"It is wontlerful how the Lord ?!eos take care of us?wonderful!" ami little Mrs. Fransell gave the dre.-s wnist on which she was workituran em ]>hatic shake l?y way of oftirmation. "Why, I was left a widow more thau eight years ago, and I can see how He has led nie and taken care of ine every year and day since." "f suppose you have done something toward* the care-taking yourself?" said Mrs. Lyte, who knew somewhat of the energy pent up in the slight j figure of her dressmaker. 'Certainly," said Mrs. Fransell: "I didn't sit down with my hands folded and expect my bread and butter to j ? - *?'? i?ah /Ii/I T ovnaid mi' ! l'Oli:e IU UlC , 1IWX Uiu A v.^^wv ?.j , friends to give it to me. I've worked hard, I tell you; not many idle hours 'nor much vacation for me in these eight years. But I have lived comfortably, and have given my daughter a good education, and I know I never could have done it if the Lord had not helped me in every way and at every time." "I am sure you could not have; worked so hard and kept a? fresh and cheerful without His help," said Mrs. Lyte. "O dear, no," said the dressmaker, her deft lingers arranging a graceful fall of lace as she talked; ,-but do you know there are a trood many people, I work for?Christian people, too who I laugh at me if I say anything about it? 'The Lord helping you to sew, Mrs. I Fransell; how perfectly ridiculous!' I they say. Jiut I know He does. When my husband died I knew J j should have to take care of myself and my little girl. There wasn't a thing that I knew how to do that would bring me in auy money. I hated to sew, and I didn't do it very well, of course. But I made up my mind that that was the thing for me t<>| do, so I set myself to learn how. At) first I went out as a seamstress : then ; I went for a year to a dressmaker just to learn how to put things together, imil to do them the best wav : then 1 learned to cut and lit. "Mrs. Lyte, there was many a time when I was dreadfully discouraged. I have prayed to the Lord often to help me cut a garment right, and make a dress fit well, and I knew He did help me. It is all owing to His help that I have got where I am now, as busy as I can he all the time, and people seem pretty well satisfied with my work. 0. yes indeed," she went on, "that is just my idea of a heavenly Father. He knew 1 had to work for my living, and He knew I was doing the veiy hesl I could, hut 1 couldn't do it all hy myself, so accord luy lo j-iis promise ne supp<ieu mv need. Vou know He says if we lack wisdom we may ask of God. I wanted wisdom to learn the dressmaking trade, and I askeil for it and it-" "Yes," said Mrs. Lyte, "I believe that is all true ; it is Bible teaching and it is Christian philosophy. If we could all of us receive the things of God'as little children,' we would be better and happier." " 'Take it to the Lord in prayer,' that is mv uiotlo for everything," said Mrs. Fiai.sell. ''JJut I was working for a lady a lew weeks u<r>), she is a member <?t my ehureli, too, and I sunEosed she was a Christian, ller little oy was naughty and she reproved him very sharply, and they had quite a tussle. Afterward she said t:> me: 'I ani at my wit's end about that boy. H won't mmd,ami I lose my patience and mv temper with him.' I ventured to say to her 'Don't you ever take it to the Lord in pray* rV I should never think of trying to manage a child by my own wits, nor myself either, lor that matler ' "JNo/sue saui, "i coin uiiiik i ever did pray about it especially. I ask God's guidance in a general way, of course.' I asked her if she never prayed with her little l> >v, and she said : 'I hear hint say his prayers every night, of couise.' That is as much as a great many Christian.* know about prayei, I'm afraid. And, Mrs. Lyte, I don't olien tell my own views or experience about it, for when ] do people look at me as if there was something wrong with tny head." "Nevertheless. Mrs. Fraiiseil, you do tell it in your cheerful face and in the conscientious work you do," said Mrs. Lyte, "'and I suppose that is . really the best way to 'Shine with a pure clear light,' you in your little corner, and I in mine." Inward IVllCf. There are persons who school themselves toexternal composure, maintaining a calm, u 11 rufiled exterior amid all the disturbing circumstances of life. The power to do this is frequently a great ad van tagu to its possessor. He controls himself, and he avoids ninny iuenutious acts and unpleasant circumstances. Jiut this external calmness may be illusive. There are persons v? ho maintain this aspect of quietude when they have very little true inward rest. They control their feelings for the time, but the tumult aud the storm i-.wp within. and they have 110 rest to ?o~ ? their soul*. Very different is the condition of those who have the inward peace of Clod : whose hearts are filled with the deep content, the abiding rest, which is the portion of the son! centered in (iod, and free from all the tumult and disturbance ofa restless and disordered world. The storm may rage without, but there is peace within. The hurricane may roar, but the soul which has found refuge in Christ and has built upon the Everlasting Rock knows no ill and fears no dauger There is not merely the appearanee ol calmness and composure, but tht calmness is real, the rest is genuine the composure is not pretended. It b an inner calm such as the world knows not, neither can comprehend. f J111* If 11 f 111 ? SI f I f 1115 r =" = = < 2 :ri- = = 52*<^= = * ' = > i ii r ^iistfiiriiwrfii i? i In i?i i ?i I i azl M !

