The FLAVOR OF COFFEE. Real cof-
fee is a very delicate substance and
will readily not only lose its OWE fla
vor, but also take up the flavor of 9TH
er substances. Thus it is quite neces-
sary in shipping coffee to make sure
that no other odorous substance is
placed near to destroy the flavor OF
the coffee. The aroma is volatile. Let
a quantity Of pure ground coffee be
exposed to the air for considerable
time and the best of the coffee will 60
out into the atmosphere. The careful
housewife who wishes to make good,
pure coffee of fragrant aroma, buys it
in the green bean, roasts it herself,
keep it tightly canned after roasting,
and grinds it the morning it is used.
Coffee so made is a totally different
article of consumption from the great
bulk of ground coffee that is sold in
the stores.
Sometime ago an official analysis OF
some ground coffee exposed for sale
disclosed the fact there was absolutely
no coffee in it.-New York Sun.

In Conclusion, Let Me
Say That I Would Not
Pretend TO Farm Without It.

CEVEN YEARS ago, Mr.. w. Holmes
~ Hardin, of Chester county, enjoyed
the distinction Of being one OF the most
practical and successful farmers in the
Piedmont section, and according to the
best information at hand he still ranks
among the first. The appended endorse
ment of the Corbin Disk Harrow was
written by him in March, 1890, and what
he said then we are sure he will endorse
CHESTER, s. c., March 81, 1890.
SAM NJ. GRIST, Yorkville, S. c.: Dear
Sir: have owned Corbin Disk Harrow
for several years, and consider it the most
useful and economical farming imple-
ment of which I have any knowledge.
Mr.. Corbin has done more for the farmer
than all the politicians, reformers, etc.,
combined. He has done something prac-
tical. No farmer can fail to be benefited
by the use Of the Harrow, and the more it
is used the greater the benefit or profit.
1t is almost the only so-called improved
farming implement that have ever seen
that would do all its manufacturers claim
ed for it, and the only one that would do
more. Every farmer should have one,
and a man who is able to buy fertilizers
for his land is more able to buy Corbin
Disk Harrow. The time will come when
the Corbin Disk Harrow will be consider
ed as much of a necessity on the farm as
the wagon, sewing machine, cooking
stove, and I might say, the plow and the
sooner it comes the better for the farmer.
1t only takes farmer, who has been ac-
customed to the old way of doing things.
about one hour to realize how much time
and labor he has literally wasted before
he used the Corbin Harrow. In conclu-
sion, let me say that I would not pretend
to farm without it. Respectfully,
w. HOLMES HARDIN.
We sell the GENUINE CORBIN DISK
HARROW. 1t has never had success
ful rival. If you want so-called Spad-
ing or Cutaway, we can furnish you one
made by the manufactures Of the Corbin.
The Corbin has solid disks and they are
the best; but as stated we can furnish the
other if you prefer to take the opinion of
someone who has had less experience than
we, and will furnish the best harrow of
that pattern on the market. It's mechan-
ism is identically the same as the Corbin,
the only difference being in the disks.

SALT For THE THRoAT.-1n these
DAYS when diseases of the throat are
so universally prevalent, and in so
many cases fatal, we feel it our duty
to say a word in behalf of a most
effectual, if not positive, cure for sore
throat. For many years past, indeed
we may say for the whole of life OF
more than 40 years, We have been sub
ject to a dry, hacking cough, which is
not only distressing to ourselves but to
our friends and those with whom we
are brought into business contact.
Last fall we were induced to try what
virtue there was in common salt. We
commenced using it three times day,
morning, noon and night. We dis
solved a large tablespoonful of pure
table salt in half tumblerful of wa
ter. With this we gargled the throat
most thoroughly just before meal time.
The result has been that during the
entire winter we were not only free
from coughs and colds, but the dry
hacking cough had entirely disappear
ed. We attribute these satisfactory
results solely to the use of salt gargle,
and most cordially recommend a trial
of it to those who are subject to dis
ease of the throat. Many persons who
have never tried the salt gargle have
the impression that it is unpleasant,
but after a few days use no one who
loves nice, clean mouth and first rate
sharpener of the appetite will abandon

