I'he Press aad Banner ABBEVILLE, S. C. Wednesday, April 2, 1879 A Drive to I)nc West. A few days ago we drove from Abbr ille to Due West. We found tlx1 road i good condition. Near town We passe' >wn-marshal Kirbv's hands busily am rectively working* on the roads. Fet avellers were met on the highway, fo ervbody, old and young, seemed to b jsy in the field. Farm-work ad alow le road was being rapidly pushed on ?o effects of the stoek-Uw were every here visible. Few fences, exeeptiw Ihsture fences wore to be seen, and oc ksionally we had to divide tlic r<>a< lith the plough-hCrse as he was lurnei hound in the highway at ?ho end of th [rrow. Wc? tried io compute theamoun [ laud saved l?y cultivating the bolt: rnierlv occupied by worm-foncos, l>u o tried an easier sum. Tlio stock l?v not an unmixed good ; and we saw tIn pginning of one of its evils: the dispo tion to allow homestead fences to got< bcav. Formerly a fence around one' puse and lot was a necessity. The no ssity became an ornament, and neat ean, and strong fences were a pleasan glit to behold. Now t lie necessity hai ?parted, and we fear the ornament wil i> with it ill a great iun:>y cases. Arrived fii Due West, we hardly recog ized it as tlie l>ue West we knew. On: rmer visits were made on Commence lent Days and 011 T$ig Meeting Days ii R, and we did not know the quielnes; id i>cacc that brooded over the acadeuiii wn last week. The grove which we re embered as resembling the camp of ; >madic nation, was quiet and tenant ss, not a horse nor a buggy to be seen tie college campus whioh on Hampton'" I any Was vocal wim inur;tii>, jwn if?i in Irv, and hands of music, was silent litli a classic stillness, suggestive o ludy. It was still forenoon, and the dleges wore in session, and scarcely : fcy or girl, young man or maiden, was I be seen in the streets. The only <-hil wen visible were playing in the spaeiou* rounds of the Female College. I>iu l*est is pre-eminently a town of seliools lid to her high duty she devotes hersel lith constancy, energy and snecess. |As we drove along the main street, w< Inld not help thinking of Oreenwooii lid observing tlmt Due West and (Irectilood in their neatness, stiugncss an< leanness, in their well-kept fences, ii loir plentiful and frequent use of painl lid whitewash, and in the air of general liiness and care that pervades the two Iwns, are examples to the other town? I Abbeville county and in the up-couulv. They both have an appearance thai ["seldom seen in the South, but is char Iteristic of the Netherlands and of Van teland too. I We did not stay long in Due West, nnci ad little time to see our friends. Wt lund the photographic artist, Mr. J. F, pe, to bo as good as ever in taking exMlent likenesses. Wo called at the Fc[ale College and had a few minutes' feasant chat with the polite Principal, lev. I)r. Bonner. Before returning, wc pnt to the drug store for "medicine," pt our friend Dr. Edwards, said there us "not a drop" in Due West; and fore wasn't. Contenting ourselves, erefore, with somo good cigars, which ? found at the store of our young friend [r. Robert Galloway, we trotted houu >ry mucJi pleased with our drive to Due 'est. Birth*, Marriages, and Deaths. The three greatest and most important ents in man's life?although it may b( inothing like an Irish bull to speak o| nth as an event in life?are his birth, s marriage and his death. Those ents aro not simply of vast importance himself but they are of nevei-failiny terest to his neighbors "and his sisters d his cousins and his aunts." Family terest is shown by the universal ens "r m f-nnilv ro.rUtor utld ill I>111 Ul ? , bine parts of the world it is made imhrativo by law that a public register be ppt of everj'birth, marriai;e and d*-ath. Ihe results of such registration in Britain re of especial value us a basis for stati-.*:s relating to population. [But it is not t advocate a similar law r this country that this is written. It is [ state that we shail be glad to devote a mier in each issue of tho 1'rc.s* ami (inner to keeping a pu!>lic registry for bbeville county for births, marriages id deaths. If our readers will kiudlv :?nd us in short form a mere record ol ich,simply containing the names, dates id authenticated by the sender's own ,?ine, we will publish it free of charge. We hope that the readers and friends ' the IVesA and Banner in Abbeville luntv and elsewhere will take advance of our registry ot births, marriages id death*. If properly used, it will mish a news corner of great and Initiate interest to every one; and if kept 3 many years it will be invaluable as a eans of reference. As for marriages and deaths, we havo thank our friends for frequently furshing us with notices of them. But w notices of births arc sent us, and IIlien sent they are not of the sort wt Ike. An intimation that Torn So-and|r> has bought a baby-carriage, or that |i?-k So-and-So is investing in Mrs. I'inslow's soothing syrup, is not the lind of birth-notice that we desire. The birth of a child is a subject of conIrat illation by the neighbors and of inter* Bt to tlie public, and we think it righi nd proper that the public should know flien a respectable family has a son or a laughter born unto it. The Franklin Murder. I>iza Arnold, wife of the negro Joe Arold, who now lifts in Anderson jail, ac* used of complicity in the now latuoti.* franklin murder, was committed to Abbeville jail on Friday, 'J-Sth March, bv rial Justice Hodges, of llodges Depot, |h? is charged with having been aceesr>ry to t^ murder.
