Alter the citizens of Greenwood heard who mm posed the jury on the Ferguson case, the verdict was anticipated.

Millwec of Greenwood, who* wore ippointcd toselcct a place for tlie agricultural ancnmp/nent visited the location the Itoard it' Trade have selected last Wednesday and ivent from here to Spartanburg. The committee were very much pleased with the location. They will decide 011 the 6th of July i it, which time they will visit Anderson'i md see their location. As we said before' .Jreenwood offers better natural advantages 11 'ban any other competitive point. This lo-j . at ion was recognized years ago as being a;: jood place for such purposes, and there is!1 scarcely a man in Abbeville county who does lot remember with pleasure the large springs [ it the old chalk level muster ground. Theji Greenwood, Laurens and Spartanburg Ilail-ji oad runs-in about one hundred yards of this u spring, and when the Chester, Greenwood and 1: \bbovilic Railroad is built it will run near i his spring on the south side. M'e hear that ome of the committee says that Greenwood s the place to have the encampment but on iccountof sickness they will not give their ;onscut to have it hure. We will compare our i lealth record with any of the competitive i j joints and venture to assert Greenwood can .how a ijroater list of octogenarians than any jIhcc of its size in the State.

The Greenwood Social Club cave 0110 of I' ^hclr elegant entertainments at HI ley's Hotel ast Tuesday evening. The entertainment j< ivas not at largely attended as on former oc-: . asious. still it was a success. Mrs. John Lower, of Columbia, is visiting : icr sister-in law Mrs. \V. T. Matthews. Mr. H.J. Hood, who is the ellielent mail; igenton the ltichmond and Danville Itall-1 road, was in our village last week. Mr. Hood i ias ju<t received his re-appointment with an i increase of salary, and will return to his posi- ! Lion the Inst of tills week. Mr. C. M.

We can, however, say as to size, the I present specimen surpasses any that havej aeen upon the market, this year. We rejrrct that we cannot comply at present j ivith our promise to give the public a history i 31 me rciioois 01 wreenwotKi in me past, as | sonic of the records have been misplaced and | ive have not been able to secure the necessary i information, butsiiU hope to do so in the fu-j in re. la addition to the flourishing institutions | n our village for the benefit ot the wnites, i t > ins also the lirewer Normal Institute which j s now uudcr the super!utendeuce of Prof, j I. D. Uackcnstoso, Principal, with W. 0. Me-1 Lester and wife as assistants, both graduates >f colored university of Atlanta. As we have ;iven a history of this worthy institution in Jie past and the noble work Prof. J lack en-1 dose is accomplishing iu our midst we will' irielly refer again to it. I'rof. lhickenslosej; was born in Geneva. New Yorlt, and uradual-' ?d in Uobart College of tlie same Slate. Alter ' graduating lie taught school in Mississippi j lour or five years, after which time the American Missionary Association culled him to; lake charge of this institution. He arrived, here in September, 1*72, and has been supported entirely by the Association. When lie: lirst came, Ids eoursc was watched with a zrcat deal of suspicion, as cair country at! that time was flooded with Northern sulveii Hirers and scalawags who had eonie hitlier to prey upon the credulous colored man at. the i-xpense of I iic.whit'- race. A few years, however, sufficed to remove all such suspicions, ami tiy his upright and honorable course of life' l>na rr.,iti?<l Him rrwi>i<rf iinf on I V fil' l!n? white citizens of (Jrecuwood lint of the surrounding community. In compliance with i nil invitation from i'rof. Hackenstose to visit , the Institute we availed ourselves of an oj>- j portunity a few evenings nuo and spent a few hours very pleasantly in inspecting the build- j inifsttiid grounds. The main building has four rooms and two large halts. We were par- j tleulariy well pleased with the neatness and order manifested throughout the building, especially in I'rof. liaekenstose's department. It was supplied with new patent desks, upon each of which was placed a large Hi hie. There was also an elegant organ, while numerous maps and black hoards were suspended to the walls. Tlie rooms of the primary i department were also neatly furnished. In the yard were three nice cottages for boarders. After inspectiim the < 'olicjiedepartments we accepted and invitation to visit I'rof. liackeiistosj's private room, winch was elc- i gantly furnished with a beautiful chamber set. and line i'russels earoet. while pictures of I rare value decorated tiiu walls, and cliniccsl i literature <>r magazines and books abounded, nil of which testified to tlie culluro and refinement of its occupant. I'rot. Hackcnstose is a single gentleman , about .'