Entertainment at White Oak..A very enjoyable and successful entertainment was given by the Young People's Literary Club at "White Oak on the 6th inst. A neat stage had been erected in the school house which for the time served all the purposes of a theatre. The whole programme was successfully rendered by the young people, each and every one of whom seemed to enter into the spirit of their respective roles. The programme consisted of tableaux, charades, instrumental and vocal music, all of which was exceptionally well rendered for * 1 -1 amateurs, many 01 wnom snuweu ranch artistic skill. An admission fee of twenty-five cents was charged, and netted about thirty dollars, which we understand will be devoted to some charitable purpose. With a "Good smio- the entertainment closed. o I The Literary Club was formed principally from scholars in the school of Mr. J. S. Brice, although many young people not connected with the school are members. The whole entertainment was under the supervision of Mr. Brice and Miss Maggie Robinsou, and much of the success of the performance was due to their efforts We hope the Literary Club may see fit to give another performance, and with their small experience they no donbt will be still more proficient. Crops in tiie County..The following partial report of the crop prospects in Fairfield county appears in the last monthly report of the Department of Agriculture: "W. 1 Tl,n cTM'ino- lir.e i.u» ^5tnr «i.yv* °l/l 4,*6 UMO been too cold, and on gray lands rather too wet for wheat and oats.

The following communication appeal's in the News and Courier: In your supplement of the 31st alt., in the article entitled the "Battle of Drewry's Bluff," you print concerning "officers and men mentioned for gallant conduct" in Hagood's Brigade, "in Seventh Battalion, South Caroliua Volunteers. Bersrt. J. E. Onbw Com- panv H., color-bearer, killed." There was no Onby in that command. Sergt. A. P. Irbv, of Company H, was wounded at Drewry's Bluff on the 16th, and promoted as ensign "for gallantr»" on the 25th May, 1864. He is living, an honored and respected citizen of Laurens county. The first color-bearer killed at Die wRlnfF wfis R<vo+_ .T. "FT. (Intz. of Company H, Edgefield." The next killed was Sergt. J. B. Robertson, of Company B, Fairfield. The colore then fell to Sergt. George W. Kennington, of Company F; Lancaster, who was badly wounded. The fourth colorbearer was Sergt. Preston Cooper, of Company B, Fairfield. Both of the latter were living at the last time I heard of them. Young Cooper brought out the flag. Its staff was riddled and shot in two, and its foulds had fifty-seven new bnl- icl-iivjus tuiuugu tuuuli aiiu. -acic as cleau as 011 the day of their presentation, without a single rent or stain. War. M. Thohas. Charleston, S. C., June 2, 1882. Judge Thomas is in error when he says that Sergt. A. P. Irby "is living an honored and respected citizen of Laurens county.'7 Mr. Irby is a citizen of Fairfield and not of Laurens. Mr. Cooper referred to in the communication above was afterwards shot in the leg at the battle of "Weldon Roads witn rue same oaiue nag in ms uauus. From this wound Mr. Cooper lost his leg. It might be well to add that every one of the color guard was killed or shot down except Mr. Cooper and the flag though punctured with fifty-seven bullet-hoTes not a one of the thirteen stars were touched. ._ THE CKOSBY INSTITUTE. The Closing Exerclses---An Acaceiny of which Fairfield Should Be Proud. The Crosby Institute closed with afive days examination on the 13th inst. The exercises on the last day, which were as usual well attended, were entirely voluntary with the pupils and A' wholly extemporaneous, the Board having acted on the advanced conviction that the pnpils should struggle of their own accord for the acquisition of ready, practical knowledge; and that it is on the whole better for the pupils to fail, if necessary, in an examination than for the public to be even tempo- ramy deceived with elaborate displays whose preparation bad squandered away perhaps two months of valuable time. The brevity of the time demanded a mutilation of the progrmme. The part exhibited consisted of competitive skill from volunteers in spelling with lirt/YL- nn hlf>f>thnards. fn f which there were about a thousand square feet), and "by heart;" in reading; in writing on paper and blackboards ; in arithmetic; in debating the subject, "Which should wc make our surplus crop, Cotton or Grain?; in singing; and in fancy needle-work. All these were agreeably interspersed An/1 W% rVMIt-1 A Willi VUUU UiJU iliaii uuioiv j and the occasion appeared to be one of much credit to the competitors, of entire satisfaction to the patrons, and of greaj enjoyment (o "one and all." The competition was so close as to render the decisions of the Awarding Committee a matter of some embarrassment. The following prizes, fciven by thu Principal and awarded by the various committees, were presented in his ususl nappy oy tne itev. jui\ jyianonvue butter-dish to Miss Mary L. Weir, for best spelling- with the book; one pocket knife to Mr. Ohas. A. McLurkin for best spelling on blackboard; one preserve-dish to Miss Sallie C.

