Dr. Jos. H. Jennings, of the

late to save her life. She lingered
a few hours in agony, dying that

severely burned in his efforts to
save his wife, and his hands are m
such a mutilated condition that he
has to be fed, and cannot even
takeoff his hat from his head.
Blind Tigers in Edgefield.
The show folks who were here
last week posting bills asked Dis
penser Davis if they could post
some of their bills on the dispen
sar}'. He consented and they
pasted up a lot on the north side
of the building. On one of these
posters there is the picture of an
enormous tiger. The next morn
ing when Mr. Davis went to open
the dispensary lo and behold a
crowd of antis and conservatives
stood nt the door knocking and
waiting. And he said unto them:
"What do .ye here? Are ye not of
those that drink not from dispen
saries, but prefer blind tigers?"
And they answered and said unto
him : "Yea. But is this not a
blind tiger?" Whereat Dispenser
Davis marvelled much. And they
took Dispensers Davis and Kearsey
out and showed them the pictures
ot the tigers in proof of their say
ing, whereupon they all fell down
prone upon the earth and wept for
jov. Davis and Kearsey wept for
joy because they had fooled the
antis by pastiug the picture of a
tiger ou the dispensary, and the
antis wept for joy that the}' had
fouud, as th^y supposed, a blind
tiger.

Plow On, Hoe On, Work On, and
You'll Get There By and By.
EDITOR ADVERTISER: The small
grain crop in this commuuity is
looking remarkably well, better
than it has for several years, and
if seasons continue on, there will
be a large crop made, which will
be the salvatiou of many poor
farmers, most of them being in
needy circumstances and always
will be unless they change their
mode of farming, by working more
and doing better work, and then
make their supplies at home. No
mau can prosper and do well rest
ing on his oars all the time and
depending on something to turn
up and get him out of the mire.
The right way to do is to go to
work and turn up something. Some
men it seems are expecting the
State and national government to
pass some law that will make
money rattle into their pockets
like pouring peas down on a raw
hide. No that won't do, things
don't work that way. The people
have to support the govern
ment, not the government the peo
ple. Some men are always rpady
to blame the merchant, the banker,
the lawyer, the doctor, or somebody
bocauee they don't get on well and
make a good living, when really
there is nobody to blame but them
selves. I have heard men say they
might as well take their musket
on their shoulder and fight the war
over again the way things were,
that things were so arranged that
the farmer could not get a fair and
remunerative price for what he
made. But where is the enemy
entrenched and who are they going
to fight? The best implement to
fight with now is the plow and the
hoe, the reaper and the mower, and
from early morn uti til dewy eve. .
Elbert Padgett, colored, mail
carrier from Elmwood to Johnston,
accidently shot himself in the leg
with a pistol. As luck would have
it for him, the wound is slight and
not dangerous. I would advise all
boys not to have anything to do
with pistols as they are dangerous
things to fool with.

The News from Cold Spring-Mr.
Bussey's Sermon at Ked
Hill-The Crops.
MR. EDITOR: To-day has been
the most pleasant and lovely Sab
bath that has been given us this
year, and a large and appreciative
audience gave strict and close at
tention to the sermon of Rev. G.
W. Bussey, preached from the
text, "Ye are the salt of the earth,"
at Red Hill church. The earnest
ness that Mr. Bussey puts into his
sermons mark plainly the pro
found search and deep study of
gospel truths.
A fire at Red Hill on Thursday
night last destroyed the gin house
and contents, of Capt. J. H. Bussey.
Contents consisted of gin, press,
wagon, scales, planing machine,
cotton seed, and two bales of seed
cotton. Fifteen hundred feet of
dressed lumber stored under the
gin house was also burned. With
the help of friends the saw and
grist mill was saved from the
flames, eugine not damaged ex
cept the IJSS of belting.
School Commissioner M. B.
Davenport gave the Red Hill
school a call on his professional
rounds on Friday last. It is suffi
cient to say that the office is well
filled and none could conform
more strictly to his duties.
Miss Willie Hudson, who is so
widely and favorably known as a
teacher and as a lady, paid Red
Hill a visit on Saturday and Sun
day. Her cheerful and kindly
presence renews the friendship of
old acquaintances and makes many
new ones. She returned to the
Parksville High School on Sunday
afternoon.
This beatiful weather is making
the clod hopper jump for joy and
he is using all of his stored up
energy to prepare and plant a big
crop in time. Grain is making
such rapid strides that one can
almost see it grow, and may God
speed the time that the oats will
do to feed, then we will all be
happy.

