SQUARING ACCOUNTS.
E. R. Pritchard, who contributes this
queer story to the Arkansaw Traveller,
vouches for it as a literal fact, and no
fancy sketch:
Tom Robinson was an old-school Presbyterian
; and so far as outward observances
went, his life conformed strictly
to the rules laid down by the church discipline.
His Sabbath began with the going
down of the sun on Saturday night,
ana lasted until midnight of Sunday. He
wasaustere, bigoted and hypocritical. He
had one prayer which he had used, without
change or rest, night and morning in
his home, and on Sundays in the church,
for at least twenty-five years. In fact,
Tom was a machine Christian, a sort of
pious automaton; he had spent a good deal
of time ascertaining his routine churchly
duties, and these hedischarged in a neverfailing,
drop-a-nickle-in-the-slot sort of
fashion. He kept a sort of book account
with the Almighty, and took care to keep
a fair-sized credit on his side of the
ledger.
But Tom had one weakness?he would
trade horses; and it goes without saying
that no Christian has anv business to ever
trade horses. Tom's method of squaring
accounts, that is, of easing his conscience
in his horse deals, was certainly original.
He used to put his lies against the other
fellow's, ana call it even. Whenever he
got wofully cheated, which happened not
infrequently, he very freely and frankly
forgave the fellow who had gotten the
best of him, and then laid low and waited
for ducks; and, as a rule, it was not
long before he found a chance to get even.
On a certain occasion, however, Tom traded
boraes with a brother deacon in the
chaieh,and waxed it to him to the tune of
a hundred* dollars or more. The deacon,
who had got thwworst of the trade, went
to the minister aboat it, and finally the
matter was brought before the board of
sessions, and Tom was hauled up on trial
forconduct unbecoming a church member
and a Christian. When it came his turn
to testify, Tom slowly arose, and, addressing
the moderator, said:
"Mr. Moderator and Gentlemen: To give
you the straight of the thing, I'll have to
go back 'bout five years."
Here there was a visible commotion
among the board, and the plaintiff coughed
violently and got very red in the face.
Resuming, Tom said:
"'Bout five years ago come next complantin',
I was one day goin' over to Adaqas's
miil, with a grist, when who should
I meet but Deacon Wilson, there. [Here
he nodded toward the plaintiff.] I was
drivin' a spankin' three-year-old colt that
I had hitched up for 'bout the first time,
alongside of its mother, as steady an old
mare as I ever pulled a line over. Well,
the deacon was ridin' a mighty likely-lookin'
critter hisse'f. I looked at his horse
an' he looked at mine, and the first thing
I knowed he bantered me for a trade. I
got down outen the wagon an' looked at
his horse all over purty keerful like, an' I
says: 'Deacon, your horse's eyes are bad ;
fact is, he's moon-eyed,'says I.
41 'Not by a blamed sight, he ain't,' says
the deacon. 'That horse's eyes are as sound
as yours. You're mistaken for once,' says
he.
"Well," continued Tom, "I didn't suppose
the deacon would lie to me, a brother
in the church, and so we traded. I took
the horse home," said Tom, raising his
voice a little, "an' he went stone blind in
less'n a month." He paused a moment
here to watch the effect of his words on the
jurors, and then continued: "I found out
afterwards that the horse had been goin'
blind every dark of the moon for a year;
an' that Deacon Wilson, the plaintiff in
the case, kept a goose-quill and a bottle of
fine salt in the stable, an' every time he
took the critter out he blowed its eyes full
of salt tocutthegum offen its eyes, so'syou
couldn't see there was anything the matter <
with 'em. Now, brethren,"inquired Tom,
persuasively, 'Mid I squeal? Did I come
befprelbeu>fflrfcff>?with a complaint against
Brother Wilson an' try to get him ousted
an' disgraced before the whole community?
No, I forgave him like a man and a
brother ought ter do. 1 snowed the time'd
come when I could git even. The Lord
generally brings things out right to those
who try to do His will."
He sat down amid a slight but subdued <
- murmur of applause. The plaintiff, or
more properly speaking the complainant,
had already stated his side of the case, so ;
the board of moderators had only to request
both the parties before them to retire ,
while they made up their decision. Half
an hour later it was announced, and was,
in substance, as follows:
"We find that the charges of cohduct unbecoming
a Christain, which were preferred
against Brother Thomas Robinson,
of this church, by Brother Deacon Britton
S. Wilson, also a member of this church,
to'be not sustained by any evidence which
was put before this board. We, therefore,
dismiss this case, and extend to Brother i
'Robinson the right hand of fellowship,
and assure him that he still has our sympathy,
and that our confidence in him as a
true and faithful Christian Remains unimpaired.
We further find brother Wilson,
the complainant in this case, upon his own
admission, to have been guilty of practicing
a deceit on a brother church member, ,
and so recommend his beiug held to trial
for the same at the next regular session of |
this body." (
A GOOD JOKE ON MAHONE.
Previous to the recent election, Messrs. i
Cheadle, of Indiana, and Brumm, of
Pennsylvania, were invited by General
Mahone to stump the State of Virginia in
his interest. They had an appointment at
the Court House, in Cumberland county,
which has a very heavy negro majority ; i
and the Democrats made no attempt to
meet them, supposing it would be a hopeless
case to make any contest there. So i
me iwu xveyuuiiutus, uiuue, auurcaseu u
very large negro assembly, discussing at
length the intricacies of the tariff and
other questions of national importance,
and went on to speak in the highest terms
of General Mahone, his Republicanism, his
friendship for the negro, and how much
he had done to elevate them and help
assert their rights.
A negro in the audience, by the name
of Hughes, before the meeting adjourned,
requested that he might be permitted to
reply to the two gem'len from the North,
and referred to Mr. Cheadle as Mr. Beadle,
and Mr. Brumm as Mr. Bruen, sarcastically
likening them to the animals those names
represented. After discussing other matters
agitated in the campaign, he finally
look up the question of General Mahone's
love for the negro, saying he would illustrate
how much the General loved the negro
by repeating a dream he had the night
before:
"I dreamed," said he, "that I had done
gone and died, and after I was dead I
found out I didn't have no wings, and I
'lowed I'd walk to Heaven, and when I
fetched up at the golden gate I knocked,
and the gate keeper, he came out and axed
me how I got way up there to the golden
gate, and I 'lowed to him pintedly that I
come all the wav on foot. The gate keep
er, he says: "You caint come in heretoday,
for I ain't admitting nobody now,
'oept they is on horseback." So I was
turned away from the golden gate. When
I was coming back to you again, I met
General Mahone right on the same road,
and I says, says I: "Whar you gwine,
Mars' Billy ?" and he says,says he: "I'm
gwine to Heaven, stand aside." I tole
him "you can't get in thar, Mars' Billy,
'cause they ain't taking nobody in 'less
they is mounted on hossback." Then Gen.
Mahone said : "You get down on your
hands and knees, you black rascal, and I'll
get on your back, and we'll ride in together."
So Mars' Billy, he climbed up a
stump and got onto my back and we cantered
up to the gate, and I 'lowed I'd
knock again. The gate-keeper, he come
out and he says: "Who's thar ?" I says :
"Mars' Billy Mahone." The gate-keeper,
he says again: "Is he mounted or on foot ?"
I tole him, "He's on hoss-back, of course,
for he's Mars' Billy Mahone, of Peters- .
burg, the friend of the cullud man." Then
the gate-keeper, he hollered out loud, he
did : "General Mahone, tie yo' hoss on the
outside, and come in 1" And I jest laid
back and 'lowed to myself: "Niggah, sold
again!" And that's the way Mars' Billy
Mshone wants to ride you into the Republican
party.
Thetequel was that the county of Cumberland,
which had previously given 800
Republican majority, was carried by the
Democrats by about 150, and the first time
they had carried it in twenty years.

