A Good House to Deal With.

Financial embalrassments are still
being reported. No longer than last
Friday V. & A. Meyer, Of New Or
leans, the third largest cotton firm in
the United States, suspended pay
ment and asked their creditors for
an extension of time on their paper
The cause of this is the slowness OF
collections, the low price of cotton,
and farmers holding their cotton for
higher prices.
The Levi Brothers, of Sumter, are
fortunately situated. They are not
forced to ship cotton, neither are they
compelled to buy cotton to keep in
with these large cotton firms, in order
to keep their credit intact. They buy
cotton and pay the highest market
price for it, but do so with their own
capital, and can afford to hold it until
the price goes up. These tremendous
failures that are occurring every day
can only effect such men as are forced
to do business on a borrowed capital,
but with q firm like the Levi Brothers
that have a solid cash capital these
failures prove a great benefit. It gives
them a chance to take advantage Of
any special bargains that may be put
on the market, and by taking advan-
tage OF these opportunities they nee
essarily buy in large quantities. Their
sales must be made quick with ex-
cecdingly small profits in order to
dispose of their purchases.
The Rittenhouse woolen mills, OF
Passaic, n. j., failed last week, and
their stock had to be disposed of; so
the Levi Brothers finding that they
could save their customers very
large percentage invested in number
of cases OF their goods, ard will sell
them at small margin, so there need
be no excuse for their friends to be
without wooden goods tl.is winter.
Our readers viii do well to visit
these gentlemen They are certainly
wide awake to the needs Of the peo
pie, and they never miss an opportu-
nifty to buy goods so as to draw Gus
toners. They are constantly making
contracts with the largest houses Of
the North and West, and in few days
ore of the firm will start for that
great western metropolis, the city Of
Chicago, to complete the greatest deal
that he has ever been in, and one that
promises many profitable returns.

statement will be borne out by refer

scarcely homein the the town but

hug the deadly devil to their hearts,
refusing to lend encouragement to
any efforts to shackle the mighty
monster, and the more deadly and Of
ten has been the bite of this serpent
in any family the more earnestly it
seems to us the desire is to nurture
this destroyer of heaven. home, and
happiness.
For the past few years, owing to the
active efforts of a Good Templars
lodge in this town, there has been less
whiskey drinking among our young
men than in any other country town
in the State. But for the past two
years this lodge has been disorgan-
lied, and tie effects of this disorgan-
izat:on are perceptible. Mothers, faith
ers, do you know that your boy one
night last week was drinking whiskey
that same boy of yours whom you
think too coed and noble to do an
evil thing? He got in lively compa-
ny, whiskey was produced, and what
win be the fate of those young boys
Heaven only knows.
When it was our pleasure and priv
ilege to have the instruction OF the
boys and girls of this town, we en-
deayored in season aud out Of season
to impress on their minds lessons of
morality and temperance, and we We're
8 hundred fold repaid by the grand
apparent results, but two or three
years have rolled by since then, the
precept was overcome by temptation
and surroundings, and last week some
OF these boys, noble boys too, were
under the influence of whiskey. Oh!
this is-a terrible evil, one that must
be fought day and night, the gigantic
monster evil of the world, and our
readers must not expect US to stand
idly by and see the dread destruction
go on among the young.
Z Temperance societies, as we have
often said, are not in our opinion for
the inebriate. Few men who once con-
tract the whiskey habit ever perma-
snently give it up. Il is the young
and the temperate that we wish to
save. We desire to keep one from
touching the foul evil, and then we
know he is in no danger
Mothers, fathers, friends of temper

we are sounding no false alarm or
dealing in no bombastic rhetoric; we
have stated plain, anvarnished facts.
Last week an effort was made to get
as many as seven Good Templsrs to-
gether to re-organize lodge, but the
effort failed; Col Demaree was adver-
hsed to deliver a temperance lecture
here last Sunday afternoon, the notice
of same was extended in the morning
through both churches in town, and
vet there were not a hundred persons
out to hear him; another effort was
made yesterday afternoon to re-organ

