OF IDLE talk about the necessity Of bringing

, country. What is really needed is, men and
muscle-energy and business tact Let no
man SUPPOSE that the railroad will put dol
lar directly into his pocket. Each man will
have to scramble then or now for the dollars
ON his own account Even In the city or At
lanta, with all her railroads, there are few
moor people, and there arc still others who
fad that they have to work for all the money
which they get We have this from reliable
sources, and do not doubt word of 1t.
- Let no man then suppose that the time for
hard work will be passed, as soon as the cars
arrive on the new line We will still have to
work as before. Don't forget that individual
prosperity comes from effort and hxedness OF
purpose In the same way town Is built up
by the united and earnest work Of all her
people.
The possibilities of Abbeville are limited
only by the effort which we make to devel'
ope the place. In one sense the merchants
make the trade OF the town. In like manner
our banking facilities are an important fac

The manufactures and "small industries

We have the best water, the best clay, and
the best old field pines for making brick. We
have an unlimited amount Of unutilized Ia
bor. Put all these things together and we
could supply the world with the best brick
that was ever used In building.
We have plenty Of skilled mechanics, and
we have the greatest quantity of the best
qualities and varieties of timbers for making
handles, spokes and hubs. Why are we moi
at the business?
We have plenty Of room, plenty Of cotton
and plenty Of money. Why have we not

Our oil mill Is going up, and will forever In

has become about as valuable as our corn.
We need more business men in Abbeville
and sagacious men will find out that this is q
good place to set mp stores and to open shops
When strangers come here and 60 into the
neglected lines of business we will learn ol
plenty OF our own citizens who intended to
do the same thing, but who sit idly by until
the golden harvest will turn into other hands
and other pockets.
