WE said In these columns last weeks that
Hon. w. II. Parker had sold one hundred
bushels Of seed corn. We made the state
ment as we understood one OF his friends TO
make 1t to us. Since then we learn from MIR.
Parker himself that the estimate was too
high, and that the amount which he sold was
perhaps not more than about thirty bushels.
At any rate, the amount which was sold was
of but little interest. 1t was the fact that a
town farmer had sold any corn at all, which
we thought worthy OF note; If every farmer
enough corn for his own use, with little TO
spare to neighborS, who might be unlucky, the
prosperity of the county would be assured.
The Greenwood Female College is a most
excellent !nstitution-one which. would @ re-
feet credit on any faculty Of teachers. The
standards are high, and the popu arity and
success of the College, make that institution
a most important factor in the education OF
the young ladieS,of Abbeville county. Green-
wood is justly proud Of so fine an institution,
and the people everywhere accord the college
the highest praise for its excellent methods
as we'll as for its noted success in teaching
the arts and the sciences.
