Look it over, it is well worth your time. i Today and tomorrow will be busy days for the different millinery e$ tablishments of Abbeville. Their fall and winter openings will be held and good crowds are expected to attend these fashion shows. Philson and Henry, Haddon-Wilson Co., and Mrs. Jasl S. Cochran and J. M. Anderson Co., have all advertised their openings. The Starke Vehicle Co., is this weoV nHvprtisinp1 the famous "Mit chell" wagons and on and after the first of October the price of these wagons will be increased on account of the advance in the price of material. Better buy that wagon now and save a few dollars. *'4 Effective last Sunday the Southern Railway has made the following changes in the schedule: Train leaving at 6:35 p. m., will leave here at 5:35 p.m., an hour earlier; on returning the train will arrive here at 7-02 t>. m.. instead of 8:02. t . Miss Wessling, who is an expert in bread making and the use of wheat substitutes,, etc., from the Department of Agriculture at Washington, will be in Greenville the 26th and 27th of this month. Miss Wessling will devote one day to quick breads and one day to light breads with wheat substitutes. These are sure to be splendid meetings, and I hope that some of the Abbeville la. dies will make it convenient to go up %* for at least one day. Everybody is urged and invited to attend. The fall season is now coming on and the merchants should avail themselves of the opportunity to advertise. There is a certain amount of goods that are to be bought and if one don't sell them the other will, so why net use The Press and Banner as a medium through which to reach the people. A little money spent in printers' ink is the best investment a man can make. Or at least the biggest merchants in the country say so, and they should know, for their business was small at the start. Get , the advertising habit, it is not throwing away money at all, it's investing it. Miss Edith Leach has just entere the Atlanta Business College.
