A drive of sixteen miles in the coo! niul bracing air of a December evening along a romantic road brought a coupli of the "town boys" to the new town o Troy. Only a few years back in jour neving to the Mines have we reined u| at the little dingy blacksmith shop u have a shoe lightened or quietly quench' e<l thirst at the obi w< 11 hard by unmolested by the rumble of the mouarci of locomotion or the sharp look out o the ubiquitous town marshal. This time the well has added to its diguilic: and now is the town well, the black smith shop lingers as the rusty link boiwcfn the gloomy past and the glowing present, and with dilHc.ulty tin; sh viu; steed could ue urged across the uailroat track running through the heart of tin town which though hardly out of it> swaddling clothes gives evidence of r vigorous manhood. We had lmrelv inquired of the street urchin, which is indigenous to al! town soil, where tin "Metropolitan Hotel" was. when wt were generously seized by a faithful representative of Kdgetield hospitality, but now Abbeville by adoption, and made ah welcome as only Kdgetield knows how, A distinguished ex-member of our 15ni \vas accustomed in his life time to say that Kdgedehl was a mighty good place to be born in?provided a man leaves there very early in life. This was jokingly applied, of course, to himself, and the prescription bids as fair to work as well in the present case as it did hi the tirst. This prosperous and wide-awake town, ancient only in name, has among its ornamental attractions a well organized Social Club, composed of the young men of the town. The society event of the season to the Trojans and their friends is the annual entertainment given bj this Club, where those who can dance lind a 'time to dance," a:.d greatly are these nrnncioiK Timrsiiln v- nvnniiw last was tho time and Whatley Hall the place designated for the celebration of tho nntiual ball of J881, and it may l><? safely said that no affair of the kind outbide of a first-class city has ever heon more ndiuirahly managed in all of its details and mora heartily enjoyed by the ladies, for whose special benefit of course those occasions arise. The committee of arrangements, at the head of which was Mr. A. Davis, assisted ably by A. tJ. Youngblood, J. H. Harris. T. C. I.?ites, J. I'. .Jay, J. S. Burnilt and .1 no. Chiles, had perfected every minutiae of their important oflice. The hall was brilliantly lighted and waxed to sliile the clumsiest, and ttiv music by I'ishburn's band of Augusta, was equal to the strains of Orpheus' lute, in its effect upon the gav dancers who wore gracefully gliding, indulging joyously in the "poetry of motion.'' The Troy Social Cluh h;nl circulated most exquisitely designed cards of invitation to various parts of the country Hiid the adjoining county of Kdgefield * nnd there upon the line of these two chivalric counties, always famed for their lovely women ami for their nohle manhood, upon whose brow fear or Khamc are alike ashamed to sit, was gathered this beautiful and gallant assembly, which in magnilicent display nnd graceful ease is seldom excelled. It is ennobling to frail human nature to entertain even for a. moment, the angel presence of a generous emotion, ami such inspiring occasions present the lovely scene of stern valor yielding to nothing in the wide world but tho approving smiles of the sweetest of women. Those who perchance waste the golden hours of time in fruitless invective against tho devotees of the dance should not lose sight of this feature, but rather teach their boys to be brave and their girls to be pure ami association in this pleasant way will be mutually inspiring. ? The floor managers wore Messrs. (J. 0. Bradley, ?J. M. Kennedy and Hr. \V. S. Killingsworth, and the ball was opened promptly At eight o'clock with a quady rille which was gracefully danced. "The / next set was the Lancet," and this in turn was followed by waltzes, quadrilles, polkas, etc., until the card of twenty dances was exhausted and the weary pretty ones at half-past one breathed a sigh, as the last strains of Homd Siviiot Homo died away, and the ^ hall like the "nest from which the birds hnvc flown" was deserted. The generosity of the Trojans was unbounded and we make for the Abbeville contingent our most grateful acknowledgments and hope that they will soon give us an opportunity to reciprocate, promising faithfully that there shall be "nothing wrong with that liquor." "Tlio Abbeville Club." A number of the young men of town who take pleasure in adding to the nimiKOtllPlll of the fuir unv >?<> ilw. ..C lice of T. I*. Cuthi'HU.

We hope to have a number of visitors in town during Christmas and this action of our young men is very commendable'. Wo know they will have a grand affair. Dratli <??* Mn? n?<l Wift. ' Oh last Saturday night Lewis Williams and his wife died on Capt. II, Brooks' placp, about six miles from Ninety-Six, their deaths occurring within an hour of each other. Lewis was ivn exceptionable good negro, paying it i# said, twenty-five b.?b;s of cotton rent, and running a personal account with our merchants of about fifteen hundred dollars. Polite, thrifty, peaceable and industrious, his death was a greater loss to the agricultural interest of his neighborhood than the exodus of a car load of commo i negroes.

