fifteen miles through rain. No fee did

only knee-high to duck smoking
cigarettes. Wonder if their mothers
know anything about it.
The biggest feeling man and the
happiest is Dick Satterwhite. and all
because he has been presented with ten
pounds of animated anatomy. 1t is not
girl. So elevated is Dick that he
gives overmeasure in all dry goods sold.
Stollbrand took testimony Thursday,
Friday and Saturday in Columbia, be-
fore Commissioner Eaton. 1t seems
that one mill couldn't grind fast enough,
and Commissioner Stoeber came up to
Newberry to start another, but he left
without accomplishing anything.
A freight train Monday night a week
ago ran over two mares belonging to
Mr.. Eldred C.. Simkins, above Chap
pell's Depot; one was killed, the other
was so badly injured as to render her
useless, and the train was thrown off
the track.
We forgot to announce last week the
gratifying intelligence that DR.. McGim-
sey's famous wildcat is no more. He
was pitted against bull dog Monday
week; and after round of two hours
he gave up the ghost. The dog was
pretty badly scratched.
A subscriber to Southwestern news
paper died recently, leaving four
years subscription unpaid. The editor
appeared at the grave and deposited in
the coffin palm-leaf fan, a linen coat,
and a thermometer. We intend get
ting supply of these articles for future
use.
The Scientific Farmer hits the nail
on the head when it says: "Our best
farmers frequently practice better than
they preach, and our most popular
preachers frequently preach better than
they practice. Let common sense ac-
company the preaching and the prac-
tice. and we all are gamers
A youth, just launching out in trade,
T,.o q ,,oo1%bv merchant said.
"Pray, tell me, sir, what you profess
To call the secret of success"
The nabob's eyes with pleasure shone
As he replied, in earnest tone,
THE secret simple is, think,
You'll find it, sir, in printers ink.

A prettier sight than that witnessed
in the western sky Thursday night
could hardly be imagined; Venus and
the crescent moon, the two prettiest
objects in the heavens, apparently so
near each other as to touch, rivaliEg
each other in brilliancy, and near by
the planets Jupiter and Saturn shining
brightly.
The Baptist Parsonage is decidedly
one Of the prettiest residences in New
berry. The whole arrangement OF
house, yard and fencing displays taste'
and there is an air of comfort and con-
venience about the place that gives it a
very attractive appearance.
The Baptists have shown a proper
appreciation of their Pastor in thus pro-
viding for him; and he deserves it all.
A sensible writer who knows how it
is, says: How often is it the wet spell
and the dry spell get the credit o.
bringing about short crops; when the
lazy spell and the 'extravagant spell
had as much to do with the short crop
as the weather had. Apply the remedy
this year. Begin TO economize-but
don't begin by stopping your paper and
feeding your preacher on "husks."
Read what the New York Herald
says: by all means advertise. Change
often, and when your business admits
Of it make different features of it prom
inent in their turn-to-day one thing
tomorrow or next week another-and
then something else. Let your adver-
tisements have something of dash
in them, without great exaggeration.
Hundreds Of fortunes have been made
by advertising, and yet as an art it is
but imperfectly understood.
There was man in our town,
He was so wondrous wise,
He thought his business would run itself
And he didn't advertise.

Anything to oblige, brother. Our ma
chine is not working very well, but
| where its task is very plain we guess il
will turn out at least truthful job
There could be but one result:
He moped about his silent room
In sad and lonely mood,
For customers came not to break
The awful solitude.
At last his creditors pounced down
And took his goods away
A pick and shovel works be now
For ninety cents day.
