the mornil lg hours tho blow of trumpet
and the tai of the drum could be heard
in the pri1 cipal streets as cantons
marched to and from the depot. Uni
formed men were mingling with the
masses and ladies were wearing the Or

At 3:3 . o'clock the signal gun doomed,
the dr. I'm tapped, the trumpets sounded,
and th e parade started. Along the line
of par ade tens of thousands of men,
womer and children had gathered, all
eager to witness every move. The
streets passed through were very wide
but we re inadequate to provide stand
ing roam for the spectators, and masses
surged to the centre of the street, allow
ing only few feet in the center for the

There was destructive prairie fire
burning south of town Friday. We
hear that the fire originated in the
town of Fairfield, sweeping across the
town of Horton and into the town of
Moore. We also learn that several
farmers have lost quite heavily by
having their flax and hay burned.
People should be very careful how
they handle fire this dry time
On Thursday afternoon, while en-
gagged in threshing for A. NJ. Moe, fire
was discovered in one of the stacks,
and before anything could be done,
everything was in blaze. Charley
Stebbins was threshing for Mr.. Moe
and the loss was four stacks of wheat,
for which we suppose Mr.. Stebbins
will be obliged to settle. It is too
bad, as Charley is hard working
man and a good thresher.
W. H. Holton returned Thursday
night from Minneapolis with a brand
new wife. To be more explicit, we
will say that on Monday, Sept. 9TH,
1891, at 3 o'clock p, m., in the city of
Minneapolis, W. Fl. Holton of the
village of Hancock, and Miss Abbie
Mills of the city of Minneapolis, were
made one and inseparable as long as
they both shall live-barring acci-
dents: We wish them a long and
happy life together.
On last Thursday afternoon while
A. E. Hulett's threshing machine was
at work on M. F. Sutherland's farm
south of this village, fire was discov-
cred on one of the stacks. The wind
was blowing very strong at the time,
and the. united efforts of the whole
threshing crew were unavailing in
checking the flames, and soon the
whole setting, four large stacks, was
in mass of flames. By doing some
lively work the crew saved the thresh-
ing rig. The fire fend seems to have
a grudge against our friend Hulett, as
this is the third time he has got in his
work within the last three years. We
understand that his loss this time is |
about $500, said amount being in pay
ment for grain burned.

A Few DOn'ts for Girls.
Ladies' Home Journal

Don't keep the fact that you are CORE
spending with some man a secret from
your mother.
Don't let any man kiss you or put his
arm around you unless you are engaged
TO be married TO him. and even then be
stingy with your favors.
Don't let Tom, Dick and Harry call you
by your first name and greet you with
some slang phrase.
Don't let any man believe that simply
for the asking he can get "that pretty
Smith girl, 4" or if he does believe so make
him know how deeply he has misjudged
you as his punishment.
Don't let him think he can get you to
go out driving simply for the asking, or to
accompany him to the concert, or to enter
tain him for an hour pour passer lie temps
when he can't find any one else to put TO
that use.
Don't write foolish letters to any one,
man or woman, for you never know who
will see them.
Don't think that YOU can 90 untidy all
day and then look very fine at night, for
fine feathers don't always make fine birds.
Don't believe that you can be careless
in speech and manner without its having
an absolutely bad moral effect upon you.
Girls, it is in your own hands as to
what you will be; an intelligent, charm
ing woman, or foolish, ignorant one. and
certainly if few "don'ts'' will save YOU
from being the last you ought not only to
read and learn. but inwardly digest and
practice

said. Also, they must never take more
than certain fixed amount of sugar in
their cups of coffee, no matter what the
cravings for it might be-
This last rule was great trial to Maxi
milan, Heinrich's younger brother, who
had particularly Sweet tooth"
On one occasion Frau Heine and her
children were at a garden restaurantin the
suburbs OF the city and had been eniov-
ing the fresh air and good coffee at the
same time. As they rose to leave the
table Max, then seven years old, saw that
large and tempting piece of sugar had
been left in the sugar bowl. Thinking
himself unobserved. he quickly seized il
and put it in mis- mouth.
Unfortunately for him he had been no
ticed by Heinrich, who, without meaning
to be a tale-bearer, ran to his mother with
an expression of horror on his face, as IL
he expected some calamity would in
stantly befsll them, and said, in sshocked
and astounded tone:
"Oh, mother, mother, would you believe
IL, Max has eaten the respect"

