There are grand women III Arabia;

wife of a Syrian today are as follows:
She brings all the water for family use
from a distant well. This is accomplished
by filling immense jars and bringing
them upon her head. She rises early and
goes to the handmill of the village, car
rying corn. enough of which for the day s
bread she grinds by slow, laborlous pro-
cess. This she carries home and cooks IN
an oven. which is made in the earth. 1t
is a round hole, lined with oval and nat
stones, and heated by fire built in 1t.
When tie bread is mixed with water and
little salt she removes the ashes and
plasters little pats of dough against the
hot stones to cook. Could anything be

his nose and another canted high up on
his massive forehead.

Hollands Store Items.

Crops are doing first rate. Cotton is
growing very well since the warm showers.
Our farmers are very busy keeping pace
with General Green. Rust has appeared
on the wheat, "though we trust" will not
seriously damage it.
Cherries are turning red. Early peaches
are beginning to look tempting. Black
berries will soon be in, of which there is a
fine crop, all of which makes us feel like
we are highly favored people.
We would be glad if your correspondent
from the Fork would scare his "pup- -eater''
down the river. We have lot of worth
less CANNES in this section that we would
be glad to feed to him-could afford to give
him chicken or pig now and then to

The Cemetery.

As it will impose heavy tax on our cit
izens to refine and embellish the twenty.
fve acres of ground which the City Coun-
Gil has provided for its dead, I will make
the following suggestions That the slope
which lies east Of the parallelogram be ap-
propriated for cemetery, and the western
division for recreation grounds. It has
been calculated with mathematical certain
ty that six acres of ground is sufficient for
cemetery for century or more in city
of this size.
The parallelogram, which Is outlined by
two magnificent drive.ways, is well sup.
piled with trees and water-the two natu-
raj elements essential to the development
of suburban public grounds, and possess
ing, az it does, other natural advantages, If
art is brought to its aid, it will become one
of the loveliest places imaginable, and a
great center of attraction in our little city.
1t has been estimated that these grounds
contain about two miles of drive-ways,
besides walks and sections, artistically
designed for sleeping places for the dead.
1 am sorry to say that but little interest is
manifested in keeping them in proper
order, and the streets which lead to them
are miserably neglected. What COM
mentary on the public.spiritedness Of oul
city.
To adorn and beautify public grounds,
to say nothing C. keeping them in proper
condition, requires considerable outlay OF
money, but notwithstanding, it should
be the pride of our whole city to use every
available means to develop these grounds
in manner worthy of our growing city.
Both economy and the Typography OF
the twenty-eight acres, should be desid-
eratum in making them subserve both pur-
poses. Until the middle of the present
century no city in North America had
begun to make provision for a park. To
certain extent, cemeteries were made to
answer the purpose. A CITIZEN.

Post Office Rules,

The observance OF which will save mis-
takes, delays and trouble
When you mail letters for a particular
train, be sure that you deposit them in the
postoface before the hour published fol
that mail to close, or else don't blame any
one but yourself if your mail is delayed.
When you mail packages or papers, be
sure that you have sufficient postage on
them. Postmasters are not allowed to
send them unless fully prepaid. The
safest way is to hand them in, and ask il
you have sufficient postage on them.
There are four different classes of mail
matter, and a different rate of postage on
each. Ifyou are not posted as to the rate,
ask your postmaster,-it is his duty to give
you information on any postal regulations.
In sending money through the, post,
Office, the money order is safest and most
satisfactory. If you are not sending to a
money order Office, have your money reg
istered, and always register papers and
packages of value, although registered
letter requires more time when going over
different lines.
Ifyou have letter to send that is ur-
gent, or you want delivered Immediately
on its arrival, buy ten cent Especial de-
livery" stamp, and it will be delivered i'm.
mediately on its arrival, up to twelve
o'clock at night, by special messenger.
Don't ask the postmaster or clerk to
place stamps on your letters for you, as
they are tired of licking stamps. Don't
ask credit for stamps, as the postmaster
must refuse you or violate the law.
Ifyou think there is any thing wrong, or
any delay about your mail, don't 60
around accusing anybody of neglect or
carelessness before you report the same to
postmaster; tell him at once and he may
explain 1t to your satisfaction. Delays
are sometimes unavoidable.
When you hear the tlain arrive, don't
rush to the postofice and expect the post
master to have the mail all distributed in
ten minutes. There may be five hundred
letters. besides two or three bags of paper
mail, and you don't want any Of yours put
in the wrong box, and it takes little time
to do it all right.

I deem 1t my duty to announce that I
will not be candidate for reelection to
the Office ofSchool Commissioner. think
this announcement is due to my friends,
many of whom are under the impression
that I would again be before the people.
My sole object in declining to offer for re.
election is, that must seek more remu-
nerative employment. I have growing
family, and mans first duty is to his
family. To the people of Anderson
County, to whom few years ago 7 was q
stranger, am profoundly grateful for the
innumerable kindnesses they have shown
me. I shall ever cherish as one of the
happiest periods of my life, the four years
I served as School Commissioner of An
derson County, and wherever may be,
whatever I may be doing, I shall ever
consider it privilege to do any thing
that will further the educational interests
of the County.
With the deepest feeling Of gratitude to
the whole people, am,
