BREED THEATER.
Washington Under the American
 Flag" Feature Picture.


 At both of Thursdays performances at the Breed theater, there was large audience in attendance, and was most appreciative of the excellent bill. In the big feature picture, Washington Under the American Flag, the specta- tors seemed overcome with enthusi- asm, and as one brilliant historical scene followed another the house be- came fairly in an uproar before the close of the picture. Particularly beau tifuI are the scenes, Crossing the Del aware in a snowstorm, the surrender of Cornwallis, and the inaug guration of the first president of the United States.
 The fascinating Cardinals Conspir- acy, enacted by the famous biograph people, becomes a charm in their con- petent hands, and the quaint little mannerisms of the individual perform CTS, are as delightful as they are charming.
 Truly inspiring are the superbly ar tistic scenes, in Inspiring Sunsets; this magnificent portrayal of Dame Nature at one of her most delightful moments is undoubtedly one of the handsomest revelations of the grandeurs of sunset ever seen. Expressions of admiration are heard during the entire picture.
 The little favorte, Master Harry Noonan, sang Heros That We Know, the portrait of each popular parsonage being greeted with cheers and ap- plause, later singing, You Can't Keep Me from Loving You.

MILL Is LosT.
East Hartford Estate in Curious Pred icameEt-identity of Men Unknown.

A lost will is causing no end of trouble to the relatives of the late William G. Comstock of East Hart ford. In 1908 three men witnessed Mir, Comstock's will and their names are inscribed thereon, but the where abouts of the will, the whereabouts of the men and their names is all a mys tery. An advertisement signed by Frederick Comstock was published re- gently which read as follows:
 Will Lost-Information wanted leading to the identity of the three gentlemen who met at the home of w. G. Comstock in February, 1908 (while he was confined to the house with an ipfirm leg), for the supposed purpose of witnessing his will.''
 The will, disposing of an estate vari- ously estimated up to half a millions had been mislaid and thus the three men wanted were necessary to prove the contents of the document.
 w. G. Comstock died several weeks ago, leaving the estate in question and there has been some speculation ir East Hartford as to why the will has not been probated and as to it's con tents. Mir. Comstcck left two broth CTS, Frederick and Franklin.

Beauty on Horseback.

For q time some OF the prettiest girls In
town have been giving exhibitions Of the
most graceful horseback riding that We have
ever had in Abbeviile. The bad weather on
last Sunday kept pretty girls and quick.
stepping horses out OF review. but on the
previous Sunday we hear that the riding
Club was ont in force. We missed the sight.
II anybody knows of more beautiful. or a
more graceful vision than pretty girls riding
splendid horses, let him please direct our
eyes In that direction. Do you know Of any
thing more lovely or more enhancing than
beautiful women riding horses that are
proud of their beautiful burden? And we
wouldn't have you think that horseback rid
ing islimited to Sundays. Such is not the
case. We love to see the horseback riding
any day or every day IN the week. The sight
being 80 much better, and Is so much prettier
than anything that We can see elsewhere, an
old bach elor always feels like falling down
right there and then, to worship the god
desses that hold the r5ins.

Old Printers.

When MIR. Milwee had been In town only a

put in appearance, this being Mr.. Walters's
FIRST visit to Abbeville. Mr.. Walters has
journeyed around much. He was once q
printer and a city clerk in Llncoln's old
home, Springfield, ILL.,, but since the war he
has been much OF his time in the South. He
is 70 and Mr.. Mllwee .is IS. Both good and
capable men for business, but neither knew
in their youth that no friend Ia 30 true as a

ed themselves from the coin OF the calm,

Church Attendance.

Mr.. Sturkey's piece Is all right, and,shows
up beautifully the church-golng proclivities
Of that town. Read 1t. The main thing
which is wrong In the good brothers. article

fury, and the per cent OF attendance upon
mis- services exceeds the attendance at any
other church.
DR.. Wilson has been with Us for q much
longer time than has any other pastor In
town. Pastors of other congregations come
and go. but DR.. Wilson stays with us forever.
The Methodist church here has one OF the
best congregations In the Conference. They
are devout ~worshippers and liberal payers
IT Is the pioneer church organization in tho
town Of Abbeville, and its influence for good
is not to be measured In words. 1t is one OF
the strongholds Of Methodism. In 1925 Rev.
James Moore and bis wife sought 70 build
the first church In Abbeville. and they were
successful. Everybody In town worshipped
then with the Methodists. AS the town grew
other churches sprang into existence.
The Episcopal church was an of.shoot OF
the Methodist church. The congregation Is
not large, but we believe the per cent Of at
tendance, membership considered, is the
highest Of any other church. The attendance
on Sunday morning being nearly, II not
quite equal, 10 the number Of communicates.
Next came the organization Of the Baptist
church, with Rev. R. N. Pratt as the pro.
moter and organizer. Jacob Miller and Mrs.
Quarles were pillars Of the church at It's Or
ganization.
The last congregation to be organized at
Abbeville was the Associate Reformed
church. The roll Of Its membership runs up,
as reported In the Minutes Of Synod to "a.
The average actual attendance at this church,
as published in the Press and Banner Is IS.
And 1t will be noticed that In those church
es which esohew politics, the largest per cent
OF membership is found on Sunday morn
Ing In the pews OF the holy temple. We do
not pretend to say that the attendance upon
religious services has any relevancy to poll
tics, but the fact is merely noted, so hat the
reader may draw his own conclusion, es-
pecially II politicians and preachers ex-
change pulpits.

Attendance at church no doubt reduce 1 the
number OF callers at the p~ostofice between
nine and ten O'Clock and between eleven and
twelve O'Clock. AT any rate the number Of
callers at the poatofdce was greatest imme.
dlately after the conclusion OF the religious
service. Between two O'Clock and four
O'Clock rain fell without intermission, and 1t
would seem therefore hat the rain, as we'll as
devotional exercises, affected the number OF
