BEAUrY.-How to secure q clear smooth.
beautiful, healthy skin, is the desire of all,
and this is within the reach of all. The
skin becomes discolored, rough, eruptive,
by the virulent, unhealthy condition of the
excretions and insensible perspiration-that
is, secreted by its functions, and expelled
through its pores. The skin is one Of the
chief outlets for the expulsion of the hu-
mors or elements that the absorbent vessels
reject, to nourish and sustain the blood;
hence. these irritant humors poison the
delicate skin, and we have Pimples, Blotch-
es, Sores, either simple or malignant, ac-
cording to the condition of the perspiration
and humors secreted by the skin Now,
the application of cosmetics only hide these
defects, and increase the irritant condition
OF the skin. Use Heinitsh's Queens De-
light, and it will be found a perfect remedy
for these disorders. M24

Agriculture.

MIR. EDITOR: 1t is time the friends of ap-
ricultural progress in this District were up
and stirring. An enthusiastic meeting
lately took place in Abbeville District, and
great encouragement is felt that good re-
suits will ensue. A resolution was adopted
at that meeting, that it was expedient to
hold State Agricultural Convention in this
place on the 28th April, and delegation
was appointed to attend it. 1t becomes us
to respond to this call, and meet our friends
half way. We remember, with peculiar
satisfaction, the conventions which formerly
met here. They were not only of great
benefit to the cause of agriculture at large,
but exerted a decidedly favorable influence
upon our own community Gentlemen
spent their money freely here, and the an
nual fair was an occasion of high social and
intellectual enjoyment.
The recent meeting of the Georgia Agri-
cultural Convention, at Atlanta, was very
successful one The earnest and thought
full men of that State have inaugurated a
movement looking to the manufacture of
sulphuric acid within the State, and have
given an authoritative expression of opinion
in favor Of standing wages for laborers.
These are important steps, and in the right
direction.
In connection with this subject, word to
the railroads will not be out of place. We
bring to their attention the fact that mem
bers of the convention lately held in Geor-
gia, were passed over the railroads of that
State free of charge. We trust that ou,.
railroads will be equally liberal. Do they
appreciate the fact that in England railway
companies transport fertilizers free of
charge, expecting remuneration in the
greatly increased production of crops? We
beg, most respectfully, to call their atten-
ton to these things, and hope their action
IN this matter will be both prompt and gen.
erous.
A call will be found in another place for a
District meeting here on the first Monday
in April-a good time, by the way, for other
Districts to organize their societies. We
trust that we shall have large attendance
from the country; and our city authorities,
we think, would do we'll 10 give encourage
ment to this interest. MILL CREEK.

A Sly WEDDING came of in our place
on Saturday last. which displayed consid-
cradle tact and cheek on the part of the
parties. The facts are briefly as follows !:
A well-to-do farmer. who used to re ide
in Walnut township, in this county,
lear or so ago, sold out and went to Val
paradise, for the purpose of schooling his
family generally, and his only daughter,
,snecially and partly for the purpose Of
breaking off an attachment she had form
ed for a certain young man with whom
she had become acquainted while living
i'm this county, and whn her parents very
naturally thought was not good nough
for Ter After tic removal Of the family
to Valparaiso, all went well, apparently.
with all parties concerned, except the
unfortunate young man who was left OFT
i'm the cold, here. He wrote letters tn the
girl at Valparaiso, all of which the old
folks were kind enough to take out and
DESTROY. without their daughter being any
the wiser or happier from the fact OF his
having written to her. Being rather q
winsome lassie. n Valparaiso Teller who
the old folks thought was all right. and
who she thought quite clever fellow,
began paying attention to her, and
finally they were engaged to be married,
and, the old felix's thinking everything
was right. went west where the old man
had bought farm, leaving enough money
with their expected law, TO get
married and follow them to their new
home After their departure, young fell

young lady and have her come 10 Plym-

DAYS. which she agreed 10 do. but Teller
No. could not thinkof being separated
from her so long. so he gave himself an
invitation and came along with the LADIES'.
They arrived on Friday, and at night,
after the rest Of them had all retired, fell
Ter No. came to the house, was quietly
admitted by his long lost girl, and-well,
that's as far as we were informed as to
what transpired afterward. that night
Saturday night the same programme was
repeated. AMI an arrangement was male
to get the license very quietly, ana the
minister's services were secured II the

Last week we published short para

the pay of prosecuting attorneys had
been defeated. This will be regretted
by all good citizens. The pay should
be increased SO that they could afford
