?if. i i, i- Brides
and (UrooitiMi
Since the world began Abbeville hns never
had us many beautiful brides and as many
Happy grooms as are to be found now.
Mr. J. A. Harris came lir-t on tlie lisf
with his winsome bride. Miss Cooler; Mr. P.
wfxirind the accomplished Misji
Visanska; afterward Mr. W. C. McGowari
claimed us his own the baud of the stately
Miss Matthews; next followed Mr. I). L.
Mabry, who has undertaken to cherish arid
honor forever the lovely Miss Lilu "Wardlaw,
l:ast night Mr. 1*. D. Mazyck became the
husband of the queen-like Miss Sadie Livingston.
Other n?"n are soon to be added to
the li?tof Benedicts, but for fear of anticipating
their pleasures we will wait the mention of
their names until they shall have been made
Happy forever. As a special friend or guest
of all the brides in town is the beautiful and
charming bride of Mr. J. C. Carv, of Seneca,
beautiful in person, lovely in character, attractive
in grace, she is honored and loved
by all of our people.
About Ginning: Cotton.
"We have heard some complaint of the difficulty
of getting cotton ginned in thecountry.
"Wo ivnnitf siarnest that all persons living
AvJthiu ten or twelve miles of thS village to
bring their cotton to the gins In this pi net1.*
Ample facilities arc here for ginning all that
may be brought. The price is theone-twentyJfTth,.
and the machinery is first-class. The
cotton and thesecd are ready in the market.
The Suggestion to bring cotton to the Abbeville
gins is especially applicable where it is
intended .to sell the seed. As & rule it would
be better for the army worm, or caterpillar,
to strike a man's place* Julian to have.a travelling
giu and thresher quartered on the larni.
Prices at Abbeville^
Cotton is sick, drooping; Stnins; 7J4 to 7%.
Middlings, 8 to 8*4- Ciood middling, 8% to 814.
Owing to the excessive receipts at the oil

