From Antioch.

Mr.. EDITOR: The farmers of
this section have about finished
gathering their cotton and othel
crops,and are now devo'ing their
time to sowing oats. Very few
oats will be sown, however, last
winter and the one before having
discouraged them. / am glad to
say that by close economy this
year the farmers are in better
shape to begin new crop than
they have been for a number of
years. A majority have plenty of
corn and neat. One more good
crop and a fair price for our pro-
duce and we will recover from tho
loss of last year.
Some three weeks ago Antioch
church church extended unani-
nous call tc the Rev. Henry s..
Hartzog, Principal Of the Johnston
Institute. We can't say with any
degree of certainty that he will ac-
cept, but from information re-
ceived, we believe he will do 80.
Prof. Hartzog will preach at An
tloch on Sunday next at II o'clock.
Let every body who can come out
to hear him.
We regret that Rev. John Lake
cannot serve Antich next year, but
having located at Batesburg, the
distance is too great 10 serve again
and do the church Justice. Mr..
Lake has made many friends in
this section who are reluctant to
give him up. Old Antioch has been
greatly revived during his pasto-
rate.
Miss Lizzie Eubanks is teach
ing for Mr.. ]. G. Hammond.
Mrs. Frank Sharpton has flour
ishing school near Antioch.
Miss Ellie Minis, the graceful
and fascinating daughter of Mr..
M. A. Minis, has returned after a
pleasant visit to relatives near
Ropers.
Mrs. T. 3. Lanham spent last
Tuesday with relatives in this
community.
Mrs. C. T. Talbert who has been
quite sick is now convalescent.
Mrs. Annie Holson has removed
to her farm near here; Mrs. Hol-
son will travel in the interest of
some publishing house ard We
hope she will meet with the kind
consideration of thu public.

How to Cure Meat.

i'he Piedmont Headlight says: DR..
Jrby, OF Laureas, cures the finest hams
we ever tastrd, and they have n state
wide reputation. They are cured after
the old ante-bellan Virginia fashior.
The Doctor says to sayemeat you MIL t
use coarse Liverpool salt, for the
American salt won't answer if the
weather turns warm. DR.. 1rby trims
his hams and joints close, when they
are thoroughly salted. About March
he covers each ham with thin coat
ing of molasscs, and then sprinkles
black pepper over them. When smok-
ed, the molasses and pepper seem to
enter the meat, and impart delicious
flavor. Besides, they exclude all in
scots. Do not cover the skin, but only
the portions of the ham that have been
cut. If you try this recipe, you will
find the sweetest and incest hams you
ever tasted. DIR. Irby saysif you will
follow his directions. and use coarse
liverpool salt, you will never lose your
meat, unless the weather turns off
warm and rainy after killing.

Il
This Institution is a family-school
for orphan children, who are left in
poverty by the death of their parents.
1t is located in Clinton, South Caroli-
ma, in the upper or piedmont section
of the state. The healthfulness OF the
same is shown by the fact that in twen-
ty years, there have been only three
deaths among the orphans. The chill.
dren are received from any section of
the Union and from any denomina-
tion. There were 130 orphans under
its Ca e last year from twelve differ
ent states and ten denominations. 1t
is however, under Presbyterian con-
troll. Orphans ale not legally surren-
acred to the Institution, but are ad-
mitted to be educated, and sent out
prepared to take care Of themselves.
They are, therefore, taught to use both
head and hand, the industrial course
being full and thorough and the
school l-work, being equally satisfacto-
ry. The support of this ] astitution is
wholly voluntary. 1t is almost with
out endowment, depending upon the
good will of the people for its main
tainance. Gifts Of provisions, cloth
ing and money, in response to notices
like this constitute its source of in
come. During the past year, the fani-
lily was maintained and all salaries
paid. And that has been Its wonder
full experience for twenty years
Thanksgiving AND Christmas days are
here. Surely this is a good time tc
remember the orphans. Gifts shculd
be sent to Rev. VIM, P. Jacobs, Thorn
well Orphanage, Clinton, sc.
