first possible moment thereafter"
1t is not within the power of every
one of us to contribute large amount;
but, in such a matter. the same total
sum freely siven by the community at
large is worth ten times over what 1T
would be worth If donated in bulk by
a few enthusiastic individuals.
There is room for all on this roll
of honor; and the widows mite is
as welcome as the rich mans NOR.
For the good name of Laurens
therefore, and in behalf of civic right
eousness. it is our plain duty to carry
out the injunction which the inscrip-
tion on one shaft thus simply but
eloquently proclams;
I'VE loved them in life.

CITY DELIVERY.

1t is now sQuarely up to the city
council to get busy and complete
the work necessary to give the town
free city delivery. The government
granted Laurens the right to have this
addition to our postal system over a
year ago when the postotfice receipts
here were sufficient to entitle the town
to it, The only remaining require
ments to be fulfilled are the naming
of streets and the numbering of the
houses. The city is certainly able to
afford the rather small sum required
to do this, We realize that the city
treasury is not overlooking. but GER
tanning so important an addition TO
our postolice service should not be
put aside on account OF few hundred
dollars.

CORN CROP PROSPECT.

ID USlNESS is now in the usual midsummer dull
I'D season. waiting the hnanciers say, for the
corn crop. This ought to be good weather for
corn good corn crop means a great deal to
the nation. There is an indicated yield OF 1851
100000 bushels which among other things means
that the farmers are secure in their power TO
maintain their live stock. Millions of corn will be
transported by the railway companies and the
money derived therefrom will flow into the chan
nels of trade.
With good crops there is no valid reason why
with the beginning of autumn, business should not
enter upon very successful season. To be sure
the price of stocks has been going down without
sufficient explanation for the lower movement un-
less II be that the manpulators are in command of
the market. The real basis wealth of the country
is as strong as ever, and we ought to have years
OF prosperity before us.
