"Johnnie," said his mother, "did you get any marks at school to-day for conduct?" "Yes," promptly replied Johnnie, "several; but if you want to see theui, I'll have to take off some of my clothes." So many new faces are seen ou our street:i and in our churches and in other places that we really don't know where we are i.t-here, or iu Green wood, or Atlanta, or somewhere else. Capt.

The friends of Sam Taylor are press ing him for the House of Representa tives. Sam is of course in fa>or o? free silver. He says a silver dollar ought to be as big as a gold dollar-anu no bigger. He will probably be announc ed next week, if he can get the shekels. A mule died in St. Louis last week sixty years old. His health and heels were high until his last illness, which quickly followed the purchase of a younger an i nal to take his place and nis demise was undoubtedly due toa broken heart. The factory is progressing steadily and surely. Window frames are go ing in; brick are being burned and laid very fast, and one of the brick lay ers is a prodigy.

C., lias recently moved to our town and opened a dry goods store at what our readers know ns Cobb's corner nexi door to Mr. Cobb's present locale. Mr. Broom's advertisement appears in this issue and we direct especial attention to it. Mr. Broom says your dollars will do double duty if invested in his store. An American Agricultural expert finds that a film of kerosene oil in ves sels of water near his house has rid bim of mosquitoes. An East India journal vouches for the castor oil plant as one of the best protection > against mosquitoes, the ordinary be Jief being that the insects are killed by poison found on the lower side of the leaf. * The Aiken Journal aud Review says: Hon.

Peaches and pears and apples may tantalize and vex and disappoint, and finally fail utterly io *"he general rouud-up, but the blessed olackberry never never "keeps the word of prom ise to the ear and breaks it tu the hope." Saluda county cannot do a better thing thhn to elect Jno. C. Caughman Treasurer of that county. He is a clean-banded man, and il it were pos sible Edgeiteld would like to drop in a couple of thousand votes for him at the ensuing election. Only about 500.voters ol* this county have registered up to Chis writing. The Commissioners of Registration ask that as many of the citizens of our town register this week as possible, as they close up their ofiice on Saturday. Saluda county has selected the fol lowing we'.] known citizens is dele gates to the State Democratic Conven tion : B. L. Caughman, J. E. Riser, VV. W. Padgett, B. VV. Grouch, Geo. B. Lester, T. A. Pitts. R. B. Watson was elected a member of the State Execu tive Committee. Our friend and co-laborer in the sil ver vineyard, Brooks Mayson Esq., is writing a speech on free silver, to be delivered either in Saluda or Edgefield county during the campaign now about to begin. The first, rough-dia mond draft of this speech he is writing on the blank leaves of a Cow Brand Soda memorandum book. Brooks has no idea, however, of being made the vehicle to advertise Cow Brand Soda although he has not a word to say against the Cow Brand per se, but the Cow Brand people, are *'Gold Bugs" and as such do not deserve, neither will they receive, any consideration at his hands. The largest mule that ever walked on American soil is now, or was re cently, the property of George H. Johnson, a farmer living a few miles East of Honey Grove, Texas. His mule ship is '?xactly lS}.i hands, or six feet 2 inches in height," being exactly 1% inches higher than the fanuus Los Pecos (Old Mexico) mule, which was so widely advertised in 1890-91 as be ing "the most gigantic specimen of the mule family the w .rid has ever known."' The Hon y Grove mule is not slim and raw-boned, but is built iu proportion to his height, weighing 1, blO pounds. Hope Doesn't Enrich. You :an't get rich on hope; you may hope all day that someone will come along and sa v.- your wood, but that doesn't keep the lire going. The way to get rich is tc *<ave money ; and the way to save money is to trade at Ramsey & Bland's. Saludes Candid;! tes. The following have been announced for the various offices in Saluda coun ty : For Clerk of Court, W. F. Huiet, B. W. Crouch, and J. yV. Edwards. For Auditor, B. V.* Rushton, E. A. Ferry i nd \V. A.

