15-- THE OLD FOKT. A Good Let tor From Xlnoty-Six. Ninety-Six, S. C\, Nov. lt>, l.sitt!. - No communications to the Press anil 15an- , ner from this place, one would imagine that things must be very quiet* down here. But , not so. More cotton is being sold here than ' for tnany years, aud our streets show more life, and business comes more like a rush, j Lands are higher, and more horses aud mules sold here than ever before. Car loads are auctioned oft' with the greatest case at fancy prices. The truth is, we have the best cotton market anywhere in the country, and farmers are learning that to take it all the time | they realize more by selling their cotton We have always had the best school In the ' up-country, and this year Is no exception to the rule. Our school is booming and full of H pUfilo* HP Judging from tbe demand lor seed oats, Hi more oats will be sown this year than for sevflS eral years past. We need a few roller mills in 531 the country and our people will go to raising H wheat again. Could our oil mills through the Summer, while the nulls are closed, not . H build small mills near their machinery and ??fi 11 this demand ? Hf Our people have full cribs of corn and a i great many hogs to kill for meat. i Truly we are on the road to prosperity again. It Is to be hoped that our people will i cot again eive up everything else for cotton, Just because a fair price was realized for t he , staple this year. We must grow all the crops , V If we want a good country aul a prosperous , | and happy people. Many of our good people are anxiously in T quIrlDg after tbe township railroad tax. If | Sfi that tax comes down upon us (and we dread H- to hear the decision) our people wilj want no I Mr- Bobeme for placing any other burden of taxa-1! lion upon their shoulder. y I forgot to state at the proper place that the 1 p- bay crop from pea vines was very fine this j year, but not quite so large as some years, i Peas are very scarce. Turnips and potatoes ; < are very good. t nm -r?p?tonrtpil tn mpiit.lnn politics in [ this letter, bu^afTrkc fair is just over and : , K, seemed to have been a success, I would like f ]Hp to know your views, Mr. Editor, aud the j ( |SRp; views of our farming people on this question. Should the Legislature vote an appropriation K. K-to the Stale Fnir? What 6ay you, Mr. Edi- 1 2? fei.

The Editor quotes his diction-1 ury as saying that testimonial: "A writing, or certificate." The editor's head "must have been badly j rattled" as be he read that definition, or be ! was using a "back date" dictionary. The Standard Dictionary, the latest pub- j iinnu^Rtlcined authority, gives the following us Its first definition of testl-[' roonlal: "A formal and tangible token of regard, often presented In public, and seivlng to show recoanition ol worth or appreciation : of services." This defluition exactly covcr the case in 1 hand.

One night in attempting to feed a liorse I threw down from the hay-loft i bundle of hay, expecting of course, :hat it would reach the horse and add :o his supper. Next morning on going :o the barn, I discovered that he liadn't eaten a mouthful. It was not [hat the horse did not want it, but the difficulty was he could not get it. The tiay had stopped half way in the feed l:ox and remained there. His halter strap was long enough to allow him to reach within four niches of the hay. The trouble was not with tiie norse, u was with the man who tried to feed him. He placed his food too high. One of the chiet things to learn in attempting to reach or preach to people is the law of adaptability, the law of getting down to the level of your hearer, aud getting down so far that he shall be able to understand you and assimilate that which you give him. Dr. Stalker, in his "Preacher and his Models," refers to a minister who succeeded a very able man in his parish. The new minister in conference with some of his members sought to find out the impression he was making upon the people, aud the answer was : '"We liked our former minister very much. He was an able and very good man, but he made a very great mistake in his preaching; he looked us all to be seminary garduates, instead of being the common people that we are, and because of this his ministry was not a great success." It is related of a bishop, who preached among lowly people for a few weeks, that in conversation with one of his hearers he was taken aback at this sentiments: "Our folks like you very much, bishop, because you are so very common." But indeed, the remark was one of the greatest complimeuts any man ever received. Evil Literature. The iucrease of juvenile crime and of suicide is something alarming to any thoughtful citizens. But it is not to be wondered at when so many households of the country receive with their moruing supplies a copy of some "illustrated" daily journal, the contents of which are frequently not one whit better than the "penny dreadful" which boys were once taught to eschew as the very personification of evil. "There is no conviction of sin, and consequently no sense of need of the atonement I" exclaims the lecturer. How can there be, when the heads of families, who are so careful about the adulteraitiou of ttieir milk and bread, do rot have any scruples in allowing the members of their households to read the daily papers, adulterated with the poisonous combinations of senniuil frivolitv and open crime? Adopt iug the words of a great modern writer, whose son is at present the editor of the London "Times," we may say : "The literature of the day prepares the crime; the criminal commits it." True ability is shown in vigor of thought and liouest argument rather than in antagonistic manners and cut ting remarks. Christ went about doing good. Let us follow his example. No man can keep his mind alive without constant reading and thinking. FORMER DAYS. A I'Ioji for (iuoil Time*. "JIaril Times! Hard Times ! Come again no more!" We all sing it, we all hope it, but do we know what hard times are? We sing it while we eat beef steak at twenty cents a pound, oysters at lifty cent a dozeu, and three kinds of bread at the same meal; we shout it while we smoke cigars, two for a quarter; we think it while