Abbeville Press and Banner: "General
M. L. Bonham, formerly of Abbeville. but
now of Anderson, was in town on Salesday
and yesterday. He came on legal busi
ness, and took in some of the social pleas
ures as incident thereto. Current report
has it that General Bonham ts doing
| fine business at Anderson. and when We
told him of the report he did not deny that
the report was true. General BOnham is
very pleasantly remembered in Abbeville
and bis friends are glad of his prosperity
In our sister city. Part Of General Bon
ham's business In Abbeville was to attend
the official sale of some lands In this
county. He was struck with the difference
10 the selling price of lands In this county
and in Andersen County. Inferior lands
In Anderson would bring better prices than
| would better lands in Abbeville. This
fact. it would seem, should induce the peo.
ple of Anderson to move down this way
where land can be had 80 cheap"
