g. g. Joynes, Sup't.

This event was chronicled at the
home of Mr.. L. T. LeCato by quite a
gathering of young people represent
ing both COMMITTEES. The Lesnie
Lodge had been offered by its owner,
DR.. Ward, for the occasion, and its
large sitting room, comfortably
heated, made the occasion very en-
joyable.
The New Year was ushered in I'M
der the strain of many sweet voices
singing "Auld Lang syne" Short
impromptu speeches were made by
Rev. N. MeInturf, Rev. Mr.. Brad
ford and Mr.. s. J. burlington. At
one o'clock the company dispersed,
leaving calm that the heavy white
frost did not disturb.

One of the most popular events of
the season was reception at the
home Of Miss Virginia d. Bulls
Tuesday evening OF last week. After
an elegant supper was served a
musical was held in which some fine
music was rendered, both vocal, and
instrumental.
The storehouse of Mr.. Major T.
Wise, at this place, together with a
part of the stock Of goods of Mr..
Rogers s. West occupying same, were
destroyed by fire Monday morning
It's origin is due, it is believed,to the
explosion of coal oil stove in the
upper part of the building. Neither
storehouse or goods were insured
Loss on the former estimated al
about $500 on the latter about $500

The Zell Guano Co.
Gentlemen:-Replying to in
ouiries regarding "Zslls Truck Grow
er,"would say that l have been using
it almost exclusively the past 8 years
on Irish potatoes. Last year l tried
two other kinds Of fertilizers by the
side of it which cost more The re-
suit was decidedly in favor Of your
goods, as the potatoes were much
nicer than those grown with the
other goods. l have ordered from
your agent, Mr.. w. L. Mock, 6 tons
for Irish potatoes for the coming
season, also tons of "Tilghman's
Fish Mixture" from him for sweets
| shall not buy pound OF any other
goods.
Respectfully,
J.E. Justice.

better where the Truck Grow

from your agent, Mr.. W. l.. Mock
for Irish potatoes for the coming sea-
son and shall use no other. For
sweets | shall use tons of "Tilgh'

THE CLEANLINESS.
All these features on the Sharpless

easy Of reach, only waist high and the
separator bowl only one piece in IT,
against from 10 to 80 in most others,
The cleaning of the bowls in other
machines would drive most any wo-
man crazy, trying to clean thoroughly
the small bowls or jagged points.
The Sharpless bowl is hollow and
smooth, and they can be cleaned in
stantly
The gears run in oil and are en-
closed, so that. there is absolutely no
danger, as in many other machines.
The separator season will soon be
on in full force, and the Sharpless, as
usual, will be at the front. II you are
planning to buy, drop us a line and
wen enclose catalogue and printed

can and sec the machine. You'll agree
