FOB THE HEATHEN.
The other day, when the wind whistled a
sad toned jig around the Battery, a little old
man entered the saloon in that vicinity, and
asked the bar keeper if he could leave some
tracts there.
A whole car load, if you want to, was the
prompt reply, and the little old man placed a
package on a beer table and softly said :
There's no nobler cause than the cause of j
the heathen. We should all contribute a
small share of our wordly wealth to shed the
Gospel light across the seas.
A pair of boxing gloves were softly reposing
on a table, and the little old man felt of them
and went on:
It makes me mad to see such sinful things
lying around when the cost of one glove
miorhf aorra a Qrmls in Africa.
hree or four of the boys had dropped in,
and the saloon keeper winked at them and
replied:
Do you want to earn $5 for the heathen ?
Verily I do.
Put on the gloves and knock me down, and
I'll ante up enough cash to convert a whole
regiment of African sinners.
The cause is noble, the inducement great,
mused the little old man as he toyed with the
gloves.
The boys encouraged him to go in, desiring
to see him knocked wrong end up, and he
finally got out of his overcoat with the exclamation
:
It can't be a sin to box for the cause of the
heathen.
The saloonist meant to lift him over one of
the tables at the first blow, but the blow was
warded off very handsomely, and the little
man sighed.
Ah?um ! the heathen walk in wickedness,
and they have souls to be saved !
Look out now,'said the saloonist, as he got
in a left hander.
Verily I will, and I will give thee one in
return for the heathen.
He struck a staggering blow, and the saloonist
didn't fell quite so enthusiastic as on the
start. He took the defensive, and had all the
work he could do.
That's another for the ignorant minds on
the far-off shore ! sighed the little old man, as
he knocked the saloonist against the wall.
There wasn't any science about him, but
he struck to kill, and his arms were flying
around like the spokes of a wagon wheel.
Don't crowd a feller, called the saloonist,
as he was being driven back, and he got mad
and put in his hardest Iicxs. ne meant 10
smash the little old man's nose as flat as a
window glass, but he could not do it. He
got in two or three fair hits, and was beginning
to regain his courage, when the aged
stranger sorrowfully remarked :
My friend, the heathen call, and I cannot
tarry much longer. Take this one, and may it
broaden your views on the heathen question.
Receive this one in the spirit tendered, and
you may be sure the five dollars shall be a
beacon light as far as it will go.
He delivered two sledge hammer blows,
right and left, and the saloonistgot the last on
the ear as he dodged the first. He went over
in beautiful style, and as he regained his feet,
felt in his vest pocket for the wager.
If you'll come round here to-night and do
that over again I'll double the money! he
^ growled as he paid the wager.
My road points towards Bosting, softly replied
the old man, and I cannot tarry. Let
us part friendly, for I only boxed thee for the
heathen's sake. I gave to thee, thou hast
given to the heathen, and now farewell!?San
Francisco Call.
The Damages.?A colored citizen of Ohio
maintains a family dog about six inches high
and eight inches long. The said dog never
tried to snap afiy one up until yesterday,
when he attacked a pedestrian and nipped
his leg. The pedestrian at once called the
owner of the dog out-doors and demanded
damages.
"What's de proof of de bite ?" inquired the
colored man.
"Right there," replied the victim, exhibiting
a black and blue spot.
"And what's de damage?"
"Five hundred dollars!"
"Shoo ! you can have de dog for a dollar!"
"Makes no difference," continued the man.
"I don't say that he has inflicted five hundred
dollars' worth of physical damage. I estimate
that at only two shillings, but I can't
lie awake of nights and think of hydrophobia
for no small sura."
"I can't never pay dat sum."
"Then I'll sue you."
"Very well. I'll adjourn de suit till de
bite gets well, and den whar will your proofs
be?"
The man reflected a moment and said : "I
see. We must come down to physical damages."
The colored man knocked the dog in the j
head with a spade, and as the animal kicked
its last, he remarked: "If you have been
hitren hv a do?. I don't know nuffin about it. j
I used to own a little dog, but he's dead now.
