Two Young Ladies Visiting. Thone long, lonesome looks on the faces of some young men around here are not caused altogether by the destruction of human life over in Europe nor by the low price of eotton, nor even by |the general fi nancial depression existing every where, The troth of the whole mat ter, as we found out this morning, is that Miss Sarah Nicholson ha? gone away for a stay of a couple of weeks with ber brother, Hon. W. H. Nicholson and his bride in Greenwood, and Miss Elizabeth Rainsford bas gone. Not exactly gone for good, but only for a few day* to visit her relative Mrs. Bus sey in Augusta. We hope they will not tarry long for we are already tired of the aforesaid lonesome looks. Subscriber. Letter From a Little Girl. Dear Mr. Miras:- Willyou allow me just, a little space in your paper to thank my friends and neighbors for being so kind as to take chances for the missionary quilt. Mrs. S. B. Mays was the winner of the quilt. You may think it strange that I, a little girl eleven, should be thanking ray friends instead of the society. The society made out the list of members and asked me to get up the chances. I must say that my friends were very liberal, some taking as roany as five chances at ten cents a chance. There may be many souls led to Christ with those dimes. We were glad to know that so many were in terested in the great missionary work. The quilt brought $4.00. . Annie Louise Grafton. Put Your Money in the Bank. Every farmer who ha? any money on hand, even if only 125, will do well to start the New Year by open ing a bank account. We fear that it is true that the greata body of Southern farmers thin season have made times harder tban they need to have been simply by failing, even when they did sell cotton or tobac co, to put what surplus money they had into circulation. Put your money in the bank and check on it as needed; or if you will not need it for six months or a year, put it in the savings department and let it be drawing interest. There are nu merous advantages of putting your money in a bank: 1. It is businesslike and more safe. By paying bills with cheeks \ou escape the trouble and expense of money orders, you impress the men you deal with as being more businesslike, and * you have the re turnedchecks as receipts that can' t be questioned. 2. You will be less likely to spend the money than if it were in your breaches pocket. You will begin to want to see your bank balance increase rather than decrease, and the first thing you know you will become a man of thrift. You will have the "saving habit" and begin to get interest money from others instead of paying interest money to others. 3. The banks help those who help them. If you deposit even a small sum in a bank and show yourself thrifty, sober, industrious, you will presently find yourself able to bor row money to hold your crops or to izet money at six or eight per cent for buying supplies instead of pay ing live to ten times as much inter est in the form of "time prices." Put your money in the bank, and start out io be a "business farmer." -Progressive Farmer. Diversified Crops in the Cotton States. Certainly anything that can be done to help the South iu its imme diate emergency should be done. But the final remedy for such a sit uation as the cotton planters are facing now must come from finding new uses for cottou, and the result ing increase in demand, and from a greater diversification of crops in the cotton states. The cotton planter now vtry generally buys hay and corn for cash. He must get in the habit of raising such necessities for himself. It has been ascertained by the department of agriculture that whereas the average Ohio farm has 125 fowls, the average South Carolina farm has only 14. The best friends of the South and of its j planters believe that the true way to guard against the ups and downs of "King Cotton" is to raise at home the crops now bought from the West and increase the produc tion of small farm animals.-Re view of Review. Outside of a few very special ser vices, the last prayer meeting, Sun day school aud morning preaching at the Method ist Church were record breakers for attendance. To all we sayr come agaiu. J. R. Walker Seeing the Old Year Out [BY JOHN LAKE.] Father, now the dying day Calls for me no more! Sad at heart I turn away Human help is o'er! Once I might have made it brighter, Made its heavy burdens lighter, Made its record cleaner, whiter Than the days before. Father! oh, the dying year! Dying in this storm! Gone my chance to give him cheer, Make him glad and warm! Oh, I've made the old year older; Oh, I've made the cold year colder; Oh, I've kept my selfish shoulder . From the year's reform! Day and year in one white shroud, Lying at my feet! How the recollections crowd Round that winding sheet! Round that bier the ghosts of hours "Frittered idly, ghoBts of powers, Ghosts of blessings sent in showers. Rise my soul to greet! If I see the glad sunlight Of another day, If I see the new year bright, O my God, I pray, May I never lose another \ Chance to help a fallen brother, Chance to cheer a weeping mother, Chance to smoothe the way! S chenk-Holmes. Married, Wednesday December 30, by Rev. J. T. Littlejohn, Miss Bessie Schenk and Mr. Chas. R. Holmes of Colliers, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Schenk. On account of illness of the groom's father, their marriage was a very quiet one, only the immedi ate families being present. Immediately after the ceremouy a salad ?course, ambrosia and cake were served. Pneumonia-How to Get it and and How to Miss it. We here give three good ways to encourage pneumonia: (l) drink lots of alcoholic liquors, the poorer the quality the better; (2) expose yourself without sufficient clothing, particularly in extreme weather; (3) live and sleep with your win dows closed. If you don't want pneumonia heed the following ways of avoid ing it: (1) Let all alcoholic drinks alone. (2) Dress according to the weath er instead of according to the fash ion. * (3) If exposed to rough weather, or if you get wet and numb, un dress in a warm room, rub the skin with a coarse towel and go to bed. (4) Avoid constipation by eating more fruit and less meats and pas-' try and drinking more water and taking more exercise. (5) Keep jour feel warm and your head cool. (Q) Live and sleep in the fresh air all the time.-North "Carolina Board of Health. The twilight hour: After such a good dinner vou ought not to be hungry, but if you eat cut a piece of cheese, open a can of salmon, serve with Durkee's salad dressing, snow flake crackers, and Samurai tea. Goodnight. - Collett & Mitchell. Prompt Action Will Stop Your Cough. When you first catch a Cold (of ten indicated by a sneeze or cough), break it up at once.