!7 years old. of handsome appearance anil tine bearing. That lie is of an excellent! family can lie testified by one of our citizens who visited (leticva, and was elegantly entertained I i.v i lie Professor's fa in il.v while there, i The attemlanee at this institution for the! year ending was "J.:'., a mom; wliom Anderson. Oconee, I'ickens, (ireenville, l.aurens, Newberry and Edgelicld counties were represented. On account of a little 'unpleasantness between the Professor and his assistants, we doubt if the College lias a?-eonipli.shed as much good during the past, .session as it.! should liave done. The teachers of the pi imai v department held t heir closing c\ereis< s in the A. M. 10. church. Ihivimr received an invitation from some of tlie influential patrons of the school to attend the exercises, on last Thursday evening, in company with a friend, we took in tiic occasion. When we ariivcd an usher politely accommodated us with chairs in front, of the rostrum. The exercises were opened with a tew salutary remarks by \V. (J. Mcl.o-1 ter, after which prayer was ollercd by llev.' \V. Howe. Excellent music was furnished on the organ, lluto und cornet by some of the music scholars. The "Orphan's Prayer" was well rendered and reflected much credit upon the actors. The last piece, "No, No," we had seen acted on a former occasion but not- with the same success its it was this time. Tin-re was one r.ot.tceable feature of this entertainment, which was worthy of imitation hy while institutions, and that was the good order that was maintained during the exercises. The following resolutions wcrr> unanimously adopted by the Greenwood Dcmocintic Club, .Saturday evening. IlrMohvxf, That It is the unanimous sense ol the Greenwood Democratic flub, that Judge J. s. Cotliran should he elected to Congress from the Third District. JiexnlcedUrd. That his position as Judge should in no way impairhis chances for which he is so preeminently fitted. Jlexolvtdl'.rd. That Judge Cotliran high character as a iiuin, u scholar, a soldier mill statesman render him a most proper and unexceptionatily qualified person to represent our district in Congress. Jtcsotved41 h. Tlio Greenwood iiemocrnwc Club, recognize the high position the Congressional District 1ms held in ('(ingress. Wc appreciate tlie active and fa 11 It Tit I service of the present encumbent Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken and recollect with deep gratitude the honor that has been shed upon ihe District by Calhoun, McDuftle, Hurt, 1?rooks, Bonliam and others and know no one so eminently qiiulilled as J. s. Cotliran to fill the office honored by the above distinguished statesman. /{wjfmi f>th. That this Club cannot forget his active service in the Campaign of 1870. to him more than nil others was due the political victory In this County. His eloquent and persuasive tongue was heard in every scctiou of this and adjourning Counties. Resolved Gth. This Club feels confident that Judge Cotliran will be elected by n large majority, and predict that his congressional career will be as high, useful and honorable as has been his life as a soldier, lawyer, statesman and Judge. While we regret that physical inability will deprive the Third Congressional of the service of him who for ten years past so faithfully and honorably represented his suite in the halls of national legislation yet we congratulate ourselves, that -his niontle will fall on worthy shoulders, if Judge Cotliran is elected. We moreover flatter ourself. that wc express the true sentiment of every loyal citizen ol the Third Congressional District that we should elect such a representative, regardless of personal considerations or even ccographi cnl linos, who would oesi represent me intelligence ami highest interest of hi* constituency and uphold the honor aud dignity ol hisstate. Inaccordance with these convictions therefore we heartily endorse the above resolutions. Judge Colli ran needs no introduction to the people of the Third l)istrict. Hts is perhaps as well knowfi to the state as any niah within her limits. His life Is a part of the history ol south Carolina?his record a part ot her illustrious past. Itightly regarding "public offices as a public trust," and an "olllee a public servant," he would zealously guard every interest confided to his care. Having the ability ami courage to express his convictions upon all questions of public interest he would retleet honor upon the State that elected him as ils standard bearer and maintain the exalted position she holds among her sister stales in Congress. Hut liis record needs no encomium from us. It is elmracteri/.ed by a faithful discharge ct every duty imposed upon him. In whatever service he has been called l>> his state, whether upon the tiekl of buttle or upon the arena of heated debate, whether in the bar or upon the bench, lie has proven to tie the pier of any man. lie was no less valiant upon the Held than he is vigilant and sagacious in council. While he so worthily wears the judicial er lnilieoi MIUWI ninniim Iii-Uii.v, UI?1J kv,..o the no loss honorable evidences of duty nobly performed in many a hard fought