some difference of opinion, not as

In almost every case where you hear

NEW REPAIR SHOP

Col. Ben H. Williams has broken
out in a new place. 1t doesn't make
any difference either where he breaks
out, because he will be there, where
ever it is. This time he commences
business on Church street where he
has opened a first class repair shop,
and where he is prepared to fix your
automobile, or any other animal. He
has two sons who are as good as he
is, and they are associated with him
in the new enterprise.
He is not only first class re-
pairer, but his shop is the place to
get a good job of painting. If your
automobile needs polishing up and
you want it to look as gooI as new,
it will pay you to see Big Ben, or the
BOYS.

r. M. HADDON RECEIVES
CONSCIENCE" MONEY

Right frequently the United States
treasury is the recipient Of what is
known as conscience" money and
sometimes in rather large amounts.
But it is a bit unusual in Abbevills
for such a thing to occur. Imagine
then the surprise which awaited Mr..
R. M. Haddon upon opening letter
received in Saturdays mail to find a
FIVE dollar bill pinned to a note bear
ing the words Coincidence Money
Taken from You in 1913"
Whether the misspelling Of con-
science was intentional upon the part
of the conscience-stricken individual
is not certain as the words and ad-
dress both were plainly printed in
capitals with pencil. Mr.. ,Haddon ID
not worrying about the spelling so
long as the five dollar bill is good
currency.

THE FISH MERCHANT

Dote didn't get up town Saturday
afternoon until late. The reason was
that he had two or three barrels of
good fish which he wanted to sell out,
or hide before brother Walter got to
town. He had no trouble to sell the
fish he said but it took some of his
customers so long to decide which
string of fish they would take that it
greatly delayed him. Walter got down
late but could find no evidence OF
vsh, but he was not fooled. He quiet
ly went home, and landed back at
Dote's early Sunday morning for
breakfast where he found the finest
plate of fish he has been the "'busy.
bee" for in a long time. They were
cooked on Mrs. Smiths new range
bought of w. A. Calvert & Sons
called the Champion, or as Dots calls
it, 1.-THE Champeen.'
