What IN" Sees and Hears on His
Rounds About the City and Along
Route No. 3.

Abbeville, S. c., May 25, 1910.
Have you seen it? What! the comet
o, no; we mean that great big issue O.
last weeks Press and Banner. Well, the
carriers had big time answering ques
tions like these: II missed my Press anC
Banner last week; what have you done
with it? What has become Of the Press
and Banner? When is it coming out !? an(
what's the matter, etc, etc? Well, We
Matched up different tales and tried te
make matters easy but finally told the
people it would be out in double size" anC
line shape, and sure enough it did turn out
just that way; but say, wasn't it 'golly
whopper" when it did come? 1t took US Q
whole day to sketch" over its newsy col
umns, and take slyglance every now ano
then at the pretty pictures Of Abbeville's
wide-awake and illustrious people.
Well, laying all jokes aside, we congratr
ulate the editors in the get up, and make
up Of their splendid paper, setting forth
the many advantages of Abbeville and Alb
beville county, and placing them before
the eyes of capitalists, and homeseekers
This is the way to build up city and coun'
ty and turn the eyes of the world, so tc
speak, this way, and let them gaze upon
our old historic city and honored county
filling up with cultured and refined people
who see the advantage of casting their LOT
with u, and yet there is room for many
more. Abbev.lle opens wide her gates and
extends her hands in q hearty welcome to
all good people and say to them come with
us and we will do you good. .
Too much praise cannot be given to the
wide-awake editors, for their earnest zeal
and laborious effort is giving to their pat
rons this grand historical sketch of Able.
vile, it's churches, business, schools and
various enterprises. In these simple en-.
comiums we are sure we voice. the senti-
ment of the appreciative people Of Able
Vile city and the whole county.
SCHOOLS CLOSE.
Abbevile's graded school will close its
session next Thursday tomorrow and
teachers and scholars will have the needed
rest they all deserve. Under the efficient
management of Prof. Dick and his able
corps of teachers this school has been built
up to high standard, and its roll of pu-
pils largely increased, so that it Is to-day
in a most flourishing condition and may
we'll be the pride OF our city and her peo-
pie. :,
There is in the make up Of every school,
in every city and town always some
sskickers." Some who cannot, or will not,
be pleased at anything and in this Abbe-
vile is no exception. 1t always has and al
ways will take two sides to make and build
salient point being the cooperation Of pat
rons with the teachers, without which
there will always be trouble in the school,
no matter how jealous the teachers may be
in their work and how great the effort OF
trustees to do their best, yet we unhesitat-
ingly say with all this help, and without
the hearty and full cooperation OF patrons
with teachers and trustees all schools will
in great measure be failure.
This is like the truthful saying, "a. house
divided against itself cannot stand" The
same will fOrcefully apply to schools and
patrons.
The faint chime OF marriage bells is
heard in the near future, ringing their
brightest and most popular young ladies,
Have YOU read that fine address of ex-
u. S. Senator Frank B. Gary, delivered at
Due West on Memorial day? II you havn't
get the "big issue" of the Press and Ban
ner of last week and read it. Every young
man and old ones, too. for that matter,
should read it, as it is highly instructive
chaste and beautiful.

1t is now after II o'clock at night and
our good wife, mother-in-iaw and boys are
out on the back piazza watching the
eclipse of the moon and discussing wheth-
er 1t is a luminous orb within itself, or gets
it's light from the sun, and whether it is
passing through the shadow Of the earth,
or whether the earth Is between 1t and the
sun, or whether the comet has lost it's ap,
pendage, and whether or not the earth has
yet passed through It's tail. All In all they
have gotten us so mixed up that we don't
know whether We are sane or insane ITEM
poriarily.) So our readers will excuse
anything amiss In our notes of this week.
