Our exchanges arej' lull ot elaborate accounts of the service in various cities. The day was not gen- ' erallv observed itt audcvuic, umu^i wuu, lonely Confederate grave was ornament- t' >ed with flowers. That soldier sleeps uu- j u <ler a eedar on the lot now belonging to j J. F. C. DuPre, on the left side of the h] new street which leads to the rear ol' Fort 11 Pickena. lie was buried by two negro! ?nen who had had small pox, with none v else to witness the act. In I860 that sol- ^ <iier on his return from Northern Virginia to his home was taken ill in this town with small pox. He and others similarly atfflicted were quartered in an isolated liouse near by. During his illness he re- s quested the attending physician, Dr. Par- j > I.io r.imik* and infnvm I Ktil', LU n 1 HC HI UIO lining >?.u .......... . them of bis fate. The Doctor's note of his | a Biame and their address was lost, and the <lyiug request was never complied with, e Ah well as we can learn he was about thirty years of aije. It is thought that he P come from Alabama. ) Soon after his burial, a sweet little girl jc who now herself sleops beneath the i'ra-j ,grance of the violets that grow within S Hie sound of the ocean's restless tide, planted the little cedar sprig which now <3 shades and marks the nameless soldier's ^rrave. His warfare is over?her labor of j.. Oove is ended, but the incense from that kindly act of twenty years ago still rises to the skies. Chiefly through the thought- 0l fulness of Dr. Marshall's family that grave has not been forgotten during any ft of the years that have come and gone since then. For several years the Maga- n y.ine Hill school children have decorated that grave. This year. Miss Mattison and her scholars, assembled about the grave J* -and left their flowers there. Other soldiers are buried at the Episcopal cemetery and at Upper Long Cane cemetery. Neat headstones mark their resting idaces, and note the names, so far as mown, of the sleepers. In times past A all these graves have received attention from kind hands, but the service is not .religiously observed with each recurring ZMemoriaf Dav. tf Coine to the Hall. hi Editor A. S.

Miss Thompson had suggested to the 51 young ladies the propriety of organizing the class into a grand party for the eve- ei iiing, and that to do so successfully, each of the scholars should bring with her a P pound of something good for the taste.; Jn this way the young ladies made an!88 occasion of pleasure to themselves, their] . teacher, and all others who may have!81 been fortunate enough to be present. j . Kidnapped. I Last Monday two weeks ago, two tnen ! <*arue from Georgia, and forcibly took ! , Henry Heard, colored, from the planta-P' tion of Dr. Marshall, near Calhoun's | Mills, and carried h!ui over the river into " <ieorgia. The men, it is said, alleged that they were the Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff of Lincoln county. They were thought to be under the influenced' whiskey. ?. , The Siek. 1J1 Mrs. II. D. Reese is much improved. <r) Dr. 11. T. Lyon is still extremely l'ec- ? 1'lc. I J., Mrs. Bethea is still quite sick, though indications are favorable. The dancing lessons are now closed. . The young people have had a delightful time of it for about two or three months, i and it is presumed that the dancing will j now be discontinued for a season. We do . not pretend to any that there is any harm 1 1 in dancing, but we'are inclined to the! -opinion that too much association and too' frequent meeting of the young people at 1 public halls is not conducive to good. j g. The Abbeville township Farmers' i Club will meet in the Court House on j ai Saturday, 29th of May.

This part of the exercises were held lti the ( campus, not by "the light of the moon," but by the light, of Chinese lanterns and huge 1 bonfires. This part of the entertnlnment was far too short as was testified by the vast crowd lingering even after the company had retired to their quarters, Thus closed one of the most successful entertainments the Col- ( lege hns ever given.

He has now reached that stage in his college career that he has been so loiiur looking for? a full-flfdired Junior. But when he realizes 1 the great fact he is struck dumb with fear, and in turning over the musty leaves of histories long forgotten and encyclopedias innumprable for something upon which to base his thoughts, he has almorft made up. hi* mind to leave-college.

