Oar Thirty-Second Anniversary. ,
On April 1st, 1859, the present editor of the \
Press and Banner became thejunlor partner t
of the Arm of Lee & Wilson in the pnbllca- |
tion of the Abbeville Press. I
? In 1861 the] senior member of the firm enK.
listed In the Confederate service. i
In 18C2the junior member of the firm en- i
r listed in the 19th Regiment of South Carolina c
Volunteers, and the publication of the paper a
was suspended.
In 1863 arrangements were made with Wm. (
H. Wilson to resume the publication of the x
paper. It was again suspended.ln 18M. f
In the summer of 18& the publication of f
ho nntwr was resumed bv the owners, Lee & i
&?- Wilson, as before the war. I
In 1866 the publication of the Abbeville i
Banner?which suspended publication in l8(jl <
resumed. 1
In 1869 the owners of the Abbeville Press
bought the Abbeville Banner,and consolidated t
the papers under the consolidated name of the r
i Press and Banner, and fortwoor three years no s
other paper was printed at Abbeville, until a
the Abbeville Medium was started. <
In 1875 Mr. Lee sold his Interest in the pa- r
per to the present owner.
In 1877 a half interest was sold to Mr. 1
Benet. s

and since that time the present editor hat. ^
had sole contro1 of the paper.
The change in our subscription has been ,
great Indeed. Comparatively few of the pres- (
entsubscribers to the Pres? and Banner were t
[ subscribers In 1859. The men who composed 9
fc' the list of subscribers that year, like the ed- \
ltore of that day, have passed over the River, 8
i or have had reason to supplant the paper of t
earlier days, by taking other and dlfferen t t

In 1860 many delinquents were erased from
the books, land the edition was reduced to f
about 30 qnlres. N
Since the war the edition has ranged from
27 to ?? qnlres.
In ISTStheuseof ready prints, or the "pat- ^
: ent side" plan, was adopted?it being perhaps t
the second paper in the State to adopt the
plan. To meet the.changed method, the use
| of large type was abandoned and smaller ^
type was brought into use. to reuuce tue puper
bill the clrcu latlon was greatly reduced
by cutting off "dead heads" and non-paying 5
subscribers.
In .1885 the present seven-coluinu quarto
: form was adopted In place of the former nine
v column folio. b
In 1883 the edition of the paper was 31 quires, j
That year a new paper entered the field. Vigor b
ous competition brought up the circulation
?&.. to 39 quires. r
In 1889 the Alliance pronounced a
boycott against the paper. The circuit
lation at that time was 53 quires. As a resuit
of the boycott, the circulation was re- j
uuceu 10 -*v quires.
. In December and January last about two
hundred aDd fifty names were striken from (
the roll because of non-payment of dues 01 ^
because of failure to renew. (|
To day, April 1, 18H1, we print, 55 t
quires, and will next week pnbllsh a full and b
urtftplete list, giving tlie names of each sub- (

y. congratulation, we may refer with Just pride
to the unwavering and unflinching support j
which has sustained us through evil report f
and through good report for thirty-two years g
of our pact life, and made our paper what It
& Is.
The fact that we have lived at all; that we 1
can look back upon a past life of thirty-two
years of newspaper life Is a matter of con- (
gratulation.
Most of our early newspaper contemporaries
have passed away or have renewed their tt
youth under new names or under new forms; ^
the times have changed and all else has f<
changed around us.
The perils ol war, the scourge ofreconstruc- ;i
Ition, slavery itself has passed away, and after
thirty-two years?the most event- !
ful In the history of our country? |
we enter now upon a new era of material '
prosperity. j1
With the hopes and anticipations of the c
new era we are In full sympathy, and trusl to- x
bear our full share in the work that lies be t
fore us. t
Our friends have sustained us in the past,
and'.re are sure they will do so in the fu* (
tU'J. s
Our Interests and their interests are me
same, and whatever concerns the honor und v
interest of Abbeville concerns us all. t
In this respect the Press of 1859 aud the
Press and Banner of 1S91 are one and the j
same; and we hope to contribute iu the future f
In the past, our best eflorts to advance the jj
prosperity of our common country?as we
have our share in the work, we hope to share I
In the results, and trust that the pages of the |
Press and Banner will ever reflect the spirit, f
the enterprise, and the prosperity of Abbeville
County.
We nave nothing but love for the people j
who have stood by us in the past, and who
are true to us to day. Although we may have
done those .things which we ought not to 1
have done, and although we may have left
undone those things which we should have
_ doud, yet we are conscious of having the J
r trlendsbip aud good will of a host of <
friends, to all of whom we give most grateful '
and hearty thanks for any success that may j
have come to our doors. (

