Mr. E. IV. Whitlock, who lives near
Vaucluse but in this county, makes
from twenty-five to forty bushels of
rice every y ?ar on an acre or less. He
has an old-fashioned mortar and pestle
with which appliances he hulls it. This
year, however, he hauled it to a rice
huller and paid one-fifth as toll for
cleaning. He carried, at one time, ten
bushels of rough rice and got back, af
ter paying the toll, four bushels of
nicely cleaned white rice ready for
cooking.

The Farmers Bank.
The annual report of this Bank ap
pears in another column. The showing
made is an excellent one, but in addi
tion to what appears upon the face of
this report a dividend of seven per
cent to stock holders has oeen declar
ed payable upon demand at the Cash
ier's desk. Actions speaks louder than
words, and the cold cash louder than
either. But hearken ! over and above
the seven per cent dividend payj-ble
on demand, a profit of two per cent has
been placed to the credit of stock as
surplus-this surplus already amount
ing, before tJiis credit of two percent,
to $4,914.56.
Useful Information.
A correspondent g;ves the following
important bit of informat ion concern
ing ..e care of sewing machines : Take
out ?ie screw tliat holds the foot plate,
re1 ?ove it,and you will be surprised at
th amount of lint accumulated there.
Ci-.?an the little grooves with a pen
knife, and under tlie whole of t lie pl ito.
The needle must be taken out before
the work is begun. You will often
lind that this is the only cause for the
machine's running hard or not carry
ing the work, and it is a little secret
that the agents will not tell you. I have
just cleaned mine in this way, audit
runs like a new machine.

Our Country Cousin.
"Xantippe" writes us thus of the
recent play in the Opera House :
"Our Country Cousin" at the Opera
House on Thursday evening was fairly
good. Jason was a regubn meadow
sweet. The scenes shifting- the farm
kitciicn-the bustling house-wife-the
haymakers-ii,dd rakes-pi tell lurks
laborers-Dorothy and IIiclcory in ti e
rustic dance. The swell drawing-room
-visit of Jason ami Hickory-the dis
gust of the city relatives. The wreck
ing of the train at midnight-Hight of
the conspirators-grand linale with co
tillion in the barn-Chinese lanterns
Dorothy-Hickory-Maud Mullers
clowns-fidlers-new mown hay and
clover.
The Rev. Samuel Leard Dead.
Rev. Sam'l Leard, the oldest minister
of the South Carolina Methodist Con
ference, died at the home of bis son H.
S. Leard in Raleigh N. C., on March
3th. Mr. Leard was much beloved in
our town and vicinity, not only by those
af his own persuasion but by many of
El "different faith and order." The
Southern Christian Advocate of last
week pays a beautiful and loving trib
ute to his memory, from which we ex
tract the following touching lines:
'Sleep, weary and worn pilgrim, sleep
the sleep of God's beloved. Toil and
[rial are all past. Eternal rest is thine.
Fold the bands, close the eyes, and let
jur father sleep. Let us walk softly
not that we may rouse him-but in rev
;rence of the saintly soul that has fall
in on sleep in Jesus. Let us gei tly
{neel in truest submission and surest
faith, and let us again pledge ourselves
io to live that we shall "go to him"
when the watchers say of us-"he is
lead !"

Can't You
Imagine how anxious we are lo
dispose of the remainder of our
stock of furniture before another
full stock arrives. We have a large
supply on hand, but for ti short
while we prop ?se offering extra in
ducements to buyers of Furniture,
[udeedwe always offer extra in
ducements to purchasers of furni
ture, but just now we are positively
out-stripping all former efforts.
Come at once and get < ur prices
on bed room suits, parlor suits,,
washstands, bedsteads, rocking
chairs etc.
Our prices
Have been r?duced lo meet ar
emergencies, and remember that we
will order anything which we do
not carry in 6tock, but we can fit
up a residence from cellcr to garret
and if t eed be can give you advice
about getting married and how to
commence "keeping house."
Ahead of Time !
Peifection unsurpassed! Tuese arf
some of the things that have been
said about the "Old Hickory'' wag
ons. We have sold dozens of the
"Ol I Hickory" this season and
scarcely a day passes that a new
vehicle is not rolled out and rolled
away from our establishment by
some happy customer. Of the "Old
Hickory" wagon we will always as
sert that it is the first and best, in
comparable as to durability and ii.
many other particulars.
Moreover
We are loaded to the muzzle with
Buggies and Carriages of all grades
and descriptions and propose to
shoot them off in every direction.
Xow, get in a position where one of
those fancy things on wheels will
strike you.
It is Useless
To tell the public that we carry in
stock Blacksmith tools, Carpenter's
tools, hubs, rims, spokes, tires, and
a complete stock of wheelwrights'
supplies.
Farmers
Should remember that we deal in
such implements as they need and
that we do not want the earth

Hardware a specialty, and Har
