and a ruler aud had hits deeds, valorous or h
otherwise chronicled by himself or otuer e
contemporaneous writers?and his example
held up "unto this day" as one worlhy of t
emulation. It was easy enough then M
aud Is easv enough now to speak
and write of Joshua. Not so with Caleb, he d
was nol his owu biographer, as was common P
then and nol uncommon now hence we know c
very little about him. However he was none '
the less an honored servant of God, for the b
Record tells us he too lived still." May be a
It was In unostentatious style on his compar- 1
atlvely small possessions at Hebron, but the '>
same authority says "it hud rest iroin war'' , "
which for those times speaks volumes lor ; "
Caleb's goodness and wisdom. If we follow i?
the simile down to the present we tl:id I
men and women all about us, of whom Caleb u
. 1 and Joshua are prototypes. Men iuthe.secu- v
lar and religious world who from superior '
endowment or greater opportunities, write, v
or have written, their names high on the Ic
scroll of lame In church aud Stale, men who b
receive the plaudits of nations und at whose i 'J
feet blograpuers delight to bow, aud to whom 11
the press of the world counts it a privilege to 1
do homage?The Joshua's. t
There is another class, by far more nume- ^
rous, und not the least, important. Men who }
occupy that humbler sphere Hint makes home '

in the quiet retreat of their own surroundings,
at peace with all ruanklud, their record ]
clear as a noon-day sun, no blot on their
escutcheoD, a tower of ctrength for good in
their communities, uot known far from home ' L
but as tar as kuown their name* are syno-1
utms for Christian uprightness. Few are the
newspaper men who dare invade the saucily ]
of that halo which suiDiinds them?the re- p
suit or a pure lite aDd curiect living. Tnere Is
nothing here upon which the sensationalist
or scandal monger may feed aud their modes- i
ty precludes the possibility of u job lor tbe:
Ho-much-per-coium biographer?The Calebs. I
Of this later ciass the subject of this sketch Is
a type.
Aiieu Dodson?post-octogenarian?the eld- t
est and only surviving child, out of fourteen, t
of Jame? Dodson, was born December 'JS, i
1806. within one mile of where he now lives,
near Ware Shoals, in Abbeville county, his j t
father, lived In the same neighborhood the
greater part of his long Hie, having died but '
a few years ago at the age of ill years. Allen
Dodson's mother was Miss Mctiee, sister to t
Abner McCiee. who also lived to a ripe old !:
age. .'11. i/uuouu liiyimu vvLi 1J oiti.il ?.uui.c*- tlou
as the country schools then afforded and . i
has made (arming the occupation of his life.
He bought anil settled the place on which he)
now lives iu ltftft), and 1ihs lived mere con so
cutively except lour years be spent in .Mississippi,
whither he emigrated with some of his j
brothers about 1850. He has been thrice mar- I
ried and, boasts, that of all the blessings he |
has enjoyed, the greatest has beeu three ol
the bent wives in the world. J
His first marriage was to Miss Nancy Anderson
lu 18:29. From this union nine children
were born and raised. Mrs. Hudson died
lu 1878, at the advanced asje of 71 years. His
second marriage was to Mrs. Martha Cooper
In ls7?. She having died In 1Ss7, he was
married to his present wife Miss Sallie White
in 1888. who being much younger in years is a
real comfort and help-mete to him lu his last:
days- My reference to James Dodsou's family
ouly included those of his first marriage? |
he has one sou, James Calvin, by his second
wife who lives iu Graves county, Keutuclty.
Allen Dodson has been a member of Turkey
Creek baptist church for 07 years and Is still
m rot/ulnr Attendant. At All itK nervmPH. A1-.
though possessed of uncommon health and |
strength lor one of bis years, he lives In daily ;
expectation of a summons to his home be-'
yond the skies where the weary shall have
rest from their labors. Living at peace with
all the world death has no terrors for him?in
fact it is a theme on which he delights to'
dwell. He enjoys the confidence aud esteem |
of all who know him, his honesty of purpose I
none wilt gainsay?he has no enemies?great, |
but merited euloglura. Mr. Dodson !
attributes his remarkable health and
longevity of years to a strict observance ol
bygenic laws and temperate living. He has!
I never used tobacco in any form, or been adE
dieted to the use of alcoholic stimulants.

BUSY PRINTING OFFICE.
he BimIdsxn of tbe Job Department
of tlie Abbeville Prefift and Banner
Is at High Water Mark.
Usually at this season of the year we have

band. We have had but one week o/ lelse
this year. At present we are crowded
Ith work.
We know tbat a statement like tbls is of
it little Interest to the public, but we would
more or ler>s than an ordinary mortal If
i did c ot feel very proud of the grist that
ntlnnally comes to tbls mill.
[t seems since we bought large fonts of job
pe, a Babcock pony press, a perfection
itcher, i perforator, ana the best paper cutrs
tbat are made, tbat we have no grounds
be discouraged as to resulte, but every rean
to be thankful.
Work comes to us from all directions, and
; hands in the Press and Banner are kept exedlngly
busy, week In and week out,
Work In the Press and Banner office Is thorgbly
systematlsed, and a fixed price Is paid
printers for each part of each Individual
t>, thus making It impossible to make mUkes
as to tbe calculation of cost.
iy our system the exact cost of any Job can
estimated before the work Is done. Tbe
fferent Items of cost are kept in a register
our chief Job printer, and we can tell by
ference to bis book, tbe cost of composition,
ess work, paper, folding, stitching, tbe
imber of copies, the date, and the profit on
ch Job. His book will show these Items on
i work tbat has been done tor years, and we
a tell tbe profit on any job, and the total
ofit on all work. No guess work about It.
Cbe office owes no Interest bearing debts: It
ysa reasonable rent when compared to city
ate; it has cheap lights, and Are wood costs
arly nothing; It employs no men by tbe
De and consequently there are no fixed
arges.
tVhen this office bids on work against city
Inters the award 1b obliged to come toAbville,
unless somebody works without profJaying
a small incidental expense and payg
no Interest on tbe plant, while labor is
uch cheaper than c:ty prices, the Press and
,nner can do ordinary book work and other
erage printing at less than actual cost to
:y printers, and then make a large profit.
None ol the city printers have better mainery
or better material with which to do
>rk,and the ability, efficiency and fidelity
the printers in this office could not be surssed
by the printers in any office in tbe
ate. .
Because of our methods of conducting busiS8,
without waste, and without exorbitant
arges, we are enabled to do work very
eaply.
\od because of tbe excellence of our work,
d the low prices which we charge, tbe busies
of tbe office constantly increases as the
ople become better acquainted with it.
Mo city employing printer can make any
aney if he underbids tbe Press and Banner
; any work which we can do.
[n order to hold our own, we were compellto
make considerable outlay in presses and
ber printing material, and now we are in
e field, and are getting: about as much as we
n do. The city printers In former days
pt the road hot, and canvassers filled tbe
wn, and raked ud every little job that they
uld lay their hands on. We acted in selffense
in buying a good outfit, and we now
opose to be. for a time at least, a factor in
e printing: business. Or course the worn
at we will do Is small compared with all
e work that Is to be done In the State, but
giving us a cbance to bid on work, nobody
ed pay too high for what he wants.

There is nothing gained in the government

of the habit of saying to a little '

will do so add so, followed by a failure
to do it was well exemplified the other '
day. In reply to the remark, "If
Mary is not quiet mother will have to
