A BOOK TO BUy-Webster's International
Dictionary. This new book is the authentic
Unabridged, thoroughly revised and en-
larged under the supervision of Noah Por-
ter, D. D., L. L. D., of Yale University.
Editorial work on the revision has been in
active progress for over ten years. and more
than q hundred paid literary workers have
been engaged upon it. The sum expended
in its preparation before the first copy was
printed exceeded 100000. This work, well
used in family, will be of more value to
the members thereof than many times its
cost laid up in money.

1.-THE Gem of Sumter

Mr.. T. B. Curtis, of Sumter, S. c., has
lately moved into his store in the Monaghan
Block. This store is the gem of Sumter; in
fact it cannot be beaten in the whole coun-
try. Mr. Curtis is making special effort
in high grade teas, ana any one going
through this branch of his business, and
seeing the many Japanese trinkets display
ed, will almost forget himself and imagine
himself, CT herself, in Japanese tea mar
ket. While he pays special attention to teas,
nothing in the fancy grocery line passes
him. He buys the finest goo6s he can find.
Quality is his motto-price a secondary
consideration. This is why one finds so
many of Thurber, Whyland & Co.'S fine
groceries in his well assorted stock.--Aner-
icn7a Grocer, Nov. s..

II Saved NV Life.

After suffering for twelve years
from contagious blood poison, and
trying the best physicians attainable
and all the patent medicines procura-
bic, and steadily continuing to grow
worse, gave up all hopes of recovery,
and the physicians pronounced the
case incurable. Hoping against hope
I tried S. S. S. I improved from the
first bottle, and after taking twelve
was cured, sound and well, and for
two years have had no return or
symptom Of the vile disease. AS I
owe my life to S. S. S. I send this tes-
timony for publication.

The claim has been made time and
agaiin that if you but make liquor
Tree pus it within easy reach of any
and every person, that drunkenness
viii soon cease. We have always
doubted the correctness Of this reas-
oning. Pope's argument comes be-
fore our eyes in brightest letters:
wee is q monster of so frightful mien,
That to be hated, needs but to be seen,
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We pity, then endure, and then embrace.
If liquor is to be de..free, to be
sold anywhere, without any restric-
lions, the natural and first result will
be an early killing off of all the old
topen. Then will follow those noble
msn who keep from drink only by a
constant fight against the terrible
temptation, and into the fearful
maelstrom will be drawn many of our
thoughtIess youth, who otherwise
might have become useful citizens.
We hate liquor. It has done too
much harm to our country for US to
consider it with any other feeling.
And the use of wine or cider OF beer
Is but the stepping stone to the fear
full elimination of drunkard's doom
We're it within our power to destroy
the art of its manufacture no more
liquor would be made. The good de-
rived from its use in the arts and sci
ences and as q beverage sinks into
after insigni6eance when compared
with the great grief and destruction
il causes. Wine is mocker: be not
deceived.

A question of great interest just
now is who will succeed Gen. Hamp-
ton in the Z. S. Senate. A number of
persons are mentioned, and it is said
Col. ]. L. NJ. Irby may be the man.
We hope the Legislature will be care
ful in the selection, and that the best
man in the State will be elected. It
is generally conceded that General
Hampton will not be returned.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.
Mrs S. 4. NETTLES.

