JS'c llt withstanding tlie incessant wet weather du ins June ami July the fanners managed r- keep t heir crops moderately free from wen ami grass, and since the wot weather con si .r tlie seasons have been very favorable to fruitful development. On yotcrday I was through that part of u ? ritory known as tlie Nation.

Willi pertiai only a few exceptions the people living tlie are widely noted for their civility, gcntlli and hospitality characteristic of the tine (.'si oliniiin. The ladies perhaps arc still mo noted for their unsurpassed beauty and big ly accomplished traits of character. Said i intelligent- gentleman living near Atlanta me the other day: "I have traveled all ov the .Southern and Western States as well (! other purls and I have nowhere met mo jr'highly accomplished ladies, matrons ai ' maidens, than in that part of Abbeville cou u ! ly known as the Nation. They are models feminine accomplishment aud beauty." As yet there is no perceptible improvemc ir- making any way i!i Lowmlesville, "the sev ii. hill city," as it lias lately become knov ii. Near the depot, about one mile from thee ve town, there Is a handsome brick building I ve I insr reared intended for a business house. / So- along from tlie depot up to Ihe main pub i|. road fronting the new Baptist church tov ue lots are laid oil" and will at no distant, day jo improved. Here is the place where the to\ k o! will be built.
