^tumorous Jlcpartmrot. FROM BUNKUM. o A Buncoed Man's Clever Revenge. Silas Tatman came to town Saturday ^ with the avowed intention of revenging himself on a smooth-spoken young man who bad met him on a former visit and had relieved him of a carpet sack containing his money and return y tioket. '' Tatman came in from Bunkum. Bun~ - i i j? i ? kum is renowned tor its large norueus g nests and the war-like and "grouchy" y dispositions of their occupants. When Silas arrived at the depot, in- li stead of going to the hotel, he sat i down in the smokingroom and waited. The Bunkum farmer had not been g seated five minutes when he was ap- t proached by a fellow with a sharp, inquisitive nose and a checked suit. c The stranger extended his band. a "I believe I know you," said he. "You are from?" "Bunkum," replied Tatman. J "To be sure; Bunkum. And your name is?" "Tatman." ' "Why, of course. How are you, Mr. ? Tatman ?" "Tolerable;" and Tatman looked J down at his gripsack and chuckled. c "My name's Cunningham," went on F the stranger, grasping one of Silas's hands in both his own. "Ha, ha, ha! it Strange I couldn't remember your t name." a "Ha, ha, ha! 'Twas kinder funny. I reckon thar hain't a nice quiet little t place somewhere where a feller can t talk with a friend what he ain't seen 0 for nigh on to two year." "Oh, yes," said Cunningham, in his j softest tone. "I know just the place, not a block from here." * "Then I reckon we might as well go there if you're sure it's safe walking through the streets with as much money as I've got in this here satchel." The fellow's fingers seemed to itch ? as the two walked along. "Ain't you afraid," said he, "of being robbed?" "Wall, you just bet your sweet life ,v the fellow who opens old Silas Tat- 11 man's valise will be eorry." 1 Cunningham turned on a little side 0 street, leading his friend by the arm. About half way down the block they ii entered a dark and dingy-looking sa- s loon. Cunningham spoke familiarly v to the barkeeper, who directed them t ? i to a room id toe uaca ui tu? piwc. The two sat down at the table, and p were joined presently by three other b men. Gladsomely they tipped the s would-be investor upon the wheat b market, and guilelessly did Rusticus t hint at the precious yellow contents of his old green bag. The "cons" grew p impatient, and also Silas was panting p for his revenge. t "Well, gentlemen," said he, "I reck- s on I'd better be a-goin', and I'd like to g leave that 'ere money with you, so as it'll be safe while I hunt up a stoppin' place." r They men were perfectly willing to accommodate Farmer Tatman. They n assured him that the carpet-bag and its contents would be perfectly safe, and that they would be willing to wait un- . til he came back. '' "Much obliged, gentlemen," and * Tatman arose. " 'Tisn't very often ^ that a feller meets such kind friends ^ as you are in a strange city, and it's v kinder soothin' ter know that a fellow's leavin' his money with honest people. ^ I reckon I'll be back in about an hour." ^ TUe leilOWS oowea mm uuu oy a clever dodge he managed to slip the u key of the door in his pocket before he 8 left the room. He remained on the outside long enough to turn the bolt d silently in the lock, after which he en- a tered the adjoining room. o In another instant a piercing yelp p rent the air. Whack ! Crash ! Bang! b The chairs were upturned and the table was tumbled over in the mad scram- b ble for the door. r As Silas slipped into the street, he D heard the door crash in as one of the n men on the inside dealt it a blow with d a chair. Over his shoulder he saw a v stream of hornets sail after the bar tender. * g Twenty minutes later, from his re- ^ treat in the alley across the street, r Tatman saw his five friends limping t out of the saloon to the ambulance, a which