My job would have cost last year about $52.50; il is going to cost this year ?57.75. $0.25. I suppose it'll bethe s._.e again, if I wait again. What if paint goes down to $2 a gallon? $2.50 on the job! I shan't wait; what a fool I was! The Edgefield Mercantile Com pany sells it. Come to The Fair.

The above ?B the text of last Sun day's sermon in the Presbyterian church by the Rev. E. C. Bailey. Having given the history of Da vid the father, and Absalom, the ?on,whose life depicted in the down fall, had promised such a bright future, the speaker proceeded to show when a young woman and young man is not safe, but in great danger. He showed that Da vid was truly penitent of his sins, but penitence did not save him from suffering the consequencss of the sins of his youth; for he reaped an harvest of sorrow in the life of his favorite child, Absalom. No one can read the 18th chapter of 2nd Samuel said he, without being solemnly impressed with the fact that fathers and mothers reap in their children what they sowed in their youth; and that we would all meet our lives either in this world or in the next. He said that all of the sorrows of life were insignifi cant compared with the disgrace brought upon us by ourohildren; that there were many forces to drag the youth of the land into hell; that the ambition of a bad person was to get others on their level; and that to such persons nothing is sacred. He said David was anxious about this child because he knew what thia child inherited from the pa rents, and was somewhat anticipat ing trouble, as a result* "Men do not gather grapes of thorns" nei ther can a Godless parent expect good ohildren, without the interpo sition of grace. Many parents of this county will repeat the sad wail of David for a way Prof. Prescott, of the University of j Michigan, testified before the Pure j Food Committee of Congress, that the acid of grapes held highest rank as an j article of food and he regarded the re- | suits from baking with cream of tartar j baking powder as favorable to health, j Royal is the only Baking Powder made from Royal Crape Cream of Tartar* anity is a diploma signifying that we are in the school of Christ. The speaker discussed with ear nestness, pro and con, the following topics, showing the innooenoy and the guilt connected with them; namely, the old and the new card party; the old and the new dance; the old and the new home party; November Weddings The selection of a wedding present is made easy at our store because of our very stock of large GOLD AND SILVER JEWELRY, TIME PIECES, CUT GLASS, SILVER WAKE, CUTLERY, CHESTS OF SILVER. New and original designs from the largest and most reliable manufacturers. Wm. SCHWEIGEST & CO. Augusta, Ga. ward child; but tears and anguish ?annot blot out the past. Now, said the speaker, when is a young person safe? I do not answer this in a professional way, when I say, Christianity alone can secure the safety of the child. Morality is only a certificate that denotes proficien cy along some lines, while Christi the old and the new conventions; the old and the new home. He solemnly warned parents not to al low their children to attend, even religious conventions alone; saying that in these days many crimes are committed in the name of rtligion. He said, the youth are not safe in a godless home where the Bible is closed and the voice of prayer never heard. They are not free from danger in some house parties; no* free from danger visiting the homes of people in the summer who have written all over them interrogation marks, and in some instances, ex clamations of horror that a parent would allow his or her child to visit such a "staying place." Un readable books fill i the world, and bad company are dragging our youth to the bad. One of the great curses of the age is following the fashiwns, wnich are hatched in the lowest place on the face of the globe. He touched both on the style and quantity of the dress of the age; the masoulined women, said he, is one of the curses of this age. Sow it said he, but it will come back with doable measure at that period of life when most you need rest and comfort. The church was crowded and the attention undivid ed as the congregation breathed amen in many places. There are those who will differ with the speaker upon certain points, doubt less, but the message was freighted with meaning to those who must live in their children. Standing by the entrance of a large estate in the suburbs of Glas gow are two huge dogs carved out of granite. An Englishman, going by in a hack, thought he would have some fun with the Scotch driver. "How often, Jaok, do they feed those two big dogs?" "Whenever they bark, sir," was the straight-faced reply. ^-Seasonable Implements-| We invite the farmers of Edgefield county to call ? and inspect our 3-horse disc plows and our pony disk ^ plows, the latter does excellent work and can be easi ly drawn by 2 horses.
