Mr. Cantelon's Cotton Dropper In another column will be found an ad vertisement of this machine. When such good farmers as Mr. Cantelon. Capt. Ben Mays, X. L Brunsen, Jas. Mathis, Capt. Guerard, Wm. Walton and others testify to its merits, anything we could say would be altogether superfluous. Remember this machine is not a "Cotton Planter," but a "Cotton Dropper," and the seed come up chopped out, approximately. On next Salesday one of these Droppers will be on exhibition at Edi/efield C.

' MR. JACOB L. SMITH, Little Saluda, S. C., J une 20,1S82, says : " I am well pleas ed with the Acme Harrow. Have tried it on white bottom land, clods very stiff and hard. With proper weight it pul verized well ; and on turf land nothing can beat it. I think it will be the idea for covering grain. It is the best thing in the way of a Harrow I have ever seen." ?&r- When you went good Whiskey or Wine for home use-for medicinal or cooking purposes, go to tho BONANZA Saloon, next door to PENN'S Drug Store.

Quit buying Shoddy and buy only first-class goods from COBB. Buckeye Harvesting Muchines. I am agent for the Buckeye, made by C. A uitman A Co., Canton, Ohio, and I am able to furui h farmers who need either a Binder, Combined or Single Self Raking Reaper, Dropper or Mower with such machines as they require. The sol id merits of the grain and grass cutting machines manufactured by C. Aultman ?fe Co. have made thc Buckeye a house hold word in every civilized land. At every World's fair it has borne away the nigh os i honors. It has been absent from no great competitivo field-trial during the past twenty-five years, and the Buck eye has not failed in a single instance tc carry off the highest prize over all com petitors. These tact? conclusively prove the superiority of the mechanism of the Buckeye, and there are few corners ic the land where there are not Buckeye Mowers and Reapers whose owners will vouch for their surpassing durability. No labor-saving machine has ever gain ed such a splendid reputation in the har vest field as the Buckeye Twine Binder. As to durability, easy'draft, good bal ance, convenience in handling, reliabili ty in good binding, separation, and free dom from side-draft and from all the vexations and stoppages that mark the conduct of other, bindera in the field, there is perfect unanimity of testimony on tueTpart of the seven 'thousand pur chasers of 1882 Buckeyes that the ma chine is without a peer in the birnie; field. Although as many more binden will be made for 188.'l as the careful con struction which characterizes all of C Aultman ?fe Co.'s products will admit of it ia not expected that all orders can bi filled. More binders had been sold a the works np to November 1st than ha< been made, though fifty completo ma chines are turned out daily. I take grea pleasure in commending tho Buckey Binder, SD confident am I of the satis factiou it will render, and I most respect fully invite all my farmer friends io care folly examine the claims of the Buck eye before ordering a binder for nex season's work.

Miss Purcell's Rosebuds of Bonnets* Miss Nellie Purcell, of Augusta, ls still in New York buying her Spring Milli nery, but her Easter bonnets and hats have already arrived, and^we have seen them. They are distractingly dainty things, made of the most delicately tint ed satins and corded feliks-pinkish lav ender, clel-blus, silver-gray, shrimp pink, peach-blossom pink, pale gold, tea. rose color and cream white. These dain ty head coverings have soft Moorish crowns and shirred brims, and, where it is becoming, there is a faoe trimming in side of lace and tiny rosebuds mingled a very trying addition and requiring an uncommonly fresh und pretty face. Out side there is a wondrous arrangement of ostrich tips, crushed roses, lace and huge buckles of paste or gold or silver in fili gree; this kept from looking over-trim med by deft and artistic management of a French mau. Sometimes the sole trim ming consists of adozenhummingbirds, perched all around the crown of the bon net. The exquisite little Corday bonnet has a brim of white satin, a soft crown of white velours and is garnitured with a wreath of white snow-drops, covered with a glittering frost-like crystalllza tion. Another bonnot In "spoon" shape, is made of silver satin, with a pink lin ing, a pink velvet crown aud a cluster of white marabout feathers, held by a pearl huckle. One of Miss Purcell's models is of the Tyrolean shape, with a pointed crown, Is of pale dead gold, with a lining of royal cardinal and a trimming ol black Spanish lace cascaded around tho crown, with sprays of crimson unmount ed roses nestling here and there among the falls of lace. A stylish spring bon net, "Quern Mab" shape, which is ol tho poke order of bonnets, is made ol amber-colored straw. About the crown is draped a wide pattern bf gold lace, which partly veils a small wreath ol scarlet roses and mignonettes. The in side of the bonnet IB faced with crimson velvet and upon the extreme edge In sel a row of pale amber beads. Episcopal Entertainment.

