They have one son, and, for the
moment, are stopping at the Eureka.
They made the trip to South Caro-!
lina by boat and from Charleston up

FOR THE PRIZE BABY.
Dr. G. A. Neuffer has offered a
handsome prize for the most perfect,
baby in the better baby contest to be (
held on Nov. 3rd. This prize is notj
for the prettiest baby but for the
most perfect baby, both mentally and
physically. The prize will be a handsome
one and babies should be registered
at once.
Much helpful advice and instruction
will be given the mothers who j
attend the baby contest and Dr.
Neuffeffr is offering this prize as an"
encouragement to the mothers to
bring their babies.
THE BOOK CLUB.
The Book Club met with Mrs. E. C. j
Horton last Wednesday. Despite the \
inclement weather, there was a good I
y" attendance of ladies and the meeting j
was most pleasant. After the business
a contest was indulged in, slips j
of paper being passed on which was |
. written the story of a honey-moon
trip, the blank spaces being filled j
out with the name of some member j
of the club. The story was written
by Mrs. Horton and the effort to fiii
out the story was entertaining and
lively. Delightful refreshments of
:salads, sandwiches and tea were serv ed
at the close of the meeting.
THE BABY SHOW.
The better baby contest to be held
on Nov. 3rd, will not be a beauty
show but the babies will be graded
v according to their health and development.
Register your baby as early
as possible at the McMurray Drug
Store, and a definite time will be set.
for you to bring your baby to be j
judged. It is hoped this contest will |
v be of great value to the mothers of '
the county and town.
Such a contest is a new thing for !
Abbeville and should be patronized
by all.

GETTING THE NEWS.
It is not always a safe thing to
ask the people the news. Some of
linkln +A 1 a AfJi+rti* oil i
tuciu die; nauic wu MIV *suivv* ?U
that they know. Last Monday we j
asked a lady to tell us something for
the paper and she said to be sure
to "put it in, that all the old maids
in town were just crazy about Mr.
Longshore." We do not consider
this any news at all, it is a perfectly
natural thing for all the girls to be
"just crazy" about a gay old boy
like Mr. Longshore.
BAD NEWS.
Last Monday afternoon we asked
Mr. Herbert Allen, superintendent of
the Abbeville Oil Mill if he knew any
news He replied that the only thing
he knew was that cotton seed was
selling for sixty cents a bushel and
that an ordinary sized derby hat full
of cotton seed meal was worth a
dollar.
If this thing keeps up we will have
to sell our cow and go back to the
bacon gravy we were raised on.
Events in our family will have to be
dated from "that day we had butter
for breakfast."
VISITING THE OLD HOME.
Mr. L. T. Miller comes up from
Darlington today to visit friends and
relatives and to look after his business
interests in the city. Our peo~
