Patient Motherhood.

The training of children, either girls
or BOYS should be commenced at that
moment when the mother can see In
them the first CLEAN Of the knowledge
of right and wrong, Writes Mrs.
John Wanamaker In valuable article
on 1.-The Patient Work Of Mother
hood" in the May Ladies' Home jour
nal; when they know for the first time
that one action merits--whether 1t re-
ceives it or not--reward. and another
punishment because Of the action it
self, not because of their parents will.
Prior to this. training can be nothing
more than discipiling, but when this
time arrives the mothers real duties
commence, and from that moment date
her responsibilities. Girls and boys
require very much the same treatment
in this matter of training, and l do
not know that I believe In making
very much, if any, distinction in 1t.
The same amount Of firmness, of COM
mon sense, of respect to individual
character and regard for individual
talents should be shown in the one
case as in the other. The greatest care
must be exercised by the mother. as
her children grow older, to retain
their affection, to be one of, and one
with them to have her daughters talk
over the people, and especiallyithe men
they meet, with her as they would
with any girl friend, and to keep an
ever watchful eye over their girl and
men friends alike. I believe most sim
cerely in girls friendships, in the
friendships girl makes after she Is
fourteen or fifteen.

ELBERTON WINS.
And Abbeville May Hang Her Harp
on the willow.

We see by the Elberton Star that the au-
thorities of the e., c. & n. railway have given
a contract for the building Of a round house
at Elberton.
This fact, in connection with Mr.. Robinson g
letter to Mayor Hill, may be taken as conclu-
sive evidence that Abbeville Is out In the col d
In so far as receiving any other oeneit from rom
the great iron highway, than that which Will
be enjoyed by every other station.
AS Abbeville was midway between Atlanta
and Monroe the people of this town hoped
Of the round house and the relay station.
But as it is, Abbeville is not even the meet
ing place of the passenger trains.
But whether we get any round homses or
other special advantages from the G., E.. & N.
it is still Abbeville's great beneGlclor, aud
should hold Il good place in our heart OF
hearts. In many ways we Will receive incl
dental advantages. Every man who goes to
Atlanta or beyond, by way Of that city will
save something in time and money. The use
Of the road In a thousand other ways will be
blessing TO us, and TO 1t we may be some
what indebted for the splendid accommodn-
& G.. Before 1t was built we had rlckety old
trains. the poorest depot accommodations ON
the road, our track was dangerous. ana
the schedule was anything else than satisfac-
tory. If any petition for accommodation or
any polite request for an Improvement was
made, the public thought the spectre OF an
implied threat to tear up the track ana quit
the branch was ever present. and some oil our

were started.
But the Abbeville Branch now has as pretty
depot as can be found on the road; n beau
tiful passenger coach Invites the traveller, a
swift engine and levelled up track ensure
safe and speedy transit; polite and courteous
telegraph and depot agents attend TO the
wants of the public: and last but not least
important, we are now to have Sunday trains
and Sunday mails, so that hereafter Able

THE SUNDAY MAIL.
Last Sunday, May 10, 1892, the First
Sunday Train and the First Sun.
day Mail was Received at Able.
VILE.

NilSs
Last Sun day the new schedule over the G. &
q. road went into effect. and the first Sunday
mail ever brought to Abbeville was received
that day.
A petition was passed around town asking
the sentiment of the business men as TO
whether we should receive the Sunday mail.
Opinion was about equally divided, and so,
through the public spirit OF our Obliging post
master. he determined TO open the mails.
The Press and Banner regards the Sunday
mail as n matter OF Importance, In so
far as its publication is concerned. BY the
new schedule, without the Sunday mail, the
mail could not be opened before five O'Clock,
and as most Of our mail matter comes by that
mail, we would have only lit le over day
ip which to get out our paper, but with the
Sunday malls we could often have important
matter early Monday morning, Instead OF. late
Monday evening.
Those of our felow-citizens who have scru-
Piles about receiving their mail on Sunday
need not call for 1t, until Monday evening.
and then to comply fully with their con.
science in this matter they might not mail
any letters which may not reach their des-
lination before Sunday, as otherwise they
would impose extra work on the Railroad
Mail Agent.
To be consistent in the observance Of the
Sabbath day our warm dinners should be dis
pensed with SO that cooks need not work
the hotels should be shut up: the doors OF the
livery stables should be locked: the drug
stores should be closed, and the daily newspa-
pers should be prohibited. In the daily news
paper offices the work Is about the same ev-
cry day in the week; the same Is true Of the
Kitchens the hotels, the livery stables. the
barber shops, and In many other lines OF bus
mess, and we are unwilling TO draw the line
at the post office.
We believe that no community which has
the opportunity, falls to receive It's mail and
we see no reason why Abbeville should be an
exception.
