the seven. The great falle made deeper impression on me than anything 1 saw on the entire trip. From Niagara we went on to Toronto, Canada, crossing the Niagara river on one of the magmfieient suspension bridges that span the river above the falls. Wo passed by the monument thai marks the grave of Maj. Isaac Brock who was killed in the War of 1812. Toronto is a wonderful city of two hundred thousand inhabitants. There are more churches there than any city of its size I have ever seen. The Chinch of England is by far the strongest of them all. Toronto is noted for its institntinna r?f k learning. Some thirty colleges W and collegiate institutes are located there. 1 had the pleasure of meeting a number of distinguished men, among them that 1 now remem ber are Dr. Hall and Chief .Jus tiee McLaren of the supreme court.. 1 was shown through Osgood Hall, where the different courts are held. They have all the state reports in the library. I of course looked at the S. U. reports. There were fully three thousand delegates at the convention. It was indeed a notable gathering 01 representative men and women. At the Metropolitan church I saw au organ which is played both in front and in the rear. i Some of the delegates, for lack of . a better name, called it an echo organ. I was struck with the clearness of the tone and the reverberations. From Toronto, we went by boat down the St. Lawrence river to Montreal. Before we got to Montreal, we passed the great rapids in t ' ? * u ino ui. i<?wroin;e iorgec me name.) Montreal is a city of about three hundred and fifty thousand inhabitants. It is a Catholic city largely and is noted for the number of beautiful cathedrals that adorn the city. On the top of one of them they have bronze figures of the twelve Apostles. We went from there to Quebec which is quite a quaint city. The place of most interest to us was the "plains^ of Abraham" just out side of the city limits, where General Wolfe was killed and General Montcalm was mortally wounded. A granite monument marks the spot where Wolfe gave up his life in fighting the battles of his country. The hill which Wolfe and his men ascended in reaching the Plains from the river is very steep and is seventyfive or a hundred feet high. It Vpoks like it is an impossibility 4 to climb it. Returning to Quebec we went over the "old town" which was built right along the brink of the river. The streets of old Quebec re very narrow and dirty. We passed through a street leading from the river up the hill to what is now the principal city and ^ saw some children playing in the narrow street?ten feet wide? and we asked them the name of i the stree^ They told us it was UcallecbSous-le-Oap. As this name suggests, Quebec is decidedly a French eifcv. So far an I know if is the only walled city on the ^ continent. A Bronze kiblet on the steep bank of the river marks the sight where General Montgomery of the United States was killed in leading an attack on the English in the War of 1812. Before returning from Quebec visited the Falls of Montmorenci. They are much higher than Niagara, but only a small T~* , Foolish Woman Burns Fifteen Thousand Dollars Because She Believed Her Husband wanted her Money. Chicago, Nov. 18?Mrs. G'-iarlotle M. Weight man, who recent ly brought suit against her litis band lor separate maintenance, told Judge Brentano (luring tiie hearing of the case tiiut. she believed her husband had married her for money, and that she theivloro threw the money ami securities, valued at $15,000, into the stove and watched them bu'n. She afterwards leli, her husband and when she sought reconcilia tion she was told not, to enter the house again. A decree giving the woman $2S a month was given Monroe's New Hundred Thousand Dollar Cotton Mill Assured. Monroe is to have a new cotton mil', a spinning mill with five thousand spindles and a capacity of six thousand bales of cotton per year. Ttie name of the mill is "Icemorlee," uamrd in honor of Messrs. Charles Iceman, of McUoll, S. C., R. A. Morrow and W. S. Lee, of Monroe, these gentlemen being the prime movers and large stockholders in the new enterprise. The mill will be located on Mr. W. IT. Phifer's land northwest of town.

The capital stock is one hundred and ten thousand dollars. The stockholders meet sometime the first of next week to elect officers.?Monroe Enquirer. Constables Back in Union. Governor Hey ward today, after receiving a number of reports from Union county, decided to order the constables back in that county. This action is taken be cause of the belief that the dispensary law is not being enforc ed since that county voted out the dispensary. The policy of Governor Ileyward was announced several months ago in The Record. As soon as a county votes out the dispensary the constabulary is withdrawn and the couuty and town officials are given an opportunity to enforce the law. If it is found that the law is not being enforced the constabulary is sent back. This has been done in several counties.? Columbia Record. A bee, carrying no burden, Vl/ill fl IT of ho ?

Look at (he disposition ol a 1 stallion as well as at his lorm, size, ped gree, etc. Load the team according to i iheir strength and use the whip as , little as possible. 1 Colls that are led high and grow fast, need more exercise than those whose rations are limited. The frog in a horse's foot should touch the earth at every step; ii is constructed for that purpose. Feed tor strength ami muscle rather than fat. Surplus tl ?sli is a hindrance to a horse that has to , work. Do not expect a young horse that is taking his first lesson in work to do as much as a horse well accustomed to it. In selecting tor breeding, it is well to remember that a horse cannot transmit what he does not himself possess. The market will be overstocked with cheap horses as long as farmers patronize stallious because their service fee is low. Good strong mares can rai6u a good colt each year and still do about as much farm work as geldings. It is easy to figure that they are more profitable. mere is a loss ot available income in raising any kind ot stock which is devoid of good quality, but this is especially true ol horses. In nearly all cases the commu nity that raises good draft or carriage horses will be found prosperousand progressive. A farm may be made much better by tarming it with teams that are able to cultivate the crop in the best possible manner. The more gentle and quiet you can keep colts from the time they are foaled up to the time they are old enough to work, the better for them and for you. nino i.~ ~ - i- - ' * uno mo iiinroH pieiuy 01 limn to eat their meals. It is poor economy to take a horse from the stable before he has had time to finish his meals. If you want horses that will be ready sale at good prices, breed the best of whatever strain you fancy. There are always buyers for good draft or carriage horses. By breeding your grade draft fillies to the same type of stallion as their sire, in a short time you will have a number of brood mares uniform in size, contour, disposi* tion and color. Both parents should be selected so that the points of one may be adapted to points of the other; for although both may approach per fection individually, the points which characterize the one may actually counteract the other. One advantage, at least, on the (arm, with the tall colt, is that as the mare need not be worked hard during the winter she can better suckle her colt while there is more time for handling the colt.

Yours, with Honest (Joe Fund* Notice To the overseers of tlie Public K<?ads of Lancaster County. I again ask you all to warn out your hands anil work each of your sections of t he public mails, as many days as the law requires r until you get your roa?l in good condition. I want to tind that each section of road in the county is worked good between this and the lad day of Aoveuiber.

The grand jury held a meeting on the tir? t Monday in September last and irquested me to give :iotice to all of the overseers to put four days' work on each section of road by the lirst Monday in Oct. and for each of you to make a report to me that day And I did so, hut many of you failed to work or to make any report. So I kindly ask you all to read the report of the grand jury at the last term of the court. You will see by that report that they want to have the roads worked better than they have ever been in the past, or have the law enforced against anv one who fails to discharge his duty. Let every one do his duty, and the law will not be enforced agailist any one. but otherwise, they say it must be done, 'i ake due notice therefore and govern yourself accordingly. RcspectfuWy, M . C.
