IONA, S. c., Feb. /, 1895.
Nr. Editor It has rained and rained, and
and then it would rain again, until it has
stopped farm work. Well, we can't blame
Tillman or the Dispensary for it raining too
much. Of course we are not complaining
about what cannot be helped, for We are
taught that all things work together for
good, to those that love and obey the COM
mandments, | believe is about the way 1t
reads. But fear that there are so few of
us that obey the commands, that we cannot
claim the promise; but aside from that, |
know that most farmers are in bad tx. We
are obliged to go in debt a little if we cau,
and we are afraid that we will Dot be able to
paw that little at the present outlook. But
the farming interest Of the County cannot
stop. Ifit does, we vii! have panic sure
enough. So l think ali other professions
ought 10 do all in their rower to help the far
mer. The merchant, believe is willing to
do, but he like the farmer, is in straightened
circumstances, or at least some are, and are
afraid TO venture But if we do not help
one another, matters will get worse and
worse. God never intended one man to be
entirely independen: Of all others. One man
may own millions of money, but be is depen-
dent on some one else 10 use it for him, that
he may accumulate more. So we see that
while the poor are dependent on the rich, the
rich are dependent on the poor. SO If all
would work together n harmony, | believe
there would be hope for us yet. Some people
are predicting that soon the moneyed men
will own all the land, and then we will all
be tenants, looking upon it with great hor-
ror. While would hate to see that the case,
can't see but that some would be just as
we'll of, for they would have to feed and cloth
US, and if taey gave US plenty it would be
more than some are getting BOW.
But have let imagination runaway
with me. So will stop and tell you that the
farmers are rot buying any guano yet, and
don't believe they will buy much. And |
believe it will be best for us to leave it of,
for hink it more OF habit than anything
else nv experience has been that two years
out of i've it does not pay. And taking every
thing in consideration, the extra labor In
hauling and putting it out, believe if all
that time and labor was taken up in hauling
and making manure at home, we would be
better off in the end. For it is poor policy to
give certainty for uncertainty. II seems that
the guano companies are afraid TO make the
farmers an offer, for fear that the farmer
might give more than they are willing to
take, but thipk they need not be uneasy,
for the farmers are not at all anxious. Some
of our Oranges have tried 10 get prices, but
the companies say they have not decided on
prices as yet. URY JIM

Reprehensible conduct on the part
Of supposed corpse was the cause of
serious accident to two women il the
town of Haywood, England, Friday
They we're watching by the body of a
friend who had died on the previous
day. The dead woman had been laid
out, measured for her coffin, and was
ready for burial. Suddenly the corpse
blew away the cloth covering her face
aud sat up. The two watchers f1ed
with wild shrieks They we're 10 such
hurry to get away that both fell down
stairs and lay helpless from their TO-
juries at the bottom, but we're still
able to give voice to their terror in
frigh.ful screams Many persons came
to their aid, but it was a long time be-
fore any body dared 60 up stairs
Finally several ventured together, and
the doctor was summoned. The sup.
posed dead woman, says the London
correspondent of the New York Sen
described her agones of mind over the
preparation for her burial. of which
she had been fully cognizent The
shock was too much for her, and few
hours later she died in earnest The
other two women are in the hospital

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only
one way to cure ceafnesa, and that is by con.
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
au infamed condition of the mucous lining
Euchiachan Tube. When this tube is in.
famed you have rumol:ng sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, aod unless the infma.
nation cat be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be des
troyed forever; nine out of ten are caused by
catarrb, which is nothing but an infaued
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give Oue Hundred Dollare for any
case Of Deafness (caused by catsrrh) that can
not be cured by HALLS Catarrh Cure. Send
