At last the site for Abbeville's high school

Yes. II is settled (perhaps) and yet no body
Is satisfied either up town or down town peo-
pie. We'hope yet the COMMITTEE will recon-
sid er and be able to affect II satisfactory
settlement with Mr.. Haskell and find q more

success would crown their efforts. Such q
building ought certainly TO be built In the
city where II should stand az an ornament to
the thrift and enterprise OF our people,, and q
building and school that our citizens, friends
and visitors would look upon with pride. If
the present site Is not changed then lets lake
steps to establish a trolley line at once.
