" Remarkable aud Original." Talking with Gov. McLane, of Mary land, the other night, he spoke of Hon. George D. Tillman as one cf the most re markable and original oi men. As the Governor has been all over the world, and is acquainted with macy of the most noted of mortals, this struck me as a memorable compliment to the Demosthenes of Edge field.- Washington Correspondence of Au gusta Chronicle. Slowly Improving. Last week we chronicled the serious ac cident which had befallen our honored friend, ex County Commissioner James H. Watson, of the Mine Creek country. Th i3 wees we are glad to hear that he is improving-even though slowly. It seems that he will be confined to bed, unable to .Tals, for two or three months. No man in our County is more gtnerally or de servedly beloved than James H. Watson, and be may rest assured that troops of | friends are thinking of him with deep sympathy in his present suffering and irksome confinement. Handsome Entertainment. The reception given on Friday evening lasj^by Mr. and Mrs John L Addison, in, E?norjfclrT VfVTT^Ktniisbn^ncrlTh^ *B was an extremely handsome and stylish I iffair. Besides the bride and groom, there t ?vere present from Troy, and its vicinity, j ,be Hon W P. Wideman and lady, Miss ? barrie Bradley, Miss Nei1, ulr. John k Sideman, Mr. Wm. Bradley, Mr, Joe 11 Addison, and Messrs. Xennedv and Da- 8 ;is. The occasion was an extremely s ?appy one in all its be. rings-a social a iuccess of which Edgefield may well be jroud. Bethlehem and Cleveland. Everybody is scrambling around to ?et Christmas money-and with little or to iuccess. Most of ns are evidently doomed io have a "small and inconsequential" johdoy. And lucky will the little chil Iren be if they get a good bait of back >one pie and a pocket full of pop corn. But let UB cot weep and kick over ad verse fate. Let us take the beantiful sto ?y of Bethlehem-with a thought now ind then of Cleveland and theNovember ?eturns-and still be happy. By these fie shall know that sinners and tho Solid South are not without hope. Pr?f. Ta um. In another column will be found a card rom Prof. Tatum, offering his services to ?he people ?)( our community. Prof. Ta :um, who comes among us with excellent testimonials, is a teacher of the elements >f tborough-bai>a, or in plainer English, the very ground-work of musical science md composition. What he teaches is ab solutely necessary to musical intelligence ind efficiency. Without it, all playing, singing and composition is m a great de gree a Poil Parrot business. Prof. Tatum's system is in admirable one, and of his emi nent success in imparting this sort of knowledge, there is no doubt. We be speak for Prof. Tatum a goodly class in Edgefield. Ordained to the Priesthood. On Sunday last, in St. Philip's Church. Charleetoa.the Rev. R W. Barnwell, who, for two y?ars past, has been rector of Grace Church, Ridge Spring, and who has also preached at intervals in the Church of Our Savior, Trenton, was ordained to the priesthood, having served out the period of hts de?.conate. The rite of ordination was performed by the Right Rev. W B W. Howe, Bishop of the Diocese, assisted by tbre Rev. John Johnson, rector of St. Philips. Mr. Barnwell is mach beloved and highly prized by bis people of Ridge Spring and Trenton, and bids fair, even in earryVyoutb, to attain a very high place in our E jj?copal ministry. He ?B a son ot th? late Rev. Robert W. Barnwell whose services at Charlottesville, Va., during the civil war, all Carolinians who v. re in t'^e army of Northern Virginia will remember-and a grandson of the Rev Wm H. Barnwell, once rector of St. Peter's Church, in Charleston. Dwelling House Darned. On Sunday night last a dwelling house belonging to Mr. J. W. Bartley, one mile North ol Johnston, was destroyed by fire The hou;e was built by Mr. Bartley and formerly occupied by him, but more re cently occupied by School Commissioner G. W Latt. The house had been unoc cupied for two or three days-a vacancy incident to one tenant moving out and another moving in-and there can scarce ly be any other theory for the origin of the fire than that of incendiarism. Mr. Bartley, as will be seen by reference to our advertising columns, very promptly offers a re wara for tbe apprehension ot the guilty party or parties. The house was insured for"$700.-Monitor. Heeting ol' Lott Grange. A jugular meeting of Lott Grange was held in Monitor Hall on Saturday last. The attendance was large and the meet ing of more than usual interest.

Still Says : .* Come." CABOT, ARKANSAS, Dec. 12, '84. MESSRS. EDITORS : I noticed in last week's ADVERTISER, in your editorial concerning Arkansas, that " it were infinitely wiser in the young men to stay where they were-and work hard"-and I ask yon the question hr whom must they work? Must they stay in Carolina and work for those who have homes, and never be able to get a home of their own ? No, I think not; it is infinitely wiser for them to come West, where they can get land at a mere song (and land that is far superior to that of Caroli na) and where it can be bought with out ready cash-with plenty of time to pay for it. Why, Messrs. Editors, South Carolina is getting like old Ire land ; lew own land, and thoee lew own it all; and I think it wise in any young man to leave, who bae no borne in Carolina, when be can have the many advantages the West gives to those Beeking homes. I can say to the young men of Carolina, who have but a Bjaall sum, if they come here they C3n be the happy owners of a little home in a little while. I speak from my own experience. I have lived in South Carolina, " and worked hard" and the best portion of my life has been wasted trying lo get a start. Now I am in the Weet, and my chief i egret is that I d;d not come sooner. I eeo the many advantages here I d;d am glad M Le poor bofP^Jr^StigeEeld. While love old Edgefield, as much as any itate loving citiz-n ought, yet I know t is to the interest of all of her poor ons to come West, that they may be elf sustaining, and lay up a little for . rainy day. If they Btay in Carolina, nd could get a paying position, vhen they have saved money enough o buy a little home, they could be ailed no longer young. There is the rouble. Life is short, and -in order o get a start, so they can enjoy it, hey will have to come West. " For time is the warp of life, And the young should weave it well." EDWARD C. LOMAN.

It bas been tested and foundjthat^a majority of the travel ing public prefer theft cars lo any others tried. The ventilation in these cars is so perfectly arranged as to at all times se cure absolutely pure atmosphere, free from smoae or dust. The buffet will af ford a reasonable supply of delicacies, widi fresh hot tea, coffee and chocolate. Electric bells connected with each berth. Adjoining the ladies' dressing room is Vie ladies' boudoir ; this is reserved for ladies traveling alone-without escort. The adjoining boudoirs are for families and parties who may desire to go to gether. All of thee'' cars are lighted with gas, thus securing greater degree of safety, etc. The regulations under which the cars will be operated are calculated to secure to passengeiB the highest degree of luxurious ease, combined with such personal freedom or seclusion as may be consistent with the proprieties of a thor oughly first-class hotel. This line offers inducements to the traveling public. They will reserve your berth and give you number of same ton days in advance. No'other lino from Atlanta can do this.