Edwards will be a candidate for the State Senate. No. Pensioners. In Edgefield last year were 108 pen sioners; this year there were 174 ap plications and 102 rejections, leaving 72, a decrease of thirty-live. We clipped the above from the Co lumbia Register and suppose the fig ures are the work of thc State Board of Pensions. The figures as obtained here from Capt. L. Charlton, Chairman Board, are as follows : Number of pen sioners class a, 9; number in class b, 10; number iu classe, 85; number in class c, widows, 73; making a sum total of 177 allowed and approved. The list rejected is probably 200, and there are other applications pending. Blessiuffs to Humanity. April showers are a blessing to the honest yeomanry, because they insure well-filled granaries with the good things of the soil, but these are small compared with the blessings that Ramsey & Bland will bestow upon their thousands of patrons who will avail themselves of the low prices they are offering on Wagons, Buggies, Har ness, Furniture, Coffins and Caskets. Joe Banks of Saluda. And how about Joe Banks for Su pervisor of Saluda County? He made one of the best county commissioners Edgefield ever had, in fact we never beard but one objection to him, that however is a very serious one and we should not mention it except that a stern sense of our duty to the public requires it. That objection is this: At picnics and barbecues Joe Batiks would, and will always., begin with the peach pie and chicken fixings and eat DO WK instead of commencing: with the hash, corn bread, and common do ings aud eating u.? like the balance of us. The consequence was that Joe never got his share of the common victuals, while the balance of us well the balance of us did as the peo ple do "over the river," the best we could. And this is the single, solitary, and very lonesome objection to Joe Banks. it Stands To Reason that 20,000,000 bottles of a medicine could not be sold unless it was good, honest, and did what was claimed for it. Here are the facts about DR. CLARK JOHNSON'S BLOOD SYRUP In 30 years ao,ooo,ooo bottles have been sold to cure Blood Diseases, and it must be a CURE.

Dyspepsia, Headaches, Constipation, Liver and Kidney troubles, Scrofula, Pimples, etc. Attack the foundation of dis ease, cleanse the blood, bring it back to the splendid work inten? ded for it by nature, There may be other ways, but the best is by using nae tried and true remedy Or.

'Some Homely but Sound Ad \ vice Showing Farmers How to "Get There." \ EDITOR ADVERTISER: Mr. "Wyalt I Hall, Sr., died 'his morning aged : about seventy-eight yearH, bo had ? been lingering for some limo and ! his death was expected. UH was an honest upright man in his transactions andas industrious as thu day was long. He was H mem ber of Little Stevens Creek Church for many years and was a faithful and devoted man of God. We uro still needing rain. The wheat and oats will bo short and we have not had a good year for oats in several years, lt soeme as the red oats has "run out" and I think farmers ought to get some other varietieH and try them. A different kind might clo much bet ter and yield a great deal more. About ten years it was reckoned that if oals stood the wiuter we could make good oats on almost any land. I suggest that some of our farmers get several varieties and sow them, and then let others know through the columns of the good old ADVERTISER how they succeeded, and let us all try and get to making good crops of oats as we did in former year?. I as sure you, all farmers need ali the oats and, corn too, they can make and then turn enough corn and oats info meat for home use, so that every farrier can have a smoke house at home lilied full of meat, and then it will not take so much five cent cotton to do him. When I was raising up to manhood I nev-, or knew my father to buy a pound of bacon, barrel of flour, or bushel of om, and I noticed all men who made plenty of corn and bacon at home were in a much better con dition financially than those who made cotton to buy corn and ba con with. This ought to satisfy any reasonable mau that it will not do to make cotton to buy pro visions with. Sol would advise all cotton bugs to try and make plen ty of corn aud bacon to do them, and let tho colton go to grass un til it will bring renumerative prices to comp?nsale the farmer for his labor.
