ABBEvILLE's MERCHANTS
Have returned from Northern markets, and
| Judging from the number OF big boxes" in
| front of their doors would say they and their
| statesmen are all busy as bees Yes every
| store Is a veritable bee hive" They have
| laid In immense stocks, anticipating the high
price OF cotton and expecting big trade this
| fall and winter, and there is no reason why
their most sangune expectations should not
| be realized. 'Tls true the crop will be
"short," but the price Is "loDg," SO the differ
ence is balanced and every one Will have
some money 10 spend, and they will find no
better market than Abbeville In which 10 sell
their cotton and buy their goods. Read the
county papers and see where bargains nre
| offered. The up-to.date merchants advertise.
and the Wide-awake customers take advan-
tage thereof and pick up bargains. while The
| fellow who don't read. and doesn't take the
papers Is left. This is an age when every
| man may read and be wise, and must look
out for himself.
WILL IT BENEFIT ABBEvILLE?
That is. the putting on OF night train over
the Southern. From our standpoint we fail
TO see how the city will derive any benefit
| therefrum.
AS regards mail facilities (should they be
brought on the night train) they Will be just
| the saine, as the mails will arrive when the
post Office is closed, and half the people re-
tired for the night therefore will not be
brought up until the next morning.
Our fine hotel-!he Eureka-has just been
| finished and opened up and what 1t wants to
which none pays better than the travelling
| sa alcsman. eli Of whom "hustle" to get ahead
OF the other fellow and are always ready TO
take advantage of "quick and close" railroad
with this extra night train, they can arrive
| over the Seaboard at p. m. and over the
Southern also, transact their business leave
on the night train over the Southern and be
In some other city next morning ready for
"breakfasl" and business, leaving Abbeville
m les in their wake.
Persons coming, to trade can come In over
either road, and have all day to make their
purchases and quick "outlet for home" over
the night train via the Southern.
| There are always two sides" 10 q question,
and the above IL as 1t appears at a casual
glance from our side. Reader, what think
you OF the might train?'
THE CITY COUNCIL
are putting In some nice work that will "show
up' for time to come and will greatly improve
certain portions Of the city. While they are
hustling for the appearance OF the city, why
not WELD the "white wash" brush just q lit
tie? This would Just now brighten up things
wonderfully and give the city pretty and
clean appearance 10 visitors. Suppose you
try 1t and see the improvement.
BETHEL. LEBANON AND SHARON ALL TUM-
BLED TOGETHER.
Cotton picking ia all the rage in the country
just now-tbe fields are white and on every
side men, women and children are gathering
the tleecy staple.
Another picture is the huge shay sstacks"
and the wagons loaded with hay on their way
from the fields to the barn. This Is Il hustling
| time "down on the farm" and
ale who by the plow would thrive;
Must himself either hold or guide"
This Is q good and true maxim, and If you
hsvn't tried 1t, do so at once.
