V . '1 . . I ? The Press and Banne: ABBEVILLE, S. C. Wednesday, March 10,188( Newspaper Patronage. It seems to us that the Charbottt Observer better supported by the town in which it published than any newspaper printed in tli section of the country. < 'harloite is uoLoi; fourth the size of Clufcrleston or AugusLa, ai k yet that paper has nearly as much advertisii & jis tin.* .Yetrs and Courier or the (Jironicic ai A ScntirwL Columbia is as large as Chariot! K Mild when it t-iilks about niagmiicciit factorl and big canals, puts on a quantity of ai about its ({rent importance to the whole Stal hut when you come to examine the Uvgiat lor evidence of business enterprise on tl part of its citlzeus, you fail to tind It. A though tlje I?i-guUer is u good paper, and \v< patronized by the country folk, the city m< give it almost no patronage. To judge fro the support given to the Jicgittcr we shon think Columbia will at no remote day he r duced to the dimensions of a "blgraJIroi tank." On the other hand, there Is In (jreei vilie the JMiity yew* and half a dozen weel lies. Although (ireenvillo is a young clt and has never lutd Mate aid in any way, tl advertising patronage of the .Vruu is perha; twice as much as Columbia gives to the AV'f? tcr. We congratulate me taarwur uwum * Its good lortune in being liberally support' at home and abroad. Whenever u-e get e; ceedingly hard up for a little cash we she <uill 011 our opulent Xortli CArollna. frier who enjoys such substantial evidences of tl good will of his townspeople. The Obtrrv being always level-headed in its editorial d par tin cut, and wide-awake and sprightly ; its local columns deserves the liberal suppo which It receives. Col. Duncan's Lecture. Col. Duncan of jBarnwell S. C., dellverc his lecture at the Court House last Krldf night. He nnnouticed tut the subject ot h Secture "Joshua" treating ot him in his Ro, ?K>Dd. Man hood, and Self-hood. Wethink h lecture might be more appropriately terrrn ('harocter, as this was the gist 01 iu i jku upon the young nien the Importune? of a A quiring self-reliant, manly and thrifty trai of character, an not being dependent on tt JH nabobs who when they shook theirjarabrosi; locks, caused this country to quail trom eet Treto circumference, to do whatever the hands fotittd to do, not to hunt out tor tl *oft places. It wis better to be a good blaci smith than a poor lawyer, a good carpenti than an indifferent physician. He held u several Instances from the Bible to cotnfo those who were dejected from various cause 3Iis tribute to woman was beaut'ful, whic placed the lecturer in thorough accord wit riis hearers. Unfortunately the attendant owing to the bad weather, was not large, ati in theatre parlance his audience was sum but select. Pnrcliase of YaJuable Property. Our energetic and thrifty townsman Mr. , William Robertson has bought the Alsto House and about one hundred und twent feet of the lot fronting tho public square an Washington street, and running hack to tl: lot belonging to Mr. T. P. (Juarles. M Robertson gave S-'t.GoO for the property?$2.01 in cash, and his note for SI,100, payabletwel\ mouths after date. The property has bee used as a boarding house or hotel since til instruction of the Marshall House. We lear that Mr. Robertson will after the expiratio of the present lease put various needed r lialrson the premises, and will then oecup it himself a* a dwelling. Mr. Robertson success as a business man gives a practici demonstration of what energy, business tac and economy will accomplish. He came ot of the war penniless. But he went to work t his trade?that of wagou-builder?and b close application to business is to-day a nc man, owning some of the tinest property 1 town. ?j rt it" k >iaie mm tunut? ia.vo. The taxes thi# venr are due and payable i Sffi t wii eoual installments, the first installinen payable from the 1st day of May to the li day of June, and the second installment pa.> able from tho 15 day of September to the 3h day of October. It is left to the option of an person cither to pay the amountof the tin installment (one-half) at the time the first ii stallment is doe. or to pay the whole amouti of his or her tax at the time the second instal mentis due. If the first installment Is n< paid in May. a penalty of five per. centon th the amountof said installment isadded whe the whole Is paid in the fall. In other word! a id to make it plain, all who fail to pay th first Instalment in May will be subjected to penalty of 2% per cent, on the whole amouti of his or her tax ; otherwise there is no per altv added. The whole of your tax can bi paid at the first instalment if it is desired. ? Anderson and Hodges as Cotton 3Iar kets. A few week* ago the Anderson IntclHficnct with a flourish of trumpets, announced th: a thrifty farmer of Hodges had none all th way to Anderson to sell a load of cotton, an I in a bantering: way enjoined its Abbevill contemporaries from copvine the notice < the fact. Our readers will remember that w copied the notice and then predicted thatth citizen of Hodges would nevergoback to fhr market with hlscotton. The "prominent cil l7.cn*" who took the cotton from Hodges I Anderson were Messrs. M. 15. Magce, Vv. T Masiee, Jesse Magee, und A. II. Magee. The Dow report their dissatisfaction with Andcr " son as a cotton market and express the opin Ion that thegr could have done better a liodses or Donalds and say they will nevt go to Anderson again with cotton.

