o'clock lead to Hyman's altar one Of Miss
issippi's fairest and most cultured young
ladies as his ''bonny bride" Mr.. Reese i
one Of Abbeville's progressive and prosper
Gus merchants and altogether a young
and highest esteem Of every one. In man
ner he is affable, courteous and polite anC
moves in q large circle of friends, and nov
that he has taken the one wise step" be
has the hearty congratulations Of hosts o.
friends, all of whom will give to his charm
ing bride a hearty and cordial welcome
whom we are glad to number now as ar
AEbevillian-one OF us. ..
Magazine Hill on a boom! We under,
stand from q most reliable source that
Judge Gary positively refused a few days
ago the snug sum Of sls,5oo for his NC.
GOWan property on this historic hill, which
goes to show the value Of property on this
side of the city.
If you please, picture to yourself fine
residences lined up on both sides Of Maya
zine street, which is now the prettiest il
all the city, and it will surely then be the
Broadway Of Abbeville, with its beautiful
avenues Of shade trees and lovely flower
gardens, and with other attractions which
bring to notice envious eyes from al
around.
Abbeville has now quieted down after @
weeks luttcr OF excitement and pleasure
The carnival has gone and the Abbeville
fair is over, and we are glad to say every
thing passed off most pleasantly.
This fair was a success as far as 1t went
but unfortunately it didn't go far enough
to make it the grand success it should
have been, for certainly all are, OF should
be interested in a project Of this kind, look.
ing to the advancement Of u county and
the interest Of all the people, especially OF
the farmers.
In our humble opinion the managers did
not advertise 1t properly-we mean SO
that all the people, everywhere, could un-
derStand it. Along a distance OF 26 miles
we found no one who knew anything about
the rules, prizes, admission fees, or entries,
and when asked we could not tell them.
We found in all this travel only "one book"
giving information. We believe, had the
above information been given through the
columns Of our county or city papers, as
formerly, so that every n could see and
read and understand that there would
nave Docl larger tuGTleS duu lullel oAllD-
it's; in other words, the fair would have
been q greater success.
Ills said "straws show which way the
wind blows" and we think Judging from
the past if all these things are carefully
looked into, the next fair will be one that
our people, farmers and visitors will be
proud Of.
Our friend and %neighbor, Mrs. F. J. Mar
shall, presented US with two ears of beau
tiful corn, a part from that bushel basket
that carried off the blue ribbon, and we
take pleasure in saying that some Of Mr..
F. G. DuPress fine chickens were tied up
with blue ribbon, all showing that Maya
zine Hill is not asleep, but is still among
the wide-awake people of Abbeville.
Mr.. j. S. Norwood, one Of Abbeville's es-
teemed citizens, has been recently casting
about for a home, and has now purchased
a splendid fruit farm" in Medford, Ore
gon. We hope Mr.. Norwood has done well,
but sorry to see him settle so far from his
native heath.
Mrs. r. L. Fouche, of Rome, Georgia, is
in the city visiting Mrs. Fannie j. Marshall
and Miss Mamie Lou Smith.
