*B'faifle$', Dr. J. W. Thomas.
few days ago we had the pleasHire
of meeting Mr. james M. Latimer,
nr., a prominent farmer of the Lowndes*ville
section, He is a strong believer in
'enriching farming lands, aud thinks it
indispensible to successful farming, but
he thinks the only profitable way of
Improving lands is by the home-made
Airtitiiam Wir cpvpi-mI Wftrs wnee the
war, he used the best guano ever in the
market, and one year used live hundred
dollars worth, and has never been able,
to see that he was benefitted in the least
by its application. He now works in
the old way of enriching his lands from
his stables and lot, and the result is
most satisfactory. He has one patch of
<two and a half acres, which in 187-' and
1873 made each year live bales of cotton'
?two bales to the acre. This year,
owiug to the drought, he thinks that he
will not get more than six thousand
pounds of seed cotton from the same
Aaad. For years his wheat farm has
tbeea one of the most productive in the
tjommunity in which lie lives, and he
thinks the good yield is the result of
using the home-made fertilizers. Mr.
iiatimer thinks our country cannot
prosper as long as thousands of the
planters' money Is thrown uwsy in the
purchase of worthless commercial fertilizers,
'The Ii'kotcre ox English Poetry.
?According to previous announcement,
;the Rev. E. Jt. Miles delivered his
"'Lecture on English Poetry," to an
Attentive and appreciative audience on
.Friday evening last. The lecture occupied
an honr and flfteeu minutes in the
^eiivery, *nd was listened to with
xuarked interest to the close. It presented
an attractive review of the history
of the "divine art," from Chancer to
Tennyson, and was embellished
throughout with sparkling gems from
the rich treasure-house of English
literature. Chaucer, Bhakesjieare, Miltoil,
Dryden, Cowper, Goldsmith, Gray,

Tbe.?addross was an admirable effort,
;nnd cm.ld not fail to awaken a responsive
echo in the audience.
The Abbeville Fair.?We publish
In another column, lists of the committees
appointed to make awards of premiums
at the approaching Fair, as well
as a progrmme of exercises, and the regulations
to be observed on the occasion.
_ The committees have been selected from
the best people of the county, and their
intelligence and character afford a guarantee
that proper discrimination will be
exercised, auif the utmost fairness exttihltori

programme of exercises presents its usual
attractions, and will doubtles draw
out a large crowd. In addition to the
exhibition by day, an attractive enter-j
taininent will be furnished on one of the
nights, (Thursday) by the young people,
hi the way of charades &c., which will
add raucu to the general enjoyment.
"We tr?stte see a fine display and active
competition, in all the departments, and
a zealous co-operation on the part of the
public to make the Fair a great success.
\Ve expect to see a large crowd.
H8T We had the pleasure of meeting
Tnlm T Millpr. Tt!fan nil \ronrl>iv Inch
who had beeu in attendance upon the
laying of the corner stone of the Piedmont
Manufacturing Company's building
in Greenville, on the Saturday previous.
A Lodge of Master Masons was
opened at the residence of Col. Hammett,
the Presideut of the Company,
and formed a procession, moving down
to the site of the factory, and laid the
corner stone with the formalities of the
Masonic. order. Considerable interest
-was manifested in the enterprise, and
"we have no doubt that the building will
be a pride and honor to the public spirit
and enterprise of the citizens of Greenville.
It will be second ill importance
to none in the State.
Mr. G. \V. Bo wen, a sterling
citizen of the upper section of the County,
has been lately on a visit to relatives
in Arkansas and Mississippi. He rej*)rts
short crops of cotton and grain,
and returns better pleased than ever with
his home in Abbeville. His relatives,
he says, would be glad to get back, it
they could do so without a sacrifice.
His advice to his friends is, to stick tc
the old homestead. He saw no place in
the West he liked as well as Abbeville.
Don't go West.
HSF The man who fed his hogs on
strychnine to keep thieves from killing
and eating them, hasn't got any hogf
now He had as little practice in giving
physic as a Confederate army surgeon,
and gave too much. He has
since then gone into the soap business
aud has been able to furnish all the soaj
Sroase he wanted without patronizing
is neighbors. A man never kuowi
what a day may bring forth. We sup
pose, two weeks ago, that Mr. Wm
Purdy. of the Cedar Spriugs neighbor
bood, had lio idea of goiug into any sucl
a business.
A Charleston firm has reccnth
liad two big boards put up near ou