FEEDING WITH COTTON SEED HULLS.
Prof. W. E. Stone, recently of Tennessee i
Experiment Station, but now Professor of
Organic Chemistry at Purdue University, ,
Indiana, made, while at the Tennessee
Station, an investigation into the use of
cotton seed hulls and meal as a feed for '
live stock. The whole of the cotton seed
oil industry is of comparatively recent
growth, and hence, though the hulls have
been uskl more or less for twenty years,
nothing like an economic utilization of
them has been attempted. The information
in regard to its direct feeding value
has been obtained principally from parties
using it in a rather extensive way. From 1
this information and from analyses made
of the hulls, meal and resulting manure,
the professor concl udes: i
The practice of feeding cotton seed hulls
and meal as an exclusive diet is well established
and increasing in the vicinity of ,
the centres of the cotton seed oil industry.
All the information available indicates that
11 ?? -a : 5 nn 1 unrl nrnfifflhlo. '

It seems in no way harmful to the health 1
of the animal or to the healthfulness of the
products (beef and milk) resulting. The j
diet seems to be adapted both to the pro- i
duction of beef and mutton as well as
milk. The average ration should consist j
of twenty-five to thirty-five pounds of
hulls and five to eight pounds of meal
daily. The hulls are a cheap and effective
substitute for hay. The manure produced <
by this system of feeding is an important 1
factor in considering its relative profitableness.
j
Compact the Wheat Ground.-Wheat
succeeds best in a compact seed bed, one ,
in which the particles are not fused into '
masses, but in which they are distinct and
in close contact. Hence, in the preparation
of ground for wheat, the roller and '
harrow should be used as mucn 10 compact
the seed bed as to pulverize the clods.
In such a seed bed there is greatest capillarity
; moisture and heat are most gener- ,
ally and equably diffused through the
ground. Each grain of seed is likely to
find those conditions essential to germina- 1
tion, and the plants those conditions favor- 1
able to growth. When the wheat is sown 1
there is often a deficiency of moisture in
the upper soil; but if the seed bed has *
great capillarity, moisture will be lifted i
from it. In a compact seed bed there are I
no holes in which water can collect, and
the capillary condition prevents an excess |
of moisture about the roots. The wheat ]
plant is doubtless injured by stagnant j
roots, and this is also chiefly responsible
for the serious heaving out of wheat by
frost. In a compact seed bed the roots also '
get a surer hold than when they must y
cling to the sides of holes and crevices. 1
Finally, such a seed bed most readily yields
plant food, and the plant can make a i
stronger growth against frost, insects, or '
more readily recover from their attacks. ]

