There has been less farm work in.
(1:m)e up to this time than for In
in m v years past. Everybo-ly is
getting imjpatint, owing. to the
opeU spring weather. There has
been little gardening done so far, n<
owing to the ground being too ia
wet to pl ugh. Vegetation is. be
springing up very rapidly, which 1i
adds to our impatience, but it *
may be a' for the be-t in the
long run. We should be thank
fil, with all of our drawbacks, Pr
that we are much better off than In
our western neighbors who are gc
thieatened with an inundation on
the Mississippi river and its
tribufaries, who may possibly to
lose thetr homes and stock and be
reduced to e. reme went. ix
Small grain is looking very m
well at this time. There are W
good stands of the last sowing. Iw
some are going to sow yet n st
strong bottom land. Yk
Mrs. L. C. Gibson, Mrs. J. L.
Cainithen and Mr. Otis Cauthen
paid a visit to Coluibia last
week to spend a few days with
relatives.
Mr. J. A. Hendrix, formerly of
this county, died in Columbia last
week and was buried at Pine N
Grove church in this county. He W
was the last representative of the tO
male members of an old and time- V
honored family. He was a mem
ber of Capt. Davis' company, 12th a
regiment, during the civil war, tb
and made a gallant soldier. The ev
annour cement of his death in The fo
State was very misleading as they st
got his name mixed up with an- en
other family of the same name do
who lived and done business in
the city some years :ago. His
death and burial was not known
in this section where he had a
number of relatives and friends c
who would have attended the '
last sad rites at the grave. th
We are sorry to learn of the m
illness of our editor. Hope he in

e advi.e was sound, and it need
t be stretched thin to cover a much
ger region of 'life than that which
ogs to m-t. The quick. instinctive

ncelves in the first hour of her ac

mnded or It may be ill founded. If It
tifles itself, she remembers it and
ides herself on her knowledge of hu

n point of fact, the power of sus
iding judgment on book, picture,

Al trained mind. The judgments

An Artist's Training.
Rosa Bonheur used to say that her
youth was one of great poverty; then
she would add some droll stort'est about
the family method of regulating Its
tlnance. The studio was a collection of
odds and ends. and M. Bouheur knew
how to turn that disorder to account.
When he received money for his
work, he would take a handful of coin
and throw ;t at random about the room.
'Then in times of stress, when there
was apparently not a farthing left in
the house, the entire family would iet
to work searching in nooks and corners.
Sonjetimes they would find a five franc
piece, and that warded off starvation.
To perfect herself in her study of ani
mas young Rosa spent days in a slaugh
ter house. The men were perplexed at
seeing a young woman there and some
times made it disagreeable for her, but
good M. Emile, a butcher of great
strength, announced that whosoever an
noyed her would have to reckons with
him. Then she was able to work un
disturbed.
Baccarat.
Baccarat is a very simple game. The
dealer and each side of the table have
two or three cards. The object is to
get as near nine as possible, and tens.
and court cards do not count. If the
two first cards dealt do not together
amount to five, the player asks for an
other. If above five, he does not. The
sole question in doubt Is whether a
player whose two cards together make
five ought to draw a third card or not.
Because of this doubt it has been ruled
by French courts that baccarat is not a
game of chance, andjyet It is a niathe
matical certainty that either th'e
chances of bettering the hand are im
proed by drawing a third card or di
minished. Considering, therefore, the
large sums that are risked at this gamne,
it is somewhat curious that no one has
ever taken the trouble to work out the
probabilities.
A Narrow Escape.
An actor named Suett having offend
ed another actor, the aggrieved party
was determined on revenge and there
fore wvalted at the theater door to pun
ish him.
The night was extremely wet and
dark, and as the actors passed, most of
whom were mufled Ain their cloaks, the
enraged man was obliged to inquire of
each of them lest he should cudgel the
wrong one.
At length Suett arrived.
Rushing In. wrapped in his cloak and
drenched with rai, he was addressed
with the usual query:.
"Are you Suett?"
"No" replied he; "I'm dripping," and
so passed safely into the theater.

convincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many - times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$1. sizes.

Father-I read of a terrible
thing today that occurred up in
West Virginia. Three black
bears came suddenly out of the
woods upon some children at
play, and the children, in their
fright, ran home and left theii
little 2-year-old sister, and
before the parents could come to
to the rescue the hears had-liter
ally torn the child's head from
its body and were devouring it.
Mother-That's horrible. I
suppose Mr. Roosevelt went
down there at once.

ma! Was it a nigger baby?

For a long time the two-year-old child
of Mr. P. L. McPherson, 59 N. Tenth
St., Harrisb'urg, Pa., would sleep but esti
two or three hourn, in the early pert of the
the night, which made it very hard for the
the parents. Her mother concluded the
that the child had stomach trouble, l0ac
and gave her half of one of Chamber- ma:
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, .Thi
which quieted her stomach and she KoC
slept the whole night through. Two out
boxes of these Tablets have effected a the
permanent cure and she is now well 1100
