fhe Press >and Banner ABBEVILLE, 8. C. jgfPubllshad every Wednesday at 53 a year In advanoe. Wednesday, Nov. 8, 1899. Arbor Day?Not. 171b. To the Teachers of Abbeville CountyThe Legislature by an Act approved Feb. 16.1898, has directed "That the free public schools of this State shall observe the third Friday in November as Arbor Day, and on (bat day the school, officers and teachers shall conduct snob exercises and engage in the planting of suoh shrubs, plants and trees as will impress on the minds of the pupils the proper value and appreciation to be placed on flowers, ornamental shrubbery, and shade trees." Until the observance of this day in our schools has become an established custom. If mav be overlooked unless specially brought to the attention of the teachers. I~ therefore urge all the teachers of Abbeville county to celebrate the day In their schools as required by law. J. a. Gloert, County Supt. of Education. Stockholders Meeting:. We ask attention to the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad which take* place In Atlanta, Ca., on Friday next, the 10th Inst. The Seaboard has greatly expanded of late by the addition of several existing roads, and hnndredB of bands are now building various missing links by which the whole system will be connected with the shortest and most direct routes from New York to various Important centers In the South. The greatest activity prevail* in all the departments preparatory to an Immense business during the coming season. ! 1 Celery. , Celery Is regarded as one of tbe choicest an well as one of,the moit delicate products of I tbe garden. and wherever it in grown it Is i held in tbe highest esteem. When tbe taste , for it has been acquired nothing that grows gives greater pleasure at tbe table. Being held la high esteem, lovers of it strive to develope its highest production, and nothing pays better for tbe extra labor than celery. Nothing responds more readily to good treatment and nothing is more sensitive to neglect or Improper culture. Among tbe most successful growers of this delightful salad Is Mr. W. Joel Smith of this city. Specimens from his garden are equal to tbe best samples from Kalamazoo, and for ex- | qutsite taste and flavor nothing surpasses tbe " plant which he grows. Efficient Teaeber. Miss Gertrude Moore, of this city has been unanimously elected to take charge of tbe * Oak Grove Sobool, near Donalds.

Here is a bug the like of which we have never seen or heard about. Can you teN us what it , is?" "The professor, adjusting his glasses, , took a look and then said,'Young gentleman, this is a humbug.' . < "But now, some professors, who * claim to be very learned specialists, 1 have, from many sources, gathered numerous theories-which they declare are wonderful improvemensts upon the religion of the Bible; and, when these theories are adjusted, we have 1 tbe most striking and peculiar creature 1 A to , me won a naa ever neeu. auu ?luo . creature the professors are trying to palm off on tbeir students as an evolu- i of the religion of the Bible, and a f;reat improvement of the fcame; and, order to make is popular, they call it 'the twentieth century religion.'
