Mortou, >.. John R. Tolbert and * for the sum of jM,000, and it is believed j|( fby some that Mr. Tolbort wm uo umu w make good the amount. There is no J*1]1 charge of criminal intont on the part of Pr-I Mr. Tolbert, but there was an unaccountable falling short of his funds. The J-'I County Commissioners have drawn I checks on this fund which was collected j S?. for pay deficiences and tho drafts are | ' now in the hands of the various creditors ' ' of the county. There is a distrust of y county croditoand many have sold, or arc willing to sell, these claims at from sixty 'p to seventy-five cents on the dollar. dr< m ' m ~ sh< Save Expense. ou Last week Sheriff Jones sent two pris- 3 oners to the State j>enitentiarv at an ox- Pe jH-nse of perhaps forty dollars.

One of these artistic painters recently tj, found his way into the Marshall IIouso * ntablo lot, and printed his sign in big letters. Some man soon after hitched his f horse to the fence when a part of the " i plank was torn olL It now roads, ALE, Manufg Co., Charleston, S. C. ^ Builders?Supplies."

Those companies iosj heard from, announced their determina- son tion to come. This will he a new fea- gni ture in our Fair and will certainly draw on tho largest crowd that we have liad for (j0i years. ? put A Lovkly little daughter of Rev. Mr. ? Melton of Antreville, aged seven j-ears yDl in running across the yard stopped on a us board with a nail in it, wlil -h entered tho pre foot, producing lever, of which she died the last Thursday. rui Thk Secretary Mr. T.

W. Trowbkidge and Capt. W. It. White of our town have situations of- " 1 fered to them in Greenville. It looks to a E us as if tho Abbeville pooplo aro going & crazy about Oroenvllle. Ft Heretofore the whites have not been allowed to have guus, or form military W1 companies. Turn out at the Fair and Y? show that there is yet a martial spirit in w* our young mon. 7? The noise at one of the colored church- , cs Sunday night was a nuisance. It seems strange to us that preachers cannot '' learn that such noisy worship is not gen- t_r tool. To tost the truthfulness of a man ask wj him how much his fodder weighs to tho j wj bundle. After he has made the statement, weigh it and you'll be convinced. Messrs. Cunningham <fc Templeton have received a supero iot 01 new guou*, i . which they are offering to sell at very I hu short profits. Give them a call. ev No man in Abbevilleville county has in; money to lend, who neglects to sow oats, th and then buys his corn. mi There will be a great cry for bread sei next year, and those who neglect to sow Jttirley for their hor es and oows will be a< compelled to "bust." in] Mr. T. P. Quari es hasjreturned from Cr market whore he bought a large and varied stock of goods. Give him a call and be get a good bargain. ca The man who does't find a sweet heart at tho next Fair will most likely be e;l shot at some future time?by Cupid. ni The pump handle should bo oiled. a" Thero is not an hour in the day or night that it doos not screak. There is not a solvent farmer in Abbeville county who makes a business of buying bis oorn. lii Rev. R. N. Pratt, of tho Baptist m church, preached in the Methodist church W Sunday night. 415 A christian regardeth the life of his beast, and will sow red oats and barley P' for his horse. v' The Farmer who has no barley, 0 wheat, or oats might be put down as a "poor shote." J-;; A Prudent man foresceth the evil that is to come and soweth liberally of small grain. vl Drill your company and compcto for the honor as well as tho prize to be given at the Fair. Messrs. Barnwell A Co., [are offer Jng special inducements to cash customers. Go to Cunnigham <fe Cempleton's and get anything you want at a low price.

A Suggestion to Farmers.?Wc hope that all our farmers will plant full :rops of small grain this Fall?not only if oats, but also of wheat, rye and barley. Do not out it olf until Docomber, January and February but commence at )nce, and thereby avoid tho danger ol' the jroung plants being killed while in the vendor state.
