very painfully burned on both hands,
and OF present is suffering greatly. Her
burns are not very serious, however.
cold, yet ever new, and simple and
beautiful ever" sings the poet, in words
which might we'll apply to Ayers Sarsa-
parilla-the most efficient and scientific
blood-purifier ever offered to suffering
humanity. Nothing but superior merit
keeps it 80 long at the front.
- A recent traveller in the West says:
GAIL you hear about destitution and dis
tress existing in Western Kansas and
Nebraska is absolutely true. The picture
of the terrible suffering the residents OF
those sections are undergoing cannot be
too highly colored. 1t is simply awful
They passed through summer OF
drought and fall of failing crops and
have now the horror of winter upon them.
Any one who has ever passed winter
on those cheerless plains, where the mer,
curry is nearly always below zero and
fuel an unknown luxury, can appreciate
what this statement means. The poor
farmers and their families are lowering
between starvation and being frozen to
death, and the State relief committee is
unable to help more than small propor-
ton of the sufferers. It was only few
days before Christmas that heard the
pitiable story of a woman and her two
little children being found dead in a
lonely cabin in Chase county, Nebraska,
with every evidence surrounding them
to show that they had first been starved

The Cincinnati Enquirer tells this
story to prove that the instinct OF self
preservation is stronger than reason: "A
man on Lake Auron steamer had the
Only specimen of black rattlesnake /
have ever met with. It was about the
size of an ordinary garter snake and as
vicious as Satan. 1t was confined in a
strong box covered with thick plate glass.
When any one would touch the glass
with his fpger the snake would strike
the under side opposite the finger as
quickly as stroke oflightning. The e1-
perimenter would always jerk away as
suddenly. There was not man on
board, however muscular and free from
nervousness, who could keep his finger
to the glass when the snake would strike,
although knowing that it could not os-
sibly touch him. Strong men would try
1t again ard again, certain Of their ability
to endure the test, but with, the same re-
suit"
Bob York, of the Ebenezer settle
ment, Kentucky, went out to chop wood
on steep hillside, and as his wife was
gone froEa home he carried his two small
children with him. The log he was cut
ting Off would have weighed LOCO pounds
or more when nearly off one of the lit
tie ones playfully ran in front of the log,
when all at once it broke loose and start
ed. Mr.. York, seeing the danger his
child was in, jumped in front Of the log
and tried to hold It, but was crushed to
the ground and he himself almost crush
ed to death. One end of the log struck
the child on the head and mashed its
brains out, killing it instantly. The IA
ther lies in critical condition. and the
mother is almost prostrated with grief.

Register has been raised to two dollars.
The experiment of publishing dollar
paper in this State, we believe, was first
tried at Anderson early in the ffties.
Since then the experiment has been re-
peated many times, but up to this date
we have heard Of no man who has made
success Of it. By success we mean the
receiving of fair return for the labor
and material involved in such publica-
ton. The fact is, that good country
newspaper costs money, and he who un-
dertakes to sell such papers for dollar
year ought to haYe surplus in bank, or
be willing to give his energy, time and
talent to the public for very small re-
turn.-AJ6eville Press and Banner.
People, says dentist, wonder why
gold is used for stopping, and are apt to
credit the dentist with employing 1t for
bis own ends, on the ground that he can
charge more and get correspondingly
larger profits than would be the case II he
used any baser and less expensive metal;
but, he says, in explanation, a little re-
Election would convince the suspicious
ones that there is no ground whatever for
such ideas, and that the real reason for
using gold is that it will weld while cold,
and will successfully resist action OF the
acids and fluids of the mouth, hence 1t Is
unequaled as q preservative for the teeth.
Migration from the colder regions 10
the sunny south continues. twenty-five
families from the northwest have recently
settled in and around Handsboro, Miss.
This is the advance guard, as 1t were,
twenty-five other families being sched-
uled to arrive at the same place on March
l, 1895, and fifty more families few
months later. They will engage in agri-
cultural and manufacturing pursuits.
Senator Butler ofSouth Carolina who
retires to make way for Tillman, is the
handsomest and one of the most polished
men in Congress. 1t has been said OF
him that he would fan lady or fight a
duel with equal grace, and it is certain
that he is the very flower of Southern
chivalry-daring, vain, proud and pune
tilious. Altogether he is one of the last
of the caYaliers.-Ne0 York Advertiser.
The creature most tenacious of life
is the common sea polyp. One may lie
cut in two and two creatures are the re-
suit. One may be slit lengthwise into
halfa dozen sections, making ss many
animals. They may be turned inside
out and enjoy themselves just as we'll as
before if two be divided and placed end
to end the result will be monster hav-
ing head at each end.
The best anodyne and expectorant
for the cure of colds, coughs, and all
throat lung, and bronchial troubles, is
undoubtedly, Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
the only specific for colds and coughs ad-
mitted on exhibition at the Chicago
Worlds Fair.
- Black walnut Is scarce wood at the
North these days, but only farms about
Philadelphia, still afford to the cabinet
maker noble specimens of the tree. 1t is
said that black walnut 100 years old will
fetch in that region about $l00.
- Noah Wilkins, while digging pota-
toes at the old Peyton Harvey place, near
Rlngwood, Halifax county, N. c.. found
lump ofgold which be sold for Sl4O. 1t
was found on the land where the old
Harvey house once stood.