baltlo in iiis country's deieuee. Upon liiin rest tlic laurels of a tried and faithful public servant. Let. the citizens of the Third Congressional District then honor the valiant soldier, the eloquent statesman, the learned and incorruptible Jurist, Judge ,1. S. Colli ran and he will honor them. A\"e regret there are some burning with an unholy ambition for olfice and an insatiate desire to serve I lie dear people, who are losing no opportunity to criticise Judge Cothran for holding his present position, while allowing tile people to use his naino in the Congressional race. No one knows bettor than they the results, should he ri sign. The Governor lias no Jurisdiction in appointing a successor, and hence llie inconvenience that would arise, or the cost, that would aecruc should the JjegisiMiure he con veiled to elect a successor. Judge Cothr;in Is only performing the part of n conscientious public servant in continuing to faithfully discharge the duties which the people have imposed upon liiin, until they see proper to call liim to a higher llelri of usefulness. Some r>f I hose who are most clamorous in using this urgument to defeat .Incite Cothran, were the most ardent advocates In pressing the claims of General Hancock and Governor Cleveland, for the Presidency, while they still retained theiroflicial positions. Yet they saw nothing to condemn iu their course. 4-Oh consistency thou arta jewel." It,seems that- all depends [in whose'*ox is gored,*' and fur the views of all such Greenwood oilers no endorsement. Y. Z. HEAETS AND HANDS. Ail Olil Lover Mnrrles a Handsome Young Itride. The most notable event of the last week wiis the marriage, on Thursday morning, of I'olouel >1. (?. Tolman to Miss Susan WJiite, both of the Calhoun's Mills settlement, in this County, aged respectively 70 and "!ii years, i'he ceremeny was performed by the He v. A. I ,.f i|,o lw.ii>.- .if Hi,, bride's tatii r*r, Mr. Ezckiei \Vhito, at ten o'clock, June 21, iss*>. 1"11e newly married couple immediately left lor the home t>f Colonel Tolmau, where his bride, till hour later, was installed ?]iieen of liie mansion and lnvestdd with the keys of the household. Their first.meal after t-lio marriage was alone, under their own roof, In the shade of their own vine and flgtree, and their happiness was not less perfect lhan it would have been If tlicy had gone on a journey to distant parts, or had sojourned during the honeymoon at the most crowded of the fashionable Summer resorts. Colonel To)man is one of the most notable ruid best known men of Abbeville county, lie was born at Abbeville Court House in 1*10. belnsr now In the "(ilh year of his age, and having contracted marriage at a greater age than any ot her mun who has ever lived in Abbeville county. Hut he conies from along lived stock, and he lias reason to believe that there are yet in store for him many years of life anil health. His father lived to be ninety years ol age, and It now seems as if the Colonel might see his father's ninety and go ten better. Olonci Tolman is endowed with great ability, and is one of nature's noblemen. To a proud and honorable instinct, he has added much learning, and his familiarity with literary and scientific subjects, makes him an interesting companion. His knowledge of the law, and his cjuiclc perception, together with his strong desire to do tin: right, makes hltnoneof the best arbiters of a neighborhood's difficulties that, can anywhere be found. As a ready and entertaining speaker he is inferior to none'in Abbeville county. Asa writer for tlx? press bis knowledge of facts, and his skill in the use of lnntniaiic enables him to use the purest and best English. Ills retentive memory has made his mind a store house, from which I he history of Abbeville county, and of the country, may be learned. No man now living .is so well acquainted with so many important facts connected with our people, and our ofliecrs of nuhlic note, ns is ('olonci Tolman. Colonel Tolman was oneol'lhe innumerable host of lioys wlio wore l?oni to win their way in life, or t.*> sueennib in the simple against adverse circumstances. When a young man lie enteral tin* store of Captain Joseph Calliotin at. Calhoun's Mills and served as clerk fur several years. ( a|-t:iin Calhoun perceiving his excellent business i|iialitics, took him Into partnership with him in the store. In isi:5 (japtain Calhoun died, and in 1813, Colonel Tolnian married his widow, who was the mother of the wile of our fellow townsman l)r. .1. \V. \V. Marshall and ot Miss Kliza Calhoun, now of Washington. 1). C. On his marriage Colonel Tolman came into the posses.sion of a very large property, and he lived until the war in the urea test ease and e.onifort. The sa>ne oht story ahoiit the loss of property In consequence of the result of the war will apply as truthfully to Colonel Tolnian as to any other of our rich men before the war. Hi" was reduce:! to a (arm of live hundred acres of land 011 which is a modest house situated midway between Mt.

