The crowd though large and in for the fVin Was good-humored ami well-behaved, and we think one aiul all enjoyed the evening and the game, to say nothing of the Ice-cream and its charming patroness. \Ve b?tt spc.ik our own experience when fte srij* that served l>y such a waitress It was sweeter far than nectrtf IrOnt Htibo'ts own hand, for "A sweeter ilranc'it From a fairer hand. \V;,3 never rtua'^eii" ' Abbeville wt)n the toss and took the field j The old ratable "ISattery,"?Smith and I'erI rln?took their places and Abbeville fe!t safe i In their hands, although the nine had but lit| tie or no practice, The following is u list of the players and their positions : NINETY-SIX 1 J.

On the whole the playing was fairly good, but It was soon evident after the game began that VlnotvJ^lr uuu trtA lltrlif fVir Ahlipvlllo. The NlnelyStx nine was composed mainly of boy8, while the Abbeville nluo wus composed or heavy men avcrsglng 160 pounds each and were too heavy and strong for the boys. The curve pitching of Rico was good, and If he could huvo held up as he began, possibly tlie result would have been different, but he I soon weakfeu6d 61 tWe Abboville boys soon | learned how to "take" a curved ball. Lipscomb played 1st baso well and Crews tvjis a splendid short stop If he could only throw straight? his fielding was line. Kinard was a plucky catch and did his part well. We think, however, take him till In all, Kice was ?h'? best plnyer on tlieiiine.andStowurt about the strongest batter. On the AftbevHIe nlrrettroohtrcllnbto "bntfery" as usual, did Its whole duty and upon them fell the heat and burden of tiro day as they are the main rcllanceof the nine. Thomson did well on first and McMillan fairly "lilt! ed" them on second, whllo Cothrau dist)n' gulslied himself as the O'ltourke fieldei1 of the nine. Mr. W.-II. Holland umnlrwl the emme and while we think in his rulings bo menni to bo fair and Just: an an umpire, he lacks promptness and decision. Ills rulings gave Kalis faction.

After the men are all dead we want to know upon whose shoulders the |>olitical futuro of our town will rest; hut more particularly who is to rock the cradle. Laurens Is again n way station. The through mall and expiess Indus to Port itoyal has been discontinued on the Greenwood, I?aulens and Spartanburg road. Greenwood is blest in having a good beef market, run principally by Tom Head. Hathlng suits for ladies are now in demand. | How unfortunate It Is that we are not situated near a deep stream ! Kd. Keynoldssays he didn't know a woman Could swim. We were pleased to see ('apt.

We do notdoubt the veracity of -'East End" but we never before heard Chappell's accused of being a health resort. My friend, there Is a great responsibility resting ou us reporters. We are now moulding the character and shaplngthellvos of the rising generation who will have to bear I ho blunt of political prowess alter we have passed otf the stage of action. It behooves us, t.hertJforc, to handle Hid truth cautiously, carefully, tcudcrly aud sacredly. Mis. W. II. Slubb, or Augusta, who came up last Sunday has a very sick clilld.

This supposition is based on the evidences that ever and anou ure cropping out. We hear that 3Ir. J. H. Hogun speaks of comiust back to Greenwood. some of our young folks attended a party at Mr. W.
