HERE is another swindle which
sharpers work on farmers. A
stranger calls to sell a tanning mill.
During his conversation and walk
about the farm with the farmer he
is sure to see a horse that just suits
him and offers to pay small sum

he asks for receipt for the money
deposited, stating he will go to the
bank and returned in day or two
for the animal. Such receipt turns
up later in the bank as a note against
the farmer.
A TERRIBLE epidemic is affecting
Darlington. The Republican says
that there are over thirty stricken

cope with. If the disease in its first
form is checked, cerebral trouble
sets in and death soon ensues. 1t
is most fatal to children, but the ex-
treme aged also fail before its raw

land county, was the scene of a
murder and suicide last Thursday
afternoon. George Moon, about 2 23
years of age, who had just returned
from Colorado, learned that during
his absence his affianced, Miss
Jennie Wooloyer, a domestic on the
farm of William Sletzer, had been
keeping company with another
young man. 1t seems that she pre-
ferred her later lover, for, on an
interview, Moon drew a revolver
and fired with such deadly effect
that she fell lifeless at his feet.
Moon claimed that the shooting
was accidental, kissed the q nd girl,
picked up his revolver aud shot
himself. Miss Woolover was about
is years of age and highly esteemed
in that neighborhood.

should get Demorest's Monthly for

giving u some artistic surprise, and
this feature added to the great
merit CT the literary portion of the

should be found in every household.
We were particularly struck with
some of the instructive articles in
this number; for instance, "The
Minister'S Parlor Furniture" gives
such a perfect lesson in upholster-
ing that any one can make over the
old furniture an article on "Read-
