Isham GORREE, July 15, 1846 --------- ABBEVILLE SHERIFF'S SALE By virtue of sundry Writs of Fieri Facias to me directed, the following will be sold at the Abbeville Court house on the first Monday in August next, the following property: 80 acres of land, more or less, levied on as the property of W.W. ANDERSON and Wm. ADDISON, bearer. 6 negroes, Matilda and five children, levied on as the property of Jas. M. VANDIVER and D.L. ADAMS and others. J. Ramey, Sheriff July 14, 1846 --------- NEWSPAPER Issue of JULY 22, 1846 OBITUARIES Died, from fever, on the 12th ult. in her 26th year, Amanda, wife of Hamilton T. MILLER, after a short illness of four days. A hearty response will be readily given by all intimate with the deceased, that she was a devoted wife, a kind and affectionate mother, and an exemplary Christian. Removed in the bloom of life, in the bright anticipations of future prospects, from a circle of numerous friends to an early tomb, a lasting impression will remain of her winning deportment, her amiable and gentle disposition. -------- Died, at his residence in this district on the 4th inst. in the 74th year of his age, Maj. John CHILES. This excellent man has left the example of a well spent life, worthy of all imitation. A Sheriff of the District, and as a member of the Legislature, he filled public offices with such meekness, fidelity and integrity, as requitted the favor of his fellow citizens which bestowed it. But it was at home in the discharge of his social and domestic duties that his unpretending usefulness was most felt and will long be missed. Kind, sincere and pure, with a clear understanding and a temper imperturbable, he pursued the right in a most gentle manner, but at the same time, gave evidence not to be mistaken of a firmness which no influence could sway to the wrong. Equality removed from party asperity and from apathy to public affairs, he was earnest and active in all his duties as a citizen, but so tolerant and forgiving that his ardent love of his country and independent maintenance of his own opinions, begot no personal strife with those who differed with him. For more than thirty years he was a deacon in the Baptist church and humbly labored to make his conduct suitable to his professions. As Christian, citizen, neighbor, friend, master, brother, father, husband, he was virtuously eminent and in a degree far beyond what the unassuming simplicity of his deportment might suggest to those who did not know him intimately. WIth his good constitution and temperate habits he enjoyed full health uninterrupted til near the end. By a second marriage he left five young children, some too young to have profited by his lessons, or even to have personal remembrance of him; but his good works will remain to bear testimony of his worth, while it must be a consolation to his widow and elder children to treasure in their memories. ---------- Died, on Saturday the 10th inst. near Abbeville, Mary Jane, daughter of John and Margarette WIER, in the 21st year of her age. She had but recently attached herself to the Presbyterian Church, Upper Long Cane. In her death, she was cut down in the morning of life. This afflicting thought brings sadness and melancholy home to the hearts of the many who loved her, and who will never more on earth behold her cheerful face, nor hear again her welcome voice. The Church mingles her grief with this afflicted and bereaved family who by this dispensation, have had another sorrow added to their cup of bitter water, called before to drink in the death of another beloved daughter. Shortly before her death when she was about to pass over to Jordan, she said to her father that she had once thought that fears and tears would both harrass her when she came to die; but not now, not so, she was not afraid to die. No doubt, that then she leaned on Jesus for repose and found it. O, her parents have hope and a good hope in her death, carrying to their bosoms the sweetness of sanctified religion. "There is no sweetness like it." "One family, we dwell in Him, One church above, beneath; though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death." ---------- At a meeting of Clinton Lodge, Abbeville district of Ancient Free Masons of the State of South Carolina, held at Masonic Hall on Saturday the 11th inst., the following Resolution was unanimously adopted and ordered to be published in The Banner: Resolved, that the thanks of the brethren of Clinton Lodge be tendered to Mr. Amity BAILEY, for his handsome gift of a Masonic Symbolic Chart and a Silver mounted Sword; presented to the Lodge through his son, our worthy brother, E.S. BAILEY. W. Hill, Sec. pro tem. July 22, 1846 --------- SALE Will be sold on Friday the 14th of August next, at Greenwood, the following property belonging to Thos. L.

CHANDLER, July 22, 1846 -------- NEWSPAPER Issue of AUGUST 12, 1846 OBITUARY Died, on Monday the 27th of July last, at her residence near Waterloo, Laurens District, Mrs. Mary FINLEY, relict of Paul FINLEY, dec'd, in the 89th year of her age. --------- VALUABLE LAND FOR SALE The subscriber offers his tract of Land for sale, three miles west of Abbeville courthouse, on the waters of Calhoun's Creek.

RAMEY, Aug. 12,1846 -------- NEWSPAPER Issue of AUGUST 19, 1846 A poor unfortunate young man, apparently idiotic, yesterday was wandering about our streets in a very helpless situation. He calls himself Reuben WHITE and says he is from Pickens. We make these remarks with the hope that they may meet the eye of his friends who should promptly attend to him. -------- OBITUARY Died, of a congestive chill on Monday the 10th inst., Maj. Archibald ARNOLD, in the 51st year of his age. Death is abroad in the land. Not a day rolls by but it burdens our records with narratives of tribulation and grief. None can foretell what a day or an hour may bring forth. Today we mingle with our friends and relatives in all the sweets of life's enjoyment, unmindful, that tomorrow may call us to pay the last debt of regard in following the once cheerful and gay, now in breathless sleep, with sorrow, to the tomb. But a few days since, Major Arnold lived in the full enjoyment of earthly happiness. His cheerful manner and kind disposition were a rich boon to all who enjoyed his companionship. As a benefactor, he was liberal to the full extent of his means. The weary or distressed were never turned from his door uncomforted. The coverture of his house was alike welcome to the stranger guest and intimate friend. In him, many will mourn the loss of an esteemed relative, many more, the loss of a friend, and all, the loss of a useful citizen. As a husband, none but a faithful and devoted wife, but now a bereaved widow, can appreciate the loss. As a parent, an excess of kindness was perhaps his greatest fault; three children are left to feel its want. Fifty- one years have marked the period of his earthly pilgrimage. Thus long has he been spared to the enjoyment of his friends and family. For many years he has lived a member and enjoyed the Christian privileges of the M.E. Church. He maintained a life, even in advanced age, for activity and business, which the young and vigorous might be proud to imitate, ever manifesting the greatest concern for the welfare of his household. But death has snatched him from earthly care. Alas, he sinks beneath the stroke of time. That familiar face has ceased to smile; that cheerful voice no longer animates the pratling babe or solaces the wife of its bosom. May Heaven sustain the family under this sad affliction. Heaven, husband the widow and father the orphans. Peace to thee, O shade of the departed! Rest, for the race is run, rest, for the strife is over. Tomorrow's sun may light again the busy theatre of life; but thou shall toil no more. God bless the living and the dead. ----------- LAND FOR SALE I will sell to the highest bidder at Abbeville courthouse on Sale Day in October next, the tract of Land on which I now reside. It lies 16 miles west of the courthouse within two miles of the Savannah River, and contains 385 1/2 acres, 200 in cultivation and the balance in well timbered woodland. E.P. NOBLE, Aug. 19, 1846 -------- PROCLAMATION OF THE GOVERNOR Executive Office, Charleston, S.C.
