WHO KNOWS N-IIO.ME QUESTION.
Who knows where pins and needles goWhere
all the buttons stray?
Who knows where all the pennies go,
That somehow get away ?
Who knows how all the china breaks
That wasn't touched at all?
How baby gets so black a bruise,
Yet never gets a fall ?
Who knows whence all the fashions come,
And, when they dissappear,
Why one brief month should make a fright
Of what was "such a dear?"
Who knows little bills can swell
To such prodigious size?
Who knows, indeed, what's going on
Beneath his very eyes ?
Who knows just where her husband goes
When "business" keeps him out ?
Who knows when best to wear a smile,
And when to wear a pout ?
Who knows the time to face the fact

Who knows how best to speak her mind,
And how to hold her tongue?
Who knows the most convenient day
To bring a friend to dine ?
Who knows the half of what he spends
On clubs, cigars and wine?
Who knows one bonnet cannot last
A woman half her life ?
Who knows the woman is the same
When sweetheart turns to wife?
Who knows why all the pretty girls
Are often last to go ??
How all the ugly women wed
Who never nave a beau ?
Why small men fancy wives so large,
And large men fancy small ?
Who knows, in fact, how half the world
Was ever matched at all ?
Who knows how far to trust a friend?
How far to hate a foe ?
Just when to speak a kindly "Yes,"
And when a sturdy "No ?"
Who knows ? The grim old Grecian sage
Says, gravely, "For myself,
The wisest man in all the world
Is he who knows himself."

THAT KAL1KER DRESS.
One day, not long ago, an old chap fron
the interior, accompained by his wife, enterei
a Vicksburg dry goods store, and after look
ing arouud for a moment he said to the clerk
"Pile yer best kaliker down here afore me
for Mirandy wants a dress."
As the pieces were tumbling down he con
tinued:
"Mirandy's been purty good this summer
and she can have her pick of the best kalike
in the store."
The old man felt of the different pieces an<
his wife tossed them over, and finally thej
settled on a particular piece and he said:
"Cut her off nine yards o' that."
"What! nine yards!" echoed the wife.
"That's what I said, Mirandy."
"I can't get a kaliker dress with a loop up
behind to it out'n no nine yards!" she ex
claimed, turning pale with dismay.
"Who said anything about loops?" he in
quired. "Haven't you always got a kalike]
dress out'n nine yards!"
?v?a Knf fKo fucKinn hna nhflniypH. TV(
got to have fourteen yards now."'
"Have, eh? I'd like to see myself buying
fourteen yards!"
"Then you won't ?"
"Not if I die for it."
"You are an old miser!" she hotly ex
claimed.
"Don't fool with the alligator, Mirandy,'
he warned.
"Oh, I guess you'd better buy the dress,'
put in the clerk, hoping to make peace.
"Shan't do it!" growled the man.
The woman walked down the store, looked
into the back yard, turned and called out:
"Come here a minute, William."
"What yer want?" he inquired.
"Come here, darling. I want to whisper tc
you." she continued.
He followed her among the boxes. Hei
face wore a smile, and he suspected nothing,
When he was clear of the door she turned and
seized him by the windpipe, rushed him back
ward and flopped him over a pile of boxes.
"Mirandy, I'll pound blazes out'n you, foi
this!" hoarsely whispered the man.

she replied.
"Take that," he grasped, trying to kick her
He made a heavy struggle, but she clunj
to his throat, and flopped him as often as h<
partially rose. After realizing the fight wai
foul, he faintly inquired :
"Mirandy, what's your object?"
"A kaliker dress," she promptly responded
"Nine yards?" he asked.
"Plump fourteen," she responded.
"Say twelve, Mirandy."
"Staight fourteen and no gouging," she an
swered.
He made a great effort to throw her off
but she banged him down and landed a blov
on his nose in addition.
"Mirandy," he gasped.
"Well, William."
"Tell that young man to cut off that kali
ker."
"That's right, William ; that's purty," sh>
said, loosening her grip and extending he
hand.
"You won't say anything, Mirandy?"
"Not a whoop."
