The Colored Co,agregationalists

Last week and this have been full of
interest for the colored people of this
town. The Association Of Congrega-
tional preachers and lay members have
held regular meetings in the church on
Louisiana street, under the pastorate
of Rev. Herod. The night services
have been largely attended by the
white citizens of town and we are told
that the sermons and addresses were
in every way creditable, and the mis-
sionaries and preachers gave much
good advice to the colored people which
we hope they viii profit from.

A FIourfshing HnstEtmdion.

Elsewhere in todays paper will be
found a notice calling a special meet
ing of the stockholders to decide
whether the Bank of Abbeville shall
increase its capital stock. From re-
liable sources we learn that more than
enough new stock has been offered to
swell the capital from $15, 900 to $780,
900. The last quarterly statement
shows the bank to be in a hourishing
condition and this is due to the skillful
handling of the finances by the eff
Gent and affable cashier L. o. Brous-
sard, who from a rather dubious pro-
iect has worked the bank up 10 the
most solid affair in town. There is no
reason TO doubt that the old share
holders will consent to the desired in
crease and thus place the bank high
among the financial institution of the
State.
