R. Turner, representing Holland * Bros., of Greenwood, Is In town prospecting for tbe establishment of an exclusive music bouse In tbls city. We already have some good Greenwood men In town, and we would be glad to welcome others. Mr. J. I). Kerr came here from Greenwood when but a boy, eDgaglDg In tbe furniture business. He Is known as one of our most successful * * ?11 o n H onnrl DUSlLieBO 111CU a Liu nuu ait aivuuu n.v. citizen. Mr. 0. H. Cobb, formerly of Greenwood, has been with us for yearr, and It we are to Judge him by his looks, be Is flourishing like a green bay tree. And then there are tbe Messrs. Harrison & Waldrop, recently of Greenwood. They have established a general repair shop, and do a lot of plumbing for our people. If we estimate tbelr pros perlty by the growth of tbelr stock, by tbf long hours that they work, by (be amount of work which they turn out, and by their seem Ihg personal pleasure at being bere, they art Imply getting rich. We needed a repair sboj worse tban anybody. ^ We buve treated the comers with tbe best good wlabea that we bad In stock, and tbe Greenwood people bave been moat agreeable , and useful citizens. Another matter. Since Greenwood ba> bean good enough to spare us a good furniture man, good shoe meo, good -, repair-shop men, and will posalbiy send na a dealer In pianos, may we not ask If there la not a good and lnduBtrlous worker in Greenwood who would establish an lcf < plant or a laundjy ln;Abbevllle. We send off, o we are told, from 8200 to $300 a month foi laundry, and tben Abbeville Is the biggest to wo In the State tbat bas no Ice plant. We are badly In need of cool drinks and laundered linen, and with tbe right man Id the right place be would do well. Tbe faot Ir, tbat every man wbo Is at work In Abbevlll< Is prosperous. Let Greenwood send us a music bouse, an lee plan t, and a laundry. We need tbem, and have nobody to take bold of eltber of tbem This Is a real good town for a good and honest worker. About Marying. "J. A. E." has an Interesting article In tb* Associate Reformed Presbyterian on tbe sub Ject of preaobers selecting wives, and thai correspondent gives tbe names of various fathers wbo bad more than one daughter to marry preaobers. Sometimes as m-ny a* tbree daughters In one^Jiousebold bad mar rled preachers. Among other expressions, "J. A. E." says: "It Is remarkable bow oar preachers have found wives Id groups, two or tbree marry In# In tbe same family. Tbls bas arisen Id one of two ways. Preachers visiting Id tbe femJlles of otber preachers have there met the well favored younger sisters, and through that contact an aoderstandlog bas oome about; or It may be that a preacher tblDks that because Miss Blank has a sister who batmarried a preacher, she knowB all tbe Joys of snob a life, so be mak?s tbe venture; or It may be be knows Mrs. So and So makes a fln< preacher's wtfe, so be Rives her sister an opportunity to do as well." We would suggest another reason. "Bird' of a feather flock together." And an acqualn'ance of ours years ago, who was miglijy wtl fixed Id tbls world's (roods, said that Theological students were a source ot great worry toblm. He feared that the young preacher bad only one eye on bis daughters, while th< otber was steadily fixed on bis pocket book or words to that effect. Of course our old friend was cruelly wrong and we are more Inollacd to accept the theory of "J. A. E." M 1 Thft IVgilnnal Bank. At a recent meeting of the directors of the National Bank, Cashier B. 8. Barnwell, resigned the place which he bad held for twenty years. Daring that time he had glveD much pleasure and great satlBfaotlon alike to stockholders and to customers of the bank. He has been sick reoently. but be has reason able bope of many happy yearo yet In siort for him. At seventy-four, however, be Is not quite as young as he was at flfty-fuur, and having prospered In business, be bas no need at bis time of life to continue tbe constant and fatiguing work which be has been doing. Having earned a well deserved rest, b? vacates bis place In the bank tbat others o> younger years m?y take up tbe work when he bas left ofl. He Is still a director in tb> bank; be still owns bis stock, and tbe bankpeople count on a continuation of tbe uuwaverlog friendship and uuflagging Interest in tbe Institution, which character z d bis action In the past. With slight chsuges of position, with tb< addition of Mr. W. D. WliklDRon, tbe uamt officers are hi ways to be fouDd at the bank's place of boslness. We repeat: J. Allen Smith, President. 