At the urgent solicitation J of numerous friends he has consented to | statu! lor reelection and if so honored, will ? i serve the people to I lie best ability, regardless 1 of lear, affection or favor. 6 Mr. John Austin, one of the best farmers in | the Sal .ida section, was iu our city last Thurs_ da.^ on Dusluess. | Mr. John L.

Moore, of Ninety-Six, was in | our city last Monday, seemingly as Jolly and - I happy as ei-er. We honestly believe he would : like 10 come back to Abbeville to live, and , ' who can say he may not? He and his famliy 118 I would certainly receive a hearty welcome >n* from hosts of friends. The supper given by the ladles of the Abbeet* ! vllie Graded School last Friday evening was e'r|a success, despite the unfavorable weather. ; The receipts amounted to about $10. ;* I Mr. Lane and wife, of Rutherlordtou, will Jl*|make Abbeville their home, at least f?r[ awhile. Mr. Lane is a "hotel man in every sense of the word, and will have charge of the Miller hotel, and will spare no effort to make |y, his guest comfortable. We welcome him to ce our thriving city. nt The "gold fields" on and around "Little y. Mountain'' are opening up here, and there en and everywhere, aud according to some fine prospecting done the past week, some of our neighbors may be mlllionares before tiiey know it. Several rich veins have recently been found which promise a rich and abund, antyeild. Our old historic couoty Is full ol ! gold?the only trouble being to get hold of it. \w Au interesting and growing Industry in our city Is that ol poultry raising. It has already lsl grown to be a noted business as we have a number of "Fanciers" who are raising "thoroughbred birds" irom the finest strains In America, each of whom have their "pet HI birds" which they respectively think "the es best. Our "t-'anclers" are buying from, and ?e. shipping to all parts of country, north, ea6t, id south and west. Let us have another poultry show?what say the association. The "Fire Company" will have a meeting next Friday night. Saleday passed ort quietly, a large crowd in town?but not much trading, and comparatively light sales. We think now all will settie down 10 business, as the time has come v" when each one should look after their own Individual Interest. !t" In the absence of MrR. Wallace, Miss Ayiette Chalmers presided at the organ last Sunday, and by her skillful touch brought I out Its sweetest tones.

Press ley has bought out the mer- ! cantile Interest of Mr. Thomas Thomson and I can now be found at the stand formerly occu- | pled by Mr. Thomson. Is . n A Guess. ' Two lads with book-satchels strapped to their backs stood in the comer I of a noisv. bustline street waiting for a of car, and meanwhile laughing and talking merrily. Suddenly one of tbetn thoughtlessly sang out, "come here, , v and I'll pick you up," and the other, looking to fee what had brought forth the rude remark, saw a poorly-dressed , old woman just struggling up from the muddy crossing where she had fallen, 10 and watching anxiously and fearfully ,e the whirling carts passing by. He was at her side in a moment. ( "Let me help you, madam," he said ( r. kindly, taking her arm and lifting a , basket that stood beside her. She gave him a grateful look, but , did not speak until they both stood ] ?r safe on the sidewaik. n "Can I put you on a car, madam?" e? the boy asked. D The woman's lips quivered. "You , u are very kind," she said, "and I thank ( S. you ; but I'll just rest here a minute, , and then I'll have to go back over that | crossing," shivering at the thought , of the tiresome confusion. "You see," shecontinued, lifting the m cover of the big basket, "some of the clothes slipped out and got mudd.v, , so I must take them home and do LUC 111 \J ? V.1 | I- She looked so weary aud discouraged that the lad felt there was something j else to do. I "You were on your way to deliver | them?" he questioned. >r "Yes ; to Judge Monroe's." "Ah," said he, "that't near where I j d live. I'll deliever the clean things for you, if you like, and you can carry the others back home aud do them over." a- Her poor old eyes brigbteued, but , still it did not seem possible that the { handsome, well-dressed lad would do j this service for her, a poor old washera woman. , "Where do you live?" he asked. 