"Dick" Anderson, and oue to the. Confederate 'dead at this place. With this object in view they have determined to have a hot supper at White Oak on the 18th inst., the proceeds of which will be divided half and half between Anderson fund ! and the monument association of this county. Tbis is a wormy example which should be followed in other por| tions of the county. Campaign Funds.?"We are not aware to what extent Democrats in the county have contributed to the cam, paign fund individ ually, but the information that one at least had sent on his quota, which was indeed a generous contribution, outside of the regular collection fund, is cheering. We refer to Mr. R. H. Jennings, who, not Knowing 01 aieconiempiaieasuusuriution, of his own accord sent five dollars to Treasurer Canda. This action was eminently patriotic and should we all have done as much according to our means, Fairfield would be the ! banner contributing county of the State. Rev. Moore not Drunk.?Rev. ! Alfred Moore, colored, whose name appeared in these columns sometime ago in what was termed a ''drunken debauch," has been up before his conference on the charge, and he produced a certificate from a reputable physician that he had long been a suterer from neuralgia, and having taken for several days a large quantity of quinine,'.it had practically crazed bim, and causcd him to act as he did. We had no intention of injuring the character of this colored man, and simply reported what was the common rumor on the streets But since a physician has given him his professional opinion we cheerfully state the after-learned facts of the case. Maj. Pagan's Recollections.? Maj. Pagan has for some years been publishing in the Chester Bulletin some interesting letters about people and affairs in the counties of York, Chester and Lancaster. The Major's experience covers a long number of vp-iT-s. and he has written his recollec tion about historical and personal matters of interest in these counties in a most enteitaining style. He has decided to publish a book entitled "Recollections of Maj. Jas. Pagan/-' and subscription blanks are now being circulated. "We feel certain that this book will be an interesting addition to the history of these couuties, and that a liberal subscription will be obtained.

He did all in his power to get them over, knowing that the morning train would soon pass. IIis efforts were unavailing, but hearing the train coming he unhitched bis mules and awaited results. The train came along running aUits ordinary speed, struck the wagon, tore it to flinders, and scattered lumber on every side. Strange to say the engine was not injured to any appreciable degree, and everything was done so quickly that the passengers were not aware of what had occurred. It might have been a most serious accident. Improvements.?McMaster, Brice & Ivetchiu have determined to do business on the cashier plan, and have cut an opening in the middle of their store where the cashier's desk "nil be situated. This is the first movement of the kind in town, and being the most accurate way of doing business, their example will doubtless be followed by other iii.-i chants. The I. ink some time since placed a handsome carpet on the floor inside the raili:.-?r, which gives it qutea pretty and cozy appearance. The front of the store of J. O. Boag has recently been painted in attractive and harmouions colors, which adds much to the appearance of the building. Matthews Cummiugs are preparing to put a glass front to their store on Congress street. The handsome vehicles they carry in stock will then attract still more attention. ?Hundreds of persons who have used Ayer's Hair Vigor attest its value, as a stimulant and tonic, for preventing and curing baldness, cleansing the scalp, and restoring the youthful color to faded and gray hair. * November "Weather.?Mr. J.

The Clerk's sales were as follows: E. M. Shannon vs. Jas. W. Bunkhead, administrator, et al., 412 acresbought by E. M. Shannon for $900. P. C. Mellichamp vs. Marion R.

