We are now in the midst OF gala week;
the Abbeville Fair and Carnival are in full
blast and the city is all ~astir-people pour
ing In from every quarter until a great
crowd is surging to and fro in and about
the city. Magazine street Is now the
Broadway" OF Abbeville and the old his
ton. Our city should have had banners
flying, bunting stretched and floating its
welcome in the breeze to the visitors,
while our business men should have had
their stores and windows all decorated and
their s'best foot" foremost-a grand dis
play would have advertised their business
in such a way that their names and bust
ness would have gone out among the peo-
pie, not only Of Abbeville County, but
among adjoining counties, not soon to be
forgotten. A little step forward counts a
great deal in these days Of rush and prog
ress.
On Monday evening exhibits were com-
ing in 30 that many of the departments
were already creditably filed. We hope
the Fair will prove a grand success, so
that our people will look forward to max
ing the next one a larger and greater sue
cess, and that it will grow in interest from
year to year. Don't get on 'stilts" if your
exhibit doesn't take a prize, for reason
Will Y yOu G1loO CNOly ALL IA WILL,
no more than every candidate can be elect
ed. So just take it in good humor and
abide the decisions Of the judges.
