And the conventions n are too full of gab and gush. A room, t] the four walls of which are mirrors, is n not more delusive in its effects upon a its occupants,than a convention is up- \ on its members. They see themselves multiplied a thousandfold, and rejoice J 0 in the echoes of their own voices as if 0 the oracle of Clod were speaking to c them. u We need more home-staying andj u more faithful work along the lines of i v every-day living. We hurt the church ! ^ by over-much hauling of its members! around. We shake our eggs so much!,, much we addle them. L I ll A holy life is made up of a number k of small things; little woids, not elo- o quent speeches or sermons; littledeeds li nor miracles of battle, nor one great heroic act of mighty martyrdom, make t up the true Christian life.

All men wish to he sucr>pu(ifiil lirnnurnnu men hnf verw manv do not will to be. They are not willing to submit to (he necessary conditions of success. So In religion. We want more of the spiritofconpecration. We pray for it. And yet behind such prayers there is often a heart that has not willed to be more consecrated to God. It is unwilling to make the surrender and submit to the sacrifices of a consecrated life. It is not what we desire simply, but what we will to have on the conditions on which it is to be obtained, that God grants to us. To deliberately reject the evidence of any truth or fact is to do such violence to the mind that, If continued in, it will destroy the power to perceive the truth.

Very Respectfully, [0MB3 & 0. Jj ^ MM 4 p_n3MAM nnrnxrv u jji.tiii.rlii uujjuiui To Make (be Savannah Side Blossom as h Rose. Several years ago Mr. Julius Hartman came over to this country from Germany and found his home In Atlanta. Since tbat time, in- J,t*m duced by the glowing descriptions of the South given hy him, numbers of German ; farmers have decided to come and cast their lot with him. For two years Mr. Hartman -'J I has been looking about to And a place which ' ^ would be a suitable location for them. The decision has at last been made. Several ;J> thousand acres of land bave been purchased in the western part of Abbeville county, la our State. The land lies along the Savannah river ana i?i crossed by the Seaboard Air Line " sj railroad. It Is called by the Hartman Colony Jg Company which has purchased it, "The Golden spot of South Carolina." The company have already gone upon the J; land and divided it out into forms consisting , 53 of 20, SO and 100 acre tracts. These tracts tbey propose to sell to the persons who are to come over on such terms that each man can parchase for himself a home. Roads and streets cave also been constructHd. The wood land Lias been divided and a portion given to each tract ot lend. In addl- ?3 tlon to that the town of "Iiartman" is being laid out. In It ample provisions have been made to secure sites for churches, school houses, town hails, etc. A tine piece of wood land containing a beautiful mineral spring Is being converted Into a park. In a word ;Sja everything is being done to make the place t'V oue of pleasure and prosperity to the colonists. An agent is already in the land of Germany getting up the necessary number of vJs immigrants who will be ready to come Just as soon as plans can be completed. In a few \ mouths Mr. iiartman himself will Join his agent in that country and bring the settlers over. These families who are to come are an Industrious, lotelllgeut, well-to-do class. xLtucu uiitii tvut ue uuie iu smn uui wuu uib home paid for and with every convenience 3 tor farming. But we naturally Inquire what do these foreigners propose to do. The company Is ready to answer the questlou for us. They have a purpose In bringing these settlers among us and they set out that purpose from the very beginning Mr. Hartman says, "I have but one idea, after getting the necessary conveniences in cllmato, etc., and that is to find a place suitable In every way tor raising the sunar beei.'' This he says Is a very profitable business in Germany and will prove 2 more prosperous In this country. These sugar beets are manufactured Into sugar and besides raising the beet the company propose to build a factory for the purpose ofmanu facturlng tbem. In Germany alone there are 405 of these factories, while in this country there are only 9. This taken together with the fact that in the former country a high tax has to be paid on all sugar manufactured while In this country no tax has to be paid i renders the manufacture of the product into sugar iu this country even more profitable than there. To this industry alone these farmers expect to give their entire attention, and there seems to be no doubt on the part of their leaders but that tbe plan must succeed. Mr. Iiartman has much to say in regard i to the South alter announcing that he will brim; those Immigrants among us. He commends the country for tbe magnificent strides It has made sluce the late civil war. [n 1MJ5 he says she was without a dollar, and sluce that time every tli'ng has been against her prosperity, but slowly and surely she has again taken a prominent stand among the leadins States of our country through her splendid natural advantages. In concluding we find the lollowlDg: "Briefly stated the South has tbe greatest future in this country." Abbeville county feels proud thatout of all .. ! the noilihhind h part of her domain has been | settled as the "Garden Spot" for these settlers. > We hope much from them. We are always ' ;'%i i ready to welcome honest, industrious, liberty- . 1 loving citizens among our people, especially when they promise to add wealth, Importance, and new industries to our country, and we will welcome the settlers given us by the Hartman Colony Company. 1 ... ;::J NOTICE! i M . - THE ANiXOAL MEETING J OF THE County Board of Commissioners WILL BE HELD ON >-S Monday, November 3d, 189(i. 1 A LI- PKRSOXS having claims ngalnst the ??