If dar's any more talk 'bout damages round
heah, I'll climb over de fence and hurt some
white man !" There wasn't any more talk.
The Doctrine of Transmission.?A Canadian,
boy in the quiet town of St. Catharines,
had been punished by his father by solitary
confinement for lying. He showed on his
release that he had been employing his time
in theological reflections, instead of using it
for self mortification. He asked his father:
"Pa, did you tell lies when you were little ?"
The father, perhaps conscience smitten,
endeavored to evade the question. But the
child persisted.
"Did you tell lies when you were little ?"
"Well, no," said the father; "but why do
you ask?"
"Did ma tell lies when she was little ?"
"I don't know myson; you must ask her."
"Well," retorted the young hopeful, "one of
you must have told lies, or you could not have j
had a boy that would do it."
A Sad Family.?The family had received j
a telegram to the effect that Richard, who had
been West for several years, would return to !
New York this morning with his bride, so the
family were at the depot to welcome the pair.
There was considerable hand-shaking, and
no little kissing, and Richard and his wife
passed out ahead. i
"Mar, mar, she's got red hair and big feet," j
whispered one of the boys, as he trotted beside
his mother.
Say nothing, Henry?say nothing!" she
grimly replied. "We've had measles, mumps
fire, debts and deaths, and now here comes
another great family sorrow. Seems as if the
Lord had sot down on us as a family, but
we've got to keep kicking and smiling as long
as we live!"
Where he Came From.?As the train
stopped for ten minutes, and that individual
who goes along tapping the wheels with his
hammer was passing rapidly by the smoking
car, one of the windows was hoisted and a
torrent of tobacco spit was ejected, which completely
deluged him. The machinist paused
for a moment, and wiping some of the streams
from his person, said to the offender:
"Mister, what part of the country did you
come from ?"
"Me!" said the spitter, puckering his lips
for another expectoration, "I come from Kansas."
"I thought so," said the machinist, "for if
you had lived in Massachusetts or Connecticut,
they would have had a water wheel in
your mouth long ago!"
The Question.?Two young gentlemen
were discussing whether or not etiquette demands
that a young lady, upon parting at the
gate or door, shall ask the young man to call
again. "Certainly it does," urged one.
"Certainly it doesn't," said the other. "I
go to see a young lady who knows what politeness
requires and she never asks me to call
again."

LUCERNE.
Alfalfa, as it is called in Spanish, or English,
Lucerne, (Medicago sativa) has been
known from the time of Larius. It was transplanted
from Persia to Greece about 500 years
B. C. It was extensively cultivated in Europe,
and especially in the South of France,
as a forage plant, but I am persuaded that its
value is not as fully understood and appreciated
as it should be in the South.
I have experimented, for the last eight
years, with Red Clover, Orchard Grass, Hungarian
Grass, (or German Millet) and Lu
T nlono fVio lnttar af-. t.hft hpftrl nf all
i;Cl UCt JL f/IWVV VUWaMVVwa *?v - ?...
It gives the greatest amount of green food or
hay, than any other plant we have, and with
the least trouble after the first year. I am
satisfied that Lucerne caunot be excelled for
soiling purposes. It has helped me wonderfully,
more than any other grass, for carrying
out the plan of soiling, which I adopted several
years ago.
It is well relished by all kinds of stock,
both green and dry, and is exceedingly nutritious.
In some respects it is decidedly superior to
red clover, as in being perennial, and consequently
remaining long in the soil, one seed
will last for ten years or more, producing good
and profitable crops. When once fully established
it will yield heavy crops, and may be
cut, if on rich soil, once a month. I have cut
it as often as eight times in one season. Its
yield commences much earlier than clover and
continues later in the season. It stands the
winter better than clover. Drought does not
seem to affect it. In the dryest weather, when
all other vegetation is drooping, Lucerne will
be fresh and green.
