We learn that it has been decided to bold ?he Abbeville County Teachers' Ins i u on the 17th of May next, at Due West. The institute will last four days, and board and lodging will bo p o.ided without cost to the teacher. The programme has not been positively decided upon, but we understood there will be three kinds of exercises. First, normal exercises will be conducted bj' the faculties of the male and female colleges at Due West, and at which will be taught the primary branches. Second, an association of t le teachers to discuss generally the principles of teaching *^l over which the School Commissio..er will preside, and third, lectures in the evening by A some distinguished educator. The public schools will be closed that week and every white teacher is expected to attend. Literary Club. The club met Friday night at the residence of Mr. W. H. I'urker. ^Mr. D. L. Mabry read a most interesting essay on the life of the Chevalier Bayard. Mr. Mabry is a very graecfnl writer, and this paper was in his best vein. It was very much enjoyed by the club, and was highly spoken of. The club will meet next at the residence of Capt. L. \V. White. Mr. Archer was appointed to read the next essay, with Mr. W. P. Calhoun as alternate. llroke his Sknll. Last Thursday, Caesar and Joe Cunningham, both colorcd, who live in the neighborhood of Due West, became involved in a quarrel about a woman, whereupon Caesar struck Joe on the the head with a piece of a paragon tire and fractured Joe's skull. It was thought at first that he could not n cov?r er. But at this time he is not dead, and his chances are better. Railroad Meeting. The citizens of the town and township of Abbeville are requested to meet in the Court House on Wednesday afternoon, next, at 5 o'clock, to hear a report from the delegates to the Convention of the Chester. Greenwood and Abbeville Railroad, held in Columbia on the evening of .the 13th instant. L. W. PERUIN. Chairman. t > \ MESSAGES. l y'' ftro only f?ur prisoners in jail. lJudge.

This is "Passover Week." and ^"celebrated by our friends of the Jewish persuasion. We understand that the hands on the S. V. R. K. stopped work the other day. Struck. Mr. Julius Visankn, an enterprising merchant of Troy, is spending Passover Week with relatives in Abbeville. Our handsome and distinguished young friend Major Earnest Gary, of Edgefield is visiting friends in town. The Prosbvterians have a new Bible for their church. It was purchased for them by Capt. L. W.

School Commissioner Hodges will be absent from his office again this week, visiting the schools. He proposes to visit every white school Ifcnd most of the colored ones in the county. Joe Gordon has furnished two hundred trees Vto the council this Rpring. The Council have done much good work in thfs line. Surely the political campaign has begun. At any rate the ly ing has. One peripatetic little liar is going to get into trouble before this campaign is over, Messrs. M. L. Bonham, Jr., and W A. Templeton leave this morning to attend the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Honor, which meets in Gercgetown v t >morrow night. J There will be more mad dogs in town now than you can shake a stick at.

R. if., is in two miles of that town. It must be a glorious re* flection for LowndeflvHle and her citizens to think how much hor pluck and perseverance did to bring this road. A certain gallant young friend of ours who lives not a thousand miles from where the turbid waters of the Savannah flow, comes down right often tosee his fathen Rumor^has it that ' ' <?' V j . ' . ^ One of the prominent citizens of the ht enterprising town of Troy, wishes to w know when to plant beans when "good an Friday" comes on Sunday." We give it up. Can't some one inform him. sc The Savannah Valley Railroad has to reached Rockey River and the bridge stover that stream is nearly finished. It fo will reach Lowndesville it is thought in m ine course 01 a week. of There was another smash up on the $2 Augusta and Knoxville road last week th at Bradley, caused by a switch being hi leTt open. The engine was pretty bad- o? iy used up but no passengers were of hurt. ad George Brisco, a negro man living ^ some miles in the county, who has been suffering with dropsy, was brought to town last Saturday by his frienda, for pi medical treatment. But it seems that sc the trip was too much for him, and he pr died soon after reaching town. cu Major F. W. II. Nance was in town on Monday. He is one of the best farmers in the county. He gave us an cu ear of very fine corn which is nil average of about six hundred bushels that ^ he raised last year. He has about forty-five acres of corn that is well up co now. That is the sort of a farmer who makes money at the business. Some excitement was caused yestorday morning by the strange behavior of Mr. Shillito's pointer, Nip. The dog ran about in a wild and excited manner and snupped "c at and slightly bit a little child. The a 1 dog was pursued and killed, which was I nnrKa r u Ku t it'fl Kovn nn IS that it was nia?l. We knew that dog and it was naturrlly vicious and snappish, wi Hut we have no idea that it was mad. p:i Last July, Sam, the little two and a l'' half year old boy of Mr. and Mrs. L. lv. Bowie got a watermelon seed in his in windpipe. All that surgical skill could th do could not dislodge it. It remained do there until last Friday when the little pi; fellow ejected it in a fit of coughing. During the first part of the time of the i<_M wallowing it he suffered a good deal, atterly we understand he has not sufred so much. ^ When in Augusta recently we stopped at the Globe Hotel, which is under jia a new management. This hotel has *| been tl.'ytoughly renovated and is be- cj( yond doubt the best in the city. Excellent cuisine, polite clerks and attentive servants impress one when stopping at the Globe, and if you once stop there we know you will wish to go no where else when in Augusta. se llue West Dots. o?l Balmy Spring. th Plenty of straw hats.

