batting them, and failing in the at
tempt to get any, he took fine

stood to on the stack, and then
cancelled himself beneath H., In

he was waiting patiently for his
prey to come, second hunter
CHANGED to come along looking af-
ter the same game, and seeing, as
he supposed, wild turdey stand
ing on the stack, he leveled his
gun and shot 1t dead. And to his
great surprise, out sprang the man
concealed under the turkey, and
with sobs accosted the hunter
My Cd sir, what'll I do. Jane
wouldn't took five dollars for this

MR.. f. G. HAMBRY, of Pittsburg,
Pa, has purchased the Lime Kiln
and lands of the White Lime Man
ufacturing Company, located in the
corporation, near the Fair Ground,
and will proceed at once to put the
establishment in running order. Mr..
Hambry has added to the kiln a
limestone crusher, machine weigh
ing seven tons, which is now being
put in position. In addition to burn
ing lime, he proposes to crush lime
stone especially for fertilizing pur-
poses, crushed limestone being &C
knowledged far superior to burnt
lime for that purpose. The stone is
pulyerized as fine as flour, and can
be put on the land with drill the
same as any other fertilizer. Mr..
Hambry is an energetic business
man and we are glad to welcome
him to our community, He will be
prepared to supply farmers with
crushed limestone for fertilizing, and
also will burn the very best quality
of white lime for glass making and
other purposes.

THE TERMS OF CoURT.-The
members of the Bar of Berkeley and
Jefferson counties, since the passage
of the Bill fixing the times of the

ton and have found it to be impossi-

Berkeley county as at present arran-
ged. The time is too short from
February to April to permit the ma
turing Of cases. 1t has therefore
been agreed for Berkeley and Jeffer-
son to change times for the winter
months, and a request has been for
warded to Senator Faulkner to pro-
cure legislation giving Berkeley a
term in January and Jefferson in
February.

THE Relief Society organized some
time since, has been doing a noble
work. A great deal of actual suffer
ing has been relieved and prevented
through the aid of the society. A
large number of destitute families
have received aid, and are still being
helped. The society has yet a big
work before it. A month or more
must elapse before the seventies of
winter shall have passed and these
families be able to provide for them
selves. Our citizens must not for
get that contributions are still need
ed to enable the society to keep up
its work of noble charity until the
occasion for it ceases to exist. Con-
tributions of clothing, provisions or
money will at all times be accept
able, and will be placed where it
will do the most good.
