Miss hillie Duriss has returned home after an absence of three ? months. She has been teaching ! school. \W are glad to see her hack at her old place as Sabbath school teacher. Her class seemed lost with out her. Prof. W. N. McCailly attended Sunday school Sunday, "ll seemed almost like coming homo" lo him, although it has been quito a while since he left us. Mis quondam pupils have grown up and many of them married. Ile has been "nominated" for our teacher for another year. Mr. Willie .M. Carey, of Asheville, X. C., is visiting his sister, Mrs. C. C. Malone. Miss Hortic Whit worth, of Geor gia, is visiting the Misses Whit worth, of this place, this week. There was a singing given last Sun day night in her honor, which those who attended seemed to enjoy very much. Miss Mela Duriss is spending some lime in Toccoa with her uncle, Dr. Mack. There was a candy stew at the residence of Mr. h rank Barton's Sat unlay night. .Mrs. Mary ."Malone ami .Miss I.ula /nella, are visiting friends ami rela tives in Columbia this week.

Mr. .lames Malone lost a line young mule md long since. Our prayer meeting still continues to meet every Wednesday night. We wish that more would attend. Some of our young men were quito bashful last Sunday night. They could not venture in a room full of girls, bul stood off and peeped 1 brough the cracks. "Aunt Ulinda," an old negress known all over the eoiuilv, died yesterday after, a lom.'; illness. Mr. Tom Marci has bought M r. A. P. Marers place.

DKAK CoUKIKlt: As 1 have a little leisure lime, I will give you a few items from these paris. The air is coed ami invigorating, bul not cold. The fanners of this section are feeling joyous on account <>f the un usually good yield of corn and other crops. News is scarce in our section, as no one has boen married or com mitted an offence against the laws of | the Stale lately. On Sunday, November Kith, the protracted melding at Bethel church was closed and thc Lord's Supper administered. Three new members were received into the church, The stillness of the air is disturbed nightly by the faiinqrs' hounds in (piest of the palatable 'possum. Who doesn't like 'possum anyhow? The people of this section 'nave about finished gathering crops and are preparing for cold weather. The leaves are nearly all on the ground. So il is about time for the hunting season to come. Winter is coining and all should have some good paper to keep them from being tired during the long winter evenings. Well, why not sub scribe for the Cor Kl Kit, that old re liable county journal ? Our young gents quite often chase the wily fox and the cunning coon over the mountains and catch them. Quite a number of our citizens at tended court last week. The early frost killed the cotton bolls which were not matured, thus ' cutting off the cotton crop to a great extent, ("inners report a very light yield, judging hy the number of bales which they have ginned. The fanners are sewing oats and I wheat in considerable quantities. Miss Alice C. .Iones' school has been closed temporarily on account of her health. We hope this nour ishing school will be re-opened at lin early day. Our settlement is all right, except that it is sadly deficient in post office accommodations. We need a post olliee badly, for it is inconvenient for our people to go nine or ten miles lo Walhalla for their mail. We do not remember of having seen ll season as well suited on au average lo the farmers for the pur pose of gat hering crops. Some "old residents" say we are "gobi' lo have some mighty cold weather." Well, who ever did see a w inter without cold weal her ? There seems to have been a very light crop of sugar cane made in this section this year. Wo think cane is a paying crop, though. Turnips do not seem to have done well this year, as a rule. This is not a very important crop, but turnip "greens" can be called a luxury sometimes. Cabbage was a failure with many of our fanners this year. It is now time for the good peo ple to lay in ll good supply of wood, al least tho air feels (hat way. There being nothing else lo say a< present, I will close. M. STATU oi- On io, ( MTV OK TOI.I no, i F.i ? A- ( oi .N n. s. s, ( Frank .1.

