The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1879-07-12

THE FARMER.-It does ones
heart good to see a merry, round.
faced farmer. So independent.
yet so free from yanities and pride.
So rich, and yet so Industrious;
SO patient and persevering in his
calling, and yet SO kind. social,
and obliging. There are a thous.
and noble traits about him which
light up his character. He is
generally h%ospitable eat and
drink with him, and he wont set
a mark on you, and sweat it out
Of you with a double compound
interest at another time-you are
welcome. He will do you a kind
ness without expecting a return
by way of compensation it is
not SO with everybody. He is
generally more honest and sincere
less disposed to deal in a low
and underhand cunning, than
many | could name. He gives to
society its best support--he is the
ediice Of government and the
lord Of nature. Look at him in
homespun blue, gentlemen ; laugh,
if you will-but believe me, he
can laugh back if he pleases.

Gently, and boasts of the musical
taste exhibited by its town
people. Abbeville is not wholly
insensible to the refining inhaen-
ces of music and sometimes on
these fine balmy mornings when
the four or five pianos within a
stones throw of our Office are put in
operation and the ravishing notes
of Norma, Pinafore, Robert LIE
Diable, Lucretia Borgia and ies
Hugenots, are waited to our. ears

we can not help feeling like we
were in a different locality !; but
when in the still hours of these
short, soft summer nights we are
reused irom-our slumbers by the
harsh d%iscordant "toot, toot,-ah
toot,-toot" of some new member
of the Brass Band who is practic-
ing on his horn, we feel other
wise. In fact We feel like wish
ing he would be suddenly para
lyzed, struck by a cyclone, or
his supply of wind cut off. We
are a warm friend Of the Brass
Band but It's against our religion

of these Internal midnight solos,
which some Of the members persist
in s~ubjecting a sleepy community
to, every night.

STARTING lN.-Mr u II Hume is
preparing to commence work in earnest
at his fishery, at the mouth of Cham
bers Creek. near S,eilacoom. He is
building boats. charging bis fish
house and making ether necessary ar
engagements. He will employ from
twelve TO fourteen men. and expects to
be able to put up several thousand bar.
rels Of silver salmon. Mr. Hume puts
up nothing but good fsh. and his brand
IS consequently becoming very popular.
The run Of salmon in the Sound has
just commenced. aud it Is thought
about the middle of the month will be
booming. Mr. Hume has followed fish
ing almost 81 his life. on the Atlantic
coast. and ii is his opinion that unless
our fish aud fisheries are afforded Leg
islativeprotection. in the shape Of Fish
Inspector. and other matters. the indus
try will soon be ruined. Unscrupu-
ious men in tho business BY sending of
poor fish, are giving the products Of
the Sound very bad reputation.
