Carnival Coming Soon.

From the fourth to the ninth Of April
John Jones will be here with his big car
nival. 1t looks a little like having q soiree
in the morning, a dance in daylight, or a
frolic at sunrise to have q carnival to come
at this time of the year but its coming.
Shows Of this kind make the rounds of the
South usually in the fall of the year
when more money is in circulation
then than at the other time, but John
Jones is coming with entertainment
enough to last the town for an entire week
and he is coming in April.
In this part Of the country April is one
of the busiest months. Farmers are busy
putting seed in the ground for next falls
harvest, merchants are busy and anxious,
busy supplying farmers and anxious as to
what the year will bring forth in the way
of a crop. The merchant who does a time
business must of necessity exercise great
faith for he puts out his money on the
hopes Of a good crop. A crop failure
would ruin many.
But Jones is coming all the same, COM
ing with his dens of wild animal; with his
ferris wheels and see-saws; coming with
his wonderful, new, and entertaining side
shows; coming with the tinsiled dancers
and Egyptian horns; coming with the fuss
| and furry and dust and confetti and mu-
sic AND sausages and candy wheels and big
snakes and acrobats and slot machines
| and fortune tellers and hot wafIles anC
crazy houses and things!
Jones is coming. There is no use to try
to dodge the issue. He will be here pres
lently. Just make up your mind that you
will have to deliver over to Jones a little
Of your pocket change for one weeks en-
%tertainment and then all else follows cas-.
lily. 1t is all in a life time and Jones is
coming.
Cotton may be 8 or IS cents next fall
neither one will affect Jones in the least,
| He is coming to Abbeville on the fourth of
April and this is no April fool.
We may prefer to be entertained in the
fall but Jones prefers to entertain us now,
and for that purpose he will be here on thu
fourth, proXimo.

W. P. Greene Entertains.

In one of the most informal receptions
ever given in Abbeville Mr.. w. p. Greene

(male) on last Saturday night.
The host wa at his best and nothing
was spared to make the occasion notably
a pleasant n
A regular turkey and salad supper with
every thing that could possibly accompany,
followed by ice cream and cake, and settled
by good cigars, made up an ideal gentle
mans supper.

The Debate.

As scheduled on last Friday the Debate
between members OF the Abbeville and
High Schools took place in
the Grand Opera House. The young
men r~edresenting Abbeville were Messrs
Ralph Syfan and Robert Coleman; those
Greenwood:
The subject Of discussion Is one Of ma
tional interest: Resolved that the United
States should have q greater navy. The
speeches were we'll prepared and well de-
5ivered and were listened to with unfag-
cling interest from beginning to end. 1t
. usual at an entertainment Of this kind
kind to have large audiences in Able
willie but for some reason the audience
was rather small on Friday night. Our
people should lend countenance and en-
bouragement to such efforts OF the part
bf the school.
No exercise In which the members
6ould engage would be more fruitful OF
benflt to the individuals, and esprit de
corps generally than in just such exercises
hs were held last Friday night, Even the
playing Of baseball Is productive Of com.
mendable school spirit without which nc
Bchool may hope to reach the highest at
tainments.
Greenwood won the debate, though IL
Vas closely contested and the percentages
bn either side were within a fraction OF
The same number. The Judges were Mes
Brs Ramsey Blake Of Greenwood, Howard
Moore esq. Of Abbeville, and
BIZ Eberton, Ga. The Greenwood boys Sc
ected an Abbeville man and the Abbeville
boys selected a Greenwood man and the
Two schools selected the third Judge who
WAS to be from neither place.

Easter Sunday.

Easter Sunday passed off most pleasant
ly. Exercises were held in all the church.
es except the Presbyterian church. The
pastors of the different congregations
chose for their themes passages %appropri-
ate to the occasion.
Easter is a Pagan name. 1t was a name
given to a heather goddess, the goddess OF
springtime, OF our Saxon forbears. AS
such she was reverenced and w%Orshipped
by them. In some way the Christians
turned this pagan custom into a Christian
rite and thus the resurrection OF our Saw
Tor Is commemorated. It was probably
easier to introduce christian worship
among these people by permitting the
name Easter" to remain and changing
the spirit of the worship from the former
heather custom to that of the resurrection
OF our Savior.
Many names and traditions come down
to US from our old Saxon forbears. All
the idays Of u week come from the
names Of Saxon gods. The common god
of the English people was Wooden, the
war god, the guardian Of the nation, and
from his name we have Wednesday.
Thor was the god Of thunder, who was
supposed to hurl his mighty bolts through
the air with such violence as to cause the
the r~everbrations heard from strokes Of
tightening. From Thor's name we have
Thursday.
Freya was the goddess Of peace and
gladness and fruitfulness. She was wor-
shipped by young maidens bearing in their
hands the emblem Of the goddess. From
the name of Freya we have our Friday.
Sotere Is the name Of a god from which
We have our Saturday. There vas anoth-
or terrible Anglo Saxon god, Tiw by name
to meet whom was death. When an an
gle or q Saxon died he was supposed to
have met the much feared god. Tw, from
whose name we have Tuesday.
Sunday is called after the Angle Saxon
sun god and Monday after the Moon god.
Thus each day Of the week is named after
an Angio-Sa1on god.

