ABBEVILLE* The Fine Points of tl Cities with Their Seen by Two Traveli Sunt It was at the Grand Union Station! in Greenwood, Sunday evening last, j The little Abbeville boy had gone over with his mother to spend the day with kindred and friends. They were at the station waiting for the 3:30 train going towards home. The little Greenwood boy was a bright chap and had come to the depot all1 alone. He was all stuffed up with the city air, and the dust and smoke ?and sr.ow and ice?of the great : metropolis, and was about to board the same train waited for by the other parties in order to get a breathing spell in the rural retreats about Haskell's, S. C. j They had not been in station long before the boys had seen each1 other. Each wanted to know who the other was. At first they took' snappy glances at each other, and then they looked longer. At last the Greenwood boy licked out his tongue at the Abbeville boy and then the Abbeville boy licked out his tongue at the Greenwood boy, and then both looked away. After a little the Greenwood boy edged a little closer to the seat where the Abbeville boy sat, and then the Abbeville boy slipped away from his mother towards the Greenwood boy. At First they only looked at each other and smiled. Then the Greenwood boy took out a new knife which Santa Claus had brought him and proudly opened it. Then the Abbeville boy took out his Santa Claus knife, and the Greenwood boy looked at the Abbeville boy's knife and the Abbeville boy looked at the Greenwood boy's knife, and as if | moved by a single impulse they exchanged knives as if to make a closer inspection. Then the Greenwood boy said to I the Abbeville boy, "How will you croro n9" An/1 fUo A kkntnll /\ k/NW nnirl m?t m|/ aiiiu titu uuc v me u\jy oaiU) "I can't, Mamma might whip me," and they slipped up the seat further away from the ears of older heads and became more chummy. "Where you frum?" asked the Greenwood school-boy. "I am from Abbeville," said the other youngster "Where you bin," was the next^ inquiry? "To see aunt Sallie," was; the reply. "Live in town?" "Yes, near the Park." "What Park?" "The city park,' which Mr. Anderson stays in," said the other youngster. "Oh! You talking bout that hill' side which you kin see from the deppo; my pa says that he don't see why they bought a owl for that cage, when they had that wise looking | old guy what runs the water-works ( and might have put him in the cage, j He says it is a waste of money.*' "That is because Greenwood has narry park, that's it; a heap of people goes to our park. It has rabbits, and coons, and squirrels, and foxes, in it too. I bet Greenwood will be trying to have a park like our's." j "Ats all right, we have a bigger J town than your'n. We have the fine paved streets where you can, skate when the ice is on them and; where you can ride a bicycle and coast all the way when there is no1 ice. Has Abbeville any paved streets/" "No, my papa says that Abbeville wastes all its money on sich foolishness as trying to tell the country' people how to build roads and attend to their own business, instead of looking after its own streets. But we have the purtiest White Way in' the United States, my mama said, so, and she knows. She is traveled."; "Yore lights ain't as good as ourV Did your lights go out Friday night? j Well, our'n did and I read in thej Greenwood Journal where Mr.' Sproles was up in his night shirt walking round in the cold with a canaie in ms nana to taiK on tnej telephone, and my pa sad he know he looked like Diogenes looking forj a honest man, but my ma said ifj he were walking round in his night! habiliments before the lights went' out in the presence of Mrs. Sproles, she knows the Lord put the lights' out to spare her. And my pa, he: jist laugh, but he like Mr. Sproles, I and tell me she should not say htat.^ I wo coram lie Two Rival Cities Weaknesses, as ' Small Boys ng on lay What were you all doing with the lights out?" "Oh. Mr. Anderson, he was the man which was talking to Mr.! Sproles on the telephone. He could tell Mr. Sproles was in his "nighties" by the way he talked and shivered over the telephone. Soon as Mr. Anderson knowed that the lights was out in Greenwood as well as Abbe-: ville he jist sat down, my mama said she knew, and commenced to try to fix up a plan to buy a new. rabbit for the park. She says she supposed that Mr. Anderson expected the house-wives, that's what she called 'em, to rub the back of a black cat and get light to see by in-! stead of getting on the job. But my| papa said not to be too hard on the old man, he is President of theTri-' State. He learned to run for every small office that comes along from1 tne mayor ana L>r. XNeuffer, who used to be on the town council, and park' commissioner. He said, my papa did, that Dr. Gambrell is now not only the Mayor, but a Trustee of the Schools, a member of the State Board of Health, and does like a doctor, and he said that if there was any man who could fill as many offices as the Bradley's, it was Dr. Gambrell, and pa said he had two faces, too, but I don't know what he! meant by that. My mama says if ( he'u got another one she don't see1 he don't wear it sometimes." "Say," said the Greenwood boy, "I was over at Abbeville onct and I saw the funniest things you ever saw. I was walking round the square and I saw some big fat figures dressed up like policemen standing on the comers, every corner, and at fir,3t I thought they were policemen, but I went around and; came back and they was still standing there, and I thought then they was dummies to fool people, and a man what was standing there when' I asked him what they were, said Abbeville saves money by dressing nn efofufac lil/n nAli'/tamon ' uj^ uivot iir\^ pvnuciucu and makes the people behave, but I walkd up to one and its eyes blinked after awhile and after awhile it walked off, and after awhile, bout dinner time, they all walked off, and they was sure-enough policemen and two of them was crippled, but my pa says that is nothing, as a crippled policeman is fast enough for Abbeville." "Willie," the little Abbeville boy's mama called, ."Don't you hear the train blowing for Abbeville, come to methis minute." And Willie hurried out to the vestibule of the Seaboard train, and the Greenwood boy called out, "Eh!1 Eh! getting off at a dead town." And Willie shouted back, "Greenwood ain't got no coffin big enough to bury it in." And Willie's mother said, "How do you manage to find every bad boy on the train, at school, down town, in church, and everywhere else, and get acquainted with him? Where did you get your love for bad company; from your father, I suppose.'' And Johnny Yates pulled upon the throttle, and the big Seaboard Mogul rolled slowly away towards the shops. Willie and his mother walked up the hill, and Willie dropped behind and shook his fist at the other boy, while the Greenwood boy shook his fist at Willie ,and shouted back, "Say, is that man who collects ( taxes in your City Hall named Noah"? The Illinois State Fuel Adminis-j tration has ordered all industries! closed on January 19, 20, 21, and! also the 26th, 27th, and 28th.
