A NEW opERA HOUSE FOR
1t would seem from the remarks OF Judge
Ernest Gary that he Is not in favor Of using
The Court House as an opera house. We c.
incide with his views and think his wise
decision may be the beginning oil the era that
will cause our people TO see the necessity OF
building an Opera house. Abbeville Is wide
awake and progressive in all things looking
to the interest OF the city and the welfare OF
her citizens. Such q step would, we believe,
pay a good dividend TO u joint Stock Com
pany, and would bring more people, more
business and more life 10 our city.
There IL no people more fond Of pleasure
than the people of Abbevil!e and surely our
population would warrant the building of an
Ilnnro nt,p ThnrQ Qrp q avprQ flQpHk VI hprp
one cou Id be built without very great cost.
Let Abbeville not be out done by her neigh
beripg cities, but 20 TO work and keep pace
with this prog ressive age.
