hope he
will visit us often.
Will you allow me to leave the peo-
pie sphere of correspondent and 60 Off
q little into politics. 1t seems that the
decision of Judge Golf has been re-
versed and that to some extent relieves
the situation, but the matter Of setting
forth candidates and of getting good
men is still a serious concern, and per-
NIT me to suggest the following as q
feasible plan and one that would likely
result IN good:
Let the member of the Executive
Committee from each Township in con-
nection with one or more Conservatives
in the Township call q meeting of all
the white people in the Township and
let that meeting elect eight delegates
to q convention at the Court House,
and also select four names to be pre-.
scented to that as their choice of dele
gates, then let the county convention
take all the names that have been pre-
sented and by u majority vote select
from them four men as candidates and
then let us all support them. Let all
the voting in the different conventions
be done by ballot. If the above is
deemed worth anything publish it, if
not drop it in the waste basket. The
time is drawing near and other counties
in tho State are moving and it is time
old Laurens was falling into line.
