of last year when he got in his deadly
work among our vegetables.
The authorities of the p. r. 81 w. @.
Railway are asked to rebuild the Depot
at landlords, which was destroyed q
few years ago. The business and con-
venience Of that point urgently de-
mand better facilities.
Mrs. S. X. Taylor, of our city has
spent the winter making a protracted
visit to her brother DIR. G. M. Bates,
and her daughter Mrs. Blanche Finley
in Florida. She Is expected home in

w. A. Jameson has a first class dress
maker from the North in his mammoth

rens and vicinity will be able to get

Laurens as II they were in New York
or CINCINNATI.
JEFF Evans, colored, was shot by Will
liam Smith, colored, on Friday last

some alteration, but they made friends
before Evans death. Smith has not
been arrested.
lin "ltOlhS UhS dUoNC, SLllUh HAS

and is in jail and claims that he killed
Evans in self-defence.
Mr.. r. l.. Cleveland, a farmer and
estimable citizen died suddenly at his
home in Scuffletown township on Sat
urday last. He leaves q wife and chill
dren who will have the sympathy of a
large circle Of friends. His mother
was Miss. Saxon, a member of q prom
inent family of this county, and he
married Miss Byrd, and was connected
with the Kern's, prominent families in
what is now Scuffietown township.
DR.. j. p. Simpson, who at this writ
ing is at The City of Brotherly Love
doesn't forget us in this benighted and
poverty stricken section. He sends us
Sunday editions of the great New York
and Philadelphia Dailies of mammoth
proportions. He is always thoughtful
and unfailing in not forgetting his
friends. We have looked at the pic
lures, and have reading matter to
carry us though the closing scenes Of
this fast ebbing century.
We are sorry to see that out of Sixty
eight companies of Militia organized
in the State under the new Act, not
one comes from Laurens. We appre-
ciate the difficulty in a purely farming
community to maintain an efficient or
~ganization. Laurens, however and the
surrounding country, could support an
organization. SO OF Clinton: likewise,
Mountvi!le, Gross Hill and Waterloo
might unite and have q crack corps.
Maddens, Gray Court and Lanford are
smart and growing towns and they
should move. Last, but not least in
spirit are Babbtown and Princeton and
we look to them to encourage O martial
spirit in the county.
The readers of this column will guess
that there Is O fancy farmer on THE
ADVERTISERS staff. Pigs and poultry
are also his weaknesses. Have q patch
OF potatoes-an early and q late variety.
Don't forget sugar cane; the cane for
the pigs, the seed for the poultry.
Spanish pindars are q sine-qua-non:
COWS, pigs. poultry and children all
hustle for them. A gallon or SO should
be parched every Saturday in the win
ter months for the tots and imps about
the promises; besides children OF q
larger growth cal help MUNICH and en-
JOY them when they are around. The
sunflower should grow in every odd
u~noccupied corner. It's seed Is the best
known food for poultry. Remember
the four ps: potatoes, pindars, poultry
and pigs.
