Square Improved

Magdelene Square this week re-
ceived some excellent improve
ments. A pretty hedge was planted
all around the square and along
the walks through the square. AT
the southeast and southwest cor
Iners large tree was planted. In
fhe course of a few months this
will no doubt be one of the pretti-
est places in Abbeville, especially
when the fountain is turned on.
We earnestly hope that the city
fathers will see their way clear to
do this during the summer months
if not longer.

A Novelty in Cooking Stoves

Mr.. Chas. Corrodi, of this city
has secured the local agency for
the Century Coal Oil Burner which
Is the Acme of perfection in the
way of cooking stove and which
should receive the hearty conmen-
datlon OF the housewives of Able
vile and vicinity. 1t is very easy
to install and its operation is cx-
cecdin&ly simple. Generates gas
IN one minutc after lighting and in
four or five minutes the stove is
hot and ready for use. This
burne: can be installed in any or
binary stove and is safer than the
usual run of oil stoves, being non
explosive. In the summer time
quick hot fire can he had at meal
time by use of the Century, and
then turned off, thus eliminating
the necessity of waiting for coal
or wood fire to burn out. In the
winter an incredible amount Of
heat can be had in a much shorter
space of time than by the Use of
either coal or wood. The utmost
simplicity has been employed in
It's construction. 1t is made on
scientific principles, being built
of heavy iron and steel and should
last for years. 1t is distinctly
new departure in cooking stoves
and the Progress heartily recon-
mends it to the public for It's labor
saving qualities.
