C., who was visiting relatives In Beach, was here for a while Monday. Rev. H. C. Fennel ended a several days meeting at Varennes Weduesday. A few days ago Mrs. J. T. Latimer was attacked by a vicious cow, which but for the timely coming of help, would doubtless have been seriously hurt. As It was she was only badly scared. Mr. E. R. Horton bought the unimproved Jot of Mr. C. Loler near the burnt store of Messrs. Harper & Latimer In new town, and la mnolno the main narf r\f fha otnra hnllt he Mr. Jno. M. M one Icy. As noon as It can be placed and fixed up, Mr. Horton Will move bis business to tbai end of town. Rev. T. A. Re Id, of Charleston, as the pastor Rev. J. A. Brown could not be here on account of family affliction, conducted the services In the Baptist church, which began oo Sunday at 11 a. in., till Monday night, when the Rev. J. F. Singleton, of PeDdleton, who came In that evening and took charge. This was his first appearance before sad auiong our people In his ministerial capacity, and be made a fine Impression. He gave to bis fairly good congregations at each hour's service, an Interesting and well prepared sermon. The meeting closed Friday night. A communion service, and afterward a protracted meeting began In the Presbyterian church Saturday at 11 a. m. Dr. J. O. Lindsay, of Due West assisting the pastor. Rev. H. C. Fennel. The duration of the meeting will be determined later One of the few small areas in our township In which the crops were good, was visited late Monday evening by a terrible wind, rain and ball storm. The lower or Southern part of The Fork, about, six miles from here Id which Uvea, Mr. W. F. Cllnkscales and his three hook, Mr. R. B. HuichUon and son, Hon I. H. McCalla, Mr. Jas. Manning and others, had their todder crop destroyed and their cot ton very bttdiy damaged. Sume of them will ot save a blade of fodder, and where ttie cotton promised 800 or 1.000 pounds of need cotton per acre, report says that they Wl.l be glad to get a bale of cotton to 15 or 20 acres. Some fields were white with open cotton, -ihe rain and bail (>ent It out and it Is not worth picking up. Fiom reports It was bad, very bad la its effects. Mr. Will Hill and >1Ish Matnie Cox, of Abbeville. c?me tip Saturday and were the guests of Mr. C. L. Cliokscales. We had one of tbe most ground wetting rains yesterday that we haye had in our town, and immediately around li that we have bad since March. Oue peculiar thing about tbe few rains that we have had since then, have to my recollection all been In the day time, not one at night. DEATH OF PROF. J. F. C. DUPRE. Our people without exception, were very much shocked and were very sorry to hear Friday morning of the sudden death of Prof. J. F.C. DuPre of Clemsou College. He was born about 69 years ago near what was then known as Pendleton C. H. When but a boy bis father bought and moved to lauds near this place. On the farm, his boyhood and early young manhood days were passed. His educational advantages did not go beyond those 01 tun oiu lime, oia neia ncuuui. ejvcu these circumstances did not allow blm to utilize beyond a very limited extent, a few months being all of the time given to gathering the benefits of the school room, but his mind waB of such a high order, that study, business relations, reading and intercourse with bis fellow-man, contributed to the storing of it wltb that knowledge, that adaptability to suiroundlngs that always showed blm to be "the right man In tbe right place," wherever found. He was certainly a remarkable man in many particulars. He came to ttaii place when a young man GO L. nd yon w: )od bargai )ods in or< o lense a WHICH IS COMIN ENTIRE STRANG COME AND DO Bl .. 1 and engaged In business with Mr. D. F. Freeland, where be developed a fine business capacity,and above all, an bonesty and integrity wblcb gained for him the confidence i and friendship ot a very large circle of customers which contlDued through life. In 1858 he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Power Huckabee, who was the eldest daughter of Rev. Q. w. Huckabee. By her be bad six children, five of whom together w|th his wife survive bim. tie bougbt out Mr. Freeland in 1850, and continued In business in this place till be f gave It up on account of the war. After the war he went to Abbeville and ngaln engaged c in business till urged by his friends, be msde a application tor the appointment of County ] Treasurer. He was successful. After serving , two or three years, entered the race for Sheriff, was elected and served four years, tben was t elected County Commissioner. He filled t these offices with which the people of tbe c county honored bim to the satisfaction of all. 8 Then he was elected Professor of Horticul- t ture In Clemson College, which very Import- f ant position be showed a remarkable fitness r for,and which be doubtless could have held ? for years to come. Thus we find him at the i close of a useful, public life, having shown a ^ peculiar fitness for all oi the positions In a which he was placed. As bis range of ac- r quaintance increased so too, in like proportion, bis clrde of friends enlarged. He was c well Known over tne greater pari or tne state, ^ and wherever known, was regarded a? a B superior man. lie was tbe kindest of friends, tbe tenderest ; of husbands, the most lovlDg of fathers. fi Money bad no value In his noble nature In e all of tbe relations of life. Amid bis other i praiseworthy qualities, none outshone bis r liberality to tbe church of his choice, the e Methodist of which be bad been a life-long e and true member. He ever bad a beautiful, c well appointed home, whose doors were ever c open to all visitors, and it was lu bis home t around bis healtbstone, where bis nobility, r bis great excellence were most conspicuous t and it is among bis nearest and dearest, [ where he will be moNt missed, where tbe t blow will fall tbe heaviest. Let us, his dear ones left behind, submit to the parting as t resignedly as possible and hope for a reunion , where parting will be no more.