We will publish next week a listof the good

Jhe list will Include the names of all persons
vho wisely subscribe for such newspapers as
Till best subserve the moral and intellectual
raining of their children, while affording
he whole household the largest amount of
>leasure for the least expenditure of money
We hazard nothing in saying, that the charicter
and standing of the persons composing
hat list will rank high above the average cltzen,
even in a County like Abbeville.
Knowingas we do that there are others whose
imbllion, and whose pride in the pleasure and
velfare of their children, eutltle them to en olll
their names on our list we cordially injIi?
ihmji in enme forward at once, and do
hat which will, for the least efl'ort, yield the
argest returns in the moral and intellectual
raining of their families.
As parents should blush to acknowledge
,hat they did not patronize the schools, so it
s a reflection on the ambition and character
>t the head of the household to refuse to
mbscrlbe for newpapers.
In saying this we are not speaking alone
or the Press and Banner, but we speak of
lewspapers generally, and the local papers in
>articular. If a citizen prefers to subscribe
or the Medium we would be glad for him to
loso. It Is only self-iuterest that makes us
>refer that he subscribe for the Press and Banler.
But let the choice be as It may, every
iitizen of Abbeville county should take at
east one of the local papers.
While quite a number have already availed
hemselves of the occasion to have their
lames entered upon the roll of which we are
io proud, we feel quite sure that there are
itill others whose names should appear with
>ur list of subscribers to the Press and Banier.
Let each subscriber see if he cannot Induce
lis borrower to become a subscriber, and then
lend the name immediately.
Hand in the names at once, as we will pubish
the list next week.

of the Watchman and Southron one
light last week. He had Just finished printng
and mailing the week's edition of bis exseilent
paper, which deserves to be liberally
mpported by the people. Mr. Osteen is a bard
vorker and a constant worker. By industry
ind push he has built up a good business, and
he business has enabled him to buy a deslra>le
house and lot for his printing office, being
iow one of the few South Carolina printers
vho owns his place of business. He also owns
m eligible lot on which is a splendid dwellDg
house.
Not satisfied with all thls.he is prospecting
or a cylinder press on which to print his paler.
Success to him. He deserves well at the
lands of the people of Sumter.
Columbia's Centennial.
With due and proper respect for the opin.
ons of our beloved Columbia correspondent,
ve are not impressed with the force of his ar[ument
or the necessity for our having an
irch at the Columbia Centennial.
If Abbeville should celebrate her centennial
? ?hnni tt>n vpArs from now. we think it
rery likely that Richland would s*nd no
:rowns nor arches to us.
We hope that the centennial celebration at
Columbia may be a success, but it is Column's,
not Abberille's, show.
We join our brethren in heart and in good
pill, and It would be a great pleasure to us if
re could participate In the festivities and
>lea*uresot the occasion, but if we go we will
;o as guests, and not as hosts.
Death ef ('apt. Tarrant.
Capt. J. K. Turrant one of the oldest and
test known citizens of Abbeville County,
lied at Greenwood last Friday night. He had
ieen in feeble health for a long time, and
fhen he arrived at the age of 8.1 years, his caeeron
earth was closed.
Goykknor Tillman has commuted the
leath sentence on a Lexington negro to lift'
mpr isonment. This goes to prove theinde
leudeuce of the Governor, as well as his wll*
ingness to henr the prayers of even tlic 1mmile.stoffender.
In connection with this we
iope that the Governor may give consideraion
to the appeal for Executive clemency in
lehalf of certain colored persons from thlB
bounty, who have heen severely dealt with by
he law.
During a recent visit to Columbia the editor
f the I'ress and Bauner had the pleasure of
Islting the ofllces of the morning dailies,
f which visits our brethren were pleased to
nake pleasant mention. May they live long
nd prosper. We intended to call also at the
Jveuiug Record, but failed to get round.
Ve ere none the less friendly to the Record
han wc are to its morning neighbor.
Bv a technicality the captors of J. B. Wlllamswill
not receive the expected reward
rom the Slate. It is not to the credit of the
Itate to engage in such picayune acts.

