From POntOtOe.
PoNroroc, Feb. %, 1889.

The receipt of a copy of youl
neat and newsy sheet, leads me tc
pencil a few items from this part
of the moral VINEYARD, which it is
hoped, will be acceptable to you
and your readers. Having, years
agone, sat on the tripod, 1 still
have fellow-feeling for that hon.
cradle profession, nor do l know
how the world cou' set along in
this stirring age without the news
paper. Some people, with whom
Ignorance is bliss" think it would
be money wasted to subscribe for
then home paper, or induce another
to do so, but for my part, l had
rather pay trebble the cost, than
to be deprived of the pleasure of
their perusal.
In this section, the measels have
prevailed during the winter. Pom
totoc has been hospital. Not
only children, but a number of
grown persons have been its VIC
tins. Two of our citizens have
died of pneumonia in connection
with the measels, viz: Mr.. J. G..
Paschal, who was buried week
before last, and now Miss Emma
Horn, who will be borne to her
last resting place to-day-Febru-
airy %. The former left a wife
and seven children; the latter,
departing in the bloom of young
womanhood, leaves parents and
brothers and sisters, and associ-
ates, to shed their tears and plant
flowers DER her early grave. The

GALVESTON, Tex, March LIN
the past few days a number of
splendidly executed counterfeit 81
silver certificates have been put in
circulation in this city. Several
merchants and others have accep-
ted them as good, only to have
them thrown out by the banks.
The northern and eastern cities
have recently been flooded with
this spurious currency, and it is
thought that the gang engaged in
showing these bogus bills have
transferred their operations to the
southern cities. The authorities
are on the alert, but thus far have
not run upon any member of the
gang.

Drawer 3, Augusta, Ga,

At Del Rio Mrs. Robert Nc
Mahon, wife of railroad man
went out into her back yard to
look after some clothes drying on
line, leaving her six months old
babe in its cradle with no one else
IN the room. While the mother
was out white rat, the household
pet, climbed into the cradle and
proceeded to mince ON the helpless
infant. The pet rodent nibbled
out an eye of the baby, took nip
off the right arm, bit off a big slice
of the nose, and was merrily nib
bling into the baby's throat when
the mother came to the rescue IN
response to her child's screams.
It Is thought the baby will die.
The pet rat has been killed.

The agricultural advancement of
the south will be more marked in
the next ten years than it has been
in the past ten. The southern
farmers are becoming alive to the
necessity of changing their meth
DDS, and as new methods are adop-
ted they will become more indie
pendent. Agricultural immigra-
ton, which is being sought more
than ever before, will help along
the development of the south to a
consic sFabfe extent. = Savannah
News.
a novel fuel has come into use
in Yasa Valley, Cal. 1t is peach
stones, which are said to be as
good a fire for household purposes
as the best kind of coal; in fact, it
is said that an equal number of
pounds will last as long and give a
greater intensity of heat than coal.
The fruit-growers dispose of the
stones at the rate of six dollars per
ton. Apricot stones do not burn
as readily as the peach, and do not
command quite as good a price.

Brother in Black.

Two or three years ago, a negro
boy on my place near Franklin,
Ky, was tormented with an ap-
parentIy incurable case of Scrofula,
which lasted him long time, and
gave him great trouble. After
trying many other remedies, 1 at
length went to DR.. Morris drug
store in this place and bought sew
eral bottles of S.S.S., by taking
which, and nothing else, he was
fully and permanently cured. lie
is now stout man, and at the time
1 commenced giving him S.S.S.,
the bones were working out of his
could use but one arm, and
the doctors said nothing could do
him any good; but 1 had tried
SIS. and seen it tried, and felt
that it would cure him.

1 was the victim of the worst
Catarrh that 1 ever heard of. 1
was entirely deaf in one ear, and
all the inside of my nose, including
part of the bone, sloughed off. No
treatment benefited me, and ply
sicians said I would never be any
better. I took S.S.S. as a last
resort, and II has entirely cured
me. 1 have been we'll four years,
and no sign of return of the dread

OIL EXCHANGE NOMINATIOEs.

The Brokers win Meet To-day to Name
Their FavOrites for 1890.
The nominations'o of officers, directors and
arbitrators Of the Oil Exchange to be elected
January 2, to serve for the year 1890. will
be made at the Exchange to-day. A slate
has already been prepared on which nearly
every large brokerage firm is represen ted.
Considerable Observation-Disclosures among the
brokers owing to the condition which the
Exchange is in at present and the state OF
trade.
A broker whose name appears on the slate
said Yesterday: I'VE want to try and make
this institution an Exchange. Now it is
scarcely more than tool for the bucket
shops. We want to have all, stocks, in
which local parties are interested, listed and
traded in on the floor. 1t would be bless
ing not only to the members but the city.
As iE is now the public has lost confidence in
speculatots and brokers. We want to
remedy this, and can do so if the members
would only pull together, but when one at
tempts to do anything for the good of the
Exchange the others get mad, and crush the
reformer."

THE ABSOLUTE PERFECr1ON

OF the Hardman and the krakauer Pianos.
They are used BY the best musicians, cul-
tivated amateurs and people of intelligence
generally. The charm of the mechanism
and tone Of these two makes of pianos cap
tivates all who hear them. Even those who
have been welded for years to other instru-
ments must acknowledge, if they are honest,
that the Hardman and Krakauer makesare
the peers of them all. As a Christmas or q
New Years gift a Hardmau or a Kra-
kauer piano is without a rival. A most
magnificent stock of these and other we'll

Speeches and Goods.
If you know the goods you
have a key to the speeches
about it. One house talks ex-
travagantly about common
clothing. ANOTHER, whose
goods are reliable. says less
about them than they would
be justified.
The same rule holds about
prices. One makes a speech
that you wonder at about re-
ductions in price. Another.
whose prices are always low,
tells quietly about making
them lower still. The one
uses snowy phrases; the other,
effective, plain talk.
We believe you are always
ready to accept our speeches
about Wanamaker Clothing
at par. We mean just what's
said, and give what's promised
full value.
