Fig Trees Not All Dead.

After the intense cold for this lati-
tude, during February last,i it was fear
ed that all the fig trees in this parish
had been killed to the roots. Some
of them were entirely killed, but we
are glad to note others were only
partially killed-the limbs all dying,
but the large trunks of the trees hav-
ing enough life in them to put out
sprouts. This is good fortune, in
deed, because quite a number of trees
will be bearing again next year,
whereas if all had been killed by the
freeze, our people would not. have
been able to gather figs from Their
own trees for at least several yeara, as
it takes some time to grow a bearing
tree.
Judge Edwards, has several trees in
his orchard which not only escaped
dying but have a fine crop OF figs
which will soon be ripe.

A New Industry For Abbeville.

Last Monday week Charles Stems
saw mill began operation on a lot Of
white oak logs and has turned out a
nice lot of heavy lumber. This saw
mill is located on Main street just
north Of the Catholic church property,
and logs are hauled up out of the
bayou by a big bull wheel and chain
and delivered close to the carrier.
Mr.. Steen is a thorough mechanic
and understands the saw mill business
perfectly. He does not expect to
make a fortune out of his saw mill
as it is rather remote from the timber,
but he will saw up all logs he can get
hold of, and is now saving out a lot
of oak lumber for Mr.. Sokoloski, the
logs having been brought here on
barges. There is considerable oak,
gum, hickory and elm timber con-
venient to Abbeyille which can be
sawed up to advantage. The mill
employs several additional hands and
if the enterprise is encouraged prop
erly will add to the trade and wealth
of the town. We hope it much sue
cess.
