Yc DUTY IN SMALL THINGS. Our Materinl anil Spiritual Welfare A Heeled Thereby. Dr. J. Lowrle Wilson preached last Sunday night to a full house. He directed the atten tinn of his hearers to the "Itnnorlunce of km. dellty in Small Things" and concluded by some impressive remarks on "The Necessity for;Con6ecration in the Service of the Lord.' The Doctor urged that promotion In the material affairs of lile would seldom conn except as a reward for, or because of, dutlei faithfully performed In the lower walks o life. That on the common level, the degre< ot fidelity to trust and the faithfulness to tlx perforance of duty, marked the Individual ai ttie suitable subject for higher honors anc greater trusts. That by fidelity men gainef the real and substantial honors and promo ttons by which they were put In places o . TVS.. e*. rpi To~ A J an idea of our Stoc line we liave eve The Latest t 4 ?

Last week ibe Abbeville Medium gave an interestlug record of John W. Calvert, a gallaDt soldier of the Army of Northern Vlr glnia. General Hemphill, we believe, has the distinction of being the only writer of war incidents who has recognized the fact that others than commissioned officers were in the Confederate Army and did gallant service for the Lost Cause. We have heard of Captains, Colonels, Generals, and horses, until we are heartily sick. For this reason it is refreshing to see the slightest evidence of a disposition on the part of any one to renognlze the private soldier as a factor in the war. The horses and the Colonels have been eulogized so often that one can hardly believe his own eyes, when a recognition of^the soldier's valor is made. We would not detract one iota from the laurels on the brows of the brave Colonel and the noble horses who took part In the war. What we like to see is, that honoi be given to the private soldier as well as to the horses and Colonels. General Hemphill throughout the war acted well his part in all the thrilling scene through which he was called to pass. He recollects all that he saw, and has forgotten nothiue.that be has read on a subject which is nearest lo bis heart aud of which he has Just cause to be proud. No man in South Carolina Is more familiar with the history of the war than General Hemphill. Children Sh C. P. Hami Xjfc* We have the Fullest i we have ever had. Se ^ Shoes.

By common m consent the people of Abbeville Connty have jS adopted the system. In the last election the | names of all the candidates were printed on fl the tickets, and all the voter bad to do to V vote a secret ticket was to go off to himself and scratch out the names for which he did not Intend to vote, put the ticket in his -J pocket, walk to the polls, and deposit it in the ballot box. By this means the occupation of "workers" for particular candidates was largely done ' away with. By this systen It Is Impossible | for the ticket-writers to control elections. j Unclaimed Letters. . vj Letters Remaining in the Abbeville, S. C., Post office for week ending Oct. 27,1895. t A?Ed.
