CHESTER.
Lantern, October Is: A number OF
our exchanges are copying the sore
head remedy as 1t first appeared, AMI
as corrected. This is for chickens; but
some Of the brethren don't want it for
chickens. The Johnston Monitor wants
remedy for sorehead in delinquent
subscribers, municipal croakers, poll
iticians whose worth has not been re-
cognized, and other varieties Of dis
gruntled specimens. For these there
should be modification both Of the in
gradients and the application. Substi-
tute aqua fortis for lard, rub off the
scabs with a currycomb, and apply
with sandpaper. The Edgefleld Adver-
tiser wants cure for big-head. This
prescription will answer for that too, If
applied according to directions. Mr.
w. Y. White has sown 40 acres Of oats,
and sold the balance Of his seed to keep
from sowing any more. He plowed his
land deep and made 1t as smooth as a
lawn, so that the roots can get down
and the oats can grow without any OBJ
stacle. and when they get ripe he can
cut them. Mr.. Hugh White claims
that he has a good defense for not pay
ing Messrs. White and Woods the re-
ward for catching that runaway Ne
gro advertised for about the year 1858.
He says that 1t was his uncle Hugh
White that advertised. Rather than
have any hard feelings about 1t, how
ever he will pay the reward If they
will deliver the Negro to him in as good
condition as when he ran away. AS
he has been dead about 10 years he has
but little fear of their being able to
comply with the terms Of his offer.....
Rev. S. R. Hope and family left last
night for their mission field In Japan.
They went by way Of Washington, and
will go by the Canadian Pacific route
to Vancouver, whence they will sail
November 3rd or 4th..... Mrs. Charles
A. Pierson invites you to be present
at the marriage of her daughter Au-
gusta, to Mr. D. Mabrey Mobley on
Thursday evening, November seventh,
at half past eight o'clock, First Baptist
church, Shelby, N. c." Thus reads a
card just received.

| Ledger, October 26: DR.. J. H. Thorn
we'll stopped over here Thursday en-
route to Kershaw where he delivered
his very entertaining lecture, "A coun-
try person abroad" that night. The
proceeds will go to establishing IL
brary for the graded school at that
place. Mr.. Porcher, a penitentiary
guard, came up Thursday from Colum-
bia, and carried Lawrence Truesdel,
sentenced to life Imprisonment at the
recent term of court for burglary, to
the penitentiary. Elvin Kelly, who was
serving a 13 months sentence on the
gang for housebreaking in the night
time, was also taken to the penitenti-
ary. Kelly was sentenced in October,
1897, but made his escape and was re-
captured last January. On account OF
his poor health he could not be kept
at work and he Is thought recently to
have aided a convict in escaping, 80 1t
was thought best to send him to the
penitentiary. ..... Contractor Reed, OF
Charlotte, came down Wednesday and
began work moving the residence Of
Mr.. J. NJ Hood to the lot north Of the
lot on which it has always stood, to
make room for the handsome new res
idence he will erect on the site of the
old one. It is being moved, chimneys
and all, the family still occupying it,
and everything in its place. Contract
or w. G. Adams is here to begin erect
ing the new residence as soon as the
old one is out Of the way.......Mr. j.
w. Howie, of the Pleasant Grove COM
munity, had the misfortune to get bad
ly hurt last Monday night He and
Mr.. Will Stephenson were returning
from court, and, just as they were
l II,
ed out at them. The horse jumped
suddenly around and turned the bug
gy over on Mr.. HOWE, bruising him
up badly, principally in the left side.
It is hoped that his bruises are not Sc
rious.

year. He planted it twice and after

holes. Mr.. Johnson has just begun to
