Chapel Hill, Miss., October 22,1897.
My Dear Friend:?TbU is a lovely day. I
will endeavor to write you a letter Id response
to tbe one you wrote In the Press and Bauner

to get It.

former days.
Now for a little hit of pleasantry. How
much do you pay Cohen for his example In
advertising so extravagantly? I mean with
regard to space. I have been asked by readers
of your paper, whatl thought the space occupied
by Cobeu was worth? I was not able
to answer tbe question. Of course this Is a
source of revenue to yon. Even tbe old staid
firm of Captain L. W. White seems to be taking
on new life. P. Rosenberg -t Co.. W. J.

clerked for Jobn Mcllwaln. on the comer,
daring the years 1817. '-18. '49 and *50. Then
there were only a few stores In Abbeville,
*R. H. and W. A. Wardlaw, where the bank
building now stands. J. A. Allen and Wm.
Hill, on tbe upper end of White's block, John
White, on Whites corner, Wler & Lytbgoe,
and Wler 4 Miller, afterwards, opposite side
of street, near court house, postofflce, by John
McLaurln, on corner of publlo square and
Washington street, and J. A. and A. Lavords,
od corner now of Cotbran's block, and some
smaller places of business also not mentioned.
I remember other noted places, Silas Anderson
kept a liquor establishment on Washington
street. Great Improvements have been
made since 1857 and 1850 inclusive.
. THE DISPENSARY.
The dispensary from all I can learn Is a great
Improvement on tbe old grogshop principle,
which was detestable to all right thinking
DeoDle. But friend Wilson while the dlsDen
aary may make liquor drinking more orderly,
yet It u not Id accordance with your way of
thinking nor mine. I would banish the sale
of liquor from the country If I bad the power.
THE ENFORCEMEENT OF LAWS.
It Is said that prohibition does not prohibit,
therefore it is obliged to be a failure, Let me
ask If the law against murder prohibits; If the
law against theft prohibits; If the law against
gambling prohibits; If the law against adultary
prohibits: they certainly do not, butifall
these restraints were removed and every Immorai|man
allowed to follow the bent ol his
Inclinations, what do you Imagine would be
the consequences?

a very rare thing to see a man in the country
or In the village, under the influence of liquor.
I have it from a friend recently from South
Carolina, that there is more drinking in Abbeville
than in this county. We have been
free from the annoyance for more than ten
years. Not long since onr county voted no
license, by a considerable majority. I heard
not long stnoe ofa "blind tiger' not far away,
but the man who was supposed to be the offender,
shot and killed a negro man and ran
. off. I have not heard from him since. Ruk

K think we have only about a half dozen counW

State of Mississippi, which I believe is composed
of some seventy-flve.

"Sometime since a gentleman in)rmed
me that he knew of several

It lies upon the minister of Christ
to care for the souls of his people from
house to house; to spare no paius that
divine service be beautiful add reverent;
to afford to the young every
useful means of religious culture; to
, move his congregation unto such good
works as lie to their bands; but it
is well for him to remember that
, the most critical and influential event
in the religious work is the sermon.
> History bears unanimous testimony '
on this point. When the evangel j

I them all; for, indeed, the work of the
I: pulpit in our day is not so much
to teacb as to stimulate and encourage.
That minister who receives a body
of people more or less cast down and
wearied in the great battle of the soul,
and sends them forth full of good
cheer and enthusiasm, has done his
work and deserved well of the
people.

FULTON'S FIBST TBIP.
Tbe Flrat Paanenger That Bode on
His Boat.
There was one little incident in
Robert Fulton's lite about which few
people know, and which never forgot.
It took place shortly before the return
trip of his famous boat's voyage
by stream up the Hudson river. At
the time all Albany flocked to tbe
wharf to .see the strange craft, but eo
timnrnnn wpre thev that few cared to
board her. One gentleman, however,
not only boarded her, but sought out
Fulton' whom he found in the cabin,
and the following conversation took
place:
"This is Mr. Fulton, I presume."
"Yes, sir."
v "Do you return to New York with
this boat?"
"We shall try to get back, sir."
"Have you any objection to nay returning
with you ?"
"If^ou wish to take your chances
with us, sir, I have no objection."
"What is the fare?"
After a moment's hesitation Fulton
replied, "Six dollars." And when
that omnnnf wao I a IH In Vila hftnH h A
built HkUVUUV fT MM IMIV? AM U M ?w
gazed at it a long time, and two big
tears rolled down his cheeks. Turning
to the passenger he said : "Excuse
me, sir, but this is the first pecuniary
reward I have received for all my
exertion iD adapting steam to navigation.
I would gladly commemorate
the occasion with a little dinner, but
I am too poor now even for that. If
we meet again I trust it will not be
the case." As history relates, the
voyage terminated successfully. Four
years later Fulton was sitting in the
cabin of the "Clermont," then called
the "North River," when a gentleman
entered. Fulton glanced at him, and
then sprang up and gladly shook his
hand. It was his first passenger; and
over a pleasant little dinner Fulton
entertained his guest with the history
of his success and ended with saying
that the first actual recognition of his
usefulness to bis fellow men was the
six dollars paid to him by his first
passenger.
Big Newspapers nud Pure Newspaper)).
There are signs that the day of the
extravagantly big newspaper is pass- 1
ing away. That these signs may not
prove delusive, is to be sincerely desired.
We never see one of the big dailies
of from twenty-four to fifty pages '
without a feeling of disgust. The
most of the matter that these pages j
contain is the purest drivel, unworthy
of a moment's notice, and much of it
is a sort of moral sewage, defiling
everything with which it comes in
contact. That it should have readers '
enough to warrant its publication, is a
serious reflection upon the intelligence
of the age. In the good time coming
fho nanerq will be edited with the t
most thorough and conscientious care;
and every paragraph in them will
represent sifted news or rational
discusion. The religious journals
ought to lead the way in this movement.
They should seek to see, not
which can be the biggest, but which
can be the best.
