A Sewsy Letter from 1owndesvil1o.

The new year greets the social world
among the Seven Hills with smile and
an assurance far excelling the encourage
ment it extends to business. The streets
of our beautiful village are as free from the
noise of wagon and cats hauling in their
produce and purchasing their supplies as
was ever known before at this season OF
the year. This dormant condition of trade
we hope soon to see broken, and bright
and lively turning over of new leaves for
happy and peaceful year to follow. This
somewhat discouraging status of financial
affairs, however, has not caused our ener-
getic merchants to cease their preparation
for large and extensive trade.
DR.. J. B. Franks has sold his stock of
drugs to DR.. B. A. Henry and Mr. R. ].
Hutchison, who will continue business in
the same building, and no doubt make it
equally as much successful enterprise as
their predecessor. Mr.. Hutchison is a
young man of promising business, and
carries with it an air of pleasing manners
and social disposition that renders him
quite popular among his many friends in
this town and vicinity. Dr.. Henry, gift
ed Georgian, is the coming physician of
our community, and, like his co-partner,
has many friends who are ever glad to hear
of his success.
Mr.. e. W. Harper, formerly of East
End, is now of the firm of Harper q Lat
inner, where he hopes to do 1ourishing
business with his co.partner,' Mr. a. L.
Latimer, of West End.
Mr. j. B. Franks returned from busi-
ness trip to Charleston last Friday. AS
president of the Lowndesville Banking
Company he is kept hustling.
MI. j. E. CASTOR, through his energy
and determination, has at last succeeded in
permanently organizing a ''string band" in
our town. He has consulted Mr.. @. a.
Reed, of Anderson, in regard to the price
of instruments, and will no doubt be able
to furnish some good music very soon.
James A. McCallister, q rising Nationite,
has made this his headquarters for deliver
ing his books and writing his bellies letters.
Tho pen this young gentleman and friend
of ours wields is simply surprising. His
there is no doubt, if he does not appear in
some periodical too soon, but that he will
make name for himself. This writer
wisncs for his friend all the success imagi-
nable.
Mrs. T. Baker and Mrs. J. B. Franks
left last Monday to visit Augusta during
the Carnival.
Mr. J. M. Baker is now at Abbeyille at.
tending Court.
Mr.. B. l.. Barnes has sold his property
here to DR.. James B. Moseley, and will
leave in few days for Tennessee, where he
expects TO settle. His many friends regret
yery much to see him go from their midst.
Mr., J. T. Latimer has finished a very
neat store.room, and will in a few days be
prepared to serve his trade.
James Burdette deserted his family DUR
ing the holidays and all attempts thus far
have been in vain to ascertain his destina.
ton. He is contractor and builder by
profession.
The many friends of Aijutant-General
NJ, L. Bonham are panied to know his sad
misfortune. He was acknowledged as one
of Abbevile's most promising young men
and now that he is wounded, as it were,
in the prime of his career, comes to the
ears of his loved ones with feeling of
more than regret. We cannot believe that
the once high and honorable Bonham, Ad.
iutant. General of the State of South Caro-
lima has taken deliberate step to eyerlast.
ingly blot and ruin his fair name, and
abuse that trust placed to his honor By true
and sincere friends. We cannot believe this
short-coming was premediteted, and tho
fallen in esteem and confidence throughout
the length and breadth of his country, be
should yet receive to his credit from public
opinion the fact that public men as well as
others in different life are not .infallible.
Mistakes are not dishonorable unless inten.
