The term of free school opened at j Palmetto Institute last Monday. An obstinate man ~ does not hold j opinions, but they hold him. I Strange, but true?weak minded people are often headstrong. The epidemic of measles has about run its course, nearly every body in town having had them. Notwithstanding the cold weather orange blossoms are blooming hereabouts. We are glad to know that Mr. A.

Esquire Dreher is in town on o"- j icial business. He looks as frisky j c nd as lively as a youDg maid enter- ' aining her first beau.

Fiiday is St. Valentine's day and many a gentle maiden's heart flutters ! with hate and expectancy as the day l draws nearer and nearer. We hope their fondest hopes may be realizid. The measles in the surrounding country must certainly be a conve| nient excuse for some people to use a ; large quantity of ''fuss'' X, the way they dart in and out of the dispen ! sary. I The sign of politics must certainly , be in the head from the way some politicians are hob-nobbing and i button holing the dear fiiends. The would-be-ins, always know exactly what is needful, and think that they would do better in office than the fellow that's in, and so it goes. GOODFOREVERYBODY ana everyone nceus u ai an umes 01 uie year. Malaria is always about, and the only preventive and relief is to keep the Liver active. You must help the Liver a bit, and the best helper is the Old Friend, simMONS Liver regulator, the red Z. Mr. C. Himrod, of Lancaster, Ohio, says: "SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR broke a case of Malarial Fever of three years' standing for me, and less than one bottle did the business. 1 shall use it when in need, and recommend it." Be sure that you get it. Always look for the RED Z on the package. And don't forget the word regulator. It is simmons Liver Regulator, and there is only one, and every one who takes it is sure to be benefited. the benefit is ALL in the remedy. Take it also for Biliousness and Sick Headache; both are caused by a sluggish Liver. J. H. Zeilin & Co., Philadelphia.

Shealy runs a store with i good stock, keeping what the set .lenient need?, and gatherirg in lispite the times much cash money. He has bought during the last year )ver a thousand cross ties. He has jiven his son 5,000 virgin boxes to ivork for his own benefit, the pro leeds of which the young man will use to finish his education. Trained in this manner to labor with an object and to know the value of time and money, this young man will make his mark and stand, perhaps, far above the pampered darlings of the drawing room. A man needs determined resolution and keen foresight in dealing with the subject of the education of his children. The Rev. Mr. George S. Bearden, young, popular and gifted, has highly pleased the people at Nazareth, where he is efficiently supported by the Superintendent, Mr. A. R. Taylor, and the Assistant, Mr. G. A. Shealy. When the sun's shadow dwindles to your foot, Then you hear the scooped out dinner horn toot. Mr. .Tared Taylor says that the man who tries to harness mules without a slider ought to have a pair of cows. Now what pleasure is there in driving a team of cows? They can't Hop their ears and look innocently backward over their shoulders while the let drive both sections of their business end with catapultic force over the dash-board, tear up things generally, break away and j with every chain strap and wooden fixture broken, go to grazing with a look of ineffable peace and content, and a mien indicative of a consciousness of work well done. A single mule will give far more opportunities for vigorous thought than a dozen cows. * ' Or. D. L. BOOZER, J. WILLIAM. BOOZ Extracting and Artificia Denture. Filling and ])s 1).
