This place certainly can't be called
Heaven, for there, there is neither mar
riage nor giving in marriage, whilst here
there are no less than eleven marriages
booked 70 the Fall and winter.
1t is suggested that a lamp at the cor
ner Of the Presbyterian church or in
the open space in front Of Mrs. Nor

fence to pedestrians at night. 1t would
give light to four streets. 3
Change has been exceedingly scarce
in Abbeville for some time. Can't some
of our enterprising merchants order n
few huddred dollars worth? 1t would
relieve the pressure very much.

The meeting was harmonious and

was had, nealy every delegate taking
part in the discussion. They spoke us
bne man, and each of the delegates
gave expression to the belief that the
townships along the line OF the road
from Greenwood to Enright would vii
lingtY vote a tax for it's construction.
Tho subject Of a charser was thor
oughly discussed and all agreed that Mr..
Blake's charter of. a road from Green
wood to Elbcrton, now on it's passage in
the General ASSEMBLY. would enable
the company to organize as soon as it
could become a law at the next sitting
of the Legislature. Some amendments
to that charter were deemed necessary.

would, when his bill for charter came
up IN its next reading IN the Legislature,
move to adopt the proposed charter as u
substitute for the one now on the culcn-
der.
:. Upon a conference and estimate Of
cost of grading it was determined to
ask for u levy Of one per cent. for three
years, which amount is deemed sufficient
to grade the road tlom Enrisht to Green
wood.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed as en- hodyins the views of the con-
ReSolred, That this conference is i'm
pressed by the importance of a Rail-
road line from Athens, Ga. through Ell
