Dots from Dennys.

Mr.. EDITOR: AS the ADVERTISER
has no correspondent from Dennys
I thought l would send you a few
lines for publication.
The farmers are preparing their
lands for another big crop of cot
ton.
Our energetic young farmer, Bob
Crouch. planted some corn about
two weeks ago, which is now COM
ing up.
Our handsome slittle" DR.. J. D.
W., who spoke of moving away a
few weeks ago, we are glad to say,
has declined for a while.
Our genial youhg friend, Mr..
Sidney Riley, is at Mt. Willing in
the Alliance store; we do not see
him so often now; don't forget
your friends around Dennys, Sid
ney.
The second Quarterly Confer
ence for the Saluda Circuit will
convene at Bethany the third
Saturday and Sunday proximo.
The writer had the pleasure of
visiting Johnston few days ago
and meeting a great many friends
and old acquaintances; the young
people there have a skating rink,
and I had the opportunity of see
ing many of the Johnstonites at
the rink.
Mrs. Joe Jay who was very ill a
few days ago, is convalescing un-
der the skilful treatment of DR..
Kirksey.
1t seems that the young ladies
"around Dennys" are devoting a
great deal of attention to poultry
raising, especially turkeys; but
Pm afraid the hawks and minks
will be the most successful.

The judge took a good long
look at both of them and dismissed
the case.

A dog can make Il cat dead if he
bites her enough. When he comes
in the yard he can make her tail
look like Christmas tree. He can
make her fix her back like camel.

thieves are afraid OF dogs. If a thief

he'll run like fun; but the dog

let the man that owns 1T come IN
the back yard in the middle of the

A Hairbreadth Escape.

A bad accident which was one
of the narrowest escapes from
instant death possible, happened
at Vandemore, Plamice county,
N. c., on Saturday. AS Mr..
Morrissey's SOD, Coolidge, about
Is years of age, was cutting wood,
his little brother ran under the
axe as it was descending and re-
ceived the blow on the top of his
head. The axe glanced and cut
out a piece of the skull bone one
and one-half inches square SO that
pulsation of the brain could be
discerned. DR.. G.. S. Attmore, of
Stonewell, attended to the wound.
The piece of bone was left out
but the cut portion of the scalp
was placed in position again and
three days after the accident DR..
Attmore pronounced his little
patient in a fair way to per fec
recovery, his youthfulness being
in favor of such a result.

Post gives some truthful pictures
of the average Office seeker in that
city.
"There he goes," said the clerk
at 4he Natioual as one of the green
cars trundled by. "See that man
near the grip? Dispute his COM
mon clothes he has rather a distin-
guished air, hasn't he? Well, he is
gripman, too, and is probably
taking a day off, or else is going
to some other part of the line to
meet his car. I have known him
four years, and always liked him.
He is an example of what happens
to men who come to Washington
seeking Office. I first met him in
the early part of March, 1889.
President Harrison had been sworn
in, and the city was filled with
those who wanted pap. This man
was from the West. He stopped
with us. His coat was of the
Prince Albert cut and made of the
finest diagonal. His trousers were
light in color, and he wore tan
gloves. The suit could not have
cost less than $125. He had money
and spent it like water.
He wanted one of the larger con-
sulates, and had a valise full of
letters. He didn't get it, of course,
and gradually became shabbier
and shabbier. I saw him late in
the summer, wearing a battered
straw hat, and his lines had evil
dently been cast in hard places.
Then 1 saw him swinging to the
car grip. He must be faithful to
his work, because he has held the
Job ever since. He is a great deal
better than many of those who
come upon like errand, as we'll
as more fortunate. Generally when
they go broke they put in a month
or two holding up such friends as
come to town, and when these play
out they drift into even more rep
rehensible ways of making a liv-
ing. They are generally ashamed
to 60 home, you sec. Not one of
them ever leaves his town without
assuring all of his acquaintances
that be has a dead sure thing, and
they are afraid of endless jeering
if they return.
at is a dreadful thing" said a
Georgian yesterday, as he aimed
at a cuspidor in the hotel corridor
and missed it foot, "to think
how little it takes to dash a fel-
lows hopes 10 earth when the frui-
tion of his desires depends upon
the temper of one man who holds
a position like that which Presi-
dent Cleveland fills 80 completely.
Here am, and I want an office.
1t is not a big thing, not more
than $4,000 year, yet the COM
forts Of my family and ability to
clear myself of debt depend upon
my success. 1t is very important
to me. I have spent money to
come here and spend money to
stay here. When the Executive
reaches my papers he may not feel
well. There may be a clot of un-
digested mustard upon mis- stomach
or he may have a aslight cold in
the head. Up 1 gol If l had this
thing to undergo again l would
rather plow seven days in the
week and feed the mules myself" "
