HOW IT'S DONE.

A German calculator says that sc
per cent of the suitors press the hand
of the fair one, "a per cent conclude
their avowal with an embrace, per
cent kiss the hair, 2 per cent kiss the
hand, per cent fall on their knees,
and 20 per cent are SO nervous that
they feel lump In the throat which
they find almost prevents speech.
Ten per cent of the men are SO
overcome that they cannot speak at
all, but open and shut their mouths
without producing a sound, and 2 per
cent make their proposals standing
on one foot.
AS regards the women, 60 per cent
sink helpless into the lovers arms,
20 per cent blush and hide their faces,
per cent faint away, per cent are
genuinely amazed, IA per cent gaze
silently into the suitor's eyes, and /
per cent run away to tell girl friend
The great statistician, however,
omits to tell US how he obtained his
figures.

help the cause of Israel but his
brothers told him to run along home

The armies were separated by a
ravine and every day great big bull

name, appeared on the brow OF the
hill and challenged the Israelites to
fight him. King Saul was in despair.
for there wasn't soldier in the camp
OF Israel who showed any inclination
to accept the challenge.
David heard the war cry and he al
so saw that not a soldier stirred in
Israeps camp to accept the challenge.
'If no one else will, I'll do it, he
said to the sentinels, and ran down
the hillside to the brook. selected five
smooth stones and put them in a bag.
Then he bravely went up the hill IN
the presence of the two armies to
meet the giant.
Goliath laughed. He was surprised
to see the simple shepherd boy with

Come to Joe Mays Rescue.

Our friend Joe Mays has worn
out nine lead pencils, consumed
three gallons of kerosene and knit
ted his brow countless times in his
efforts to ascertain how many eggs
this good woman had in her basket
and, as he has failed to definitely
determine the exact number, we
persuaded him to let The Advertis-
er request some one to come to his
assistance before his locks are made
to grow as white as some of the
bur- stained cotton that is now being
marketed in Edgefeld:
A woman took a basket of eggs
to the city for sale. Upon being
asked how many she had, she re-
piled: IF I take the eggs out of the
basket, two at time, / have one
egg left. If / take them out three at
a time / have one egg left. If l take
them out four at time I have one
left. If ] take them out five at a
time / have one left. If l take them
out six at a time / have one egg
left, but if / take them out seven al
a time ! have none left in the bas.
ket." How many eggs had she in
the basket?

Cotton Coin Down de Hill. y

While the writer was crossing the
public square Saturday, vending
his way between the wagons, he
heard negro in full African dia-
lect and accentuation say: Il be dog
if cotton amt sho goin' down de
hill" Yes, it has steadily gone
down, down, down, and we see but
little prospect of it's regaining the
loss until receipts are very much
lighter. Eggs or peas or potatoes or
silk or satin or shoes or clothing or
bacon or sugar or any other article
of commerce would go down, down,
down, like cotton, if rushed and
crowded upon the market. Farmers
may meet and pass resolutions
world without end fixing the price,
but not until there is slow, steady,
gradual marketing of cotton will
they in anywise be able to very ma
terially control the price.