ALL ABOUT A SHoE-PEG.-lt is

to the rest of the brigade.
"Look cut he's going to shoot! y
yelled big man with red whiskers
and the crowd blew away like dust.
when the old man slid his haud into
his hand into his pocket as if for
shooting iron.
Then he Strengthened himself and
started off on his own individual busi-
ness, muttering something about
"What the mischief it was to them il
he wanted to sit down and take a peg
out of his shoe"

SWALLOWED A HoLE.-The other
day Jimmie, 4 years old, found one Of
those bone.rimmed circles which,
believe, ladies call eyelets, and, while
playing in the garden, swallowed it
The family were in the house busily
engaged with a work on entomology
when Jimmie ran in, with mouth wide
open, and eyes distended to their ut
most capacity. His mother caught
him by the arm, and trembling with
that deep anxiety which only a mother
can feel, inquired:
"What is the matter? What has
happened? ?"
"Water!" gasped little Jimmie, near
ly scared to death.
1t was brought hiE., when, after
drinking copiously, he exclaimed:
"Oh, mother, swallowed a hole"
"Swallowed hole, Jimmie ?"
ayes, mother, swallowed a hole
with piece of ivory around it,!

Summary of the News That IL Being Pub
lished by Exchanges.


CHESTER-Lantern, June g.: Ches-
ter's quarantine has been raised. 1t
was maintained at heavy expense and
was found to exclude those chiefly
from whom there was no danger, while
the most dangerous element evaded it
very largely. Vaccination is being
rigidly enforced and a systematic
watch is kept all over the city. 1t is
evident that much more good can be
done in this way at less expense. ''''''
Three sections-44 coaches-passed
over the Seaboard last night carrying
the New Jersey volunteers to Jackson
Vile, Fla. MIR. Hosea Holman,
who has been in very bad health for
long time, died Wednesday at his home
in this city, and was buried yesterday
in Evergreen cemetery. Funeral SER
vices were conducted by Rev. II. G..
Buchholz, pastor of the Baptist church,
of which Mr.. Holman was member.
He was a carpenter by trade and has
left much of his handiwork in this
county. ...'''".Up to our latest advices
the city of Chester still has not a case
of smallpox, and the cases in the
county reported in our last issue, ex-
cept one on the Saluda road, are now
admitted to be chickenpox. ''''''''' Miss
Grace DaVega returned from trip to
New York Wednesday night. '''''''' Mr..
J. Lindsay Guy and Miss Emile Powe
were married last Wednesday at the
residence of Mr.. R. w. Abel, of Low
rysville, Rev. J. E. Mahaffty officiat-
ing. They left at once for trip to
Asheyille.
LANCASTER Ledger, June A.
A horse ran away with q son of MIR.
Albert Blackmon, near Mr.. Fitzpat-
rick's, last Wednesday evening, throw
ing him from the buggy and dragging
him about so yards by the lines. The
buggy was broken, but Mr.. Blackmon
was not seriously hurt. '''''On Thurs
day night, Mr.. Robert Ferr, of the
Dixie neighborhood, was seized by a
party of five or six men just beyond
Mr.. Fitzpatrlck's, on the Chesterfield
road, and severely whipped. He was
taken home yesterday morning. We
understand that Mr.. Ferr did not rec
ognize any of the parties. 1t is claim
ed that the whipping was done to in
duce Mr.. Ferr to spend more OF his
time at home. The suppositlon is that
the whitecaps were from the Dixie
neighborhood. .......H. J. Gregory & Co.
had horse killed in their lot yester-
day morning by being hooked by u
bull. Mr.. Poag, of Rock Hill, bought
lot of cattle Thursday afternoon and
they were driven into the Gregory lot.
Yesterday morning one of Mr.. Greg
ory's hands went into the lot with a
pair of horses to hitch to a wagon.
He left the horses in the lot while he
returned to the stable for something
he had forgotten. In his absence the
bull attacked one of the horses, run.
ming one of his horns into its side,
cutting through the bowels and lungs.
The horse lived but short time.

SHARP PRACTICE.-An Ohio cores
pondent becomes sponsor for the fol-
lowing, which, as a matter of fact, he
wishes to put on record:
w. is one of the richest men in those
parts, and has made his money by
driving sharp bargains. His hired
man was one day going along with a
load of hay, which he overturned upon
a cow. The poor thing was smothered
to death before they could get her out.
Her owner, Jones, called upon Mr.. w.
the next day, and demanded payment
for the loss of his COW.
Certainly" said Mr.. W.; "what
do you suppose she was worth?"
"Well, about s10," said Jones.
"And how much did you get for the
hide and tallow ?"
"Ten dollars and half, sir"
"Oh, well, then you owe me just 90
cents"
Jones was mysti6ed, and W. very
fierce in his demand, and before Jones
could get the thing straight in his
mind he forked over the money.

