SEES MANY CHANGES
IN CITY OF ABBEVILLE
' % Abbeville has made many substantial
improvements within the past
few years. Her commodious and
well constructed court house and
opera house aad law office buildings
are up-to-date.
J She
has a first-class hotel constructed
on modern plans that would
be a credit to any town.
The new post office, under the
able management of Mrs. Rachel
Minshall, is a pretty building and is
kept in perfect condition?everything
being neat and orderly.
Abbeville has an up-to-date cotton
mill with a well satisfied set of operatives.
We notice many pecan trees here,
especially in the lower part of the
town. This year the limbs are bending
down with pecans. One man
here, Mr. Wilson, I am told, who
has quite a number of trees on his
place, has one tree which annually
yields more than enough pecans to
pay his taxes.

She has six churches: Methodist,
Presbyterian, Baptist, Episcopal, Associate
Reformed Presbyterian, and
Catholic.
The streets here are well lighted.
A Confederate monument stands
in the center of the park, just opposite
the court house.
Through the combined efforts of
t the civic league and the city and
county officials, the grounds around
all public bmildinga have been beautified
with lawn* and flowers, besides
the yards of many residences are
V- ' ' literally covered with shrubbery,
\ , roses and other flowers.

HAVE YOU A HOME ORCHARD?
If Not, Plant One This Fall.
Clemson College, S. C., Oct. 23.? *
Every farmer in South Carolina j
needs, and should have a good home ^
orchard to burnish fruit and berries j
ifor home use. One acre devoted to
?
such an orchard will give all the
fresh fruit that a family can use
throughout the whole summer, and a
surplus for canning and preserving
for winter use.
Each county agent in the state
has been furnished with a plan of
a model home orchard. By going
to him and referring to this plan j
you see just how the orchard should
be planted and which varieties ripen
in succession so as to keep fresh
fruit coming on all the time during
the fruit season.
1-year peach and 2-year apple trees
of the varieties desired, enough of ?
them to set out the whole acre, can'*,
be purchased for about $18.00. Your *
county agent can supply you with
lists of fruits and varieties and the r
names of reliable nurseries, so it 8
will be easy for you to get just what F
you want in the way of fruit trees.
The orchard is a great thing.
Plant one this fall. , '

The weather this fall has been
Dvely and has been taken advantage
f by the brisk gardeners of the city,
t is the proper time to plant cabage,
onions, carrotts, lettuce, spin,ch,
beets and endive.

Pride often gives truth a severe

A promising young man often
treaks his promise.

Two men may live together in
>eace and harmony/ but no women

Filth and prosperity seldom go
land ih hand. Farms should always

Put your fdrm machinery in the
ihed, and protect it from the fall
