Remember the Episcopal Ladies.
We would remind our friends and fel-
low citizens from all parts Of the country
that the ladies Of the Episcopal congre-
cation will give dinner, for the benefit
of their church, on salesday next, the first
day of Court. The Episcopal congrega-
tion is very small, and their church is
more seriously and sternly in need of re-
pairs than perhaps any other in Edgefeld
county. The gentlemen, therefore, Who
patronize these ladies on salesday will be
doing real and well. deserved charity.
On Tuesday night after this dinner, the
same ladies will give supper. Both this
dinner and supper will be held in the hall
OF the Ryan Hotel.
Our Premium.
Every farmer is interested in the vel
fare Of his stock, rand should have on
hand, for ready reference, book describ-
ing the ailments bis stock is subject to,
and the remedies therefor. . In coDsidera-
tion OF this fact we have procured for the
benefit of our farmer subscribers large
number Of "Kendalrs Treatise on the
Horse" one Of which we propose to give
to every one who pays for his paper. in

engraving of the horses teeth at different
ages Of the horse; a..valuable collection Of
recipes, and much more valuable iniorma-

Heavy Lien Business.
We find out, upon looking into the
matter in the Clerks Office, that the lien
business is quite as brisk this season as IN
any one past; and that the giving of
mortgages upon personal property-bills
of sale-is painfully general. AT the
present rate, the employees. of the Cler KS
office will soon become acquainted with
the name and age Of every horse and mule
in the county. lone horse, Charlie, of
the age OF nine years" Zone gray mare
Maggie, eleven years old" One mouse

We are sorrv to see this: although, under
present circumstances, we dare say it is
almost unavoidable. Our farmers would
do better to borrow money at even u per
cent. and pay cash for their supplies than
to pay from 25 to 10 per cent. advance
for supplies on lien. Even the mer
chants should prefer selling cheap for cash
to high prices on lien. Farmers, you
cannot get from under the ruin until you
practice the most rigid economy IN store
purchases raise your own hog and homl
nv this year to make your next crop with;
and regulate your expenses upon short
crop basis, instead of calculating upon
full crop, and spending up to it, as large
numbers of you have done for yed.s past.
