Beautiful Guilt.

The most beautiful Quilt to he seen any
where is at the store Of McSsrS. Bell q Gal
fect the word, hnt we believe the ladies
describe 1t as an "embrodered Quilt" we add
ing that it is the crazie>t of the crazy kind,
wi tn figures, shapes and combinations so be-
nf the beholder and strike him dumb with
admiration. This scribe had the good fortune
to have some of the beauties and ATTRACTIONS
of this superb quilt pointed out to him in
person by the kairest of the adorable
tiivinities, and this fact lent an additional
charm to that which was before indescr b.
ably beautiful. We at once "took chaace'
.,t that Quilt on condition that Mr.. H. D.
Reese nc not allowed 10 have "chance.' He
always wins at every rattle. AS q matter OF
special favor to them q few other OF our
Young men will be allowed to have chance
n the lovelieSt q uilt in the town. Call Speed
il Neuffer'S and see the quilt.

retail spirits on Sunday without medical
prescription. We mention this because doc

that n local phycician gave the order, for the

It seems strange that in this age Of the
world. anybody should think Of bringing up
girls without having them acquire some means
OF selfsupport. And yet we often see whole
family of girls who read a little and play q
little and do'a little family work and other
things about half way, blissfully UNCONSCIOUS
of any ability to earn n cent, even If they
were starving. They are expected to get mar.
ried, but are not even taught housekeeping
and sewing. Oh, what reclilcssncss for their
future happiness and prosperity! No girls
education IS "fnshed' till she has n thorough
knowledge OF some trade or business which
will enable her TO support herself. And she
cant be even lady in the best sense without
that ability.

Good News for the Teachers.

We learn from the cashier of the National
Bank at Ahbeville that our wide-awake and
ever thoughtful School Commissioner. George
c. HODGES. has made arrangements with the
bank to have the pay certificates of teachers
cent. month. For instance: the discount in
February would he eight per cent; in March,
seven per cent, and so on down. This Will,
in the aggregate, save to the teachers q large
amount Of money. We believe the lowest
price at which these papers have been hereto
fore shaved has bee n ten per cent. off, no mat
ter how near the day for the collection of tax
es. Let the bank and the School Commission
er be thanked.

All, sad are they Who know not life,
But far from PASSIONS tears and smiles
Drift down a moopless sea beyond
The silvery coast Of fairy isles.
And sadder they whose longing lips
Kiss empty air and never touch
The dear, warm mouth of those they love
Waiting, wastii1g, suffering much.
But clear as amber, fine rs musk,
Is life TO those who pilgrim wise
Move hand in hand from dawn to dusk

And nestle in His heart by night.
