Sam Bradford and Richard Tisdale, will be ordained at Bethel Church next Saturday forenoon. Amoog the families that will receive a part of the French Spoilation Claims (if those claims are ever paid) is that of Mr. J. 6. Tis? dale, of Privateer. McD. F. Shiloh Letter. SHILOH, S. C., March 2, '95. Editor Watchman and Southron : The few d ay s of fair and pleasant (old uncle Ned says ''workable") weather has thrown the mantle cf encouragement around some of our depress? ed farmers and caused them to rally around the plow. The oat crop now, as we see it, is off 50 per cent, of a certainty, if not more. Some of onr farmers, although supplied with oat seed wiil not plant Ulis season, as they say it is ! too late. Later on they would very likely he rained by the May drouth, aod grass and weeds, unless very highly fertilized. The ! ground bas dried off very rapidly. Mr. Boyce Truluck bas the neatest log \ tobacco barn in the country. He is also one of the neatest farmers in the county. Mr. W. J. Keels bas moved back to the old homestead, and is near us again, we are pleased to say. Mr. James L. Keels, his brother, has moved to Mr. J. D. Friersoo's place, where be will farm this year. Mr. Frierson, above mentiooed, is in Florida moved there about two years ago. He is now anxious to return to this State on account of losses sustained by the late disastrous freeze. .People here who have relatives in Florida, re? ceive gloomy accounts from thereof late. Mr. J Henry Dennis (son of Mr. J. Alex. Dennis) j went to Florida with his family, and wrote home that ne was getting ready to return in ten days after he got there, so scarce was ! employment and money. He is now safely ? back. So many tobacco barns have been reared aronod here recen t'.y, that we are tempted to cali this section "TobaccoTown." ia a village not very remote is a negro lad just crawling ont of bis "teens," who con? templates preaching in the near future, and employs his leisure time in "searching the scripture" preparatory to entering his chosen profession. The family who bas this youth employed (we will call bim Jerry "for short" ) as a yard servant, noticed sometime ago that be seemed absorbed in deep study and disin? clined to bis usual cheerful manner, while performing different chores around the premises. So while Jerry was shoveling the snow from the door-steps, during the late freeze, Mrs. A. says, Jerry, why are you so sulky of late? (J.) Notbin' ma'am, only I'm thinking, and "wish <o ask a question and see if anybody can answer it. (Mrs. A.) All right, ask your question. (J.) Well Miss wb& t's the reason no nigger Jews ever come to this country? (Mrs. A.) Why Jerry there are no such creatures.as-Negro Jews; where did yon get the idea? (J.j Why ma'am, I got my 'tbority troca the Bible and I believe everything in it. It says bow Christ had a talk with Nigger-demus, who is a big man among the Jews, and lean show it right in the Bible. (Mrs. A.) Well, well, Jerry ! You may have a call yet. (J.) May be so ma'am, but who'll call? (Mrs. A.) Barnum! The above is no manufactured story, but really did occur, recently. OCCASIONAL. What the Old and Young Folks of Salem are Doing. SARDINIA, S. C., Feb. 28 '95. The Daily Item: The great snow having melted away, business here bas resumed its normal condition, and al? though our little town is yet an infant mun ici pa li ty, for one to see the number of loads of fertilizers, goods, &c., being daily received and hauled away from oar depot, the hurry and bustle of mer? chants and clerks, he would compare it very favorably with cities like Sumter or Manning. The farmers here are very mach in? terested in tobacco growing; those who planted it last year as an experiment are highly delighted with their success, and have doubled their crop io it for this year. Bright yellows, mahogany wrappers, and dark fillers are the leading subjects of discussion among the farmers. There will be about 250 acres plaoted within a few miles of town, and I feel safe in pre? dicting 800 or 1000 acres to be grown in this County. The merchants here are agitating the building of a tobacco ware? house, as they can't afford to allow Sumter and Darlington to draw trade ! from their very door steps because we have not the conveniences for market- ! ing their produce. We will have it, too, as our merchants never undertake an ! enterprise of this kind without carrying ? it through. But in case we should fail, we would be glad to have one even as fer as Sumter, as it is very inconve nient for tbe farmer to haul his tobac co 40 or 50 mile3 to Darlington or Flor- j ence while Sumter is only 20 miles away a?d oan just as easily offer them this advantage. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Garland enter-1 tained a few friends in a very royal manner on last Friday evening, in hon? or of Miss Maude Garland of Monroe N. C. The guests commenced to arrive at 8 30 o'clock and by 9 o0 o'clock the parlors and sitting-room were crowded to the utmost with the chivalrous elite of old Salem. At ll o'clock the doors of the dining room were thrown open and refresh? ments served in such a manner as to tempt the most fastidious. Truly has it been said that "We can live without poetry, music and art, We can live without friends and live with? out heart, We can live without lore and live without books. Bat civilized man cannot live without cooks." After the delicacies had been dealt with to the fratitsfactioo of all preseot, the tables chairs, ?fee, were cleared away aod thc flour turned over to the ! lovers of Terpsicore who gilded aud marched the merry German until the shrill clarion of the night announced the approach of another day. The following io very appropriated evening toilettes were amoog those pre sent : * Mr. and Mra. H. J. Wheeler, Mr and Mrs. J. E. Cousar, Mr. aod Mrs. D. R. DuBo&e, Misses Cooper, Maggie, Virginia and Lily DuRant, of A Icol u, S. C., M?68 Maude Garland, of Marion, N.