of Greenville was in the city on business
yesterday. Mr.. Mahon come of hustling

as was proved by his Grafton before the
Press Association which met in Greenville
last summer; if q preacher is needed he
can preach the life Of a town sout Of ennui
and desuetude into vim and vitality. He
is worth having around.

WILL SHIP 25O
 CARS THIS YEAR

The stage of spring having been reached, when all fruit and vegetables are considered safe from frost and freezes, and an estimate of the coming crop req sOnably closely figured as to the output, parties acquainted with conditions along the Prescott X Northwestern Railroad, were questioned concerning prospects for the seasons shipments, and the statement given out that the big orchard at Highland will doubtless ship 175 cars of Fiber ta peaches this year. Last sea- son only 90 cars were shipped, but the coming in of a vast in creased acreage, and splendid prospects will increase the yield three fold or more.
 Over 125 acres of cantaloupes have been planted, from which it is expected to ship p cars. Last season was the first along this line of truck farming and the canteloupe crop proved quite pro- htable. One farm alone, owned oy BemiS, contains 100 acres.
 Besides these, there is expect ed to be shipped about p cars of Irish potatoes, and p cars of watermelons.
 Peanuts are being planted on a large scale, but the entire output thls year will be saved for seed to De planted next year, when

TO MARCH 48 MILES;
 THROUGH PRESCOTT

Little Rock, April 15- Soldiers of the regular army are to be shown trick or two by the ca dets of the Ouachita College, Philadelphia, who will start out April 25, rain or shine, for AS mile hike" to Hope. Capt. Ii. l.. Jackson, of the regular army, was in Little Rock yesterday and made arrangements to borrow tents from the Arkansas Nation al Guard to be used on this trip. There are two companies of the cadets, besides a band under the leadership of Dwight Blake, and it too will make the march. Capt. Jackson has been detailed to supervise the military work at Ouachita by the War Department and now has his embyro soldiers in excellent state of perfection. Capt. Jackson says the cadets execute 2SS movements from Butts gun drill without the giv. ing of a command. While this drill is being executed the band plays inspiring strains, making an exhibition we'll worth going miles to see. The marchers will stop at Gurdon and Prescott enroute to Hope, and there give exhibitions, charging so much head for admission to defray the expenses of the journey, and a ride on the cushions back to port.

Down on the Farm

Little Rock, April. 15-Astride of two mules, Gov Donaghey and State Auditor lobe Tuesday made an inspection of every DOT tion of the State Farm. It was back to nature with this pair, neither having been astride of a mule since the boyhood days down on the farm, and half day of this mode of travel made the two state officials rather un- steady of foot when again they were forced to follow their usual mode of locomOtiOn. Both de- clare, however, that they have enjoyed nothing in years like the race indulged in on F ck and Kit down a lane on tn, farm. A kOdac picture of the pair dis plays horsemanship which is un- equaled in a riding academy where grace and ease are taught. Coy. Donaghey is also said to have shown himself quite a marksman while on the farm. He shot three times at black bird sitting on low limb and the harbinger of spring nev- CT batted an eye. Gov. Donaghey accused the officers at the farm of supplying him with blank shells. He called for another shot gun and as the droves of black birds flew over him, made it rain blackbirds.

all over the body leaving the baby all
raw without skin from head to foot.
On top Of her head there appeared
heavy scab 6 quarter of an inch thick. 1t
was awful to s9e so small a baby look as

Then We decided to try Cuticura.
By using the Cuticura Ointment we
sOfteue6 the scab and it came off. Under
this where the real matter was, by
washing with the Cuticura Soap and
applying the Cuticura Ointment, new
skin soon appeared. We also gave baby
four drop: Of the Cuticura Rssolvent
three times daily. After three days you
could see the body gaining little skin
which would peel off and heal under

old. She is a fine picture Of fat little
