O ^ 9 Call Accepted.?We understand that Rev. John Kershaw, son of Judge Kershaw, of Camden, has resigned his | position bs rector of Trinity Church, at Abbeville, S. C., and accepted a call to fill a similar position at Beaufort, S. C. ' The Abbeville Press and Banner siys 1 of bim : "His congregation regret to ' part with one who has labored with ' them so zealous'v and so acceptably for the past several venrs." ' t Snow ?On last- Sunday morning wc 1 had the fitst snow for thi? year. Tl>c storm lasted about one boar, and in 1 that time a whiti- manMe of "beautiful ?n-iw" bad covered everything. A^nut ten o'clock tbe weather bad moderated ' n little and a gentle rain set. iu which * sunn swept it all away.

When our farmers learn to do without them altogether, though^ their cotton crops may not bo near 60 large, we believe they Will hare much more money in th'-ir p-icketR at the end of the year than if they hud ustd them. - ?< Retireo ?

I Do not depend entirely npon cotton, or you will lose.

Now, before it is too late, stop and thiuk, and you may yet regain i part of your lost fortunes.
