Civic Improvements. Mayor J. L. Mc Millon and the city Council deserve tbe well done of all the good people of Abbeville. So many and to vailtd have been the Improvements that lndlvudals, catching tbe contagion, have wllhlu the past twelve months, literally transformed our pnbllc square. Most modern glass fronts an now to be seen where a year ago there we e the bare brick walls. Wooden lljors are fast giving away to tiling, and the Interior of a great many buildings has been made entirely new. The most recent of these Improvements may be ?een in the stores of C. A MUford and Co It Is safe to say that tbere Is nothing hand somer In the State, and those who might b. considered capable Judges say that they bave never seen anything any*rbere to suppass II. Theeatlre fixtures are of solid mahogany and French plate glass. The shelving it. made of plate glass 3 8 to 7-8 inches In thick ness and set In mahogany or marble. The show cases and soda water tables are ol Mahogany and p ate glass. The fixtures are decorated throughout with brass trimmings. Three sets of lights Illumine the whole, whlie those along side ol the bhelvlng are In beau tiful Japanese lanterns. Everything In the store In the way of fixture is a *b?w case, and is as handsome as mouey could buy.
