REST FOR OUR PASTORS.
AS many of our business men are new en-.
joying u respite from their labors, we think II
not amis to suggest that the several congre-
cations OF Abbeville should show their ap-
probation of the faithful work OF their pas
tors, by not only granting them cave OF alb.
sence, but starting them off with q well filled
purse. What say you? Don't you think
your pastor needs rest? If so, then let bis
comfort be your greatest pleasure.
ABBEvILLE's MERCHANTS.
The merchants OF Abbeville are In fine trim
and good spirits with bright prospects ahead
for q tremendous fall business. Crops are
fine. Farmers generally up with their obli'
cations and all depends just now on the later
rains for the harvesting Of an abundant crop.
Many of our merchants will soon be of I O
northern markets where they will lay in an
unusually large stock. While cotton Is low,
goods were never cheaper, so that all evens
up in the end. Several new firms will open
with the fall business showing that Abbevtlle
Is alive and still Oh the heights or prosperity.
Nothing so certainly marks the thrift and
progress of a city as the influx OF new firms
and business men. This has been a 'gala
season for our city, owing to the large mum.
Der OF visitors all the summer besides amuSe'
ments innumerable, and 80 varied as TO ar
ford pleasure and recreation TO our citizens
and visiting friends.