Open Air Concert, | The Abbeville Band discoursed som r very sweet music on the public square yeste ' dav afternoon, which was greatly enjoyed b 1 us all. As it has been a long time since w have heard a single note from them, we Tea ed that they were about disbanded, but sue Im far from being the case, as their music ye terdav proved, it was lovely and sweet, an played with their accustomed accuracy an proficiency. We would suggest that .-.sSun mer Is coming on, that the Band favor uh o tener. In the afternoons, if they would pia nt some place where the ladles and ehildre could attend, we think they would Aijoy 1 nnd It would add greatly to the pleasure i lis all.

The me:chants of Ninety Six arc preparing for au immense trade this year. It Is gratifying to note ilie very favorable reaction in general business in this part of the county. The ! promptness of the farmers has enabled the I merchants to promptly settle with their fncI tors: and the past year terminated profitably ?

Tin- commercial men of Ninety six j arc opposed io combinations and cliques, dis| astrous to the interests of the farmers; and j this important business feature ha? done I much to largely increase the cotton and grain receipts. The grain crop, notwithstanding somewhat cut oil' by the tly, is very promising, and the yield will be overwhelming if not further curtailed.

And t lie shadow of the cloudlet hangs above the mountain's bond? I And the highest lu-arts and lowest wear the J | shadow of some pain, , And the smile is scarcely fitted ore the anguished tear Is shed. For no eyes have there been ever without a weary tear, And those lips eunnot be human which never heaved a sigh; For without the dreary winter there has never been a year.

So this dreary life is passing?and we move am Id its gaze, And we grope along together, half in darkness, half in light: j And our hearts arc onen nnracreu oy mo mysteries of our ways, Which are never all in shadow and never wholly bright. And our dim eyes ask a beacon, and our weary fceta guide, And our hearts of all life's mysteries seek t lie meaning and the key; I And a cross gleams o'er our pathway, on it hangs the crucified, And He answers all our yearnings by the whisper: "Follow Me."

She"world for 1880, DKMOOUATS EVERYWHERE slioiild inform themselves carefully alike of t he notion of their party throughout the country and of ihc movements of their Republican opponents. A failure to do this In 1876 contributed greatly to the loss by the Democracy of the frill Us of the victory fairly won at th'e polls. The year 18#0 promises to be one of the most. Interesting and Important years of this crowded and eventful century. It will witness n Presidential election which may result in reestablishing the (iovcrnment of this country on t'le principles of Its constitutional founders. or In pennanontly changing the relations of the States to the Federal power. No Intellitrent. man can regard such un election with Indifference. THE WORLD, as the only daily English newspaper published In the city of Sew York which upholds tbo doctrines ot constitutional Democracy, will steadily represent the Democratic pHrtyin this greatcanva-s. It will do this In no spirit of servile partisanship, but temperately and firmly. A? a newspaper THE WORLD, being the organ of no man. 110 clique and no interest, will present the fullest. and the fairest picture It can make of each day's passing history In the citv. the Stale, tbo country and the world. It will aim hereafter, as horotofore, at accuracy nr?t of all things In all that it publishes. No man. however humble, shall ever be permitted truly to complain that he has been nnlustly dealt with In thecolumns of THE WORLD. S'o interest, however powerful, shall ever be permitted truly to boast, that It can silence the fair criticism of THE WORLD. During the past year THE WORLD has seen its dally circulation ircoien nnn imweuKly circulation pushed far beyond that of any other weekly newspaper in the country. This Krcut Increase has been won, as THE WORLD believes, by truthfulness, enterprise, ceaselcss activity In collect fug news, and unfaltering loyalty to Itself and to its readers In dealing with the questions of the day. It Is our hope and it will be our endeavor that THE WORLD'S record for 1S.S0 may he written In the approbation and the support of many thousands more of now readers in all parts ol this Indossoluble Union of Indestructibls States.
