the appearance Of the boom ia that part OF

unusual elaboration Of detail. but some Of
them were so carried away with the en-
thusiasm Of the moment that they made
speeches whOopiDg up the BOOM The Hon.
Perry 5. Heath was there in his managerial
capacity and il is expected that the Han
Literary Bureau viii send out a very
good account OF the affair as soon as Coll

lieved that some OF the delighted denizens
Of Westminster who heard the roar aud
felt the thrill OF the boom viii be induced
to go to Philadelphia in June and augment
the crowds that will there be stampeded to
the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt by Mr. Hanna

we let our TIMBER rot and buy
our plow stocks, singletrees, axe
handles, hoe handles and fencing.
We throw away our ashes and
buy soap aud axle grease.
We give away our beef hides and
buy bame-strings and shoe-strings'
We waste our manure and buy
guano.
We buy garden seed IN the spring
and cabbage in the winter.
Let our lands grow mp In weeds
and buy brooms.
Wa waste the wax out OF our
pine and gum trees and buy chew-
inc:gum for oui children.
We build school houses AM hire
teachers and send our children oil

We land five cent fish with four

The following article taken from
the Republican Idea Of Abbeville,
shows the good work that is being
done in that town, by the Organi-
cation known as the Knights of
Temperance. 1t will prove of in
terest to many Knights here:-
A great movement for good is
silently, yet surely and powerfully
going forward in our town, which
promises to envelop the entire
community and which assures
better things for the future. We
refer to the little giant-the
Knights of Temperance-which
has taken up an abode in CTR town
and has been gaining strength so
rapidly. The Order organized less
than six months ago, now consists
of thirty-five active, enthusiastic
members and from two to three
are joining at each meeting.
The object of the Order is sub
lime--it was organized for the
purpose of encouraging the prac-
tice of, "Temperance, Humanity
and Charity" three Of the great
Christian graces-a cause in which
all can unite and one in which
every churchman and Christian
should feel an interest.
Already some whom the wine
cup had despoiled, have found
shelter under it's banners and
every man, woman and child,
should feel grateful for the pro-
lection it has given these unfor-
Inmates and what it proposes to
do for them in the future, if they
abide.
This is a cause which no one
who feels an interest for the bet
terment of the race can despise.
A cause noble and grand.
All men above Is years of age
are eligible to become members.
Let all the male sex of our town
abandon the wine-cup and say as
Sam Jones: II have taken my
last drink boys, / have taken my
last drink and come and join this
Order and stick to it, 'sthen' they
will be "safe from the drunkard $
DOOM and his misery and shame.
All that is good in man urges
such action. Choose that which
is right and you will never regret
it. No one who belongs to the
Knights of Temperance will be
ashamed to acknowledge it when
he appears before the Judgment
seat Of God. KNIGHT.

Oxford-News has just reached here
OF tworobberies committed ct Able
vile, ten miles north. The safes of
Good & MCGOWAN and of Graham
crothers were blown open with powder
and robbed Of their contents. The
thieves secured only Q small amount
OF money, part of which was in old
silver coin. It seems that these firms
had ordered considerable amount of
money from the banks here and the
superstition ls that the thieves knew
this and expected to make good haul.
The money sent from here, however,
did not reach Abbeville until next
morning.
