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

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

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

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*

To most children the bare suggestion 1

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.

the nicest in the up country. Greenwood '
has had a big boom and we are glad of
it. ^
The grand educational meeting at .
McCormick, on the 17th inst., is one
worthy the attendance of every citi/.en
of the County. Sirs. McCorinick has
given, to that town, an Institution thut
is an honor to her and a pride to the
town. It is proposed t^ dedicate this

awaken interest in the general cause of
education. There will be a big crowd
present, and we hope Abbeville will be A
represented.
