He was on the point of proposing, but
thought better of it for the moment and con-
tinued the conversation because of an organ
grinder outside. When the music stopped he
said: $50 you've never been in Europe, Miss

"Oh, no." she replied, II never expect to
see Europe until my wedding trip" Then he

A Good Wagon Jack.

The following description and illustra-
ton of wagon jack is contributed by
Ohio Farmer. To make one like the
model take two pieces q inches wide
and feet inches long, and two pieces
of the same width, 81 feet long. Make
the handle or lever of tough wood. The
notched piece is made out of board
four inches wide, and cut to the desired
height of jack, which is determined by
the wagon or vehicle. Cover the notches
with hoop iron, to preserve them from
bruising and MASKING. Five bolts are
needed.

says: Sweet clover possesses this advan-

with the fall flowers, it produces nice,
thick honey, which is second to none as
to quality and favor. Let all who have
waste land SOW it for the honey which it

The Sunday Drink No More.

| We are pleased to learn that tho sugges-
tien Of the Division of Sons of Temperance,
published in the TINES last week, that the
| barrooms be closed on the Sabbath day, was
promptly acted on by the Town Council and
psremptory order issued 10 that sffoct.
We are told that last Sunday no man could
get drink at either Of the three barrooms
in town "for either lovo or money" If
that 8 true, it is long step in the right di-
rection, and the action Of the council, we
can assure thsm, meets the most hearty en-.
dorsement Of those of their fellow citizens
who have any respect for that great COM
mandment of God "Remember the Sab
bath day, to keep it holy"
Selling on Sunday is ono of the great
evils Of the wbiskey business, and We be-
lisve that it is one fthe reasons why nearly
oil who make money by selling it die poor,
Look At the end of almost every man that
has sold whiskey in Union, aud we do not
know of one who continued in the business
that did not die poor, and some of them
miserable. One man tsld US not long before
his death, a few years ago, that he once
made msney by selling whiskey, but became
disgusted with the business, gave it up and
went to merchan dising. He then had be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. His mercantile
business did rot prosper for some time, and
he thought Of giving that up and going back
into the mhiskey business, but decided not
to do SO. lie further told US, he believed
that at that time he had lost nearly, if not
quite, all the wbisksy money he put into the
business. After that his business improved
and he began to accumulate property, but
he acknowledged frankly that he did not
believe the money he made by selling whis-
key bought one dollars worth of the prop
erty he then owned.
We can point to about twenty cases within
our knowledge where men made money by
selling whiSkey, but they all died penniless,
some in abject poverty, and some with terri
BILE family Affections. We firmly believe that
whisksy entails as great o curse upon the
those who sell on the
Sabbath day-as it does upon the poor
inebriats upon whom 1t fa,tsns its fangs,

WALHALLA.-Walhalla is the county seat
OF oconee county. The land where the
town stands was bought in 1850 by the
German colonization Society, and the first
building was erected in 1851. Probably
few persops in Oconee county know from
what the word Walhalla comes.
In Scandinavian mythology, Walhalla, or
Valhaiis, was palace or hall where the
souls Of kings and brave men dwelt after
death. In front Of the hall there was
beautiful grove OF trees, the leaves Of which
were of shining gold. Every morning the
souls WHO lived in Walhalla would march
out and have furious battle, but by dinner
lime their wounds would be healed. They

KELroN, March 6.-There is but littio
local news hero just now. Nobody dead,
nobody sick and psbody married.
The farmers in this vicinity have come TO
the wise conclusion that there 10 no money,
for them. in planting oil cotton, aud arc
going to change in that respect,
There have been more cats sowed this
year than ever before in this neighborhood,
and the crop looks promising. II that
crop turns out well this year our farmers
will have enough to feed their stock one
year. and then they will see the profit in
raising food instead Of buying It.
think there will be more upland corn
planted around here than for thirty years.
This is another good move. With oats
for their stock, aud corn, wheat and hogs
for their families, the farmers next year
will begin to see daylight through their
debts and do believe, Mr.. Editor, the
good, honest farmers intend this year to
get as near out Of debt as possible. If they
can't get quite Of debt this year, but have
their bread and meat on hand for next
year, they will be able to apply o good part
Of this years cotton to paying their debts,
and next year they will have but little
trouble to pay out. But they can't do 1t
by loafng around country stores or spend
| ing one-third of his time ina dead town.
Why, Mr.. Editor, one-half of our farmers
idle away the very time that they should
bo employed in raising their supplies. No
| body else can afford to be idle from three
tofour months in the year, and the farmers
can't afford it either, and keep out of debt.
The first year that farmed, loafed ABOUT
considerably. planted 25 acres in cotton
and made 8 bales. Ithen found out that l
could not lose day from the farm, unnec-
essarily, and pay my debts. There are
hundreds Of things to keep q man profit

the farm. If o mechanic loses o day he
