1t is now SO generally recognized that
Fertilizers are necessary to bring out the best
results on all old and partially exhausted Soils
that it is almost surperfiuous to say mole on
the subject than to call the attention of Farm
ers to the importance of buying the product of
those concerns whose experience and standing
offer the best guarantee as to the quality of the
goods offered.
Approaching the fact that money is scarce
and prices of grain very low, we have taken
great care in making our arrangements for sup
plies of Fertilizers for the Fall trade of 1886, and
Halter ourselves that we have secured the very
best articles that can be had in this line and at
the lowest possible cost to get goods of known
worth. In order to be able to sell these goods
low, we must make the expenses of handling
as small as possible, consequently we will not
sell through Agents, except
MR.. N. c. WATTS, who will sell and deliver
from CRIMORA, and
MR.. j. MARSHALL MCCLURE from GREEN
WILLIE.
At each of these points we have warehouse,
and will keep full supply ofjust such Fertil
iZers as we keep at Staunton. AS all observing
farmers know, it is q great saving of money
and annoyance to them and to the dealer to
trade directly, therefore. we hope our friends
and customers who have heretofore been called
on at their homes by us or our agents, will eX-
cuse us this season from visiting them.
We will keep in stock ready for delivery at
any time called for-early or late in the season

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING. Advert.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING. -Advertis-
ing in one way or another is undoubtedly
the great secret of success. P. T. Barnum,
who now has his millions, thus spoke to a
body of business men who asked his ad-
vice: "You do not any of you advertise
enough. You ought to invoke the printers
ink every day. You are asleep and want
your business to run itself. Standing adj
vertisements in paper command conf
dence. The man who for year resides in
one community, and leads a reputable life,
even though he be of moderate ability, will
grow in the confidence and esteem of bis
fellows. On the same principle news
paper advertisement becomes familiar in
the eyes of the reader. It may seldom be
read, still it makes the name and business
of the man familiar, and its presence in the
columns of paper inspires confidence in
the stability of the enterprise.

The difference between the innate princi-
pies of the Democrats and Republicans is
clearly shown by the tone of their respec

of Grant and Tilden. 1t would seem as if
Republican venom pursues an honest man

It's 4 pity that a good many young

The Anderson Wife Murderer.

Jap. Davis, the white man who shot and
killed his wife in the Shutdown neighbor-
hood OF Anderson, surrendered on Monday
to nephew of his and was carried to
Anderson and lodged in the county jail.
His victim was buried on Sunday from
Pissah church. Size was the daughter Of
Alexander Moore, worthy and substantial
farmer, and leaves five children, the eldest,
a daughter. being fifteen years old. At
the time she vas shot she was walking
with her daughter and son, one of them
short distance before her, the other fol
lowing behind. The gun used by Davis
was loaded with eight penny nails and shot
and the load took terrible effect. both the
unfortunate woman's eyes being shot o2t.
Davis has been living on Mrs. Martha
Bryant's plantation where ne was a rentcr.
He is said to be lazy, shiftless man, frc-
quently removing from one place TO an
other, but there seems to be 10 reason to
doubt that he is insane with suicidal and
homicidal tendency.
His son says he attempted to shoot Mrs
Davis fifteen months ago and was induced
to desist with much difficulty DR. Frank
Smith says Davis called on him some time
aso and asked for medicine with which TO
kill himself, and on being given anarcot:c
with Tie assurance that 1t was deadly poison
took it at q gulp.-Greencils Ns'cs.

chestnut far away in the dim pas +
late, ridicule, if not opprobrium, has been
the lot of the chestnut, and yet chestnuts
are not wholly undeserving consideration.
Homer is a chestnut; Shakespeare is q
chestnut; the ocean is chestnut; the moon
is chestnut; the Declaration of Indepen-
dence is chestnut. The best flights of
humor that divert the world are chestnuts.
Plots of plays and of novels are chestnuts.
All sermons are chestnuts. There IS moth
ing new under the sun. No sooner is o
fresh discovery made than it is found to be
3 chestnut. Every new invention is traced
to chestnutty origin. Why, then, should
the chestnut have fallen into such discredit?
Why should not the man who has heard a
q good story for the first time be permitted
to tell it to company of friends in ORDER
to afford them the same diversion it has af-
forded him, without being reproached as
puryeyor of chestnuts? His intentions are
of the best. He does not deserve the snecrs
of the man who has had the good or the
bad fortune to hear it before He does not
deserve to be terrified from making himself
entertaining according to the best means
known to him, in the fear of Insult because
somebody else may have already told what
he has to tell. Then, too, the man over
ready to shout Chestnut" is an offensive
egotist, who considers that what he has
heard and enjoyed should not be heard ana
enjoyed by others who may be present
when the unhappy story-teller attempts to
be entertaining. It it better to be teller
of thrice-told tales, over and over again,
than to be an inpolite and aggressive boor.
There is no merit in having heard story.
There may be much merit in the telling of
even Chestnut in bright and effective
manner. Besides, too, n05lssse o5liye. To
wound 8 mans feelings wartonly for no
greater cause than his effort to amuse to
the best of his ability is not the act OF
gentleman. To shout chestnut requires
no wit in the utterer; and finally, this de-
nunciation of chestnuts is becoming as
much of chestnut as is the Stalest chest
nut it is intended to extinguish.