He scrambled over the back fence, and sh>
went in and had the full number of yard
cut off
When ready to go, the old man was a

"Mirandy took me by surprise, but its al
right; charge that kaliker to my account.'

RICE.
Rice has been cultivated in South Carolina
for about two hundred years. It was brought
{to the State from Madagascar, shortly after
j the State was first settled. As an article of
food, there is no need that one word be said
I about it. With a large proportion of the in|
habitants of the State, rice has, from its first
j introduction, formed a principal article of
food, as well as a Btaple article of export.
Notwithstanding this fact, there are multitudes
of people in the up country who never saw a
stalk of rice growing. Nearly every body in
South Carolina eats rice, but only those in the
southern section of the State are engaged in
raising it. The reason of this is the mistaken
notion with regard to the nature of rice.
A MAnr. Itn nAiinfrtr nnnnlo rronorfl 11 ir the
j iliuuug nit up UUU1I l?i J pwpiv 0WMV* f ? .
notiou prevails that rice will grow only in a
swamp. A lagoon, aud a rice field with them,
means nearly the same thing. This is a mistaken
notion. Rice, sufficient for home consumption,
can be raised on any farm in the
State. It will grow on spots of land that are
not fit for scarcely any thing else. The rice,
when raised, is said by dear lovers of the article,^
be better than what is kept for sale in
the provision stores.
Remember, we are not advocating the production
of rice as a crop from thesale of which
to make money. We advise its production
for the sole purpose of saving money. If we
can raise rice, we can raise it for home conB
sumption cheaper than we can buy it. The
Yankee theory is, make and sell every thing
you can, and buy as little as possible! This
- is orthodox doctrine. There is recuperation
in it. The theory of South Carolina is, sell
a nothing but cotton and buy every thing else!
i This is heterodox doctrine. There is decay
- and death in it.
+.
, Education among Farmers.?It is a fact
shown before the British Parliament, that
- while the rental of land in Ireland had
doubled during the previous hundred years,
and that of hmglana treDiea, tne rental or
r Scotland had sextupled itself in the same
time. Thi9 is attributed mainly to the vastly
1 superior school system which Scotland has
j possessed, and the skill and enterprise it has
fostered among the people. It is a fact that
a truck farmer within a dozen miles of any of
our large cities, will get a clean profit of two
or three hundred dollars from an acre of land,
- while the average old style farmer hardly gets
- that amount of profit from his hundred acres
or more. These facta are worth studying by
- the still large class who do not see the use of agr
ricultural papers and teachiug, etc., and think
muscle is the main thing in successful farming.
J The truck farmer studies his markets, knows
what is wanted, learns how to raise it, when
\ and where to sell it, believes in manure, buys
it, believes in knowing all about his business,
takes his paper, reads and thinks, don't kick
at facts because they are printed, keeps his
- eyes open, and drinks in knowledge from men
and books. He keeps learning and succeeds
" in his business. There is still a large class of
our farming population completely stereo'
typed. Many take no agricultural paper, atteud
no faire, no farmers' clubs, try no experiments,
have no faith in improved tools aud
I stock, and are hardly able to tell at the end
of the year whether they lose or gain in their
business. Success in cultivating the soil is already,
and is to "be more and more, dependeut
> upou brains. Men who read and think most,
plan most wisely, and execute most skilfully,
? will succeed best. We need all the help we
. can get from the teachings of science, from
I journals, from fairs aud clubs, as well as from
. the daily experience of the fields.?American
Agriculturist.
