C.,.IuneR, 181)1. p|j We are taking in the commencement exer- J,|< cises all around, but you must not, from this ??| faci, think we are candldatlng. It Is beneflcial as well as pleasant to getout from home so and the monotony of domestic life, during ta leisure seasonf, and enjoy the sociality and hospitality of others, we think if all peo- dr pie would do more of this they would be bj more social and cheerful and there would be less selfishness and despondency. Cheer- iy fulness and contentment are necessary qual- er, (ties in social and business life and can be, jQ and ought to be. cultivated in every way pos- pr slble. hii But before we go too far and foreet our- j.j selves we want to mention that we are in- 1 dehted to our neighbors for kindness and fa- Mi vors In the enjoyment of these pleasures, ?iti and take this opportunity of expressing our yo appreciation of the same. bo Last week came the commencement of the cD Honea Path High School. Prof. J. B. Wat- Wf kias has been the principal of this school ho for ten years, and during this time no |ai school under our knowledge has enjoyed a/ rai more successful career. For this renalt there in ure two causes which will secure success to tei any school. 1st, the people have one ol the W( best teachers In the state, and, 2nd, the Uacn- G'c erhas a live, energetic, and interested peo- n0 pie to back blm. ba We failed to get there on Wednesday night cqj to enjoy the cantata by the primary depart- te ment but were told that it was the best part je, rif the exercises. Bat we were on hand ?b, rhursduy to witness the exercises of the ra| Pierian Literary Society. Speeches were th< made by Messrs. Mltcbel Long, J. M. Culbertson.and L. Y. Moore, all of which were tr, both instructive and entertaining and showed ^ that the young men had given thorough (j0 study to their respective subjects. In the er afternoon addresses were made by Mr. Win., ho H. Westand Henry Stokes, former members (,r? jf the society. The music at intervals was gr< very good. m< Thursday night the Paladlan Society en- m( Lertained a large audience with a very pleasint and Interesting program, consisting of toi reading, recitations, music, Ac. f ny On Friday the school and Literary Socie- iQ{ Lies were addressed by Rev. D. W. Hlott of j Anderson county, and Mr. Julius Bog?s of q0 Pickens, both of whom made excellent ba jpeeches. In the afternoon a re-anion of he] former and present students of the school $1, was held and speeches were made by L. C. j Branyon and others. All the exercises were >j20 veil attended and all engaged In them de- ab terve much praise Tor the creditable manner we in which they were periormed, and for the rec ;ompleie arrangemeut of the entire pro- j {ram. coi On last TueRday night began the closing ex- w, jrclses of the Walnut Grove school, taught oy Professor Reed of Cokesbury. Professor Reed has been engaged in his profession nj. twenty-seven years and enjoys the pleasure j jf a successful career In the work of training Ch the young. We congratulate the pattonnof rj Walnut Grove on having secured the ser- En flees of so thorough and experienced teach- th< sr. Their appreciation of Ills labor was (hi jlearly and appropriately manifested by the Bp| re-election for another term on the last day t>a )f school. 1 We failed to be present at the exhibition de: ruesday night but have received reports 8aj From all sides to the effect that It was good throughout, well attended, and bestowed ^o :redit upon both teacber and pupllB. We ire sorry we did not secure a program for publication. On Wednesday, Oth instant, we were preBant with a large crowd In attendance to enloy the exercises and pleasures of the day. About eleven o'clock the people assembled in the church and Doctor Carwile of Little River, the only invited speaker present, was in- \ Produced by Professor Reed. The subject upsn which the Doctor's earnest and impres- U ilve address was based was the life and character of Daniel. Among many excellent f things be made a strong appeal for the prop- * ar and thorough training of children in our homes as well as in tbe school room, and em- J9J phaslzed the fact the tlmas and thecondllions of our people demand bonest lndepen- J*" lent thinkers wbo will dare to do right for ou, ibe sake of right. t : At tbe close of Doctor Carwlle's speech, the r" ludience were (dismissed and repaired to the grove where all partook of that delicious and ?l| aountllui dinner for which the good ladles ol Walnut Grove are noted. fr, Rev.

I THE STEEAM OF LIFE. ; Sr, JA Ynnnir T.nilv Rnllrlu n Rout A lid \ Sets It Afloat. Life Is a stream, and eacb bouI tbal is born ed is a frail vessel tossed by the waves wbile bu striving to galu tbe barbor ol rest. su How many weak sbips when launched nev- ( ?r reach their port? And so with the soul, of Where Is the beginning of this stream of life? cb [ answer?at the cradle. How often do we j stand and gaze upon tbe babe In all Its Inno- jn :ence and purity, and ask ourselves?what j will be the character of this stream of life? Will it be one noted for Its rough, muoh } dreaded flow, or will it be one whose gentle, <] peaceful flow will attract the attention of all bn iround ? da After many years we return to this home. wt What a change! As we again gaze upon the cle face, how sad a sight! Fiom the deep furrows be which the plow of vice has wrought on his } cheeks. we are led to believe that tbe stream for bas had many ripples. Who knows bow fervently a mothers heart may be yearning for this moral and physical wreck, and feeling that it would have been well for him had he not been born. Perhaps this man of guilt was left without the influence of a gentle loving mother to help him In crowing the rugg< d places of life hoil unnaHnmn In tho tuflVAfinf OflVPrRil V. ?UU unu wvn u m ?uv ?? vw ?. w- ? Not only Id our homes where we meet daily with loved ones and lriends, do we exert au Influence which determines the destiny of Ei. many, but, also, In tbe schoolroom. Little , do we realize the responsibility resting ou tbe ul teachers of to-day, who have in their hands, Ih! to a certain extent, the forming of thecharac- UD ters of our future men and women, It Is not |n( uncommon to hear the little ones remark to ( their play fellows at school, "My teacher said ne that, and I know it can not be wrong." Ah ! 8tll there are streams of life controlled not only sa| by parent's influence, but also by the teach- be er's. Therefore may our teachers strive to ex- > ertover those placed in their charge, an lnflu- ,lr ence as gentle as the falling of the snowflake ua on the meadow. How few of us ever stop to consider the importance of speaking gently to those with whom we associate. Many lives are blighted by criticisms, where a klml word, by way or . encouragement, would have made a living J monument of usefulness. , In a life time storms must be met?tbe best meet them. Tbe storm most dreaded is the P." storm of death. Even the bravest and strongest will sometimes shrink when called to lr5 meet it. How many, oh, how tnany, are to- J day trusting the weakest vessels that are sailIng on the stream of life, while Christian V.1' loved ones and friends are pleading with a" them to forsake the frail barks and go aboard the good ship Zlon. Who knows how soon they may strike the breakers and sink In mid-ocean. P? May the youug people of to-day, amidst all the temptations which surround them, throw the sounding line of faith far out ahead of their vessels so as to keep ofl the sandbars of J sin. Bear in mind we are in danger unless n? Christ will take the helm and guide us. He 91 alone knows the rough places and can Bee the ,re dismal, dark and portentous clouds which P? overhang us. I Reader, which vessel are you on ? Tbe one rel which is sailing for the port of bliss where angels are wailing to shout as you anchor,' "Welcome home, ?01 tho one which will j soon sink in the sea of'perdition where you | , will bid an everlasting larewell lo the dear ,.' ones ol earth, and will hear the awful cry,?

