constructed there will be quite An

which is pretty town, but has no
Railroad. I reached Carnesvilla

there, and is quite an ornament.

sister, from Cross Roads, and Misses
Grice's. Boggs, Pickens and Rosemond,
were also visitors last week. Several
others, whose names we could not get,
were present, and we feel assured that
every one present enjoyed themselves,
and will ever remember the kind hos
pitality of our citizens, for which they
are noted.
Testimonial FrOm A. M. FOlger.
EAsLEY, s. c., June IS, 1884.
I can add my testimony to the many
others already offered, as to the inval-
uable virtue OF ''Westmoreland's Calf
saya Tonic" During the opening OF
Spring I was very weak, scarcely able
to walk half mile without resting
and after using one bottle of the Tonic
my strength increased, and my: appe-
tite improved, until now I can walk
four miles all hour and eat AS many
beans, etc, as any ordinary man.

Coming out of the land Office Mon

of three young ladies who had just

noticing. as the writer has often Oh
served without noting before, how lit
tie the sex ,insexes itself, and how
greatly it's best charms are enhanced,
in the persons of these maidens, most
ly from seventeen to twenty-five. who
have gone through an ordeal of pio-
neer life on their w behalf, which
would shame the luxury-loving and
efYeminate men of eastern cities.

Wheat and Dakota Printers.

The surplus of wheat tor exporta.
ton from Dakota, it is said, will
amount to 2s,00O,0OO bushels. 1t
would seem, at first glance, that this
fact would not be of such vital i'm.
portance to the printing interests of
that region; but when we reflect how
many hundreds of printers. within
the past year, taking their wives and
families, have staked their all and
risked their last dollar in their ven
ture, and in the attempt to make
themselves new homes in a new and
wild country, the joyful news that
Dakota is millions of dollars richer
than she was a few months ago, from
wheat alone; and that every printer
in the territory will share in this
wealth. is cause for greetings and
congratulations from their brethren
all over the land. Here in Dakota
are new gatherings of Pilgrim
Fathers, who doubtless remembered
men their longing eyes first rested
on this new and untried land, that
other band of pilgrims who, many
years ago, landed OH a :stern and
rock bound coast" But the trials.
troubles and dangers of the Dakota
pilgrims are sooner over than were
those of the earlier pilgrim fathers.
Well, we can say: Rejoice, OH! print
ers of Dakota, and while you take
the names of your new patrons, &C.
companied with their wheat money,
bow your head and hearken, for good
wishes and greetings are coming
from your brethren from all regions.
That you of the printing fraternity
should demand Il fair portion of the
wealth which comes from the soil, is
but just and right.-Chicago Speci-

TIE Crows and Sioux have just en-
tered into a formal treaty of peace.
The Grows have been inalienable
friends of the whites. The Sioux are
internationally connected with the Min

tribes have been common enemies for
many years. The basis of the treaty
was the gift to the Sioux of 1873

In this section Of Alabama n farmer can

ToTHE admirer of choice and vigorous
English, no matter what his party, the
letter of Samuel j.. Tilden read before the
meeting Of the ~Iroquois Club, in Chicago,
is conclusive evidence OF extraordinary
mental stamina. A man who can give
such a mastery exposition of his views in
such circumscribed space needs no apollo
gist for his mental vigor. Mr.. Tilden
points out plainly and briefly the menace
to our free institutions in the govern
mental interference with the will of the
people as indicated by the ballot. With
rare delicacy he merely shadows forth the
military preparations of the party in power
to thwart the will of the majority in 1876.
No fair minded man who reads the letter
but must acquire an increased respect for
the Sage of Creamery, who appears, not
in the role of a modern political trickster,
but as a high-toned patriot with the good
of his country alone At heart. His closing
sentences are touching:
p have such faith in benignant provi.
dence which has presided over the destiny
of our country in every great trial hith-
erto, hat | don't despair of the ultimate
deliverance. Though | cannot longer
aspire to be one of the leaders in this

august mission may fall, God speed.
