ABBEVILLE'S LOSS AND NEWBER- P< t RY'S GAIN. u A 0?1 l,v) -nT^AM^n opienuiu ty CUUH15. i I IK Cokesbury was the scene of a bvillitnt, ai wedding on Wednesday evening last, to which took place in the Methodist to Church before a large assembled audi- rc ence of invited guests. Maj. J. F. J.!si (.'aidwell, a gallant Confederate officer Vi in the late war and now a prominent!tr member of the Newberry .Bar, at 8 h< o'clock, led the beautiful Miss Rebecca| b; C. Connor, up theaisleof the church to m the altar, where the Jtcv. Mr. Barbour administered the marriage vows of the Methodist church in the most impressive manner. After the marriage the I'1 bride and groom, together with the nt-jta tendants and other invited guests repair- I'' ed to the mansion of the bride's father, 'l v a ('nnnnr. where this elcjrantl company were entertained in a princely co manner. The following named persons wefle groomsmen and bridesmaids on !)f th ilVi 11 teresting occasion : 1,1 C. H. Suber, Esq., Miss A. Connor; J. ur IS. Snowies, E>q., Miss Lou 11. Gary; O. I*?>chumpert, Esq., Miss Hodges; .J. ].;? J^.^FHir, Est]., Miss Jennie Connor ; Dr. a{r L. Connor, Miss Fannie JHerndon; j? CJeorge Johnstone, Miss Ella Aiken. j/ The gentlemen represented Newberry jji while the todies represented Cokesbury. ry Abbeville has lost one of her best , young ladies,- and one who will be'missed in the social circle. We extend our congratulations to our Newberry friend I)C in his good fortune. * sc Laurens and Her Thieves. -){n ra A number of gentlemen in Laurens he county have prepared and published in the Ilcrald, an able and well-timed address to the people in that county, from bl which we make the following extract.: Vl Fellow-citizens, we have a capital tj. country. Its resources are almost illim- j. itablc; we breathe a fresh, pure air, a ' ' friendly sky fruitful in fructifying sea- {? sons, is smiling upon us, invitin'g us to labor, enterprise and prosperity. Our ' water courses are ever urging lis to mil- da i/e their wasted wealth in creating use- co fill and beautiful fabrics; we have a Al brave and generous and working white an iK)i>ulation: we have the best laboringjan class for our Agricultural purposes in T1 the whole world : we have a soil that wi can be made to produce the Cereals and Cotton almost to perfection. * * * The "Cotton .Shops" impose r. fearful j>t tax uj)on the cotton-growing interest. e|) The illicit traffic in cotton is a steadily growing cancer upon the industrial in- j tcrests of the County. It discourages L0 the employer: it demoralizes and degrades the laborer: it is an additional tire brand in the community. It is one to of the great difficulties in the way of las progress. * lil The evil is deeply planted, and is pe steadily growing every year. Almost tV< every neighborhood can furnish ilitis- di' trations of the fecundity of a few acres. , One man said he fertilized his patch jn with a barrel or two of whiskey, and Mt gathered in fifteen or twenty bales. An-| j other invested a few dollars in ribbon and calico, and sent almost a car-load t?f"|"t|)i cotton to i. nanesion. i ^(j Cotton is a plant that requires ajinost j. endless toil, ami the staple ought not to I go in enriching a few at the expense ofi us all. We, the citizens of New Pros- to pect community, call upon our fellow- ca citizens throughout, the County, irres- pa pective of party or color, or class, to co join us heartily in the good work. It is j Fi iiu evil that dccp'y touches the prosper- an ity of the County. I A. We, the laborers and cotton growers, Jin ask our honorable and hightninded mer- ve chants: we ask our industrious median-j ? ies ami arti/.Hiis : we ask our professional j i men: we ask our magistrates: we ask} our courts, and especially do we ask our! press: we farmers and laborers, a*k all | classes of our citizens?for the well-be- ' ingof all classes depend upon the first T rough work that we do in the sun and j ' wind?to aid us in the effort to remove! tins evil which is threatening to take m the very heart and nerve out of oui'ag-jag, riculture. ju< I ci< After the Cottou Baggers. j We copy the following paragraph from J 'iIj the Chester Jicj/orUr of the oUth ult. i ]f we know Judge Cooke, and we thinkjell we effl, he will direct our Urand Jury tolat Investigate these pests in our County. }!->: Judge Cooke gets a chance at! an enn^h!als, if they don't sufler we are nojli> W- judgfe. The Jodge lias promised to help us get rid of these troublesome people, i eo .and we believe he will keep his word. ^L A 1>KATH Ul.OW TO T11K XKillT TltADK !1( IN C'OTTOX. !' til The suggestions of Judge Mackey to the Grand Jury at the opening of the present term of court, the strong en- to dorsement of the suggestions by the 'll Grand Jury, and the instructions deliv- l,< ered by his Honor when the report of afe' tiie Grand Jury had been read, give assurance, to a dead certainty, that the days, or rather the nights, of these re- jy eeivers of stolen ^oods will soon end. j*r Under these instructions, the Grand Ju-Jm ry, upon evidence being furnished, will i indict as a nuisance, any person who buys at night, any agricultural product, u! cotton, corn, wheat, potatoes, or any-j10 thing else, whether stolen or not The! 1)C remedy, we believe will be a? potential, jHIJ .* a sovereign one. The crops of the country being exposed to the depredations i e% of sneak-thleves and flight prowlers, I pi and the manipulations of night buyers, j it should be, and are, the obpet of the ca laws special attention. Judge Mackey is determined that the fullest protection shall be given. Uj Agricultural Fa i it. ? The Abbe-iJ|\ ville Agricultural Fair comes oil' on the 20th, 21st and 22d of October. The Greenville Fair takes place at the saute time, and will also continue three days. ,H The Anderson Fair will be helrf on the bt 27th, 2Sth and 20th. of October. The Oconee Fair comes off some time during ( ( the month of October. The State Fair js in Columbia comes off on the 9th of; or November. At all of these Fairs liberal premiums I will be distributed to the successful j ?/ competitors, and the exhibitions will;1'1 doubtless be **f a high order of merit, j11 We trust that our people are making due preparations for our own approach- ,rj ing Fair, and that no effort will be[ul spared to make it a great success. With j a brilliant and successful exhibition at i Abbeville, we will be in a condition to make a creditable display at Columbia, j perhaps bear ofF the prize there offered.pl I k the Messrs. Grenekcr, of the (i/d and Progrejsxive Ayr don't keep their:; young lawyers out of Abbeville County, i''' theie is no telling what may be the re-! suit. Not long since Captain Moorman!in made a raid on our Abbeville fair, and let /mo fif run* Invclifct tfiilifis <nifl Hr i \ "Wallace took one of ('okesbury'si ' prettiest divinities, and now J. F.