There seems to hp, at present. hut little dls; position 011 the part of our politicians to seek Legislative honors. Although the campaign j is far advanced, aud only a lew weeks yet remain bet ween now and the primary election, | i only a small number of names, so far as we havo heard, have been mentioned In connection witii ths Senate and the House of Itepre- ' sen fat Ives, to Jill the seats to which Abbeville county is entitled in the General Assembly, j General It. K. Hemphill, who is well known ; to the people of Soutii Carolina,as lawyer, ed- ! , j it or, and politician, is the only candidate for ,! Senator. The prospect is, that he will have J ! "a walk-over." with the certainty of election, I even though lie have opposition. , W. 11. Parker, Esq., is a candidate for re- ' election to a suit- in the House of Represent atives. Having distinguished himself in the House in former years for hl? ability and in- ' ; tlueneo in ttic General Assembly, and having ' ; won the confidence and respect of his con- ' I ... i.i? ??.t nf jSlUUIMlUt UJ ma iiu.ivi-17 mm ... j expression of opinion at home and in Columbia, liis re-election is assured. Mr. Barker's ' legal attainments, and his cultivated ju- j diciai mind eminently qualify him for a scat on t tic Circuit Bench, If a vacancy should 1 I occur this winter, and with Ills popularity | unions tile members of the House Liis election J can scarcely be doubted. Kllis G. Grnydon, E<q., is also a member of I the Abbeville Bur, distinguished for his abill ty and application to the interests of hisclljents. He has served one term in the Legisla- , j ture, and no one could have been more care J | ful of tli'i interests of his constituents than ' j lie was. He introduced some excellent f ills in the House, aud his outspoken expression of I opinion on all subjects was a matter of note. I Mr. Gray do u made at) excellent member, :md the people will nodoubt manifest their appreelation of him by returning hlin lo the Gieueral Assembly. Colonel Oeville T. Calhoun, is a member of the Abbeville Bar, and is well known to the , people of the county for his many excel lent , j personal qualities. We have no doubt that i ids fidelity ami honesty of purpose will com,! mend him to the favorable consideration of a j majority of the voters of Abbeville county, He lias been an officer of the County Democratic Ciub for several years, and ills public J spirit and sincerity of speech will commend . hi in to the people. Although lie was quite a I t...< i.a .. ..i.Q.1 it,iiiia rmrt lu ttir? war nnd 11 since Ihon every public enterprise find every | question of public Interest, 1ms commanded ; Ills earnest thought and sincere expression of - opinion, without regard to the popularity of ] the opinion. Colonel Culhoun would inake a : good Representative. Judge J. Fuller Lyon, the present incumbent of theollieeof Probate Judge, hns tilled the ollicc so acceptably. and is.so popular with the people, that we believe no one will oppose his re-election. He, no doubt, has the inside track, ana any new man that should come out at this late clay, would likely lose his announcement lees. Capt. J. T. Parks, ever faithful and efllHent as County Auditor, seeks the votes of the ' readers of the Pret? and Banner to re-elect him to that olllcc. Captain Parks lias a tine i record as a soldier, as a citizen, and us an officer, anc. we have rio doubt that he will receive the liberal support of the people whom he has served so acceptably In the past. As Jan olllcer lie is incorruptible, and no man need seek to hide Ins property from taxation, land then expect him to connive at the act. I Hu Is OIK! of till! lew 111011 WHO W0U1U require exact returns from ull alike, and for this mison lie Is an acceptable mail for the olllco. Cnpt. Ii. Cowan, who Is so well known to the people ol Abbeville county, as a practicable i mail with ' good horse heiise." seeks the votes of the people of Abbeville county for ! the olliea of School Commissioner, and he j deserves to rcceivc them. During his < ; whole career, lie never denied a school to any < i children because their parents were nimble to I buy the land on which they lived. lie reduc* i i ed the pay of teachers from SiO.OO a mouth to MDO), and thus doubled the school tern), i When lie is re-elected, he will, we presume. 