The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1875-10-06

published an ordinance against allOWin
hogs to run at large in the streets. TIL
head of the editor of the Neaus is exact
ly level when he says: "If the councj
will pass dog law" the member
thereof will immortaliZe themselves
They are q dangerous nuisance, am
people who will cultivate the luxury o
a dog, should keep them at home, wher
they can't snap at other folks "calres.
MIR. w. G.. VERELL was in town OF
Saleday. He has sold his model farm
near Greenwood to Mr. $. b. Hodges
and we regret to learn that he intends
to leave the County. He expects to e
to Easley Station on the Airline kall
road, where we wish him the abundan
success he SO much deserves. Mr.. Yer
ell is q prosperous farmer, ana ne at
tributes his prosperity to the fact tha
he sows oats. This year he made sever
bales of cotton with one horse--tht
most of which is clear profit.
TIE FIRST DIVORCES. - Richard I:
Watts, Esq, one OF our young anc
promising Lawyers, applied FOR anu oo'
tanned the irst divorce, we believe, ever
procured in the county.-LttuchSp
WcrdM.
aesy~ We are surprised at Mr.. Watts
course in the matter. We have afWays
thought he was in favor of the forming
of such alliances, rather than the break
ing up of those blissful relations which
are said TO be bound with silken cords.
A suit has been entered by W. +.
Earle Esq, editor of the RcpubHcon.
against Mcssrs. John {. and Edward
Baily, proprietors of the Enterprise ana
.Nounldinccr, for $4,000 damages, for
libel, in publishing all article defamato-
ry to his character,
THE Union-Hcrald is responsible for
the following: "Children," said su-
perintendento of a Sumter street Sunday
school last Sunday, "thc church is the
flock, and the members are the sheep;
you are the lambs. Now, what IS Dr;
b, our pastor?" Hes the old
ramp yelled All urchin, confident that
he had answered right that time.
A New PAPER. .-Messrs. J. c. & +.
Bailey propose at an early day, to esta-
blish newspaper in the city of Green
Vile, devoted to the cause Of temper
ance, and rs a family journal, called
the Temperance OJscracr. 1t will be III
size 24X&6 inches, and the subscription
price $500 per annum. We wish our
friends success in this new enterprise.
THE 14Mens Georgian came out rs q
daily on the SOth ult. The paper is well
conducted, and we wish it success.
Athens is the fourth city in Georgia,
and has Il population of seven thousand,
and we think should support daily:
The georgian is large paper, well filled
with interesting matter.
LOAFERs who expect te sit on the lit
tie keg in front of Mcssrs. Parker "
Perrin's store should turn the bottom
end up before sitting down. This sug-
gestion is made for the benefit of the
loafers, not that it makes any difference
to McsSrs. Z. Il 7.
Nix. WELLS, of the CoiaunJia Rcgis-
ter, was in our office on "Wednesday
last. We regret not seeing him, as we
like to meet man like Wells. His pa
per is Democratic, and strikes squarely
from the shoulders. We learn that he
did well here.
TIE planters of this County are COM
ing forward with commendable prompt
hess and making payments TO the mer-
chants on their advances. If they Will
SOW oats now they can keep their cotton
money next year, as it will all profit.
Sow fifty bushels Of oats now, and reap
five hundred or thousand next Spring.
RELIGIOUS MEETING AT WILLING
TON.-Rev. DR.. Plumncr, of Columbia,
came up on Saturdays train to take his
part in the religious meeting which
commenced at Wilmington church on
Friday last. The Rcvs. JAS. a. Lowry
and Il. &. Lyon, and the pastor, Rev.
\. l.. Miller, have been bearing a part
in the services, which have been of q
very interesting character.
TIE Gl'ccnrMe Nc,0s says: "The man
who undertakes to- run an independent,
fearless newspaper, must be Il brave
man." %i~
Speights ought to know whereof he
speaks. He has as much experience III
the business rs any man we know of.
\ WRITER in the last Southern CuHi-
s'otOr contributes strong article
against the present immoderate and in
judicious use of guano. ~ little, judi
ciously applied with plenty of vegetable
he thinks, would be beucficial, ,
but protests against the present ruinous
abuse of the article.
\ FRIEND INDEED.-Mr. w. G. Yer
ell left the proceeds of bale of cotton
at the Press dnd Banner office on Sale
Day, paying subscription for himself
and others, adding new names to oul
list.
WE learn that Newberry is in good
condition financially. The purchase OF
guano has been nearly abandoned, and
not more than two hundred agricultural
liens have been recorded. In Abbeville
there are fifteen hundred or more liens.
TIE SOUTHERN CULTIvAToR for DC.
tober has been received. 1t is a good
number, and we'll sustains the rcputa'
ton of one Of the best of the Southern
agricultural journals.
MIR. A. l.. MCCAsLAN is getting
ready for the elections hy sowing large
ly of red oats. He will sow one hun
drcd and fifty bushels-thrce times as
much as he ever sowed before.
EVERY paper received at this office is
urging the farmers to SOW oats. 1t is
regarded as suicidal to neglect this i'm
portant crop now when cotton is so low
and corn is so high.
TIE Camden Journal says: "Let
every planter first make sure Of a sup
ply of corn, wheat, oats, &c, and then
it will pay him to raise all the cotton he
cam That EDITORS head is level.
TIE last number of the Grccnwooo
Nctr Era has well written article on
the necessity of raising our own sup
plies, which we would be glad TO repro
duce if we had the room.
WE trust to see more grain sowcd il
every neighborhood. Any farmer who
ncglccts to SOW oats had better quit the
business of planting.