had been backed up to tne euro- a stone.?Boston True Flag. i E The Colonel's Suit.?Some years r ago, says the Minneapolis Tribune, ^ when Judge Hicks was not as pros- e perous as he has been in late years, he 0 owed a little bill of $25 to a wellknown g * firm, and one of the members came to t J; see him about it. The judge, then a plain colonel, lately returned from the war, frankly confessed that he was "busted," and asked for an extension of time. ? "Can't do it" said the gentleman ; ^ "if you don't pay it we'll have to sue v you." "How can I pay when I haven't got the money ?" asked the colonel ; "all I ^ want is a little time." "Well, we'll have to bring suit," 8 said the gentleman, as he started off. 0 "Hold on," said the colonel, as a v bright idea struck him ; "if you must 1 sue me, why not give me the case? You will have to employ some lawyer." J "That's so," said the gentleman; ^ "all right, bring the suit." uoionei hicks orougnt tne suit, con- ~ fessed judgment, sent in his bill for a $50 attorney's fees, collected it, and v then settled the judgment. From that . time on he had all the firm's law busi- li ness. d ? ? n ti&T On board an ocean steamer a y gentleman wished to help a lady, who " was of an inquiring mind, to compre- r hend the priuciple of the steam engine, s This is how he cleared away the difficulties : "Why, you see, ma'am," j quoth he, "it's just one thing goes up, r and then another thiug comes down, g and then they let the smoke on, which 0 makes the wheels go round. That's k what they call the hydraulic principle. a It's quite simple when you know it." s "Law me, I never understood it before ? n But, then, I never had it properly ex- \ plained," replied the fair listener. c I t@P An Irishman watching a game of t baseball was sent to grass by a foul ? which struck him under the left rib. e "A fowl, was it?

LESSON XI, FOURTH QUARTER, IN- ' TERNATIONAL SERIES, DEC. 13. 1 Text of the Lesson, Prov. xxill, 15-35. . Memory Verses, 19-21 ? Golden Text, r Prov. xxill, 21?Commentary by the Rev. ( D. M. Stearns. \ 16. "My son, If thlno heart bo wise, my heart shall rejoice?even mine " In listening to this father entreating his son we * must think of our Heavenly Father en- f treating His children, for all the love of t parents to children is but the faintest shad- j nw of the love of our Father in heaven. As } physically, so spiritually, the heart is everything, and without a healthy heart the body cannot have perfect health, so-without a new heart we cannot have spiritual health. Out of the heart are the issues of life (Prov. iv, 28). Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh (Math, xii, 84). Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts and all uncleanness, for It is desperately wicked (Math, rv, 19; Jer. xvii, 10). 10. "Yea, my veins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things." The substance of our conversation indicates the condition of our heart, and if we thought of this we might be more careful of our words. The Lord looks upon the heart, and not only so, but upon the imagination of the thoughts of the heart (I Sam. xvl, 7; I Chron. xxvill, 9), and perhaps this may help us to understand "the veins." Parents may well rejoice in their Inmost being when their children speak right things. 17. "Let not thine heart envy sinners, but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the daylong." A new heart is a heart in which God dwells; it is put in us by God | Himself that Ho alone may occupy it It 18 a JHJW spring 10 OUT aCblUUB, nunu nuu thoughts, a new motive for everything, 1 oven God working in us those things which c are pleusing in His sight Such a heart c will not envy sinners, but will rejoico in [ the Lord alway, and, abiding in His love, ( satisfied with His goodness, will fear to grieve Him lest it lose this fellowship, which is heaven on earth. 