They | truthfully sav that "Such bravery and love of Country as this young girl dipplftved should make all South Carolina girls proud of their siQfcer, and they should be glad to h?ve a chance to show tbeir appreciation of % - her courage deed." Everyone should feel it an honor to help honor the memory of thi? fearles? woman who now lies borted in an obscure graveg? yard near Columbia K f We believe that Enily Geiger is bnried in the Threewitt old burying Lground in Congaree township, but ?T the exact spot'wh*re her sacred remains rest is not known?Editor p Dispatch.] Mr. P.

SEED I I M E[ <3ie experienced farmer has learned that some grains require far different soil than others; some crops need differenthandling than others. He knows that a great j | deal depends upon right planting at the right time, and that the soil must be kept enriched. No use of complaining in summer about a mistake made in the spring. Decide before the seed is planted. I&c best time to remedy wasting conditions in the human body is before the evil is too deep rooted. At the first evi- ' dence of loss of flesh j Scott's Emulsion should be taken immediately. There is noth| -ing that will repair wasted tissue more \ \ quickly or replace lost flesh more abundantly than Scott's Emulsion.
