The Press and Banner, ABBEVILLE, S.C. Wednesday, Jan. 2, 1884. Christmas in Abbeville. f The Christmas holidays of Abbeville have been marred by n<> untoward event, and the young people have had .several delightful evenings. Mr. E. <?. Gravdon inaugurated the movement and invited q-iited a party of our young ladies and young gentlemen t? i his house on Wednesday night whore al was merriment and mirth until a latei hour. A superb supper was a fitting lose to the happy eveninir. This party i was given in honor of the beautiful Misv Sallie Tompkins, of Kdgetield, who j was on a visit to her cousin, Mrs. (Jray don. Oil Friday night the voting people had i a most pleasant gentian at Mrs. S. W. Smith's, whore our own voting people ' and the visitors in town won; most do- I gantly entertained. Here youth ami beauty met to chase the hours away. On Slum lay night, tin' last night <>f the year, I)r. I'arkt r gave i gentian at which Was assembled an array of heautv ami | manly grace seldom equalled and never excelled. On Friday night, qnito a nnmber of; our beautiful young ladies, and their escorts, accepted invitations to the house of j Mrs. Oscar Cromer, where they spent a I most delightful evening, returning to their homes with many thanks to the fair hostess for the opportunity of the enjoy- ; ment which had been afforded. Capt. Hon ham had a number of gentlemen at his house on Christmas morning to participate in an egg nog, where eon-! viviality, good cheer, and good will to i tnen reigned supremo for an hour. Judge McGoivan give a most elegant j dinner to a number of his friends on Friday evening. The Judge entertains in a most princely manner, and all who vvetej {>resent on that occasion say that, for tlie j >eautyand elegance of the arrangements, j for the superiority and appropriateness of; the viands, none could have surpassed it. j These are only a few of the incidents of the week. Resides these, there were few ! families at whose festal UAards, esteemed friends and honored guests did not ap-j v pear on Christmas day. It might l>e remarked that wo have] never seen a Christinas where the amuse- , ment was less innocent than during this j Christmas week. There was almost lit erally no drinking, and none of the hois- j terous or vulgar exhibitions, which char- i notorized the conduct of the people of: some other towns, was apparent here. I There was really nothing here hut good humor and kindly feeling, mixed with innocont pleasure. Important to Tnx-Pajers. The attention of our citizens is called to the fact that returns to the Town Council must he made on or before the first' day of February next. The Clerk of the Council Is required by law to add twenty | }>cr cent, penalty to all persons who nee-1 oct or refuse to'make their returns. Thej offh-e of the Council is in rear of the law office of Ellis (J. Oravdoii, Esq. Ax Oi.d Fmiknd.?Who of us does not { fenjoy greeting an old frierd, especially j when we can congratulate him on looking; well! It is with feelinir tint we welcome to our table Vick'* Floral Gniflc, which wotnos to us dressed in the neatest and most clogant cover that enterprising! house has ever issued. To every lover, of garden work we commend, in the heartiest possible manner, this beautiful I and exceedingly practical publication, j There is not a flower or n vegatable ; grown that is not illustrated in it, and; Romo valuable advice ariven a? to how ! to raise and care for them, Hesidos all this, the book contains a charming color-1 ed plates of flowers, one containing a col- j. lection of vcKatahles, and a third shews a upecimen of Vick's Extra Early potato. Vick proscnts this Floral <!ui<lc (how ap propriate the title!) to all his last year's ' no ?i fMiriufmna nrnconf iml to ail others at the low price of ten cents! ^ and tells such that they can deduct the cost of it from their first order for seeds, j " To our fanner friends, to every market! gardener, and those who merely garden ; for pleasure, we say??!et I'ick'x Ffnml Guide, of James Viok, ltochester, N. Y. j Miss Sam.ie Tom kins, of Edgefield,; who has been in Abbeville visiting her on si n Mrs. (?ray don for several weeks.' will return to-morrow, aft"r having hail ! every reason to be delighted with her visit. The yonnst people of the village paid her every honor, and all regret her departure. Although last Tuesday was New i Year's Day, and therefore a leiral holiday, vet the Treasurer could not refuse the money for tho whiskey tax, of a hundred dollars each, from about a dozen retail dealers. The receipts had been' .vritten and s!gned the day before in anticipation. The weather, last week, after Monday was most pleasant. We have searcelv 1 realised that tho Winter has set in. If we do not have more cold weather, we 1 will have to condole with those who have wood to sell, as we'.i as with those who hare laid in an abundant supply of fuel, j Master Andrew, son of Major A. R. 1 Wardlaw. was presented with a new axe on New Year's day. In experimenting as to its capacity for effective work, lie sent the blaue in the instep of his foot. Dr. Maby bound the wound. Andrew's foot now'eoes in a swing. Rkv. John Gass preached in Trinity Church last Sunday to a Innre congregsition. His sermon in regarded as an able ' one. The vestry extended a call to him to the pastorate of the congregation, which, wo regret to say, he declined. According to previous notice the) stores in Abbeville wore closed on Christ- i mas day, ar.d the dullness, together with the scarcety of persons on tho public , square. Rave the day something of a Sun- ! day appearance. w Half dozen young gentlemen hired " Hill <fe Son's six seated break Tnes-j day, and wont round tho town mak-; ing Now Year culls at the different ; houses. We will put on city style?after! awhile. Ocr taxes this year will be ten mills? | three for ordinary county expenses, two ' for schools to educate our enemies, two | for interest on the public debt, and three I for the expenses oi' tho State Govern- i uient. 8. U. Cason, Esq., has quit the office of! the Probate Judge, and now hangs out his law shingle from one of the new of-1 lice* in the O'Neal building. Give him a \ call at his new place of business. Til f. A uffit.ifa Evening Nctrx says: Miss Bessie Norwood will arrive this evening j ? on a visit to Miss Alice Clark and charm-1 inglv represent Abbeville society in the New Year's receptions. Miss Clark will I receive after six o'clock. The Town Council expect* to replen-! ish their exchequer in consequence of a| recent cmcKen dispute which whs witnessed by about two dozen of our citi- j zens. j Senator Bi*tler has found one man 1 who agrees with him in his proposition to hare cheap whiskey and tobacco.