Watering Horses After Meals.?A
' full drink of water immediately after being
fed, should never be allowed to horses. When
. water is drank by them, the bulk of it goes
; directly to the large intestines aud little of it
J is retained in the stomach. In passing through
3 the stomach, however, the water carries considerable
quantities of the contents to where it
lodges in the intestines. If, then, the food of
. the stomach is washed out before it is digested,
no nourishment will be derived from the
feed. In Edinburgh, some old horses were
fed with split peas, and then given water im
mediately before being killed. It was found
that the water had carried the peas from fifty
to sixty feet into the intestines, where no div
gestion took place at all. Mr. Cassie is quite
correct in the views set forth regardiug the
injurious effects of large quantities of water
swallowed immediately after eating. A small
quantity of fluid swallowed along with, or immediately
after dry food, beneficially softens
e it and assists in its division and digestion.
r An inordinate supply of water, or of watery
fluid, on the other hand, proves injurious. It
dilutes unduly the digestive secretions ; it mechanically
carries onward the imperfectly die
gested food, and thus interferes with the props
er functious of the canal, and excites indigestion
and diarrhoea. These untoward effects
t are especially apt to occur where horses freely
fed and too liberally watered, are shortly put
1 to tolerably quick work. There is no more
" infallible method of producing colic, diarrhoea,
and iuflammatiou of the bowels. The
* horse is not peculiar in this effect; dogs, and
eveu their roasters, similarly suffer from copift
ous draughts of water immediately after eat?
ing much solid food.

* Remedy tor Smut in Wheat.?A farmer
in Ireland whose wheat was much affected
! by smut succeeded in remedying this evil by
t j adopting a simple preventive, which he learnied
had been practiced successfully in Flanders
for many years The remedy is a steep
composed of sixty pounds of quicklime and
thirty pounds of salt, made into a solution
sufficient to cover 600 pounds of wheat.
In order to test this remedy, he procured
- .*-J ...1 1 I ..1,1

f I after steeping for different periods, he sowed
a i 112 pounds divided into four equal parts on
equal portions of laud.
t No. 1, merely steeped so as to cleanse it.
No. 2, steeped in the solution 12 hours,
j No. 3, steeped 24 hours.
No. 4, steeped 48 hours,
t At reaping the No. 1 was dreadfully black ;
No. 2 had a good deal of black in it; No. 3
lf none at all; Nos. 3 and 4 swelled very much
|. but did not burst; No. 2 swelled also, but not
u so much. Seeing that No. 3, which was
steeped for twenty-four hours, succeeded as
; well as No. 4, he has practiced steeping for
e ! twenty-four hours, and has continued to do so
11 with perfect success for thirty-two years. He
" : has not had the slightest appearance of smut
e j in his wheat since he commenced using this
i | remedy. After taking the wheat out of the
,t j steep he lets it lie in a heap to drain. In
it | broken weather he has kept it for ten days
it j after being steeped, turning it every day,
I without any bad results.
This remedy has also been tried by so many
a j in this country, and found successful, that it
Q ! is fair to consider it as an established antidote.

BLESS THE LORD.
When God blesses us, and we bless God, the j
same word is used ; but its import is very dif-:
ferent. When God blesses us, he bestows
' # j
some good upon us. The blessing of God
makes us rich?it makes us happy. When 1
; God withholds his blessing, we are poor and |
j miserable amidst a superabundance of all the
j luxuries of the world. All the gold and ail- j
I ver and preciourstones in the world can no ;
more make us ftch and happy, than the filth '
that clings to our feet. The blessing of God i
raiseth the poor out of the dust; the needy out:
of the dunghill, and sets him with princes. The I
j blessing of God makes the heart rejoice. The |
: iiArlinirlnol mkn ronoi troa tllfl KWdintT nf (rOfl. !
| receives something which no words can even I
: faintly describe. When God blesses us, he
| makes us great and good and happy.
The word bless has a very different meaning
! when it is said we bless God. We can neither
I add to nor take away from the essential greatj
ness of God. Nothing that we can do or say,
I can, in the slightest degree, add to either the
greatness, the goodness, or the happiness of
God. Heis wholly, independent of any and
all his creatures. Nothing that any creature
can do, can thwart his purposes or disconcert
his plans. We can neither detract from his
glory by sinning, nor can we add to his empire
by rendering homage to bis sovereignty.
God reigns over the inhabitants of sin's dark
domain, and there is then none that dare say
to him why or what doest thou? God is the
sovereign proprietor of the universe. His
sway is over devils and wicked men, as well
as over saints and angels. Hence, when we
curse God, we take nothing from him; and
when we bless him, we add nothing to him.