11. G. Smith, Cashier. Lewis Perrln, Assistant Cashier. W. D. Wilkinson, Clerk. Well, now, If you've got tbe collateral, and need anytnlng of a material natare, call at the bank and the ''dust" will promptly come down In tbe most delightful showers. Home Again. Mr. WllUeT. Mcllwalne, who used to be a good printer In tbe Press and Banner office, bat who Is now a good oondactor on one of the roads leading ont of Ocala. Is In town, speaking to friends and relatives. Tbe Pre#s and Banner Is always glad to weloome back to Its doors all such good and true men as Willie T. Mcllwalne. Since Mr. Mcllwalne left as be married one of the best girls In tbe county, and sbe Is still pleased with him. He Just worships her, despite the command against Idolatry. Tbey bave two little children?a boy and a girl, and tbey are rlcb. The mother and father wouldn't take les* than a million dol'ars for either of themAnd so yoo see toat tbey have grown rlcb during their seven years In Florida. But no matter bow rich Mr. Mcllwalne may become, he still has hopes of coming back to the land of bis blrtb. He Is saving money, beside tbe value of his children, and In after years'If anybody sells tbe Press and Banner be hopes to be at the Bale witb ready cash to enable him to be a bidder. Appeal to Greenwood. We already have Greenwood shoe dealers' Greenwood repair-shop men, and we need Greenwood music, Greenwood ice, and Green wood laundry.

Orart \ tory-?locution?Happy Eearts The commencement exercises of the ^ graded school last week closed what is / geneially regarded as the most prosperous year in the history of Abbeville city hchools, aud many have been heard to remark that tne commencement exercises this year were better than they have ev- r been before. Instead of having everything crowded into one evening, as has been the case heretofore, the school manage' meut decided to have two eveniugs for the exercises of the graduating class. The first of these was Wednesday 22nd, and a small admission was charged to the Opera House, where the exercises were held, the proceeds to go, after all expenses were paid, into some nice memorial to be given by the class of 1907 to the school. "" * ? ? " I nrintral Inn onH 11118 WatJ quite t*u 1L1UUtmiuu, uuu there was sooie criticism by those who did not understand Why any entrance fee should be coarged. We are, however, following a precedent established io many larger places than Abbeville, and the price of admission, too small to keep any from attending, brought in a sum large enough to pay for hall rent, rent of piano, and other uecessary expenses, and then leave enough over to purchase a very nice encycio paedia for the school,, which will be properly inscribed as the gift of the class of 1907 toihe High School Department of the graded school. The Opera House was literally packed on this first evening, and the ordei of exercises, as follows, was carried through without a bitch in the program : PROGRAM. 1. Instrumental Duet-WoodNymphs Misses Hollingsworth and Clark. 2. Song and chorus?My own United States. 3. Instrumental solo?Pas des Am phores, Miss Cheatham. 4. Recitations: Lecture on women, Miss Hollingsworth. Alameda, Miss Cox. The whistling regiment, Mist Lyon. 5. Song?Away to the woods, Young ladies of graduating class. 6.

G eat interest centered around tbt t contests in elocution and <lecl?mation, * for which prizes had been offered by two of our big-hearted trusties and public spirited gentlemen, Messrs Vinanska and Speed. Two separate committees had been appointed to acl - H8 judges of these contests, aud tbeii decisions were to be rendered the nexl day and announced the following evening. On Thursday evening, commencement occasion proper. The Couri House was crowded long befoie tiru?
