CHRI8TX AS NKAS AT HAITI).
Before another issue of the dear old Press
and Banner, BanU Clans will have made his
annual visit to the dear children all over this
happy land of onrs.
Christmas Tide Is the most joyons festive
season of all time, as it marks the birth of
onr blessed Saviour, and 'tis on this day we
celebrate His birth.
Lioolt way back 1906 years ago and Imagine
the tiny Babe wrapped In swaddling clothes
and lying In a manger In the old town, Bethlehem
of Jndea; then behold the beautiful,
bright star that marked the place where the
Infant Messiah lay and led the wise men of
the East to his hnmble cradle; they came and
kneeled down before blm bringing the most
precious gifts onto Him whom they worshiped
as the true Messiah.
This Is a beautiful story and we nope every
child will read It, or their parents will read
end explain it to them, for no child In all
this Christian land should be wltbont knowledge
of this beautiful story which brings to
all mankind Joy and peace, for without this
the greatest of all events In the christian era
we wonld neither have Christmas, nor be
Baved from onr sins.
Our "new preacher" Rev. Roper and family
arrived last Friday and are now oosily fixed
op In the parsonage. Brother Roper preaebed
lsst Sunday morning his first sermon to
this people making* most favorable' Impression
by his earnest and foroetQlmanner. His
snbjeet was Pbllllpplana 813 and 18 verses.
"Forgetting those things whiob are behind,
and reaching forth onto those things whieh
are before I press toward tbe mark for the
price of the high calling in Christ Jesos." In
his remarks be said he did not wish to be
told anything abont any of tbe members, by
any body, bnt wished all to take a fresh sta*t
and press forward and onward.
His subject was most appropriate and well
received by bis large oongiegation.
Od Tuesday of last week tbe Daughters of
tbe Confederacy bad a most dellgbliul meeting
at tbe old historic borne of Mra. Fannie
J. Marshall where tbey were charmingly entertained
by tbelr hostess wbo read a moat
Interesting.paper relating Incidents, and Information
of years ions gone by, whloh all
enjoyed to tbe uttermost. Among tbe refreshments
served was "Confederate frail
Cake. Confederate candles were In evldenoe
and were lighted to give light to those wbo
bad never seen tbem, for to all snob tb*y
were a curiosity. ,
Mr. Samuel 8. Turner baa purchased tbe
brick dwelling next to Mr. Henry Hill's and
known as tbe Nance bouse and la adding
several new rooms wblcb will make & commodious
and roomy dwelling wben flnlabed.
We are glad Mr. Turner baslpurobased >a
borne In Abbeville aocf wish a large number
ot Just such families would turn tbelr eyes
toward our progressive city, as we bave
plenty room for an such.
Mrs. E. E. Piatt and ber two Interesting
children are bere from Hummerton, 8. C, ana

The Democratic Congreaimon haven't aa
yet gained their const nt to vote a "raise" on
their preeent salary. Perhaps they are satisfied
thai It la encngb as it Manas, and th?y
are now thinking of the 6 785 poor carriers
all over tbe land who era coming oat behind
every year on actual living and ezpenaea,
and a poor living at that It Is a most
generous deposition and worthy of the highest
commendation to refuse to raise their own
salary and vole for a "raise" of the carriers
aalary.
Our City stores are now glittering In Xmas
nrrnv ana look beautiful and attrantlvp: no
one can pass by without thinking oI Christ-,
DM.
Goodb for tbe holidays were never in creator
profusion nor more beantilnl. Come to
Abbeville and yon can find anything you
want in this line and at any price.
Would It not be well for our city coucll to
take steps to stop the Indiscriminate shooting
of Roman candles, especially at each oth?r,
as this la a dangerous praotloe and de*
stroys tbe beauty of the display of the pretty
fire works.
Tla too late to stop after some boy is burnt
to death, or has an eye shot out, or otherwise
maimed lor life, and who knows but It may
be your boy reader tbat shall thus suffer.
We hope a word to tbe wise is sufficient.
Shoot tbe Roman candles skyward and
their beanty is seen by all and no aooldeat
will mar tbe pleasure of Christmas Tide.
Tbe many friends of Professor Dick and
family will learn with Joy that his little
daughter Is getting on nicely, and hope and
pray bob win boob do tuuy resiorea 10 neaun.
Abbeville'! graded school will close next
Friday, nod leacbers and puplla will close
books and enjoy ibe holidays.
Many friends extend sincere sympathy to
Mrs. James Jones of Magaalce Hill In her reoent
sore affliction tbe sudden and unexpected
death of ber father at Port Royal.
Mr. R. 8. Link Is "at home" to bis many
friends In the store of that old popular and
reliable firm P. Rosenberg and Co. where he
formerly remained In "good standing" lor 12
years. Mr. Link has every advantage to offer
bis friends, and can fill their bill at tbe very
closest figures for tbe best goods. Call and
see blm fn bis old borne of former years and
yon will see by bis happy smile that "yon
cant keep a labouring man down."
Tbls Is Ideal spring weather In tbe midst
of winter, but look out for Christmas. * it. .
