OTHER KIND WORDS.
The Remarks of Two Distinguished
Editors on the Press and Banner.

Anderson Intelligencer.
On the 1st instant Editor Hugh Wilson, OF
the Abbeville Press and Banner, celebrated
that paper by publishing n lengthy but very
interesting sketch OF his life as devil, printer,
publisher and editor. AS is well known, MIR.
Wilson gets up one of the best papers In the
State, and his experience shows what pluck
and energy, properly applied, will accom-.
plish. We congratulate Mr.. wills IN. and nope
his remaining years will cont.Iue to be years
of peace, happiness and prosperity.
Newberry Herald and News.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Hugh Wilson, editor
and proprietor OF the Abbeville Press ana
Banner, celebrated the 37th anniversary OF
his connection with the paper. The sketcn
which he gives of the per since ms cohnec'
ton with it and Of his career is ooih interest,
ing and Instructive. He has published good
paper and has prospered, and has now, we
suppose, one OF the best paying newspaper
plants in the State.

When stable manure is composted

When stable manure is composted, a
covering of soil over the heap will save
it from loss of ammonia. A very thin
covering only is required. Clay or
mold is best. Either has large capaci-
ty for absorbing ammonia. Most far
mers cover the heaps too thickly. AS
this earth in turning the heaps will be
mixed with the manure, it makes the
manure bulky in proportion to its
plant food. There is no object in car
rying a large amount of earth to the
fields, as it will cost more to handle
it than it will be worth as fertilizer.

1t is at this time of the year when the

and least able to perform the daily
routine of duties which fall to her share.
She has no ambition and her work drags
upon her at every step. 1t seems never
to be completed and she never feels able
to go on with it. AS a rule she keeps
bravely at it, often accomplishing and
patient until she breaks completely down
and can go no further. 1t is to these
tired, listless, unhappy women that DIR.
Hartman offers advice and encourage
ment free. If all such women will write
to DR.. Hartman, giving full account of
their troubles, he will answer promptly
free of charge and tell them what to take
and what to do to make new women of
themselves. His advice costs nothing
and the medicines are not expensive.
Every woman who follows his advice is
greatly benefited and the great majority
are completely restored to their youth
ful health and strength.
Every woman may have copy of DR..
Hartman's book on female diseases. 1t
is an invaluable book for the class of
women to whom it is written. This book
will be sent free to any woman by The