Parksville Notes.
We are having beautiful weather

and the sermon by the pastor, Rev.
G. W. Bussey, was enjoyed exceed
ingly by all who had thc pleasure
of hearing it.
On Friday before, Prof. Ducello
gave an entertainment, in the Acad
emy hall. His magic lantern served
to illustrate the scenes of life out
West among the cow-boys. His
lecture, songs, examples of ven
triloquism, and all was interesting.
Prof. Ducello will romain but
few days longer in Parksville he
says.
We have been visited by several
drummers the past week, and others
pasaing through the town.
Mr. L. F. Dorn and Parks & Co.,
have opened a new stock of spring
goods. They carry on an exten
sive trade, terms suitable to all.
Mrs. G. W. Bussey and her small
children left for Greenville, S. C.,

father's friends and relatives. Will
remain with them about two weeks.
Our Reading Society which
meets every Friday evening is still

meeting.
The school in charge of Miss
Willie Hudson, is of interest to
Parksville. The pupils are making
rapid progress and Miss Hudson
is no "poke," she will be ready for
a nice entertainment at the close
of school.

Items from Zo fir School.
MR. EDITOR: If you will allow
us a little space we will give you
a few items from our school. Our
teacher is Miss Mamie Bouknight
from Newberry. She is an excellent
teacher. I think we have the right
lady in, the right place. We have
become so very much interested,
we feel like others are too. We all
like Very much to go to school.
We have had fifty-three scholars,
but some of the boys, we are sorry
to say, will soon have to stop to
help on thc farms. So we think
it will do them good to see a piece
from their old school.
Monday, it being unlikely weath-'
er all the scholars were not present.
Wc had a very profitable day. Our
motto was, "I must guard my
tongue." We opened as usual with
scripture teaching, singing, and
prayer, then followed a pretty
recitation by Master Walter Grant
and a talk on politeness.
Tuesday: opening exercises as
usual, then followed a beautiful
recitation by our teacher entitled
"The Early Settler Story," and
while wo were busy putting our
school room in order our School
Commissioner M. B. Davenport and
County Commissioner J. Banks
honored us with a short call. We
were delighted to see them, we are
always glad to have our friends
visit us and esyecialy our School'
Commissioner.
Wednesday-We had such a
beautiful morning, it seemed like
we were all anxious for the open
ing hour to arrive. Opened, as'
usual and fellowed by a chapter
on truth in which were many fine
passages. Then we had a splendid
and profitable lesson in language
on manners in school. We are all
trying to see how polite and kind
we can be to each other.
Thursday-We opened by read
ing scripture which was followed
by singing and prayer, and then
we had a pretty recitation by
Lillian Gardner, "Oh, Father
Come Kiss Me Once More," and
our teacher read a chapter on
obedience. Our motto for Thurs
day was, "Obedience should be
prompt, faithful, and cheerful."
Friday-was a beautiful spring
day and wo opened as usual by
reading singing and prayer, then

Ernest and Sudie Satcher. Our
motto for Friday was "Industry is
constant diligence in proper em
ployment," Then our teacher give
us a talk on industry.
Adieu until another time.

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.
There was never a time in the his
tory of our country when the demand
for inventions and improvements in
the arts and sciences generally was so
great as now. The conveniences of
mankind in the factory and work
shop, the household, on the farm, and
in ollicial life, require continual ac
cessions to the appurtenances and
implements of each in order to save
labor, time, and expense. The political
change in the administration of the
government does not aiFect the progress
of the American inventor, wi o being
on the alert' and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit
the affairs of government to deter him
from quickly conceiving the remedy to
overcome existingdiscrcpencies. Too
jreat care cannot be exercised in choos
uga competent and skillfully attor
ney to prepare ami prosecute an ap
plication for patent. Valuable intersts
have been lost and destroyed in in
numerable instances by the employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and
.specially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
pay" system. Inventors wno entrust
Lheir business to this class ol'attorneys
lo so al imminent risk, as the breadth
ind strength of the patent is never
considered in view of a quick endeavor
o get an allowance and obtain tin
fee Iben due. TIIK PU ESS CLAIMS