This qi feeling was strengthened by the last c< railroad meeting, not a voice opposed, tl It was remarked publicly thero last week o that aome of our friends thnr?l<i ive a road. This impression may he t rong, still it has been so expressed I id we so report it. t There are several reasons for the ' hool fund running short in Due West wnship this year. The number of liolars in the schools of the township i r Inuf ?nnr full shnrf. Tht? aillOUIlt Ol ( oney received is based on the number J scholars. We lost in this way some j 100. Again the trustees overdrew < eir share of the funds l?y nearly a mdri d d >llars and it had to be made up I* of this year. Again a large majority the teachers are tirs*t grade. We maj Id as information that there are only o colored schools drawing pay from eir fund this year. School Commissioner Hodges spent a irtion of last week looking after the hools of this section, lie has made a oposition to the faculties of the two lieges to hold the County Normal :hool bore. Mr. Hodges met the two culties in joint meting and after dis- 1 ission, a resolution was passed offering j eir co-operation and if the way be clour } e Institute will meet the last of May, i ginning probably about the 17th. A mmittec was appointed to consider e matter in all its details and make a ' 11 report to a joint meeting which ill be held by the faculties in a few : A colored man on Mr. Luther Had- , iu's plantation was knocked down with ^ piece of wagon tire in the hands of . other colored man.

AYER'S Hair Vigor restores, with tho gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich brown color, or deop black, m may he desired. By its use light or red hair may be darkened, thin hair thickened, and baldness often, though not always, cured. It checks falling of tho hair, and stimulates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and heals nearly every diseaso peculiar to tho scalp. As a Ladies' Ilalr Dressing, tho Vigor is unequalled; it contains neither oil nor dyo, renders the hair soft, glossy, and ellken in appearance, and imparts a delicate, agreeable, and lasting perfume. Mr. C. P. Bricher writes from Kirby, O.. Jtilfi 3, 1882 : " Lost fall my hair commenced frilling out, and iu a short time 1 became nearly bald. 1 used part of a bottlo of Ayek'b Hair Vigor, which stopped the falling of tho hatr, and started a new growth, i have now a full head of bair growing vigoi ously, and am convinced that but for lib use of your preparation 1 should have beet, entirely bald." ?. ?t. DDWE5, proprietor 01 me jiic.iriiiur (Ohio) Enquirer, says : ' AVer's Haih Vkkib is a moat excellent preparation for the liair. 1 speak of it from my own experience, its use promotes tho growth of now hair. And makes it glossy mid soft. The Vigor is also a suro cure for dandruff. Not within my knowledge has the preparation ever failed to give cutiro satisfaction." Mr. A sacs Fairbairx, leader of the celebrated " Fairhairn Family" of Scottish Vocalists, writes from Boston, Alast., Feb. 6, 1SS0 : " Kver since my hair began to give ail. very evidence of the change which fleeting time procuretli, 1 have used Aykr's Hair. Vigor, and so have been able to maintain an appearance of youthfulness ? a matter of considerable consequcnce to ministers, orators, actors, and in fact every one who lives ' in the eyes of the public." Mrr. O. A. Pbebcott, writing from 18 Elm St., Chtir/esfotcn, Mcus., April 14, 1H82, nays : " Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair came otr. It thinned very rapidly, and 1 was fast growing bald. On using Aykk'h Hair Vigor tlie falling stopped and a new growth commenced, and in about a month my head was completely covered with short hair. It 1i:m continued to grow, and is* now as good as before it foil. I regularly used but one bottle of the Vigor, but now use it occasionally as a dressing." Wo have hundreds of similar testimonials to the efficacy of AVER'S Hair Vigor, it needs but a trial to convince the most skepucal of its value. prepared bv ' ? Dr. J. C. Ayer&Co., Lowell, Mass. Sold by all Druggists. . a x/rnjri mi ? a Alfilld riLU. A large proportion of tho diseases which cause human suffering result from derangement of the stomach, bowels, and liver. Ayer's Cathartic Pills act directly upou these organs, and are especially designed to cure the diseases caused by their derangement, including Constipation, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery, and a host of other ailments, for all of which they are a safe, sure, prompt, and pleasant remedy. The extensive use ef these Pills by eminent physicians In regular practice, shows unmistakably the estimation in which they are held by the medical profession. These Pills are compounded of vegetable substanoes only, and are absolutely free from calomel or any other luJuriouB ingredient. ^ "? A Sufferer from Headache writes: " AVer's Pills are invaluable to me, and are my constant companion.
