The Press and Banner Wednesday, July 13, 1887. JlMlse Witi'illaw. Our friend and late co-worker In the print-1 Ins business, t/olonel H.T W'aivllaw, has recently received the appointment of t'riai Justice at Ahueviilc in place of Colonel O. T. (,'alhouti, deceased. Tiie Colonel has a tine mind, with remarkable percept ion, and a litlleexperieuce Willi and application to the inlricacies of tin- law will make him one of the best Trial J list I cos in tills section of the conn try. We believe there wen; several applicants for j the appointment, any one of whom would 1 I'1-1 V iiKiimlant satis faction. As far as we arc informed then* was no reeling in the mailer by either the applicants or the community. The community certainly had nothing to lose in any event. Either applicant would iiavu served the pc<>-| pie with fidelity, and with acceptability to the public. The contest for the appointment, was between gentlemen. Colonel Wardlaw happened to lie the winner, and since then has received the kindest expressions from his late competitors. ? For tl?c? 1'iiltlic Welfare. Messrs. J. S. Hammond & Co. have opened a new harness and shoe shop in the store room recently occupied by Major I'eggs, where the business will lie carried on in all Its branches.

John Baird, colored, who had been working during the week days on Mr. Russell's farm, and drinking Impure water out of a , .springor seep-hole which did not overflow, came home about two weeks ago, sick of typliiod fever. He died last Sunday evening another victim to impure water. Let those of our citizens who are drinking water out of wells which drain filthy surroundings, draw ofl'the gallons of poison which now makes their wells little better than cesspools. No matter h.?w clear and sparkling your water, it may contain thcgerins of typhoid fever? the seeds of suffering and death. There is no use hiding the fact. Typhoid fever is nothing else than a tilth disease, and wherever it exists there is poison. Mr. Frank Cunningham, notifies the public where good whiskies can be found.

Mr. Cunningham's whiskey is good for the sick, while those who seek to invest In something that makes some of us forget that we are poor, and makes others feci that they are rich, can depend on the energy and active force of his whiskey to bring about that exaltation, which brings us victorious "overall 1 the ills of life.''

Jamrs .S. Perrix, Ksq., went to Troy on the train yesterday. He had been invited to deliver an address before the high school taught by Mr. McKellar. at Its closing exercises last night.

Due West Commencement Is well up on literary matters. One of the orators borrowed'a dozen lines, without giving eredit ferit. and the boys who had Just read it iu French, recognized the translation, at once.

She is an excellent teacher, who in the short space of thsec months has so thoroughly advanced little girls from 8 to 13 years, so as to enable them to perform correctly and with grace and ease of manner before the public.

Bradley of Abbeville, the orator of the day, was introduced by Mr. Bougie Boyd when he arose ainid shouts of applause.

A. L. Patterson?"When ins work is ended here below : Peace to his ashes and immortality to his soul." Friday Evening Programme. Before twilight the academy was densely packed?not even standing room. The rostrum was so crowded that it partially gave way. The exercises of the evening began with music by Messrs. 1?. Ij. and Willie Jones. assisted by Mr. Cowan-on the vlolinello. The music was very tine indeed and only|sucli as could be produced by those skilled In" this science. There was no dlano music, as there was actually not. sufficient room to open it.

Many others deserve personal mention, but we have lorgott n their subjects. The addresses delivered by the young men were good. We failed to get their subjects and will pass them over by compliment to all. Next came charades?"The Dead Shot," and "My Wife's Relations"?both of which were played well, much to the enjoyment of the audience. Di a few complimentary remarks the Princlpal of the School, Rev. A. L. Patterson tendered his thanks to the audicncc lor their respectful attention and hearing, and thus ended the exereisas of our school?one of Mt. "Carmel's eala days long to be remembered.
