The petition to tax our people for the benefit. of the C. ci. A K K., was handed to1 the town cotuu*l la^t Monday, hut after a| careful scanning of the list of names it was' determine I to return the petitions for more' names. There are 1!*> owners of real estate! In town. The petition had '.HI names on it.j cifter certain names had lieen erased?only: one majority. This was deemed too elose to I ri>k tin* ordering of an election* The council j will meet next Monday to receive the peti lion again, wlieu the election win he ordered, 1 If enough names can be had. We have Ire- j ouently been asked why the question was! not submitted to the township instead of thci town. The only reason that we can ci ve is j that the j-tofklioldcis were too wise to undertake so big a Job. Surer*. In talking of the railroad tax. it may be paid that some people a fleet to sneerat. the mite which the imi?*cunious e!tl/.cn would tie mulcted for in the levy of the railroad tax. This Is all wrong. The rich man can pay his bundled dollars easy enough, and be thereby deprived of no necessary comfort or desired luxury, but the poor man who has only a . small amount to pay, may be thereby deprived of bread or meat for a day. The poor man's liickie is just as sacred as the rich man's dollar?however much the rich may sneer at his neighbor's poverty. Mnr<lor i?? Orceinvood. Mr. J. W. Payne, one of the most thorough- , going business*men in Greenwood, gives no-! lice of a great slaughter in prices at his store I He is really oflering great bargains in the nnd most fashionable styles of Milli-J tiery, which department Is presided over by a ! Baltimore lad.v whose tasteand skill in beautifying the divinities Is all the talk of (lie town. The beauty and elegance of the store Is most nttractive, nnd all who so to Grecti- , wood are sure to eall at the Augusta store. j Klcg-ant I)r<tU. The Master, Mr. J. C. Klugh, lia? fitted npj his office nicely, and has placed therein the 1 finest desk we have seen anywhere. It is really a model of elegance and convenience, |1 n< well as an ornament to the office of the nblc and efficient Master. We think the| county of Abbeville should furnish hotter fur- j Jillure for every officer in the Court House, j' I>et the people and their officers have decent i furniture. School Plc-Xlc Excursion. Mr. Gcorse (\ Hod*es has arranged an ex-1 curslon from this village to Greenville on the first of May. The excursions which he has heretofore gotton up have been conducted with great decorum and propriety, and the children have had happy days by his eftorts.

T/et u? have definite promlsesas to when wej' are to have a railroad ? General Hagood makes no definite promises, and we arc requested lo vote bonds on ourselves which are 1 to hang over us forever. If the bonds are voted we will ha*e our hands tied, nnd we cannot help ourselves. General Hagood is hon- j est enough not to advise our people to votej for the bo.ids. j Ntnnd anil Deliver. Our forefathers went to war about a little j lax on ten. Must we submit without a niur- , mur to an enormous tax to raise money to pay the salaries of officers, aud the funeral expenses of a dead railroad. If our friends , shou'd succeed in getting authority of law lo ] take from us our beds and our homes, should . Ihey njt blush to acknowledge the victory ? i Welcome Bnrk. Mr. J. A.

T)r. E. K. Harden, who has recently erndu- ; nted from the University of Maryland, will ] locate in Abbeville at an early day to prac- , tlce medicine.

Although It has i>e"n bubbling up its curative liquid for several years, but few out of the neighborhood have ever heard of Its great healing nropeities. Persons suffer- 1 inir from kidney disease and inflammation of _ bladder have been effectually relieved. Others suffering from dyspepsia and indigestion have been greatly benefited by the use of this water. We suppose the coiiuumiity is as 1 healthy as any in the State. Mr. J. I,.

There are oilier j s very importat considerations, which space will not allow us to nicniion. There can be t no doubt that tanners and merchants as well, a u:e. throughout this whole section much bet-1 h leroir linancially than in former years, It is d true there is much scarcity of money Jiist'e now, but that Is because every planter has a made an effort to pay cash for supplies upon which to make the present crop.

Greenwood and vicinity has been especially "avored with cood preaching during the last woweeks. Following closely the meeting in he Baptist church was a few days meeting it communion season in the Presbyterian hurch In which the pastor was assisted liy . Itev. Mr. Novell. Mr. Novell preached several very able sermons in which he pointed . nit unmistakably the duty of professed . Jhristlans and presented in the clearest light " he plan ot sulfation, and what action neces- ? o receive It. It does seem that a great deal M if grnxl ought to result from so much good ireachlug. A bountiful harvest of souls ?-ould not of itself be a revival in Greenvool. The work ol necessity must begin , villi those already In the Church.

'i'lie farmers have done a great deal I f work. In the past mouth, and arc feeling omewliat encouiagcd; many predict a boun-j HitI crop. Wheat is looking beautifully, and ats are better than it was once thought they I i'ouM ever be. Much corn has already been lamed, and some are planting cotton; the ardens arc looking very nicely indeed, and i> many sweet, bright flowers gladden us rlierever we may chance to look. The girls ml boys warmly welcome the season of Ilowrs, and arc oi ten seen walking through the ards, slopping every no a* and then loexpaiate upon the peculiar beauty of some leaf or ud, and 1 dare say. while bending over them. Dine beaux and belles exchange vows of eteral fidelity. They are anticipating n gay senna, arc already beginning lo plan and arii'iso for plc-ulcs.

I proposed, some time ago, to j xchangea gallant Georgian for a Carolinian, j ut no one accepted my proposition, and I am j cry glad of It, for we have such a nice time I j refer to remain in Georgia. We met last unday evening at l-'loral Hill Academy lo rganlze h Sabbath School,about forty Joined, lilnk we will have quite a nice tiniv. The andsomest young men, the nicest looking oung ladle*, and last but not least, the sweet-t little girls and boys in tlie country go licro. 1 had almost forgotten to tell you that Ir. J. F. ('.
