III Married Belle.

Nowhere does the young married
woman reign in greater supremacy
than in the social circles of our
own land. She has overcome the
shyness Of girlhood, though in
many cases she is still young
enough to be in the school-room.
Her manners have acquired a GER
tain roundness and her conyersa-
ton a grace and elegance that
make her most attractive to men,
both old and young. Being herself
matrimonially disposed of, a man
has no conjunction in paying her
attentions that would be at once
misconstrued if given to her single
sister. He can dance with her as
often as he likes, chat with her
freely, and the world after their
second meeting does not announce
their engagement. Moreover the
married woman understands men
better the debutante. The latter,
expecting to receive alteration, is
vexed and put out if she does not
obtain as much as she deems sufi-
cient as tribute to her beauty.
The married woman, on the other
hand, has learned by experience
that men expect to be hattered as
we'll as women, and in a happy 1T
tie way of her own appeals to a
mans vanity and does not for one
moment bore him, which is the Sc
cret of the entire matter. There
is no place so thoroughly delight
full to visit as the home of a young
couple whose tastes are congenial
and whose hospitable instincts well
come within their gates friends of
husband and wife alike. a man is
proud Of the wife that is popular
with his friends; that, however,
does not mean the one who makes
eyes and flirts boldly with every
man that is introduced to her, but
the one who holds out a friendly
hand to the men friends who find
her house pleasanter than the club,
because presided over by a bright
woman who is not fussy if they
smoke in her parlor and who adds
to rather than detracts from their
meetings. She 1t Is whom thew
will swear by, whom they regard
In the light of a sister, and who is
the best friend a man can have out
side of his mother and his own
wife. When she goes out her hus-
bands friends will do all in thor
power to make her evening as hap
Ply as in the days before she bore
the name Of Observation-Disclosures
Times.

Long Branch.

The reason we have not made
our appearance in so long is be,
cause we have been waging war
so heavily with General Green.
but now that we have him about
subdued we show up again.
The weather now is about the
hottest we have had. You a not

Threshing wheat is about over
for this season. This section has
been well supplied with threshers
there having been three in this inn

j. II. Blakely did not make the
two hundred bushels of wheat he
was expecting off his ten acres,
but made one hundred and eighty

The Answer Of q Mother,
To Editor of ADVERTISER:

10 Editor of ADVERTISER:
AS a member of the class so strongly
inyeighed against by rs" in the last H.
sue of the ADVERTISER, it behooves me
both to endeavor to produce somewhat
Of adefense against the majority of the
charges made and yet to acknowledge
and my thorough appreciation of the
fact that through all he seems to have
had the good of the community at heart.
That society IS needed In Laurens is
an undeniable fact, and that she Is wo-
fully behind her sister cities in that par
ticular Is also indisputable, but where
your contributor of last week mado a
very sweeping statement was in saying
ing that the prime cause of this state OF
things was "~selfshness."
We are only to we'll aware of the fact
that u daughters are growing old be-
fore their time, and that our boys need
to spend their leisure more proftably
than by becoming accomplished loafers
but to all these things we haye become
Injured.
The writer does not do us poor women
the slightest justice but what mas
culine mind ever will DO able to grasp
the fact that we are all Marthas, busy
with much serving and, I may add, for
the sake OF the comfort and happiness
of the "Lords of Creation" in nine cases
out Of ten. Selfish we mothers are not,
but busy, full of many caros, wo un-
doubleday are.
The care for the material we'll being of
our children is too engrossing to prevent
of our doing more for thom. We worry
ourselves no little when we have time to
think OF these things, whichis not often,
but we know not how to help the mat
ter. Instinctiyely we turn to another
to aid us on this line. Who should as
sumo this duty if mo- the fathers2 They
at least have their evenings at their dis
posal with never a thought of what is to
be had for breakfast or the fear of the
servants taking French leave to spring
upon their minds-but there is nothing
SO pleasant as an arm chair and a cigar
OF course that ends the matter, ended it
in fact long years ago. So it appears to
your correspondent, Mr.. Editor, that
selfshness might be charged, if anything
OF discredit could be, to the opposite sex,
without saying one word against the
woman, the variety of whose occupa-
lions would appear incredible If enume-
rated.
Still something ought TO be done for
u young folks, for our girls and "S''
can lay the "fattering JUNCTION to his
soul" that his words have determined
ono woman, at least, to "be up and do.
ing'' in some wise even though she fail
that it may be no longer said that 'the
need of society in Laurens" Is duo TO
the non-self-sacrificing spirit Of its wo-
mankind.

Tho Medical Profession.

Every new treatment, every fresh
drug, every medicine that is discovered
is one moro drop from the great ocean
Of knowledge segregated that we may
study 1t for the benefit of mankind. In
1t there are good and evil, but if we ap;
proach it with reverent earnestness and
study that we may know we can assure
ourselves that wo are helping on the
great science to which we have devoted
u lives. This is reward enough, and
this reward shall surely como to the
physician who will work. The amelio.
ration Of the physical ills Of man is the
end and aim of u most noble profes
sion, and it is pleasant to remember that
oven the enthusiasts aid in the great
work by their devotion to their fads,--

Total. $40.

Iii all these fifty years lacking two, we
have scarcely more than doubled, there
being now 1l30 members in tho county.
Every church in this list has either held
it's own or gained in membership ex.
cept one, and thatis Bethany, which was
then the largest church in the county
n with the exception of the Nazareth
and Fairview, the largest in the whole
Presbytery covering seven counties. All
of these nine churches evidence the vi
tally Of a Presbyterian Church. But
the fact hat only 7 new churches have
been organized does not speak well for
their focundity.

Thine eyes one moment caught a glo.

On cheek and brow unearthly beauty

To which thy soul hath fled,
White-robed mid the shining band
Around the great white Thronet to stand,
With golden harp and angel hand
And glory crowned head,
We :onld not mourn thine early doom,
Nor dream thee with the dead,
Faith lost in sight beyond the tomb
Would all our lonely way illume,
And DER the graves victorious gloom
Eternal radiance shed.