According to the published information the cornerstone of the new Episcopal Church was laid with impressive ceremonies on Friday evening. Quite a number of our citizens were present to attest their interest and hearty good will in the building of this temple dedicated to the service of God. Upon that part of the building already erect. . a platform was made, upon which the organ was placed and chairs arranged for the choir, the Bishop and other ministers. About 5 o'clock the choir commenced the rendition of a beantifnl hymn, before the conclusion of which the Bishop, Rev. W. B. "W. llowe. and the following ministers approached and took position on the platform: Rev*. Ellison Capers, D. D., Rev. E. N. Joyncr, Rev. A. R. Mitchcli, and Rev. J. G. Glass. Rev. Mr. Joyner then led the assemblage in a touching prayer, after which the list of articles placed in the corner-stone was read. They were as follows: Copy of the proceedings of the Diocesan Convention for 1SSS, United States coin?20c. of 1S75, Canada coin?26c. of uanacta coin?10c. of 1872, United States coin ?lc. of 1825, United States coin?lc. of 1883, copies of the Chester Reporter, Living Church, Southern Episcopalian, Constitution, Rules, and Canons of the Episcopal Church, Columbia Register, News and Courier, Triweekly and Weekly News and Her- i ald, and list of Wardens and Vestrymen. i The Bishop, then, with ham-! mer in hand, after prayer, laid the corner-stone in the name of the "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost." The choir 1 theu sang another hymn, when the1 Bishop announced that Dr. Capers would address the assemblage. Dr. Capers came forward and delivered a very able, eloquent, and instructive address. His general line of thought was that the temples made with hands could be destroyed by fire, earthquakes and storms, but the Church of Christ was eternal in the hearts of men. Speaking of infidelity, the doctor said that it was not more prevalent now than in past years, bnt that on the whole it was on the decrease. He congratulated the rector, his parishoners and the people generally on the result of their effor's and assured them that should further aid be needed it would be forthcoming. Mr. Glass then announced another hymn, after the singing of which the Bishop invoked the Divine blessing upon the building just commenced, and dismissed the assemblage with the benediction. Thu3 closed the exercises of the day. DOTS FB03I VTOLLIXQ. Mr. D. K. Feaster and family will move to Arkansas some time in December. He has sold his p'acc to Mr. T. D.

Cotton commands a very low price, and consequently comes in slowlj'. Farmers are busy picking cot-ou and sowing grain. The general opinion of the farmers is that the cotton crop is considerably below that of last year, and in fact lower than for many years before. Woodward is the best cotton market in the upper country, as high as 9^ being paid here last week when cottor was only 9 cents in Columbia. About 1,200 bales of cotton have been bought here since the first o: September, Messrs. Calvin Brice ? Co. having bought about 800 anc Messrs. A. R. Nicholson & Co. aboui 400. Rev. H. B.

The notice in your paper that the county treasurer would make his usual tour of the county at a time when: I would not be particularly engaged, suggested that I make the effort to gratify the desire I have long lelt to see something of uiy native county, so I called on that "necessary evil,'"' the tax-collector, and proposed that in return for my company he haul me round the county with hirn. This functionary at first seemed disposed io treat the proposition as a piece of colossal cheek, but when reminded that votes might be in demand at the next primary election, the official smile ap peared on his countenancc, and when I intimated that he might count on me I was assured that my company would be most acceptable; so the announcement was made that we would take an early start in the morning for Buckhead, the first appointment. After a journey of four hours over corduroy roads we reached Mr. Feaster's store, at Buckhead, feelingenthu' siastic over the projected railroad which will conncct this place with "VViunsboro and furnish far more comfortable and rapid transit between this section and the county scat.

The only gin in upper Fairfield was run at this place, and the farmers lor miles around carried their seed cotton there to be ginned. ; In those days cotton was not, as at present, the principal crop. The different cereals, tobacco, hemp, and even indigo were planted, and. it is said that only one hundred bales of cotton were made where now thousands arc annually gathered.

As well expect the sanitary condition of a city to be perfect with defiled water and defective sewerage, as to expect such a complicated piece of mechanism as the human frame to be in good order with impure blood circulating even to its minutest veins. Do you know that every drop of your two or three gallons of blood passes through the heart and lungs in about two and a half minutes, and that, on its way, it makes bone and muscle, brain and nerve, and all other solids and fluids of the body? The blood is the great nourisher, or, as the Bible terms it, ^ "The Life of the Body." Is it any wonder, then, that it the blood he not pure and perfect in its consti tuents, yon suffer so many indescribable symptoms? Ayer's Sarsaparilla stands " head and shoulders" above every otber Alterative and Bloocl 3'edicine. As proof, read theso reliable testimonies: G. C. Brock, of Lowell, Mass., says: "For the past 25 years I have sold Ayer's Sarsaparilla. In my opinion, the best remedial agencies for the cure of all the diseases arising from impurities of the blood are contained in this medicine." Eugene I. Hill, M. D., 381 Sixth Ave., New York, says : "As a blood-purifier and general builder-up of the system, I have never found anything to equal Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It gives perfect satisfaction." Ayer's Sarsaparilla proves equally efficacious in all forms of Scrofula, Boils, Carbuncles, Eczema, Humors, ^Lumbago, Catarrh, &c.; and is, therefore, the very best Spring and Family Medicine in use.