Seeiug what we have seen so well wrought out, contrary to all the established views in teaching, we must believe that this Institute, which has vis t- 1. loiy cuuu; iu uiijuy me re&ywi, uuuudeuce, esteem and well-wishing of all the intelligence of the surrounding country, is evidently destined to retire some of the treasured tenets of pedagogy, and marks a new educational era-.for this section. That it deserves >nq4ess and is rapidly "vvir.niyg it cauiiwhs doubted by any o»o wlio attend thcimpromptu examinations. THE DEMOCRATIC CX.VJJS. The "Winnsboro Club.

The following communication appeal'sin the News and Courier:In your supplement of the 31st alt.,

in the article entitled the "Battle ofDrewry's Bluff," you print concerning"officers and men mentioned for gallantconduct" in Hagood's Brigade,"in Seventh Battalion, South CaroliuaVolunteers. Bersrt. J. E. Onbw Com-panv H., color-bearer, killed."There was no Onby in that command.Sergt. A. P. Irbv, of Company H,

was wounded at Drewry's Bluff onthe 16th, and promoted as ensign "forgallantr»" on the 25th May, 1864. Heis living, an honored and respectedcitizen of Laurens county.The first color-bearer killed at DiewRlnfFwfis R<vo+_ .T. "FT. (Intz. of

The fourth colorbearerwas Sergt. Preston Cooper, ofCompany B, Fairfield. Both of thelatter were living at the last time Iheard of them.Young Cooper brought out the flag.

Its staff was riddled and shot in two,and its foulds had fifty-seven new bnl-icl-iivjus tuiuugu tuuuli aiiu. -acic as

Charleston, S. C., June 2, 1882.Judge Thomas is in error when he

says that Sergt. A. P. Irby "is livingan honored and respected citizen ofLaurens county.'7 Mr. Irby is a citizenof Fairfield and not of Laurens.Mr. Cooper referred to in the communicationabove was afterwards shot inthe leg at the battle of "Weldon Roadswitn rue same oaiue nag in ms uauus.

From this wound Mr. Cooper lost hisleg. It might be well to add that everyone of the color guard was killed or

shot down except Mr. Cooper and theflag though punctured with fifty-sevenbullet-hoTes not a one of the thirteenstars were touched.

A'

wholly extemporaneous, the Boardhaving acted on the advanced convictionthat the pnpils should struggle oftheir own accord for the acquisition ofready, practical knowledge; and thatit is on the whole better for the pupilsto fail, if necessary, in an examinationthan for the public to be even tempo-ramy deceived with elaborate displayswhose preparation bad squanderedaway perhaps two months of valuabletime. The brevity of the time demandeda mutilation of the progrmme. Thepart exhibited consisted of competitiveskill from volunteers in spelling with

William F. "Watt.

Ah! how sad to give back to earth one

so loved, so noble and so good, whose win- .

ning smile attracted all; one so eminently \qualified to complete our happiness here. 1

but, alas, tbe choicest fruit in the vineyard wasalso known to our Heavenly Father. ]TTo \vjic waller! to that far awav home of the f

soul. His favorite song was "Home of the <

Soul". IIow often have I listed to his jdear voice in singing these"words:£"Oh, how sweet it will ho in that beautiful <

land,So free from all sorrow and pain;

"With songs on our lips and with harps inour hands, ,

To meet one another again."Mr. Watt was born and raised in Fairfieldcounty^ South Carolina. He married

Miss Sallic J. Bell, of Mississippi, andmoved to Lind Grove, Louisiana, about t

1839, where for thirty-three years he made 5

his home. Two years ago he moved to. \Starkville, Mississippi, where after a long ]illness and much suffering he died on the <

29th ult. lie was a patient suiierer, ana

liis death was that of a Christian. liesaid he was "going home." For many .

years he was a member of the Methodistchnreli and superintendent of the SundaySchool at Lind Grove. The Lord Ibveth a

cheerful giver, then how surely he lovedhim, for lie "visited the Fatherless andWidows in their afflction" and many athome and abroad have cause to bless himfor his charii*^. lie leaves a wife and son

to mourn his luss. (

Oh, fond wife, who for thirty-five yearswas liis loving companion, grieve not wu .

much.your loss is his eternal gain, and in '

a little while you will meet the husband 1

you love so well. I never saw a more do- jvoted couplc.

"No frost, ;Their home's threshold ever crossed, \Com'e what might of good or ill, <Mutual love kept shining still,

Andwhen life some joy denied.Love still found them side by side,With the trust tney learneu xo snow,Five and thirty years ago."Though it had been many years since

Mr. Watt had lived in Fairfield, he stillloved the place of his birth, and oftenspent his summers here with his manyrelatives and friends. Such visits were as

bright oases to his relatives here who lovedhim so fondly; but, alas! our dear relativehas crossed that bourne from whence no
