I -= I: Thin is the Time to Set Them Oat? The StreetN to the Depots and the ' Public Sqnare Should Receive as [ Ntich Attention as Pinhook. March Is the month of months to set out shade trees, and the city fathers could do nothing better J ust now than to (111 in vacant places on our sidewalks with willow oaks. I . can count dozens of places Where trees have died or blown down, several years ago, that have never been filled. The street committee ought by all means see that a good row Is set out on the streets leading from the two depots, and also from the cotton mill. The avenues In Harrlsburg, Pinhook, Jail street and other popular thoroughfares are very pretty and well kept up, but some of our I most important streets, and especially the' , Public Square, are neglected In this line ' altogether. Another thing, Mr. Editor, I hope you will hammerat the citizens generally to use more paint and whitewash. Abbeville's business houses are looking disreputable, most of them, and the great majority of our dwellings . need paint worse than bad. Just take a ride 1 i around town and see the number of rences j that could be vastly Improved by the whltewhhIi brush, at least. I know what I am talking about when I say we are falling away behind other towns all over the State. We send too much money from home. We . send money Greeuvllle, Anderson and Atb' ens to help keep up their laundries; to Green> vllle and Greenwood for our Ice; Anderson ! for mattresses; Newberry and Gastonla for lour coffins; half a dozen neighboring towns I for our home-ground flour; and last, but not | j least, Atlanta for our turnips. i If we don't get together, close together, and j I bestir ourselves, we will have to lose our I olace in the procession of progress. We need j a nice modern hotel, and, finally, must have ! the Black Diamond. If we doni. get It, GreenI wood will, and we might as well "take out j and quit." I Let every man in town do his best to get a j new citizen to move in. Not long since a stranger expressed his Intention of locating in some good town ; four or five of our business men were talking to him, and one of them said, "Well, you better move to Abbeville, I think you will find it a pleasant place to live." The others were silent. Now, this Is no way to induce strangers to locate amnnffat. no Progress. - MISS BERTHA YISANSKA. Sou Hi Carolina's Greatest Mnxicinu. Id a letter from Berlin concerning a grand concert iMven by South Carolina's own great pianist. Miss Bertha Vlsauska, much Is said of the great success she made. The audience was very large and numbered many celebrl* ties. United States Ambassador White and his wile were present and seat Miss Vlsanska an exquisite basket ol roses. Eugene D'AIbert, the great musiclau, who seldom ever goes to concerts, was present and alter tBe concert went up "anil extended his personal I oonirrAtiiliifionH to Miss Vlsanska. Josef: Hoffman was there with his father, Heckk lng, I the great cellolst. Hutcheson and many distinguished Americans were present. MIkh | Visanska received almost a cartload of (lowers, music and dainties from appreciative friends. Ttio D'Alberts have Invited Miss Visanska to spend a while with them hh a | guest of honor. Miss Vlsauska will give a concert In Frankjurt next. She has been asked to play with the Philharmonls Orchestra In their Beethoven, (i. m>iJor, mid Itubensteln concerts. She goes to Copenhagen to | > play In a special concert. Josaf Hollman j said at the concert that Miss Vlsanska wan the best artist tie had heard this season outside of the great artists like IVAIbert, Ulster and Busulu. THE DISPENSARY.