On Tuesday evening, March 20th, 1*368, in theMethodist Episcopal Church, Joh 1 i ston, S. C., Mr. R. ALBERT SCOTT an Miss NANNIE I. DUNLAP, daughter o Mrs. M. H. DUNLAP, we?-? united in marriage, by the Rev. W. A. Rodgers. " True love is love whose wonder Urows lovelier with the ages, Forever in Its prime." The scene was a holy and a beautlfu one. The bride is gentle, lovely and be loved. The bridegroom is manly, popu lar and faithful. The church was ex quisitely garlanded with green and white, and the happy couple stood beneath i j bridal bell of tender arbor vit?, whose,! tongue was a sno wy and pendent Calla." The bridal tram consisted of Miss Era ma Calhoun on tho arm of Mr. Robert Cartledge; Miss Carrie Kernaghan and Mr. W. B. Eoyd ; Miss Cassie Morgan and Mr. Jeff* Lewis ; Miss Sallie McKay. 11 and Mr. W. T. Riley, of Bronson ; Miss' Ella McLenna and Mr. Goo. W.Wright; Miss Lilian Mobley and Mr. C. M. Rau ton; Miss Lizzie Griffin and Mr. Henry G. Wright ; M1&8 Alma Griffin, of Lau-,, rena, and Dr. J. E. Cowies ; Miss Mamie j Teague, the youthful and lovoly cousin of the bride, and Mr. Thomas Philpot, of Augusta; the brido and bridegroom. As tho bridal procession moved up the aisles of the church, Mr. James T. Ba con, au old and falthful.'.friend of the bride, played a march on the organ. Toe church, brilliancy lighted, lilied to its utmost capacity, fairy-like and fra grant with flowers, beaming with bright faces aud brilliant bits of coloring, pre sented a tout ensemble of fascinating love lines*. Tho fair bride wore a long train of] softest cream nun's voiling, profusely f trimmed wi h very wide Spanish lace, anoverskirt en tablier of heavy white" satin in long pendeut points, almost cov ered with Spanish lace, a basque of mingled veiling, satin and lace, a bouquet du corsage of Cornelia Cook roses, a floating veil of white tulle and a coronet f orange flowers. Her shoe?, gloves, fan and handkerchief were of rare | beauty. The bridesmaid* wore lovely white dresses with short round skirts. The marriage ceremony was beautiful, sol emn and impressive; and as these two outhful and happy beings knelt at God's holy altar, our soul said for them: '.Ah, ye who now are treading Where older souls have trod List to the deeper teaching Of life, far reaching; List to the hopes sublimest That bloom in Man and God." And now what matters the rest? The merely earthly part? The reoeption the frast- the presents? Tho reception, at the home of the bride's mother-was perfect in its style, elegance and hospi tality. The feast was fit for a king. The presents were such as behooved the fond love of many faithful friends towards so fair and beloved a bride. Mr. and Mrs. Scott will carry to their home the best wishes of many commu nities. May their wedded life be as hap py as their youth has been puro and un. selflah. " We li ve for love, for love alone, and who Dare ?hide us for Ur Who dare call it folly ? It is a holy thing, if aught is holy, And true indeed, if truth herself is true; Earth cleaves to earth, its sensuous life ! is dear ; Mortals should loveuiortality while here, And seize the glowing hours before thev fly; Bright eyes should answer ey , warm lips should meet. And hearts enlocked to kiudred hearts should beat, And every soul that lives, in love should llvo and die." - That is a splendid Trunk I bought from J. M. Conn last week.