Its effect is to improve the soil rather than
exhaust it, since it sends its long fusiform roots
into the subsoil. Its roots have been known
to reach four feet down in the ground. It is
a well known fact that all leguminous, broad
leaf plants derive also a large portion of their
nutriment from the atmosphere, while the
luxuriant foliage serves to shade the soil and
thus increase fertility.
We would urge every one of our readers,
who has a horse, cow or pig,, to prepare a
small piece of ground and seed down in Lucerne
at once. The seed can be had at any
of the drug stores in Charlotte. I have ordered
some lately for some parties from Wil
son & Black, Charlotte, at fifty cents pound.
Nine years ago I paid eighty cents per pound.
To succeed in growing Lucerne, a soil neither
too light nor too stiff should be selected,
very heavily manured, broken up very deep,
if possible subsoiled, and rendered mellow by
successive plowiug and harrowing. Lucerne
may be sown either in drills or broadcast, with
or without grain. Twelve pounds of seed are
required for one acre if drilled, and twenty
pounds if sown broadcast.
I have succeeded best in sowing in thespring,
from the middle to the last of March, in drills
at a distance of sixteen inches apart, covering
the seeds lightly. The cultivation of Lucerne
is somewhat more difficult than that of
any other grass the first year.
The plants are very tender the first year,
and weeds are very injurious, and crowd out
the young plants, which are slow in starting.
For this reason sowing in drills is to be recommended,
as the hoe or cultivator can then
be used. As soon as the young plants are a
few inches high, they should be weeded carefully,
and the intervals kept clean. This
weeding and cleaning should be done several
times during the season.
Lucerne should be cut as soon as it blooms,
since, if left longer, the stalks become woody,
if cut much before, it is watery and innutritious.
One or two cuttings may be obtained
the first season on rich soil, thoroughly mel
lowed, and prepared by-careful tillage, cultivated
clean until the plants are well set.?
Rev. A. L. Stougu, in the Shelby Banner.
MILLET.
I have been growing millet with success for
a number of years; and as I think very highly
of it, and believe it would be more generally
cultivated if its good qualities were better
known, I am induced to tell what I know
about it, hoping thereby to benefit some other
farmer. What I say is about the common
millet; I have as yet had no experience with
the German variety. Millet is an annual
grass, having a soft stalk with numerous long
blades, and a fine, large head filled with nutritious
seeds a little larger than clover seed.
It is of rapid growth, and matures in eight or
ten weeks from time of seeding. When cut at
the proper time and well cured, it makes excellent
hay, as nutritious as timothy or any other
grass, I think, which is eaten greedily by cattle,
horses and sheep.
The soil best suited to this grass is a rich,
sandy loam. It will do well on any rich land
not wet or very stiff, but it must be in good
earth or well manured. It should be thor
! oughly broken with a two-horse plow and harrowed
fine, and the seed sown and harrowed
in. It is best to roll it, too, but it is not n?cessary.
On good high land, sow half bushel
of seed to the acre, but on rich bottoms I find
three pecks enough.
Millet is easily killed by frost, and should
not be sown until April, after frosts have
ceased, and may be sown from that time until
the 1st of August. By sowing before the middle
of May, I have frequently made two crops
the same year on the same land. For hay it
should be cut as soon as it has attained its "full
height, while the heads are yet green ; when
it begins to turn yellow, and ripen, it is less
valuable, and cattle do hot relish it.
On good, light highlands it will yield one
or more tons of hay per acre, and on rich low
grounds two tons at least. It yields from thirty
to sixty bushels of seed per acre. By letting
a few acres ripen a supply may be kept
UP*
I know of no objection to millet, but have
heard that some say it is injurious to horses.
Too large a feed of the ripe seed might do the
j same harm that too much of any other very
rich food would do. I think no such objection
can be raised if it is cut at the proper
j time. I have been feeding it to horses and
mules for several years, and have observed no
bad effects from its use.?F. Guy, Chesterfield
county, Va.
