THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

The fact that London changed its tactics and
bought stocks in this market yesterday was re-
sponsible for strong opening and higher prices
throughout the day. London has been per-
slstent seller in the local market for the last
two weeks. and in the opinion OF wall street
speculators the operations were for short ac-
count, rather than actual sales MADE IN the
fear Of foreign political troubles or sales 10 on

Such a showing accounts for Wall Street en-

A Valuable Book.

We desire to acknowledge there
ceipt of very handsome and valuable
book, viz. The Annual Catalogue of
High Grade Seeds issued by Messrs.
T. W. Wood & Sons, Richmond, Va.
Twenty years experience and study
of the requirements of the South has
enabled this firm to produce a man
ual of the farm and garden complete
in every detail. Among the many
interesting subjects contained in this
book will be found calendar which
enables the farmer and gardner to
have fresh vegetables on their tables
every day in the year, at very small
cost. This is indeed luxury. The
information concerning the cultiva-
ton of all crops is very useful and
practical, not only giving in full the
most improved methods of culture,
but also calling attention to those
crops which yield the largest profits.
The reputation which this firm has
won is a sufficient guarantee of the
quality of the seeds which they han
Gle. We think that every one in any
connected with farming or gardening
should have this book. It is sent
free to all who apply to the above
named firm.

How to Please a. Woman.

How to Please a Woman.
First of all pet her.
Don't stay out late at night.
Don't always be finding fault with
her.
Tell her she is pretty whether you
think so or not.
Help her about the house some
times.
Don't wait until she is dead to
praise her. She won't care then.
Don't deceive her. Be honest with
her by all means.
Spend some of your leisure mo-
ments in her presence.
Make her believe she is the most
charming woman on earth to you.
Be brave. Woman despises cow
ardice.
Talk to her and act as if you are
interested in what interests her.
If she is worried about anything
sh ow that you sympatbize with her.
There is not much danger OF tell.
ing a woman you love her too often.
She is hardly apt to tire of that.
When you leave home get her
something be it ever SO small.
If you can't get anything for her
tell her you saw something you
wanted to get.
It will show that you thought of
her.
When you come about the home
don't have frown on your face.
Give her your sweetest smiles-if
she is a true woman she deserves
more than anyone else.

He7 Simple Eritaph.

II saw a rude, roughly hewn stone

tucky hillside few weeks since,
said AIr. Walter Wade, state insur-
ance solicitor, "that was placed there
before monument makers hourished
in that part of Kentucky. There
were but two graves in the little un-
fenced spot, and they were in the
center Of a sassafras thicket.
This old stone, over which the ivy
had crept, well nigh blotting out the
inscription, bore these words, which

a Well FOUNDED Fear.
Anderson Intellig5ncer,


We fear that there's growing i'm
preston among our young men that
it is more honorable to keep books or
stand behind the counter and sell
goods than it is to plow; that there
is more honor in reading law than
there is in hammering on an anvil in
blacksmith shop; that the man who
wears blue overalls and works in a
machine shop occupies lower posi-
ton in the world than the man who
wears white shirt and patent leather
every day. This is very great blum
der and has, we fear, turned the
heads Of a great many young men.
No doubt good plow boys have been
spoiled by young men imagining that
it was more honorable to practice
law or sell goods than to turn over
soil or shove the plane. The blame
i; not always on the young man,
either; parents are often at fault in
this matter. They let it out early in
life of the children that William and
John must select easy places in the
world. They must not have tie
drudgery of farm life and must avoid
the hard work OF mechanic. It is
a profession, situation as salesman
Or bookkeeper or some calling for
which the boy is totally unified. All
work is honorable if it is honest and
hight.

and pain with that fortitude and for
bearanee born of love and the beauty
of humility, She had put her house
in order and serenely waited the ap-
preach of the last great enemy.
Death for her had been shorne ef its
sting and the grave Of its victory.
In all of her duties she was faithful

Frank Sills and Miss Lizzie Berry,
both Of Columbia.
O. ". O. Hardman, when sheriff
of Tyler Co., ". Va, was at one time,
almost prostrated with a cold. He
used Chamberlains Cough Remedy
and was so much pleased with the
quick relief and cure it afforded him,
that be gave the following unsolicited
testimonial: "To all who may be
interested, I wish to say, that I have
used Cbambe,lain's Cough Remedy
and find it invaluable for coughs and
colds." For sale by J f. kaufmann.
On Friday of week before last Mr..
J. E. Haltiwanger was driving
through the lane at Mr.. n. j. Berry's,
when bull belonging to the latter,
suddenly attacked MIR. Haltiwanger's
mare and gored her to death in few
minutes. MI. Haltiwanger made a
narrow escape himself, having to
jump the fence to get out OF the way
of the infuriated and vicious brute.
The Register plant, good will, and
appurtenances were sold under fore
closure proceedings in Columbia Fri
day. William A. Hatfield, said to be
representative of the Mortgages,
was the purchaser, paying therefor
5000. The amount of the mort
gage debt is said to have been 800.

J. G. Berry. one of the best known
citizens of Spender, Mo-, testi6es
t1at he cured himself of the worst
kind of piles by using few boxes Of
De Wits Witch Hazel Salve. He
had been troubled with piles for over
thirty years and had used many
different kinds of so-called cures; but
DeWitt's was the one that did the
work and he will verify this statement

During the past two years, Mrs.,J

the Waynesboro, (Miss.) Times, has,
in great many instances, relieved
her baby when in the first stages of
Group, by giving it Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy. She looks upon
this remedy as household necessity
and believes that no better medicine
has ever been put in bottles. There
are many thousands of mothers in
this broad land, who are of the same
opinion. It is the only remedy that
can always be depended upon as a
preventive and cure for Group. The
25 and so cent bottles are for sale by