boards now stand, they have their back
to the business portion of the townmerely
out of modesty, we presume
That's the way they should be put u[
they will do the least harm in that wa^
,as very few will ever find out what is o
them.

Longkel.i.o'w's New Poi:?r. ? " The
> I Hanging of the Crane/' is the title of J:i
beautiful poem which the most popular
of the masters of American verse has!
just given to the public. The title designates
the first act in housekeeping on
the part of a youthful couple, and the
poem, in its soft melliffluous verse, presents
the several phases of a happy life
, drama, from the first "house-warming,"
. to the ''golden wedding," with its f)leasi
ant memories and joyful surroundings.
. The poem is in the* author's happiest
mood, and its happy pictures of nuptial
love and graceful imagery, drawn from
every phase of domestic life, show the
hand of a master. It is destined to be a
classic, and its choice phrases to live in
the memory. Though somewhat long
for publication in a newspaper, we are
tempted to give it to our readers.

man living in the vicinity of Hodges',
Was killed on last Friday night by the
falling of a tree, which was cut down by
a party of hunters. The tree in falling
took an unexpected course, and thus
caused the death of the deceased. An
inquest was held by Thomas Williamson,
Trial Justice, and a verdict rendered
in accordance with the above <
facts.
A large meeting of Conservatives and ,J
Independent Republicans was held in '
Charleston on Thursday last, to protest
against the appointment of C. C. Bowen,
B. H. Hoyt and Peter Gregorie, jis Commissioners
of Election, and to seek their 1
removal, on the ground that the two <
first named are utterly corrupt. The <
meeting was presided over by the Hon. I
H. D. Lesesne, and was composed of the
best md most prominent citizens of the .
place. |
CoL James Edward Calhoun was in i

thinksMou 1 ton is the best of the party, j
Thecommittee in his opinion was organised

ought to excoriate the guilty pastor, ]

the public have had enough already. J
We are glad to see our In ten- s

his feet. He has had a severe spell of f
sickncss, but is himself again. He has I
in contemplation various repairs and j
improvements upon our streets and r
sidewalks, which will conduce much to
the convcnicnce of the public. He will
approve himself, we are sure, a compe- :
tent and efficient officer, and we wish t
him a prosperous term."

Coming to the Court House is <
sometimes attended with trouble and
jdanger. On last Sale Day Mr. J. G. E.
Bell, a reliable citizen of the Lowndesville
neighborhood, was on his road here '
bright and early Monday morning, and
when crossing a deep ford of a creek,
his horse lay down in the mud ami i
water. Mr. Bell had to get out in the |
creek and help him to his feet again.
BgL. Mr. John Faulkner, an esteemed ]
citizen of the Long Cane neighborhood, ,
died at his residence on the 1st October
of a congestive chill, aged seventy-two .
years. He was a man of high character, ]
an energetic and useful citizen, and enjoyed
the esteem and respect of his i
neighbors. ^
Wild Pigkons.?Large flocks of wild
pigeons, uumbering thousands upou
thousands, were continually passing
over our town, on Saturday, Sunday,
and Monday last, moviug from East to
West. Such large flocks have not been
seeu here in twenty years past. Some
of the birds alighted in the woods, and
a number were killed.

Joe seems to have sought the vicinity

J will likely get his deserts.
: Col. M. O. Tolman, who is one
of the most intelligent planters of this
Comity, was in towu on Monday last.
He believes guano to be a great draw1