left Pensaeola yesterday for Jacksonville,
where they are now visiting. From letteiR to
friends here these young ladles represent their
visit to the Land of Flowers as one of unalloyed
pleasure.
Some one at Dr. Grier's must be deeply Interested
In the new combination lioe; This
inference is drawn from the fact that the
agent for that article puis In a great deal of
his time when hereat the Doctor's.
If all the matrimonial rumors {'.float be true.
Due West s stock of unmarried ladies will
soon be depleted, and the place become a
howling wilderness in one respect at least.
Why is it that those ladies who fascinate
and captivate every gentleman with whom
they come in com act ure always unpopular
with their own sex?
Col. Lewis M, Grist of the Yorkvllle Enquirer
is the most patriotic man In the business,
lie invariably spells the word "nationr' (American)
with a bis "N."
If the people of tills country never do anything
worse on the Sabbath day than read
newspapers, whether printed on t hat day or
on any other day in the week, we imagthe
?i?,? ?,m f?,.? iM./ttiv woll when the final
Hi?H> UJVJ- nan imx wv
I reckoning is made. The newspaper is the}
best educator we have; and whatever edu-'i
cates, in the sense in which we use that tcrfn. l
must elevate ami refine instead of demoralize
and degrade." Otherwise we had just as well
close up all our institutions of learning.
Who would have thougnt that the weak,
trembling old man who was nominated for
the Presidency by the Democrats at St. Louis
in 1870 would outlive the hale, hearty pentleman
who was associated with him on the ticket?
But so it is. Mr. Hendricks has Joined
the "great majority," whil<* the Sage of Gram
mercy still lives, with his prospects for lentrlh
of days apparently as good as when, nine
years ago, lie was elected President of the
United States.
The respect paid throughout the South to
Proideut Cleveland's proc'amution settins
apart last. Thursday as a day of thanksgiving
and praise to God tor his unbounded goodness
to us as a people and the general observance
of the occasion as such, would seem to indicate
the fulfilment of the prediction made by
the lamented President Lincoln in his speech
at the meeting held to inatigurato the Gettysburg
Memorial Association. On thatOecaslon
Mr. Lincoln said: "The mystic chords of
memory, stretching from every patriot's grave
to every living heart and hearthstone, will
yet swell with the glor'ous mu*icofthe Union
when touched, as they surely will be, by the
better nnjjels ot our nature."
The war of words between "R. S. G.," Senator
Henderson and Kditor Drayton has come
to an end and every thing is lovely. MR. S.
G." has apologized to Henderson and Drayton,
wprfiiprsnii nnd Dravton have apologized to
"R. S. G.t" and the three seen, to have mcnrcd
themselves into a very enthusiastic little Mutual
Admiration Society. All hands have
now o'iiguued Ln the apology business save the
"dirty I)utch."' As they nttacke 1 nothing fc'iif.
the Cumberland Gup Railroad, of course they
had no apologies to make. "Let us have
peace."
We think that the Rev. W. L. Pressly, Ih his
sermon Inst Sabbath morning, was unfortunate
in his selection of Knuiund jis an illustration
of the greatness achieved by a nation
through the influence of the Bible, for against
no heathen nation that ever existed can such
h mountain of wrong be heaped up as ngainst
England. It is the boast, of an Englishman
that the sun never goes down upon the iiritish
Empire, But how has this territory been
acquired? By bloody wars, cruel injustice
and the absorption of the weak by the powerful:
Wheh.bent upon Conquest England has
never stopped at oily sacrifice. ot blood and
treasure or any display of cruelty and injustice,
and the record of that country in this
respect eclipses that of any other nation on
t he globe. The treatment of the Irish people
alone is enough to damn England in the eyes
of every man who loves liberty and hates
wrong and oppression. For not a tithe of the
wrong done to Jrcland, the American colonists
declared themselves "trefc and indepen
d<-nl(" and after u seven yenrs' struggle mrew
oft lUe galling yoke of Kneland ana ushered
into existence the United States of America.
And God speed the day when Ireland too will
arise in her might, and tearing loose from the
grasp of her English oppressor, stand "free
and independent" among the nations ol the
earth.
The Rev. Howard Crosby, I). D.. nnd the elders
of his Presbyterian church in Fourth Avenue,
New York, recently addressed a letter
to the tongregatibn, exhorting thcrn to give
up the reading of Sunday newspapers, on t he
ground that it"unflts the mind for serious
thought," "draws it away from God's word,"
and' nullifies all the sacred influence of the
I Lord's day." Commenting upon this letter,
the New York 6'tm says: ''People know that,
as a matter of fact, Dr. Crosby and his elders
and laymen do not live up to the precepts of
! that letter. During the hours of service a
line of carriages stands in front of Dr. Crosby's
Fourth Avenue church, and the coachmen
amuse each other as best they can while the
Doctor Is preaching his sermon. They arc the
carriages and servants of elders and other
members of tlie church who Are inside listening
to the pulpit eloquence, attd work is required
of them on Sunday when In reality
there Is no occasion for It. Yet this littler attack
the Sunday newspaper because it necessitates
Sunday labor?because it "employs a
I liirjjl' iiumuer ui perMins mr n.t tsuc u|iifu
i God's holy day." Apropos to this. The wrlt;
or knew u minister In St. Louis who was ucj
customed to denounce the Sunday newspaper
| very bitterly, but who did not scruple to patronize
the street-oars in going to and from
j his cbtiroh, and we always thought that be
j should endeavor to make himself "consist,"
so to speak.
Thanksgiving Day was generally obsorved
by the denizens of Due West. At 11 o'clock A.
M. our people repaired to the A. It. P. church
| whera. after appropriate songs of praise, the
j Rev. W. L. Pressly spoke eloquently and appropriately
of the many reasons the Ameri;
can people had for giving thanks to the Giver
, of all good things. In the course of his rcj
marks Mr. Pressly alluded to the vast extent
; of our territory, the fertility of our soil, the
I variety of our productions, the salubrity of
j our climate, our exemption trom epidemics
! and from wars and rumors of wars, the nonpartisan
administration of the government,
the fact that the South is now not only "an
| integral but an equal" part of the govern;
rnent, the civil and religious liberty we enjoy,
i A.c.. &c. And truly we have In this land of
j ours a magnificent herlt?p:o. Horc In this asy,
lum lor the oppressed of all lands and tongues
every man is vouchsafed the privilege of wor!
shiping (Jod according to the dictates of his
own conscience with none to molest and make
i him afraid ; here one is scarcely ever out of
j sight of those great landmarks of advanced
I civilization?the church nndtheschool-house;
here there is no royal road to wealth or distinction
; here the pauper of to-day may he
the millionaire of to-morrow; here tailors
and canal boys develop into Presidents, shoemakers
into Vice-Presidents, street Arabs into
Congressmen and bootblacks Into Governors
of States; here each honest. Industrious
citizen, no matter how humble his sphere in
life, is the peer of all his fellow-citizens; here
where no man, however exalted his position,
] should ever be referred to or spoken of as "His
| Excellency." IIow the heart of each American
should swell with pride and burn with
patriotic ardor as he contemplates the wonderful
arowth ol the little tree of liberty
planted by our forefathers and watered with
[ their blood! From a few weak and insignifiI

