L. . . 1 -k The Press and Banner Wednesday, April 4, 1877. Will Compare With nny in the State. Our neighbor of the Barnwell Sentinel lust week was pleased to make the following notice of our paper: "The Abbeville Press and Banner, although it uses a "patent outside," gets up nn inside that will compare with any in the State." Knowing our friend's prejudice against the use of patent outsides, we appreciate the notice, and thank him for it. As it has never been denied that the patent outsides are edited with more ability than nine-tenths of the home printed outsides we may conclude that the Sentinel, like our subscribers, lyis a high regard of our paper as a whole. If the Sentinel would adopt the plan he would And it to his own advantage and greatly to the benefit of his readers. If the home-priuted papers were not icalous of the plan, why abuse.it? "We set in this office more matter for our inside, than do nine-tenths of the home printed papers for their entire paper outside una inside, and publish j>erhaps four times as much as half of that number, ami in no single instance have we noticed a paper endeavoring to bring the plan into disfavor, who sets up more matter than we do or who publishes half as much. The Sentinel is a good paper now, but he could publish the whole of what he sets on the inside of a patent outside. .People do not read by the square inch, as many editors seem to think, but they are quick judges of the papers in which they get the most reading matter, and generally exercise the same discretion in buying papers that they do in any other business transaction, and a large proportion of the people, the quality being equal or better, will buy where they can get the most for their money. If the editor of thcA'cniinel would use smaller type, and set it solid, he could publish as much 011 the inside of a patent outside, as lie now publishes on the four pages of his paper. He would have more subscribers and those he already has would pay more cheerfully. This is our experience and we have tried the plan for more than a year. In this we have never attempted to deceive our subscribers. They all know we use the patent outside and acknowlegde the improvement in our paper, ^ome of our brethren have attempted to adopt the plan without informing their readers, as if that was something to dread, in letting people kuow that Hi*.w iirp cuffriiri?inir cnouirh to adont 41 ny plan that would mutually benefit publisher and reader. ma Trinity Church. At a congregational meeting held yesterday morning, the Rector made a <diort report or the statistics, con (i tion and prospects of thischurch. His remarks were supplemented by others from Mr. W. H. l'arker. Mr. Kershaw iu all ding to the affairs of the Parish* said he saw no reasons for being discouraged at our- condition. The statistics of the church are interesting. Sixty-three baptisms in the last decade?twelve iu the past fifteen month". Losses by death twenty-seveu in the same time (ten rears.) Number of communicants ? iiifty-eight, the^sameas on January 1, 1868, nine years ago. Losses by removals very heavy. In a period of1 " two years not less than six young lady members had married and gone away. Although these looses have beeu made up to this immediate church, they have gone to swell the congregations of this denomination elsewhere. Thirty-five years ago the church] was founded here by four persons?two male an 1 two female members. CM these but two remain at present. Mrs. Ellen Parker and Mr. Thomas Jackson. From this small beginning the church went on until at the beginning of the war, it was oue of the most flourishing in the up-country if not iu the diocese. Unleavened Kread. We are indebted to Mrs. Visanska of this village for a supply of un-j IkhvpiihiI iiroitil tTnlwivcnpil lirpjiil it. ' that bread which is made simply of Hour and water, and is the only bread <-a ten by religious Israeli ten during holy week, or the seven days immediately preceding the passover, or the beginning of a new Israelitish year, which commences on Easter Sunday. On the day before the Israelites were ?'liven out of the land of Egypt, the Lord told Moses, and Aaron that he would that night pass through the land of Egypt and smite the first-born, of all the Egyptians, but at the same time promised protection to his own chosen people, instructing them to kill a lamb and "take of the blood and strike it on the side parts and on the upper door posts of the houses" of all the Israelites, wherein they had eaten of the lamb and the uuleaveued bread. After which Moses called the Elders of Israel together, and directed them to kill in each family a lamb, and commanded them to take a bunch * of hissop and dip it in the blood and Htrike the door posts and lintels/assur-ing them that the Lord had promised, when he would pass through the country that night to smite the first born ol I all the Egyptians, that he would pass over the doors of the houses upon I which he saw the blood, and would not allow the destroyer to enter, of wmite the occupants o7v the house upon which the blood of the lamb was found. This custom the Israelites and their] nous were commanded to observe for-) ever; and hence to this day all good Jews eat unleavened bread and kill the paschal lamb. Easter Elections. At a meeting of the congregation of Trinity church yesterday morning, the lleetor presiding, the "following elections took place: Vestrymen?A Burt, W. H. Parker, J. T. Robertson, W. A. Lee, D. B. Smith, Hugh Wilson. Delegates to the Diocesan Convention? A. Burt, W. H. Parker, W. A. Lee, W. C. Benet. Delegates to Columbia Convocation ?W. H. Parker, B. S. Barnwell. Wardens?B. S.

A Burt was re-elected Chairman* J. T. Robertson, Secretary, and B. S. Barnwell, Treasurer. vuuuui at uurre to mc r rom. , We lmve just seen the license ofi Conner & DuPre for the year 1877.

