A birthday surprise party was ten
dered to Frank Q. Thompson last
night at the bachelor home of himself
and Harry Lowery and Charlie Davis
son, south of town, on the occasion of
Franks twenty-third birthday. Those
present were members Of the local
Good Templar lodge, and were too
numerous to mention and the entire
party were transported on hay rack
and it is safe to say merrier mixture
of youth and beauty never left town.
Frank was surprised and overwhelmed
and his wifeless home was crowded.
There was music, games, Rotations
and general merry time, as we'll as q
sumptuous feast Franks many visi-
tors gave him a royal send off, and it
is safe to say some OF the fair damsels
wished he may never live till another

Mrs. Spainhower and Mrs. Hittle have
been taking look at the imperial
Mesa and they are delighted and
charmed as we'll with the immense
domain and the charming landscapes

delicious atmosphere. They all come

Great Praise from n Disinterested
Brother In the Distance.

We cannot help but admire The Abbeville
Press and Banner and think Of its fortunate
location. There is nc town In the State that
ls growing more substantial growth than b.
bsVille, and she shows her thrift and spirit In
her newspapers. Her busineas men have
about fourteen colutn ms Of advertising In the
Press and Banner and the paper comes out In
twelve page form. 1t looks like there IS bus
mess at Abbeville and the very impression
that 1t makes doubtless carries great deal Of
trade 10 tn III place that would not otherwise
go there, Tor there are a number of very good
sized towns In that section of the State. The
people seem TO be persistent about the matter
and hold on TO an idea long enough to get
something out Of 1t; they keep perststently
at 1t and do not waste substance by faint
ebulltions at long intervals that are kept up
only long enough for people to find out about
who they are and what they are driving at
and then quit long enough TO become moss
covered and forgotten. II is not necessary for
them to wonder why they keep up with the
world with an always increasing business and
q growth that keeps their town at the head OF
the van Of progress by collective effort. The
day is past when the man can sit down In
soine secluded spot and have people 10 run
after him for the lavor Of paying for his goods.
He has to hunt trade and keep after II to hold
it: make himself and bis wares known TO the
customer and keep them known. 1t Is largely
q question OF talk, Of iteration, and the man
who does the most of 1t and the man who
does 1t most intelllgibly Is the man who gets
there.