No creature nor all the creatures in the universe
can neither make God greater nor less
than he is. The choirs of angels add nothing
to the essential greatness or glory of God.
When, therefore, we bless God, we only express
a desire that God be acknowledged by
ourselves and every other creature to be what
he is. When the Psalmist said: "Bless the
Lord, 0 ray soul," he only gave expression of
the pious yearnings of his soul to adore, rev
erence and extol God. We may bless God
in a variety of ways, but all may be expressed
in one siDgle sentence. We bless God by
obeying his word, cheerfully and promptly,
and by submissively yielding to the providential
dealings of God with us. Our whole
duty is discharged by obeying God's law.
This is all that God asks us to do. "To obey
is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than
the fat of rams, for rebellion iB as the sin
of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity
and idolatry." 1 Sam. 15 : 23.
The Bible, in a most minute way, specifies
our duty, under all possible circumstances.
It matters not where we are, nor what may be
our surroundings, we have only prayerfully
to consult the Bible, and we will be able to
discover what God would have us do. It is
plain. No great learning is required to understand
its sacred pages. It is minute in all
its specihcatious. We never lay it down disappointed.
All we have to do to adore the
Lord, is to obey the precepts of the Bible.
[ The individual who, in his soul, would bless
the Lord, says, "0, how I love thy law; thy
testimonies have I taken as a heritage forever.
[ The law of thy mouth is better to me than
thousands of gold and silver. How sweet are
thy words unto my taste; yea, sweeter than
honey to my mouth." The 119th Psalm is
full of the precious estimate which the individual
who would blessthe Lord, places upon
the Bible.
The providential dealings of God with the
humau family are often dark and mysterious,
but are nevertheless holy, just and good. Disease
and death take hold of the young and
promising, change their countenances and
send them away ; whilst the ungodly sinner
I is spared to curse the world until his head is
covered with gray hairs. Many a lovely bud
is plucked before its rich leaves are unfolded.
It dies before it blooms. The infant is snatched
from its mother's bosom. This we cannot
understand ; but will not the Judge of all the
earth do right?
This is uot all. The poet uttered a solemn
truth when he said, "Man's inhumanity toman,
makes countless thousands mourn." Many a
wife has had her life made indescribably
miserable by the profligate conduct of the man
who solemnly pledged to love, cherish and
defend her. The thoughts of the trials of such
a being 611s the heart with sadness which
i cannot be described. The circumstances unJ
der which some of the human family are
placed, are iuhnitely more distressing than
death. In comparison with them, the grim
monster loses all his frightful aspects. Under
such circumstances, how are we to
bless God? We answer, by patiently submitting
to the dispensations of Providence.
In the day of prosperity, rejoice; but
| in the day of adversity, consider. These
sore trials spring not from the ground. They
, have a legitimate cause. Our duty is to cou;
sider. The Psalmist admonishes us "to trust
| in the Lord and do good." God is no more
I mighty than he is merciful. In the midst of
I these sore trials, through which we are called
; to pass, we occupy a very trying position for
: poor, weak human nature; but a most favorable
position to show the power of God's
, right hand to sustain his people. Jacob was
i a good man, but he showed his ignorance
j when he said "all those thiuga are against
" n.jtrift tea a a niiiiiQ mnn hnf. hppvhihi
J ted the weakness of human nature when he
I said, "I shall one day fall by the hand of
| .Saul." With consequences we have nothing
to do. It really was noue of David's business j
j whether he fell by the hand of Saul or not.
God chose hira to accomplish a certain work,
and pointed out to him how that work was to j
j be performed. David's whole duty consisted j
in obeying orders. For this and this alone j
he was accountable.
i This is the case with us all. Do we desire j
1 to know how we may bless the Lord, we have
the desired information when we are told to
obey orders. To do this, may clothe us in
j "sheep-skins and goat-skins," it may drive us
: to "dens and caves in the earth." It may
Men anhiect us to death : but we will ulti
I mately, if we are faithful uutil the end, be
crowned not with perishable laurels, but with
a crown of righteousness. "Bless the Lord O I
my soul * * bless the Lord ye his angels,!
bless the Lord all his works in all places of
his dominions, bless the Lord, 0 ray soul," j
Psalm 103.
