PATRIOTIC FAMILY, Tlic I>oiiii>iI?Ih--Their N'olilc Kecori mill tlieir Faithful Service to th Conntry. Abbeville County can Justly lay claim t many scores of patriotic sons?uiany whof allegiance and loyalty to their country's cam bas been sealed with their life's blood. In thl? respect she stands second touootht county in the State. Well might the noble mothers of this gran old county look with pride upon their bra\ and chivalrous sous, and exclaim in the lar guage of the Spartan mothers: "These ui our jewels." They have the happy satisfaction of knov ing that not only are their persons, the! honor and reputations zealously guarded an protected ; but as well the honor and glory < their country's flag by such true and loyi sons, and these can never with impunity t assailed while a true son of Abbeville remain to defend the cause. t. Let any laudable enterprise or movemec be set on foot looking to the advancement c the material Interest of the State, or promt tlon of her honor or renown, and you will a novo finri snns of Abbeville in the l'roc ranks. Among the long list of statesmen, jurisU soldiers and patriots of which South Carolin may well be proud, the sons of Abbevill * County occupy most conspicuous places. But while we bow with due and unfeigne respect to the many worthy and gallant son of this?our dear old county?at the sam time with no desire or intention to make Ir vldious or discriminating distinctions, w are prompted to make mention of one famil In particular whose members have contribui ed no little to the good name and repntatio of the upper portion of Abbeville Countj This we are inclined to do because of the fac that by long and intimate acquaintance wit many of those connected therewith we knoi whereof we speak, and feei that what w shall have to say is nothing more than ths to which they are justly due. It Is of the Donnald lamily of which w propose to speaK?a family to which mlgh be aptly applied the distinguishing appelli tlon : "A Patriotic Family.'' When the annals of Abbeville County ar written, let it go down in history tbatMajo u" "o|"? in thin countr Jonn DOUUHIU, nuv from the north of Island about the beginnln of the present century, and settled in the vl clnity of Donnaldsville, in this county, frou whom the town of Donnalds takes its nainf contributed his full quota of defenders of hi country's cause, in that four of his sons am more than double that number of his grant sons wt nt promptly to the front either as so diers in the Mexican War or in the late wa between the States. In 1846 when the United States became in volved in wp.r with Mexico, two of his sonf Robert and David Lewis Donnald, and th only grandson which he had at that tlmec sufficient age. John Donuald Hill, son of th late William Hill, and brother of our presen honored Judge of Probate, were among th first to respond to the call for volunteers t defend their country's flag. The three went out as privates in Captaii Marshall's company from this county, youn buoyant and full of ongnt prospects, uu alas! one of their number was destined neve more to set foot upon his native soil. Johl Donnald Hill, being but a mere stripling, th hardships and privations of camp lire, th long ana tedious marches, together with th debilitating effects of a tropical climate proi ed too much tor his tender years and the spii It of this gallant youth passed out of its tent mentof clay in the town of Jalappa, Mexic( on the day of 1847, where lie was buried in soldier's grave by comrades In arms, an his dust now mingles with that of a torelg land. Robert and David Lewie Donnald both sui vlved the war, and after the closeof hostilltle returned to their father's home in this countj David Lewis, while in service, was promo ed from the rank to the position of Lieuter autol his company, and was awarded a gol medal by the State of South Carolina fc meritorious conduct. Robert's health was sb wrecked by hare' nhiDK and exposure during that campaig that he lived only a few years alter ms re tarn home. So much then for the part take by members of the Donnald family in th war with Mexico. The next call to duty in defense of thei country's rights was that necessitated by th late Civil war. Among the first to offer their services t their country in that memorable struggle wa this same David Lewis Donnald, who bad b, this time reached the age of- about fort, years, and was in the enjoyment of a pleasaii home surrounded by a devoted and lovin wife, and a number of interesting children. He went out as first lieutenant of Co. B, 2< S. C. Rifles. Iu a short time he was promote to captaincy of bis company, aud from tba to Lieutenant Colonel of regiment, which pc sition be held at the time of the surrendel although for a great deal of the time he wa In command of the regiment. He was thre times severely wounded?once in the battl around Richmond, again at the Wlldernes and also at Deep Bottom below Richmond From these wounds he never fully recovered bat suffered more or less during the balanc of his life, which terminated suddenly in 187 in the town oi wiiuamston, Auuernuu tuuu ty. South Carolina. Two other sons of Malor John Donnali served In the late war?William and Johi Donnald, Jr.,?the latter died in Virfjini from the effect of a wound received li battle. Of the grandsons Df Major Donnald who at ewered to the call of duty in their country' peril, we would mention Judge R. E. Hill, J L. Hill, lion. William E. Barmore, Georgf Hugh and James Brownlee(the last three sa< rlflcing their lives upon their country's altar John Lewis Donnald, a noble and gallac youth, the idol of ins father's heart, a genera favorite also with his relatives and acqualni ances.was cruelly and wantonly slain in cam near Richmond by the hands of an unknow murderer, in a momeut when he least e: pected that harm was intended to him. John Rosar Donnald. the oldest son of Job Donnald, Jr., who died from the effect of wound received in battle was also