Opportunity of observing the condition of
the wheat and oat crop along the road. We
haigve never before seen such a magniicent
crop, eseci a nly in Abbeville County, and
If no disaster befalls It, there wlM be iar
vested the largest smll gran' crop ever
grown n this State. We noticed rust in
one weld of oheat, but It Is thought that
there will be no serious damage from his
cause. We notice& quite a number of mow
Ing machines at nearly every strtion along
the roa-, without which it is said not half
the crop could be saved.
At the ainual meeting of the stockhold
ere of the Atlantic and French Broad Val.
-ey Balroad at Abbeville C. 11. on the 4th
Instant, Capt. Cochran was elected Presi
dent, and the old Board of Directors was
re-elected, except that Prof. Hood was
elected Director in place of Capt. Cochran,
the President. The President. was directed
to confer with the President of the Edge,
#eld-and Trenton Road, and to call a meet
ing of stockholders of both roads nt as
efrly. a day as practicable at. Ninety Six.
fot' the purpose of effecting a consolidation
under the recent Act of the Legislaiure.
The pieeting will probably be held in June.
After the consolidation, a new board of
dlireotorb will be elected, who will, under
thenew charter, elect a President. We
learn that much enthusiism prevailed
amongst the stockholders, and that Ihe early
completion of the road was considered as
sured.

DEAR COL. Your letter received a few
lays ago. Since then have been quite
usy closing up a contract with part of our
ine from this polt. to the North Carolina
;tate line. For this portion of the line, as
ol. king and myself explained to you, we'
mad to apply for a new charter, which we
btained, and was required to go through
iertin lega' forms before the entire object
iould be effected. This we now have just
tecomplished, now we only have a short.
ink in the State of North Carolina to con
ilect our entire line or system. Thits part.
n North Carolina ha to form our connection
with the A. and F. B Valley of North Car
Lhina at or near Brevard to the head waters
Df Pigeon river on the Tennessee and North
Carblini. State line. This will require
simply an organization under the general
laws, and the legal time for the Iticorpora.
1ors to meet after the organization. All of
t his is now under way and will be consum
mated as soon as red tal e will permit. These
legal delays have been very annoying to
tme, especially when our desire was to com
p'ete the organizition of the consolidated
line at as early a period as we could.
I suppose 1 can sympathize with your
people in their great anxiety to see the cars
as soon as the contract is signed. This
work that we are now at is one t hat requies
muich care and attention, and we don't
wish, if possible, to mike any blunders or
mistakes in forming one of the beat and
most. substant'vI Railroad lines in the United
St ates.
I will writ e you as often as I have leisure,
but. you can tvel nssured that if you don't
hear as ofteni as I should write you, that I
am at work tor the interest of us all, and
do not. intend quitting' until the final is
sat8isthicl.ory to all.
Please give my regards to all my friends
-will see you as soof. as I canl.
Yours truly,

DEAR )af~ wna
*M4yed f%09 eIf. f his.tme dy
Caplan -Le(Vie' aobool and. their
guests.
At an early hour, the most ensual
obseiver could see that thi'was do
signed to be a gala, day, the weath,
or being all that could be wished.-..
The crowd began to gather early,
so when yojr correspondent urrived
on the school grounds there were
many young people enjoying Oro
quet, while others were tete a tete.
Thus the early morning hour
were spent, until -the "rattle" of tht
belt called all to the house.
There we found the uartistic handt
of the fair ones had been at work,
and right well too, had sho done her
noble woi k; for the flowers and ov,
ergcreens wore so arranged as to dis,
play a fine taste for festooning
wording &c.
Tho word 'Welcome" met the
(ye in large letters of evergreen
and flowors, and mado everybody
feel at home.
But space will not admit of a full
description of all the beauties there
to be seon, which, however well do
sci ibed, would have to be seen to be
eijoyed.
The exercises of the day were op.
ened by Capt:.in Lewis, who preseni
ted to the large audience the girls
of his school, and said in substance
as fol'ows:
"Kind Friends and Patrons: We
preselit you this morning out Mlay
Flo wers-peren n ml--bloom i ng not
only inl May, but all of the year; not
exotic plants, but born and reared
in our own beautifiul and lovely
Piedmont Belt., under tho blue
moutaliins, partaking of the nature
of their fiesh air and pure water,
tair specimnetis of liealth mnd beauty;
Ill they need is cultivation and
training.
"Give us your assistance and co
operation in this work of train.ing
and cutlt ivat ing, and, with the aidt of
Divine Providence, we will make
them good, useful anid industrious
men and women. Anid wvhen they
censoO to bloom on ear'th may they
be transferred to bloom in that bet
ter' Land.
'Ten followed a song, 'The Beatu -
tiful Land," led by Gi. W. Singleton
with his organ.
Then, caine forwvard the girls, each
with an aippi' priate selectioun. N ow,
I can't tell all of thtc ir pieces, nor
all of their names, tfor there were
twenty eight of themi, and they not
only did well but splendid.
Then followe d thirty twvo boysa
with splendid ae ectionis, whichl were
dehivercJ in good style.
Then10 followed the song "Never'
Say Faiil,'' led as befor'e.
Then~ the schiool was matrched to
the grove with a string band of
music, where we were introduced to
a table thirty five or forty feet [ong,
groaning under the fat of' the hind.
The table etiquette' was tht of' a
well recgubited faimily. First caime
the blessing by Rev. B. 8. (Taines,
then followed at slow but sure cate
ing. A gain and again the table
was covered wit h good things, but.
lhe foun tain, was inex haustibtle. |
T1he dar'kies were the last to eat.,
and still thiere wats provisions en.
>n)gh carrcied back home to have fed
is many' more.
The remainder of the day was
pent in Croquet, tete a teie, whiilo
nusic from the string band and the
>rgan was dispensed in the house to
is many as could get in.
Thus was spent one of the most
>l0asant dlays of our life.

Two maiden ladies who lived in
the village otten noticed a scantily

tin pail. On one occasion one of
these ladies accostod hert
"Little gil what have you got in
that pail?"
"W hiskey, ma'atm."
"Where do you live?"
"1Dow n in the hollow."
"I'll go home with you.
They soon came 'o a wretched
hovel in the hollow, outside of the
village. A palo, jaded, worn-out
woman met them at the door I,
side was a man, dirty, maudlin, and
offensive. '.Dhe lady, addressing the
woman, said:
"Is this your little girl?"
"Yes."
'6.Does she go to school?"
"No; she has no other clothee
than what you see."
'Doesi she go to Sunday School?"
"Sunday-school in these rags! Oh,
no!"
"If I furnish her with suitable
clothes, can she go?"
"It is no use giving her clothes.
Ile would steil them, and sell them
tor whiskey. Botter let the girl
alone; there im no hope for her, or
for us."
"But she ought to go to School.'?
An arrangement was entered in,
to whereby the child should call at