Moral himI KplixioiiM Centre. There always omen a timoin the Hititory of fivnrv Nuri'.n. Stato. City or town wheu "Prog rtHK" miiHt bo the watchword, or futo tho inevitable result. Wo are prond to write that Abbeville bus some time since aroused to her position and thrown aside many tiling s which havo impeded her progress heretofore, and that to-day we are moving finely along. Never in the history of our to?vr. havo we been aroused to tho pos? nibilition which lie before us. We are wide awake on educational interests which we consider the most important of all. Strolling up main street many fine and imposing dwelling*. Uwdh and beautiful yards greet the eye ; but the greatest sight which greets the eye is a largo, magniticent ten thousand dollar ($10,000) brick bnildimr, which is the Abbeville high school. A school so much needed and one that will not be excelled by any of its kind iu the state. Every one is in t<-re*tect in tne tcnooi mm it i? ?, uuuuiug ?uu will he a school in standing, that auy in South Caroliua may covet T;tke advantage of the present and send your children : better come and live here and get tuition -J'ree." Next we have two lines of Railroad which jjive us access to all parts of tho country. Charleston uow is only a few hours ride, Atlanta is our next door neighbor. New York, Baltimore and points North are now comparilively a few miles distant. Further we are ctill looking with high hope for the G. C. & N. It. It. shops. Abbeville is the choise of the railroad men, and we are willing lo do all we can to have their bopee and ours realized. We are not asleeo, new industries are in view, more buildings to be erected and affairs in general ftro looking up. To day we have more ap plicants for dwellings than wo can supply, and just here, we would urge that evory one who has a good building lot, build a neat little cottage on it, and a renter will not be wauted. A citizen last wcek had eight applicants for a little cottage he bad to rent, and conid have rented eiyht more if he bad had them. Tbb> looks Hkebiiriuess. A word to men who bavo capital to invest. Cast jour lot among us, build nic^ little cottages aud reap a tine little interest ou your money. We have enough "negro" cabins already what we we m-ed is teat little cottages. Turning to the industries of our to.vn we would notice (J. I*' Hammond it Co'h shoe aud '? Th..u hiivi! alxn ?. tauvard in UHL LiUf?r? latiui y, # connection with tbtir shoe, barne?H and lea'.hor establishment. Thiy give employment to twenty or twenty-five workmen, aud hre turning out a fine tirade of work. 'J he capacity of tbeir shoe n-acbioe is 7i pair* per dty but at pre*eut they are only turning out 100 pairs per week. Then there in the oil mill which works a great quantity of Meed thereby giving a good price for cotton feed. \Ve have also three large ginneries, tho latest improved, which do fine work. Farmers can bring their sei-d cotton to town and sell everything here, and Have the trouble of hauling it J K/.vf.rHl mileH. They do fast and good work. We cannot forget the two line newspaper plants which gives employment to a hosts of printers, the Press A- Banner and Medium. No comment is needed upon these two papers. Again, we have good brick-yard*, coal and wood yards, lumber yards, machine shops, wood shops. However we are not what we wish to be in any of them and persons wishing to come here can by selecting a good line do well. One thing we have not got yet and some- J times very much needed, -a good hardware store," and especially a good "hook store." Let somo one establish the above named pressing needs of our town. Having a host of cotton buyerB in the fall Abbeville is a good cotton market and pays tip top prices. Those who bavo gone to other markets ate coming back and they will always liud us O. KFurther, we bavo two good hotels and a number of flue boardinR bouses, you can always j?et plenty to eat Jji Abbeville and servod in first clan* style. Tben comes our nvery ami sale stables. We are tru'y ahead on this* line. For fine turnouts and fine stock Abbeville cannot be downed ; and as many mules are sold here as any town to its size. We would not forget to mention the list of I our merchants of which wo are proud. For close buying, "and this means close selling" | we are up with any. In general merchandise. White Bros., 0. P.