"For the past two years nearly every se< Ion of tbe United States baa been enjoyln be most remarkable prosperity.

"The reason for this is not far to seek. Th otton crop is the one crop of American pre luotlon of which probably 75 per cent, is con umed abroad. The great bulk of It Is mark ted within three months, and must be soli or cash. To a certain extent, therefore, th ellers are at the financial mercy of the buy ts, and this advantage Is one that Is natural y used to the utmost. If, when the crop com oenoes to move, the Impression can be creal d that the supply is likely to exceed th lemand cotton must decline.

Although a blind man. Dr. Milbnrn hai managed during his 50 years In Washington to see a good many things below the surfact of political life whlob are not recorded In tb< histories. He baa his own opinions, and ex presses tbem, concerning several great evenu of the nation's life. Part of one of his talks was a semi-humor ous account of the influence of tbe famoui Mrs. Eaton, whom the women o( Gen. Jack son's cabinet ostraoized. "Her revenge on Mrs. Calhoun," said Dr. Clyburn, "was the defeat of John G. Calhoun for the presidency, He was not elected because of Madge Eaton, Mrs. Eaton's mother kept tbe boarding bouse where Calhoun took bis meals, Mrs. Eaton was a very beautiful woman, wbo bad been tbe wile of another mac and married Oen. Eaton after there bad been a great deal of unpleasant talk about hor fl?n. TTnt.on niu a mnmber of .Tack. son's cabinet Jackson's own wife bad been assailed so maliciously that when every one was disposed to treat Mrs. Eaton coldly tbe president sympathized with ber. And Mrs. Eaton also bad tbe gift of gab, an(j was very amiable. Jackson espoused ber cause, and ordered tbe wives of tbe cabinet officers to treat ber as one of themselves. But tbe wojnen bad Wilis of tbelr own, and, although Mrs. Eaton was a lovely woman, she was out by this one-and that one. Mrs. Calboun would have nothing to do with her, and Calboun followed bis wife's example. "Madge Eaton all this time was keeping a little accouD t of tbe way she was received by Ibe women, and the name of every one who snubbed ber was put on ber black list. And Calhoun was there In large letters. Finally Jackson said 'To the victor belong tbe spoils.' rbls phrase ought not to have the ugly meaning tbat Is sometimes given to it. Jaokson meant to vindicate bis wife. He dismissed (cores of office holders because they had ipoken against bis wife. Tbat was tbe way ihat tbe spoils belonged to tbe victor. Mrs. Baton was invited to the president's house, <nd mingled familiarly with tbe family. But Mrs. Calboun left Washington rather tban ecognize her. Tbe outcome of all It was bat Calhoun's political hopes were blasted, tnd Van Buren, who was a widower, and iod treated Mrs. Eaton with studied Dollte less, came Into power in Calhoun's place. Tbe blind chaplain was favorably disposed .oward the much talked about wife of Gen. Tackson. "She was," said Dr. Mllbnrn, "one >f the loveliest women God ever created." Mrs. Eaton's life rtas traced by Dr. Mllburn jeyond Jackson'? administration, and be ;ave an amusing account of ber little speech it the reception given by Mrs. Polk when Jolk was president. This was during Dr. Hilburn's first term as chaplain of congress, md be himself heard tbe cutting remarks of tlrs. Eaton. "She bad been in Spain with ler husband for eight years," said Dr. Milium, "and on coming back to Washington ihe decided to call on Mrs. Polk and see bow ibe would be treated. It was a public receplon day. As soon as she came in sight of tfrs. Polk, Mrs. Eaton saw that Mrs. Polk vas not going to recognize ber. But she paid 10 attention, as she knew a great many of he representatives of foreign countries, and ibe stood smiling and bowing to all. She ilatloned herself near Mrs. Polk, and smiled nost graciously, and whenever any one laluted Mrs. Polk that person reoelved a [reetlng In return from Mrs. Eaton. "Presently Mrs. Eaton began to talk to iverybody In general. What a wonderful iountry tbe United States was, she said, and low the poor, common people had an opporunity to receive all the different representaIvp neonia of the various foreign countries. ust as she and Mrs. Polk were receiving hem that cay. And she and Mrs. Polk she aid came from the very poorest, walks of lite, tfrs. Polk there, she said, who was receiving o beautifully, was only the daughter of a avern keeper, who used to entertain the IroverH on their way from Nashville to iuntHVllle, Ala. And she herself, Mrs. 2aton, was the daughter of a poor Irish loardlng bouse keeper. After thin brilliant It.tle speech, the accomplished Mrs. Eaton ripped down the steps of the white house, ?ever to return. DENTAL NOTICE. S. F. Killingsworth, No. 4 Seal Blook, Abbeville, S. C. VM.
