NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never time in the his
tory of our country when the demand
for inventions and improvements in
the arts and sciences generally was so
great as now. The conveniences OF
mankind in the factory and work
shop, the household, on the farm, and
in official life, require continual ac-
cesslons to the appurtenances and
implements of each in order to save
labor, time, and expense. The political
change in the administration of the
government does not affect the progress
of the American inventor, wi o being
on the alert and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit
the affairs of government to deter him
from quickly conceiving the remedy to
overcome existing discrepancies. Too
great care cannot be exercised in choos
nga competent and skillfully attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an ap-
plication for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in in
Vulnerable instances by the employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
pay" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class of attorneys
do 50 at imminent risk, as the breadth
and strength of the patent is never
considered in view of quick endeavor
to get an allowance and obtain the
fee then due. The PRESS CLAIMS
COMPANY, John Wedderburn, General
Manager. GlS + street, n. W., Wash
ington, ID. c.. representing large
number of important daily and weekly
papers, as well as general periodicals
of the country, was instituted to pro-
tect its patrons from the unsafe
methods heretofore employed in. this
line of business. The said Company
is prepared to take charge ofall patent
business entrusted to it for reasonable
fees, and prepares and prosecutes APP
plications generally, including
mechanical inventions, design patents
trademarks, labels, copyrights. inter-
ferences, infringements, validity re-
ports. and gives especial attention to
rejected cases. 1t is also prepared to
enter into competition with any firm
in securing foreign patents.

GEN, J. A. EARLY DEAD.
The Deathbed Scene One of
Serene Calmness.

LYNcHBURG, Va, March q
United States Senator JOIN W.
Daniel walked into The News Office
at II o'clock tonight, and, in a
sad voice, announced that his old
commander, General Jubal A.
Early, at whose bedside he has
been a constant watcher for some
days, had gone to his eternal re-
ward:
General Early died at 1890.
He passed away quietly, in. the
presence of his family and
physician, his kindred and several
intimate friends The old gentle
man seemed aware of his ap-
preaching end early in the day.
Before noon he called for the
morning psper, as was his in
variable custom, and attempted to
read, but found that his eye
sight was failing. Soon after he
extended his hand to Senator
Daniel and calmly said, ~ want
to tell you goodbye, Major" He
then told his nephew, Cabell Early
farewell, after which he dropped
into quiet slumber. Later in the
day the dying veteran asked
Senator Daniel not to leave the
rom, as he wanted to talk With
him about certain arrangements;
but from that time he suffered such
intense pain that he did not revive
the subject. He met death un-
Ainchingly, with his hand resting
in Senator Daniels.
No arrangements have been
made for the fuuerel, and none
will be made before tomorrow.
Telegrams have been sent by Sena-
tor Daniel to many Of General
Early's ex-Confederate comrades
tonight, many of whom no doubt
will come here to attend the burial.
1t is thought that General Early
has left good estate, though he
was a nan Of astonishing generosity
especially to his numerous re-
latives and needy comrades.

A Sleigh Ride in Choty and
Burgler Hunters From
Mccormick.

The winters snow has come and
gone and again the balmy sun
shine gives to nature the spring
like appearance that is now so
badly needed.
Many were the means resorted
to to make life pleasant while
clothed with the white mantle
from heaven, and none wa. more
unique than an improvised sleigh
gotten up by Messrs. Bussey, Nor
gan, and Mathews. A sprightly
span of mules and forgetfulness Of
the hard times complete the out
fit. They startan glide smoothly
over he white surface, but at the
first house Mr.. A. gathers the chill
dren and runs for the woods, not
knowing but some stray "varmint"
had escaped from the recent cir
Gus, but on they glide, until Mr..
Ms house is reached, who at once
gathered his shot gun, but not
knowing whether to short or rnn
he too makes tracts for a big gully,
leaving his children safely barred
in the house. The merry laughter
of the sleigh-riders, however, soon
reassured Messrs. A: and M. that
that it waa not very danferous
"varmint" at all. On they went un-
til many citizens had seen and ad-
mired the novelty of sleigh-ride
in Choty.
On Saturday last, eight or ten of
McCormick's sturdy citizens. head
ed by Capt. Jack Holloway and
John Bradley were tramping it
through Choty closely pursuing
three burgler negroes, who on
Thursday night previous had bro
ken into the store of Capt. Arte-
mus Henderson and a Jews store
of McC, r;nicls, Abbeville County,
and carried off several hundred
dollars worth of merchandise. One
of them was run down by Hon.
w. r. Parks lood-hounds and
captured near Modoc. He had on,
at the time a suit of Mr.. Hender-
sons clothes. A handsome reward
of SITS awaits the capture of the
thief.
Grain crops are thought by ex-
perienced heads to be now on the
safe side of the winters freeze and
the yieid promises to be al abun-
dant one. Preparations for anoth-
er crop are still tagging, very little
has as yet been done to make ready
for over-production next fall. Laz-
mess in the spring and over pro-
duction in the fall has been the
cry for many years past and 1t
mny be true.

the bark and he body of the tree
and fill it with sulphur. Drive a
peg in the hole to prevent the sui
phur from coming out. When the
sap begins to rise it will become
impregnated with sulphur, which
is death to the mistletoe. Some
of the town authorities in the
State use it with great success.