In Invited by tlie Commute*.
At the adjournment of the meeting of the ]
commissioners to report on u place for the Industrial
College for women, which was held |
nboutteniiaysugo.lt was announced that ;
the commission would Issue a circular letter. ,
This circular hus been prepared and will be ,
printed in all the newspapers In the Statennd |
copies be sent to the city and town autliorl- ,
ties. The following is the circular: ,
State Industrial College for Women.
Concurrent resolutions of the Senate and !
(louse of Representatives of South Carolina:
lie It resolved by the Senate, and House of J
Representatives of Soutli Carolina :
Be it resolved by Ihe Senate, the House of J
Representatives concurring, That the Gover- '
nor l>e, and Is hereby authorized and empowered
to appoint three commissioners
whose duty it shall be:
First. To investigate and report what are ,
the requirements for an Industrial School for |
Women, and what would be the probable an- f
nual cost of its maintenance. ,
Second. What inducments in the way of .
grounds, buildings, moneys or other securities
may be ofl'ered by persons or places in ,
this state to secure its location, and to make
recommendations thereon, after visiting the
same, if necessary.
Third. That said commissioners make their
report to the Governor as soon as practicable,
and that their expenses incurred in executing
the commission be paid outof the Governor's
contingent fund: Provided, the same does
not excecd three hundred dollars.
The undersigued, commissioners appointed
by the Governor under the foregoing resolutions,
beg leave to call attention to the impor- *
thonronnunfl nnd tn Invite rn. '
operation. It Is unnecessary to speak of the
need, or of the value to the .State, ol such pro- }
vision In aid of the education of women. 1
Recognizing the beueflts which such an Instl- ;
s'ution would confer upon the community in 1
which it might be erected, the Legislature "
through us appeals to the cities and town of c
the .State to submit offers for its location. The
presence of the State school of this character, ;
with n large faculty and probably several hun- 1
dred young ladles from all parts of the State,
would at once make Its site a centre of education,
intelligence and social attraction. Its *
Influence would directly elevate and assist ,
the local schools, and there would follow an '
Increase of population, with an enhance- ?
ment of values, not easily to be overestimated.
,
We Invite the attention of the municipal ;
authorities and people of our cities and towns
to these considerations. The competition? 5
which is for general as well as local benefit? ,
Is open to all. Correspondence Is freely Invited.
A member of the commission will come *
to any part of the State for conference, If :
deemed necessary.
All offers must be definitely submitted by
1st of .luly. Meanwhile similar schoolsatiroad :
will be thoroughly inspected In order to se- :
cure the advantages or the best experience. '
Afterwards all sites or properties otlered will ,
be carefully examined by tin commission,
and in its report full justice will be done all. ,
Early attention will promote the objects of
the commission. ,

Such wan the state of our weather until last
Saturday night, and the wisest weather
prophets foretold a gloomy Easter day,
The backward season had kept our gardens
n the naked, flowerle?s condition proper for
ylnter, and bad dashed th9 hopes of all who
lelight in floral decorations lor Easter.
Garlands of roses, festoons of yellow Jessanine,
the odors of honey-suckle and bright
woodbine; mounds of pansles, and byaolnths
ind verbenas, and all the various flowers of
spring, were memories of by-gone Easters.
The evergreens and green-house flowers appropriate
to Christmas decoration were all
,hat could be made use of.
When, lo, Easter Sunday dawned bright,
>eautlful and sunny. A suggestion or the
:blll north wind could not prevent our enjoyng
the unwonted sunshine, and boys and
jirls. young men and maids, old men and ma.
irons thronged to the various places of worship
when the church bells began to ring.
Few were the brlght-liued Easter bonnets*
aowever, and new Easter raiment was wisely
eft at home for another and a warmer and a
jrighter Sunday.
How the ladles accomplished It passes our
somprehenslon, but the churches which were
iecorated for Easter were decorated most
aeautlfully.

At the n. E. Church.
Last Sunday was Easter And was ushered
In by the glorious orb of day, who shed his
bright rays of light over the earth while all
nature seemed filled with beauty, and merry
songsters carolled forth their sweetest songs
of praise to Him who died and rose again.
The church was artistically and beautifully
draped in white bunting, while here and
there were arranged beautiful hot house
plants which filled the air with sweet perfume.
The chancel was neatly festooned with
white bunting, while at each corner were tall
columns of evergreens, from which peeped
out choice white flowers, and upon the summits
of which were poised white doves. All
in all, the decorations while simple, were perfectly
beautiful, and we regret our Inability to
describe them as they were, and to bestow
suitable praise upon those whose deft hands
placed them there.
As the bell tapped the minister took his
sent, while all was silence. The choir opened
the services with a beautiful anthem, while
the followlngprogramme was observed during
morning service:

Rise," by full choir.

