READING
CLOTHING ADVERTISEMENTS

Get bewildered. so to speak, midst these
many guide boards all pointing in differ
ent directions. yet all protesting to di-
rect you to the destlnation-the best
place to buy. Or don't you read adver-
tisements: In that case you make a
greater mistake than the careless reading
OF too many. since in the effort to avoid
a wrong or wrong direction You shut
your eyes to the right one. Honesty can
be easily recognized in advertisements as
in everything else. It only requires 4
little care in the looking.

Ja1apa Jottings-

We are still having good rains, and
crops are growing rapidly. One OF our
farmers wants to know ii Il compromise
could be made with Gen. Green until we
get our grain cut. This is thebusiestyear
farmers have had for some years past. l
can't see how some planters will man
age to get through with their grain and
clean all their cotton crops. Ny opinion
is, they can't, unless we have about four
or five weeks drought.
On the 9th Of this moath asstornl
passed through the lower portion Of
,Laurens County and (anlag red the grain
crop very much BY blowing it down. -
The oat crop beinsso thin zit will be
impossible to gather it as it should be,
and would advise all farnieT 10 plough
under their stubble in the7aJLef .pafE of
|. July or first OF August. Seed oats this
year will command a GOOD price, and
by plowing under the stubbie the lar
mers will saye good many dollars.
Complaint is made against the foxes
eating up turkeys and chickens. They
are getting to be very numerous in this
county, and I predict that in a few more
years we will not be able to raise any
pigs or lambs unless some preventive
be applied to destroy them; =.

From Liberty Hall.

Last Friday, vending our way to the
hospitable residence OF Mr.. L. johnson
OF Laurens, we were Influenced by the
beautiful scenery and holy calm that
surrounded Liberty Hill Church to turn
our footsteps in that direction and enjoy
a few moments of sober reflection
among the monuments, which seemed
as scntipels exercising loving care o'er
each silent tenant of ''the city Of the
dead"; and as we lovingly fingered
round the graves of friends that had
placed bright flowers in our bouquet OF
life. the mournful tenor of our thoughts
We're suddenly diverted by the appear

and threw shower OF bright rays

City, basking in the resplendent 'ays

sorrow rested lightly on our hearts, as
the memory OF those fond by-gone days
-fraught with gentleness and -loy-lm-
parted a halo around us simultaneously
with that of the radiant sunset.
On Saturday, we and crowd from
Mr.. Johnson's went fishing, the result
OF our labor being three rabbits and
only one fish, combined with some
amusing adventures OF fright and dis

Falling in the creek was the order OF the
day, and the yells of the boys and bark

would rather attempt the capture OF fish