B?, The true life begins only when self is :
lost sight of?when we devote ourselves to
others. This is the most difficult of reforms ;
yet is it also the greatest, as it removes the
I most formidable obstacle to the spread of,
i Christianity.
The bigot is a person who thinks for
himself and allows you the liberty of agreeing
I with him.
YORKVILLE ENQUIRER,
VOLUME 22.-1870.
THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER, which, on
the 1st of January, 1870, will enter upon the Twenty-second
volume, is a large, twenty-eight column
paper, handsomely printed on clear, legible
type, and devoted to the Political, Social, Agricultural
and Commercial Interests of the
South. In announcing the new volume, we are
enabled to promise increased attractions in all the
different departments of the paper, conspicuous j
among them being the Serial Stories, written j
expressly for the Enquirer.
As a non-partisan, independent family newspa- j
per, the future editorial conduct of the Enquirer ,
can be as well judged by the pastas by any promise
which we might now feel disposed to make.
An experience of thirty-five years in the newspaper
business?of which time at least one-half has
been unremittinglj' devoted to the management
of the Enquirer?fully convinces the proprietor
that the plan he adopted on assuming control of
the paper, is the correct mode of journalism in the
nrnwnnt iliiv TIir fruA missinn of the newsnaner i
r*vwv V ?? ?? - I r is
to place before the public facts as they may exist,
unbiased by partisan feelings or sinister motives ;
and the propriety of this course is fully attested,
not only by tho success of the Enquirer, which
can truthfully claim the largest circulation of any
country newspaper in the South, but also by many
other of the most popular and widely circulated
papers of the day. The course thus indicated we
shall continue to pursue, aiming to publish a
LITERARY ANI) FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
which shall be a welcome visitor to the Home Circle,
and acceptable alike to all classes of readers.
Hence, the news department of the Enquirer,
whether of mattersat home or abroad?political or
otherwise?will be conducted with the utmost care,
and only facts as they seem to exist, will be presented,
free from sectional or party bias.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT.
The original Skriai. Stories for the new volume
will possess unusual interest?being from the
pens of the most popular serial writers. With
the tirst number will be commenced a highly excitingand
thrilling storv of California and frontier
life, by Mrs. Henry Dkas, entitled
PICCIOLA,
Which, as a vivid portrayal of life on the Pacific
coast, with adventure, crime, temptation and triumph,
is one of the most sensational, yet captivating
and pleasing stories of Western life yet
written. This story will be followed by others
throughout the year, of which we can mention
the following as now ready: "THE IRON
CHEST," a story of domestic life, abounding in
mystery and secresy; and a racy, spirited and romantic
story entitled "LOST ANI) FOUND; Or,
thk White Fawn of tiik Forest." Inaddition
to these, other stories of unusual interest will be
published during the volume.
HISTORICAL SKETCHES.
The Historical Sketches of the Early
History of South Carolina will constitute an
important feature of the volume. These Sketches
are written by Rev. Robert Lathan, and commencing
with the earliest settlement of the State
in colonial times, gradually trace its rise and progress.
To the writing and compilation of these
Sketches the author has devoted much thought
and extensive research. Besides the colonial history,
they will contain the stirring scenes and important
events, the anecdotes and incidents?legendary
and authentic?which have never before
been fully published, connected with the Revolutionary
history of the State. Much of the material
of these Sketches being traditional?many of
the events portrayed having never been in print?
and written in Mr. Latiian's easy, familiarstyle,
they will be read with peculiar satisfaction, not
only in our own State, but by every one having a
just appreciation of the history of a noble ancestry
in their struggle for liberty and independence.
CHESTER CORRESPONDENCE.
To meet the demands of our increasing circulation
in Chester connlv, we have engaged the services
of Brainerd McLure, Esq., who will conInlnit.
