Catholic Church Dedicated Oc-
tober FL, 1860.

In looking through some old
copies of The Advertiser several
days ago we came across the fol
lowing notice Of the dedication of
the Catholic church, which, aside
from its historic value, will be of
peculiar interest to many Of our
readers, the date of this old copy
of The Advertiser being Wednes-
day October "a, 1860:
THE dedication of this noble
structure to God, on last Sunday,
was most imposing ceremony,
performed, as it was, by the Right
Rev. Bishop Lynch, and his assist
ant Clergy, with all the pomp and
solemnity demanded by SO sublime
an occasion. The capacious temple
was filled to overfowing, with all
denominations of our people, and
nothing was omitted that might
have contributed to the grandeur
and the glory Of the scene.
THE Choir was assisted b. the
best performers and singers in Char
lesion, and better Church music
never raised the aspirations of man
towards Heaven.
''The Bishop delivered a chaste,
clear, and eloquent address in the
morning, and in the evening DR..
O'Connel of Columbia made an
able vindication of the doctrine of
-trausubstantiation.

The fowls must be fed at least
twice day.
Exercise Is necessary for both
health and egg production.
A box Of crushed oyster Shell
should always be within reach.
Split carrots, turnips and cabbage
in half, instead Of chopping fine.
Clear fresh water is necessary for
the hens at all times and all seasons.
The most profitable way to keep
chickens of any kind Is to feed them
well.
TO obtain q supply Of winter eggs
we must have the chicks out early in
the spring.
Old fowls require less feed than
young ones and it is mistake to
overfatten them.
The walls and roosts should be kept
free from mites, which suck the life.
blood of the fowls.
Cement floors should be we'll GOV.
cred with straw. The bare floor is
too hard and too cold.
After the second annual mott hens
! are apt to become eggbound, espe-
cially if we'll fed and fat.
When the clean, fresh eggs are gath.
cred they should be put in clean,
dry, cool place until marketed.
A plump young turkey, dressing
from eight to fifteen pounds, finds a
| market at almost any season OF the
year.
To insure success have the build
ings for the hens ready early, and
choose fowls of the right age and In
good condition. .

Mark 1wain's Criticism.

Mark Twain was visiting II. r.
Rogers, who leading the humorlst
to his library, said, as he pointed to
a bust of white marble: What do
you think of that?" 1t was bust OF
a young woman coiling her hair,
a very graceful example of modern
Italian sculpture.
Mr.. Clemens looked at it a mo-
ment and then he said: 1t isn't
true to nature"
why not?" asked Mr.. Rogers.
She ought to have her mouth
full of hairpins," said the humorist.

l solicit trial shipment to me at

handling pays more in long stapl
than in short staple cotton, for the
fibre is injured in freeing it from