A PRACTICAL MAN.-The writer is
acquainted with thoroughly practi-
cal man that is an example to all who
are apt to treat trihes with indifter-
ence. We have so often heard farm
ers say, sit don't pay to bother with
fowls-we have not the time, either,
TO properly attend to them" Yet this
man in question has a large farm,
raises grain, vegetables and fruit, and
finds ample time to properly care for a
large lot of fowls. He says he cannot
afford to be without them. He needs
the manure (his best fertilizer); he
needs the eggs always fresh); he needs
the meat always plump and tender).
He finds time TO cook food for them in
winter. He finds time to be contin'
ually gathering the droppings; in
short, he finds time to properly attend
to his birds, and he assures us that his
flock of hens pay better dividend
than any crop on the farm. He is
practical and knows what he does"

MosBY AND FITzHUGH LEE.-The
conversation had naturally drifted into
war channels, and the major had the
floor.
"Well, Colonel Mosby, you know
was a good fighter, but when General
Grant sent him to China the Virginians
turned the cold shoulder to him. One
day he was making speech in Alex
andria. He told the Virginians that
they ought to vote for him.
"'Why,' said the colonel, Il fought
all over northern Virginia for four
years. Talk about my war record
Why, my war record is a part of the
states history. Why, gentlemen,
carried the last Confederate flag
through this very town.
"'Yes,' replied Fitzhugh Lee, 'for
I was here at the time
"'Thank you for your fortunate re-
collection gratefully exclaimed Mos
by. 1T is pleasant to know that there
still live some men who move aside
envy and testify to the courage OF
their fellow beings. AS I say, gentle
men, my war record is a part of the
states history, for the gentleman here
will tell you that I carried the last
Confederate flag through this town.
"'That's fact said Fitzhugh Lee
Il saw him do it. He carried the Con,
federate flag through this town, but
Fitzpatrick was after him, and he car
ried it so blamed fast you couldn't
have told whether it was the Confed'
crate flag or smallpox warning "

THE SICK ROOM.

The sick room should be in the
quietest part of the house-away from
the noise of the streets, the ringing of
the door bell, the voices of family call
ers, and the operations of the kitchen.
1t should receive the disinfecting pow
er of sunshine, and yet have the
means of lessening or shutting off the
light at will.
1t should contain no more furniture
than is necessary. In some cases a
single bed is best, because it may be
conveniently approached on either
side. In other cases a double bed is
preferable, in order that the patient
may be moved from one side to the
other. A bed with a contrivance for
lifting the occupant into half-sitting
posture is often desirable.
The room should be capable of the
most thorough ventilation. Pure air
is essential to those in health, but vast
ly more so to the sick. 1t is of more
value than most medicines.
Movements about the sick room
should not be unpleasantly suggestive.
Noiseless slippers are less disturbing
than tiptoe tread. The tones of the
voice and the expression of the face
should be quiet, cheerful, and as natu-
raj as possible. While the room, ex-
cept in special cases, should not be
darkened, the eyes of the patient
should be shielded from direct light.
A good nurse is more helpful than
the doctor-at least she may treble his
efficiency but she should be emphat-
ically good one-duly trained, with
a natural aptitude for her calling, and
in fullest sympathy with the physi-
clan. A self-opinioned nurse may
more than undo all the doctors work.
One of the most difficult things to
manage is, not unfrequently, the mat
ter of visitors. Comparatively few
persons can visit the sick without do.
ing more harm than good. Bed-ridden
people and persons confined to their
chambers or their homes, by chronic
ailments may often be greatly helped
by friendly calls, by various little tam
gible expressions CT sympathy, and, in
general, by sunshine brought from the
outside world, although, even in such
cases, wisdom is required.
But in the case of the acutely sick,
visitors are commonly an evil. AS a
rule, they remain too long, and weary
the patient with untimely talk. 1t
should never be forgotten that one of
the main conditions of recovery is
complete quiet. The question Of the
admission of visitors should be left ab-
solutely to the decision of the physi-
clan and the good sense Of the nurse.
