I The Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE, S. C. Wednesday, May 28,1879. Births, Marriages and Deaths. The three greatest and most important ovente in man's life?although it inav lie; something like an Irish lull 1 to speak of i death as an event 111 life?are his birth, his marriage ami his death. Tlnwe events are , not simply of vast importance to himself but they arc of never-failing interest to his neigh- 1 borii "and his sisters and his cousins ! mill his annts." Family interest is i ' xhowij by t lie universal custom of! keeping a family register; and In some parts of tlie world It is made Imperative by law < that a public register be kept of every birth, i marriage and death. The results of such reg- ' istratinn lu Britain are of especial value as a j ' basis tor statistics relating to population. Hut It is not to advocate a similar law fori; "* this country that this is written. It is to j t state that vreshall be glad to devote a corner > in each issue of the Pruts and Jianricr to keep- ( lug a public registry for Abbeville county for births, marriages and deaths. If our readers , will kindly send lis in short form a mere re- J cord of such, containing slmplv the names, dates, anil authenticated by the sender's own ^ name, we will publish it free of charge. We hope that the readers and friends of the Pro* and P.nnnrr in Abbeville county and 1 elsewhere will take advantage of our registry 1 of births, marriages and deaths. If properly I used. It will furnish a news corner of ureat I and legitimate Interest tn?every one; and If kept up many years it will be Invaluable as | ii means of reference. t As for marriages and deaths, we have to ( thank our friends for frequently furnishing us with notices of them. But few notices of births are sent us, and when sent they are not J of the sort we like. An intimation that Tom j No-and-So has bought a baby-carriage, or thai Dick So-and-so Is investing in Mrs. Window's soothing syrup, is not the kind of ' blrth-'iotice that wc desire. The birth of a t child is a subject ot ?>ongratulati'ui by the < neighbors and ol interest to the public* and wc think it right and proper that the public 1 1.1 1........ ? r/?ctw?or.|lllo flimilv llSL.S r ii sou ora daughter born'unto it, * ! < County Board of Equalization. ] Agreeable to appointment a meeting was i held in theofliceof tlie County Auditor, eoinjioseJ of the chairmen of the various Hoards : ?if assessors, for the purpose of organizing tin?
