Editor Bress and Banner: The town Coblenz, when approached from the south side, presents a choppy, unpleasantly, irregular appearance. A large apartment house, seven stories high, standing alone on a block, holding in its expanse of bare sides waiting for other houses to come and nestle up beside it; an empty lot being filled up by rubbish and garbage; plank fences to keep the paths from running across the would-be blocks. All of It speaks, or rather shouts, of prosaic modernism. But when one gets thru this part of the town to the river bank the place becomes Interesting, though still modern. There is a little ferry boat that carries people back and forth across the ri"er, but as the ferry boat ride costs five pfennigs, most of the traffic goes on across the pantoon bridge above, where the price is something less than half. I knew that the river boats went from Coblenz on,up the Rhine, and was cu-ious to know how they would ,get over, under or otherwise by this stout looking little bridge. It Is the simplest thing in tne world, nowever, wnen you once see it. The bridge works on, the plan of the jointed snakes, for which the mountains of North Carolina are so famous. "When a ship comes along the bridge drops outv a couple of its joints and lets them float down the stream out of the way. As soon as the ship is past the joints come snorting and puffing back, and are not silent until they are peacefully settled in their old place, filling up the gap left by them in the bridge. On the other side, about 350 feet above the river is a fort, Ehrenbreilstein, which, like all the rest of the strongholds on the Rhine,was in 1899 destroyed by the French. It is ready for another storm, however, and is strong enough to keep the natural enemies of the Germans busy for sometime, I suppose. But a perfectly good fort snouia De 01 service w urne ui peace its well fls when the passage of Janus is open; and so Ehrenbreilstein is used as a lookout point, and for fifty pfennigs, one can get from here a remarkable good view of the Rhine, coming in to view from among its vineclad hills and flowing by; of the Mosel which joins the Rhine here; of the stretch of level valley below, the confluence of the rivers, and of a horizon of blue wood-capped hills. Baedecker says that the statue of William I, standing at the meeting point of the two streams, looking down the Rhine, is the greatest statue to one man in existence. The equestrain statue alone is forty-two feet tall, and the stone pedestal and half circle foundation are in proportion, and harmonize witfl it. Only we should see it from the distance of a quarter of a mile to appreciate this harmony. From Coblenz down the valley broadens considerably, making a level stretch of land favorable for potatoes and grain. But the German women, as if they did not have enough to do digging potatoes and cutting hay, are busy here also with making brick. The soil here is only one or two feet thick, and underlying It is a bed of gravel from which the brick is made. The gravel is mixed with sand and lime and then moulded into brick, which are laid up on racks to dry. I think everybody likes A minufa onH nrofrth > WArlrmon IAS 9ivp a UiiUUW uuu nww*4 w*. There is something indescribably attractive about work when some one else is doing it. It was Carlyle, I think, who so aptly said, "the miracle of human toil," thus explaining why we like to watch it. The women, or the men either for that matter, for you must know that thei. are also some men in Germany who work, have bits of plank large enough to hold a brick. On one of these bit of board a bottomless box is set, filled with mortar and packed. Then the box is lifted off and the board with its brick is set up to dry. This industry is carried on for miles and miles along the bank. Before we get to Bonn we pass the factory where the Apollinaris bottles aie made. The springs are also near. The water, possessing alkaline mineral properties, is reinforced by artificial means before bottling, so I was told by a man who is in the employ of the bottling establish Ulolibt Bona is the birthplace of Buthaven. The little house in the heart of the city is caiefully d )ted by my g de, Carolus Baedeck MBHMMHMHHMMHnai "if y it in Abl studied of those Children r ||l We T mj For Fit, m We 1 young a SHOES!

At any rate, although I have never seen a musician's ear trumpet in my life, much less investigated a musician's letters, yet the array of curiosities in the But haven house did not tempt me, and I did not go in. Cologne is another one of the old towns on the Rhine. This one we hear of from its product long before we realize that there is also a town that bears the same name. The cologne water is to be found everywhere, in flasks, bottles, demijohns and any other kind of receptacle that fancy can invent, or caprice demand. It was in Cologne that I was accosted by a novel sort of street beggar. He wanted ten pfennigs and of course there is nothing remarkable about that. But when I told him "nit ferstay" and looked at him blankly, he was not in the least nonplussed, but started off with his story in French. (Think of a land where even the beggar must be polyglots in order to live!) When he said "panore misirable," I had to laugh, and consequently could not pretend any more that I didn't understand. Besides I am sure that the worthless scamp would have driven me to being a Turk or an Indian by his simpie Srocess of elimination. He was German, ut had learned a couple of sentences in French, and no doubt in all other fashionable languages, in order to be able to beg from any one. He offered to show me his sore for ten pfennigs, and taking me for a hard case, came down to five and Anally to two. But a man who could speak several languages and had a perfectly good sore on his arm was already fairly well up in his profession, I concluded. And add to that his voice was perfect?a voice ail broken up, and soggy and oozy and woozy with tears or numan woe. i marKea tnac beggar down as one of the great artists I have met. But there is the Everlasting Dome to see. Standing in the middle of a large open Elace in the heart of the city is this celerated cathedral of Cologne. By a curious effect of perspective, the colossal towers in front seem to lean markedly toward each other, so great is their height. ' The tiny spires and arches that decorate these towers in rich abundance, when seen from a distance, give one the impression of so many tapers reaching upward. I think these towns, with their spires capping them, are magnificently perfect. Within <the building is no less impressive. From the tall windows look down the saints and horoes of the church, and the mighty, massive columns inspires in us a sort of awe. Now all the other things in Cologne and otherwhere on the Rhine, the things that I did not see, as well as the things that I saw and did not write (not to mention the things which I wrote and did not see), they are all written in Baedecker's book.

At ft meeting of the Abbeville pastors, it was decided to hold the usual Thanksgiving,service in the Baptist church at eleven o'clock, November 24th. Rev. Mr. Pratt, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, was selected by .the brethien to preach the sermon. An offering will be taken and divided equally among the churches for such use as the officers of the churches think best. This was the plan followed last year, and it worked well. It does away with the necessity of providing envelopes representing the various churches. It will be recalled that this servicc was held in the A. K. P. church last year; the sermon was preached by Eev. Henry Stokes of the Methodist Church. As this service is one that each congregation has an equal interest in, it is proper that it be held in a different church each year. liellect on the blessings of the past year, and surely you will find much to prompt you to spend one hour Thanksgiving Day iL. 1_!_ ..C T_T * whntn nil Ill tut?

WHEN HER BACKACHES A Woman Finds A'l Her Energy and i Ambition SJippiDg Away. Abbeville women know how tbe aches and pains that come when the kidneys fail make life a burden. Backanhe. hin nains. headaches, dizzy spells, distressing uriDary troubles, all tell of sick kidneys and warn you of the stealthy approach of diabetes, dropsy and Bright^s disease. Doan's Kidr>ey Pills permanently cure all these disorders. Can Abbeville sufferers desire stronger proof than this woman's words? Mrs. L. H. Seel, 415 S. Main St., Anderson, S. C., says: "For the past year or more, I suffered quite a good deal from kidney trouble. The kidney secretions were too frequent in passage at times and I was also subject to pains across the small of my back. I always felt dull and languid and little like doing my work. I us-ed many remedies, but none gave me as much benefit as Doan's Kidney Pills. I do not hesitate to recommend this valuable remedy to any one having kidney complaint." For sale by all dealers.
