The sEasos.-A more charming autumn

The SEASON. more charming autumn
we do not remember. The forest trees have
not yet lost their beautiful attire. nor has
the air grown bleak and unfriendIy- To-day
then, we yet enjoy the lovely Indian Sum>
mer, with its purple, damask and gold,
its lights, shadows and perspective, its iris
vigorating atmosphere and genial warmth.
Butah, it is mere transition, a kaleidc-
seopic move, an hectic flush as it were, ,indic-
ative of the decline of the vegetable world,
and close of the solar year, for Tomorrow
the frosts of death will overlie the earth, and
the "sweet breathed violets" be hid away
in the tomb of winter. . 500. .-.s--- -- -,r.--
The close Of the year is suggestive Of
change. 1t is ''the shadow of the parting
hour" in which hopes and fears alternate.
And to the poor, infrm, aged and home>
less, is it peculiarly sad and painful asso-
Citations are broken up, hopes are crushed,
want obtrudes, and cares press upon hearts
/ that grow faint with daily strife.
Let us be admonished by the withered
leaf, that time flies, and now is the season
for kind words aud gentle deeds; for, with 50
few more smiles and tears, joyful greetings
and abrupt farewells," we too sshall all
have done with the ''busy map Of life"
2, REMENBER-The Sale of H. II. :Blease's
valuable and highly cultivated farm, with
all appurteuances for successful farming,
will take place on next Tuesday, the srd
of December: 1t will be to the interest
Of all wishing to invest to be there. Bar
gain hunters are also invited to attend.
We had the pleasure yesterday Of a visit
from our friend C. G. Jaeger, of Laurens.
Mr.. j., had jnst returned from a visit to
Charleston, where he attended the late and
exceedingly pleasant session of the Grand
Lodge of the Masonic Fraternity.
ADVERTISING PEopLE.-Says the Boston
Post ). 'people who advertise are smarter
than those who don't; better looking. too,
niae in ten. This is natural, if not logi-
| cal. Advertising is an indication of in
! telligence, and intelligence is one Of the
leading clements of good looks At all
events the world believes in those who
advertise, and, it plants its, dollars in their
pockets. Such are live: people !; and. in
] these live days nobody. wants anything
to do with any but your live men and
women. Our advice to everybody-ex-
cept in matrimony-ls to advertise. 1t
is sure 20 return largely, increase. your
! reputation as business man, make hosts
| of friends, and add to the number Of
| shrewd and sensible people in the world,
tHof which there has never yet been an
| ovcrstock." -.
Yea verify, and ola truth, the Post is
! correct. We can now account for the
sprightly intelligence, good looks, amia-
| bility and prosperity of our merchants,
in the fact that; they all ADVERTISE and
literally too. We hear complaints else
| where of business being dull, nothing
| doing, with fears ofcollapsing, breaking
up, and all that; and Why isit?- Because
the men who thus complain belong to
the timid order, they have no moro nerve
than wet rag, or a wilted paper collar,
they advertise but little and then only in
an occasional spasmo1ic way, and hence
they succeed little or not at all. AS our
| paper circulates- extensively, and will
| reach not few Of these dull regions
We freely extend the advice TO look. over
its broad columns and follow the example
+ of our wide awake Newberry merchants.
The general reader also will bs benefited
by looking over the attractive displays,
for in the endless variety presented. it
win prove wonderful ifsome thing does
| not strike his particular flint. ''Bread
