A StartleF.

A gentleman whose hearing is de-
fective Is the owner Of dog that Is the
terror Of the neighborhood In which he
lives.
The other day he was accosted by a
friend, who said:
'Good morning, Mr.. 81. Your wife
made a very pleasant call on us last
evening""
"I'm very sorry" came the startling
reply. ''I'u see that 1t don't occur
again. for I'm going to chain her up in
future."-London Telegraph.

Took Him at His Word.

"Men on newspapers often have
peculiar experiences" said w. A. Fair
child Of Chicago, land such one be-
fell friend Of mine some time ago.
The friend in question was city editor
of great daily, and In the course Of
his manifold duties it fell to his lot to
take to task one Of his reporters. The
reporter in question was an English
man, slow Of thought and action and
miserly of speech. Through the TRADE
to which he was subjected he said
nothing, and when it finally ended he
left the presence Of his superior with
out any comment.
But. as the result proved. he did
some tall thinking. City editors when
'riled.' as Is well known, are not par
ticularly choice or economical In the
language they bestow on their unfor-
tunate reporters. and among other
things the Englishman had been told
that he was no better than-in fact,
was-a crazy man and that his proper
habitat was lunatic asylum and not
the hall bedroom Of Chicago board.

acted upon them. He promptly went
to an asylum. had himself thoroughly
examined by three or four alienists
and secured from them an official GER
tificate to the fact that he was sane.
With this he appeared at the Office of

the editors sanctum, he slapped II
down before his astonished and dis.

once that city editor capitulated."

Pleased With The Dispensary Law.

BARNwELL, 5. c., April ID, 1901.
Editor Misunderstanding has ever
given me more pleasure than to see the
statement in your paper that Farmyille
is to have dispensary.
Since have been in South Carolina
| have become convert to this most
simple solution Of the liquor problem.
Though long familiar with saloon sys-
tenn, one year in a model dispensary
town has convinced me that Senator
Tlman's plan il infinitely superior.
Barnwell, before the dispensary was
established, was as corrupt as a town
could well be. On account of m0bs of
drunken negroes il was not safe for
ladies to walk on the streets at night
or OH public days. Drinking, gamb-
ling, billiard playing and shooting pis-
tolls were part Of the daily program Of
crime, aud under such conditions muir
ders were frequently committed
Quiet days and peaceful nights were
ushered in with the dispensary, and
Barnwell is now one Of the most de-
lightful towns in which / have ever
lived. Since it is the principal town in
one Of the largest counties in the State.
a great deal Of whiskey is sold here,
but within and around the dispensary
il is as quiet and a. orderly as IN one
Of your drug stores Drinking and
treating has been reduced to a mini
mum as liquor is sold only in original
packages and cannot be drunk within
30 feet of the dispensary. Drunken
ness il seldom heard Of and then gen.
erilly among negroes.
The towns share Of the profits Is

County Fairs.

An exchange well says on this SUBJ
ject:
"a great portion Of the success OF
these western farmers is undoubtedly
attributable to these county fairs,
bringing, as they do, neighborly rivalry
and competition and stimulating prog
ress. Every county in Georgia, every
county in every southern state, should
have its fair. Wherever a county fair
association or a county agricultural
society has held its fairs good results
have followed. There is no better way
to promote the best welfare Of agricul-
ture than by means Of the county fairs.n
Who can gain-ay this? Prince Ed
ward is as much entitled to this "neigh-
borly rivalry, competition and stimu-
lating progress" as are others. Farm
willie is selected a. the place for holding
this Fair or by common consent il is
the best place. once a year is none
too often. and six months Of preparR-s
ton is none too long. As was said in

Sad. Sad nenfh-

The shadow of death has fallen upon
one of the sunnlest hom of our town.
A sad surprise came to our people Mon
day morning in the announcement
that Mrs. p. w. Beckham had died the
night before. Less than year ago DR..
Beckham brought her to Farmville a
bride. She came a stranger to us all.
but she was highly endowed with the
gifts that make and fasten friends.
Those who saw most of her were i'm
pressed with her as a model young wife.
Her face had always a catching smile
and her dice a merry ring. She was
arm-hearted and sincere, ingenious
and singularly free from afiectatiOn.
To these virtues of lovely woman she
added the GROWING graces Of a devout
Christian. With much suffering she
approached the end Of her course, but
she faced il with the composure Of the
victor and even before her mortal Wis
ion was closed to the things Of time aud
sense she was accorded bright glmpses
Of the spirit world.
Loving hands laid her away beside
the tender babe that had gone on but
two days before. "The Lord gave and |
the Lord hath taken away May the |
broken-hearted husband and father be |
able to say, "Blessed be the name of /
the Lord" The good people Of Farm
vile mingle their tears with his and
pray for his comfort and peace.