18. "For Burely there is an end, or re- 1 ward, and thine expectation shall not be 1 cut off." See this repeated in chapter t xxiv, 14, and add Jer. xxix, 11, "I know t tho thoughts I think toward you," saith t tho Lord, "thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an end and expectation." * The expectation of tho return of Christ, and the righteousness that shall then be seen, 1 the wrongs that shall be righted, and the glory that shall be revealed, is tho most helpful truth which I as a redeemed soul \ have ever seem Do not tho words "end," j "reward," "expectation," all point to itf j Well has it been written, "Ho that hath this hope in Him, purifleth himself even as 11 He is pure" (I John ill, 8). I 19. "Hear thou, my son, and be wise, i and guide thine heart in the way." Our i Lord 6aid, "Be wiso as serpents and harm- t less as doves" (Math, x, 16). And in Jos. [ iii, 17, we read of the nature of true wis- j dom, that it is "first puro, then peaceable, . gentle and easy to bo intreatod, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, c and without hypocricy." Surely this is * none other than Christ Himself, and as to t I the way, there is nono but He. He is wis- j dom, and He Is the way, ana unrisc in us f is the liopo of glory, the glory Which recti- v fles our life here and purifies from all un- . cleanness. 20. " Bo not nmong wine bibbers; among 8 riotous eaters of flesh." This sort of thing a belongs to the wisdom of earth, which is t sensual and devilish (Jos. ill, 16). The t kingdom of God is not meat and drink, j but righteousness and peace and joy in the a Holy Ghost (Rom.- xlv, 17). The word for j the believer is "Be not drunk with wine, but be filled with the Spirit" (Eph. v, 18). c Any method of reform short of that which c looks to a new heart, a new fountain with- f in, will prove unavailing. Tho old nature t is incurably corrupt in the sight of God (Rom. vlii, 7), and though it may bo made flomotrKuf fiimnnwiti* if. nnrAT1 _ Uiurut auu nuuiunuuv vuui|^?Mwf ? .?. r, can enter the kingdom. Only that which is born from above can enter (John iii, 8, r margin). 1 HI. " For the drunkard and the glutton i shall come to' poverty, and drowsiness f shall clothe a man with rags." Whatever c may become of the drunkard as to this life it is written that drunkards cannot inherit ' the kingdom (I Cor. vl, 10). As to the c glutton ho 'was, according to law, to be ( stoned with stones (Deut. xxl, 20, 21). t 22. "Hearken unto thy father that begat t thee and despise not thy mother when she t is old." One would think such commands ) wholly unnecessary if we did not know the ( wickedness of the human heart, but God, who knows the heart, has written it Let each one ask himself, "Am I clean bofore e God in this matter?" Then how much 1 more should we hearken to Him who has of His own will begotten us with the word f of truth (Jas. i, 18), who pitieth like a fa- t thcr and comforts as a mother (Ps. clli, 18; ^ Isa. Lxvi, 18), who says, "Incline your car j and come unto me, hear and your soul shall live" (Isa. lv, 3). 23. "Buy tho truth and 6ell it not; also r-. wisdom, instruction and understanding." 8 Omitting the word "also," which is in t italics, wo learn that tho truth is these threo things, or that Jesus Christ, who is the truth, is the sum of all wisdom and . understanding. Isa. lv, 1, says we can buy 1 without money and without price. We cer- T talnly cannot in any sense give an equiva- 1 lent for what we get as we do in ordinary 1: buying and selling, but there is a giving 1 up or laying down of our own thoughts } and opinions that Ho may be our wisdom B and our righteousness. "Lay thou thy ^ treasure in the dust and the Almighty shall bo thy treasuro" (Job xxli, 24, 26, 8 R