The Press and Banner Wednesday, Oct. 6, 1886. The Town Dog ns 'Possnm II mi tor. Olie nigni lasi witk some inir young ?vn- | tleinen went 'possum hunting. They took: with them a choieo town dog, leading it by a rope or string nntii they got well into t lie woods or fields where the most 'possums were thought to abound. At a sufficient distance from town, and In the midst of the hunting ground where toothsome 'possum was thought to lie, the don was turned loose and Kent out in the darkness on its mission, when i it Immediately disappeared. ! Every ear was open, and every moment they ! dog. The hunters gave him an unascertained | number of encouraging '"whoopees," but nevexpected to hear encouraging notes from that , or a sound did they hear in reply. Afterwards he was affectionately called loud and ' long. Still no answer. Finally tho conviction was forced upon them that, their dog was lost or had deserted them. They then re? j turned home where the honest, dog was the first to give them the most cordial welcome. 1 The Cn.se Against Ilnmlin. < The oase of tin- State against A. It. Hamblln j of tills county will be called at Anderson this i weok. unless the Solicitor should consent to , not pros the indictment. The prosecutor. Xel- . son, and a long petition from citizens of the community have asked the Solicitor to nol pros the Indictment agatnst Hamblln for ( riot, etc. The Solicitor says he will do so ou ( condition that Hamblin will plead guilty of f carrying concealed weapons. It is thought J that HHinblin will accept the condition, and 11 thus end the case. Nelson, the prosecutor, will refuse to testify against Hamblin as to ? the riot. The charge of currying concealed t weapons can. no doubt, be proved by others, s and lie will likely make no defeucc ou this c charge. 5 Tlie Cbestfr, 4?r<*eiiwoort mid Abbe- 1 villo Railroad. * Petitions, praying the County Commission- ' ers to order an election levying a three per cent, tax, is being circulated among the real estate owners ot Abbeville, and nearly every- J body Is signlug It. If the people along the ' lino vote bonds to the road, and if the rights " of way Is secured the road will bo built. 1 There can be no doubt about this. There is no doubt about another fact. We need the road, i; and it will do us good all the days of our a lives. r Lowndesville is wide awake on the railroad a question. We learn that tlie people there are making preparations to otFer &.V.O0O to net it _ to run through that town. The surveyors are j now in the neighborhood of Greenwood, coinIng this way. - Let ns Build Pasture Fences. ^ A pasture is of the first importance. If the ' ti WHste lands of this county were fenced, wel could raise enough mules, horses, cows and . bogs to supply the home demand. There arej I thousands of dollars worth of grass going to j J waste. The hard times admonish lis to save I u everything. If we have plenty of stock, wc I will need to spend no money in that direc- w lion, and we will need to spend nothing for U fertilizers and guanos. Tlie stable, cow i U " hou?e, and barn yard is the place to get our fertilizers. On many farms the crass this U| year was as valuable as the corn crop usually | x Is, hut we fear that tons and tons of hay are si foing to waste. We have uo spite at (Jeneral laeood. but wo sincerely hope that our people may not be compelled to buy his hay , next Spring. V ? What Our Xew Railroad* Do. The new railroad from Augusta to Green- f( wood,enables the people at MeCormick. Troy, g Bradley. Verdery and Greenwood read the JVeios and Courier and the Augusta Chronicle, before the commencement of business or dnrlug the early business hours of the same day 11 on which these papers are printed. By the a old route these papers do not reach the upcountry until the close of business. The new v route vlr'ually elves them market reports b< ose day ahead of other towns. It is worth lz something for a remote count ry town to get full market reports before entering upon the j business of the da}'. IJ M Dividing nn Old Estate. The land belonging to the estate of Peter i n Jlenry has been divided among the heirs. c< Mr. Robert. Stuek.v exhibited in our office last | ui Thursday nicely executed pliitsof theuiflerent tract*. This land has been in the family fori sixty or eighty years. It is ihe place upon J, which William Hill sold goods when lie tirst j J:' came to this country some sixty-five years i 1 ago. Mr. Stocky, although he is now >i> years old, surveys, makes plats, and writes tille ti deeds in a hand as steadv a? when he was n: young. He wa? married in 1831. He and liisjcl yood wife have lien living together for fifty-j five years. September 30th being the llfty-tlft.li | (, anniversary. (r< KI^ Snake. 1 Mr. G. A. fihillito has a larse rattlesnake in nj a show ease, which is In charge of Mr. T. M. j I< fhristian. This snake is about six feet long, and large In proportion to its length. It now j ? has eight rattles on its tall. When it was first I ^ captured it.had twelve?four having been bro- * ken off. It was caught on Mr. Win. Wilson's i farm about two months ago, sincewhich time | it has eaten nothing but a half-crown rabbit, jes It. was caught In a barrel which had been j placed before it ami turned up at the proper in time. It has sustainid no injury, except tlie r< I >ss of a portion of its rattles. It was first exhibited on our public square last Sunday c morning. ,, The Xails on the Savannah Valley Itnilroad. J We learn that the mails will be carried on the Savannah Valley Railroad after the 15th b Instant. It is said that for tlie present no h mall agent will run on the line. The mails will be in ide np at Anderson ami McCormick y for the different stations along the line. anJ the mall matter for each station put in a separate bat; which the rail road au'horities will throw otr at the proper places and receive like hags, at the pame time. Tlie bags thus P gathered up along the line will l>o opened at the cud of the mad. when a proper distrlhn-|s< tion will be made. If this is not clear to the ti reader, let him enquire of the postmaster or railroad agent for further particulars. ri Communion Set. The Women's Missionary Society of thecol- ti ored Presbyterian churcli at this place has re- j j) cently bought a superb silver communion Pet, i ami presented It to the church. The set oonsis'e of a llagon, a baptismal bowl, two plates,! ?iud two chalices The cost was $ot5.00, and is , " the result of their united efforts. The ft j represents the fidelity and devotion of these j it people to the cause which is dear to every lb Christian heart. Theirseli-denial, their labor, aud their liberality under so many difficultly ties, is worthy of note, and we trust that.