As I have so often t>eijn asked Mr. Editor, of i ( my moilm operandi in the cultivation, time of j, planting, dc.. of this excellent vegetable, I ] thought.. It you deem invnrin rue nonce, 1 would nive the public the benefit of my experience, thereby enabling thein to have three eropp Instead of two, viz: Spring, Hummer and Winter. The first by its rapid growth will be equally or more tender than the latter. I will first say, according to Buist and it is also my own experience, that cabbasre plants should grow where planted, should not be transplanted if you expect a good percentage to head. Where not removed ninety-five per cent, will head. Where transplanted about sixty percent-, will head. About 1st .September, after making your bed very rich and well pulverized, lay It off In I cheeks three feet each way; put. in each check a shovel full of well rotted stable manure; on this place a little dirt, and then plant on each little mound four or five seed of Buist's late improved Drumhead or Flat Dutch. Later on, as the winter may become severe, place around each plant (being now thinned out to one in a hill,) more manure to keep them 1 wanned up. Never protect them, If you do, i they arc lost. The idea is to get them about I half grown before winter. If too young they I cannot, survive, and if too old or planted too 1 early they will mature before freezing weath- i or. Protecting them renders the plant more < tender and its inability to stand the freeze. 1 Mntii' rtf tlium iirrO^nhlV hiilf will lir> trilled 1 down even with tiio ground, but should there be the least speck of creeii on the stalk it will put out In early spring and make as line cab- ! bage as any. This last, winter has been the i longest and severest that we remember, still J. have plants that weathered it through, i They are r.ow nearly three feet across and i commencing to head, and this growth has been put. on In less than sixweoks. i Last year I had line hard cabbage, ten and i twelve pounds, the latter part of April. Com- i Ing in as they do as soon as any vegetable in i the garden, and by cropping them, as we often do, they come in long "before anything else. C. 31. C. Troy Items. Troy May Ifi, 1SS6. Base ball fever is now raging here especially among the small boys. On last Friday the second nine of Greenwood came down to tackle Troy's third nine. Upon t heir arrival j It. was at once seen that, they were too large to j nlsi.v our little fellows, but with that pluck I which is characteristic of our base bill lists j Greenwood was given ?in opportunity to show lis how to nlny in the diamond. At the be-! ginning It was thought beyond a doubt, that ( our boys were no match for the visitors, but I ns will be seen by the score below the home club were victorious. Mr. J. W. Lyon umpired the game to the entire satisfaction of all, giving all doubts to the visiting club. Ed. Chiles and Miller Ribert, two of our smallest boys on the nine, deserve special mention for their splendid playing. The following Is the score: (ireenwood 23 Troy M Mr. A. G.

I Proposition to Boycott the House for its Recent Treatment of Mr. Cunningham. Anderson Journal. If the Abbeville Press and Banner Is correcty informed Its statement* att'ord the best of easons for a mercantile boycott. Some time n last January Messrs. Cunningham & Tenijlctou, of Abbeville, made an assignment lor lie benefit of their creditors, Mr. Cunninirlam including even his bed and 1'urnlture In :he assignment. At the meeting of the credlors a majority of them resolved to return all he room furniture to Mr. Cunningham, and urthermore exhibited theli" confidence in dm by appointing him as their agent to close in flio hiiclnosn Snmp nf !hf* r?rnrlitors rpfns. J to accept the ucMoa of the majority, and >he ftrm, Davenport & Morris, grocers, of Richmond, Va., commenced action against VIr. Cunningham. Wethinkother merchants diould resent such treatment by resolving, ndlvidually ?nd collectively, to withdraw Datronjige from Davenport & Morris. No nerctmnt. knows how soon adverse clrciini.tances will compel hlrn to make an assign* ncnt, and In such cus?s there will be some jrlm satisfaction in the knowledge that Dav;n port & Morris have not the power to p.ush llm to the wall.

