VALLEY FORD, Wash. Nov. 19--
The last Business one might expect
to find a woman engaged In is the
hog raising sort, but Mrs. r. A..

hogs This summer she raised a
hog weighing 29O pounds at seven
months old Spokane Kid is the un-

Since becoming interested in hogs
several years ago Mrs. Noteware has
built up a business that brings her
more orders than she can fill for
breeding stock. From a herd OF
100 registered pigs she has now
more than 1000 high priced hogs,
and in addition to the fancy stock
she supplies fancy markets OF the

Prohibited Fight Easter.

1t matters not where the Anleri-
can flag is unfurled to the breeze
it stands for the highest, noblest and
best in everything. This was exem-
pli6ed the other day when the United
States minister to Cuba, Capt. W.
E. Gonzales, protested against holding
a prize fight in Havana on Easter Sum
day. Sunday is scarcely observed any
where in Cuba as day set apart for
rest and worship. 1t is rather gala
day, one devoted to sport and de-
bauchery of all kinds, especially in
Havana. Capt. Gonzales knew that it
would be repulsive to the people he
in the United States to have
a prize fight between the worlds
champions on Easter, so he undertook
to have the date changed. At his sug-
gestion the day for the prize fight was
fixed for Monday April 5, instead of
Faster.

Compulsory Education.

The enactment of the compulsory
school attendance law was somewhat
belated to be of benefit during the
present session. In this county schools
are already closing. BY the opening of
the session 1876 a dozen or more
school districts should take the neces-
sary steps under the law to enforce a
large attendance on the part of the
white children. In every section the
colored children are attending school,
even if they are compelled to walk a
considerable distance. Where white
children are not attending voluntarily
they should be forced to attend. What
district in this county will be the first
to act under the compulsory school at
tendance law?

Matthews-DeLaughter.

One of the most beautiful we'd
dings of the season was that of Mr..
John Randall DeLaughter and Miss
Melvie Stella Matthews, which oc-
Cured on Sunday at the beautiful
colonial home of the Misses Lanier,
on the Martintown Road, near North
Augusta.
The ceremony was very impress
sively performed by Rev. j. Il.
Littleiohn, of Edgefeld in the pres
ence of large number of relatives
and friends of the bride and groom.
The historic parlor, where the
ceremony was performed. was deco
rated in the most artistic manner
with beautiful ascension lilies and
other spring flowers.
The brides only attendants were
her two lovely cousins, Miss Lena
DeLaughter of North Augusta and
Miss Leila DeLaughter of Edge
field, who wore dainty dresses of
soft white silk and entered with
Mr.. Jabie Hammond and Mr..
Townes of Edgefeld.
The bride, and exceptionally
charming young woman, wore a
stylish coat suit of gray cloth with
an exquisite chiffon blouse and hat
of the same shade.
After the ceremony an informal
buffet was served.
Mr.. and Mrs. DeLaughter belong
to two of the Oldest and most prom
inent families of South Carolina
and have countless friends through
out the state, who feel the most cor
dial good wishes and sincerest in
terest in the announcement of their
marriage.
After short bridal tour they
will be at home to their friends at
the country home of the groom.
They were tie recipients of many
handsome presents.

Soon after the legislature adjourned
Governor Manning turned his attention

AS he has been giving especial atten-

not the case. In the matter of sup

no difficulty in controlling the situation
in the "dry" counties. 1t is due the

ton.

Among the most important of all
the benefits of thorough prepara,
tion we believe is the saving Of ex-
pGnse in later cultivation. We do
not overlook the benefit of prepara-
ton in obtaining good stund, nor
any of the other results of tillage;
but the use of those implements
which are most efficient and eco
nomical in the early cultivation of
the crop is so dependent on thorough
preparation that we regard this one
benefit alone which results from
good preparation sufficient to justify
any one in giving extra work
to the soil before the crops are
planted.
1t is a we'll known fact that the
most expensive implement used for
cultivating corn, cotton and other
row crops in the South is the hoe.
Until we reduce the hoeing TO the
lowest possible amount we can not
produce such crops most economi-
cally. That the abundance of la
Dor in the past has on our practice
too extensive use of the hoe can
not be denied. Even our best far
mers are frequently victims of this
expensive habit and there ar, few
among US who give as much thought
to cutting out this expensive method
of cultivating a crop as we should.
