An editor who has been pounding away
at his delinquent subscribers for some time
6nally brought them to sense Of their
duty with the following poetical parody:
"Lives of great men oft remind us, honest
toll don't stand chance; more We work
we leave behind US, bigger patches on our
pants. On our pants once new and glossy,
now are patches of different hue; all be-
cause subscribers linger, and won't pay
up what is due. Then let all be up and

We clip the following marriage notice
from the Sewer County, (Ark.) Democrat.
and, as the parties have many friends and
relatives in our County, we know 1t will
be read with interest: Thursday night,
December 20, 1894, at the residence Of the

mings, ornamented with white lilies, and
wore Roman gold Jewels. The groom was
attired in the usual wedding suit, black.
We join their many friends in wishing

The Easley Democrat, of the 4th inst,
says: "It is with profound sorrow for the
afflicted family, consisting of wife and
three little children, that we are called upon
to chronicle the death Of Mr.. Charles W.
Garrison, son of Mr.. Woods Garrison.
The sad event occurred on the 21st Of De.
cember, 1894, at his home near the Railroad
Bridge on the Saluda River, caused from
congestion of the brain. Mr.. Garrison
was about SO years old, in the prime of
manhood, we'll beloved by all who knew
him, and was at the time Of his death doing
quite thriving business merchandising,
he being the proprietor Of a country store
near his residence. His remains were in
tered on the day following his death at
Antioch Church, Rev. j. F. Anderson
conducting the services" Itwas our priv
ilege to know the deceased, who was most
worthy, upright young man. He was
we'll known on the eastern side of this
County, where he married, his wife being
Miss Varina Cox, sister Of Mr.. Joe NJ.
Cox, Of Toney Greek. Her many friends
will read this announcement Of her hus-
bands death with deep sorrow, and, we
know, will join us in rendering her our
sympathy in her bereavement.
One Of our cleye. friends from the coun-
try remarked In our presence one day last
week that he was done with the "ohemi-
ca!ly pure" He said that he had been
used to taking dram occasionally all his
life, aud that on Christmas Eve neighbor,
who had been to the city, stopped at his
gate on his way home, and, after brief
conversation. produced quart of one x
and invited him to take drink. He com.
piled twice With the request, his neighbor
drove off home, and he entered the house
and took seat in his wife's comfortable
rocking chair by the fire. he began rock.
ing and smiling at the baby in the cradle,
and In few minutes. he said, his eyes
seemed to be Watching every corner OF the
roon., About this time his wife entered
the room; accompanied by his pet dog.
He gave the dog double kick. knocked
over the churn and turned the cradle over
the baby. at this juncture be caught hts
wife's penetrating eyes, as she yelled,
"John, what is the matter with your" He
then attempted to make the necessary
apologies, and the last thing be remember
ed was when he was falling to the floor
and uttaring something about the "dis-
dis-pensary." His wife, with the assis-
tsnce of the cook, put him to bed, and
when he awoke next morning the first
thing he felt was big plaster on the side
of his face, which had struck the end of
stick of wood on the hearth. His wife
then related to him his antics, and his ut.
terances after she had put him to bed.
He said he felt like kicking himself, but
he couldn't raise one OF his legs without
great pain, and when he sat down to break
fast and found that instead Of getting any
thing to go down, everything wanted to
come up, he went outside and let it come.
He then sneaked off and could not face
his wife for day or two. When he got
straight again he made an honest confess
sion to his wife, who forgave him on the
condition that he would never taste the
vile stuff again. He promised, and says
he is going to stick to it. This scores one
good point for the dispensary.