we stretch our comfortable legs /in Drntouia Piirnci before a blazing grate, with well-groomed boys and expensively clad girls around us; we shout it to our neighbors across our smooth lawns, or through our plateglass windows ; we groan it as we read our morning and evening papers, our plentiful magazines and our costly libraries; we dream of it in our soft aud springy beds while our coal-fed furnace keeps the whole house warm ; we maunder about it in our wellequipped offices, shout it through our telephones, ring the changes on it as we send telegrams and take expensive summer outings. We meet in our political, social, literary aud business conventions, and ring the changes on it while weare spending fortunes with railroads, hotels, restaurants aud places of amusement. And yet, in these days we do not kuow what hard times are ; we think we do, but we do not. The writer knows of a time within his remembrance, aud he is nopatrlach when, in one of the richest parts of one of the most favored statesin the Union, the whole town of some two thousand inhabitants possessed altogether not over $300 in money, all exchange was by barter; there was no cash payment because there was nothing to pay with. Among the best and richest families (and there were many who themselves well-to-do) beefsteak wasaoncea-week visitor; round beef was a luxury ; oysters were an unheard of dainty ; corn bread was the usual, wheat the rare food ; the cheapest nipe tobacco was a dissipation ; cold bed-rooms, scanty wood fires, woolsey and calico were in the house ; 6x8 window panes were helped out by hats, old papers and bags; a weekly paper was an extravagance, and seived families. Ten books made a good, fair library; beds were slatted or corded ; rag carpets were occasional, ingrain scarce, and Brussels a tradition ; the sole vacation was a ride to the annual picnic iu the one horse shay; nobody had time, money or heart for conventions or amusements. We men worked from 5 A. M. to 7 P. M. (the aristocrats shortened the time by two hours) and the women worked at all hours. And yet it is doubtful if there was iu those times such a universal spirit of unrest and discontent, such a concert of growling, as to day. T- It o A ;??, <> f'on urn JS It Ittll l niC n C jUObi v/uii nv afford to waste time in bewailing hard times, when times are easy on us ; and treat us far better than we deserve. A manager once said with a chuckle : "the mails have been good to our house to-day ; the first one brought an order in every letter, and the lastone brought a remittance in every letter." We all know (mayhap we are) persous who would have said : "Also, we have fallen on evil times; the first mail brought no money aud the last mail brought no trade." Let us put aside these ugly tempers of ours; look toward the sun; smile at the shadow ; all sunshine makes tbc desert; "it's a pretty world, senor;' enjoy its beauties, let us borrow nc trouble, shed light.on our neighbors; quite us like men, aud times will seem (as they are) good. chriNtiniiily ami KerlnrlauiHui. A visitor at Sea-palling, on the Norfolk coast, after examining with greal interest the splendid lifeboat lying in its own house on the beach, and the surf-boat, ready on its own carriage on the sands, inquired how many meu that little village of 4000 inhabi.auts could find for the two boa's. Thereply was, "Over thirty." "I should like to see that brave little army," said the visitor. "I'll tell you where you nlmAof Hi A Uf Imlu n F thorn nl Iuuy SCC ailliVlOb mc t? ii\/iv v? once on Sunday night," said the man to whom the words were addressed. "Go to the Primitive Methodist Chapel there." Ou Sunday the visitor went and fouud as lie had been told, and came away proud of that side-light ou village piety. In a little town, not far from the capital of EastAnglia.a lady of exalted social position, but who happened to be a Congregationalist, visited a sick girl four or five times and prayed by her side. A fortnight ago she visited the sufferer again and noticed that the mother watched the window with some anxiety during the time she stayed. Coming away the mother said : "I am obliged to ask you not to come again, for the Rector is so angry at your calling." The same ecclesiastic, when asked to attend a meeting for the Bible Society, promptly declined, on the ground that at such meetings some "little Baptist minister might stand on the platform and call him his brother." iOVft'H Sweet Work. A Loudon paper tells this touching story of Professor Heakomer. His aged father, w ho lives with him in his splendid home at Bushev, used to model in clay in his early life. He has recently taken to it again, but his sear is that soon his hands will lose their skill, and his work will show the marks of imperfection. It is his one sorrow. At night he goes to his early rest, and when he has gone his taleuted son goes into the studio, takes up his father's feeble attempts aud makes the work as beautiful as art can make it. When the old man comes down in the morning he takes the work and looks at it, and rub his hands and say : "Ha ! I can do as well as ever I did !" May we uot believe that the hands of divine love will thus make over our feeble work for God till it shall bear the hight of day and be perfect to all eternity ? If you want your life to be a success, never be found opposing the truth. The gate of heaven is closed to the man who sleeps on the cot of negligence. Jt is easy to lead a Christian life only when it is made the first business of life. By doing our work properly we will not have to perform the same labors the second time. Never let the sun go down without doing some kind aot that will make your pillow softer. Your life will uever rise any nigner than your belief. If you believe wrong you will behave wrong. Unless a man's walk corresponds with his talk, his influence for good is not likely to be great. By devoting our mind to the completion of one idea we will find that a new one naturally follows. * ONLY 1 |. . . .111 tiiat furnitur: We have an SIDEBOARDS, Dili ROCKERS, in Oak, LADIES' DESS See our Japane Don't Fail to Call We Will no \\ To give our Cui don't claim to b but we will sell y chance.