Tho following lotter WO? writton by Senator Hampton to Postmaster General Wanamaker in reference to | the appointment of a postmaster for Columbia. Tho Senator sent a copy of it to Postmaster Gibbes, and hy direction of its author, Major Gibbes handed this copy to tho Columbia correspondent of the Arewsan<l Cou rier for publication. It is known io bo a fact, says thal correspondent, although the Senator does not slate it in his letter to the Postmaster General, that he was told by Wanamaker months ago that Mr. lid win V. Gary, a moderate Repub lican of this city, who lind received strong endorsement from the busi ness community, should succeed Major Gibbes as Postmaster. In this also the head of thc Postotlice De partment failed to keep his word. Mr. Clayton, an "Independent," was appointed for a reason which may bo guessed. Senator Hampton's pen is pitiless, as Sherman and others have found before now. His letter to Wanama ker, which follows, will maintain his reputation ns an expert exposer of hypocrisy and cant : Gi.KNN Au,ION, Miss., Nov. 8, 1SS9. Hon. John Wanamaker.-Sir: The enclosed extract from a South Carolina paper has caused ino great surprise, for perhaps you may re member, if your memory is not treacherous, your assurance to me a few days ago that Mr. Gibbes should not bc removed until the expiration of his term, in February next. Not only did you do this, but you volun tarily assured me that inasmuch as Columbia was my postoflice you would, when a successor to Mr. Gibbes was to be appointed, consult me. It is a matter of small importance, lo nie who lakes the place of Mr. Gibbes, Iud as I informed him, in passing through Columbia, of tho promise you had made, you may per haps, understand how your action has placed ino in a false position. Hut it is fortunate for me that Mr. Gibbes will know that I, at least, told him the truth, though I was previously deceived in believing what was said to me. I shall know better in future what reliance lo place on statements emanating from the same source. The newspapers slate that besides managing the groat department over which you preside, you arc running a Sunday school in Philadelphia, and it occurs to me that you might with prolit to yourself select as the most appropriate subject of lec ture to your pupils the instructive story of Ananias and Sapphira. This would give you a fine field for your eloquence in explaining to your young charges (he importance of confining themselves lo tho truth, except where some fancied advant age might be obtained over a politi cal opponent. I am your obedient servant, WAUK HAMPTON. Have Courage. Il conduces much to our content if we puss by those things which happen to our trouble, and consider what is pleasant and prosperous, that by the representation of the better the worse may be blotted out. If I be overthrown in my suit al law, yet my house is left me still, and my land, or I have a virtuous wife, or hopeful children, or kimi friends, or good hopes. If I have lost one child, il may be I have two or throe still left me. Knjoy tho present, whatsoever it may be and be not solicitous (or the future, for if you take your foot from the present standing, and thrust it forward to ward to-morrow's event, you are in a restless condition; it is like refus ing lo quench your present thirst by fearing you shall want a drink the next day. If to-morrow you shall w ant, your sorrow would conic time enough, though you do not hasten it; let your trouble tarry till its own time comes.

To tho Members of tho Alliiuico in South Carolina.-Brethren : Wo are approaching the close of the sec ond year of tho Jato Trust War. The trust is crippled hut not defeat ed. It is organizing anew so us to elude tho State laws against trusts, and tho question now is, "What aro wo going to do about it ?" Will we now submit, ask pardon and plead for mercy, or will wo at once arrange for thc manufacturo of enough standard cotton bagging, on tho best terms possible, to cover every bale of Alliance colton in tho State, and co-operating with our brethren in other States the entire crop of the cotton States next year, and in do ing so establish a now manufacturing industry-all our own-defeat tho Jute Trust, and secure from the Cot ton Fxohange of tho world an hon est tare regulation ? Lot each Sub-Alliance in the State, at its next regular meeting, express its preference and have its secretary report to mc its action. I shall bc thankful for any information or sug gestions beal ing on the question. If we are to continue and succeed in this light we should lose no time. We hope to hear from every Sub Allianco in the State before thu 1st day of December, so that our posi tion may bc known before the meet ing of our national organization. We hope soon to have our State business exchange in condition lo make contra?is for us. Fraternally, K. T. STACKIIOUSK, President S. C. F. A. A Creamery near Pendleton. A correspondent of the Greenville News gives the following under date of November 7th : "1 [nnipshire Farm," near this place is now undergoing inproveinents foi a dairy and stoek farm by its owner, .1. C. Stabling. Among the new improvements and features of inter est are a creamery outfit that hal just arrived from Vermont and will bc in operation by the 1st of Janu ary or Indore, and a new "milking parlor" just, ii ll ?shed which is a new feature of tho dairy farm and origi nat with its projector. This "milk ing parlor" is detached from al other buildings and located at a con venient distance between the cov barns, and is used exclusively fo milking purposes. This buildini is 10x20 feet and has two milking stanchions, where two cows can h milked at tho same time. Thcs< milking stanchions are provided will "anti-voidillg attachments" (a kim of clasp thal is dropped down acres the spine and Hank of the cows. The building is kept as clean am nie?, comparatively speaking, as parlor, and is entirely free from foil odors that pollute milk when milk'mj is done in a filthy place.

