By reference to bis oard It will be seen that Mr. P. B. Speed Is thankful to the public for the custom which has come to bis store, and we have no doubt If the people were to speak that they would snv that they were more indebted to blm for his faltbtul service. Mr. Speed is notable for his consistent and faithful discbarge of every duty to his family, to his neighbor, to his church, and to tbe community in which be lives. And all men receive consideration and pollteueBB at hts handn. Ho came to Abbeville some thirty years ago, without special training in the ways or methods of the mercantile business. He preserved bis morals, kept his money, and married the best woman in Georgia. As a result he stands high lu the councils of the church, is able to pay his debts, and is as happy as earthly mortalB need be. DUE WEST. Interesting FarHicraphv dj a WideAwake Correspondent.