Subject?"The Resurrection Body," showing:
that as Chrisi had raised Ills body, so would
He also raise our bodies from the dead. Some
abjections to the resurrection were considered
and answeied. Kach sermon whs full of
beautiful thought, ana delivered In nn earnest
and attractive manner, while they were
enjoyed to the fullest by the congregations.
The solo. "The Lord Is my Shepherd," was
harmlngly and sweetly rendered by Miss
Mabel Unchurch, aflor which all Joined in

mother Easter on earth. M.
At Trinity Cliurcli.
In the vestibule was a large cross on a
nound of moss aud flowers. The brilliant
)loshoras of potted plants filled the window
tills, and the wine-red buds of the maple here,
is elsewhere In thechurch, worthily filled the
dace of the laggard flowers of spring.
Over the arch of the Inner door was the legend
In golden letters:

Entering the church proper the eye was met
,vlth a scene which was us beautiful as it was
inexpected.
Garlands of evergreens, festoons of grey
tioss, clusters of Calla lilies, brilliant banks of
lowers, floral arches, floral crosses and banlers
with legends in gold and red, made the
nterlor of Trinity Church?always beautiful
-look as beautiful as we have ever seen it on
iny previous Easter Sunday.
The ladies whose deft hands did this work
rerlly had their reward. It wus a striking
riumph over all the obstacles which the late
ind Inclement soason had interposed.
The 'jhancel wus exceedingly t eautlful. On
iaoh side of the chanoel window was a got hie
irch of evergreens, from the apex of which
lung banners with the legends, in letters of
;ohl: " Lift up your Heads, O,ye Gates ?" and
' And the King of Glory shall come In!"
The font was adorned with a profusion of
he choicest flowers. The pulpit and the
eading desk were surrounded with the dark,
flossy leaves and snow-white cups of the 1
2allallly. Along the top of the chancel rating
ran a garland of green leaves aud red ma>le
buds, from which drooped a misty veil of
;rey moss. The altar table was also most
jeantllully deoorated.
Outside the chancel, Just under tbo "chllIren's
window." was a large mound oi flowers
ind moss, palms and ferns, while In front of
he chancel, at tho end of the middle aisle, i
itood a white cross adorned witli the yellow
ady bankslela.
The organ recess was most tastefully fesooned
with evergreens, moss and flowers,
ind overhead was suspended a scroll with the
egend," Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!" '
The wings of the chancel and the walls of
he church were relieved by arches artistl- i
sally constructed, while banners hung from
ueir centres wim ine wurus:
" Cbrist the Lord la risen to-day."
" I know that my Redeemer Llveth."
" In Christ shull all he made A!ive."
" He Is King of Kings, and Lord of Lords." 1
The front of the eallery was draped In moss
ind evergreens, while Ihe pillows and the '
langlng lamp* umJ lamp-brackets were all <
nade use of as vantagcsgrounds for decoraIon.
:
Nor were the mural memorial tablets for;otten.
Loving hands beautified them with
vreaths of becoming devices, j
All thanks and praise to the ladies of Trlnty
who made the church so beautiful; and to
he ladies, members of other churches, who so 1
clndly contributed flowers.
THE HEM 010 US SERVICES,
The services of the day consisted of early ]
lommunlou at seven o'clock Morning ser.
rice andccmmunion at eleven o'clock, and j
ivenlng service at Ave o'clock?the ltev. Wm. I
I. JIanckel. rector, officiating.
All the services were exceedingly lmnres- j
live. Large congregations attended both |
norning and evening services. The sermon
n the morning was on the subject of the Res- 1
jrrection. It was a very able sermon?earn- '
i?t, thoughtful and solemn. In the evening '
sir. Hanckle addressed the children on the
tubject, " Be ye Strong in the Lord."
The service of music was unusually flne and {
ull. The choir was greatly helped by Mrs. 1
,'alhoun DuPree, of Greenwood, who took the -1
1 eadlng soprano pnrt at morning service, and
by Mi88 Mabel Upcburch, of Washington,
who took the leading soprano part at evening
service. These two ladles have been endowed
with charming voices, peculiarly suited to the
rendering of sacred music, and they were at
their best as songsters on Sunday. Sweeter
music was never heard In Abbeville. Long
will the hearers remember Mrs. DuPree's tender,
thrilling tones In the hymn, "Jesus,
Lover of my Soul," and the voluntary at the
offertory," Praise the Lord, 0, my Soul."
Equally sweet and delicious were the birdlike
notes of Miss Upchurch's voice In " Consider
the Lilies of the Field," and " Abide
with Me," set to a duett from Donizetti?Mr.
Benet taking the tenor part. Clear, round
and silvery, ner notes filled the church with
melody.
Miss Cuddle Calhoun acted as organist, and
performed her difficult and laborious part
most beautifuly and successfully.
We give below the complete