HANGING POCKET FOR GLASSES.
cidedly unique ia the way of hanging
holders is this cylindrical pocket for
the safe keeping of glasses, and it
may be made so easily that one might
well affold at this holiday season to
present one to every friend to whom
they would be OF service. The model
was made of remnant of broad
watered ribbon with /. satin stripe on
each edge; it was rich pansy-purple
in color, and the lining WAS of mex
pensive lining satin of ayeilow shade;
together they made warm glowing,
bit of brightness.
For a foundation cut a piece of
card board six inches wide by ten
inches long, lay the lining-seven by
eleven inches-smoothly over one
side, fold the edges over to the other
side and baste them securely, draw
ing it very closely; baste the ribbon
on the other side and neatly overland
the edges together all around with
fine silk; lap one end unevenly over
the other, as shown, and tack them
together; take round piece of card
board that will just fit inside, cover it
on both sides with the satin, slip it
into position at the bottom of the
case, and fasten It in just where it
will allow the glasses to peep out at
the top so they be readily taken out
when wanted. On the overlapping
end (before putting together) en-
broider or paint GA safe eye.opener,'
and near the top of the case pass
silk or chenille cord around and tie it
in knot at the back, and a few
inches above the top tie it again in u
bow with loops and ends.
Such holders about the house are
not only convenient, but a positive
necessity if one wosld avoid being
constantly harassed by the provoking
propensity of all glasses to lose them
selves when most urgently needed.
One soon learns the comfort Of being
sure where to find an "eye-opener,"
and the habit of dropping them al
acays in the holder as soon as removed
is quickly formed. Small pieces OF
silk, velvet, OF brocade, if tastefully
arranged, would make pretty cover;
and narrow ribbon might be subs;i-
tuted for the cord--or gilt or sill
vered chain to suspendit by and gilt
or silvered pendants at the corners
would be lovely for velvet or plush
covered pocket; the lettering would
then be done with gilt OF silver paint.
"Give as peep" or ooh! do let me
see," might be employed for inscrip,
tons, for variety, if several pockets
were to be made.
The same design is also exception
ally pretty for match safe. By push
ing round tin spice box, that will

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.
MRS S. \. NETTLES.

We give few suggestions for mat
ing Christmas presents, and hope
they may be of benefit to some of our
readers, for often it is not the gift but
the thought which comes with it that
we value. Some piece of haDdiwork
from a dear friend is more priced than
a costly memento would be from one
who we feel gives because it is "the
fashion" or in return for OF expecta-
ton of like favor. First we will tell
of head rest we are making for a
very dear old lady friend: Make two
cushions exactly alike, each about
eight by thirteen inches filing with
cotton to the thickness of an inch.
Cover with dark red cashmere and
work with yellow floss pretty open
design on one side. Procure sixteen
small brass rings, cover them with
double crochet, using yellow split
zephyr, tie a heavy tassel of the
zephyr in four of these, sew the re-
naming twelve along one side Of each
cushion at equal distances-a little
more than two inches-apart, lace to-
gether with half-inch yellow ribbon,
or cord and tassel of the zephyr,
letting the cushions hang two and
one-half OF three inches apart, fasten
one of the ring tassels to each of the
four lower corners, and your head
rest is complete. For Christmas
gift nothing is nicer, as it is very suit
able for any friend who may own a
chair.
Perhaps some may like to know
more about making these crochet
rings, which are used in fancy work
in a great many ways, and if pur-
chased ready-made the cost is consid-
cradle. The rings used are the small
brass ones which may be bought for
two OF three cents a dozen at fancy
goods or harness stores. Rope linen,
silk, or even wool may be used in GOV
ering them. Hold the ring between
thumb and forefnger Of the left hand,
put the hook through the ring, catch
the thread and draw it under, forming
a loop over the needle; next, put the
hook over the ring, take up the thread
and draw it through the loop. Now,
with the hook draw thread through
the ring, making two stitches on the
needle, take up the thread and draw
over the ring, through these two
stitches. Repeat until the ring is
covered. TO form a tassel or fringe,
cut silk of the length and thickness
desired, put it through the ring, and
tie snugly on the outside, close to the
ring.

As eggs are now plentiful and cheap
IL is a good time to store them away
against the time of scarcity and high
prices. One very good and easy way
is to mix one bushel of lime into
whitewash, aid two pounds of salt and
one half pound of cream of tarter.
Drop in the eggs gently day by day
until there are as many as the liquid
will cover.
Another way is to take one peck of
lime to fifteen gallons Of water; slack
in kettle or tub that will hold twent y
gallons. When Stacked, put in the
