SANDY GROVE, Mar. l2.-We are having

to plow or burn logs. The roads are very

days ago. Business was very dull, except
the guano trade was informed that there
had been more guano sold at that place this
season than they ever knew before. They
must be going TO manure higher. I Eear a
great many of them say that they are not
going to plant as much cotton as last year.
If we would make a plenty of corn, and
then rs much cotton as we could, VIC would
certainly be better Off for the price of cotton
is down, and the price of corn is up. a
great many Of the farmers in our section
are still holding some of their last year
cotton.
We would be glad to hear from Mr.. J. NJ.
might again on teaching, and would like
for him to express his opinion in regard to
abandoning the use of the rod in our coun-
try schools.
The tinny tribe will be apt to rise well If
high water is any sign, but don't fear the
cotton in Sandy Grove being injured If P.
Y. finds the lakes in time.
The grip seems to be subsiding, and the
general health tolerable good.

Heed ti1e Warning.

1t is not infrequently the case that
itching pimples and irritating ''cat
boils' are the forcruuners of larger
boiis or the more serious carbuncles.
Invariably nature puts out her danger
signals, and they should be needed at
once. The pimples and little boils
show that the blood is no. in & good
condition, and nature is trying to re-
lieve the system. A few doses Of
Swift's Specific at this juGcture will
accomplish wonders. The eruption
will be healed and the system cleans
ed OF its impurities. The modern
paraphrase Of the old saying, "a
stitch in time" etc, is that Timely
stitches will save nine pairs Of breech-
es." The modern form has a touch Of
humor that does not modify the truth
OF it. In that vein, we may say that
a course Of Switt's Specific prevents
ills terrific.

Money In Chickens and Eggs.

Some time ago we called attention to the
raising of fine poultry in Clarendon. For
several weeks past we have been publishing
an advertisement Of eggs for sale BY Mr.. W.
E. Minis Of Sumter, who probably has the
finest chickens in the State. He has fowls
that cost SIS each. These fowls viii lay
more eggs and weigh more than the com
mon fowl, and with but little care, there Is
10 danger of losing them by disease. Ii
our people would but take hold Of this IN
dostry, it would pay far better than raising
cotton. Any lady could by a little effort on
her part make more money than she would
want to spend. 5000 could easily be made
every year, and at a very small expense.
Write to W. E. Minis or to ". 5. Murray,
Of Sumter, both Of whom have advertise
ments in the TINES, and get full part!cu-
lars from them.

! Exc Lie INSURANCE NomnaNy.

Life insurance to q limited extent any
way, is almost demanded of every one wh"
has persons dependent or him for support.
But in choosing a life Insurance company,
great care should be exhibited, so as TO Sc
lect strong, liberal company. The New
York Mutual is one of the finest IN the
world, both as to strength and hbcrallty
We saw recently 4 comparison between this
company and the Equitable in which the
Mutual made decidedly the best showing.
Both these companies are good, and We
have policy in each, but we consider the
New York Mutual the best Of the two. In
another column Will be found the annual
statement Of this company, which IS one OF
the finest exhibits ever made by any insur-
ance company.

Was the Child Killed!

Quite sensation was created among the
colored population las: week by report Of
the sudden death and burial of co'ored
infant. The mother Of the child lives in
''WeiD berg Town" and her name is Miss
Hattie CubbaSe.
Coroner Rowe was informed of the sud-
den death last Wednesday, and on Thurs
day G jury of inquest was organized by him
to find out whether there was any grounds
for the suspicious of foul play that We're be-
ing entertained by the colored people liv-
ing in that section Of the town. This jury
failed to arrive at conclusion. Some OF
the jury believed that the child had been
killed, while others believed that 1t died
from naturol causes Failing to render 4
verdict Coroner Rowe discharged them, and
on Saturday another jury was enpanelled
and the much inquested inquest was again
held IN the court house. The body Of the
child had not been disinterred, and the ju-
~ had nothing before them but the testl-
mony of several colored people.
They listened to the statement of seven
witnesses, each of whom had a different
story to disclose, but it was very evident
from their statements that the child had not
received the tender care and attention 1t
should have received.
The examination tool; up the entire
morning, and then several hours We're taken
up by the jury trying to determine how the
infant came to its death. They likewise
failed to come to an agreement, and Coroner
Rowe being notified that it was impossible
for them to agree, ordered recess to be
taken until Monday morning.
Monday morning the jury resumed their
c-or- of iOcriTy and there being no more
light thrown upon the mystery, they came
to the conclusion to abandon further efforts,
and decided that the child came to its death
from natural causes.
This decision does not meet with the ap-
proval of some of the colored folks, who
think that the jury should have had the
body of the child disinterred and examined
by physicians.

holland County Record: We
are having some nice weather for
the past week. Wheat is looking
fine since the SHOWS. There is a
good season in the ground and the
farmers are busy preparing their
ground for spring crops.
Farmers are very busy ploying,
the Fisher County Call. They are
getting their land in most excellent
condition. Wheat looks very well,
and we are of the opinion that we
are going to have Fisher county
biscuit to eat another year. Now
let us raise our meat and sorghum
and we will be much better off.
The German colony at Muen.

town of Muenster has population
of 800, and there are about 100
more living on farms near by. This
is doing well for eighteen months,
the time that has elapsed since the
colony was started.
1t is generally conceded that in
the event that Hood is declared to
be Bowie's county seat that New
Boston will lose its postofice, ow-
ing to the fact that the law requires
it to be at the county seat, and that
Boston is less than three miles from
Hood. It is also rumored that
County Clerk Rarriston will at an
early date embark in the newspaper
business at the new seat, for the
purpose, we suppose, of enriehing
his earthly estate and laying foun-
dation for fame.
