The friends of Col. M. P. Tribole, whose

The TRENDS OF COl. M r. 1IlUOl6, WuOse
serious accident we chronicled LAST week,
are glad to learn that his condition on
Wednesday morning was slightly i'm
proved, though he has not recovered suf'
ficiently to be removed to his home. His
suferings are intense, but under the care
full nursing and attention he is receiving,
the physicians are hopeful that he will
steadily improve from now on.
A series of meetings will begin in the
Presbyterian Church tomorrow (Friday)
evening, and probably continue at night
throughout next week. DR.. Frierson
will be absent from the city next Sunday,
but his pulpit will be occupied by Rev.
Dewitt Burkehead, Of Texas, who will
assist in the conduct of the meetings.
Mr.. Burkehead is well known through
out this section, he having married lady
of this County, and was, years ago, pas
tor of Church in Abbeville County. He
is an able, eloquent divine, and his SER
mons will be a treat to those who may be
able to hear him.
Our townsman Mr.. A. B. Towers sent
us this week basket of yam potatoes OF
last years growth which were5perfectly
kept. Mr.. Towers has potatoes all the
year round, and his method Of preserv"
ing them is worth knowing and follow
ing. He gathers them up one day and
banks them the next, covering them with
straw and boards to keep the dirt off, and
then covers with about two feet of earth,
leaving no air holes. Those banks which
he wishes to keep he will not open until
after Christmas. He has tried this plan
for several years, and has never failed.
It is worth knowing and practicing.
The August number of Deusoresfs Ilus-
t-cted Monthly is unusually interesting.
Among the many articles that call for
favorable notice are "On Foot and Four
in-hand in the Tyrol," Costume Por-
traits in the Paris Salon." "At the Whit
by Jet Works. Opportunities for Wo-
men, by Jenny June, and ernst MoritS
Arndt, Poet and Patriot" Ella Wheeler,
Eleanor Kirk, and others contribute ex-
cellent stories, and the illustrated article
on the popular "Crasy Quilt" will prove
useful to ladies. The "World's Progress, !"
and tie various departments are Of inter
est and utility, and the Illustrations ex-
cellent.