1 I reduce the pay of.teachers to$10.00, S12.00 ami I SI.J.O11 a liiuii Hi, and give us schools for nearly 1 ! the whole scholastic year. He will also establish scnools where they are most needed, J and where tliey will accommodate the greatest number of children. ' We have three good men running for the I office of County < 'onunissioner, and It Is said ] that Capt.J. X. King of Ninety-Six will enter the Held, to make it lively, ( apt. Kins is a I iiniiii.. vnirii.rd citizen, who is ever active in j whatever pertains to the welfare of tho county. Jle is 011c of the lea dins spirits In the j Nicety-Six stock Show, and was the man to Introduce the primary plan of clectionu in Abbeville county, and Abbeville county was the first county to adopt the plan in tlie State. 11 now seems thai the primary plan j will heroine universal. I ('apt. Joel W. Llt.es of Troy Is a candidate for the ollice of County Commissioner, and '! lie is eminently qualified for the discharge of the important trusts imposed by the acceptance of that ollice. He lias, we believe, never been before the people for any ollice until now, hut he is nevertheless well known In all parts of the county. His character, and hi* sterling qualities will commend him to the voters of Abbeville county. He would make a first-class County Commissioner. Mr. James A. Mct'ord, the present chairman of the Hoard of County Commissioners is a candidate for rc-ciection. The public know Mr. MeCord to be a man of unimpeach' able integrity, and an officer who is always l anxious and willing to discharge the delicate land important, duties of this ollice in a way j which shall bo salis.'aetory to the citizen and I at the same time command the approval of the public, whose financial agent ho is. His I past record as an ollleer is the best guarantee I of his fidelity and etllclency as an otlicrr. The public will give him a generous vote. He deserves well at their hands. Capt. G. >1. Mattlson, better known in Abbeville connly than any man who has ever of! fercd for the place, is out again for the offloe I of County Commissioner. All agree t hat lie i has never been excelled as a guardian of the j public funds, and as an ofllcer that would enI force the road laws. With economy In the I treasury, mid with good public highways to I travel, the people should be satisfied. No nuin has ever made a better County Commissioner. J t is useless to say more. While the list candidates is not larce, the ability and character of the men, w ho are ' seeking ofliee is as high as the highest standlard which has ever been reached in this county. The reader of the Pram nnil Bonner | will h*ive no trouble to fill out hi? ticket, i from the above named men. They ask and j deserve the consideration of our readers, and i we hope that they may keep the above paragraphs for the future reference, or turn to 1 tiie list of candidate* in our pap^r when they I go to make up their tickets. We pre only I sorry that we cannot help our readers to a j full ticket for the Legislature. It is to be ' hoped that we may yet be able to present, a ! full list if for no oilier purpose tliau to make ! a lively race. ?

The Shadow of Angels' Wings* "Out of the depths of sorrow, I looked to our home above. Preyine for strencth and comfort? Some sign of our Father's love, Darkly the shadows fell o'er me, My tears made all things dim, ] wondered why God let sorrow Wa6le strength, I would uso for him. "Out in the fields of gladness, I worked with ready will; New in the valley of sorrow, I must cheerfully serve him still, >:<? viilm. to snotlie and comfort. There was naught, but the slleuee deep; Ai<(l I, front this land of gladness, 1'assed Into the rtalius of sleep. "Then In my dreams before me, I beheld a maidcu fair: 111 her hand a lamp she carried, And guarded Its light with enre? This was the only radiance. That shone on her dreary way, For o'er her fell a shadow, Dispelling the light of day. Even while she wept In sorrow, Her eyes beamed through her tears Willi a look ot trustful sweetness As if faith had banished fears. She looked e'er up to heaven. And as I too looked on high, I saw a beautiful angel Bending earthward irom the sky: Scorning as though he'd shield her From harm that the glare might bring For the darkness, in my dreaming, Was the shadow of his wing: Then I knew God's love sends shadows As well as sunshine bright. And I could gladly serve Him In darkness its well as in light. Oh when I woke from my dreaming, My spirit was strong and culm, I felt, the presence of angels, And my wounded heart found balm, E'en now, that beautifnl vision, To my soul sweet comfort brings For I know that often our sorrows Are shadows of angels' wings."
