Messrs. w. S. Covar & Son have
opened at the Cumberland Gap de-
pot a general repair shop. They
also keep cofins in stock. Their
stand is in the old I'D. Minis shop.
To cure ear ache put live coal
from the fire in cup and pour a
teaspoonful of granulated sugar
over it. Be careful not to let 1T
blaze and at once insert a small
funnel over it, 'hold::n. the tip of
the funnel il t..e ear. The smoke
gives instant relief.

to have been general all over the
county SO far as heard from. "Be-

Cotton Bloom.
The first cotton bloom has not
yet reached this office. We had
just written the above lines when
Mr.. w. G.. Wells, of Horns Creek,
walked into our office and handed
us red cotton bloom: Mr. Wells has
six acres that he planted on the End
day of April and this bloom was
picked from that patch. 1T is of
the Peterkin Cluster varlety-the
best all round cotton grown in the
Atlantic States.
Blind Tigers in Abbeville.
Il The grand jury Of AbbeviIaeIas
presented three blind tigers in that
town and given the town council of
Abbeville as witnesses, the very
body whose duty it is to close up
blind tigers. But it seems to us
that if the grand jury had the
names Of the blind tigers a1d the
witnesses they ought to have in
dicted them instead of presenting
them. This modern way of
shuffling duties off on others is not
commendable.
A Pleasing Incident.
When waiting for the train at
Windsor an incident occurred
worthy of note and public recogni-
cation. Several parties were en-
gagged in conversation in front of
Capt. Dan Jackeon's store when
stranger approached the crowd
remarklng that he had found some
money and inquired If al,y one
present had lost any. At this in
formation all hastily put their
hands in their pockets, but no one
seemed short of any funds.
A lady of Kitching Mills section
who was en- route to Augusta,
found that she had lost her purse.
On giving correct information as
to the amount lost the gentleman
promptly und gladly gave the
money to her. On inqnring who
the honest stranger was he proved
to be Mr.. ]. B. Hill, clerk of the
court of Edge6eld County. MIR. Joe
Brunson, Of Aiken and Mr.. Hill
had just returned from q fishing
tour It is a treat in these days
of moral uncertainty to meet with
genuine honest men, especially so
when holding positions OF public
trust.-Journal and Review.