Now wc have a few words to say of far mers' wives. Thc kindly good mis tress of the household of every far mer, God bless them, they aro tho sources of all comfort in this world, and will certainly occupy a very prominent place in tho good part of tho picture in thc world to come. From the Good Book we learn that mother Eve was the first Agri culturist's wife, and v/e re&d that this same Eve was created as a help meet to Adam, which is apparently a mistake in the text, and should, as it turned out to be, for a "cook and general maid of all work for Adam." Hy the same account we set Adam down, a savage, as he was, as a sneak of a husband, moan enough to at tempt to cast thc burden of his sins on Eve, and tho lazy scamp doubt less reclined in thc Blinde allowing Eve to pluck and prepare thc lucious fruits on which he lived 'and fat tened, and if the weather was warm and from the very first day of her Creation Bbc w as doubtless compelled to trot for cool water for her lazy lord and master every few moments of the day. The fig leaf covering is doubtless another error of the text, if at all incredulous apply a fig leaf to your own nakedness. Eve doubtless made her first apron covering from leaves both broader and smoother than the fig leaves and from this same dress she learned her first les son in cutting and fitting, sewing and making upon which her chil dren have much improved in ages, until now they are adepts in spin ning, weaving, cutting, fitting and making, quilting, patching and darn ing. Perhaps Adam treated' his wife well. Perhaps he treated her like our friend Willie said his neighbor Handy did his wife. Why, says Willie, you never saw such a kind man to .his wife as Handy is. Will you believe it, he lets that woman draw all the water, cut the wood, dig the potatoes, hoe the gardon and corn patch, milk the cow, feed tho pigs, and work at whatever she pleases. He never interferes with her <jr makes her stop, while he sits quietly in the shade and smokes his pipe. And unfortunately it often so happens with a farmer's wife. She is allowed to do all the work she can, and often expected to do move. A man's work is from sun to sun, a waman's work never ends. Up at dawn she cooks, she sweeps, sho digs, she sews, she dusts, she scrubs, she churns, nurses the baby, caren for the larger children-if perchance she has a moment to take a Beat her lap is filled by some heavy cub of a child, while she plies her busy fin gers knitting "to save time." And late at night and last, as her lord and master rests from his loil and snores aloud she over-hauls the rent? and mends and repairs for the wear and tear of another day, and then to bed, no not to rest, as at every rest less baby's turn, the mother's care comes to soothe it ami try to put to rest the sleepless child. Such is the good woman, the far mer's wife. From her all blessings How. .She is the mother of nations, of great men, of soldiers, salors, and ol' us all-decidedly the best of all (?od's creation. Sho is never treat cJ with thc respect and considera tion which is her due. The fact is, in which is generally called society, she is ignored and not acknowledged -is classed as only a farmor's wife. Scott's beautiful pieturo of Dundie Dhnont's good wife, Alie, was drawn from real lifo. Wo ourselves have icon this same Alic ruling a fanner's Imuschold more than once. A thrifty farmer always has a good wife, and always treats her with kindly care and consideration. Alie, i thrifty wife, when married to ft nan not innately worthless, always nakes him a thrifty farmer. Tho successful management of a farm is n more oases duo to the farmer's ,vifo than to the farmer himself. A FA RM RR. Is Consumption Incurable! Rend tho following: Mr. C. II.