Beautifying Country Homes.?A wri!
terin the April Wide-Awake concludes an article
entitled "Tree-Planting for Children," as
| follows:
To those who live in the country upon farms,
j let me say?first, plant your trees about your !
| homes, then about the farm. Learn that he !
who plants a tree beautifies to that extent his j
| home and benefits every member of the family.
A country home is never beautiful with-;
j out trees, and the love which unites the faini-1
j ly is robbed of oue its happiest modes of ex- j
! pression and sympathy. In the improvidence |
i that has ever ruled in our country, in the j
I struggle to turn all things into wealth, may be j
1 found the secret of our wintry villages?the i
desert fields, the cheerless, uninviting door
! yards; and we marvel not that as the refining
i influences of education are felt, the Western
: woman cries that she is "huugry for the sight J
of a tree!" Nowhere is the beauty and utili-1
ty of tree culture recognized. Forests are cut j
down like weeds. The most serviceable natu- j
; ral hedges that shelter us from the blighting ;
i wind are slaughted for fire-wood. The lands j
of the homestead, instead of growing rich and j
more attractive to children?richer rn actual i
value as well as in the loving traditions that
should heap up with every generation?which j
, should finally stamp every spot of gronnd j
with some reverential or endearing memory? !
I are wholly bereft of their charms.
I It is foryou, young friends, to change this.
Beautiful, tree-surrounded lands?the wooded
hills?the shady slopes, are the nurseries in j
which love germinates and grows strong
among the children of God?and they are the j
natural iuspirers of reverence for him. The j
i bleak, naked, cheerless homes and fields are j
the natural concomitants of sorrow?of ex-1
ceeding poverty. They are fitting areas in j
1 which to expiate sius.

GRACE.
The word grace, which occurs so frequently
in the Bible, literally means a gift. Hence,
when we are told in the scriptures that "we
are saved by grace," the meaning is that the
whole process, from beginning to end of rescuing
us from our lost condition, is a gift of
God. God gave Jesus Christ to save sinners,
and God gives sinners to Christ. The Holy
Spirit gives sinners the power to believe in
Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit gives them
power to exercise this gift. Every redeemed
soul may, with absolute truth, cry out, "I am
what I am by the gift of God." All that the
sinner has that is his own, and all that he can
ever have that is not the gift of God, is sin.
Everything else, from the least to the greatest,
is the gift of God. If he is in Heaven his
title to his present place was given him, and
his fitness for Heaven was a gift of God. All
that he can say is, "I was washed in the blood
of the Lamb and made what I am. I did |
nothing to merit my present bliss. I only
was not disobedient to the heavenly vision. I
only followed Jesus, and he brought me
through great tribulation to this glorious place
and gave me a crown of righteousness." Every
sinner must say, "I am not worthy of the
least of thy mercies. I have merited nothing.
Jesus found me a lost sheep going astray, and
he brought me back to God." i
[Original.]
LOYE JESUS.
We should love Jesus for many reasons.
We should love him because of the kind care
and merciful providence which he exercises
over us. However tenderly a mother may
love her babe, her love is feeble as compared
with the love which Jesus Christ cheerishes
for poor, lost and ruined sinners. With ten fold
more care he watches over all creation than
a tender hearted and loving mother watches
over her darling child. No mother has
loved so much and done so much for her sweet
babe as Jesus Christ has done for the worst of I
the human family. No man can 3ay, "Jesus |
has no love for me." No man can say, "Jesus '
has done nothing for me." He gives all being
; he supports and sustains all in being. ;
His gifts are so great and so many that no
created being can even attempt to bestow
them. Jesus died for sinners. Jesus offers to i
save sinners from the curse of a violated law. '
Jesus does save with an everlasting salvation |
all that put their trust in him. No human i
being can say, "I went to Jesus and asked him t
to save me, but with a frown or with an air of (
indifference he gave no attention to my entreaties."
No man dare say, "I went to Jesus
but he rejected me." This is one lie that 1
no human lips can frame to tell. Jesus saves ,
all who come to him. His love is as bound- i
less as his own being, and the efficacy of his 1
blood is as powerful as his creative energy.
