Pickens Setia1-JouruI kfapoenings of a Local and Personai Nature. 4, Dr. W. J. Bolt, of Pickens, i attepding the Anderson County Fair this week. David Stansell, who has been clerking for Freeman & Co., is <iite sick at his home in Pick ens. W, T. Jeans, engineer of the Pickens Railroad, has recently returned from a visit to rela tives at Belton and Anderson. Bivins & Co., Holder & Co. and the Oil Mill are all buying seed. Better coipe to town and try the market Wore disposing of your seed. Major J. M. Stewart, of Pick ens, who has been quite sick for some time past, is able to be up and out again, to the delight of his many friends. The Sentinel-Journal visits nearly every home in Pickens county, as our subscription list will show. In order to reach these people plant 6n advertise ment in its columns. Mrs. I. M. Mauldin, of this city, spent Monday in Green ville on a shopping expedition. If the merchants of Greenville patronized this paper more lib erally they would get a larger show of the Pickens county trade. We direct especial attention to the advertisement of Mr. T. D. Harris, who has received one of the finest lots of clothing ever brought to Pickens. These are none of your shoddy "hand 'em-down" goods, but every garment is custom-made from one of the leading tailoring es tablishments in America. Monday night Oliver, the lit )f.Dr. J. L. Bolt, was ac Ily scalled by his brother and painfully, though not seriously injured. It that they had some pea ien a friendly scuffle en sued. Henry stuck at Oliver with his coat, which hit a pot of boiling hot soup on the ktove, overturning the same on Oliver. Necessary remedies were imme diately applied, and the little sufferer is doing as well as could be expected. Mr. Larry Gantt says he last fall bought one of the Tongue les Disc Harrows, this week ad vertised by the Pickens Hard ware Co.. and he considers it one of the most valuable tools a, far mer can own. Mr. Gantt ran this harrow over about half a rough and cloddy piece of swamp land he had broken up with a two-horse plow, and it was thoroughly pulverized. When the corn matured, the harrowed land produced more than twice as much corn per acre as the section of the same field not so treated. This tongueless harrow does not fret or rub your stock, and it can be used in corners and and other spots that the old-style harrow cannot reach. Mr. Gantt is satisfied that his Tongueless Disc Harrow paid for itself sev eral times over the first year. Every two-horse farmer should own one, as also a Middle- Bus ter Plow. Rev. N. G. Ballinger filled his appointment at the Pickens Methodist church last Sunday morning, and preached an ex cellent sermon. The member ship of the church feel most kindly toward Mr. Ballinger, and it is their good hope and desire that he will put no blocks --.in the way of conference send 'ing him back to this charge for another year. Rev. Ballinger has done a great work since he has been on the Pick~ens circuit and has endeared hiniself to all the people, not only of his own, but of other denominations, who wish for and would be delighted to see him returned. It is a pity that the Methodists of Pickens cannot see .their way clear to make this a station and extend to him an indefiniie call to sup ply it. We hope those who instrumnental in his b here by conference v, e even more active aim returned. He is ian in the right place Wanted, & lot -of eanuts. HIhest price paid for same. D. F. ace. Pickens boasts a genial and efficient set of county officers, and their affable and pleasing manner impress strangers. The editor will begin his rounds of collecting next week, so be prepared to rfleet hin with a smile and some money. For a limited time a nice se lection of good dishes will be sold by us at a remarkably low figure. CRArG BROS. The Sentinel-Journal requests its country friends to send this this paper, each week, all the news from their respective local ities. " Zeke" says that Forest City, N. C., on last Monday, pulled off one of the finest street fairs he ever attended, and he has been to a great many. There is a good sprinkling'of cotton yet in the fields, but the crop will be short. The impres sion is that pryces will advance after fertilizer notes mature. Mrs. W. T. Jeans made a shopping expedition to Green ville last week and purchased a tailor-made suit and Gage model hat from the J. Thos. Arnold Co., of that city. Married, on the 11th inst., at the residence of H. J. Lewis, the officiating magistrate, A. G. Henderson, of Anderson county, and Miss Mattie Davis, of Pick kens county. Their many friends wish them a lohg and happy life. The J. Thomas Arnold Co., of Greenville; ought to feel proud of the trade they got from this county. Some people of our town and county will not buy shoes, dry goods or millinery anywhere else. Several Pickens people have recently been there to buy their fall and winter goods. Mr. James Carey, one of the brightest young lawyers in th is Piedmont section, noted for its talent, has been appointed U. S. Commissioner by Judge Braw ley, witb headquarters in this city. This is quite a compl ment to our. young friend, but well merited. The Board of Health requests the people of Pickens to clean up their premises at the earliest possible moment and to disin fect same. The city couicil has a lot of disinfectant and will give a quantity to any one call ing on them for it. Heed this notice an~1 save a case of ty phoid fever. The disinfecting fluid is absolutely free. We are now having delight ful Indian Summer weather and farmers are availing themsolves of it to finish gathering crops. All the gins are running to their utmost capacity. In a short drive out into the country we notice some fields from which it appears scarcely a lock had been gathered. We may soon look for severe weather, and it will be wise to gather the staple be fore It sets in. W. A. Gresham, jr., the two. year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Gresham, of Atlanta, died on the night of the 12th instant, after a few days' illness. Its grandmother, Mrs. M. F. Hes ter, was with it when the end came, as was Miss Ina Boggs, also of Pickens. The remains reached Pickens Tuesday even ing and were interred at Secona on Wednesday mnorning. The many friends in our town and county of the bereaved parents extend their sincere sympathies in~ their affliction. Now is a mighty good time to prepare to fence up your place and to use wire for that pur pose. The "Pittsburg Perfect,' sold by J. A. Peek, 'of Pickens, cannot be beat. It is the only perfect fence made. He has it in all the sizes and varieties. Read his ad. every week, for it is always new. This week he offers two styles of ranges at remarkably low prices. They are standard make of ranges, in fact are the Iyest goods made. He has thrown profit to the winds and wvill sell 12 'of these ranges for' $24.95 and $28.45 and give you, free, a $2 wagon umn brella.

I have been a farmer for 80 U years. but never joined any club. I told the Alliance 18 years ago they would make bad matters worse. They went on, and in my estimation brought cot. ton down from 9 to 5 cents per pound. That played out, and cotton went to 12 1-2 and 15 cpats. Now the Farmers' Union comes, and coiton is down to 9c again. Holding cotton is not the thing it is cracked up to be. Let some sell; if Jo some want to hold, that's all right. That lets the cotton on the market by degrees. But when all club together y and say all hoL together, that won't do. It has to come to markct some time, and if you hold another year. then there would be two cr(ops together. That would make it still cheaper. Sell cot ton as you get it, out of the patch is my mottn. We can't have things o~ir way T nohow, and better for us to do bad thah worse So I will close by s-tying Old Uncle 8..m is a fine old mau He tiavela tht'odgh the timber; He drawed his bow to shoot that crow And killed the cat in the wirdow. Now, people are owing me and hold ing their cotton at my expense. While it isn't much I expect out of it, still I would like to have some. Now this is old J. D. MOORE. Tax Notice.
