For several years the cry has come up from our farming districts that "hard times" had laid siege to the Industries of tbe laboring classes and had well nigh won the victory. We wondered then if It were true, and in our own minds formed our doubts. Tbe theory has been exploded, and three sonsot Abbeville's soil have demonstrated that the proposition Is an absurdity. Several years ago. as some may remember, the home of Mr. J. E. Eills of this couuty was sold under execution, Hntl he and his family were left without a dollar. Business embarrassments bad overtaken him, and to the world It seemed thai the hand of lortune was against him. > Time has proved differently. Since that f time three of his sous, H. L., J. A. and M. L. Ellis have become of age. Though possessed of nothing Oi this world's goods, yet animated by a desire to be something and do something, they determined to buy back tbe old homestead. This they did about three years ago at a cost of something less thau two thousand dollars, giving their note for the amount, lu the three >ears since the pur cba6e they have lent every eueigy towards owning the bouse nf ibeir father, and it must he gratifying to them to know that, while they have enjoyed many of the conveniences of life, yet they have more tbau half accomplished their task. We uo not mention this alone to commend these young men for the stand they havtf, taken in this regard, but to sho* In addition the necessary reward that follows honest toil e and manly efforts, and to strive to encourage meters 01 our juung uiru iu uiuw u^? men forces behind tbe same bulwark of safety? honest and unceasing labor. We take It that the above Ik a deraocRtratlon that whether "sound money" or "free silver," "hard times" or "prosperity," Is abroad In the laud, It Is honest latior and i good judgment that balnnces on the final accounting. We honor those who are making such efforts, and we letommeud to others the emulation of their examples. NEW GROCERY STORE. Mr. J. E. Jfone* Open* n Store on WnMhinicton Street. _ Mr. J.

Harper, of Klberton has been for t'oe past few days, visiting bis son, Prot. J. F. Harper, and other kinsfolk1 and friends In this community. His presence reminds us of the days of yore, (ante bellum days) when he was a prominent figure in our section. Then be was a large and successful planter and a very popular man. Just before tbe war he sold out his possessions and moved to Elberton, where he lived for several years, then broke up housekeeping and>bas since been living with bis children.

The news was circulated early yesterday raornlug that Mr. Calhoun Simonds was dead. From the low state of health in which be has been for some time, bis death was expected, but he passed away suddenly. He was about years of age, was quite a talented man, aud at one time possessed considerable property. Several months ago be came up from Charleston where much of his life was passed and has since made bis home with his brother-law, Mr. T. T. Cunningham. His remains will be deposited to-day In the cemetery at Rockev River Presbyterian church. Mr. Frank Morrow is, at this writing, very low with dropsy.

Muo nn rnnloH nloroo u;hn nnntfifi er their duties done when tbey have made and gathered their crops. It 1* true that many have much of the Winter mouths taken up iu making arrangements for, and moving to new homes. The most prosperous renters are those who cbauge homes as seldom as possible.
