CoNvICrs COULD FINISH THE TCN-
NEL.-Letit it be borne in mind that the
convicts of the State, quartered in Co.
lumbia at heavy expense to the tax
payers of the State, could cut the Blue
Ridge Railroad tunnel, and thus save to
our people an immense amount of
money, and secure an inestimable bless
ing in the completion of that most i'm
portsnt railway. If the tunnel was
finished, the work would soon be finish
ed. We have the labor at our command
to finish it, and we trust our Legislature
will SO direct it.
Mr.. w. T. MILFORD, the polite clerk
s0f Mr.. Martin Erwin, of Antreville,
was in town last week, and said that he
never read better paper thau the Ab6e-
viUe Press and Banner. He complained
about the timidity of the young ladies
of Antreville, in not proposing. He
said when he was in Texas the young
ladies scared him by presenting a re-
volver at him if he refused her hand in
marriage. So says Wosmansky.
JUDGE MILFORD is making altstations
in his house, and Mr.. WosnlaDsky'S
family, who have been living with him
over year, have to leave the lower de-
partment and move upstairs. We don't
know what all this renovation means,
but think that the Judge of Probate
wants to make somebody happy. We
asked Mr.. Wosmansky about it, but he
doesn't know exactly Who it is.
Mr.. PICK MILFORD, when he was in
Arkansas. crossed swamps fifty miles
long, knee deep in water, in one day,
and had three chills on the way. When
the chills were on him he lay in the
panels of the fence on planks which
were put there for the accommodation
of men in his condition. So he says.
THE REFORMATION. - Sunday, the
3lst day of October, was the 35Sth an
niversary of the Festival of the Refor-
nation, which dates from the dag on
which Luther nailed upon the church
door at Wittenberg the ninety-five
theses against the sale of indulgences.
LAST week Mrs. WosDlansky went
out to Rev. G. D. Mann's, five miles
from the village, and on Saturday Mr..
w. went with his buggy for her, and
missed the road, arriving at Calhonn's
Mills before he was aware that he was
off the road.
Now is the time to set out shade, or
nonlental, and fruit trees. A little
money and labor in this direction is a
pleasure to O man all the days of his
life, and pleasure to his children when
he is mouidering in the ground.
MISS MAMIE PARTLow, of Ander-

THE PARTISAN DETECTIVE.
All Should Read This Highly Interest
ing Story.

Remember that we will commence
the publication Of an excellent serial
story in a week or two. We are only
waiting for a few more new names.
We want all to commence with the first
chapter. We publish stories which in
book form would cost more than the
subscription price of the Press and Bdn-
Yacr. The "Parisian Detective" will
run through some fifteen or sixteen pa.
pers' 1t is an elegantly written story,
and we'll worth anybody's reading.
Stories impart taste for reading, and
to some extent the readers acquire the
taste and refinement of the characters
delineated in the story. 1t is chaste
story, and we can recommend it to all
for the highly interesting matter con-
:tained therein.

Gen. Gordon on the Late Democratic
Defeat.


The Georgia Senator has recently been
interviewed in Charleston, and express.
es himself as still hopeful of success in
the Presidential contest next year. The
late defeat he attributes to the fact that
the Dem ocrats allowed the currency
question TO divert attention from the true
issue of Republican and mal-adminis.
,tration. On such an issue he thinks
that they will be victorious in 1876.
General Gordon urges that the South
should be represented at the Centennial,
as the best means Of promoting good
feeling between the sections.

Yesterday morning a difficulty occurred
at Columbia between John Bagly, OF that
place, and Andrew Corbett, baggage-mas-
ter on the Nashville and Decatur road. A
gentleman from MauTy's capital gives US
the following particulars concerning the
affair: When the train from Decatur ar
rived at Columbia, Bagly threw rock into
the baggage car that stIU.k CoIb9tt III u
lace. The words that followed resulted in
A reucOunter, but the cOmbatants were sep
arated before either was hurt 10 any extent.
Our informant says that COrbett then
turned to 60 in the ear, when Bagly picked
up an uDloaded gun lying on the platform,
and struck him over the head with it. The
hammer Of the weapon came in contact
with Corbett's head and inflicted an ugly,
but not serious wound. Mr.. Corbett re-
sides in this city, and e universally liked
for his quiet and gentlemaniy deTaeanOr.

The much-talked-of game Of base ball
/ between the StOneWalls and the "W, T..
Linck Club" came of at the Fair Grounds
Yesterday afternoon. A crowd Of several
hundred people went out to witness the
contest.
The Stonewalls, who have never been
beaten, beat the Lincks by a score Of IS 10
4 There are some first-c ass players in
the Linck Club, but the other is composed
of some Of the best players in the State,
and have never failed TO conquer their Op-
pOnents.
Mr.. Thomas HOugh acted as umpire, and
both clubs returned him a vote Of thanks
for his impartial decisions in all matters Of
dispute.
Last night Linck invited the members Of
both clubs to a grand supper at his hotel.
At 0 o'clock the boys put in On appearance
and they had high old time. An elegant
replst was set before them, and they did Il
full Justice. II would be a useless matter
to try 20 enUmerate al the gOld things
placed on the table, for everything was
there that any one would care to eat.
Champagne flowed abundantly, and the
choicest Habanas were scattered around in
profusion. Linck set before his guests a
collation. that would have reflected credit
on any host, and all who were lucky
enough to be in attendance will not soon
forget the evening"
W. G. Brien, Esq, whom The boys m
yi,cd to max them a little talk, responded
in his usually happy and fitting style. jas.
Robertson, Of the Stonewall Club, was pre-
scented with a champion belt, purchased by
Mr.. Linck a few days since. The two
clubs then, by unanimous vote, united
under the name of the "W. L. Linck Base
Ball Club and elected Linck an honorary
member. They challenge any club in the
State or out, for match game.
