Implicit Faith in AbbeviIle.

Messrs. P. Rosenberg & Co: have implicit
faith in the town Of Abbevillc. Some time
ago they bought three stores on the PUBLIC
Square, paying liberal price for them, n ,,M mma
sand dollars. Last Fall they bought an i'm
mense stock of goods before the failure IN the
their goods second in the ability OF the peo-
pie to buy all the goods which they had
brought on, If they only knew of their stock,
and the prices at which they could and would
sell them; third, believing that Judicions
expenditure of little money in printers ink
would carry the information to purchasers;
they put big advertisement in the Press ana
Banner. AS result, they brought buyers
from every section Of the county. who bought
car loads Of goods from the Messrs. I. Eosen-
berg & Co.
So we'll pleased were their customers that
this firm has laid in another immense stock,
which they propose to advertise next week.
and sell at prices so low that all who come
will be pleased.
The possibilities Of Abbeville are great, and
we hope to see among all OF our business men
the display Of that energy and business tact
which will Mt least bring to us the trade TO
which we are legitimately entitled TO.

An forevermore be blest.
But, I'll declar to goodness
I'm frustercated so,
Dat I'm oil mixed up and pcstered,
An don't know whar to go.
Fust, de Prlsperterian tells me
Not to kick up any row;
Ef de Lawd's agwine to save me,
He'll do 1t any how.
Hits no use fer me ter holler,
Hits no use fer me ter cry,
Fer when de ole ship Zion
Comes er sailin by:
Eff Use been predesternated,
An ef Use one of de eleck;
Dey'll reach way down an grab me.
Den hist me on de deck.
Dat when I gifts good started.
I'se to keep straight on de way;
For III never cross de ocean.
Ef starts new ebry day.
Den de Baptis next. dey gifts me,
An takes me ter de pool;
An dey say ter me, now Charity
Don't make yerself fool:
You satisfy yer conscience,
An be sure you do what's right:
You 60 into dat water chile,
Clean under-outer sight.
Den cum along an mune wild us,
An peace an comfort find;
But fought pom de Mefodis,
Fore made up all my mind.
Don de Mefodis, dey takes me
To de new bush arbor tent,
An dey puts me wild de moaners,
Fer 10 weep an to repent.
An dey tells me when Use happy,
Jes let 1t pop right out;
Not to be afeared Of any one,
But ter let right out an shout.
An den dey ups and tells me,
When does climb into grace;

Err I'll fall down from my place.
An some onem says dey wouldn't sin,
Not eben eff dey could;
An right smart onem says dey couldn't,
Not eben eff dey would.
But does de family washin
Fer a man dats sanctlfed;
An his wife makes all de fires,
An splits de wood beside.
So goes homo to my cabin,
An / falls down on my knees;
An raise my hands to heaven,
An asks de Master, please

Dat de load was took away;

When heerd soft voice say:
"Charity, poor old creetnr,
Don't you bodder yer old head,
Wild creeds, beliefs an doctrines
But jes look to me instead.
An dough yer sins be scarlit,
Anyer skin as black es coal;
Yer Saviour dat redeemed you,
Will surely save yer soul.

1t is an III wind that blows nobody any

advantage of the strike in the Bangor saw

for the mills and other manufactures, so

The English telephone companies conclu-
ded to form trust; and the English post
master general thereupon concluded to urge
Parliament to pass a law making the tele-
phone business a government monopoly.
No action has been taken by either party
yet; but here is an instance where the trust
has forced to the front measure of So
cialistc tendency. If the governme MT should
take the telephone business, might not the
people, when oppressed by the salt trust,
urge the government to take the salt bust
ness also? And where would it all end +?
The more the trust operates the more grave
questions it brings into view.

Even the newspapers of the wild and woody
west expect to participate in the millennium.
ms is the prophecy of St. Louis paper:
The big dailies will gradually drop the SEN
sational reporter with his CORY subjects and
MS epileptic style, and will substitute for
MIN the intelligent correspondent, trained to
know what the people want to read and how
tney want 1t written. Ten years hence it
VIII take mighty big crime to be worth A
column In daily paper" The papers of
some eastern cities, it is to be feared, do not
snare In these human expectations. They
rather expect to continue putting crime on
the pillory," as they call their full reports of
hangings, murders, etc. Our ancestors used
to make hangings public, but the results do
not seem to have been so salutary upon the
spectators as to warrant the continuance of
this custom of putting crime in the pillow"
Perhaps this change in public sentiment may
warrant the expectation of our st. Louis
friends that in the future the details of crime
may be left to the oblivion they deserve.

1t is stated that if our government refuses
to the Canadian Pacific railroad the bonding
privilege the Canadian government will re-
taiiate. Thus will be iuaugurated a policy
which can but be fruitful of disaster to both
countries Some of the big Wall street rail
road lines may profit by it, but the shippers
will inevitably suffer. The Wall street rail.
roads are combined to force the Canadian
roads out OF competition with the American
simply for the purpose of making money,
and the way they intend to make this money
is to put up freight rates. 1t is no doubt
rue as the Chicago Tribune has again and
again declared, that only the existence of
the Grand Trunk railroad has saved the West
from extortion by the American trunk lines.

That the Dominion authorities are in
clined to cultivate closer relations with the
4 United States is pretty conclusively proved
by the offer which Sir John Melon
aid is said to have made to our
government to remove the Dominion
duty on lumber, provided the United States
would do the same with the duties imposed
on this side of the line. OF course our gov
eminent has no power to remit duties with
out an act of Congress, so that the arrange
ment which Sir John suggests. even II de-
sirable. cannot be made before Congress
meets. But the offer shows better feeling
on the part of the Canadians and more con-
ciliatory spirit.
