sorrow, because "the exposure. The moral
of this story is: i've correctly. Don't write

Mr.. w. w. KEiAR, OF Long Cane. Is the
reader OF one paptfor every day In the week.
He takes the Presand Banner for one OF the
days. His childr' are fond of reading, and
as result, they nike fine progress at school,
and never iorgetln the vacation what they
have learned duri, school term.
Mr.. A. X. WAsoN, one OF Abbeville's
most progressive rmerS, has the largest and
most fiouriShing 'oking field OF wheat we
have seen this SSon. His intention is to
wire 1t in for lmmer pasture after the
grain has been cuoff, which Is step in the
right direction, uSood stock means success
in farming.
We see by our changes that company of
capitalists eXpect.o establish q town al the
point where the . {. Il \. road crosses the
savannah Valley 'ad in this county. A pub
lie sale OF lots Is tolke place about the last
OF this month. In new town should be eS-
tablished it woul6e great addition TO Alb.
beville county.
We hear that NJ A. w. Smith will erect
some houses for ret on that eligible site op-
posite the depot his is part of the estate
which he bought # song, because the seller
Kept his desire q cret from the public. AS
result Mr.. Sinh has fine building lois
which cost him ntt 10 nothing.
Mr.. HADDON wi have a splendid dwelling
In acomnandinpoSitlon on the lot recently
owned by Mrs. X. Perrin. The rear OF the
lot runs down TO !e lower part of the big
gulley. He wil.ave a fine pasture on the
low ground.
ENrERrRISING people are beginning TO
learn the value oadvcrtising the year round.
The persistencyt those who are not intimi-
dated by the or, of "dull times" but keep
their names evebefore the public, will sure
ly place them orthe right side in the end.
Mr.. +. NJ. BCLER, of Anderson, was in the
city yesterday. He was working for Calhoun
Falls. He firm believes that the proSpec-
tive town is bond TO he q great city, and we
feel quite sure would be, If he could Inspire
Others with on' half his own enthusiasm.
MIR. THoMAsT. CRoMER, OF White Hall, is
mover. He eeps close eye on his busi-
ness, and watres the expenses. AS result,
he Is getting cad in the world, and will be
rich man be)re the old Reaper should call
for him.
THE edltorG the Press and Banner will
likely attend he meeting of the Press Asso-
ciation whic takes place in Georgetown
about the 9Th. Editors Huyt and Crews
Will read paprs pertaining to journalism.
EVERY edi3r more or less fears the possi-
BILE loss OF hi subscription list BY fire or 9TH
erwlse, but We presume the Press and Ban
present, us Zach subscriber was furnished
with a complstt list last week
TIE Curltail fridge is being rebuilt by Mr..
Aull, and 1t seems TO us that he is about TO do
Il good job. ButCurtail seems Il hard stream
To bridge. II tbs one goes of In the next
1reshet, we wcul, suggest that good ford be
made.
lr Is quite Likely that some building lots
may change hands as soon as the prices can
be agreed on. The present boom has had on e
good thing aboutit-i enables those who real
ly wished to sell, TO dispose of their lots.
FROM the first Of last July to the thirty
first of December, the Press and Banner
burnt 2l4 gallons Of kc-oScne oil, or a fraction
less han an average o. &c gallons month.
THE weather vane, IN he shape OF chick
en- rooster, which stands on top o r the carriage
shop at Abbeville, turns it's tan TO the wind,
contrary TO the custom Of the average
rooster.