V.). \ 24. "The father of the righteous shall r greatly rejoice, and he that begotteth a j wise child shall have joy of him." Just t as with earthly parents some children are ( a great joy and some are a grout sorrow, so f among the children of God some are u joy to Him and others a grief We read of 8 Borne who "rebelled and vexed His Holy fc Spirit" (Isa. lxili, 10), and of some who i must have the flesh destroyed by satan that t the spirit may bo saved, and of some whoso c works will be burned up and they saved [ as by Are (I Cor. v, 6; iii, 15). c 25. "Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice." Thus our lesson begins and ends with the N joy of parents in wise children. We turn to Him of whom the Fahter said, "This is My Beloved Son in whom I am well v pleased," and who could truthfully say of \ Himself, "I do always those things that j please Him," and of whom it is written c that Ho never pleased illmseu (Aiatn. 111, . 17; xvil, 5; John vlll, 29; Rom. xv, 3), and we say, ''Lord, make me as far as pes- c Bible such a child to the Father as thou a wast" If He sees that wo mean it, Ho 1 will take us in hand to subdue the self life '] and make manifest in us His own life, for j. He is able to subdue all things unto Himself (II Cor. iv, 11; Phil, iii, 21). We , must bo willing, and He will surely do it r s 16?" The Bible tells us of the streams <j that it may allure us to the fountain ; 1 it tells of the past acts of God's faithful love that we may be led to set our t hope on God, and feel that He who t hath helped and loved will help and g love unto the end. o |arm and Jiwide. DRINK WATER. There are very few people who ap jreciate the importance of drinkinj vater. Many persons merely drinl vater to satisfy thirst; they thinl hat is all that is necessary, and a here is a large number of people wh< ?re very little for water, they fail t< nake water drinking a habit. On< rouble is that people don't drinl vater enough to properly thin th< >lood?secretions and excretions?s< hat the system can be cleaned of it vornout matter speedily. We had j riend whose health failed ; she begai elling her symptoms?unpleasant feel ftKaiif tbo Kon/1 rvolnifofiAn aT tVl( "6 ? ? ?" learl, numbness of limbs, and mani ither distressing feelings, when the loctor stopped her and said :. "Hov nucli water do you drink during tbi lay ?" She replied that she seldon sver cared for water?sometimes sh< Irank a glass at her dinner, but no iften. His prescription was to drinl it least half a gallon of water durinj he day, until she found the action o be heart better and other symptom elieved, then she could decrease thi juantity. But he said every om hould drink over a quart of wate laily, at different times. Anothe :elebrated physician, when asked a o bis opinion of the efficacy of somi 10ted springs, said the only goo( lerived from them was the quantit; if water people felt called on to drinl uhan th?u aanf, tr? nilp.h nlftC.es.

The humai >ody needs washing out; as a healtl ournal expresses it: "The long con inued retention of secretions tha >ught to be thrown off, is the caus >f such diseases as rheumatism, ca arrh, etc. They affect the heart b; hickening the blood, making it hard it for the heart to do its work. "Again the use of water, in its ful lormal quantity, washes out the ali neniary canal, keeps the stomach an< >owels sweet and clean, and has th< :ffect of an inside bath." So we se bis habit of drinking water is a ven ;ood one, one that we should cultivat md attach much more importance t< ban we do. Keep the Boys on the Farm. Ve will venture to assert that if eacl >oy is given a flock of fowls, if onh Bantams, and he alone have the man igement, and the receipts?a very ira )ortant adjunct?the flock of fowl vill cause the boy to take an interes n farming from the start.

