J?"* s I W* . '-K - r (Death of Mrs. urattox.?jh?. . Elizabeth P. Brat ton, wife of Gen. John Bratton, of Winnsboro. died at the res" ' idence of Eilward Noble, Esq., of this j)lace, of consumption, after a lingering j1 illness, on Wednesday last. She had i1 t been in feeble health for many years r past, and whilst she sustained the trials iv ? of a long illness with Christian patience j* and resignation, met the last enemy j with the same trust and confident hopejC of the true believer. She has been cut i i ^ off in the prime of life, ami leaves ai' husband, two sons and an infant to j | mourn her loss. Mrs. Bratton was the j t f sister of Rev. \V. P. DuBoso, of Sewane, ionce the beloved pastor of Trinity: church, and r&sembled him much in I^ personal appearance and in her mental j and honored traits. Her body was1 conveyed by train on Thursday morn-j^ ?' ing to Winnsboio for interment. jj We had the pleasure of greeting injt ; our office on Monday last our friend I c I Engetie B. Gary, Esq., a promising' j, 'z young member of tho Edgefield bar, (J & (vhn ic nn a short visit to Cokesburv. : 1. IN Mr. Gary is a chip oft* of (he old block : j of Garys and will no doubt make Jiis; p mark high on the scroll of fame. Welj suspect that he has now more than half ; t] a notion of coming back to Abbeville jf, to court, where he will plead a case of 0 the heart in Hymen's court, in his own { behalf, whose rulings are supreme, and v i from whose decisions there is no appeal.1 f, We wish him all the good luck that so q true a man deserves. It | t, Money Ordkr Opfick.?Our very > j, excellent and obliging Postmaster, Mr. a H. W. Laweon, furnishes us with theio following notice of change of Fees fur: o ! Domestic Money Orders. By Act of j f r Congress, approved March 187o, the i v fees for Money Orders have been chang-! ed, so that on and after the first day of! Julv. the fees or commi-sions will be as . ? follows: [s On order not exceeding ?lo 10 cents, in Over Sin and " 44 $10 T > " j?, " $30 44 44 44 $40 2>> " \0 \ 44 $40 44 44 " 25 " t ??o ? ( ^ E:?orsio.v to Jalapa.?Through (he ( | courtesy of Col. Peake, Superintendent) ? of the Laurens R. R., the citizens of our,s ' town were enabled to ride to Jalata <>i> '<? , Saturday afternoon last. About two1) j hundred ladies, gentlemen and children ^ availed themselves of the privilege, and . the expression was general that the trip j-' ? was a delightful one. ' ji We take the aln>ve from the-; e Newbcn-y llcruhl, but ho never once j v states the distance from Newhery to Ja- n 1 lapa. That is a fact that we ha*6 watch- f ed for for several weeks. j t Mr. John Darkaucii, who keeps11 the Abbeville train on the track, reads it r the Prea* and Banner, and says his, prayers ] ike a good man, has the finest, acre of cotton on the Greenville and; Columbia Railroad. Skeptics on this;x matter are requeted to cast their eyes to! ^ the left in passing the patch at his home ^ as they come to Abbeville. t v> At the skating rink we have had no j * F i \ little amusement at the efforts of begin- j : ners to learn the art of skating. On' s I Friday last Mr. Gus Mars, of Calhoun's Mills, amused the crowd of spec tat oars I which consisted of a large numl>er of ^ ladies and gentlemen, even more than: the Junior did in his recent efiorts to] \ accomplish this difficult feat. jj _ ! , ?>* i ( Our townsman Mr. James Cunnig- \ ham one afternoon last week went outic - driving some ladies after six o'clock.? Everything went well until he got op- f posite Col. J. T. Robertson when the J front axle broke. Mr. Cunningham and the ladies from that, point took tho peo- j pie's line without farther accident. j | The Rev. Thos. A. Morton, of Long | Cane, sent us the finest specimen of a! ' cotton stalk tbat we have seen. It was \ r over two feet high and had a number of t squares ready to bloom. He has a field s Fj of the same sort. < j c ^ ; r Thantcs.?Our friends at Donaldsville! t and Greenwood who lavored us with I j their dots last week are requested to so ; v again. Their favors are highly appre-!a ciated, and will add interest to our pa- \ 1 ^ -- _ Ifi There is so much courting going on 1 in Abbeville that we think we should |t \have a park, delightfully shaded, with c \ a fountain in the middle. It would be e a great help to love's young dream. ji c , We should judge that the Crews ex- 1 cue merit nas aooui piaycu out. Auam ; t ^Prews was arrested the other day and j I was released 011 his own recognizance ( r r*?30a.oo v - jF o j t Prof. Esmond, the skating rink man,' says that Abbeville beats the world 011 beautiful flower gardens. We think lie j. is right in this particular. j ^ *<*? jfc We are indebted to Mr. ii. c. DuFre,' ji the printer, for a neatly printed copy of i he catalogue of the Due West Female ;s .College. j f; ?

