The Abbeville Fair. : vi
One of the rnoit successful as well as J
the most satisfactory Fairs that wo have;
ever had at Abbeville, came oil' last j
week, under the supervision of Vice- j U|
President C'othran and Secretary Quaries. j
This being an "otf year" in politics, and
our people having nothing ot an exciting I
nature to divert their attention from the j JJ:
quiet pursuits of life, long since gave
unmistakable evidence of an increased!,
interest in this exhibition of the choicest j
'>nf r<jum?u unil a (iHtMrniina- !.
j.HVUUVM> VI KliU VVUtlfl w..v? ?
tion that this should be equal if nut su-1 J?,
)>erior to any previous exhibition atij*
this place. Many came to see and to be P
seen, and to renew old friendships and to *J'
form new acquaintances and to cultivate
that kindly feeling which is so necessary oc
between an intelligent citizenship of the
mime count v. Others caine with
the same kind feelings and commendable j u<
motives bad also an eye to the immediate br
good to be derived from the occasion by i at
entering the contest in generous rivalry su
for the very substantial premiums which mi
the Executive Committee Lad authorized <lr
the varioua committees to award to sue- *>f
censful competitors. th<
The day being cloudy and the roads ex
being sloppy from the recent rains only de
those who had articles to enter or place so
on exhibition were here on Wednesday, tin
but Thursday being a good day and the on
muddy roads having becomo somewhat up
drier, there was quite a good attendance i ou
of our fellow citizens from all portions of lec
the Couaty, and especially is this true of jut
Due We*t and Cokesbury. Dr. lionner so<
and about fifty young ladies from the Due rer
West Female College, dressed in their riv
"suit of blue" made quite an attractive
feature of the occasion. There were also (
a large number of vonnjf gentlemen stv
present from Krsklne, but as they came f0'r
down "loose" and not in an organized er,
bodv, they did not attract quite as much
-of the admiration of the bachelors as the ,in(
venerable Doctor's charming pupils. The Rp,
citizen's of Dae West also turned out en tj,,
maMc, and did themselves and the occa- fu|
*ion honor. stv
THE LADIKS* DKPARTMKNT. jn*
In the tine art department there was an(
? larger exhibition than ever before; and j 0fj
notably amongst these for number and ?e]
beauty was the contribution of the teach- *n
ers and pupils of the Due West Female
College. The artistic touch of the pencil
aind brush portraved the taste, the talent we

proficiency of her pupils. Miss True ma
lii* perhaps attained a higher decree of
excellence in the art of painting than any ^
-other lady in the South, and ha* made oet
this elegant accomplishment one of the He
most attractive features of a Female Col- ^
lege which stands second to none in the wj5
iState. We are glad to know that her
merit* as an artist, and ability to teach, s *
are being appreciated by the patrons of ,
the College. Miss True is as lovely iti *
character a* she is accomplished in art UH,
and l?ft*Mtiful in person. ta
We would mention that Wheeler, pholographer
at this place, had quite a num- i
4>er of most excellent pictures on exhibi- ^
?ion. He can make equally as goo<l i?ic- fvj
xures of the reader, If only requested to mj]
<1? so. th
The wax, hair and sliell department
was full and attractive. The very hand- ^
H?aie inica (isiog glass) wreath, made by
Mr*. G- W_ Conner, of Cokes bury, was '
aw nuc.ii admired for its beauty as for its j'^g(
novelty. This is the first specimen of the
kind that we have ever seen, and we believe
the idea of making a wreath of such
material originated with Mrs. Conner.
Tho articles executed in fish scales by ]
Mrs. Dcnham of this place were delicate a ,,
specimens of handiwork and elicited ad- j ^
miration. She was awarded a premium. jtjM
Mrs. I)r. Hart, of Ninety-Six, also had on ,}1(
exhibition a beautiful piece of work'^u
made of fish scales, which was so highly j we
sippreciated that she got a premium for ii., m
Mrs. W. C. GriJfin'a quilt which wa?j,^
over one hundred years old. occasioned j |a,
?*onsiderablo comment and was noticed1 to
by mativ. I
Mrs. t. C. Gower, of Greenville, had a a(j
<?uiIt also on exhibition, but it was not j pn
<juite so old. It was admired for it* beau-: Lj,
ty of design nnd excellence of finish. j.(1,
Mrs. Charlotte Reid, an estimable lady J [u^
of Calhoun's Mills, who is now seventy- j?j
eight years of age, exhibited some' tna'g- 't|0
iiittceutly embroidered handkerchiefs and j ()j|
won tho premium over the work of a i j-e
.number of charming young ladies in the J ^
Mime department. '[<1,
< Upon the whole tlio work in the ladies .)rj
department was never better or more at- j
(tractive. Tlio articles were so su|K?rior in tra
many instances that the Committees were |
sUinoit unable to decldc which were cn-i^j]
titled to awards. ' I ^

Mr. J. L. .Simpson was on hand to ex- j (>a
plnin the bcautiet- mid advantages of the | ><,

LKATHK'R AND HAKNESS.
Mr. Jacob Kurz, of our town, exhibit- ! ;)5Mi
<xl quite a variety of the s|>eeiinehH of his ] 'j'^,
handiwork and received honorable men-1 U(.
tion for his success oh a manufacturer of: ac*
leather as well as more substantial evi- tni
dence of merit from tlie committee. i
KI5E VEHICLES.
Messrs. Jteal Jr. Sign had an excellent
display or super li vehicles of various I ju
kinds"on the grounds which reflected!^
credit upon the manufacturers and tori bli
which b ith premiums and diplomas were im
awarded by the committee. Mr. lieury I L
Norwood, one of our most popular and en- ; \J,
tcrprising young men boughtoue of their
finest buggies at the close of the Fair, j
lie already hud a bora to match, and *o ; pt
ho now drives the tin wit turu-out in the i y
County, and hi* popularity with the di-|
-v initios i? not lessoned thereby. I ^
KXOIXES, CASTINGS, ETC. j(]
Major John Alexander's sugar cancj*^,
mills aud iron fencing were placed in a? j ,
conspicuous place and were observed by | .?J(
nil. The Major has always had a goodj^j
trade from thus county, ami never fails to I h,
jjet premiumsat the various county Fair*. J
There were two portable utiiuin olivines]
on exhibition by Meters. Tolbert <fc Son*, | si
of Hichmond, Va., and to both of which> M.
*e saw Uit blue ribbon attached. j ^
Mr. J. C. (Carlisle's patent churn van w jj,

ie dav, and ronects the highest credit! (
jon both the officers and privates of the' (
tinpany from Abbeville. And the glory i (
enhanced by the fact that the recent or- j (

obstacle to the proficiency which might,'
herwise have been attaiued. To have!
H?n first when all excelled, is the best
dogy u(>on Captain White and his gal- L

pressing his sense of the difficulty of.| I
