The way to build up your town is to
always patronize the merchants and me-
chanics doing business there. Be liberal
to the churches and schools, and speak
we'll of the place and its Inhabitants, who
are your friends and your neighbors.
Encourage the establishment Of small ell
terprises as much as your means will per-
NIT. Let all be united, and the place will
grow almost spontaneously.
The Due Weet correspondent of the b.
beville Press and Bonner says: "Mr. Den
BON estimates that the damage done to
Erskine College by the falling wall can be
repaired for about one thousand dollars.
He thinks this very liberal estimate.
The damage is not as serious as irst sup
posed. The tower is In no danger what
ever of falling, and will not have to be
taken down, but can be easily repaired.
The cause of the fall is still unknown.
| Every one almost has a different theory
about it, but it is impossible TO tell what
gave away first"

Why Easter eggs are boiled is explained
by an exchange as follows: I'm Chris.
tian countries, from the fourth century,
the Church prohibited the use of eggs
during the forty days OF Lent; but, as the
hens did not cease to lay, large quantity
of eggs were found to have accumulated
at the end of the period of abstinence.
These wt.e usually given to the children,
and, in order to render them more at
traotive, they were dyed with gay colors
or otherwise ornamented. A favorite
game was to knock two eggs together,
and whichever broke became the property
of him who had the other. Of course this
would not profit much if the eggs were in
a fluid state, and thence came the custom
OF boiling them hard.
Mrs. Leila Tobert, the wife of Mr.. ]. L.
l.. Tolbert, is dead. After long illness
and much patient suffering she passed
away Tuesday evening about $50 o'clock
at the residence of her sister, Miss Lizzie
Williams, in this city. She was conscious
almost to the last moment, and assured
her loved ones that she would soon be at
rest with the angels at the saviour's
feet. Mrs. Talbert was the youngest
daughter of Capt. M. B. Williams. of
Piercetown, and possessed many noble
virtues of both heart and mind. In her
young girlhood she joined the Baptist
Church, and throughout her life was
most faithful member. BY her gentle
character, and bright, cheerful disposition,
she had won for herself many true friends,
all of whom sincerely mourn her death
and deeply sympathize with the loved ones
who are so sorely bereaved. Besides an
aged father and several brothers and sis
ters, she leaves q husband and little
four-year-ol daughter to cherish her
memory. The funeral service will take
