ABBEyILLE'S ATTRACTION.
Draw Female Beauty and LONELINESS
to the Town.

There are three attractions in Abbevilie, we
can boast Of MessrS. Il. NJ. Haddon ana w. f.
Bcll's store, and Mr. j. F. &. DuPre'S Lot mousse
No town in our state keeps more beautiful
and better supply of goods than Messrs
Haddon and Bell. 1t is here the old lady,
Young lady Misses. and children can be suited
IN handsome or medium q9ality VI al soous sSm!s
None of our young ladies.in town or country
should think Of sending away 1or brldal
trousseau every article needed Is KEPT IN tnat
line. handsome white silks and satins with
the orange wreath and veil. trimmings 10
match every shade Of goods, hats and bonnets
to suit each dress, and most opllglng uress-
makers to make them up In latest style; just
read the long list of different materials In
their advertisements the most fastidious taste
can certainly be pleased. Long ago Mr. Fow-
Ter opened the emporium OF fashion In Abbe-
tile which is yet kept up and always Wlll DC
Bell and Haddon. But to do SO our people
support them, not send off TO New York, Balti-
more and other places 1or gooas KEPT mere,
patronizing home enterprise Is the only way
TO make fiourishing town: NO where can
cheaper goods be found. A lady from Green
Vile bought O hat here two dollars cheaper
than in that city young Iaay ip9ia ooihin, thn
there. ssTheSel are facts about our stores; II
YOU don't believe what l have written come
and see, you will not be disappointed. Per-
sons living at distance VIII always aaS naas
10. The ladies in each store have exquisite taste
and can be depended on. Judging from the
number CT boxes daily sent to the depot no
doubt many ladies have found out this reli-
able way Of shopping If you cannot buy these
merchants are always glad TO show you their
pretty goods.
Now Tor Mr.. DuPre's hot-house, as we enter
the door we exclaim Oh: what loveliness
such beautiful flowers. Sweetest fragrance
they are f1inging on the soft spring air! we
are transplanted toa fairy den. Labor, per
scverence, skill and expense has accomplish
cd all this No one deserves more credit for
bcautifying our town than MIR. DuPre by es-
tablishing this large hothouse and Inducing
Others to cultivate them in small pits. 1t is
certainly great attraction to visitors every
day we notice crowds going in that direction:
Like our stores and: other trades we must
patronize home. Why send to Nicks and
other places for flowers when here at your
own door you get potted plants OF endless
varieties for so little Mr.. DuPre's prices are
reasonable and we are glad to say he has been
successful in selling his plants here, and has
shipped many to other places. We hope each
wear he will be able to add more and more TO
his present arrangement until Secession Hill
will be the noted garden or South Carolina.
There is no present with more sentiment or
in better taste for young man TO send
Young lady than lovely bouquet Of flowers.
This you can always get from Mr.. DuPre, or
his oblging daughter Miss Mary.

Washington Notes.
Dear NeiohbOr:

Dear Neighbor:
To the visitor just landing at Mt.
Vernon wharf the place presents a
pleasing scene, even were it not an OBJ
iect of so much interest by having
been the home of Washington. It Is
situated in a pretty grove on a high
bank of the river, fifteen miles below
this city. 1t would be very easy to
recognize the place by the many pic
lures which every one has seen. The
place is owned by the Mt. Vernon AS
ISOLATION, each State of the Associa-
ton being in charge of room. South
Carolina has the dining-room, which
opens into the main hallway, and it
will compare favorably with any room
in the house. BY the side of the din
ing room is the sitting room, in charge
of Georgia, and in the hall between
the two hangs the key of the old Bas-
tile, it having been presented to Wash
ington.
Much of the household goods has
been restored. Some things worthy of
mention are the bed on which Wash
ington died, and the room which La
Fayette occupied during his visit, and
which still has in it most of the origi-
nal furniture.
The flower garden in the rear Of the
house was laid off under the personal
supervision of Washington. The
hedges are of lockwood which Is said
to have been planted in 1742, and is
now of enormous size, though of very
slow growth and being closely trim
med. Flowers of all kinds are for sale
at reasonable prices, and considerable
revenue Is derived from this source for
the maintenance of the place.
Some human pigmies have desecrat-
ed this grand old place by writing
their names wherever they could find
a place, and it is only by close watch
that acts of vandalism are prevented.
The Association has provided for this
by offering flowers for sale, and peb-
bles. Pieces of wood are given to visi-
tors, as nearly every one who visits the
place wishes to carry home some re-
membrance.
The tomb of Washington is only a
short distance from the house, and Is
built by the terms in Washington's
will. 1t is of plain brick. The re-
mains of the immortal Washington
are covered by a marble slab, and by
his side is his wife. Other members of
the family and relatives are buried
there.
A great many trees still stand which
are said to have been planted by
Washington himself, and one of our
party wished to see the cherry tree
which was so badly hacked up, but
that was one thing not to be found.
A whole day could be spent quite
pleasantly there where you may
lounge on the grass as much as you
please without being kept off by these
signs which nearly hide every grass
plot in this city, "Keep off the grass"
There is much there of interest, but
after few hours steamer whistle
makes you aware of the fact that your
visit is at an end-and so Is this letter.
WASHINGTON, April l. B.

For THE FLORIDA AearouLruR1sr.
Grating Grape Vines.

Certainly the remarks of yours in the
editorial, ''Many Men of Many
Minds," is a great truth. | see
an example of it in the same number of
the FLORIDA AGRICULTURlsT, of June 26th.
Mr.. c.. S. Walters is of the opinion that
grapes can be better propagated by lay
ers, and gives the way to do it with the
most certainty. | am of the same opin-
ion.
Mr.. S. w Chambers in his article on
grape grating, says that he does not ap-
prove of layering and thinks it exhaust
ing, but unfortunately he does not give
the reasons why he thinks so.
My opinion is that if have one dollar
in my purse and expend it on a necessity,
| should not regret to have it out of my
possession. Same is the situation with
grapes or anything else. If the lavering
exhausts the stock but gives ME two or
three new plants, must find that have
derived some benefit by the transaction
and be satisfied.
Now, the motive of this letter is togive
to your readers way of grating grapes
which have employed for the family of
the BulIaces (Scuppernong), as it is diff
cult to graft them, for in cutting thest
it very o'ten bleeds to DEATH And having
very small grape seedlings of the Vinifera
to graft, | have employed the same plan,
as it was difficult to split the stock; and
even on big stock the method of Mr.
Chambers is troublesome, as the cut of the
twig has to be made in a bias manner, SO i:
