PLowING.-Winter plowing is better
than fall plowing in this latitude. 1t turns
up many noxious insects, and they are not
in a condition to make a retreat, and die
from the exposure. The fall rains are sup
posed TO be over, and don't melt and beat
down and compact the soil, 1t is turned up
fresh, and the freezing and thawing and
pulverizing process can go on to the great
advantage of the land. The teams are now
fresh and vigorous, other work Is not press
ing, and every week gained now in Plowing,
puts the farmer ahead that much Ia the
spring. Especially should the land to be
sown 10 oats be now plowed where it can be
done or If any land is to be sown to clover
or timothy, by all means pillow now, so as to
SOW early in the spring Land to be plant
cd in orchards, If not plowed, should he
deeply and thoroughly plowed now,

The DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 'EM.-There
is vast difference, says the Danbury News,
in the conduct Of a man and woman in
new clothes. When a woman gets new
suit she Immediately prances down town,
and for hours will walk contentedly along
crowded thoroughfare, receiving fresh inn
pulses of joy every time another woman
scans her wardrobe. But man is so differ
ent, He won't put on his new clothes for
the first time until it is dark. Then he goes
down so cautiously as to almost create the
impression that he is sneaking along. If he
sees q crowd on corner he will slip across
the way 10 avoid them, and when he goes
into his grocery store he tries to get behind
as many boxes and barrels as he can. All
the time he is trying his level best to appear
as II the suit was six months old, and all
the while realizes that be is making an in
fernal failure of it, We hope the time will
come when new pants will be so folded by
the manufacturers that they won't show a
ridge along the front Of each leg when the
wearer dons them.

WHERE TO ADVERTISE

A. T. Stewart says the best advertising mediums
he has ever found are the old established organs OF
the two political parties at the several county seats
throughout the Unionn "These,' he says "reach
every family OF the least account IN their several
counties, and are more carefully read than any other
class Of Ionrnals" II Mr.. Stewarts Judgment Is OF
value there is no dicUlty In deciding which paper
It is for the interest or business men TO advertise IN
The COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT, upon which this paper is
partially founded, was established In 1885, and the
COLUMBIAN now enjoys wider circulation and
greater prosperity than II did. IL goes week
ly into two thousand families in Columbia and ad-

PURE WINEs.--The other day stranger
entered Detroit wine shop where four or
five men were drinking, and in a loud voice
inquired for the proprietor. That person
came forward, and the stranger said:
81 am hard up and l want to sell you a
recipe. For two dollars I'll show you how
you can make a gallon of best Catawba
wine out of twenty cents worth of drugs and
whisky"
"Would you insult me?" cried the dealer.

THE ADVANTAGE OF lT,-The day had
been set and the young man was happy.
But his father failed in business, and he
collected all the pink love letters, the lock
of hair, the faded violet, ETC., and started for
her mansion. He was high-minded and
honorable and felt in duty bound to release
her from the engagement Yet he grew
faint as he was ushered into the parlor.
Such love as his wouldn't stay crushed.
"George dear George" she exclaimed, as
she entered the parlor and seized his hand
"Arabella, am here to do my duty" he
said, as he rose up.
"W-what's the matter?" she asked.
"H-haven't you heard of-of my fathers
failure?" he inquired his heart beating pain
fully

The cashier wouldn't compromise his bank

wer them fairly, in behalf of the labor

First.-Is it the fault of the employer

to pay in certain length of time, on
the supposition that be could draw his
salary when due, and his employer fails
to pay it on demand, and with reason

MODERN WOMEN.

1t is sad commentary upon our boast
ed civilization that the women of our
times have degenerated in health and
physique until they are literally race
of invalids-pale, nervous, feeble and
back acby, with only here and there a
few noble exceptions in the persons OF
the robust, buxom ladies characteristic
of the sex in days gone by. By a very
large experience, covering period of
years and embracing the treatment of
many thousands of cases of those all
ments peculiar to Women, DR.. Pierce,
of the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, n.
Y, has perfected, by the combination of
certain vegetable extracts, a natural
specific, which he does not extol as 4
cure all, but one which admirably full
fills o singleness of purpose, being a
most positive and reliable remedy for
those weaknesses and complaints that
afflict the women of the present day.
This natural specific compound is called
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The
following are among those diseases III
which this wonderful medicine has
worked cures as if by magic and with a
certainty never before attained by any
medicines: Weak back, nervous and
general debility, falling and other dis
placements of internal organs, resulting
from debility and lack of strength in
natural supports, internal fever, con-
gestion, inflammation and liberation and
very many other chronic diseases incl
dent to women, not proper to mention
here, in which, as well as in the cases
that have been enumerated, the Favorite
Prescription effects cures-the marvel
of the world. 1t will not do harm in
any state or condition of the system,
and by adopting its use the invalid lady
may avoid that severest of ordeals-the
consulting Of family physician. Fav-
orlte Prescription is sold by dealers in
medicines generally.

One of our Canadian exchanges
claims that that "pampered son of roy
atty" the Prince of Wales, has become
very popular with English subjects
that instead of initiating tho course of
George the Fourth, "of infamous men,
ory," he is settling down to royal bust
ness, and the English people arc be-
coming very proud of their Prince.
That there is no question that his India
visit has accomplished all that vas an
.icipated, and his personal acquaintance
with the Eastern realm, over which he
will some day rule, will greatly benefit
both himself and the empire.