away. No rod was there. and the man
was simply seated upon the ground. al
though there had been no movement of
his body, and We could have sworn an in
slant before that he was at least two feet
above the floor.
There were fourteen tricks in all but it
would take too long to tell about them
all and l will describe only one more.
The carpet all around the conjurer became
violently agitated and presently six large
cobras and green snake appeared. They
gllded around the man and struck at him,
and the green snake twined about bis
neck. The performer arose, drew from
his girdle a long, sharp sword that GER
tainly was not there q minute before and
hewed the serpents in pieces. The blood
flowed freely and the severed parts
sQuirmed about, dyeing the white CASH
mere shawl crimson with their gore. At
q sign the attendant gathered up the
shawl by the ends and concealed the blood
and the snakes. At another sign he
spread the shawl out again and IL was
snowy white. The muilated reptiles, the
blood, all signs OF the slaughter had disap-
peared.
1--WE were stupefied and amazed. The
man was asked to give some explanation
OF his feats, but he smiled and said he had
done literally nothing. We insisted that
we had seen the things, and he replied:
You thought SO, but nothing was DONE
and then he went away.
1--WE looked at one another, rubbed our
eyes and separated. l was so dazed and
bewildered that in returning to the bar
racks l actually lost my way and didn't
feel like myself until the next morning.

Governor Hovey wanted the tax levy
for state purposes raised to p cents. It
was raised 10 Is cents in order to meet the
increasing demands of the benevolent in
stitutlons and to reduce the state debt
as rapidly as possible. The republicans
are finding fault with this increase for
legitimate purposes, but if IL had been in
the interests OF the mill-owners and other
protected pets it would have received their
hearty approval.

An Anecdote OF Heinrich Heine and Hi
Younger Brother.

Younger Brother.
The mother of Heinrich Heine, the
poet, was particularly careful about mat
tiers of etiquette, and her boys were
brought up with great strictness and occa-
sional severity. Among other things she
was extremely decided in her ideas of Ia
BILE etiquette, and her children's manners
in this regard were then thought quite ir-
reproachable.
They were taught when they were
guests at table never to eat all the food
which were put on their plates; q portion

An Advertisement.

The fsth day OF The eighth month
of the year ofgracp 1885 SIS " the
beginning Of the ADVERTISER.
To-day six years OF a moro or less
prosperous existence are finished
and a seventh ~ begun. The pa
pers birthday celebration must
consist only of few remarks con-
corning itself, which Will probably
be Of more interest to somebody,
who some day may rummage

changed for The first time. 1t is
still q democratic journal devoted
to the principle that the best gov
erned are tho least governed, with
the supremacyof the white man.
and the reduction of the tariff, lis
leading articles of political faith.
The form of the paper has been
changed from an. octave to a
quarto and the files show that
there has been Improvements In.
the papers appearance as printed
sheet. This Improvement has
been due to the outlay of more
money. The facilities of the pubs
fishing Office have in every way
been enlarged and bettered and a
week does not pass that there is
not some effort in the line of adj
vance. The subscription list is
larger to-day than 1t has ever been
before.
The paper has e%ndeavored to do
it's part by the city of Laurens. 1t
hopes to be of financial value to
business and professional men as
an advertising medium and be-
lieves that its circulation war
rants a liberal advertising patron
age, upon which to so large q de-
gree its own business success de-
ponds.
The Job Office connected with
the ADVERTISER has had liberal
treatment from business people.

of the ordinary wants of the COM
munity in its special line.

This is a practical age and prac-
teal ideas are finding Judgment in
the minds of the people. This is
particularly true in regard to the
tillers Of the soil. The majority of
the agricultural class of the people
have about reached that point
where they deem it imprudent to
tolerate a few subtle scheming men
to do their thinking and doing.
And as a consequence they do not
remain as mere wieldcrs of the
,plowsharc and sickle but are devcl-
,oping into living thinking beings.