JS plished maidens. Abbeville and Newberry ought to be on good terms. ^ Farmers talk so crosswise that a true U1 .estimate of the corn crop is not getatable, but we'll wager the hind leg of a d; cross-eyed grass hopper against a bale;id of Spanish cotton that they'll be buying the grain next summer.?Etbartou Oa- t: zcfte. You're mistaken this time, Mr. Gazette. Our farmers are sowing oats. w The corn men will do poor business in this County next year. 6 Tin-: town council of Greenville ha\ ublished an ordinance against allowiti ngs to run at large in tbe streets.

Cotton is pouring into Augusta at th( ,e <?f from eight hundred to one thouud bales per day. It is being rapidly rown upon the market and sold, and u money thrown rapidiy into circulain. A. 1 though our trade is nothing extralijiary, we really have no reasou tc mplain. In the near future all ouj . rchants will be busy. Never was all inner of clothing ottered so cheap, i an example, a most excellent article calico can be bought at retail at seven tits per yard, and from that on to ten, udly anything in the line of goods foi .wing apparrel is bringing more thai] If what it did live or six years ago. Provisions are still high, particularly con, and it will forever be so until the ?uth raises its own meat. The AgriItural oflice at Washington says the lest corn crop ever made was raised is year, which means we are to have eap bread. Thank Providence we l* to have little to buy this Winter and xt Summer. Whatever may bo the situation :>rth, and it is the bluest known in ty years, there is nonnecessity for nn> e taking a gloomy view of the future the South. We have just raised ti ignificent crop of corn, wheat, oats e, barley, hay, peas, and lastly of cotj. This cotton is obliged to sell foi mething in the neighborhood of $240,),0i>0, which money will be drawn >m countries and foreigu centres and stributecl over the South. This addec the amount we have on hand will re us more cash than any other ten ilion has in this world. We mean ev y woru 01 in is. We are not the least interested pecutirily in 11113' of the smashes and crash,tramps," failing factories, and tin :e up North, 110 more than if tliej ;re in Australia. We havn't a dolhu vested in them. We are in a bomboof so far as alJ that is concerned. In:ad of being hurt by them we are bented, for all these shrinkages mean eapness for the things we have U y. This is an agricultural people. MothEarth is our only bank. When sLn Is then we will have reason to er> t "hard times."

This is the way the Cincinnati Com vrcial puts it: "TilK GREENBACK DOLLAR t the close of business yesterday was worth 85 4-5 OHM'S, r 14 1-5 cents less than a Gioid Dollar.' And the JJiujiiircr's way: ME BONDHOLDER'S DOLLAR At close of business yesterday was worth SI iWjj. 23|j cents more than the People's Dollar. nd all because of the legislation hich for the past ten years, has beei ainly directed to the appreciation o e interest bearing debt in the hands o e money nower. and the depreciatioi the non-interest-bearing debt in th< mils of the people." The Currency Question'.?Mp.ssrs sndleton, Allen and Stephens do no lvocate inflation, nor are they in favo: ' contraction. Their idea is to placi tecurrency in a healthy condition, t( ; equal to the demands of trade?n< ore and no less?to be contracted adually. and specie payments resum I through the process of legislatioi oking to that end as the condition o ie country will permit, and as business ivives afid our industrial interests be inie more prosperous.
