The attention Of our farmers is called

in another column, particularly to that
which has reference to the impending har-
vest. 1t will be seen, that be has On hand
every machine and instrument necessary
for harvest purposes, from mowers and
reaperS to rakes ard whctstoncs. Mr..
Bartholow has long had, and has now, an
extensive trade with our county, aud We
have yet TO hear the first word Of complaint
against him. His machines and other i'm
plements have been extensively used tv
our people and have given. thus far, uni
versal satisfaction His rriccs arc Is low
and his terms as liberia! rs any o.hcr deaf

county to supply all their asrlcp'turaI
wants at the shortest notice. and rs the,

Acc1DENr.-Wc regret to state that
Capt Lawrence, of the Freedmcn's Bu-
rcau, lost valuable horse on Thursday
last. While the Capt. and his lady were
descending in buggy hill on the road
leading to st. Andrews chucch his horse
became frightened and commenced kick
ing. This lie continued to do until he had
gotten out Of the shafts and partially re
lieyed himself from the gear, when, by 9
sudden jerk, he drew the buggy with great
force upon Kim, one Of the shafts penetrate
ing the fatty part Of his leg several inches
cutting an artery, from the effects Of which
he blcd to death in half an hour. Both
the Captain and his lady escaped without
injury.

planned that this difficulty was occasloned,
in regard to the eyes, by the pressure'upon

of the latter experiment, one gentleman
informed US, that though able, he was
afraid to raise his hands from the shoulders

to these explanations. Our business is to
state facts, and we repeat, that the expert

called upon to say, that he explained away

a day passes that we are not asked
why we did not publish the mar
riage of Mr.. so and so, and wenow
answer through our paper, that all
may know the reason. It is sim,
ply because we don't feel a suffi-
Gent interest in our many friends
to spend two OF three hours rum
ming around to find out their
names, when and where they were
married, and who married them.
IF the minister or magistrate who
performs the ceremony will furn,
ish us with the names and dates
we will publish the notice cheer
fully and without charge. Our
idea is, however, that the man
who gets a sweet, blooming lus-
cious little woman to share his
bed and board, and refuses or
neglects to let the world know it
through the columns of his coun-
ty paper, even though it cost him
a bottle of champagne or spark
ling catawba, is unfit for the en-
joyment of so rich a blessing

The above is sensible and to the
point, and the Banner cordially
endorses the language of the Re-
publican. No editor has the time
to devote to ascertaining the par
ticulars of marriages, deaths, &C.,
but when the details are furnished
by friends, we will always give
room in our columns for the same.
We hope our friends will bear
this in mind.
