J. Hutchinson and his teachers, & consisting of dialogues, essays, songs, ti etc. At the close, Dr. W. H. Fra- a zier, pastor of the First Presbyterian ihurch at Anderson, who was on ^ hand, by request, came forward and ^ delivered a very fine lecture. It was as usual with everything that E the Doctor has to say, well delivered and sunk deep into the hearts of the people . The young people, some at each church last night, at the proper time, B 12 o'clock, rang out the old year and -- ^ rang in r.ne new, carrying uui* au old time custom. Miss Annie Lou Power and her elittle niece, May Belle Power, came c' up from their Augusta, Ga., home last Friday, 24th inst. and are still w here with friends. a Mr. I. T.

R. H. Moseley, had an exhibition, a 0 Christmas tree, well laden with pre- h sents of various descriptions, all of which were both pleasurable to re- ^ cipients, as well as donors. It has a been said that it is more pleasurable s to give than receive, but the writer n has more or less, * 11 of his life ques- g tioned the truthfulness of this adage. p I freely admit that many times gifts j are not prized as the donors believe a that they will be. In above case it r is believed that all were made happy c and went home reioicine. There c was such a down pour of rain during the time of the tree that the attend* * ance was made low. It is gratify- J ing indeed to the writer to say that it was one of the most quiet times that he has ever passed through. If ^ there was any of the drinking of j, whiskey, as there is a good deal of some times, there was not seen by P him one single one that was under ' the influence of it, none of the loud el talking nor cursing nor profane lan- js guage used at such times. The little boys would once in a while (not nftpnl a firp or Roman candle, or something of the ^ sort. This their usual sport, for p( several days and nights, was very noticeably lacking. Nobody was hurt in sport or intentionally. Mr. Jas. L. Ellis, of the Georgia Military Academy, came over this week and spent a day or two with his S( home folks in this place. h; Mr. J. B.

The "Central Committee of the iousewives' Associations of Greater lerlin" has undertaken* to show the ublic, especially the feminine poron of it, how great is the number f substitutes invented and already n the market, and how practical ley are, by means of one of the lost notable expositions ever held in lerlin. There are exhibited a few of the 5od substitutes now in use but the xposition is mainly devoted to artiles of household use that have come > replace all the copper and nickel rare that has had to be turned in for mmunition purposes. Thus there are common iron pipes, istefully gilded, to take the place of rass curtain poles. There are vesels and receptacles of all sizes made f a material called* "serpentine" rhich is found in great quantities ear Dresden, available instead 01 lie copper pans and pots that have one. There are oven doors made of iron nd steel which look every bit as well s the nickel ones generally used and rhich of course are quite as pracical. Even pins now are being made f iron instead of nickel, as are also ooks and eyes and similar objects. Some apparently efficient substiute has been discovered for the rare nd expensive rubber, and the expoition shows garden hose of the new laterial, which feels a;nd acts just as enuine rubber does, and will exand and contract quite as well. !Ven nipples for babies' milk bottles - - r 1 ?.4- +V,io "nao*. re iasmuiieu uuu w.i uao **. libber."

Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only aositive cure now known to the medical raternity. Catarrh being a constitutional lisease, requires a constitutional treatnent. Hall's Catarrh Cure Is taken (nernally, acting directly upon the blood ind mucous surfaces of the system, thereay destroying the foundation of the dis?ase, and giving the patient.strength by juilding up the constitution and assisting lature in doing its work.

A couple of visitors from a rural district were in the strangers' gallery in the house of commons trying to recognize their member on the floor.
