ABBEvILLE's NEED.
4 Stirring Appeal for More Energy
and Greater Activity In Building
the Town.

The great and pressing need of our town at
tins time is a progressive, liberal bust sinesS
council. We candidly say, without the least
desire to censure, and certainly Without ques-
tioning the sincerity OF the councils we nave
had for several years, that they have done
little for the up-bullding and enterprise OF the
town. At this particular time, when the
knife is ON the business nerve OF the place anu
the iron is hot and ready for the hummer, we
believe it is of the highest Importance that
our people should rise to the ocrusion and de-
mand with that earnestness born OF despair
and hope that will take no denial, that our
most liberal and public spirited men should
sacrifice themselves, II necessary, and assume
the burdens OF the town government we
need men who are not afraid 70 spend Il Httle
money, If it be for the good of the town. Onr
people will support council that Will take
the reins in their hands and move forward.
Upon the completion of the railroad to this
place the necessity Tor much improvement
illiberal views If we are TO reap all the ad-
vanlages which the road will Insure. Year
after year we have carried over hnndreos OF
dollars and yet needed improvements are not
attempted. Why keep money IN the treas,
ury? If 1t is not to be expended 1t should
not he collected. We donot collect too much.
however, and we do not hesitate to say, that
ceuse tax, the property OF the town should
be taxed propOrtionately and equitably In or.
der that Il good council may not be hampered
in any attempts to improve the place.
Many improvements will suggest them
selves to men of ability and energy. We
need Il market house. where all meats, &c,
should be required to be sold. This would
insure n better market and he advantageous
TO The sellers. We need Il splcndidy macad-
.tnized street from the square 10 the depot,
even at the cost of a good deal Of money.
we need an office, which could be in the mar
kct house. for the regular and orderly :meet-
lngs of the council. We need q wagon yard,
near the square, where all vehicles and stock
could be driven, with large sheds; this would
protect the stock and remove from our beau.
iiful square much that detracts from its neat
ness. We should have less plddling on the
streets, with several hands and a mule and
cart whose work does not seem TO come up
TO the money eXpended;-and many other
Things too Numerous to mention do we need,
In word, we want good strong hand
upon the municipal reins of our town which
Will drive right ahead with enterprise and
Judgment. Give A. w. Smith a set OF good
wardens and the town will shake off the leth-
arpy of the past and put on life and activity.

What a Pretty Little Lady Writes
About.

AUGUSTA, GA, Aug. 30, 1890
Augusta is no longer reckoned rs one of the
sleepy cities OF the South, but is one OF the
most progressive In the country.
Col. Dyer, president OF the electric railway
has completed about fifteen miles of the road
in the last few months. The people of Angus

Sweet potatoes were never better. and the

THE MEN WHO STAY.-Young me-
chanics make very egregious mis-
take, says the B1iLder'S Gazette, when
they begin to think that they do too
much for their employers when they
work a few moments overtime to COM
plete small task they are performing,
lust at the time the whistle blows to
quit work. More young men have
been kept from receiving an advance
in their wages from this than from
any other known cause
Employers watch the movements of
young men very closely, and the least
little thing oftentimes places them in
an unfavorable light before their en-
ployers. 1t is the young man who
studies the interests of his employer,
and is not afraid to give him few mo-
ments, that gets the rapid advance
ment. He is the young man selected
when there are any favors to be grant
ed.
can tell in twenty minutes in any
workshop the young man who is most
likely to succeed in his trade. He is
the last to leave his work, and is al
ways prompt in beginning it.. These
fellows that drop their work at the
moment the whistle blows. are always
the ones that the employer is ready to
disck arge when business gets little
slack.
The young man who takes the inter-
est of his work at heart, and his en-
ployer into consideration, is very rare
ly laid off in slack times.

Good Society.