She leaves a young family. Mr. Patterson Warolaw, who i.? teaching in Winnsboro, spent his Christinas holidays at home in Abbeville. Mrs. Edward Yorrorough of Angus ta, wno nati Deen visiting .Mrs. uonrum, took her departure last Monday.

The Iloriiestead Act, 1 in days that are gone, doubtless afforded needed security, hut It hasoutllved Itsdh.vs of usefulness and heeoinea nuisance.

Energy and perseverance should sutler no ' lack of application to ward otr the merciless 1 Intrusion of the "wolf." The year that has ' Just expired was not prolific of plenty as 1 much as we desired but yet. was not void of a * fruition of blessings. We have enjoyed an I unprecedented fall. Ample time given toj harvest and seed down a lame area of winter cereals. No severity of weather has prevail- i ed to impede radicn'ion ami reiulro a great i consumption of necessaries of life to "keep! up" stock The greatest boon of nil. health, i wlthort whlcti. life Is wearl<ome, has been a ; | prevailing desideratum. That, terrible and , fatal scourge, diphtheria, which in IWW t>;if- j tied medleal skill and extinguished the vital j spark In so many loving and blooming off-1 sprint; and llllcd households with anguish i a#d lamentation has not preyed upon a single j vietini in this community. To he exempt I from such a fatal pest is an incalculab'e bless-' Inz that, demands a ureal supply of thankful- I ne?s to film who Is th" elver of all good. Santa flaus has about exhausted his rcposl-j. tory of keepsakes and token voyage to parts1 unknown. Many young hearts were touched ! with emotion of gladness at the reception of I mementoes. I embraced the opportunity ofj wlfne^lng two Christmas trees, the one. at I I>onaldKviMe. and tho other, at Due West. I'll j omit detail* for want of space. I have no va-1 caney to fill up with an invidious discrimination. Both were grand, peculiar and sublime, ] reflected credit upon nil parties interested. ! They were heavy laden with a choice and se-, leel variety of fruit, the distribution of which 1, not otii.v sent a thrill of Joy into the hearts of , the juveniles but exacted a sentimental sinile: | from more mature facs. The former, was j' "gotten up" In good tast?? under the special j, supervision of Miss Nannie Mattison, thenc-;' eompltshed Instructress that has charge of the academy in Ponahlsville, the latter, was ! dcvKcd and handsomely arranged in good], style, that gave it a dellchtful tempting ap-j pearancc, by the directorship and manipula-1 Xflij-s Toniiin KMttfitnlc thn ' plished principal of lite primary department ] of the Due West Female College. The rising > generation, not cjiiite as numerous as the trains i>f sand on i he sea shore, locin to haveI enjoyed the presents hugely, to their hearts' content ami doubtless long for Christmas trees to spring up again. I cannot consistent- ]' ly with my feelings, retrain from dotting one more Christmas item. I and "partner in life," , being solicited, were seated. la<t Thurs !av. In company with o'h>r notable characters/ around a neighbors dining table replct" with ' viands and dellcades and the''Inner man" : did Justice to the occasion, feasted uutnptn- i ously upon the magnificent display of the! good things of life. The proclivities of an ep-1 (cure could have heen easily gratlle I. That i social interchange of conversation and ele-| gant Christmas dinner In isf<! will beplens-j antly remembered for days to come. Many thanks are due the generous and social hearted Mr. Samuel Davis and hi? "better half for. furnishing such a rkh repast of edibles.
