MIR. Owdom Urges Improvement
OF Augusta-Ninety Six Road.

Mr.. Editor: I would like to say
something about the public road
from Augusta via Edgeield to
Ninety Six. From Augusta to
Edgefeld it should be clayed in the
sandy places and re-surveyed part
of the way from Edgeield to Nine
ty Six. 1t should be graded and
contents put at all water places, so
that autos and such machines would
not have such jolts. Mr. Gaines
has suggested this movement after
he made one trip. Then people
that have to make merry should
help to put this road so it will be a
pleasure to travel inste d of being
such hardship on man and beast.
Our ancestors pulled over these
hills and through these sand beds
for the past 100 years, so the only
way to get this in shape is 10 90 to
work on it. Everybody would be
benefited and not any one hurt e1-
eept other places which may be get
ting Edgefeld's trade now. Au-
gusta should give literally to this
good road movement as it would
send many that way that are not
going now. The masses of the peo-
pie don't generally go ahead them
selves. They have been waiting
until some good roads politi eian
comes trying 20 ride into Office
promising them that they will look
especially after their interests. but
all such has been failure. So we
must 90 to work and have this
thing done ourselves. AS your old
home is on this road and you have
always shown a desire to help in a
good cause and when you come
this way you may be called on to
make Sunday school address and
if you have come a very bad road
you won't feel much like making

Somebody VIII Have to An.

The papers tell of white man,
having a wife aud half grown son,
who was killed near Aiken Monday
night by being struck as he sat on
the railroad track-under the inhu-
ence of liquor. Suppose that man
had been caught and devoured by
some wild beast; a thousand men
would have taken their guns and
gone in pursuit of the beast, and
would never have been satisfied an
til they caught and killed it, or put
it out of the way, where it could
not devour any human beings. Lii
quor is Just as really the cause of
his death as if lion or tiger had
devoured him.
Do men drive liquor out? Some
try to; others invite it TO come and
devour :he men aud the boys.

Making Law Mean Something.

Solicitor Hill of Spartanburg county,
has issued call to the foreman of the
grand jury and all the magistrates in
his Office tomorrow to discuss methods
of enforcing the criminal laws. Sell
ing cocaine and carrying concealed
weapons are two matters he proposes
to go into particularly. This appears
to be a very sensible thing to do,
doesn't it? Yet have you heard ofits ev-
er being done before? Why shouldn't all
officials and the people generally wake
up and put some ginger into law en-
forcement? Isn't it about time to sit
up and take notice instead of shirkipg
the enforcement of law against crimeS
We refer to the attitude of our people
generally. Beaufort Gazette.

The Corner Store.

Listen to the mocking Bird" was
sweetly sung by Miss Beaufort De,
Wore, who played admirably the
"Gem of Scotland" with variations,
Yankee Doodle,' with variations
Lola polka, etc. Miss Beaufort plays
with great spirit and beautiful
touch.
Miss Ida DeVore sang like a
sweet little bird "Come to the old
oak tree" which was repeated in
chorus by the interesting class.
The very fine duets What are
the wild waves saying 20, call
my brother back" were excellently
sung and played by Misses Harriet
and Beaufort DeVore.
''.Uncle Sans farm" A few
days" Come maidens eome," were
bravely and beautifully expressed
by Eliza Bailey, who also played
"Rosalie sschottisch" and other
things finely on the piano.
Miss Martha Stalnaker and Miss
Ida DeVore played duets handsome
ly together on the piano.
The pleasing duet When night
comes over the plains" :" oswas sweet
ly sung by Misses Emma and Mar
tha Andrews.
Although Miss Beaufort DeV ore
had not recovered from severe
cold she sang Little more cider"
to the gIeat pleasure Of the audi
enee.
The choruses Sparkling and
bright" Merry month of May, "
How dear is the day. We greet
with JOY this happy day." Come
away school mates," Come out
out with me on this fine morning"
etc., were all admirably performed
by the beautiful twelve.
Mr.. Moses occasionally played
and sung to the high qualification
of all. Just before the closing march
on two pianos and violin, Miss Ida
DeVore, in behalf of the pupils of
Oak Grove Academy, with brief
and graceful speech, presented Mr..
Moses beautiful gold pen and pen
Gil and an elegant book in token of
esteem and appreciation of his SER
vices as their music teacher.
In'fine the whole entertainment
was highly delightful to all who
were present.
Mr.. Moses, from the New Eng
land states, already three years in
this country, is an accomplished, ,efh,
cient and experienced musician,
landscape and portrait painter.

Oak Grove Academy Concert.

The following account of school
closing which was published in the
issue of The Advertiser of January
5, 1859, will be Of interest to many
Of our readers.
Mr. Editor: beg you to grant
me little space in your columns to
speak of a concert given by Mr..
Moses and his pupils of the
Oak Grove Academy, two miles
from Kirksey's Cross Roads, Edge
field district, S. G.
The concert took place in the
Olive Branch church near the
school house, on Thursday night
the 93rd of December. As one of
the auditors I feel it would be un-
just not to make some public men
ton of the charming scenery and
music of that evening.
The home was lighted with un-
common brilliancy and fashion
able and appreciative assemblage
partook of the mental feast which
was gratuitously offered in due
time. In front of the pulpit a large
platform was erected upon which
two fine pianos rested. In the back
ground frame work stood, from
which hung red curtain and sew
eral handsome oil paintings, the
work, I think, Of the music teacher.
The whole was interlaced with
sprigs of cedar.
Soon, in due order from behind
the curtain came forth twelve beau
tiful maidens from twelve to seven
teen years of age, dressed in elegant
taste. Their charming presence in
spired me with the idea of angels
come to whisper sweet things to us.
The playing and singing of these
pupils indicated fine taste and eff
cheney in the teacher, and native
talent and application in the pupils.
The duets played at the same time
by four scholars on two pianos went
off with spirit and precision. ooThese
duets were accompanied by the
teacher on the violin which added
to the attraction,
The songs, duets and choruses
were judiciously selected and charm
ingly performed.
Gentle Annie" is a beautiful
and plaintive song which was sweet
ly expressed by Miss Emma An
drews, who pleased her hearers with
many more songs and polkas on the
piano.
''The world is full of beauty when
the heart is full o. love-" %! Will
lie we have missed YOU" Would
were with tbee," The shepherd
boys lament" with beautiful echo,
were most oharmingly given by
Miss Harriet Devore, who also e1
hibited much skill in Hours there
were" with variations, new years
schottisch, etc., on the pisno.
