Difficulties in obtaining labor at that period led to his abandoning the farm, when he went to Co-' lumbia and entered upon a mercantile career.

My own eminent success in raising goats, and especially in growing jats, satisfies me that Mr. Visanska was a jreat farmer. This fact is evidenoed in mother fact, that after boiug a very rich man, he was after two years of farming jnabled to come to Abbeville in 1873, when tie had II,500. borrowed, or left fronj his 'arming operations, with which to open a 4t.nr? where Mr. PoliakofT is now doinc business. Mr. Visanska contracted to pay 5700 rent and opened a small stock of goods. He prospered from the start, and t wcs not Ion/? until his stock was in creased, and in consequence his establish ment became more attractive and more Inviting as his customers increased. In a few years he bought the store in which he now does business, and as time went on his stock of goods grew to such proportions that some of his neighbors prophesied, or said that he could not sell >o much goods, and that he would be sure v broke. front rank, and when public improvements were to be made he has led all the rest, He has done more good for Abbeville than any other half dozen men in town evei did. Notwithstanding his public spirit and his liberality he is the richest man in town, and the largest tax payer in thf county, and in him is exemplified the fad that "the liberal soul shall be made fat." Advanced in years, enfeebled in body Mr. Yisanska is not actively at work though he takes great interest in th< business and welfare of those who are tc follow him. In all the success that has followed Mr Yisanska, Mr. Philip Rosenburg,|the fathei of the bride to be, has by his untiring zea and energy contributed very largely. H( came to Abbeville from Germany and sue eeeded his brother, Mr. Wolfe Rosenberg who had with Mr. Visanski started thil wonderful business on its upward trend Mr. Philip Rosenberg was, until his healtl was impaired a few years ago, the movin* spirit of this great firm. Mr. Sol Rosen berg, his oldest son, is now in active charg< of the business. Pre* Shade Treea.

He has built, and he nbw owns a greater number of nice store rooms in town than any other man. Instead of living in a modest little rent ed cottage on a side street, as he did when he first came to Abbeville, he now owns une of the most elegant homes in the city, which is located on one of the largest, as weil as one of the most valuable lots on Main street.
