The Judge was gallant soldier OF the West
and rallied around Snodgrass Hill On the
stormy evening of September 20. 1863. when
so many blave spirits on both sides went
down 10 death. He recognized the place as
we'll as if it had been yesterday. Snodgrass
Hill was the winding up OF the lighting oi
the Chickamauga battle.
The Judge also went 10 Missionary Ridge

stand against overwhelming numbers. The
Coniederates finally yielded, Judge Lyon re-

AhheYille,

The city of Abbevlle may well be proud OF
her many educational advantages. In the
first place we have one OF the handsomest
school buildings in the State. 1t has all OF
the latest improvements, and 1t Is In every
way adapted to the purposes for which IL was
built. Modern IN design and architecture,
located upon one of our principal streets and
in the center o our city II Is an ornament TO
our place. II has an able corps OF teachers,
and the large attendance of pupils which
1t commands shows It's popularity with our
good schools. Perhaps in no place of equal
size in the State has this element rs fine
school structures as here.
The Abbevile Literary Club is an orsaniza.
tion which reflects credit upon our people and
IL has done much to foster and develop
literary taste amongst us: The Club Is now
some twenty years Old. 1t acts as a mental
stimuls and encourages love for books ana
reading and too It's social advantages pro-
notes good fellowship and helps 10 build up a
fraternal spirit.
Abbevilie's historic past is something for
which we have cause to be thankful NO peo'
pie can be great without their historic assocl-
atoms. Sentiment In one sense is an extreme
ly practical thing. 1t makes and unmakes
people.

One advantage which we prize most highly ia
the new spirit of enterprise which Is begin

nation, are coming to the front. Fresh blood
is being infused into our leadership and on
ward and upward seem TO be the watch words.
The newspapers located here should always
be mentioned when reference Is made to the
educational advantages Of our city. The
Press and Banner and Medium are two OF the
best county papers In the State. and the col
ored people also have paper published here
called the Christian Culver, which serves TO
stimulate the educational thought of the col
ored race.
The Young Mems Business League Is the
outcome and fruit OF the new life which has
taken hold of our people. This organization
is the result of the efforts of our progressive
young townsmap. Mr. Wyatt Aiken. The

forts Of Mr.. Aiken, elected him TO its Presi'

No failure can be more utter than
that of the parent without love, of the
teacher without tenderness, of the
master without sympathy, of the phil
anthopist without compassion.
Medical men are becoming more and
more alive to the important fact that
MANY men are now dying of drink
who were never drunkards and posi-
bly, never once drunk. The moderate
use of alcoholics produces undue
stimulation and irritation Of the brain,
the stomach and other organs, and
thus brings about disease and death.

signals to other religions" says DR..

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Logic, Scince, Religion, Morals, Anec-
dOte.
The man who never praises his wife
sometimes talks very nice in church.
There are people who want to do
goods but they are slow to commence.
A cruel story runs on wheels, and
every hand oils the wheels as they run.
The easiest way to get rid of ones
doubts about the Bible is to try to live
up to it.
Most men wonder why all except
themselves get angry about trif1es.
The prophet is q man who tries to
tell the world what God has told him.
We obtain favor with God only when
we are willing to give up favor of men.
Such as is thy behavior. before thy
chlldren's faces, such is theirs behind
thy back.
1t will. be found that some of the
best known people in heaven filled
very obscure places while on earth.
We would not get tired of the Bible
pick it except when we are tired.
No man performs his vows unto the
Lord who is careless about filling his
promises TO men.
Sunday is the core of out civilization,
dedicated to thought and reverence.
1t invites to the noblest solicitude and
to the noblest society.
If you are holy, your holiness will
find you out. If you are not holy, al

If the higher criticism has done no.
thing else, it has, at any rate, settled
the fact that Jesus never said, "Blessed
are the great in intellect, for they shall
see God"
The test of a refined sense of smell
is not the ability to detect bad odor-
a crow can do that-but the ability to
enjoy fragrant odors. The test of pie
ty is not like unto it.
A vast amount of labor is lost in this
world by people being in haste. They
go at an undertaking without any pre-
vious reflection how best to accomplish
the purpose in hand.
Our safety is in having lofty ideals
and constant labor to secure their real
ization. Let the getting of money be
q mans ideal, and he will of necessity
grow toward the dust.
The true Christian does not seek to
hide himself in corner; he lets his
light shine before men, whether they
will receive it or not; and thereby is
his Father glUrified.
If there is one virtue that should be
cultivated more than another by him
who would succeed in life, it is pune
tuality! if there is one error that should
be avoided, it is being behind time.