Whei me becomes interested in poultry 01 he farm, he becomes educated to ai merest in everything else. As sooi is your boy can manage them, giv< lim a few Bantams, and after he ii dder start him with some pure breec >f standard size. It is the best plai or teaching the boy to remain 01 u ? iic laiiu. A Good Road Is a Money-Saver. The best argument for road improve nent is the argument of economy good road is a money-saver. Move nent is retarded more or less bj riction. Reduce the friction and th< :ost of movement is reduced. Multi >ly the cost of moving a loaded wagoi >n a bad road by the number of wag >ns so moved in the United States an( he result will appear in the terms o >illions of dollars. Were every coun ry roud in the land as smooth as thi lest roads, there can be no doubt tha he saving in the cost of locomotioi vould amount to avast sum of monei :ach year. The agricultural depart nent has figured out the average gen tral cost per ton of trausportatioi rom farm to market to be $3.02, an< he annual total cost of farm hauling o he $946,500,000,000. Probably thji s largely guess work, but that th< :ost, whateyer it is, may be reducet [iiite one-half by makiug the roac urfaces smooth and firm is a cer aiuty. Length of a Horse's Head.?I 3 probable that at first thought mos >ersoDS would be inclined to doub he accuracy of the old saying that i lorse's head is as long as a floui >arrel. Flour barrels vary somewha n length. Some are made stoute ind shorter, some slender and a litth ligher. Au average flour barrel ii ibout 29 inches in height. A man t< vhom the old saying was fumiliai nade up his mind to see for him9el ust how near right it was and h< neasured the heads of three horses )ne of these horses was said to havei ather large head for its size; it wasu' l very big horse. The horse's head ixclusive of the ears, measured 2{ nches in length. The heads of tin wo other horses, which were horse: if fair average size, with averagi leads, measured, one 27 inches. th< ?ther 27J inches. So that this inves igator discovered that the old sayinf vas substantially true. Sleeplessness.?A Sweedish ser 'ant-maid, finding that her mistresi vas troubled with sleeplessness, tol( ler of a practice of the people of hei lountry who were similarly afHicted t was to take a napkin, dip it in ice :old water, wring it slightly and lay ii icross her eyes.

Being one of the cleanest, ?U nost enterprising and reliable newspapers in jai he state, it is natural, therefore, that THE |-J, rORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be ne of the most popular. Ninety per cent, of DU he families Jn the county desire It as a regu-? ir visitor to their homes, and all those who or 1 an afford it, may reasonably be looked upon s probable subscribers. One of the most seious drawbacks, probably, is the inconvenence of writing letters, sending money and gu ttending to the matter of subscribing at the TO iroper time. It is this fact that makes it es- eh lecfally desirable for us, Just at this time, to net ecure the services of a large number of Intel- on( Igent and energetic assistants, and to make It rorth their while to give the matter their IIKAMI AffhN. ill^niiun, we tUC jiiumu^ biic uucmi vuvio rhich we will presently explain. qTT The price of a single subscription one year S.Vi s TWO DOLLARS. This is to the Individual ?(? rho does not give his name to a clubmaker; ut sends It direct to this office. In clubs, lowever, the price Is only ONE DOLLAR LND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the wo rice which the subscriber pays the clubmaker, nd the price which, under all circumstances, le lsexpiected to pay us. Now to our propoltlons: |D THREE BIG PREMIUMS. 4 This year we offer three big premiums. One ""t b a SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR BUGGY, mother Is a SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR ORJAN. and the third Is a FIFTY DOLLAR qlT VAGON. The Buggy will go to the clubmaker J rho gets up the largest list of subscribers, new ,nd old. The Wagon will go to the clubmaker rho gets up the second largest list, new and < Id; and the Organ will go to the clubmaker E hose total list shall show up the largest umber of NEW NAMES. The organ contest, T lowever, will be separate and distinct lrom W1 he other contest, In that the winner of this tbe remlum will still have the right to count his W< ntlre club, including both old and new C6I lames, in the contest for the Buggy or Wagon. ?x] Y> be more explicit. It is possible that the he! lubmaker who gets the Organ, may also be c?1 he winner of either the Wagon or the Buggy. sh< t Is also possible that the Organ may be won vlth less than 20 names, together with one f the smaller premiums. FULL PREMIUM LIST, g] But this Is not all. In addition to the pre- chi nlums offered for the LARGEST AND SEC- no' )ND LARGEST CLUBS, and the largest club ho if NEW SUBSCRIBERS, we also offer other th( aluable premiums for a given number of sub- be crlbers. This, it will be seen, ensures that the rec tnhmiiker who starts out for one of the larger E iubs and fails short, will not fall to be paid na or his time and trouble. Here Is the list In BE till, followed by the conditions below : nc $75.00 BUGGY. t tec To the clubmaker who returns the lanrest oui lumber of names, will be awarded the BEST 1UGGY manufactured by the Carolina Buoiy Company of Yorkville, S.