Wo had u pleasant trip to Laurens last week, and t<t ucued by way of the new li:iilrou<l. which is upon for travel as far as Waterloo in Laurens County. 'J'he track is Inid t ? within about two and a half miles of Laurens, whore work is i progressing on a heavy tressle. The > new road is decidedly a good one, with a splendid track and is doing a good business. At Waterloo our friend and I townsman. )osh .Jones, got aboard ami P journeyed willi us. lie is the quarter' master for the construction force, and is looking well. Camp life agrees with ^ him. 11 e came to Abbeville with us and returned 011 Monday. At Waterloo we , found a (iivenwood young man, Mr. T. ( N. Parks, doing a good commercial business and acting as depot agent. Col. .1. L. M. Irby, of Laurens, has bought the thoroughbred four year old i stallion Visitor, from Capt. <i. W.

About half-past twelve o'clock Saturday night the alarm of lire was raised and in a short time brought a crowd to the drug store of \V. S. Cothran & Co. The room was full <>f smoke but a few buckets of water well directed extin^ guished the lire and the crowd dispers. ed. The origin of the tire was accidental. The stove* had liePll olentied mit \ Friday and the ashes thrown into a wooden box near l>y. In the box the coals ha<l smouldered until Saturday night and when discovered, the lire had hurnt through the box and lloor and had I fallen into the cellar below, where in a short time it would have ignited some ' old boxes filled with hay and caused a considerable tire. The /'reus (ttttl Iianni'r is over the drug store and the bachelor editor was thoroughly aroused. i>i?;atiis. Some *f our readers will remember i Maj. J. K. Nance, who made an eloquent and soul-stirring speech at Due West, on November 1st, on the occasion of the big meeting there, and will regret to hear that ho died suddenly on . Monday 3rd ios?ant. Major Nance was a gallant officer of the 3rd S. C. llegi- i mont, and was a brother of our fellowcitizen, F. W. II. Nance and Drayton It. Nance. When we saw hi 111 in Due West hi? had been called thither by the . illness of his brother Drayton. But death came to him first. But now in less than a week after the death of Major Nance, we must chronicle that of i his brother Drayton, who died of con- i sumption, on Sunday, at his home near < Due West. Truly death has been busy in this devoted family. Deal It of MisH i)cnni Conner. Death has laid his hand with more J than usual weight on the household of ] our friend Mr. L. 1>. Conner. His j daughter Kugenin. whose household name was Dcnni. lovely in person, beautiful in character and idolized by those who ktic\}* her, departed this life on December 5. 1SS4. She was born on August 8th. ltt(>7. and though young, had 1 long e'er the final hour came, made her peace with (rod. We arc assured by those who were with h<?r that death for her had no terror. She had put her ( house in order,and with the calmness and < consciousness of one who feeds her sins i forgiven, she awaited the summons that | called her soul into the presence of God. She is happy ! To her nfiiicled family we would not utter the commonplaces of condolence. We feel for them and ' with them, and they have the genuine 1 ftvmpalhv of this community. 1 i PERSONAL.

Wgti'HI'ka, Ai.a., Sept. 2S, 1881.-About six years ago I became nillicted with a very disagreeable skin disease, with large, dry sores and many crusted pimples on my face, hands and shoulder. The soro on my shoiilner cat out a hole nearly an inch deep, and the cancerous up pea ranee of one of (he sores near my eye alarmed me very much. I tried allkirds of treal menl, but found nothing that seemed to affect the disease. 1 finally decided to try S. S. S. on advice ol' a physician, and in a short time the scabs dropped from the sores and left my bkin smooth mid well. I consider S. S. S. the greatest blond medicine mode, and the only thing that will cure the disease with which I was afflictcd. I think my trouble was the result of a terrible at tack of malarial fever, eontractcd while tanning iu the Tallapoosa ri\er swamp. 1 can be found at inv office in the court house at \Vetumpka.

Twoof the best physicians of tl.o city und also a xurtreim were callcd in, ami after a careful examination they decided that thcro was uo chanco of a turc unless they would consent to uiidersro a surgical operation. Wo were inueii opposed to tho knifo being used, until nil otlier means had been exhausted. So. wo began to use different throat remedies sold at drug stores. We finnlly got to ID Brewer's Lung Itestorer, and the effects we re truly wonderful; and after a few bottles lr?d ,s been taken tliey were entirely relieved of the ?S trouble and their health fully restored. If any of my family should over bo similarly affected, II I would, if necessary, travel around the world In in order to get this remedy. Very respectfully, W. II. MANSFIELD, " Macon, (Ja. Macon, Oa., August 15th, 1880. With grent pleasure I cortify to the efficacy of that truly excellent preparation?Brewer's Lung Hestorer. It has Indeed proven to bo a sovereign remedy in my family. For many _ months my wife run suffered fiy>m weak lunps, and has exporteneed great difficulty In brefthlri(j, so inucn so that she could not sleep at all nt I nlirht; she also lost her appetite, and. In fact, L. h*r condition was truly abu-ining. Tho Lun;j Hestorer having been recommendod by several friends. I resolve.?to ?ot it and teat its virtues, which I did. nnd wi'li tho most happy efeet. 8ho has taken but two bottles, and the result is wonderful. 8ho now experiences no diUi'>uity In breathing, hor appetlto Is gooi1, and si a is rapidly recainlng her strcncrth. and I am convinced Its continued use will effect a permauont n, cur.;. I would, therefore, clieorfnily recommend or It to all who havo wrnk lup~<?, ns It cannot fall to bo of great bt ne.it to all who may give'it a trial Yours trulv. GEO. W.