We should love Jesus for what he is; for ,
what he has done for us ; for what he is doing i
for us, and for all that he has promised to do
for us throughout an endless eternity. The
heart that is not moved by the simple story of
the Cross, is dead in tresspasses and sins.
[Original.] .
PROYE GOD.
Evidently, the curse of God is resting up- ]
on this land. Our country is desolate, our
cities are burned with fire, and Btrangers de- (
vour our land in our presence. Thousands ,
of our young men died by the sword, and a
wail of sorrow went up from every hearth- '
stone. Our rulers are rebellious and com- J
panions of thieves; every one of them loveth i
gifts and followeth after rewards. Such, al- ]
so, was the condition of God's ancient people. 1
As God is an unchangeable God, we may ,
expect him to deal with us as he dealt with j
Israel of old. <
If it be asked, why is God so sorely afflict- !
ing us? we reply, on account of our sins. ,
"Affliction cometh not forth of the dust,
neither doth trouble spring out of the ground."
As individuals, and as a nation, we have for
saken God and he is shaking his rod over us.
Sin, and sin alone, is the cause of our suffering.
We may have some difficulty in ascer- j
taining with certainty what may be our prevailing
national sin or sins ; but we may safe- '
ly conclude that as a nation we are heinous :
sinners in the sight of God. It may be that,
as a nation, we have become notorious Sab- i
bath-breakers; or we may be, as we are called
by some other nations, a people notoriously
addicted to drunkenness and profane swear- |
ing. We may be guilty of violating all the 1
precepts of the decalogue. It may be that
we trample under our feet each and all of the ,
ten commandments. <
Whatever may be our sin or sins, either as 1
a nation or as individuals, our duty is clear. !
We need be at no loss as to what God re- ,
quires us to do that he may remove his .af- ]
flictive providence. The Bible is full of in- ]
struction on this point. Hear what God
says by the mouth of the prophet Isaiah: !
"Wash ye, make you clean; put away the
evil of your doings from before mine eyes; I
cease to do evil; learn to do well; seek ^
judgment; relieve the oppressed; judge the <
fatherless; plead for the widow." This in- '
struction is general in its character ; but it is <
sufficiently particular to enable us to discover 1
what is our duty under any particular circumstance.
God positively declares that if we ]
will forsake our sins he will return unto us ;
and bless us. He graciously offers to blot 1
out our transgressions. "Come," says he to <
us as individuals, "and let us reason togeth- <
er" about this tiling. No proposition ever :
was fairer. Come, and in view of all the
facts, let us see what can be done to bring <
about a different state of things, and one that
is desirable. There is not a sinner in all ,
Christendom with whom God is not ready to <
enter into a conference concerning his sins.
Not only so; but God graciously offers to ;
defend us with his Almighty power and bless
i * - A if ?,;n i? <
US Willi HIS iuuiilit; guuuuese 11 yvo yyiii uluj
return unto him. Hear what he says: "If
ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the <
good of the land." Again he says: "I will rebuke
the destroyer." And again he says : <
"All nations shall call you blessed." These, '
together with thousands of other promises,
are plain. Every one can understand them, !
and all can see that God promises to bless
the good man, for time and for eternity ; to '
bless him in his body and in his soul, and so
to bless him that all who see him will at <
once discover that he is blessed. God even <
goes farther than to make the promise. He ;
challenges us to try him. "Prove me," he i
says to every one. This is not a vague thing.
On the contrary, it can be subjected to the |
most rigid test. God promises that if we will J
be a willing and obedient people, he will bless 1
us now.
It is our duty, as individuals, honestly to ;
try God ; to put him to the test and see and 1
experience whether he is faithful in fulfilling ]!
his promises or not. "Prove me," he says to ;
the man beset with difficulties. "Cast all your j <
cares upon me and see if I will not bfar :
them," are the challenges which God makes
to us all. Is it not madness for men to Strug- 1
gleon and on, when relief is so easily obtained ?;'
Accept of Jesus Christ and we are saved ; j
saved from the disappointments of sin in this
world, and its endless ruin in the world be- J
yond the grave. (
YORKVILLE ENQUIRER.
