It was the poor man's friend, y who sells furniture for cash or cred- j it, at the furniture emporium on . II Upper Main. The friend of the poor j man has not been well in sometime; in fact he has been having indigestion ever since Mrs. Kerr left for the I summer, when he commenced taking meals with uncle Jim. He suffers a little with indigestion when he eats at home. The f#ct is that like John D. and * other "malefactors of great wealth" * and big business, the Colonel will ( never be able to eat a square meal * again, and feel like himself. Persons c who have their minds concentrated on any great movement, or object, cannot eat as do people who live and j die easy. Being impressed with his mission of supplying the poor with i good furniture at reasonable prices, 1 and in this field being "the only real j and efficient champion" which the | poor have, the colonel is bending f every effort to see that all the peopie have as much furniture as he can 1 get off on them. , I And because he is so impressed I ] with his mission in life he has like < the others become a victim of dys- [ pepsia. But notwithstanding this 1 the colonel looks as great a cavalry- ] man as his distinguished cousin, Joe Wheeler, and he sits on a horse with the ease and dignity of General Lee ? himself. 5 The Colonel will dine with uncle Jim again next Sunday, unless in the meantime, he leaves for the '< mountains. 1 Happy is the girl who thinks her lather is the best man on earth. ] o " ^ I -t^LLo /Rome 6<S/O.W?LL, SENI ?" LEFTy msSANip ANP QNNA1 BRADLEY-WIDEM^CW CLAN. A meeting of the Bradley and CVideman families with all connec;ions, by affinity, consanguinity, and narriage, was called for last Saturlay, the 14th, at Little Mountain nineral spring, in this county. Considering the short and informal lotice, the attendance was very good, :omething over a hundred; though ;his is perhaps less than one-fifth of ;hose who probably would have at;ended if fuller notice had been givsn. As it was, Abbeville city, Troy, tfcCormick, Mt. Carmel, Due West, |,nd Bellevue had their representa ;ives, while a lew wno nave strayed rrom the fold to such places as ^lemson College, Atlanta and Washngton City, were welcomed again nto the family circle. A delightful picnic dinner ind a spring of sparkling mineral vater contributed much to the pleasire of the occasion. The ancestors of the Bradleys in Abbeville county, came to America ibout 160 years ago, settling first on he Hudson River in New York State, rhey came from County Antrim, reland, and from information obainable it seems that they were originally Catholic in religion. The Widemans are of German decent. They came to this country >nly a little later than the-Bradleys, anding at Charleston, and working heir way to the up country. The lescendants of these two families, vho have inter-married with the I r 1 j V _ TTT J1 xl IT uorrans, me waraiaws, me ivenneiys, the Fosters, the McCaslans, the jressleys, and the Liteses, and with sach other, thorugh several generaions, constitute a large per cent of he people in lower Abbeville county. It is likely a reunion of these some 'amilies, and connections will be held tnnually at Little Mountain Spring. \.t the next meeting a Patriarch will >e selected as governor and director >f the tribes. Such an election vould have been held on last Saturlay, but as the candidate passes on lis own qualifications, and age is the ;est, theire were no entries. There are many solemn duties that vould devolve on the patriarch so :hosen. Primarily he would require lis young men to bring a pig, and jercnance, a lamo up into tne mountain to be dressed and roasted for ;he feast And then he would see to it that his young men used nothing stronger than the mineral water to vash down the feast. The day passed pleasantly at Little Mountain and it is a compliment to those present that no modern ac:essaries to the picnic dinner, such as :ards and light drinks were in pvilence. Before parting in the afterloon a quintette of male voices, sang )ld familiar songs, which were echoed md re-echo%d through the encircling voods. Little Mountain spring is delightfully suited for gatherings of this rind, and it is probable that all future reunions of the Bradley-Wide nan families and connections, will be leld there. Spectator.

