THE ABBEHILLE FAIR.
A Magnificent Display OF Stock.

wish had the "pen of ready writer"
that might give you readable account OF the
existing Fair at this place. Ny notes Of yesterday

must speak or things particularly.
At ten O'Clock the bugle sounded, the doors
opened, and in little while hundreds were
crowding the hall and grounds. AT eleven
O'Clock, music in the stock yard enticed the
crowd thitherward, and directly was announced
a grand display Of the horses; and such display
have seldom seen. Pairs, for which $1,000 had
been refused; were not uncommon. Single draft
and sad die horses too valuable for market; neet
racers and trotters, ths-pride OF their owners,
and the llliputian pony, were all led in grand
round through the lots, and handsomer display
need not have been desired in the blue grass re-
gions OF Kentucky.
Music enlvened the scene, and presently the
announcement was made that the contest Tor pre-
miums would occur in the hollow square IN lront
of the Courthouse. A few moments elapsed ana
out came span OF magnificent blacks, raiseo IN
the district. These splendid animals were, or
would have been, an ornament to any king"
Then came the spans contcnding against the
world for the cup. These were followed by the
single buggy horses, and then the saddle horses
and ponies In all Of these "rings" the contest
was close, and often the committee were "bother-
edp about their decision. That satisfaction was
universally given cannot be expected, but that
impartlality was shown think all hands agreed
During this exhibition, which consumed near
six hours, the immense throng were most orderly,
and nothing occurred to mar the pleasure OF every
one except the running away OF one OF the single
buggy horses, by which accident Mr.. Griffin was
thrown from his buggy and seriously injured
Every piazza and window and door, opening on
the square, was crowded by the fair, mot agrlcu-
tural,) but the lovely, beautiful women OF Alb
beville. The housetops too were in requisltion'
and as for the square, it was but moving mass.
Abbeville Is justly proud OF herself, and she
throws down the glove to the rest OF the State
and bills them meet her in Columbia next week.
II one.half the stock and articles on exhibition
here are sent to Columbia, and each OF the other
districts Of the State sends half as much as Abbe-
vile, the State Fair will he mammoth concern.
So mote 1t be.
Tonight have attended meeting OF the Ab-
beville Society, and listened with interest to their
friendly discussion of the various topics intro

and set on foot q sc'.eme to make this society .

To Young Men.

1t is easier to be a good business man
than poor one. Half the energy display
ed in keeping ahead that is required to
catch up when behind will save credit, give
more time to business, and add to the pro-
fit and reputation to your word. Honor
your engagements. If you promise to
meet man, OR do certain thing at GER
tain moment, be ready at the appointed
time. If you have work to do, do it at
once, cheerfully, and therefore more speed
lily and correctly. If you 60 out on bust
ness, attend promptly to the matter OH
hand, and then as promptly go about your
own business. Do not stop to tell stories
in business hours. .v
If you have a place of business, be found
there when wanted. No man can get rich
by sitting around stores and soloons.-
Never '.fool" on business matters. If you
have to labor for living, remember that
one hour in the morning is better than two
at night. If you employ others, be on
hand to see that they attend to their duties,
and to direct with regularity, promptness,
liberality Do not NEEDLE with any bust
ness you know nothing of. Never buy All
article simply because the man that sells it
will take it out in trade. Trade is money.
Time is money. A good business habit and
reputation is always money. Make your
your place of business pleasant and attrac-
tive: then stay there to wait on customers.
oil
self to make hasty or ungentlemanly re-
marks, to those in your employ; for to do
SO lessons their respect for you and your
influence over them. Help yourself and
others will help you. Be faithful over The
interests contided to your keeping. and all
in good time your responsibilities will be
increased. Do not be in too great haste to
get rich. Do not build until you have ar
ranged and laid good foundation. Do
not--as you hope to work for success
spend time in idleness. If your time is
your own. business will suffer if you do. If
it is given TO another for pay, it belongs to
him, and You have no more right to steal
that than to steal money. Be obliging.-
strive TO avoid narSn words ana perSontll-
ties. Do not kick every stone in the path;
more miles can be made in a day by going
steadily on than by stopping to kick. Pay
as you 90. \ man of honor respects his
word as he does his bond. Ask, but never
beg. Help others when you can, but never
give when you cannot offord to, simply be-
cause it is fashionable. Learn to say no.
No necessity of swapping it out dog-fash-
ion, but say it firmly and respectfully
Have but few contidents, and the fewer the
better. Use your own brains rather than
those of others. Learn to think and act
for yourself. Be vigilant. Keep ahead,
rather than behind the time.
Young men, cut this out, and if there is
folly in the argument, let us know.

Majestic monarch of the woods

Majestic monarch of the woods
Whose birth out date the time
Columbus crossed Atlantic floods,
To this our Western cline.
Linking the present with the past,
Our Glory with disgrace,
Times hands has reached thy heart at last
Thy noble form defaced.
What scenes of sorrow and of Joy
Have pass'd beneath thy shade
Twas here the dark eyed Indian boy
Caressed his Indian maid.
And here the eagle built her nest,
And here the Oriol sung
The joyous songs that pleased her best,
And reared in peace her young.
But, they are gone, all gone from thee
Twas the behest of fate
Old monarch, much pity thee,
Thou lookest so desolate
It's we'll that thou shouldst, crumble down,
And bow thine aged frame,
When treason strives for victory's crown,
Bought with our country's shame.
Our country's Father, Washington,:s
Beneath thy grateful shade
Ere yet his weary task was done,
His country's fame surveyed:
And little dreamed that four score years,
Their sorrows and their trials.
Would fill nations eyes with tears.
And ope the dreadful phials;
When the Unseen. hath sealed his wrath.
Through long and dreary ages,
And fill with blood our nations path,
With death its Aisterys pages.
Yet so it is and here they lie,
Who gave their richest blood,
Daring in freedoms cause to die,
Bathed in the crimson flood.
Oh God ! as thou art good and just,
And clothed with power and might,
Hear our loud wailings from the dust,
Gire rictory to the Right!
Bid all this war and strife to cease,
Dry up these floods of tears,
And let Thy glorious bow of Peace,
Link first with latest years.
