It is suggested that a lamp at the corner of the Presbyterian church or in the open space in front of Mrs. Norwood's gate would be a great convenience to pedestrians at night. It would give light to four ntreets. Change has been exceedingly scarce in Abbeville for some time. Can't some of our enterprising merchants order a few huddred dollars worth ? It would relieve the pressure very much. The Abbeville Baptist Association inut in i/ue west mst weetc. in<;ro mere about thirty delegates present. Mr. Junius II.

Mr. John McDill got off the best joke of the season on Dr. Nathan Henry one day last week. Inquire of the Doctor, how it was that he catno in possession of that "horse and buggy," but be sure you are out of striking distance. The boys are gunning around town now and leport plenty of birds. We see the Maharajah Dulipsing killed 450 birds on his English estate in one day. What do our Nimrods say to this. The Misses Britt of Long Cane are guests of Mrs. H. M.Johnson. 1 Mr. J. L. Pressly is now the efficient Lihrarain and Treasurer of the A. It. P. Sabbath School. The Baptist communion came off at Little lliver last Sabbath. A very large crowd was out and ltev.

Tho St. Louis Post-Dispatch com plimonts Cole's Circus very highly ii the following manner : ''The perforin ance was, without question, one of th< very bust ever given here, and demon strated most perfectly that it is not nec essary for enterprising managers t< keep in the same stereotyped track ii presenting attractions. Cole's Circus ii full of new and novel features, not on ly demonstrating remarkable ingenuity in the selection of the features, but als< involving remarkable skill in presenting them. The double ring and clevate< stage are occupied constantly and give a the same time varied and non-conflict ing performances, which can he appreci nted and enjoyed at the same time The Bedouin Arabs, the Mexican exhi bition, the equestrian pig and monkey tne artistic and grotesque roller skaters the mnrvplous "human flv." M'lln Ai. mee, th 2 athletes, bare-back riding, th< clowns and the riding of Leon, the won der, and the daring feats of Georg< Conklin, the lion tamer, are bat a tithi of the multitude of features offered a his great show. The doublo ineeage rie, the museum and wax work collec tion, the two headed cow, the herd o performing elephants, headed by thf monster Sampson, and the equine wonder, Blodin, the tight-rope wAlkinf horse, may also be mentioned as won derfully interesting features. In a word Cole's Circus is, beyond a doubt, one o the best ever exhibited iu St. Louis, ant so far as keeping up with the times ii concerned, it may be said to bo leadinj other shows in the matter of novelti and attractiveness. Afternoon am evening performances will bo given daily."

South Carolina, 23rd Novem bur, 1848?Married in New Orleans. 23r( fl* December, 1884?Died in New York 4th, August, 1885. I. Charles Ward law was the younges 1 child of liobert H. Wardlaw and hii it wife Eliza llowie, the youngest of i family of twelve sons and one daughter Of these, only the aged father and foui ? of his sons survive. Charles was bori at the homestead on the outskirts o Abbeville, a town which owes not a lit 0 tie of its historic lustre to thy family name he bore. Here he lived ant ' thrived until a lad of sixteen years hi k loft school, joined the Confederati army as a private and went to the war he being the ninth son whom his fathei k and mother had- suffered to leave theii quiet home and march to the scenes o strife and death. Of these nine broth ? ers two grtve up their lives to theii Southern conntrv's nniiRo Affnr ?K< P war in the universal wreck of fortune! in South Carolina, anxious to help hif parents as best he might, Charles Ward r law followed the- plough on the hom< plantation for nearly five years. There e after he went to Augusta, Georgia ?f where he modestly took the lowest po sition in a commercial house, and b} s merit ho rose higher, until at the end ol e seven years he filled the highest oflic< in that house. From Augusta he weni to New York and filled a responsible " post in the house oTMooro, Jenkins ?S * Co., until it failed about five years ago when ho was immediately employed bj n the groat metropolitan house of Thurher, Whyland tfc Co. He was held ir the highest esteem bjT all in that emporium, from the principals to the humblest clerk, in their service ; and in thai service he was steadily and honorably advancing. Just last Christmas h( brought. liis frmn V.?w Hi-Linna? r Jeanie, daughter of A. J. Wither spoon, D. 1)., brought her to Abbeville i, and his own friends and hit: father'f il friends well remember how his frank fact beamed with joy at the kindness an(3 1^ warmth of the welcome given to hei e he loved a*-- truly. At the close of tin (1 season of holiday and merriment, he reA turned to New York, his young wife f accompanying him. Young, strong, in the flush and vigoi . of manhood, trusted, respected and be, loved by all, to our shortsighted ken il j seemed that Charles Wardlaw had only just begun along, successful and honH orable career in the world of commerce, whose close should not be until that ripe old ago to which the long live* . of his parents and their progenitors might have tempted him to look for ward. c On the third of last August advised 3 so to do by his physicians, he went tr S the New Y'ork hospital to submit to t e pimple operatiun in surgery. In perfect health and with buoyant spirits he bade e his friends goodbye, told them where 1 he was going and that he would sec If (Kom v# ?

In the morning it is green and groweth up. in the evening it is cut down, dried u|? and withered. The impression made on his frienda ? here and elsewhere bv th 2 tidings of his ~ death, so sudden and so sad, will not soon he forgotten. It was hard for any 5 of us his friends to believe or coiupre] hend that his light and joyous spirit s was quenched in the night of death. But life had closed for him, swift as the eve ^ of tropic sun, "which sinks at once and ^ all is night." 5 Few men of his years had as many t friends as Charles Wardlaw, and very few deserved to have them as did he. Attractive in personal appearance to an unusual degree, he was still more so in * his manners and his character. Who that ever met him failed to lit; charmed ' by his genial manners, the outward to' ken of a warm heart and a sound head Y " While his strength of understanding, _ decision of character and high sense of duty, impressed every one who knew ~ him.. In his heart and life, in his walk and t conversation, he filled up the measure of a gentleman, and a true son of South ' Carolina. He was pious too. with a piP cty that waK the more beautiful because ; so unassuming; its modesty was proof [ of its sincerity. What he was to those r of his own household, to hit aged pal rents, to his brothers, to their wives and children, the world will never know, j From the venerable father to the last j born grand-child, ho was the loved of s all; and they for his sake will comfort r as they only can the sorrow-stricken * wife, so lately a bride, so soon a widow, j When the young soldier falls in battle, the cloud of sorrow is fringed with glory. When the legislator or profes' sional man is struck down in the pride of VOUth and on tho ihrnshnld nt' h\a f fame, an admiring public mourns his death. And shall we be silent when the young man of business dies, albeit he has passed his days iu that less public walk of life where commerce holds b her sway ? We may all learn a lesson > from the life of Charles Wardlaw. He " lived and worked as one who knew that by being diligent in business he was a serving the Lord; and when he died, i old and young, rich and poor, did him 4 honor and mourned over his erave. j The great morchant whom he served so faithfully, said to those he left behind in the house of business: "In your - lives and in the conduct of iny business let Charlie Wardlaw be your example." And the little message boy, humblest in that vast establishment, with tears in hie I, eyes begged to be allowed to give a few e pence tohelp to buy the flowers thai e decked his bier. ? Thus lived, thus died Charles Coffin ? Wardlaw. his too short life an example to all of love and duty to God and man. Ho was gathered to his fathers and i. lies in Long Cane church-yard. Abbee villo.