in sei vice In the civil war. There may have bee others whose names we can't now recall. A more generous hearted, hospitable an patriotic citizen than Major John Donnah and one whose upright, pure and honorabl loft o mnre luuMnir influence on th community In which he lived would be bar to find. He was not only an honorable gentlemai but an exemplary Christian, whose luminou light radiated his walk in all his transaction with his fellow-man. The writer of this r calls with pleasure the many happy houi spent beneath his hospitable roof at socii and 'estal gatherings in the good old daj of the past. In conclusion, allow meto say that no ma has given to this country more worthy di scendants tiian Major John Dounald, an while bis offsprings in the way of childrengrand and great grand children?at this tlir number perhnps hundreds, we have yet i hear of one or them bringing reproach upo their honored name. A Lady Friend. BY THE EDITOR. The Press and Banner publishes the abo\ article with pleasure. W e hope to have othf articles on this and other families in tbe coui ty. In order that any friend may supply tli omissions In the above 6ketcb, we will hoi the above In type for a reasonable time, ? that all additions may be made, and whe the record is more complete we may repn duce the whole in one issue. For Instance: Thts story notes chiefly tb military record of theDonnald family, whicl while being all that could be desired in thi line, falls to mention the Important pa thin furriilv hns anl.ed in the less excl ing but none Ibe less trying scenes of dull life. John Donnald, the bead of tbe Donnal family came from Ireland without mone; but by Industry, frugality and excellent judi ment, be accumulated a large fortune! H was a good citizen In every way, and leut h Influence for the moral and spiritual welfai of bis neighbors. "A Lady Friend" makes no mention < Samuel Donnald, who was a son ot MhJc John Donnald. Samuel Donnald was t< many years a merchant at the cross road He owned tbe land upon which the town < Donnaldsvllle is now situated. The railroa ran through his land, and the town w: named by tbe railroad iu honor of Samu DonnEdd?and not for his father, Major Job *tt&nald. Major John DonDald owned the Donna! Mill on Turkey Creek, and we believe lhat 1 built It about seventy years ago. Tbe mi was only a small part of his estate. He ba large tracts of land, and when be died mau negroes were on his land. Except in an incidental way, no mention made of William Hill. lie, like Major Doi nald, left bis native land, Ireland, to seek better home and greater liberty in Amerlci He married a sister of John Donnald, am during a long life be was a most useful clt zen. For seventeen years he tilled the otlk of Ordinary?the same as Probate Judg wblob Is now held by his son, K. E. Illli?an be was only removed by the Republicans 1 1868 or 18t>9, when all men of pronounced Den ocratic principles were ousted. He was friend to those who needed help, and the gei eratlon which existed forty years ago nev< bad a more faithful public servant. His soi R. E. Hill, who now Alls the office of Probal Judge, is held in high esteem by the peopl Efficient, obliging and courteous to all, 1: possesses many of tbe noble traits of his fatl er, wblcb endeared him to this people in h day and generation. R. E. Cox, Trial Jusllce at Abbeville, is grandson of William Hill. He is a man < line ability and excellent judgment. Beic studious in the law and quick in the disceri ment of the merits of cases that ire brougl before him, he is one ol the very btsi magi tratesln the Stat% of South Carolina, and I could sit oc the Circuit Bench with credit t - tbe State. Like all|ihe Donnalds ano all tl; Hills ot this stock, his integrity is of tl: highest. A William E. Barmore, a descendeniVof tl; Donnald stock, was held in high esteem b everybody. When stricken by the tliseai which finally carried him off, he was a men ber of the Legislature Irom this county. It seems to uh that the Donnalds, the Hill I the Barmoresand the Dunns hail much to do in establishing Greenville church. I From Major Doumild down to bis most dis-j tant relative, their influence has been lorj .1 ! trood, and no family can show a belter rpcord j > lor a hundred years. < e For a century .John Dounald and hiRde-jl scendents have been factors In all thatgoes to : i make the history of a country. 1 In civil life they have acted well; in thei o church they have exeicised a great influence, j; ie and their bravery In hat tle.has shed lustre on >e the arms of their couutry. Let "Lady Friend," or some one else make i ;r the record complete. Let the history of other families be written, j d ;? [ ICE! IC. ?e 18 5 J. E.

Before his comj the nations hod been prepared foi although they knew it not, and ice his ascension their preparation b continued in a different manner foi other and a different coming, which 11 reveal the superior closeness and wer and beauty of his relation tc in. He is coming in the spread of lightenment, of the knowledge oi ;hteousness, of loyalty to Ood, anc1 consecrated service for one's feilow;n.

But whatever its form, its ?aning is the same. We are to pray for it. We are t( jor for it. But are we not also t< surne that it has indeed begui eady ? If Christ had not come t< e world and claimed it irresistibly ai "nun onrt set. himself to redeem i r himself, it would not be the worlc lich, in spite of all its faults, it is.mgregationalist.

He is not less coucernec his Church than he was for him f in the far of! days of Peter, James d John. He is as much grieved over lure to watch as he was over that oi i beloved disciples; and as he spokt them in gentle chiding, so he often eaks to us when he is troubled at our difference: "What, could ye nol itch with rue one hour?" it is e lall service to ask of us; it is a little ne to give in self-sacri:ficing and lov< him who agonized for us and re emed us, ami who watches for u: rough all our days.