Painting and WhitewaMhinK- Other News. Mt. Carmel, 8. C., March 25,1890. The Mt. Carmel Graded School observed Arbor Day lam week. The pupils, under the direction of Prof. Iiathan, spent the day in planting out trees on the school bouse lot At night an entertainment, composed of essays and speeches, was given by the school. Under the management of Prof. Lathan and his assistants, Miss Lula Williams and Mlse Florence Patterson, the Mt. Carmel Graded School is among the best in the State. A great many horses are dying on the Savannah side, from feeding damaged corn. In the death of M. L. Kay, Mt. Carmel has lost one of her brat citizens. Honest and upright. In hlR de- .imrs with his fellowmen. a pure christian has gone to hi9 reward. Orange Camp No. 57, W. O. W., of which be was a member, performed their burial cere mony over the gra\e. Mr. Kay held a policy in the above order, which will be paid In a few days. Wm. R. McCannon, an old veteran of the civil war, now ninety years old, although almost totally blind, Is In fine health and spirits and bids fair to count his century on the earth. He Is a most remarkable man In many Instances. Mr. Foster Blackwell, of Rock Fence, Ua., has moved Into town and will make bis home here. Mt. Carmel welcomes him and family. J. F. Sutherland has trimed up and cleaned off the avenue leading from Main street to his dwelling, and has made his home one ol the most beautiful in town. The Camp of tbe Woodmen of the World will opsn up their subscription boons on their next regular meeting for tbe purpose of raising money to put up two brick stores with hall above. The store rooms are already bargained for. The hall will be used by the W. 0. W. The shares will be placed at ten dollars. Success to the enterprise. J. W. Morrah has had his premises bright^ ened up by tbe paint and white wash brush. His beautiful hotel property would adorn any city. Traveling men attest this to be one of tDe best hotels in the state. Mrs. Frazler has made Improvements on her property on Main street, by building a large barn. This is one of the loveliest homes in town. S. I). Wells, who lost his laborers through the emlgraut cyclone that struck tbisseotlon, has succeeded in filling their places, and Is now ready for another ten bale crop to the horse. The Doctors report that the bealth of tbe country Is fearfully good. Magistrate Covin, who has served this people for ten years, has turned his books over to the newly appointed Magistrate Colyer and returned to private life. Our wish Is that the last will make us as good an officer as tbe first, and we bespeak for Magistrate Colyer a fair trial. Rex. TERRACED LAND, A Farmer Who Would be A*linmr<l to work i.nnii inni is 01 Terraced. I have recently been on a business trip In Anderson, Pickens, Oconee and Greenville counties, and was greatly struck with the vast amount of terracing being done everywhere by everybody, whlt.es and negroes ft 11 Re. The thing that struck me forcibly was the great lack of tills very Important work In Abbeville county. It Is enough to make the heart sick to see so many broad acres In our own county going to absolute ruin year after year by the almost criminal negligence of our people. Everywhere I go in this county I see land that could be reclaimed thrown out, and new land cleared up. I am somewhat, of a farmer myself, but would be ashamed to work land not terraced. Now Is a good time to do a lot of it while the land is too wet to prepare for crops, and there is really no use to throw the terraces up very mull, juki mj nicy are mm on properly and strengthened in weak places. Let us try arid make our county one tnat we can be proud ol instead of allowing It to wash away to waste. Observer. MILITARY COMPANY. ? Tlicir Xiuiihcr* Must be Hccriiitotl to Kixly. Tin? Abbeville military company is making strenuous ellorm to fill up Us ranks to sixty tneu as that is the requisite number to insure its recognition by the state. The reorganization of the Ktatn Militia limits the number of companies to forty. Under this rullr.g there will Just about be one company to each couuty, and If the Abbe vllle boys expect to cotne in thev must recruit up at once. v.: :V } OP IMIH UJUii . Complete! STYL-ISH.

Mr. W. M. Baker, being the lowest blddei waa given the management of the mall root from this place to Beach (Mr. L. C. Clink i scales.) The mall Is carried there and bad . twice a wqek. This Is much better and mor satisfactory to the citizens of that commun ity, than having to trust to chance, aa the; , had to do sometime ago. The planters are pushing ahead betweei showers, preparing lands, cleaning up. &c. There has also been a little gardening done enough to show to the passerby that vegta bles will be in order later on. perhaps. Mr. E. F.

From what can bo learned, it Is all qulei along the Savannah in the Calhoun Fall! section. The emigration excitement is aboui a thine of the past, and "Peg Leg" had bettei be a thing of the forever gone. It Is said thai he, a few days ago, wrote to a gentleman ai that place and Included in it some lovint messages irom Home or his dear mentis there aboutn, and farther said that he never ex pected to again set foot on either Georgia, 01 Carolina soll^or at least his doing so will not bo voluntary.