50 "On the corner of Quay street?a ( long ways from here." "Yes," says he, "I know." . And presently she found herself in a j street car, passage paid to Quay street, and a silver dollar in her hand, "to pay a, for the bother of doing the clothes ] 5c over," the lad had whispered. Her . eyes were full of tears, but she had not , been so happy in a good while. When \ the conductor nassed her. she said. * "Do you know who that boy i9 that lg put me on the car?" lt "Oh, yes," he replied, "that's Dr. Seymour's sou. He's always doing a es helpful turn to some one." "Bless him?" the old woman said to es herself. "Bless him! He's a kind laddie, and he'll be a grand man some day." 81 Meanwhile the lad was in another street car with the basket of clothes, which he delivered with a merry smile and low bow to Mrs. Monroe, who u laughed as she said, "Why, Frank, dear what does this mean? Are you running a laundry?" j He told her of the misfortune of the poor old laundress, and made a graphic s. picture of her fear of muddy crossings, >y the resuit of which was that Mrs. Monroe resolved that henceforth she >e would pay the car-fare back and forth for the poor old soul. "To think that a boy should be more : ir thoughtful than a woman of my age," !d was her regretful thought. "Bless the n laddie! He is laying the foundation of ,y a noble manhood." The worn old laundress and the arisid I tocralic Mrs. Monroe, you see, were ?v j both making the same prophecy. U ! m . II j j" I Treatment or Acute Ktieuiuiitisiii. For external applications in acute i is. articular rheumatism, there are uoue 1 u' | more efficacious than mustard poultices. The use of these should be | commenced at ouce, as soon as the 0. j join ts become painful. If only a s?maU m ; number are affected, poultices can be 1 j applied to each simultaneously, or < e*;in succession until all are treated. When new joints become involved, h | renewed applications are demanded ; in in fact, the disease should be ''from" g. one atl'ected portion to another. The I poultices may be applied twice daily, land after their use the inflamed joints ;h ; should be wrapped in dry cotton wool, I onr) fhon Kon.larvQ/l ti??nflxr an H ' v auu i u v/ u u^iiuat^uu Utuuj uim ? t3 * * v?7 's!witli flannel.

" A woman who had lost her mother in early childhood said to a friend : "Yes, I know she was always suffering, and now, when I can realize what she had to bear, I think of her with pity and tenderness ; but the effect of the fault- finding and injustice cannot be effaced. It embittered my childhood. When I hear others speak of blessed memories, it cuts me to the heart that I have no memory of motherly, loving words. ' You knew her so well that it is no disloyalty to speak of it to you. I remember one day?you were in the room, too when she raged at Joey till I i oumrvt t ud the little, sobbing fellow and I J carried him away; and unhappily, he remembers) it and has spoken of it many times." An orpahn girl lived for some years in a house where there was continual nagging and fault-finding from mother and father, sisters and brothers, fjbe had spent a few weeks with a gentle motherly woman, and on the last day of her visit, as she sat with the loving arms about her, she said, vj looking up with a pitiful appeal in the sensitive face, "Oil, you don't know g( how sorry I am to leave you. I'm sorry for many reasons, but most of all because your voice is so sweet and soft. Some voices?bard, angry voices?seem to go through and through me. I ^ dread, I dread to hear them." ^ A vivid recollection of a visit to a summer resort is of an irritable, invalid mother and her unhappy, harassed boy. iShe nagged at him in the dining-room till the poor child lost all appetite. One morning ttie latner came down alone; and explained that mother was 0 not well enough to come to breakfast. Whereupon the boy, with child-like frankness, exclaimed, "Oh, I'm eo glad." Then, seeing his father's reproving glance, he explained: "You know papa, I'm not glad shesick ; but ?but I do enjoy my breakfast so much more when she's not here." The woman was an egotist. Her own ailments were her continual theme, and the comfort of her husband and child was wholly disregarded. "I think mamma doesn't like me, auntie," sa'd another sensitive child. 