McGhoc, died at his home near Cokes bury, on last Tuesday, the first day of Juno, 1885. Captain MeGheo was born in Anderson couUty, in 1840, and was therefore in the thirty ninth year of his age. lie *vas a son of Col. Abncr II. MeGhee, who was killed in the Confederat* army nt the head of his regiment, and was one of the most gallant and distinguished oilicers in the service. Capt. McChee entered the Citadel Academy during the the war, hut after remaining (here only a short time joined the Confederate army at the nge of sixteen and stayed in it until the surrender, proving himself a gallant and faithful soldier and winning the respect and confidence of his comrades in arms. Left without means at the close of * the war, he engaged himself as a clerk to the firm of Strauss, Vance & Co., at Cokesbury. l?y diligence and close application to his business he soon acquired so good a reputation that he was able to commence business for himself, and for a number of years was a prominent and successful merchant at Cokesbury } and Hodges. Of late years he took quite an active interest in pontics. In ldaO lie was a candidate for the Legislature to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge McGowon, and came within a few "votes of election. In 1882, lie was . elected First Vice-President of the County Club? nnd in 1884, was elected . a delegate to the National Democratic Convention at Chicago. There he was one of the faithful eight who voted for Cleveland from first to last When quite a young man he connected himself ^ witli the Methodist Church, and was for .. 7* number of years an official member, contributing as much perhaps to its support as any other man at Cokesbury. He wns also for a long time connected i with the Masonic Lodge at Cokesbury, I nnd was the Master of it at least one 1 term. For several years before his i death he was Captain of the Butler Hi- \ fies and Mart. Gary Guards at Hodges. i r? luctn i jlii uiv iiiuti jniiv ui iouu ur uunjr jmrt of 18(57 he married Miss Kophronia j Ilodges, ft daughter of Captain Sam i Undoes, of Cokesbury. She, with nine I children survive him. < Six months ago he was hale nnd hear- 1 ty, and had ever}* promise of a long 1 life, but in the latter part of December, I consumption laid its fell hand upon 1 liim, and the mostskillful medical atten- | tion and careful nursing could do noth- t ing to check it. Capt. McGhee was a public spirited 1 nnd useful citizen, and his place can not i easily be filled. Of his private virtues, as husband, father, brother, friend, we will say nothing. Let us who were his J friends drop a tear to his memory and ' strew a few flowers upon his grave, but ' let us not intrude upon the sacred pri- , vacy of liitf grief-stricken wife'and ehil- < dren or vainly seek to oirer consolation 1 to their wounded hearts. ' T" | \ Death of James C. Cnllioun. , / Two weeks ago the friends of this J young gentleman were astonished and . grieved to hear of his sudden and violent ] illness from a complication of-maladies. I Last week they were called to mourn < Jiis death. ' Mr. Calhoun was a young inon of most exemplary life and morals. His quiet, modest and dignified bearing won tor him tho rcspect of all with whom he wns brought into association. Ho had entered upon the study of law, and as we watched him day by duy delving with untiring energy into the intricacies of that study, and observed his habits of industry and application , we predicted for him great success in * in the practice of the law. Hut death has taken him away before lie had j tasted the fruits of his labor. Mr. Calhoun was a son of Mr. .las, Calhoun and a grand son of Col. .J. A. Calhoun antj Mrs. S. M. Calhoun and died nt tho residence of the latter. He was < laid to rest in the Episcopal church yard, and ninny a heart was sad over the untimely death of a bright and noble ' inan.

Hemphill was badl} mashed up and Captain Parks had one leg broken. There was "a grievous mourning" throughout the county, ami in their grief the citizens intend erecting a handsome monument to the memory of Mr. Wilson, just similar in pattern and design to the one that appeared in the Press and Banner on liS)th ol last March. This misfortune happened 011 last Friday iJ9th of May. An Opera Honse. A proposition ?s being considered, by one who has the means, to build an Opera House in Abbeville. If the town will take an interest in the mattrr, or an enterprising man, or company of men will insure its use and occupation it will be built. There can be no doubt of tho value of such an enteriirise to our fow-11. First, it is an ornament, next, it affords opportunities of amusement that conic seldom to us in thecotontry for lack ol just such houses. Then it brings troops to our town who spentl their money for board and lodging &c. In order to attract people to our town we must make it attractive. If any "person desires to lease the Opera House, anil will call on us, we will confer with him. Election. The rail road election came off in the Court House, 011 Monday. Everything passed off quietly. There was no disturbance of an}* kind, but a good deal of pleasant raillery and badinage, and also of active canvassing for voles was done. One hundred and eighty-eight votes were cast. For Subscription, 120, No SlllMi'riiitinn (!H MnlniMii- <".?* M..I. , ...j .Ui k.U;scription, 62.

The ordinance recently ratified by the City Council of Columbia prohibiting the carrying of poultry with their heads down was a wise measure and has had good eflect in securing to our citiizens healthy poultry. No one dreamed that the ordinance would accomplish more than that, but it has done more. A gentleman purchased a couple of ;rown fowls at the market yesterday, ind was carrj'ing them home in a lawful manner, when quite unexpectedly jne of the hens deposited an egg in his liand. lie naturally dropped his hand but was surprised to see the fresh egg fall into a sand bed and remain intact.

From all that one could gather on Saloday from the fnrmres the oats crop has been greatly helped by the recent rains, and a pretty fair crop will be made. Wheat has not improved , much.

FROM THE SON: "SSft&SZ 'i "Gentlemen: My father reside* at Glover, Vt. llo has boon a groat sufferer from Scrofula, and the inclosed letter will toll you what a marvelous effect Ayer s Sarsaparilla has had In his case. I think his blood moat have contained tlie humor for at least ten k> years; but It did not show, except in the form of a scrofulous soro on llio wrist, until about ?.- five years ago. From a few spots whleh apr. peared at that time, it gradually spread so a* to cover his entire body. I assuro yon he was t> terribly afllictcd, and an object of pity, whon >! he began using your modlolne. Now, there ar? >1 few mon of his ago who enjoy as good health >f as ho has. I could easily name fifty persons p. who would testify to the facts in his case. II Yours truly, W. M. rniLLlPS.'* " FROM THE FATHER pleasure anA !s. * duty for ma to state to you the benefit I *' Lave derived from tlie u;a of , Ayer's Sarsaparillav >r Six months ago I was completely eoverod with a terrible humor and scrofuloua sores. The humor caused an inoessant and Intolerable itching, and tho skin craoked so as to cause the blood to flow in many plaoes whenever I moved. My sufferings were great, and my life a burden. I commenced the use of the 11 Sarsaparilla In April last, and have used ) it regularly slnoo that time. My condition began to Improve at once. Tho soros have all healed, and I fool perfectly well in every respect?being now able to do a good day'a work, although 73 years of age. Many inquire >r what has wrought such a cure in my case, and , I tell them, as I have here tried to tell yon, Ater's Sabsaparilla. Glover, Vt., OoU 81,1582.
