Hnspendinjf College Exercises.
We believe tbat some of our Colleges recent- i
)y suspended exercises In order to give stu- I
dents an opportunity to go home for the i
Christmas holidays. i
If the session of these Institutions were ex- i
tended for two weeks at the close of the (
school term to make up for the lost time at I
Christmas, and If It costs the parents nothing i
for their children to ooaie home In the mid- i
die or the term, there still seems objection to <
/ the holiday. After two weeks of play, t
another week would be required for students I
to get down to bard study again. c
Another matter: A plain every day oltlzen I
doesn't quite understand why the college
reoltatlons should not be heard every day in c
the week. Away back In the misty past, the (
schools in the oountry were not taught on i
Saturdays. This no doubt gave the children t
the chance to wash and iron their clothes, to
do some oooklng, and to do any other work
whloh oar pious forefathers might have
deemed necessary for a proper observance of
the Sabbath day. Bat College boys and girls
are expected to do nothing of the kind In
this day and time. Could a Jury of teacher*
give any good reason why,they should not
work six days, as other people do?
? i
Brsling People?Overworked Cooke.
8tores and other business place* were
closed Wednesday and Thursday of last
week, and for the time nearly all business
was suspended. We arenot exactly In sympathy
with the universal suspension of business.
At most, we think U well tor all men,
who have as much money as they want, to
rest and go hunting, or fishing, on the Fourth
of July, on Thanksgiving, and on Christmas
times; but men who are struggling to get
rlob can ill afford to loss the days. Again, If ,
one set of our people cease from labor, where
is the Justice or the lalrness of requiring or
expeeting hotels and boarding bouses-to do
more cooking on Christmas than any other
time of tbeyeai? To Impose additional labor
on one set of people while the other plays la
boat on a par with the aot of the preacher
who enlarges on the duty ot observing the
Sabbath day, while fllty or a hundred oooka
re at tjbe different homes racing with the
> preaober to see whether they can get a big
diDner ready before the learned divine
finishes bis diatribe againat violation of the
holy law.
Qalet Chrlalmas.
Abbeville always behaves heiself on Christmas,
and it la nothing nnnsoal or especially
notable in the fact that peace sobriety, good
order, and sweet fellowship characterize the
happy days ol the Christmas week.
Hunters of game were leas crnel than nanal
on Christmas. Ordinarily some game is bagged
,bnt not so this Christmas, if we are to
Judge others by one party of bnnters that we
aw. Tbev returned to town each having a
big gan, bat neither having; any game that 1
We saw. If you see anybody with a goo next j
week you needn't think that be la a bird
banter, a rabbit killer, or a squirrel shooter, t
He is only a bill collector and bas his gun t
along as a persuader. A man with a shot gt^n t
might collect where others fail. t

Mr. R. 8. Boozer, of ChappellS, was in town i
last wetk, and renewed acquaintance with c
this editor, formed many years ago. Mr. |
B oozer doesn't lack mnch of belngaclUsin <
of thiB county. He owns twelve acres in the <
town of Due W?t, which was once known
as the "Lindsay lot." Slnoe he bought it the ]
value of real eetate in Due West has greatly I
Increased. Last week he refused from Mr. J. i
H. McDlll a sum In cash double the amount
whioh he paid for it.
Mr. Boozer married the youngest daughter
of Dr. Joseph H. Jennings, who was assistant
surgeon of the 19th 8. C. Vols. The supply of (
medicines in the army was limited, and at (
times his prescription was red oak bark tea,
or "pulverized doverl." There was not in ,
the western army a better man tban Dr. Joe
Jennings.
?
Wbat Is the Matter?
It has been said that wonder* never ceam
This la a time of great wooden. The United
States Supreme Conrt bag refused a new
bearing for Beojamln D. Greene and Jobn F.
Goynor, wbo are under aentenoe to pay
$575,749 and to undergo lmpriaonmeat for four
years eaob on tbe charge of embezzlement In
onneotlou with the harbor Improvement* at
Savannah.
Ifauob action oftbe United States Supreme
Court sboold oome down to tbe State Courts,
it is barely possible that tome oftbe murderous
gentlemen of tbe State may be refused t
tbe neoessary new trials to secure an ac- c
qulttai, in case Juries should ever convict i
them. i
I
i
Missing a Week. ,
Quite a number of tbe country newspapers <
suspended publication for Christmaa week, i
It baa been many a week ainoe the Press and 1
Banner missed an isane for any reason. Tbe t
winter season is tbe busiest time of the year, i
and tbere Is more to print then than in tbe <
summer. If there is to be a suspension it g
seems that about tbe Fourth of July would
be tbe time. In saying that the Press and
Banner has not missed a week for, say thirty (
years, we have no Idea of holding it up as an
example. We only meant to emphasize our
oonvictlons. Christmas week being fully as
profitable as any other week, we do not suspend.
Family at Dinner.
Mr. Frank Henry of this olty bad bis
children and grandchildren with him at dinner
on Christmas day?all being present but
one grandchild. Be has nineteen grand
children, and he la not yet the oldeet man id
town by a long way. He has good reason to
be proud of bla children; the Good Book
aaya that children's children are an old
man'a orown. Bo be has a great crown.
When these little ones grow up to manhood
and womanhood. Mr. Henry will be a patriarch

tbe son of Robert Jones, deceased who lived
this town for many years preceding bli
atb. He filled oounty office for several
rms and bad tbe oonfldenoe of tbe people,
was evidenoed in tbe election returns. Hits
a, Joshua Y. Jones, appeared on tbe politl>
I field in 1869, and bis popularity among all
e people was even greater than tbat of bis
.her. His letters to tbe newapapers, -lgned
Iranger Sam" on farming, and wboee statesnta
were baaed on practical and successful
perienoe, struck a popular chord and bis
rsoual manner bad so won the public
art tbat be carried captive -a majority of

)oe| of sheriff: and be went with oomlsston

arageoas, honest, and having tbe good will
all mankind be, perbaps. tbe youngest
3cer in tbe state, went Into position under