VOLUME 32.--1870.
THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER is now in
its twenty-second volume, and is a large twentyeight
column newspaper, handsomely printed.on
clear, legible type, and devoted to the Political,
Social, A oricultural and Commercial Interests
of the South. We are enabled to promise
increased attractions in all the different departments
of the paper, conspicuous among them
being the
SERIAL STORIES,
written expressly for its columns.
As a non-partisan, independent family newspaper,
the future editorial conduct of the Enquirer
can be as well judged by the past as by any promise
which we might now feel disposed to make.
An experience of thirty-five years in the newspaper
business?of which timeat least one-half has
been unremittingly 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
present day. The true mission of the newspaper
is to place before the public facts as they may exist,
unbiased by partisan feelings or sinister motives;
and the nronrietv of this course is fullv attested.
not on'y by the 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 AND 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 matters at 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 Serial Stories are an attractive
feature of the paper, being from the pens of the
most sprightly and entertaining story writers of
the day, and abound with dramatic plot and stirring
incident.
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. Lathan's easy, familiarstyle,
they will be read with peculiar satisfaction, not
only in our own State, but by every one having a
iust appreciation of the history of a noble ances
try in their struggle forliberty and independence.
CHESTER CORRESPONDENCE.
To meet the demands of our increasing circulation
in Chester county, we have engaged the services
of Brainerd McLure, Esq., who will contribute
a letter of correspondence from Chester
regularly each week. These letters are devoted
Bntirely 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,
is well as elsewhere in the State.
THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
In addition to the above features, Rev. Mr. Lathan
will continue his regular contributions to
the "Sabbath Reading," and the "Children's Department,"
which, under his management for the
past six years, have been an importantattraction ;
ind with the usual melange of Miscellaneous
Reading adapted to all tastes; the Agricultural
Department, containing practical and useful information
for the farmer and house-wife; a column
Bf Humorous Reading every week ; "Scraps and
Facts,"embracinglight current topics; a compend
if 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
is an entertaining and instructive Family Journal.

PREMIUMS FOR CLUBS.
By a favorable arrangement with the different
manufacturers, we are enabled to make the following
liberal and unprecedented offers of Premiums
for Clubs. These Premiums have been adopted
by us with special reference to securing only
articles of value, and which will prove serviceable
to those procuring them. The regular retail
price is given with each and they are just as good
as so much cash to those who receive them. All
the articles are put down in our schedule at manufacturers'
regular retail prices, and cannot be
bought with cash any lower than the prices here
given. Premiums Nos. 1,2 and 3 will be delivered
through the mails, to persons entitled to receive
them, free of cost. The other Premiums will be
delivered at the expense for freight charges, of
those receiving them. In cases where Premiums
can be delivered at our publication office, arrangements
may be perfected for reducing the freight
jharges on small articles to a nominal amount.
The charges for freight on theSilver 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 atom
works in Greensboro, N. C., give universal
satisfaction wherever introduced. They are made
of the BEST SCOTCH PIG METAL, with heav- ""
ier and thicker plate than any other Stove in the
market, and consequently will the longer withstand
heat and bard usage. They are of band
some pattern and neat finish, and warranted equal
in every other respect to any Cooking Stove sold
in the United States, while it is confidently claimed
that they are the CHEAPEST. All me usual
pieces of ware and cooking utensils are furnished
with each Stove. An important consideration
with purchasers is the fact that our patterns and
sizes are never changed. Should a piece getaoddentally
broken at any time, we can replaoe it at
the mere cost of casting. Not simply oecause it
is a home production, buton accountofits intrinsic
merits as an article of household economy, do
we ask the patronage of home purchasers. More
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. Wylle, 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,
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 pricse
