Heath <?Co.,*re now open- a lng a suberb stock ol ladies goods under the T New Hotel, of which they give notice In our advertlsiug columns. t A hurried glance at their store room yesterday convinced us that they had an Immense c stock of the prettiest goods that has ever v beeu brought to Abbeville, and they inform us in their advertisement that their goods v will be sold very low. The sight of such a j stock of goods in Abbeville is something u worth going to see. Their store will be opened Monday, when they will begin to dispense u great bargains to our people. We welcome Messrs. Heath A Co., to our g town, and trust that they may find this a g{ f leasant and a profitable place to do business. t would pay buyers to come from long dls- j, tances to examine their stock. Their goods f, and their bargains will draw additional trade a to Abbeville. Don't Plant Western Corn. r< If you would succeed Id any business you must look to practical methods to bring the F best results. No crop that grown Is so sue- tl ceptlble to the influences of good or bad seed K as coru, and Mr. Isaac A. Kellar, one of the h most prosperous farmers In Abbeville Cour.- b ty, offers seed which he knows to be all right. Don't go crazy and plant the wrong seed, ? when good seed can be had. If Mr. Kellar ? gets rich planting corn, why can't you, at P least keep out of the poor house doing the d same ? B t< ? ? ti Another of Abbeville** Worthy Hon* Ready for Bintine**. tj Mr. S. A. Vlsnnska, Ph. U? has graduated ti In pharmacy at Newton, N. J., and Is now on v the lookout lor a suitable city In which to c< enter business. His fine talent and a long sea- n son of application, has pre-eminently qualified p him for the high and honorable position 01 li pharmacuettst, nnd we have ho doubt that his * business tact will bring abundant success to b him. tl 1 t; BIhs Oar Boys. Mr. Walter Vlsanska Is off to Newark to u attend a course of study in short-hand writ ? lug. Waller, like all the Abbeville boys, is u ambitious to hold a worthy place among the d people of the country, ana will no doubt u make such progress in the short-hand writing tl as to be eligible to au enviable place. Hoeition.

CITIZEN. Architects. Tbe architect, who is to submit plans for a new college building at Due West, is now on w tbe ground, and will meet tbe building com- a, rait tee. He comes from Washington, D.

Black, of Antrevllle, was In o town last week buying wire fencing with hi which to enclose another pasture. He says <*1 every farmer ought to have two pastures?one ^ for winter and one tor summer. He thinks, h too, that every larmer ought to raise his own n corn. If the farmers would plant euougb sc grain for their own use, and then let the cot- P< ton crop be a clear money orop, the country m -would be on the certain ami sate road to pros- I D? perlty. ' Township Board of Assessors ought to 8' send In their papers at once. Auditor Brad , t ley wishes to copy the list of poll tax payers for publication. Mr. Bradley believes in exact justice to all, and will publish bit poll liBt in the hope that you will help him to make _ the list complete. If every cltizeu will re- ~ port the missing names, the Auditor will do Ills whole duty to f.he public and to the public sohools.

It is considered thut Judge McGowan's health has been greatly improved by the trip ?Indeed that he is convalescent, and onl> walls the recovery of his strength to have his usual strength again. Mr. J. M. Baker, senior member of the firm of Baker, Matthews -t Chambers, was in town last Friday. He is one of the leading citizens of Lowndesville, and is Vlce-presl- " dent of the Lowndesville bank. We would not be surprised if tho people send him to the Leglslatuie next year. A careful scanning of the list will ahow that there are many names missing in every township. The Auditor is not expected 10 R know everybody, and he is more or less dependent on the people for help to completu hls list. The best thing a man can do Is to subscribe bt for hts county paper. If he doesn't like the tr Press and Banner, then let him subscribe for Ci the Medium. Every household should have rl one of these papers. E Mb. I. A. Kei.lar has corn which he rals- ?