During the months of May aiu June the baby death rate begins U climb, reaching its height in July aw August. It should not be forgottoi that this is the season when babia should be given the greatest care an< ettention in order to keep them well There are two causes demanding tki ?heat and flies. Heat is depressing It increases every danger that bal >3 is disposed to. If there is lack 0; cleanliness about baby or babs'i things, heat increases it and. makB: it harder to bear; if baby lives ii stuffy air, heat makes it sickenini and unendurable; if itc food is n> handled with greatest cleanliness am care, heat makes greater its infec tion and therefore increai?es its dai ger to baby's health and life. Then there are flies. Flies are ba by's greatest enemy. They shouli never be allowed to come in conta: with baby itself, or its food, or ar^ of its playthings. They carry nun erous diseases but are the main Car -iers of cliarrhoeal diseases commonl; J.nown as "baby summer complcints. The baby death rate from thi* dis ease climbs especially high durinj these months. And strange as i may seen to some mothers this is j preventable disease, though it ma; sometimes be carried in impure wa ter and milk. The mother there fore would be safe in eriviner her chil< only pasteurized milk and an abun dance of cooled boiled water, and ii keeping it from flies and fiy-infectec food.

' Many failures with crimson and f bur clover are due to too deep cover5 ing of the seed. It is therefore safer ? to cover both very lightly and depend on getting enough moisture to bring ihem up. The seed of crimson clov(. ver germinate and come up quickly - if they have moisture. We have had^ J 89 per cent germinate in 40 hours and 75 per cent of seed in the chaff ? germinate in three days. For planting in cotton, which is : * more generally free of weeds, we bej lieve best results will usually bo ob tained by sowing the seed and coveri ing with the lightest sort of harrowing or brushing, depending on showers to germinate the seed. Much crimson clover-seed will be town in the chaff this fall throughout e the South. There are two points to be observed in using home grown reed in the chaff; First, enougn must e be used to insure 12 to 15 pounds, t preferably the latter, of good clean 5 seed per acre. To do this will require r from 25 to 40 pounds of seed in the ? r haff, according to the amount of . rtraw and leaves in the chaff. If r clean seed in the hulls, or if only the hulls and seed within them constitute the material used, probably 25 pounds will give fully 15 pounds of t Feed. The second point which we fear may be the cause of disappointment with home-raised seed is that Five or six dotca will break any caie, and if taken then as tonic the Fever will not return. It acta on the liver better than j Calomel and does not gripe or sicken. 25c I *1-?. ^ a A ^ im.A J wwwvww WW w< ! | PROLONG LI] I nnn i iij A Harmless Ve? ?e|5 with no Inji i i '-|1 DOES AWAY WITH ' 1 d 5~J Grigsby's Liv-V J |# Recommended di immature seea seem to germinate j very slowly. j Under the same conditions under I which 89 per cent of machine-hulled 1 seed germinated in 40 hours and 75 s per cent of mature seed in the hulls j terminated in three days , we have found 55 days only sufficient to ger* minate 60 per cent of a sample of im, mature seed, and after even that pe* riod an occasional one of these immaJ \ # f 'Tire seed continues to germinate. If g the seed were not allowed to mature B well, or if they are not plump and 1 large, we suggest an extremely large amount of these seed in the chaff be t used. While tests of well matured j home-grown seed have given a fairly good germination, either hulled or unhulled, we fear that much of the .seed saved was not well matured, and ;n such case slow germinatior and j faulty stands are almost certain to t occur unless a liberal quantity of seed is used. We do not advocate the sowing of _ vetch alone. Unless sown with some j >.uch crop as oats, wheat or barley, it ? 'alls down and much less satisfactory _ losuits are oDrained, ix may De sown ? under the same conditions found best t for these crops. j When anything like a good rtand j of bur clover is obtained, a very . irxrge quantity of burs, or seeH in the _ hurs, must be used. In fact, comj plete or even fairly complete stands _ of bur clover are difficult to obtain j at the first seeding except on small j rreas, under most favorable condi? tions, and by a very liberal use of l seed. If, however, the seed in the NoTSi^Sixty^Six < 1 This la a prescription prepared especially , for MALARIA or CHILLS A. FEVER, By Gross ^ "".