ProicreN* in Adverllftlnff. :n olden times, newspapers were considered luable to readers only for their news, and vertlseraents were merely Incidental surisage, Inserted by merchants as a sort of arliy to help fill up the paper and rarely aticted attention. Today the newspaper Is indispensable, not ly to the merchant, but to the shoppers of s family, as the universally accepted mejm of attracting business. Advertisements 9 no longer the regulation, musty affairs ey used to be. They are among the most tlHtlc and attractive features of the popular wspaper, and the frugal housewife scans the siness announcements as carefully as the aler.or speculator scans the produce or iney markets. Those business houses who patronize the wspapers are the ones who secure the bulk trade.

A gentleman who Is in a position to know and who says be has it dead straight told a reporter for The Greenville News this story yesterday? "i ne souin uaronna ana ouuiu couua railroads are going to stir up tbe railroad situation In this State and they are going to do It before very long. "The Perkins brothers, of New York, who have a barrel of money, have bought tbe South Carolina railroad and cut the Louisville & Nashville out of a million dollars second mortgage bonds with which it hoped to control that property. The result is the L. & L., Jointly with tbe Coast Line, will build a road of Its own to Augusta from Charleston and tbe Coast Line branch,Just completed from Sumter to Denmark, will be extended to Brrnwell to connect with the new line from Charleston to Augusta. "The South Carolina's owners, In order to hold their business, will shorten their line. , They can and will do It with a road from Sumter to Mlddletown where on tbe Columbia branch it will run to Orangeburg. From Orangeburg It will build a short line to Blackville, thus taking a short out to Augusta, where It will have straight connection with the North over tbe South Carolina, Charleston, Sumter & Northern and Seaboard Air Line. The South Carolina will buy Cumberland Oap railroad from Aiken to Edgefield and extend it to Easley and Greenville via Abbeville. "To keep the pot boiling the R. D. and G., C. N. will play for each other's territory. The latter will be the purchasers of the Port Royal & Western Carolina when It is sold and will extend It from Spartanburg to Rutberfordton, N. C. It will also extend the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens, making tbe shortest through line from Columbia to Greenville. "The Three C's will also take a band and uDon its reorganization will extend from Camden to Sumter and from Catawba Juncto Charlotte." ? m The County Alllanoe of Abbeville County, will bold its next regular meeting on July 6tb next.

June Term, 1894, To His Honor, Ernest Gary, Presiding Judge: After carefully going over the work mapped out for us as Grand Jurors, for the June Term of 1894, we make the following presentments: 1. We have passed upon all the Bills handed us by the Solicitor. 2. We have visited the several County offices, and find them all nmtlv kept. Each officer is endeavoring to do his duty. 3. We have visited the County Jail and find it well and neatly kept. We found some leaks in the roof which should be attended to. 4. We have visited the Poor House and find the property in very good condition, and the inmates well cared for. We recommend that the Steward should have a book that he may keep a record of the inmates that come and go, and die. We request that the County Commissioners have a well dug. We found that some indecent conduct has been going on and recommend that the Steward have the power to stop it. ? 5. We have examined and approved the Transcripts and Books of the various Trial Justices of the different Townships. Some have failed to send in their reports. The Trial Justice of the 15th Township has asked to be excused on account of sickness. As the last Grand Jury requested that they all appear here with their books at this term of Court, we have granted his request. We suggest, however, that they bring or send their Transcripts certified to at the next term of Court. This will be all that is necessary. 6. The County Commissioners seem } to be lookiDg after the welfare of the. County, and deserve credit for what they have already lone. We would recommend that the County Commissioners pay each member of the several township Boards of Equalization one dollar and fifty cents as compensation for their services, as considerable time was required in the re-assessment of real estate. We recommend that they look after the public roads, especially near Martin's mill. 7. We would call attention to a request to enforce the law in reference to tbe closing of Dram Shops in Abbeville. We have looked into the matter and find several places where they sell intoxicating drinks, kept by the following named nersons: R. E. Mc Whorter, J. C. Cox, T. L. Douglass. Witnesses: Town Council of Abbeville. 8. We have appointed a committee of our number to look into the Books of the several County officers and report at the next term of Court.
