ces. The Wheeling Intelligencer publishes letters from various counties of West Virginia showing that the accounts of widespread destitution in numerous scections of that State have been greatly exaggerated. The Rev. Mahlon Van Horne, colJ ored, was nominated on Monday by the Republicans of the fourth district for Repre' sentative in the General Assembly of Rhode Island. No colored man was ever before nominated by the dominant party in that State. The nomination is equivalent to an election. The United States Senate adjourned sine die on last Thursday. The total number of nominations sent into the Senate by President Cleveland was one hundred and seventy-three. Of these one hundred and fifty-nine were confirmed, two were rejected, and twelve were left unacted upon by the Senate. As the wheat crop will be short this year and prices may be nigh, war or no war, Southern planters are advised to make large corn crops The southern railways pay nearly $2,000,000 a year for crossties, and it is estimated that about 15,000,000 orrwaoHoa arp rennired hv the railwavs of the whole country.?v?Hon. Jefferson Davis was sent to West Point by President Monroe in 1824, And Gen. Grant was sent there in Van Buren's Administration by Mr. Poinsett, of South Carolina, who had been an Anti-Nullifier in 1832. The daily papers continue to keep up public excitement in regard to the health of Gen. Grant, and . gravely inform the multitude that the man who was able to ride a mile, walk across his room several times in the course of a few hours, and write his autograph in as bold a manner as when in perfect health, managed to pull through another day. Gen. Grant, like other mortals, is liable to die at any time: but we are inclined to the opinion that he will "pull through" several days more before the end is reached. ExSecretary Frelinghuysen is at the point of death. President Cleveland has removed the postmaster at Rome, New York, for cause. The Charlotte Observer of Tuesday, says : A tramp who gave his name as H. Rogers, and who said he was from Rock Hill, S.

C. v OBITUARY. ~7 Died?In Yorkville, S. C., on Friday, the 15th of March, 1885, Mr. J. BOLTON SM*ITH, aged thirty years two months and one day. " To delineate human character is a difficmt task. To present it in such a way as to meet the approval of public sentiment, is* still more embarrassing. The opinions of men concerning men are varying ana diversified. A multitude of people view their fellows through different eyes and from different standpoints. While a published notice of the dead is not so much to gain and perpetuate the commendation of society, but a desire on the part of surviving loved "ones to have . embodied in short form the prominent traits ot character of one who had been their companion in life. But if to secure unanimity on a given subject was the object and design*of this published notice, the task would not be embarrassing. The testimonials of regard, witnessed during his illness, and the day of his funeral obsequies, proclaim in no equivocal language the high esteem in which he was held bv those who knew him best; and no marvel. h\>r virtue and innocence are always admired by the good, and not unfrequently by the impure and unholv. It is not always true*that "we hate the good we cannot or do not reach." We almost venture the assertion that there is none, living or dead, who will chdrge him with wilfully, knowingly and maliciously trespassing upon rights that were sacred. Virtue is always unobtrusive and retiring, and society seldom knows the worth of true hearts until their places are made vacant by death. Among Christian people there is only one regret that he had not publicly professed faith in Christ, and this regret he expressed himself to his wife and others. And this mistake he intended to correct at an early day. This much can be truthfully said of him: He was better than he professed to be. Instead of professing more than he possessed, as many of us church-members do, he avoided expressing what he did possess, viz.: peace with his God. In his case, a life of purity and honesty, a life of daily praver and Bible reading, preceded his assuming church obligations, and the fruit of such a life 3howed itself in the closing scenes of life. "Iam ready and willing to die." God seeing and knowing his sincerity and purity, justified him for Christ's sake, and the question comes up, Which is the greater or more fatal mistake, to acknowledge Christ in the sacraments and be wanting in the fruits of holiness, or delay assuming church obligations and yet exemplify Bible precepts by a prayerful and virtuous life*? The writer is second to hone in his estimation of church fellowship and church privileges, but has deplored the practice of some who pass sweeping condemnations upon all non-professors and who, at the same time bolster up a nominal profession where glaring inconsistencies are often witnessed. Our meek and quiet friend is no more. His widowed wife and childless mother are in the weeds of mourning. His babes thftf he kissed good-bye are unconscious that theilr father will never return. God's ways are mysterious to the iaithful; but "Behind a frowning Providence He hides a smiling face." l. a. j.

"Ton Much Soda in the Biscuit." \M7*E will venture tlie assertion that this eomT plaint is nearcl in many families about 600 times a year. We leave oil' the other -hi") meals for the times when biscuit was not baked or when there was too little soda; or, probably the pood man of the house was in a better humor than usual. The wife always pets the blame what the bread is not right, because "he" can't understand why it is that if you use the same material, in the same quantity, it don't produce thesame result. The pood wife protests that she can't help it, and that she did the best she could, but that doesn't settle the matter. We know where the shoe pinches, and also know that Baker's Bread is the only kind that can be made exactly alike every time, and even that only after years of experience. Now, to settle all* these difficulties about "too much soda," "too done," "not done enouph," etc.. etc., von must blot out their cause and use BERRY it BARBER'S bread. The only reason ypu use biscuits now is because you were raised on them, and could pet nothing better, and we feel warranted in saving that if you will use our bread for one week, at the end of that time you will be so well pleased that it will produce melancholia, from the fact that vou have been punished with biscuit so long.

