I The Press and Banner. Wednesday, Feb. 28,1877. Honoring the Dead. Mr. J. K. White, of Greenville, S. C., is in this county with a cement that mends broken crockery, glass, wood or any thing else, making it stronger than it was before it was broken. On Monday last he went to Long Cane Cemetery and mended the broken toomb-stone which marks the foiita llirt (liiut- of r.ioilf ir I"\V. Selleck, the gallant officer who first raised the Palmetto flag on the walls of Mexico. Several years ago the simple marble slab which marks his grave wan broken by a falling tree, and it has remained broken on the ground ever since, until Mr. White put it in its proper place on Monday last. This work, we believe Mr. White performed, at the suggestion of Mr. T. M. Christian who bore the! expense. New Lamp Chimneys. The glass works in Brooklyn are making glass that won't break.; Their lamp chimneys can be used for! driving nails into boards, and can stand cold water when heated, with-j out harm, while their plates, thrown into the air twenty-five feet and fall-j ingon a brick floor are unbroken. What n blessed thing it would be fori this community if Mr. Lawson, or Doc- j tor Parker, or anybody else, would bring just a few of those chimneys this way. But they won't do it, unless they are willing to go out of the lamp-chimney business in about two weeks. The Carolina Military Institute' at! Charlotte. This excellent institution is now in a flourishing condition ami oilers spo- j eial inducements to young gentlemen i seeking an education at a very small ! cost. The Institution is in charge of j Col. J. 1\ Thomas, an accomplished j gentleman, and an excellent teacher.', The health of the place was never bet- j ter, as he informs us in a recent letter, | and we should be pleased to see Al>be-! ville well represented in this supe- j rior institution of learning. Will You do it. Will our friends plant a full supply of corn and other things necessary for the sustenance of man and beast? We never cati be independent until this is done, and we have had experience enough to convince us of this fact. "Cotton and credit" have been] the curse of the country and will continue to curse it until they are abandoned. * j Laukkns lms a good college build-] jng on an clligible lot, and the llcraUi j proposes that the citizens of that place make an effort to secure the location! of the Lutheran Newberry College at | that place which is now at Walhalla. ] t seems to us that Laurens stands a| good chance, if the proper dibit is jnade. Taking the Town ijy Stokm.? About twelve "drummers" or commercial tourist", made a raid on this town one afternoon last week, besides any number of stray t or odd fellows who have come and gone every day. They are cxhibitingsample goods and taking orders. Miss Linda Ki.rotf, died suddenly at the residence of her brother Mr. Wesley Klugh, near Greenwood, on Wednesday last. She was in her usual health when she fat down to breakfast, but before she had finished the morning's meal, she was taken .'udclenly ill; and died before the physician krrived. It is impolite to send a lady an ugly comic Valentino, and then when she gets it, its so provoking when Mr- Ja.s. Lawsou informs her that lie didn't sell it or has lorgotten to whom lie sow It. li'a useless iu u)- k> iiiiu out the sender by asking Mr. Lawson. lie won't tell. Tim indications are that there will he much less land in cultivation thi> year than heretofore. There has never been as little demand for mules at this seasou as there is now. Xearly none have been sold, while hundreds of horses and mules have died from starvation, during the past year. In fancy we are listening lo the peal of wedding bells, which clearly tell of the mating of a batchelor friend and ?no matter, we will not whisper who. Only wait, and you may read in the place where kindred events are wont to be recorded. Is it Thur.?It is reported that one Robinson, who was suspected by sonant the time, of the killing Shed, has since died, and before his death confessed the crime for which Hanks was Iiung here two years ago, on circumstantial evidence. If cows ever think, we wonder what Mr. L. I). Bowie's old black cow's cogitations are on Sunday morning when she comes down oil the square - and finds not a single country wagon from which to steal a lunch or a< bunch of {odder. Mk. axd Mk.?. Hussy and Miss Slaughter, of the Range have been j guests at the Alston House since ourj last publication. Miss