'In consequence of this action no county examinations will ho held in July next. You are hereby authorized to continue it) force until October all certificates ind licenses which expire in July." Pcaclien and Frost. In conversation with Col. James Wallace, of -lie Eastern Shore, lie gave us some of his experience with peach trees. From personal experiments he has become satisfied of the folowiug facts: Trees that lose their leaves eary are apt to have their buds swell duiing the ivarm weatherof siuuimn, nnd every bud so swelling will be killed during the winter. He ,hereiore cultivates his orchard and fer-ds it, to that. It will hold Its leaves f<ir into the autumn, and thus Insures bis buds agnin>t the power of the winter's cold. In this case lieonly has the late frosts of spring to contend with, and is much more confident of a crop. Try this experiment, we snail ue gmu to lave it confirmed in otJier parts of the State, [f found correct in other localities it will be ivorth thousands of dollars to the peach growers of our country. It Is one of those discov;rles that add to the farmer's peace of mind oy giving greater certainty of reward for his labor.?Maryland Farmer. Keeping Farm AccouuIm. It will pay every young farmer, says the Saxmnah yews, to begin to keep a.set of accounts more or less elaborate according to his education, ability and the necessity of his operations. Of course the most important, account will be thatdevoted to resources and expenses, In which every item of income and cent paid dui should be placed on opposite pages. Then the cash account should be accurately kept, md the bookkeeper ought.always to be certain that he lias a little cash 011 hand. Individual and family expenses should be kept separate from farm expenses. 'Each crop should have a page devoted to it; for instance ?collofl, CW?ril, liuilimra, nupi U.IUI', 1JLI1IUHO, etc., and so of every other production?as cntMe. hogs, poultry, etc, A half hour's attention to the accounts each day will enable any small farmer to keep them straight so they win each be balanced and a balance sheet showing the result on the whole larm made out at the end of the year. MIsNionnry Sunday in Antrerllle. Antrkvii,I/E, S. C., May 10, 18S6. Editor Press and Unnncr : Allow me space in your columns to say our Missionary day was a succpss. My members of Rocky River A. M. E. church seems to be nwake to the need of the gospel. They said to me Rev. A. J. Hampton preach the word to us and let us know what to do. I selccled for the occasion I lie llith chapter of St. Mark and the lotli verse. "Go preach the gospel to every creature." I asked the friends to give i;ome thing to deliver the heathen from their Ignorance and they came up lively. I wish I could have space in your column to have every name in your paper. The people around Antreville, in Diamond Hill township, seems to be very liberal. No more at present. Rev. A. J. HAMPTON. A Mirror correspondent says there is no excuse for any farmer who neglects to supply his family with fresh ancl wholesoino garden vegetables in their season. Much to the discredit of our farmers it is often the case that people who live in villages, and who have only a small area of land at their disposal, have their tables well supplied with fruits and vegetables during U?e entire season, while their country neighbors, who have plenty of land, go without these important luxuries. that with very little effort they might have in abundance. Many farmers seem to think that work in the garden is labor lost, but I believe there is no work which the farmer can do that will pay him better. The Xeir-s and Courier believes that South Carolina needs, more than anything else, to diversify its farming operations, and it is practicable to have a vineyard and orchard 011 almost every farm in the State. We should raise our ov;n fruit, make our wine, spin ourown cotton ; and we can do all this and A great deal more when our people inform themselves as to the capabilities ot their lands, and learn to otilizo the great opportunities which nature has brought to their doors.

The kitchen, says ?.he American Agriculturist, Is In u large measure responsible for the odors thut creep inu> halls, chambers and closets, finding lodgment in Carpets and curtains, In bfd and other clothing, and evert! among books and brlc-n-brac. Hut it is n<rt; the kitchen alone which creates the unsavory" j atmosphere too common in many homes. Rooms not In constant use should receive at least a weekly airing to prevent the close, musty smell almost sure to gather in unused apartments. The ways and means by which the home stir can he diluted are so many, anu so greatly increased by modern conveniences, that every loop hole, however small, through which bud nir and bad odors may stealthily creep, needs to be carefully guarded insecure the health ahd sweetness of our homes. The Ami'ricttn Cultivator, of Boston, calls attention to the fact that the instinct of a fowl leads it to scratch oven In feeding on a heap of whole grain. This causes it to stop eating lone enough to swallow. We give fowls too much at. a time, and this causes them to stuff themselves s ?as to injure their crops if fed dampened meal. A little whole grain scattered amongstraw will make poultry scratch for what they get and conduce to their healthful ness. Express?Jas. C. Klngh, L. W. Smith, JI L. Bon ham, Mr. J. K.
