MISS WILLIE CATER,
Went of az a Pretty Little GirI-Came
Back as Handsome MatrOn-
a COunOnR

Mrs. Pressly OF Atlanta, who was once q
pretty little girl In Aobeville and known a.
MiBs Willie Cater, came back to her old home
to visit her aunts the Misses Cater. She
brought with her two OF the incest children
you ever saw, namely: Miss Marie and her
younger brother Master Alfred. Her twelve
year old daughter and her eight year old SOD
max es Mrs. PRESLEY rich indeed. These two
hildren are worth all the money in Abbe-
willie, and we presume that the other two
children which she left in Atlanta are worth
as much as the whole city. They are respect
lively sixteen and fourteen years OF age. Mrs.
Pressly left Abbeville nearly twenty i've
years ago, as Miss Willie Cater.
In reIlgion she Is all right, being q straight
Presby terian and says Sabbath religiously.
The Associate Reformed church In Atlanta
was 30 near to her that she sent her children
to the Sunday School in that church. She
regrets the sale OF the A. r. P. church, and
fears that the new lot IL not near SO good q
place.
During her stay in Abbeville Mrs Pressly
recognized several old acquain tances. but OF
course nobody recognized In the dignified
matron the face Of the little girl tlat was 81
well known and loved more than twenty
years ago.
Among others that she visited while here
was Mrs. r. G. Wilson and Mrs. j. r. Lomax.
The little children carried sunshine and hap
plness with them, ana The recollection OF
their presen ce Is q sweet memory and u re-
minder OF the sweetness and childish loving
heart of their mothers girlhood.
The mother and her children left Abbe-
vine last Thursday.

 No action was taken on the report by the Governor last night.
 Reports of other officials of Lime stone county were also made to the Governor. An error of $22.26, was dis covered in the accounts of Sheriff E. F.
