As for heavy goods and general merchan-

prices and qualities are Intended to answer
every demand
In fruits. candies, and other delicacies to
please the taste or crafty the sight of loved
ones AbbeyiIle is fully loaded and every
store exhibits q fine stock.
In addition to all the luyuries and necessa-
res of life, and besides the demands of the
farm and the household. we have half doz-
en- bar rooms In which the rum suckers and
the whlskey guzzler may get their whis
kies, and in which inviting places they may
teach our BOYS to partakc of that which
makes the poor feel that they are rich and
which brings US "victorious over all the ills
of Uie"
For this last attraction we are indebted to
the members of q former Legislature who
may have thought we neededplaceS TO drink.
