ABUNDANT CROPS.
Full Barns-Plenty Of Money-AlI These
Good Things Have Come Because Of
Better Farming Methods.

To the. Farmers OF AbbeviIle County
Greeting:
Your labors have been blessed this year
with abundant crops, and the most valua-
BILE ever produced in the county.
The total value OF the field crops will ex-
ceed two and one-half million dollars 49,
5O0,000). This Is about eighty dollars (sSO)
per capita for the entire population, of one
hundred and twenty dollars (S120) per cap
ita for all those engaged in farming. This
Is enough to sustain the entire population
for one entire-so we are at least OH SELF
sustaining basis.
The best feature about this wonderful
crop Is, it Is generally dilfused throughout
the county; some, Of course, will have
more than others, but every one will have
enough to make ends meet this year, and
have good start next year.
The next best thing about this great
crop Is, how 1t has been accomplished. It
was not on account OF extra seasons, for
the seasons have been very irregular. 1t
was not because OF any great increase Of
acreage. 1t has been brought about main
ly by better preparation and cultivation Ct
the soil; by the use Of better tools and i'm
proved methods, and q better division Of
the crops.
Hold your grip. Persevere In the plans
and methods you have practlced this year,
and your barns and warehouses will be
filed to overiowing, and peace and plenty
will abound. Yours, &c,

the third OF his stage offerings on the
stage of the South and the negro was the
attraction at the Academy Of Music here
to capacity, business and well-merited ap-
proval Of the audiences. The particular
feature of the occasional thought not
stressed in the advertisement was in Mr..
Dixon's playing the leading role, owing to
the recent tragic death Of one Of the mem
bers Of the company. Heis forceful lee
turer yet he can claim laurels as an actor.
In the love scenes he was most convincing,
and in the climax Of the second act he rose
heroicaly to the occasion and 1t is doubt
full if professional actor could have done
better. Mr.. Dixon will continue In the
leading role' for a few days, until the new
man who lately arrived from New York is
proficient in the part. 1.-The Sins Of the

much to avert danger that for years has
been threatening our civilization. l..