At Greenwood, DonaldsviJle, )ue West and Dorn's Mine, Mr. Jones tiforms us umt tne puoyic uuvt u^aiiv* 11 made returns, but at other "points the ctarijs are not so general., t - * The Auditor will be at Xown.lesviHe Thursday, Friday and Saturday of'thif reek, and at Blaak and MC*Adams 011 lie Gtli and 7th of July.. We would emind our readers of the necessity ol lot neglecting the opportunity of ma;ing their returns* Mr. J. V. Jones, Assistant Auditor, ays he found in Tadhui Hill 011c legro, George Postell, 05 years old, the uther of tweuty-one children. Mr. Tones reports the finest grain crops 011 he Cambridge lands known in years. The new County movement, he says, s creating considerable talk throughout he County. We learn that the new bounty is pretty generally opposed cxopt by those living in the localit}' ol lie proposed new Court House.

The organization of the white lub it seems gave new vigor and activty to the inactivity and dormant patri <->f tho colored company which lad not shouldered a musket for months. Ls our readers well know the colored >eople are a superstitious race and sus>icious of the whites, and any movement of this kind, it seems, tends to Dster an unnatural feeling of distrust f their white neighbors, and unites hem more firmly in opposition to the i-hitcs. This is a common government, :>r the taxation and protection of all. )ur interests are identical, and anything hat alienates one class from another is o be regretted.

We appreciate the! cultivation of flowers, but think if thei present labor on such flowers were di-l vided between bees and flowers that the labor would be equally as pleasant I much more remuneration to the owner I We learn that Mr. John II.

Ousted.?Judge Cooke In his charge to the Grand Jury at Tl Greenville' delivered a tcmperancc ad- in drcs3 in which he says : Ci Even in enlightened Greenvillo city, io standing within the shadows of her j)( mountains, Nature's grandest display of God's creative power, through which man, unaided by revelation, can look fc up to Him [and see the curling smoke io ascending to high heaven, from the fires'^ on the mountain side, froui whose de-i^ lightful fountains (lie pure juice of 1 lie j corn and rye runs from early morn tillj^1 dewy eve] and learn something of his will ( and pleasure. And added to all Unseal the postive commandment of high liea-jyt veil, "Remember the Sabbath-day toj. keep it holy," seems to have no eflectj in the interest of common decency, to ill' say nothing of blameless Christian con- lo duct. Many of your people forget that "the Lord blessed the Sabbath-day and hallowed it." but keep their barmoms open and say that they do belter ice business on thi:s than any other day. I n, "Over forty witnesses had been sum- , moned; thirty-six juroinen were in attendance, ami it would have required at least three days fur the Judge to have ,K taken down his notes of the evidence. . AH this was avoided, and the entire testimony, sutflcieiit in bulk to fill every column of the jYcu'k, was taken in one to day. The people of Anderson should appreciate highly such economical action 011 the part of Judge Cooke, and I M will doubtless do so."?Greenville News, j t j The Ncwh didn't say who-took the j jn evidence in one duv that would navel n * l required Judge Cooke three days to take. As to who took the evidence that j ( i 3 of no consequence. It. only goes toia] prove what we have said before, that ^ .fudge Cooke is indeed a plow coach.

The Reasox the Ladies atje not Masons.?The orator of the day at Cokes- 01 bury stated as one of the reasons for ex- C eluding the ladies from Masonic Lodges " that the order taught brotherly love.

C; Abbeville County, without a doubt hasjthe best School Commissioner in the j( State, and the office is a perfect model of si neatness and correctness. Abbeville was p was fortunate in fretting so good a man. We will in a little while speak more fully of the workings of this office, and n the advantage of having so good an ofli- j cial in that most important office. Ouit friend Major Galphin is popular s with the ladies and is ever ready to serve ,, them in gallantry, but a fair maiden re" n eently got the advantage of him by asking him to change a hundred and lifty dollars. lie said he couldn't change e more than lifty dollars these hard times,! ] but said he hoped to be able to change j] the balance next Fail when lie sells hisj cotton crop. j e Prov.

"The same opin11 is expresed bA" the Richmond Distich., and that paper holds that in a \v years negro suffrage will be as dissteful to the .North, as it is now to the tuth. Such a result may be brought tout in Georgia and other Southern ates wive re the whites form, the great >dy of the population, but we think iat South Carolina will have to wait ng for the promised issue. ?>?. ?

The New Xork Bulletin, of the 22d, jays: The market for "spots" has been quiet and without particular interesting points Lo advise. A few purchases have bt'en made on home account, and one or two exporters were looking around with hints that the business has been a little larger than reported, but the demand was neither active or general, and buyers as a rule seemed indifterent. Prices remain as last quoted and about steady with no urgency on the part of holders to force the sale of their stocks, but the jfTerings were fair, and an assortment wild lie found without difiiculty by any jne wanting it. The public advices "rom Liverpool to-day were firmer, but H-ivnte accounts not confirmatory there >f, indeed, in some eases rather of a con:rary tenor, and exporters in consequence were quite indisposed to come orward with any freedom. On contracts there has been sonic irrejularity without nuicli animation. At he opening tlicre was an advance of ihont 1-lfle. on tlie firmer tone of the niblic dispatch from Liverpool, but, his jeintc contradicted through private sour es, the market lost improvement, and nade a still further decline of 1-ltiy., , vith business dull. During the after-1 10011 there was a^ain a tendency toward J l shade more steadiness based on disisifph from Washington announcing the' >ackward condition of the plant through- j >uta portion of fhecotton belt.
