DEAR COURIER: We have had a
few days of nice weather since |
wrote last, and one could see the
boys pulling the bell-cord III every
direction.
The health OF this community is
good at present, and the weddings
are about over, guess, for all the
Young folks ere married and those
who are not want to be-
Well, considering the col,i weather,
The small grain is looking well, espe-
cially fall oats and wheat. Mr. NJ.
c. Lemons has got fine piece of
wheat and he always makes his farm
selt-sustaining, notwithstanding he is
renter. He says he has never
bought bushel OF corn since he has
been farming. He always makes
plenty to live on and some to sell,
and he says he never was ina law
suit in his life and was never a a.wit-
ness or juror in court. Now this is
good for man who is fifty-two years
old, ana l don't suppose you can find
another man his age who can say the
same.
Mr.. /. r. Lemons, who he's been
in Abbeville and Anderson counties,
taking photographs for some time, is
1T home now If any one wants any
work done in that lire they will do
well to see him before having it done
Mr.. E. NJ. Ables, who lives in Or
near Old Liberty, is visiting his rela-
tives and friends in this county this
week. Mr. Ables is a man of sense
aud long recollection, and it is quite
treat to talk to him, for he can tell
anything that took place twenty Or
thirty years ago as though it hap
pened bat short While back.
Mr.. L. T. McLeskey is not able to
be out, but his many friends will be
clad to know that he is still improv-
ing. We hope he will soon be well
again.
There was a singing at Mr.. \. p.
Coles residence on Sunday, Febru-
ary 10Th, and there was large crowd
of young folks present. They did
some good singing. Now if you want
to hear good music Just come to this
Cross Roads settlement. We have
a lively Sunday school at this place
and we would have better one if
more of the people in this commu-
nifty would attend.
Mr.. 7. NJ. Bruce, who is in from
Texas, is representing a patent on
tanning leather, which certainly is
good thing for farmer in several
particulars: First, because it is so
much cheaper than the old way.
You can tan about one hundred
pounds for two dollars, or about two
cents a pound. OF course, it will
take little more for the first hide,
but the more the cheaper. Second,
it don't rot the leather and it can be
tanned in from five to ten days, and
it takes about twelve months the old
way; and, OF course, time is money
in this country, especially with the
farmers. Third, by this tanning pro-
/ cess you can t:.4 your own hides at
home, instead of letting them rot on
your hands, and when you Sant a
piece of leather you have to 90 to
some OF these merchants and pay
from 35 to SO cents per poand. Now,
brother farmer, if you want to save
money it viii pay you to see Mr..
Bruce before he goes back to the
Lone Star State. The patent was
Z
obtained December ,, 1892, by one
Mr.. J. S. Right, Right county, Mis-
souri. We all know Mr.. Bruce and
can rely on what he says. We know
it is not humbug, but it is simply
economy to buy one of these rights.

To Our Young Men.
Hamilton Journal.

We are not fond OF making people
mad, but we would like very much
to make some OF the young men in
this country mad enough to go to
work. About the hardest days work
We ever did, and the most effectual
work, too, was when we were real
mad.
Our young men who are on big
loaf may think they know their bust
ness, but We beg leave to differ with
them. Ii they DO not 60 to work
and have something and be some
body while they are young and strong
and healthy, when on earth will they
ever do it?
We are not calling anybody's
names; their faces viii speak for
themselves. But, reader, if this cap
fits You, put it on and wear it. We
wish it put on record that the Jour-
uol is opposed to idleness in the
Young, it matters not what be their
condition. Youth comes to man
but once, and us God-giyen opper-
tunity to improve your condition and
lay the opportunity for success III
after life.
We are just hard-hearted enough
TO think that young man who Is
out OF a job can 90 to work and make
himself a job. Yes, young man
can always find something profitable
to do ii he has a mind to use the
brains and the muscles that wise
providence entrusted him to use to
the best advantage.
What better capital does young
man want than brains and muscles ?
If he is not overly blessed with both
of these, let him make best the advant-
age of the one he has, aud thank
God for that much. Let him remem-
Der that anything at all is just that
much more than he deserves at the
hand of God.

CHINcoTEAaUE, Va, March 27.-Captain
Alfred Lewis, of the schooner Price, which
was abandoned at sea, has arrived here
from Liverpool, He relates thrilling
story OF the trials of himself and crew
before they were rescued. The vessel was
pound Tor New Haven, Conn, and when
on Cape May was disabled and driven out
10 sea- Ihe sails were set when the storm
arose and heavy seas washed the decks,
carrying over the water casks and deck
load The men were compelled TO cling to
the masts
Then the steering gear was disabled and
the vessel was at the mercy of the waves
During lull the men succeeded in lower
Ing the foresail, and Immediately after the
vessels hold began to fill. The pumps
were broken and valueless and the captain
thought all was lost.
From Tuesday, Feb 81, to Thursday
they had no water, and the sufferings from
tnlrst and cold were intense. During the
storm they tried to catch the rain, but the
spray turned this to salt. Then they ate
icicles that formed on the rigging, but
tney were salty and increased instead of
diminished their sufferings.
on Thursday at noon they were sighted
by the White Star steamer Coficux, which
rescued them and took them to Liverpool.
Captain Lewis says that all hands would

THE RIVAL PRIESTS.
Father Traaoy's Protest Being Con
siderad hY tha Pnna

sluefed by the Pope.
SwEDEsBoRo n. j., March 27.-It wae
expected that Bishop O'Farrell would
come here yesterday and address the par
lshloners of st, Joseph's Catholic ehu rch
who have recognized the decree of excom-
munication pronounced against Father
Treacy and received Father Leahy as the
priest OF the parish, but to the dsap-
polntment of Father Leahy's adherents
the bishop did not visit Swedesboro. Both
priests held services in the houses of their
respective followers, where they have cele-
brated mass since the closing of the
church
Father Treacy WINS much gratified by a
large Increase in the attendance over the
last two Sundays in the service held by
him.
Father Treacy read letter from his
representative at Rome that his appeal
had been presented to the pope two days
before he was excummicated by Mgr. Sa-
TOLL, and that the holy father now had his
case under consideration. In the past two
weeks Father Treacy has received many
letters from different parts of the country
encouraging him to maintain his position.
Father Leahy read a letter to his CON
gregation explaining that Bishop OFarrel
would not visit Swedesboro until after
Easter. Father Leahy preached sermon
on Christ and his disciples, in which he
likened traitor to the church to Judas
lscariot, and commended the example of
the great traitor in hanging himself as
worthy of imitation.

delegates were present from various

somewhat more pronounced than those of

sentiment seemed to prevail in favor Of
taking advantage of the coming rush of

pressure of some description upon the rail
road companies to compel them to grant
them.