Slaughter is a handsome young lady and much ad-1 mired. Mr. and Mrs. Hussy have! been married for ten or 'fifteen years. I You know the rest. We suggest that the various con-1 gregations of tins place get clocks foi l their churches, so that the preacher! will not be compelled to stop a dis-| course, when the hearer is most inter- j csted, to pull out his watch to see r what time it is. The report is contradicted that Mr.! Hayes will decline the office to which I Mr. Tilden was elected. Mr. Hayes I is not that kind of a man. I$y ihc way, what kind of a man is Mr. j Hayes. This talk about anybody's assasinat- ! i ng Hayes is insane folly. Hayes will assasinate his own character and ' his party when he is inaugurated as| our Fraudulent President, anil that is j assassination enough. \ The New Hampshire election takqgj place next month, and desperate eff forts are to be made by the Radicals to elect all the members of Congress from the State. Money and orators are to be sent there in abundance. Thekk are four large and elegant stores ill Abbeville to rent. Keside these, there are about half dozen small brick store rooms without tenants. Ami still there are buildings ana rumors of buildings. Mrs. Ramky, at the Dendy corner, is always ready to furnish meals and lodging to the hungry and tired wayfaring man. She deserves success in he business she lias followed so many years of her life. Kilt. iakds are in great demand now. They are the most popular game of which we have r.;.?y knowlr edge. If you don't believe it, just try keeping a free table. We see by the Lexington Dispatch that "tract" laying has been commenced on the .Ashville railroad. These Jiible Society agents are energetic fellows. A bate of cotton belonging to Dr. A. P. Boozer, was stolen off the railroad plaiform at Greenwood, Thursday night of last week. Miss Cartbr, daughter of J. G. Carter, deceased, was married last) Thursday night to Mr. Sanders. Key.I Franks did the job. j A delinquent subscriber to th Press and llanncr recently read o the sorrows of the poor printei That night when he went t bed lie dreamed that a twelv loot giant dressed in pea gree boiler iron, ornamented with redhe horseshoes, and who wore railroa spikes for coat tails, was sitting dow: Ion his breast while lie pulled on 'pair of stove pipe elbows for booh Since then the delinquent has pai I and we are glad to report that -hi [ slumbers lmvc been delightfully pleas ant.

Our heart has been sho all to pieCefe, but the young Judy ha; not been struck. Many of our citizens are putting ii their first crop of gurden seeds. The} all watch Mrs. Khillito and Mrs. Law son. None have ever got ahead o either of these ladies in the way o early vegetables, or if so they hav< never reported samples at this office. Mr. Jamus Gitxam, Senior, o White Lick, had the misfortune to b< thrown from his mule one day lasi week. One collar bone and sevcia ribs were broken. He is suffering intensely, ami it is probable that it wil he several weeks before he is able to bt up again. t?-~ ?vf J\ I* 1\\% eYCIl I I1J?? ai ?? v passed the place wln-re the renin mansion recently stood. The gate was locked with a chain, and a loiu chimney was keeping sentry. A feeling of sadness came over us.

Some one ? looted the Sherifl' question, by in- Ti uiry wiio would be the next incum ntand the decision was almost nanimously accorded to Andy Haw- t lorn, Esq., when oue member arose id declared that the next Sherifl* had sei i be one of that club, to wit, Jonce ni< amcy (old enough for the father of w< ly, but in feeling the youngest mem- is r of the club.) The nomination ha as seconded and the vote unanimous, co id Johnson llatnev was then and wt lore nominated as "the people's can- mi idate for Shenil'." The nominee as taken by such surprise and >ubtfulness that he arose and declarl that if he was to be ridiculed in that lanner ho would leave, and was about ] i do so, when ho was pressed to re- ? iain by the mover who spoke as fol avs: "Uentlemen or uie ssmuKmy id gabbing club in general and Jonce aniey in particular: The subject inoduccd at this meeting and which g ns met with such unparalleled unan- -B. nity and action, isone I had previous- <V] considered and intended at some l'u- ^ ire time to moot and introduce at yself. 1 am, therefore, in a condition sir i explain at once the ransom to hieh have induced the sug- I i est ion of our ijcu/hful friend )d associate as a candidate for SlierI'.
