, Mr'. G. A,. Vlsanska, after a month's absence
at one of tbe Summer health resorts. Is
back again rested and . ready for business.
Mr. Vlsanska, for a number of years, has
made It a rule to take a month's rest In tbe
Bummer. Tbfe relaxation, the cbaoge of
eenery and tbe different association Is beneficial
alike to bis health and to hip tired brain
and body. He thinks that all active workers
that have passed middle life snould take a
rest. They can usually do more work In
eleven months than in twelve.
In speaking of Mr. Visanska's return, it
may not be amiss to say something of hlsj

wonderful work In bonding up tbe city of
bla Adoption.
He came to Abbeville about thirty years
ago, bringing with blm $1,500 of ready money.
He rented tbe tore room now occupied by
Uie Ueaara Thomson Brothers, for wblob be
paid an annual rent of *700. He opened a
stock of goodi and bla efforts were amply rewarded.
Slnoe then tbe Arm of P. Rosenberg <t Co.,
tuuf gone steadily forward along tbe road
to snoceaa for themselves Individually. Their
ifxoetlent Judgment, together with their pubFlo
aplrlt, baa made tbem an important feeor
in all that baa tended to tbe welfare and
ipbulldlng of'the elty which they love so
ivell, and whlob olty baa been so mncb bene
itted by.their presenoe.
Some idea of their suooesa in a business way <
nay be bad when we express the - belief that
bflr wealth today exceeds the combined *
veal tb of any four or five of the other richest
gen In town. ?
Some Idea of their public spirit and of their
ralne to tbe material growth of tbe city maybe I
ifd when we say we believe there is not
oday any fifteen men in this city whose comlined
contributions to the pablio enterprises |

Dir. Visanska has Dot only been a financial
access and a public benefactor,- bot be ba?
roogbt op* family of ohlldren that are aD
onor to blm. acd the Individual members ol (
bat family will be a benediction 10 the oom?
amities in wbleb they live. Following tbe
dvloe which tbe Lord gave to Ah ram about
oing into a far off land, Mr. Visanska's sons,
istsad of living in tbe abadow ol the pareo- 1
il roof and instead of spending tbelr patrl- 0
tony in idleness, were sent off to col- 8
ge and when they returned from the lns i- 1

jnqaer an honorable pkce among the sont n

Viewed irom any standpoint, and com- 1
ared to tbe snocess that has come to bis 1
elgbbors, Mr. Visanska has reason to be "
rat fled, and tbe town has reason to be proud 8

AN OLD CITIZEN GONE. ;
'ol. J. Towoei Boberlson, After a Look f
and Brave Fight, Ytrld* to tbe 1
LrnI Great Eotmy,
In the passing of Col J. Townes RobrrtFOD 1
aat Tburt-day at midday, September 81, 1905.
ne of the old landmarks of tbe city baa dlsppeared,
and one of tbe ties tbal bound as
o tbe Abbevll le of tbe past has been severed,
n tbe truest and In tbe best sense, be ban
>een for more than half a century a oitlzen
>f tbe town of bis adoption. In all these
ear* be hUa been a man among men. Poaesalng
a well defined oharacter ar.d having
ironounccd convictions be was not reluotant
ospeak bis mind when occasion demanded.
Jo matter what may havei been the oppollion
In tbe days of his str ngth of person
,nd character be bad the courage of hlB oonlctlonr.
In bia early life, or until be was about fifty .
ears of age, be was a splendid speclman of
landaome manhood; his manner and bla
eraonullty at once pointed him ont aa oue
rbo stood far above tbe level of tbe oomnon
herd.
In bis career, In hlB labors, In bts straggles
,nd In tbe difficulties which be met we have
onsplcuous and pronounced evidence of the
act that If a young mt>n has the ability and
he ambition to rise above tbe apbere in
rhlch be was b >rn, be should bi$ak away
rom tbe envnonment wblch handicaps him, (
,nd go Into new and uuknown fields of en
leavor, where he will be estimated oy nis
iwn worth.
An uneducated man with ability, and fixdness
of purpose will succeed any where, but
neb a man will sncoeed lar better when
way from those who wonld pot a stumbling
lock In his way and who would drag him
lown, If they could. A man who Is bom In
t olrcle of rich kindred and educated friends ,
rill always be supported aod held up not
tot only by them, but by the fawning Iglorantpoor.
But let a boy that Is born In
he ranks seek to raise himself above the
ommoo level, the chances are that he will
tave edoooragement only from those who
nay be regarded as the higher and the beter
class of citizens. The probabllty Is that f
hose of his own kindred and of his own ae- i
oclate nslgbbors who should be proud of his (
mcoess, will be the first to fall upon him and
ear him to pieces. Uneducated In either ,
lterature or in the manner of the educated,

o evil aocount.
Col. RobertsoD quit tbe plow and came j
rom bla lather's larm when be was quite .
roung. He bad the ambition to be and to (
ank with ihe best a nd the truest of our citrons.
Id the course of years his labors and
ila ambition were rewarded with tbe suo- |
iea* for which be struggled. Until he was ,
tarallred some twenty years ago be was a |
actor Id all of our affairs, and his speech was j
ilways on tbe side of right, He lived an ex- i
impiary life, and his dally oonduot was sucb j
is to commend blm to the good graces of the justness
world and to tbe confidence end (
aspect of the church people.
Wltbln tbe last few years the Episcopal ,
ihuroh has lost some of Its oldest and most (
altbful supporters. Tbls year Mr. W. H <
'arker, the oldest member of tbai communon
at that time, laid down tbe burden life |
tod Is now at rest. In point of years Col. |
lobertson was next In age. He bad been i
lonneoted with tbe cburcb longer than any j
nember now living, BDd be too went to bis |