4 dainty little vase or flower hold
er is made by pressing small tum-
bier of thin glass into one Of the Jap
anese baskets so common everywhere.
Tie an inch-wide ribbon in a pretty
bow around the glass just above the
rim of the basket. When placing
flowers in this or any vase do not
crowd too many together; few
gracefully arranged give much more
pleasure.
Procure a toy Aat-iron Of rather
large size, cover the face with plush,
cumming it on neatly, and iasten a
tiny thermometer slanting upon it.
Bronze or gid that portion OF the
iron not covered by the plush, and
tie a bow of ribbon to match the lat
ter (peacock-blue is pretty with the
bronze) on the handle. This is easily
made and inexpensive, yet dainty
little gift fora friends writing-table.
There may be some young mothers
among your readers who, like myself,
do not understand the crocheting
"lingo," or have time to use it if they
did. I should like to tell them that [
made some dainty little sacks for my
baby out of fine flannel, cutting them
the same shape as the designs which
are crocheted. I made o..e Of baby
blue, one of cream-wbite, and one of
cardinal, "for every day." Pink the
edges all around, of the sleeves and
collar as we'll, and work row of
feather-stitching in silk near the edge.
If wanted especially nice, embroider
a vine of white flowers around it. Tie
the neck with narrow ribbons.-C p.
e. in Arthur's Home Magazine.
In reply to Mrs B's request we pub
lish receipt for lmon salad (very
nice) One pint can of salmon, pick
ed in pieces and the bones removed:
about one quart Of cabbage, measur-
ed after being chopped very fine, six
small cucumber pickles, two hard
boiled eggs. and one-half cup of eel
cry, all chopped fine; if celery cannot
be procured, soak tablespoonful Of
celery seed in two spooDfuls of vine
gar over night and use the vinegar.
Garnish with parsley, beet, pickles, or
lettuce.
Roll JELLY CAKE-One cup of
white sugar, one-half teacup of sweet
milk, two eggs, one cup of -four, two
teaspoonfuls of cream tartar, one
fourth teaspoonful of soda, and a
pinch of salt. This will make two
cakes in square tin. Have the oven
ready, put the cakes in, and while they
are baking get a cloth and the Jelly
ready on the table. AS soon as baked
turn the cakes one at a time out on
the cloth, spread with jelly or marina
lade, roll up tightly in the cloth, and
lay them where they will cool Han
die carefully or they may fall. This
makes as nice jelly cake as you will
want to eat, and does not taste OF
eggs If desired, flavor to suit your
taste. One cake may be baked at a
time if more convenient; it Will not
injure the mixture to stand.
The most pleasing decoration for
any room where there is warm south
ern and eastern light is window
shelf furnished with a decorated win
dow-box full of running green vines
and towering plants. If a window
box is not easily attainable, one may
have their plants in simple red pot
terry flower pots. Keep the pots and
plants clean, and you will always have
a picture in your room.

We THOUGHT Senator Vance would
bring Superintendent of the Census Por-
ter up with Jolt when he replied to his
letter in reference to the alleged difficulty
of taking the census in Ashcvillc, which
was no doubt grossly exaggerated, as
he expressed the opinion it was, and as
Senator Vance also says it doubtless
was. The Senator informs Mr.. Porter
that If the cnumerators have sense
enough to behave dccently they would
encounter no more trouble in getting the
information they 20, in Ashcvillc
than they would anywhere, and takes
occasion to pointedly remind him in re-
turn to his assertion that democrats
were not refused appointment as cnunl-
orators because they were democrats,
that he tScnator Vance had letters from
North Carolina recalling number of i'll
stances where democratic cnumcratnrs
had been removed, after some of them
had begun work, to make places for re-
publicans, some OF whom were colored
men. lie might have added that these
removals were made to quiet the howls
of the hungry little republicans who
wanted the places and were enfaged be.
cause democrats had been appointed.
The cnumcrators who revoked the ap
pointmcnts of democrats excused them
selves for doing so, alleging that they
did so in obedience to instructions from

FOR A WORTHY OBJECT.

Since the two boys were bitten ycstcr-
day by what was supposed to be mad
dog, it has been suggested that a sub
scription bc raised and that the victims
be sent to DR.. Paul Gibicrs pastcur cs-
tablishment in New York City for treat
ment. THE CITIZEN is always ready to
voice the requests OF the people and par
ticularly one so worthy. For that rea-
son il has caused to b, placed in the bus.
ness Office paper that may be signed by
those who wish to contribute to the
cause. The list is headed by The CITIZEN
with contribution of SO.
That the good people OF Ashcvlle will
see that enough money is raised to send
the boys to New York, we have no
doubt. Many havccxprcsscd themselves
as desirous of giving for that object and
will when they learn that subscription
has been started. The two boys James
Scott and Thomas Corpcning, both col
orcd, should have the proper medical at
tcntion. The people OF Ashcville should
see that they do. Of course there is some
question as to the dogs being mad, but
the boys should have the benefit OF the
doubt.
Everybody is asked to subscribe to the
list and at once. There is no time to be
lost. The names of the contributors will
appear in THE CITIZEN from day to day,