'Ob, if she would only sometimes seem satisfied with me, and speak to me as you do to Nellie! I used to try so hard to please her, but it isn't any good, for no matter what I do she always thinks it is wrong." The Truth 1m Best. "Lost your situation ? How did it happen, ray boy ?" "Well, mother, you'll say it was all m my own carelessness, I suppose. I was dusting the shelves in the store, lud trying to hurry, up matters, 1 sent i whole lot of fruit jars smashing to the floor. Mr Barton scolded and said he wouldn't stand my blundering ways any longer, so I packed up ind left." His mother looked troubled. "Don't mind, mother. I can get . mother situation soon, I know. But what shall I say if they ask me why I left the last one ?" "Tell the truth, James, of course; you wouldn't think of anything else?" "No; I only thought I would keep it to myself. I'm afraid it may stand g, iu my way." "It never stands in one's way to 3o right, James, even though i may seem to sometimes." He found it harder than he expected to get a situation. He walked and inquired, until one day something really seemed to be waiting for him. A young looking mau, in a clean, bright store, newly started, was in want af an assistant. Things looked very _ attractive, and so neat and dainty, that James, fearing that a boy who had a record for carelessness might not be wanted there, felt sorely tempted to :onceal the truth. It was a long dis- ] tance from the place where he had sp been dismissed, and the changes were ^ slight for a new employer hearing the si truth. But he thought better of it, ua ind frankly told exactly the circum- ^ stances which had led to his seeking di the situation. nil "I must say I have a great preferjnce for having neat-banded, careful Th people about me," said the man, good- ow humoredly, "but I have heard that those who know their faults, and are mi honest euough to own them, are likely of to mend them. Perhaps the very luck you have had may help you to learn to na be more careful." an Indeed, sir, I'll try very hard," said James, earnestly. so "Well, I always think well of a boy evi who tells the truth, even though it may seem to go against him?good morning, uncle. Come in, sir." He spoke to an elderly man who was 2utering the door, Jumes, turning, ; found himself face to face with his late re1 employer. flo "Oh!" he said, looking at the boy, 'are you hiring this young chap, thi Fred ?" va "I haven't yet, sir." I "Well, I guess you might try him. [f you cau only," he added, laughing, wi 'keep him from spilling all the wet i joods, and smashing all the dry ones, toe you'll find him reliable in everything I ilse. If you find you don't like him, I'll be willing to give him another trial 5 Myself." du "If you think that well of him," 200 ;aid the young man, "Isball keep him I nyself." "Ob, mother," said James, going th( home, after having made an agreement ovi ivitli his new employer, after such a w" recommendation from his old one, wf 'you were right, as you always are. It 8oi was telling the truth tbat got it for an me. What if Mr. Barton bad come in 10 [here just after I had been telling some thing that wasn't exactly so !" "Truth is always best, said his mother; the truth, the whole truth, and i nothing but the truth." l0^ m m at) Eearly and Late EaNterft. yo Easter Sunday cannot happen ear- b0 lier than March 22, or later than April ^ 25 but between these two dates it has a ^ range of 35 days. At the time of the els Council of Nice, 325, A. D., it was ] agreed by the representatives present 1 that from that time forward Easter ?p should fall on the first Sunday after the full moon occuring on or next hg March 21; or, in others words, "on sei the first Sunday after the first full t moon after the sun crosses the line. i Since the above arrangement was sii adopted by the great ecclesiastical couucil referred to, Easter has fallen j March 22 and on every date between au that and April 25, but it is only after as long intervals of time that it 'occurs on its extreme dates. In 188G Easter fell on April 25, its latest possible date, au t event which had not before occured \ during the present century, and which ] tirill iw\t it rfo S n /\nnui* 11 p I i I thu tinrltinr t\f 1 win uwi attain u^ui hiiv.ii iiil o|7i lug ui j 1943.
