TRIUMPH REAPERS.

WE call the attention of farmers to the TRI-
w UMPH REAPER, No. g. which is one OF
the best Machines offered on the market. 1t is
perfectly under the control of the driver from
his seat, as to height of stubble reaching lodged
or short grain, passing over obstructions, regua-
ting the size of the gavel or suspending the rakes
at any point and for any desired time. To show
the appreciation Of those who have used this Ma
chine we give their testimonials below:
YoRKv1LLE, s. c., Nov. 10th, 1888.
IATTA Bros, Gents: After careful and thor
ough examination of all the Machines offered for
sale here, concluded to buy Triumph No. 2,
which gave perfect satisfaction, it being the sim
plest in construction, and at the same time the

CLOVER, s. c., Nov. 18th, 1888.
LATTA Bros, Gents I was very much pleased
with the Triumph No. 2, bought Of you last sea-
son. My son, 16 years old, harvested my entlre
crop with it, and without the least trouble Cut
ting in some very rough and hilly ground.
Mrs. P. L. JACKSON.
BETHANY, YORK Co., Nov. 10th, 1883.
LATTA Bros, Gents: I have been farming over
40 years, and the harvest of last season was less
trouble and more satisfactory than on any pre-
vious year, owing to the use of the Triumph No.
2, which gave perfect satisfaction. WIN. OATES.
YoRKv1LLE S. c., Nov. 10, 1883.
LATTA Bros, Gents was very much pleased
with the Triumph No. 2, bought last season and
found it in every respect as recommended.

say, except that we guarantee every Machine,
and always have extra pieces on hand.

INCREASED FACILITIES.

VNTITH the help of painters and carpenters,
w have thoroughly renovated and remodel
ed the interior of my store room, which now
presents much neater and more commodious
appearance even than before. found this
change necessary in order to make room for
that splendid stock Of goods which it was recent
ly my good fortune to purchase from Messrs.
J. r. Lidnsay & Co. am so situated now that
1 can give better bargains in many lines than
ever. Not even excepting those
Exceedingly Low Prices
which I have been offering during the last
month.
can supply you with almost anything from
a sheet of acriing paper to hogshead OF nolosses,
at a price which will even compete with
Those of New York.
This state Of affairs cannot exist always, but
it will be found upon investigation that there is
not a tinge of untruth in this seemingly extrav-
have q MONOPOLY IN THESE BARGAINS.
During the past thirty days 1 have sold more
than four thousand dollars worth OF goods and
this is an immense quantity for single estab-
lishment to sell in one month, especially in the
face of this particularly dull season Of the year.
The truth of what have said with respect to
quality and prices having been tested to the ex-
tent of four thousand dollars, can no longer
see room for reasonable doubt, nor do believe
it exists. Every one who called to see my stock
was highly pleased with the low prices offered
them, and can and will offer the same induce
ments for some time to come. Give me a trial
next time you come to town.

GAME, TRAIN and other lubricating oils,

IN GENERAL.

0Naccount of their cheapness, Mineral Oils are
fast superceding all others as common lu bri-
cants. These Oils are made from Petroleum
which is obtained from wells bored in the OIL
bearing regions of Pennsylvania and other States.
The first Weld of these wells is gas In order to
isolate the lubricating principle, the crude Pc
troeum is subjected to distillation, and again in
this process the first product is gas. There is
still another generation and emission of gas when
"Groceries" in his primary effort in Oil speaks
of being able to sell cheaper than Drugs who
may have equal money facilities and certainly
the advantage of experience if he has any at all.
IN PARTICULAR.
Speaking for the York Drug Store Man individ-
ually ewould say to the consumers of Lubri-
eating or Machine Oils that we have several
grades in stock and propose meeting prices on
any of them.

The President Desires Nn Appropriation

collection of articles at the coming wor DIS in

New Orleans.
The President, in concluding his mes age
SAYS: "1he importance, purposes and benefits
of the New Orleans exhibition are continental
in their scope. Standing at the threshold Of
the almost unopened markets OF Spanish aud
Portuguese America, New Orleans is a natural
gateway to their trade, and the exhibition
offers to the people Of Mexico and Central and
South America an adequate knowledge Of our
farming implements, metal manufactures and
cotton and wooden goods, and the like necessi-
ties of existence, in which those countries are
either defcicn, or supplied to limited extent.
The breaking down of the barriers which still
separate us from the republics of America,
whose productions so entirely complement our
own, will aid greatly III removing the disparity
of commercial intercourse, under which less
Ian 10 per cent. OF our exports goes to Ameri-
can countries.

An Exciting Adventure.

Mr.. ]. B. Martin, while rambling IN
the mountains Of Colorado recently,
met with an exciting adventure. lie
was climbing a mountain, and happen
ing to look up met the eyes OF Wild
cat crouching for spring. The ami
nal made leap, and, Mr.. Martin in
stinctively dodging his head, the beast
fell upon his right shoulder, fastening
his sharp claws in his overcoat Mr.
Martin shook it off suddenly, when
it rolled down the steep side of the
mountain for some ten feet. Gather
ing itself up, furious with rage, it pre-
pared for another leap. MIR. Martin,
in the meantime, started on run up
the mountain, but was soon obliged t.
stop for want of breath, when he dis
covered the wildcat close to his heels
For the first time he thought of a re
volyer in his pocket, and lodged a pui
let in one of its forelegs, but the ami
NAL continued to approach. The mex
shot lodged in one of the creature
ewes. and he continued firing till tn
pistol was empty. when he had tn
satisfaction of seeing the beast drol
dead at bis feet.

Laughter and Death.

There is no laughter in tho natural world
OF beast OF fish, OF bird, though no sad doubt
OF their futunty to them unfurled
Has dared to check the mirth-compelling
shout.
The lion roars his solemn thunder out
To the sleeping woods. The eagle screams
her cry.
Even the lark must strain serious throat
To hurl his blest defiance Mt the sky.
Fear, Anger, Jealousy, have found voice;
Loves pain or rapture the brute bosoms
SWELL
Nature has symbols for her noble joys,
Her nobler sorrows Who had dared foretel
That only man, by some sad mockery,
Should learn to laugh who learns that he
must die?