Good society is that where mother
knows that her daughter or son Is safe.
Good socie,y is that where toadyism
is frowned down upon, and scandal
mongers are not admitted.
Good society is that where one earns
her title of gentlewoman not only by
birth, but by good manners.
Good society is that where to under
stand Greek is of less Importance than
to understand courtesy in all its laws.
Good society is that where the art of
welcoming the coming and speeding
the parting guest is graciously prac-
ticed.
Good society is that where men are
respectful, where off color stories are
not told, and where the women do not
! offer cigarettes.
Good society is that where women
are not hastily judged, but once they
| are believed to be untruthful, deceitful
and ill-bred they are ostracised.
Good society is that which is not
personal in its talk, but which finds
,utiicient topic of interest to discuss
without dilating on the sins of neigh
bors.
Good society IS that Whlcn, Wnlle IL
recognizes the value of all the conyen
tional rules, is yet sufficiently strong to
be guided occasionally by hearts, and
not of necessity to follow q leader as
sheep do.
Good society is that which is formed
when two or three are met together in
pleasant converse. You can if you
will, though yours be only a room in 8
boarding house, make the best society
in the world there.
Good society is that which can give
a dinner without sending q notice of II
to the newspapers; can introduce 6
daughter without having her frocks
made the subject of a paragraph, anC
who believes that the family and it,
happiness is of more Importance thar
the booming of a beauty or being
counted among the Four Hundred.

Mrs. J. H. Peak. OF Mccormick, notifies us

request that we publish notice Of the same.
Her own words in telling US Of her sorrow,
which we reproduce here, are u better eX-

know how truly and how deeply, this sOr-
sowing mother mourns for the child which
was dearer TO her than life itself She says:
the painful duty of giving our precious little
darling and only child to Jesus. Lite Nellie,
our blue eyed baby, our beautiful angel, has
been transplantcd to n fairer cline.
She, our baby Nellie, was nine months and
twenty-five days old, and 1t was, oh, so hard,
TO give her up, even TO Jesus but God, who
doeth all things we'll. aud who makes no
mistakes, has comfortcd my heart, and bow
in meek submission to bis will, knowing
that he does all for the best.

executed on Friday next. His counsel, Wal

appeal we notice an exception based upon
the fact that his Honor, in charging the jury
as to the several forms in which they might
find Il verdict. failed to mention the very I'm

Another ground of appeal Is aS follows /:
because his Honor in charging the Jury that

guilty guilty under the second count and
guilty OF an assault and battery of a high
and aggravated nature No reference being
made TO fourth and additional form of mot

HILL CLIMBING.-"I saw two girls
with their escorts walking up Corey
Hill, yesterday" says an observer of
girls. zone of them went up like a
rubber ball, bouncing and bounding at
every step, chattering briskly to her
com panion as she went and stopping
now and then to pant little and take
Il fresh start both with her bounding
way of walking and with her chatter.
Presently her friend came quietly
along. She was letting the young
man beside her do the talking, and she
was mounting the long hill with
short, inelastic steps. She used her
heels as well as her toes in going up
hill" 1t is good rule for hill-climb-
ing and one to be remembered in 60
ing upstairs. Women doctors say,
and many women prove it in practice,
that by going upstairs slowly, with
the foot-heel and toe alike-put firm
ly Oh each stair, one may arrive at the
top of four flights of stairs really rest
ed, instead of gasping for breath as
when one runs upstairs. Going up
stairs is good form of exercise if one
goes the right way to get its benefits.

Can You Answer This

OWH HVU HHH"eE HHf"
A riddle full Of truth
To puzzle vain and giddy youth,
Yet those who know the scriptures well,
Can easily this riddle tell.
Beneath the heavens creature once did dwell
AS the sacred writer's unto US do tell
He lived and moved in this lower world 1t is
true,
But sin never knew.
He never shall In heavens kingdom dwell,
Nor doomed to suffer pains in hell,
Yet In him was an Immortal soul,
Which must be doomed to hell
Or live among the just.
