K' ^' * WV . . The * Abbeville Messenger. Entered at fcho postoffico as 2nd-class matter. WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 1S85. SUBSCRIPTION $2 00 Road Afijnln. The notice of the annual meeting of the Abbeville Bible Society, should be read again. Note the age of this venerable organization. No institution outside of the Church itself is more to the credit of the county than this. It bus lived through the most distinctive vicissitudes. It has survived not only a groat national revolution, but that grenter trial, the coldness of its friends. Have the Christlsn poople of this count}' ever 1 thought of the claims of the American - - Bible Society upon their sympathy and i help ? Haye they thought how this no' ble institution has stood at the back of 1 every Missionary Board in all the land? 1 I how it has helped forward the work of ^ Foreign Missions by its translations of i I the Bible in more than two hunurcd i languages, translations secured at great ( i expense and an incredible amount of labor ? Have thev remembered how cheap it has made the llible, placing ] this blessed Uook in the reach of the veriest pauper in all the land? Do they call to uiind how wisely, how faith. fully and how benevolently this society has usod the millions of dollars with ^ which it has been entrusted ? Surely i our appreciation of its great work is not 1 to be measured by our contributions to its treasury. Just think of it follow- j christians : 1 suppose there are at ^ least seven thousand members of the church, (white) in this county, in the various denominations. Now what is I 'the amount of money that goes up f yearly from this vast congregation to the American bible Society? It is less *1 i i j .....i i;r?.. .1..11...... i t tliu.ll U1IU IIUIHIIL'U 11IIU Jllb)' UUII'llft . X ^ must bolievo tliat if this matter were rightly understood, if it were placcd before the congregations in its real mag- ^ nitude and importance the contributions > would be greatly increased. It is a good work, tho work of the 0 Master, clearly so?and those who en- j gage in it heartily shall reap the reward of those who sow' beside all waters. Let u$ have a full meeting on July ^ 22d in the Methodist Church. s W. M. UitiKit. c A local lici'ckinnus. o Our popular Sheriff is a man of most exquisite taste in horticulture and an ' excellent farmer, upon a small pint of ? land on Magazino Hill he has a variety of fruits and grains that is remarkable. ' First comes a lot of pop corn, then a v row of Ilybird Texas blackberries, then 11 a row of grapes, then sonic perfectly Bplcmlid corn, then cucumbers, water- I melons, cantelopen, more grnpes, more k corn, strawberries, more grapes, and so on ml infinitum. It is perfectly wonderful the variety of things Mr. DnPre jj ^ has and all of the best quality, flowers, fruits and vegetables abound in beauty 1 and^profusion. Mis poultry yard is the host arranged we ever saw and his sue- I cess has been srreat. Thirteen liens S> have laid 1)54 eggs since the 1st of Jun_,/-^u?ry, of these 231 wore set, the balance were eaten, 130 chikens were hatched, " 25 have been eaten and there remain ( 311 about 30 of them arc large frying c size the. others from tiny little fledglings up to big grown roosters and lwns. f .And all this lias cost only .$12,85. The t Sheriff ought to raise chickens for the t market, lie has a fortune in it. And \ Mrs. DuPre has as many us the Sheriff. They arc kept separtte and distinct. Hers arc mostly a cross of the Plj-mouth ' Hocks and other birds, and his of the ^ Wyandotte and others. It is a sight j wen worm seeing, tins splendid collec lion of fowls, fruits, flowers anil farm products. i ] "Educational Harbecue." < ? We are much obliged to our friends at McCormick, for the following invita-' 11 tion. Some of us will certainly 1 jpresent. It is an enterprise that de- j /' 6erves success. l McCobmick, So.

Respectfully. D. Wyatt Aiken. J A Strong Team. I Messrs O. T. Calhoun and D. Ti. Ma- | bry have formed a partnership (or the practice of the law. Their card will be found in our columns. Mr. Calhoun is - > ? well known (o our people, and has already established a reputation. Mr. Mabry is a young man of fine cduca {ion and natural abilities. Together the two will make a strong team, and it is safe to predict that they will get their share of tho practice at tho Bar. We present the new firm to our people with confidence, feeling assured that it will sustain itself worthily and well. New Depot* Tho authorities of the Augusta & Knoxville Road are building a large and commodious depot at Greenwood. We understand that the authorities of the Columbi* A OriKinuillo l'?"? r ^ * i?iv uvn<i) nave nt*r?" od written notice on thein forbidding the work, on the ground that that lot was ceded to the C. & G.

All teacher who expect to attend the country Institute, at this placc on July 22n i. are earnestly requc ted to send in their names to Mr. Cleo. C.

Decent burial of the dead is a duty?a j respect due to departed friends* Mr. Leavell will answered all calls in this line.

Smith went to a pic nic at "The Point," on Saturday. It rained, | the singletree broke, Dick (the horse) , lot his le? cut. anil so it appears "the boys" had a monkey and parrot time. To most children the bare suggestion 1 of a dose of castor oil is nauseating. Why not, then, when physic is neces- * sary for the little ones, use Ayer's Cathartic Pills ? They combine every { essential and valuable nrincinle of a ca thartic medicine, and being sugar coated ^ are easily taken. Miss Hell, a lovely and attractive young lady from Charlotte N. C., and a student of the Due West Female College, has been 011 a visit to her cousin, t Mrs. W. 1'. Widenmn. She returned to 1 the Old North Slate 011 Saturday.

Mr. Chisoltn is expected to ar- '' rive in Abbeville on Thursday, and will ^ conduct services in the Presbyterian Church, on Thursday and Friday even- <1 ings and on the sacrament of the Lord's 1 Supper will be administered V?3* him in a Lhe same church. We understand the v congregation arc considering the leasi- n bilily of extending a call to Mr. Chisolm. r Almost every person has some form a of scrofulous poison latent in his veins, f When this develops in scrofulous sores, o ulcers, eruptions, or takes the form of <] rheumatism, or organic discuses, thesuf- : taring that ensues is terrible beyond ilescription. Hence the grattituile of . those who discover, as thousands yearly lo, that Aver's Sarsaparrilla will thor- * mighly eradicate this evil from the system. t There is a report current that some * western red oats were sold here last fall and planted by some of ours fanners. We are requested to ask any o*ie who may have planted them to give, through the medium of our paper, his experience with the same. Do they differ from our red rust proof oats and in what respect. We will be glad to hear ^ from any person having any knowledge (?f them. We were much impressed on the occasion of a recent visit to Greenwood by t the evidences of the growth of that i place.

It is proposed t^ dedicate this building and to use the occasion to | awaken interest in the general cause of education. There will be a big crowd present, and we hope Abbeville will be A represented. The following visitors are at Little * Mountain which is fast becoming a sum- f mer resort for our people.