.1 Inltnf r\f ixirrrpunfinfloiwa from C!|-f>stor
regularly each week. These letters are devoted
entirely to Chester affairs?to the interests of the
town and county?and written in the racy and
graphic style peculiar to Mr. McLure, they cannot
fail to be of interest to our readers in Chester,
as well as elsewhere in the State.
THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
In addition to tho above features, Rev. Mr. Lathan
will continue his regular contributions to
the "Sabbath Reading," and tho "Children's Department,"
which, under his management for the
past six years, have been an important attraction ;
and with the usual melange of Miscellaneous
Reading adapted to all tastes; the Agricultural
Department, containing practical and useful information
for the farmorand house-wife; a col umn
of Humorous Reading every week ; "Scraps and
Facts," embracing light current topics; acompend
of the News Abroad and at Home; Correspondence;
Commercial and Market Reports; Editorial
Articles upon appropriate subjects, intended
to promote the prosperity and welfare of our
people, we hope to make the Enquirer replete
as an entertaining and instructive Family Journal.

A NEW FAMILY STORY PAPER !
THE FAMILY VISITOR.
In
order to meet the requirements of a large
class of readers who take no interest in much of
the reading matter with which the inside pages of
the ENQUIRER are necessarily filled, we have
determined to commence the publication, on the
first of January, 1876, of a new paper, to be called
the FAMILY VISITOR, which, besides containing
matter prepared expressly for it, will also be
made up from the LITERARY AND MISCELLANEOUS
DEPATMENTS OF TIIE ENQUIRER,
thus affording a purely Literary and Miscellaneous
publication, entirely devoid of local and other
matter unadapted to the tastes of the general
reader. To accomplish this object, therefore,
the FAMILY VISITOR wili contain no matter
of a local character, either of the affairs of this or
adjoining counties, nor will there be any advertisements
of a local nature admitted in its columns.
Tt is the proprietor's purpose, by entirely excluolisaci
of moiioK f/-v ronrlni* t lin P A MTT.V I
uiu^ diJia i-iaaa ut uiabuvi, vu iouuui vuv & ?
VISITOR an entertaining, instructive Home
Companion in every family throughout the land.
THE LITERARY FEATURES. J
The same Serial Stories published in the EN"- j
QUIRER will lie transferred to the columns of j
the FAMILY VISITOR and among other origi- ]
nal Stories will be published during the year, i
"PICCIOLA," a tale of California and frontier !
life, by MRS. HENRY DEAS; "THE IRON !
CHEST;" "LOST AND FOUND; OR, THE ]
WHITE FAWN OF THE FOREST"-stories of j
unusual merit and replete with dramatic plot and 1
stirring incident. In addition to the Serial Sto- 1
ries, the FAMILY VISITOR will also contain ;
short Talcs and Sketches, completo in the num- |
hers containing them. j
HISTOHTCALSKETCHESOF SOUTH CARQLIIA.!
These admirable Historical Skethes will be published
in the FAMILY VISITOR. They are !
written by Rkv. RonKRT Lathan, who has bestowed
upon the task much thought and exten- ,
sive research. Tracing the rise and progress of
the State from colonial times, the Sketches will
also contain the stirring scenes and important !
events, the anecdotes and incidents?legendary ,
and authentic?connected with the early history J
of the State, and which have never before been ,
fully published. Much of the material of the
Sketches?especially that relative to the middle
and upper portions of the State?being traditional,
many of the events portrayed having never i
been in print, and written in Mr. Lathan's easy, ,
familiar style, they will be read with peculiar interest
by all classes; while no more entertaining
or instructive history could be placed in the hands
of the youth, or those who would inform them?1

THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
THE RELIGIOUS DEPARTMENT.?This Department
of the FAMILY VISITOR will be conducted
by Rev. Mr. Lathan, and in addition to
choice selections, will also contain original articles,
on appropriate subjects, from his pen ; and
while a high moral and religious tone will pervade
this Department, nothing shall be admitted of a .
sectarian or controversial character.
CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT.?A due portion
of tho FAMILY VISITOR will be appropriated
for Children and Youth, and their Depart- j
ment will be prepared with special care to furnish I
innocent amusement, and to inculcate knowledge i
and sound moral principles.