Soirtc of the bitterest opponents to the railroad
tax at first, have re-considered, and now I<
will use all their influence In favor of it; As
for ourselves we can see no Just grounds fdr v
opposition. This rorld when built will be
owned and controlled by the taxpayers and li
those who otherwise contribute to the capital c
stock, and the flimsy excuse that only it few
local points will be benefitted is all bosh, fl
Cheap freights are what \ve want, and we Z
would like to know who eet6 the benefit o( 0
freight reductions; If the freight ou a bushel of
meal can be had for five cents frthn Augusta to
this point, then we would have a reduction of g
live cents. Vlio who woum reap mis uuvhii- ^
tagc? Unquestionably the consumer, let him
be farmer or mechanic. The merchant o
charges a very low profit on the necessaries of c
life, and of course the lowef his freights the c
cheaper lie cun sell his goods. The advnnta- p
ges claimed at all mercantile points In the
up-country are lipoh the ba<U of cheap d
freights and with equal freights the mer- u
chants of Ninety-Six can and will sell you g
goods as cheap as any i-et of merchants in the
State.
Last Saturday was a very inclement day
yeta large cotton business was done. It seems
that wet weather pushes the staple into market
An enterprising farmer living in the Cow
Grove section concluded last week that the
Ninety-Six cotton buyers were not up with
market. So he thought to himself, "I will
steal a march on those fellows, and then
laugh at them." Well, he did steal the march,
hut the laugh has not been heard. He hauled *
his cotton to a neighboring town and could f
not realize what he thought it was worth; '
was out two days and one night, and came
driving into town, tired and hungry, so hungry
that he had not Lime to sell his cotton until
he ate some cheese nnd crackers. He final- .
ly sold his cotton at satisfactory priccs nnd
went on Ms way rejoicing, I do riot iiic/in
this as a teflectib'n oh our sistef toftn her

btiy their goods here and do all their business r

Last Sabbath was the fifth Sunday, as is f
customary in our town all the Sunday-Schools t,
met en masse. This has been the custom for 11
several years for all the schools to meet at e
one or other of the churches, and that the of- .
fleers of that church would provide a speaker a
for the occasion. Last Sunday was the day
in course at the Methodist church, and in
their wisdom they hail asked the ltev. Mr. r
Richardson, of Abbeville, to spertk to the
children, and right well did he do it.
His was an address to the children; he did r
just what he was asked to do, and everybody
was del tub ted. The children were able to understand
and appreciate what he said to
them, and we hope he will come to see us
again. At the conclusion of his address he 1
was asked to present to the Itev. S. P; Hi Elwell
& beautiful g<>|d headed cane. This was
a gift of the Met hodist Sunday School to th<ir
pastor as an evidence of their confidence, love
and esteem. Mr. El well's reply was full of
feeling and love.

youim salesmen were delighted.
The Rev. M. B. Galphln and bride are In

Work on the Atlantic, Greenville and
North Western Rahroad has commenced, and
we assure our friend who thinks we have too .
nmcli name that "there Is nothing in a name." 1
Our enterprise Is on a solid foundation. We
are confident that the road will be built, and
we can see no reason lor uoummn iu jri?jp??- *

at par. Time is till we ask for. We are certain
to have the road. Pluck and energy, backed
by money, will be sure to succeed.
This is a good time to work the roads, and ,
we hope our .efflcient supervisor will give this A"
matter his earnest attention.

Our new post office case arrived last week a
and is up ready Tor boxes to be rented. We c
think, as the oHice is in a store, and the post- I
master is frequently busy when persons call I
for their mall, that It should be put at the
window on the outside. In this way, any one
with a box can get his mall at any time,
night or day. We merely suggest this as a
much better mode than the present one. r
Rstin and dull t imes is all the go in town.
Late on Monday evening Capt. Rich of the
construction train kindly tendered us an invitation
to accompany him as far as the track
was layed on theHauannah Valley Railroad.
At H o'clock, we were all in n box car safely,
lint n/it frkrtnl.lv cnntoH Thnrf? \rnro fiiorht.
or ten of us. The road bod is splendid ns far
as it lias been completed. We were much surprised
to find a new road in such n nice condition.
It is true Iliat the road Is very crooked,
but the muster engineer Mr. Radcliff. made r
the turns most successfully. We arrived nt 1
the river about -LI5o'clock (or rather in a few J
hundred yards of the bridge.) Some weeks
ago I wrote you that the Iron bridge would tie
finished last week, but the temporary bridge
IsstIII there and trains nre dal'y passing over
it. The iron is on the ground anu Is expected -j
to l>e put up hy the 1st Jauunry, 1886, that Is
the iron works will be done, so tlint trains
can cross. We had the Dleasure of meeting
at the new bridge Dr. and Mrs. Glbert ana
Miss Sallie, their beautiful daughter. The
Doctor Is very sanguine of a nice town near
his residence. It is a very pretty location and
will doubtless be a large place. However, we
wish that Bordeaux may be a rival of Charles- ?
ton. On account of considerable freight, we
were late in getting home, but we found the
old lady in a pleasant humor aud was rather
sorry that we did not have a small wreck.
We don't know Mr. Editor, what she meant,
but we think she thought that a good chance
might be offered toescape thehymenial band.