Chas. Richardson, S. E. McFaddeo, Jos. S. DuRant, John Shaw, Powell. Warren DuRant, Willie Epps, Robbie Pierson, Willie Burgess, Geo. McFadden, Scott Borgess, Clyde Garland, H. McFadden, and Marion Powell. The German was led by Mr. S. E. McFadden with Miss Maude Garland, of Marion, N. C. XXX. Congress Adjourns. ? WASHINGTON, March 4--The Fifty third Congress came to ao eod to-day with the usual interesting incidents. In the Senate, the closing scene was marked with the dignity which char? acterizes that body on formal occasions of state in the presence of as many spectators as could possibly crowd into the galleries. Hundreds and hundred? of others were disappointed io their endeavors to witness the end, and were obliged to content themselves with standing in line outside the entrances to the galleries. That the House is actually, as well as constitutionally, the popular branch of the legislature, was amply proved by the flattering at? tendance of spectators. Those who failed to find seats there wandered over to the Senate, only to be again disap? pointed, and the philosophers all coo tented themselves with attending the session of the Supreme Court. A hearty cheer from a hundred numbers, marked the closing scene in the House, &3 Speaker Crisp with a sharp rap of his gavel declared the Fifty third Congress to an end. The strain of the past few days was over, and the tired members celebrated their release from offioial duty with bands and feet and lungs. It was an interesting scene and the hundreds of people in the crowded galleries enjoyed it to the fullest. A theatrical manage? ment would have been flattered at the attendance. As early as 7 o'clock spec? tators began to appear, and it is wor? thy of remark that the first comers were women. By 9 o'clock the galleries were comfortably filled ; at 10 the last had been taken and fiften miuutes later people were thronging the corri? dors outside the gallery doors in the hope that they might have the oppor? tunity of seeing the Democratic House pass into history. The members on the floor made merry as the clock's haods moved on rapidly towards the hour of ! adjournment. The great majority who were not coming back to the sessions of the Fifty-fourth Congress, passed amoog their fortuoate aod uofortuoate colleagues, saying good-byes. Little groups gathered here aod there aod ex? pressed their relief that the agony was over in telling stories and explaining what they intended to do as private citizens. It was a noisy, good-natured throng. Persons troubled with the difficulties of French pronunciation may now buy a phonograph cylinder containing test words and phrases done with the most beautiful accent. The Hotel fever is beginning to strike Atlanta. A number of practical peo? ple are figuring on structures of all sorts and sizes, from an eight-story granite hotel to the cheapest temporary structures. Parties from the outside are showing interest in the problem, and it is believed that a great building era is on Atlanta. The architects have more than they can do, and a number of residences are ready to be let to con? tractors for construction. "Perhaps you would not think so, but a very large proportion of diseases fn New York come from carelessness about catcbicg cold," says Dr. Cyrus Edson. "It is 3uch a simple thicg and so common that very few people, unless it is a case of pneumonia, pay any attention to a cold. There are a great many cases of catarrh and consumption which have their origin in this neglect of the simplest precaution of every day life. The mo9t sensible advice is, when you have one, get rid of it as soon as possible. 3y all means do not neglect it." Dr. Edson does j not teli you how to cure a cold but we will, j Take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It will j relieve the lungs, aid expectoration, opeu the j secretions and soon effect a permanent cure. 25 and 50 cents bottles for sale by Dr. A. | J. China. A Household Treasure. D. W.