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.?The j
Farmer's Department will be prepared with spe- (
cial reference to the needs of Agriculture and Hor- ]
ticulture in the South, containing only practical t
articles on the subjects discussed. 1
HUMOROUS DEPARTMENT.?To this De- 1
partment will be admitted the Wit and Humor of .
the day, including Anecdote, Repartee and Sentiment,
free from coarseness or inelegancies.
Besides the above leading leatures, me r aiuiLY
VISITOR will contain Items on light current j
topics; a compendium of the freshest and most (
important General News; Editorials on appropri- |
ate subjects, intended to promote the welfare and !
prosperity of our people; and a variety of other {
matter interesting and instructive to all. 1
TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.?The FAMILY .
VISITOR will be printed bi-weekly on a large,
twenty-eight-column sheet, (same size of the
YORKV1LLE ENQUIRER,) and will be furnished
at the low price of $1.50 per annum, mailed J
free of postage. This being the lowest price at (

Ware Premiums will be from New York; on "
Webster's Dictionaries from Philadelphia; on
the Cooking Stoves from Greensboro, N.C.; and
on the Sewing Machines from Baltimore, Md.
THE COOKING STOVES manufactured atour
works in Greensboro, N. 0., Rive universal
satisfaction wherever introduced. They are made
>r the BEST SCOTCH PIG METAL, with heav- .
er and thicker plate than any other Stove in the
market, and consequently will the longer witliitand
heat and hard usage. They are of hand
some pattern and neat finish, and warranted equal '
n everv other respect to any Cooking Stove sold
in the tfnited States, while it is confidently claimed
:hat they are the CHEAPEST. All the usual
pieces ot ware and cooking utensils are furnished
with each Stove. An important consideration
with purchasers is the fact that our patterns and
dzes are never changed. Should a piece get accilentallv
broken at any time, wo can replace it at
the mere cost of casting. Not simply because it I
is a home production, liuton account of its intrinsic
merits as an article of household economy, do i
we ask the patronage of home purchasers. Jlore '
than ONE THOUSAND of these Stoves are now
in use, and among many others having them we
respectfully refer to the following: R. E. Guthrie,
D. M. Campbell, M. H. Currence, York county;
Mrs. Elizabeth J. "Wylie, Chester; D. A. Gordon,
Guthriesville; John A. Brown, Rock Hill; B. P.
Boyd, Joseph Herndon, L. M. Grist, Yorkville.
You can save the freight from the northern cities
and the dealer's profit, which is no small item, 1
by buying of us, and at the same time get a
STOVE THAT IS MORE DURABLE than those
of northern make. The following are our prices
delivered at depot in Greensboro:

THE TEMPERANCE OBSERVER,
GREENVILLE, S, C.
To the Friendft of Temperance throughout the State :
THERE being no Temperance Journal published
in the State, the undersigned propose,
*t an early date, to establish a newspaper in
the city of Greenville, devoted to the cause and
promotion of Temperance, and designed as the
organ of the Good Templars and Sons of Temperance
and of the Temperance brotherhood of South
Carolina. In the advocacy of its principles, it
will also combine the publication of all matters
and information tending to strengthen the Temperance
orders of the Slate; such as the growth
and progress of Lodges and Divisions, statistics,
essays, stories, etc. Portions of the paper will be
devoted to general literature, news in brief, poetry,
etc., for the entertainment of the family circle.
We ask the support of the friends of Temperance
Reform, Church members and ministers of
Religion.
The size of the Observer will be 24 by 38 inches,
and the price of subscription Two Dollars per annum,
and will be issued once a week.
To guarantee the establishment of "The Temperance
Observer" at least 1,000 subscribers must
first be obtained, with the money paid in advance.
Circulars have been sent to all of the Lodges or
Good Templars, and Divisions of the Sons of
Temperance, and Grand Officers in this State, and
a prompt co-operation is invited.
If we receive sufficient subscriptions, the first
number will lie issued early in November.