THE Old Chap's grand display of Dry (roods and Millinery, on the 1st and 2nd, was the best ever gotten up by him, so the ladies say, and they are certainly good authority. It was the largest and gotten up in better taste, so says all that paid their respects, and they were not a few in number. Many thanks to all for their kindness in paying us a visit on those days, and many more for the flattering compliments on the nice goods and good taste in our display. These kind words more than paid us for our many hours of hard toil in trying to have THE NICEST DISPLAY In Yorkville. The Old Chap will leave that decision with the ladies, who are the best judges of such things. In the Millinery department, in Hats and Bonnets, a Bonnet gotten up by Miss KEEN attracted more attention than any other Hat or Bonnet in the house, on account of its Beauty and Simplicity. It was pure white and named Cleveland. Although thero wero fine pattern Hats, some as high as $25.00, the beautiful white Cleveland Bonnet was more admired than any otht r. Mrs. Dobson feels herself highly elated over her show of nice Hats, Bonnets and Millinery, And especially on account of so many kind and flattering compliments paid her luring heropening, which will never be forgotten, and for which she returns very many thanks. Mrs. Dobson hopes that none will feel themselves slighted in attention, as she and all the house did their very best in trying to make the time pleasant for them while they stayed. The rush being so great, at times it was almost impossible for them all to get the attention that was wished for them. Mrs. Dobson will be pleased to see her friends and customers and will try at all times to do her very best to please them in her line of business. HER DRESS-MAKING Department is in first-rate trim, Cutting, Fitting ana Making from a Calico Dress to the finest Silk, and guaranteeing fits in every instance where they are cut in the house. Mrs. Dobson is well posted in all the latest styles, and thinks she is headquarters in her line of business. Bridal and Mourning outfits a specialty. The Old Chap and his colleagues think Their Display of Zeigler Shoes For Ladies, Misses and Children, and Hess' make for Men cannot be excelled in this place. All as near perfect fitting as can be gotten up. We have flhoes for old Ladi es this season, that we think and know will giv them comfort; and Gents, too, who want comfort in nice lace and lasting goods can be supplied,as we have them. Our Messrs.

Fine staple, large noils, easily picked. The only real improved seed. John W. Fairey, Proprietor of the Orangeburg Hotel, Orangeburg, S. C'., writes the result of his test with the Peterkin and Silk Ozier Cotton Seed: Peterkin yielded 1,360 pounds seed cotton. Silk Ozier yielded 1,300 pounds seed cotton. Peterkin'sbale weighed 520 pounds. Ozier's bale weighed 404 pounds. Net gain of lint 116 pounds on one acre, and says he sold his Ozier seed to the oil man. Capt. O. A. Wylie, Richburg, S. C., writes: "The Pelorkin Cotton Seed is the only real improved seed I have ever had, and where land will only bring 600 pounds seed cotton per acre, Peterkin Cotton Seed will pay live dollars over other varieties. This seed is'so far in advance of other varieties that people won't believe me. Pardon me for saying that my veracity has never been doubted until I have made comparative statements between Peterkin and other varieties of cotton. Farmers desiring this seed would do well to send me their ORDERS AT ONCE, as the supply is running short. Price, sacked and delivered F. O. R. cars, 81.50 per bushel of 30 pounds.

I { j j IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE WE have often enjoyed, to hear ladies say that they could get a much nicer selection of Drv Goods and Millinery ?/ * In Yorkville than in any of the larger towns and cities in the State, and at much lower prices. We think this very broad statement fully justified in the display of handsome goods on "Wednesday and Thursday of last week. In this display we flatter ourselves that the Mammoth Bore No Small Part, And contributed to the "Great Show of Fashion," a stock of new, well-selected and stylish goods, a stock, judging from the encomiums heard on all sides, merited and received a large share of the public admiration ; but we are treading on forbidden ground, beyond the bounds of modesty, and so we refrain from uttering any verdict, but will leave it to the just decision of an impartial public, where it rightly belongs. However, we must say that our encouragement from the rapidity with which these Pretty Goods are Melting Away, Is great indeed, so much so, in fact, that we must think that the Boom of last Fall, was but the herald of a mighty rush this Spring. Yes, the Mammoth is the cry that is heard and echoed from the Catawba to the Broad, and each day brings new recruits and increases the host docked together under her banner until she now numbers them by legions. We would call your special attention to OUR STOCK OF CLOTHING, The largest and most attractive in every respect, goods that have gained a reputation for themselves by a thorough test of ten years, during which they have never failed to give the best satisfaction. They have been improving every year and have now reached a state of unsurpassable perfection. GENTS' HATS.
