Another Editor has Bridge Troubles.

Way out in Texas the new disease,
Bridge" has made its appearance and is
making considerable inroads among the
feminine population.
A Hillsboro editor had the temerity to
offer advice to the afflicted which was not
at all taken in good spirit. In fact they
demanded Of the editor that he should
a apologize for what he had said.
Being a peaceable man he made the
following abject apology, after reading
which the afflicted ones could certainly
have felt no more ire toward him. Here
is the apology:
Several Of the leading society ladies OF
Hillsboro insist that we apologize for an
article appearing in the News W weeks
ago, in which we stated that too much
valuable time was wasted by the ladies at
their function Of Bridge. We humbly
apologize for the item and wish to state
that we lied. There is not a lady in Hills
boro that knows the jack of clubs from a
Jerusalem %artichoke, and as for Bridge,
they never saw the game in their lives,
and some Of them think it's a new kind OF
corset. And wnen they meet at social
functions they occupy their time reading
their bibles and conversing about the
efficacy of the atonement and the which
ness Of when"

The Rosenberg Mercantile Go
Is the Rate too High.

It would seem from the general com
plant relative to the cost of electric lights
in this city; either that the rate Is toe
high or the lights are far in advance Of
the citizens limit of extravaganza.
One gentleman who claims to have used
every reasonable economy in the use OF
his lights and water paid something more
or less than nine dollars. Another gentle.
man for the month previous paid about
six dollars for lights alone and yet skinned
his shins every night walking through
dark rooms and halls. We have heard
indirectly Of much larger bills than these
but the information did not come directly
from the parties.
Without any accurate information on
the subject, it is pertinent to ask if the
rate for lights in Abbeville is on the same
basis approximately as that Of other like
towns? One thing is certain whether this
rate is right or wrong, the ordinary man
who pays over three dollars per month for
his lights must be robbing his grocer or
his clothier. If a man paid in proportion
for everything else as he does for his
electric lights, q salary Of 5000 per month
would not suffice for his monthly expenses.
The city should do a little more public
lighting with the existing rate anyway,
For instance there should be an arc light
at the Southern depot. The travelling
public is entitled to this either at the
hands Of the city or Of the Southern road
Let them place the responsibility, but give
US the lights.

Durno, the Fakir, as he SUBSIDIES him.
self amused a number Of people at the
theatre Saturday night by means Of his
tricks Of l~edgerdemain.
Durno says that his tricks are so simple
that once people knew how they were
done all the charm Of the thing would
disappear. 1t is only the mysticism that
entertains. He made this reply when
asked whether q recital Of how he did his
stunts would not be just as entertaining
as the performances themselves.
The secret of l~edgerdemain, he says, is
In concentrating the eye Of the audience
at c point where the operator wishes it to
be so that what he Is doing In another
place will go unnoticed.
The saying that movements OF the
operator are quicker than the eye Is q
mistaken idea, success as a fakir depends
entirely on deception.
As usual all the youngsters who saw the
show are practicing to beat the band
practicing ve~ntriloquism, sleight Of !
and every thing else they witnessed Sat

Christmas Comes Anon.

And while old Klaus is looking out for
favored boys and girls won't you direct
the old spend-thrifts attention to some
whom he may overlook!
There are so many folk that maybe in
some neglected spot some live that might
be overlooked unless his kind attention is
turned that way.
Tell old Santa, if you should meet him.
that last year he missed at least two doz-
en- families in Abbeville. Of course it was
an oversight, but what an unhappy one ii
was!
It's awful. Santa failed to come to our
house once upon a Christmas tidc-iust
once-and what a desolate house it was
that Christmas!
Santa has to burden his mind with SO
many things he may forget 10 pay his
annual visit to some. Won't you please
remind him in time? If his attention is
called to those he missed he will not pass
them by again unvisited.
II we know that the kind old Saint has
filled every wee stocking in town the
pleasure Of opening our own will be
doubled.
You know whom he missed last year.
| Won't you tell him?

Miss kittie Kennedy Dead.

After an illness Of something like two
weeks, Miss Kittie Kennedy died, yester'
day morning, Dec. 9Th, 1910. She was
about seventy six years old.
For fifty years Miss Kittie Kennedys
life has been one Of self denial and service
Of the Master.
If ever flower ''bloomed to blush unseen"
doomed with that fragrance Of heart that
rises like sweet incense to Him who Is the
Maker of all, then here it is found in its
fitness. Men see only the lowly toll
ing drudgery Of life slowly "fretting the
puny body to decay" while the All-seeing
eye records every heart pulse that ebbs'
in the service Of humanity.
If we may rest nthe faith of the church,
then death to Miss Kittie is but sleeping
while passing 10 the other shore. I

Errata.

In an article of last issue a name was
used where we should have used "Put'
man." No one knows how this name
managed to take Putmans place, but all
know that no one car take Putnam's place.
Mr.. Putnam is literally making things
hum at the Abbevil!e mill as is vouched
for by the late meeting Of the manage
ment when a dividend was declared on
common stock.
Mr.. Putnam knows every detail of his
business and has proven himself valuable