Abbeville is well supplied with boarding houses and the demand for boarders is so great that we expect ?oon to be offered board and lodging at the best of them, where our pious example will be considered as sufficient enumeration fa any sleak and frying chickens thut we may make way with. Miss Mkta Lythoob has returned from a.visit to-Ninety-Six. j Ax Unexpected Pleasuke.?We I think we speak the sentrinent of almost the entire community when we jsay that the assistance rendered the choir of Trinity Church on Sunday last, by tiie elegant and accomplished Miss LeOal, now teacher of vocal {musicat Due West Female College, j was both an unexpected pleasure and i a rare musical treat. We feel somewhat jealous of our Due West neighbors but hope that the young lady will find an early opportunity of repeating her visit to our town, where she has already made many friends. What thk Date Means.?We I put opposite the names of subscibers [the date to which they have paid. (Theseda'es have no reference to the 'age of the subscriber, as one good j lady supposed. In the date opposite one name who had paid to "Aug. 70," I the "u" was inadvertently omitted, .'and it stood "Ag. 76." The wife of I this subscriber thought we meant to insinuate that he was "aged 76," and ordered her liege lord to stop his paj per. She said we ought to know her ! husband was not that old. I Mad Dogs.?One or two dogs have been killed in town withiu the last I few days which exhibited some sympj tons of hydrophobia. While there | may be some doubt yibout these dogs j really being affected' with this dread1 fill disease, still it is well enough foj I our people to be on the alert for" maddogs and promptly kill all that show any such symptooi.?Spartanburg jSpartan. We think it would be very J well to kill four-fifths of the dogs in i Abbeville County ou suspicion. ! Hymeneal.?On yesterday evening | tiie imposing services of solemnizaj tion of matrimony were celebrated at ; Trinity Church in presence of an audience of five hundred persons. The happy couple were Eugene 13. Gary, Esq., and Miss Eliza Tusten of this i place. Mr. Kershaw officiated. Afterj wards Mr. and Mrs. Tusten received their guests at home and entertained i them in princely style. We wish the young couple a long life of happiness and prosperity. I The ll7?s?oro Netvi and Herald jsays that the town needs an additional number of cisterns in order that the I usefulnessof the fire department may I be extended. After our big fire we | bought ladders and India rubber buckets. They served a good purpose?the ladders to lend out to carpenters and some of the buckets have been used to hold ashes. We have had no need ! tor cisterns nor water either. Query.?'Will some ouo please tell ! us the difference in publishing a bar room advertisement and in publishing extraordinary puffs of Hostetjter's Stomach Bitters? We do not i know, and merely ask for information of some of our religious brethren. If j there is 110 difference, are such publications consistent with the character of a temperate christian? On Sale Day.?Next we hope that persons in arrears to this Ottice, either for subscription or advertising, will I / <!!??? forward and settle ^he same.? Laurens vide 'llcrnld. We tried for ten years to get a special invitation to debtors on Sale Day, but always forget it until it is too late. They are welcome at all times, aud especially of I a Sale Day. Rev. W. F.

The Baptist church at Donaldsville was dedicated last Sunday. The Rev. Meudenhall preached the sermon. Revs. Pratt, Acker and Burts were present and occupied seats in the public.

Who ThinVs Hampton and Caroliu< inns are Growing Timid, inasmucl as they Submitted to the late President's Edict, Prohibiting their Ceh ebration of Washington's Birthday BY A CAK0I.INIAN. Good friend, are you wholly consistent? I'm only a Southron, 'tis true, And know naught, of the new computation Extensively practiced with you. Dut I learn'd In the old fashlon'd "lani syne," 'Tisa poor rule which works but one way And sauce for but one of a party, In your elegant parlance "don't pay." 'Tis true that we fought years agone now. For principles wc then thought grand, Had we won, we tiill think that fair Free d im, Unsmirch'd, would reign over our laud. Wc fought, and not you, but all nutlons, v\ ltn you against us were array a, Men. money, tlie "heaviest artllery," Ali fumish'd material aid. Even those, wont you frankly acknowldge, That we gave you a rather good tight? At least 'twas the best in our power, Though the Right was overwhelin'd by you: Might. You conquer'd; Oh next to a brave friend, We love a magnanimous foe, Who would scorn to inflict on the fullen, One taunt or a cowardly blow. Were you this? Ah my mother Carolina, Stricken down in the dust of thy dead, Chained, Kat'g'd, every species of Insult, l'our'd over thy desolate head. We thy children, have mourn,d and shar'c with thee.

And a draught like the cauldron's concoctcd By witches tn Salem old timeHow refreshing to think of the grand men, And graud deeds, of that heavenly clime. Tills cup, did some threatening Nemesis. Warn your wise men to ponder, to stop, E'r you fore'd us to drink in our anguish, The last bitter venomous drop. God knowcth, this only do we know, That we quaffd it full deeply and strong, With you it were matter for jesting, Our cry was, and is, "Lord how long?" Ah friend, we have rnourn'd o'er our iovot ones. Our brave gallant "boys in the grey," Over hopes that like a?hcfl lie scatier'd, Cold and dead all along the rough way. But the crucllcst stabs that were dealt us, By Hatreds unpitylng hand, Were those almost motally Inflicted, On our country, the Palmetto land. Well, we've llv'd through if all and havi borne it, The oppression, corruption and wrong I 'Tls said that in patient endurance, The spirit will often grow strong. If so, then we've thoroughly learn'd It, And earn'd too the strength that it brought God grant that the gold thus thrice heated, Into a beautiful gem may be wrought. And so friend we once more have rallied, Under Hampton the brave Cavalier, As he once led his Legions in battle, He leads us tana favor or fear.

The cotton p money is all spent for household nocessao ries and in navinir that oruano bill of last I, I year. If you'had plenty of corn in your ?, | crib to do you, and some to sell, don't you i think yon*would feel much better. Yes, 1- but I am indebt, and must go in further this year for corn, and how am I to get e out without I plant more cotton. I will s plant a good deal this year and get out of debt, and then quit it. And thus it is, and will ever be until you raise all your own provisions. As long as you hang on j" to cotton to the exclusion of the small j grains, you will continue to be in debt, and grow poorer every year." , AUGUSTA, April 2.?Cotton quiet?mlddline 107yull; receipts 128; sales 212.
