Notice..

To the patrons of Pickens schools
From the 1st March next, for theltcrm of
school beginning then and ending in June,
the rates of tuition will range from 81. 90
to $3.50 to those who enter their children
regularly, but to those who do not, the reg
ular rates will be charged. Those who do
not see me about it, will take for granted
that they wish them entered upon the reg
uar roll and will give them the advantage
of the reduction. This will enable anyone
who wishes to educate his children to do it
at small cost. w. Is. JUsTus.

The DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE

He Stands . Type of Stanch and Rugged
Honesty
The strongest party with the strongest
principles and purposes offers for the
suffrage of the American people the
strongest personality in American pub
lie life The national democratic con-
ventiop has nominated Grover Cleve-
land for the presidency.
Those who met at Chicago IN conven-
ton represent the great majority OF
the people Of this country, as has been
demonstrated time and again at the
polls The creed they formulated is
the peoples creed, articles of faith to
establish and exemplify which our gov
eminent was formed and must be main
tanned. To embody adequately in the
candidate the great. honest purposes of
democracy, its wholesouled devotion
to the people, its courage, its convic-
tions, its rugged honesty, its contempt
for guile, its progressive spirit, its ma
tional character, was the duty before
the convention, and noblY has ii been
discharged
Grover Cleveland stands before the
country as the type of the ruggedly
honest man in public life. He is of the
people and for the people. one whose
whole official career has been a record
of unselfish, unfaltering devotion to the
welfare of the people. And this nom
nation has been made by the people.
Short-sighted expediency has doubted
its wisdom and contrived artful meth

terry. But first he found the house
where he had lived as boy. 1t looked
painfully riclzety and surprisingly
small So he FASTENED from before it,
and went up by a back street
across the town creek and up hill,
where at last he stood before the GENE
terry gate. 1t was locked: so he climbed
over the wall He went still further
up the hill, past tombstones that locked
very white and trees that looked very
green in the moonlight At the top of
the hill he found his fathers grave.
Beside it was another mound and at
the head of this plain little pillar.
The moon was high now and the tramp
was used to seeing in the night. Word
by word he could slowly read upon the
marble this inscription:
civilian Albert, beloved son of the late
Thomas kershav and his wife Rachel; born in
Brlckyine, August 2, 1862; drowned in the Allie
gheny river near Pittsburgh, July p. 1877. while
heroically endeavorins to save the life Of a
child
The tramp laughed and then uttered
sigh.
'I wonder" he said, aloud, what
poor blolze it IS that's dom duty for me
under the ground here!'
And at the thought that he owed an
excellent posthumous reputation to the
unknown who had happened to re-
semble him fifteen years before, he
laughed louder. Having no one near to
share his mirth he looked up at the
amiable moon and nodded knowingly
thereat, as if to say:
''This is fine joke we're enjoying
between US, isn't it?''
And by and by he remembered that
he was being waited for, and he strobe
from the grave and from the cemetery.
By the railroad the short tramp, hav-
ing smoked ali the refuse tobacco in
his possession, was growing impatient
Already the expected coal train had
heralded its advent by whistle and puff
| and roar when his associate joined him.
Found out all you wanted to
know?" queried the stout little vag-
abond, starting down the embankment
to mount the train
| Yep" answered the tall vagrant,
contentedly.
The small man grasped the iron rod
attached to the side of one of the NOV
ing coal cars and swung his foot into
the iron stirrup beneath. His com.
panion mounted the next car in the
same way.
Are you all right, Kersh?" shouted
back the short tramp, standing safe
above the bumpers"
''All right" replied the tall tramp
climbing upon the end of car. but
don't ever call me kersh any more.

HE. Stevenson. the Democratic NomtoSe
for Vice President.
The nomination of AdlRi E. Steven
son for vice president is a compliment
to a distinguished citizen OF Illinois
which the democrats of this state viii
not fail to appreciate with heartiness
and enthusiasm But for the fact that
Gray. OF Indiana, had apparently been
slated for second place on the ticket by
Mr.. ClevelandS managers, the selec-
ton Of Mr.. Stevenson would look as if
those managers were preparing for the
possible loss of New York by making
Illinois battle ground
The compliment of Mr. Stevenson Is
nomination is worthily bestowed He
is an earnest, brainy and courageous
democrat, who holds tenaciously to the
doctrine that, all things else being
equal, a democrat Is better than a re-
publican, especially when the question
OF choosing an occupant for federal
office is under consideration
During his administration as first as
sistant postmaster general under Pres
ident Cleveland Mr.. Stevenson ap
pointed forty thousand democratic post
masters throughout the country. TIC
