Catholic Mission.

Tie mission in the Catholic church
was brought to a close Wednesday
after ten days of earnest labor on the
part of the eloquent divines who
devoted themselves to this work.
Four services were held each dav and
the attendance was large at nearly
every service. The doctrines Of the
Catholic church were explained and
discussed in a learned manner and
no doubt many of that faith we're
greatly strengthened and built up by
the efforts of these Jealous priests.
Rev. Fathers O'Conner and de la
Moriniere who did the preaching will
long be remembered by Abbev;lle
Catholics as well as a number of
Protestants who heard them preach.

rice plantation near Abbeville. It is
one of the finest pieces OF rice land
in the state, comprising about 1000

One-half of it was planted III .rice

as fine as any in the state. 1t is
near railroads and rice mills. The
plantation has every convenience of
buildings and fences, and is offered
for little over half its value, as Mr..