On Men's Shoes.?I have only one
hobby, and that is shoes, or rather the
feculiar fashion I have of wearing them.
used to think that a man got the best
Bervice out of a shoe by putting on the best
pair a shoemaker could make him and
wearing them constantly until the leather
gave away somewhere, but I now think
that it is the most extravagant way of
dressing the feet. I am never without
three or four pairs of shoes in good wearable
condition. I never wear the same pair
two days in succession, and at least once a
month I go over each pair with a brush
dipped.in vasaline. Thus, with three pairs
of shoes, I give each pair one day of work
and two days of rest, and the leather has
time to regain its elasticity and stretch
out the wrinkles the foot has made. These
wrinkles break in the leather when the
shoe is continuously worn. The vasaline
is better than oil for fine leather. I used
to wear out four pairs of $8 shoes a year,
one at a time. The same number now last
me two years.?[St. Louis Globe.
Milk for Chickens.?It is not every
one that is aware that hens are very fond
of milk, which is as good for them as it is
for pigs. Mix a little corn meal with
skimmed milk, and you have a luxury for
chickens. One brought up on a farm,
where an open swill barrel was the order
of the day, will remember many ana many
a. hen drowned in it?a pretty good proof ,
that the contents were relished, or the hens ,
would not have sacrificed their lives in
trying to get them. Hens are fond of loppered
milk, which is excellent for them ; 1
but of course they need other more con- 1
densed and solid food in addition. If you 1
have hens?every farmer and dairyman 1
ought to have a few?arrange to give them J
a supply of skimmed milk. They will 1
take it with the pigs, if they can get at the
trough; but this is not the best way to *
feed them. Give them a trough to them- '
selves, where they will not be molested 1
nor molest anything else. 1

BRAZIL.
The empire of Brazil comprises nearly
i half the territory of South America. It is
nearly as large as the United States, and
larger than the United States without
Alaska. Its population is only about
12,000,000, less than 200,000 of whom have
exercised the right of suffrage. A large
part of the population consists of emancipated
slaves. A larger part is Indians and
persons of mixed blood. Probably not
one-tenth of the people are at all qualified
to rule by popular vote. The soil is fer!
tile, and, on account of the warm climate,
very productive. Four-fifths of the country*
is an elevated plateau, and this is sep-'
arated from the 4,000 miles of sea and river
i coast by ranges of mountains which shut
off free access to it, and which are pierced
by railroads only with great difficulty and
at enormous cost. It has been the policy
of Dom Pedro to push public improve
ments, witn tne national credit, and the
great debt of the country is for public
works, railways and permanent improvements,
and not for costly wars. There are
now, 5,000 miles of railway in the country,
and several thousand more are in process of
construction.
The Amazon is navigable for nearly a
thousand miles, and the commercial facilities
it gives can be seen only by imagining
that a river, navigable for the largest
ship afloat, extends from Cincinnati to the
Atlantic, so that every place between this
and the ocean should possess the advantage
of a seaport town.
The country has been subject to the wise
and humane reign of the now deposed emSeror,
Dom Pedro II, since 1840. Under
)om Pedro I, in 1821, the country threw
off allegiance to Portugal. The grandfather
of the recently-deposed emperor
was Dom John, king of Portugal, who
fled to Brazil at the time of the French
revolution. On his return to Spain he left
his son, the first Dom Pedro at the head
of Brazilian affairs. This son, the father
of the deposed emperor, led the revolt
against Portugal, and was crowned constitutional
emperor of Brazil October 12,
1822. The government was given into the
hands of Dom Pedro II when a boy of
fourteen, in 1840, and a few months more
would have completed a reign of fifty

composed of a senate and chamber of deputies
elected by the few who have the
; right of suffrage. The senators hold office
' for life and the deputies for four years.
Only those vote who have an income of
$200.
Dom Pedro had long cherished the idea
| of freeing the slaves, but found great diffiL
culty in the opposition of their owners,
and the fear of turning adrift so large a
body of people that had no training in self?
support to provide for themselves. His.
i plan was, therefore, to abolish slavery by
i degrees. An emancipation fund was esi
tablished in 1870,and slaves were purchased
and freed as rapidly as possible without
j the risk of a shock to the government,
i Other provisions were made, by which
. those born in slavery after a fixed date
were to be free in a certain number of
years. The number of slaves was by this
plan gradually reduced until May 13,1888,
when the legislative assembly passed a bill
at once abolising all slavery. This bill was
signed by the emperor's daughter, acting
as regent during his absence, and was
clearly in line with his policy. Indeed,
i it was only his long continued policy and
preparation that made the bill possible.
Isabel and her husband, however, took the
credit to themselves. Compensation was
not made to the owners, as Dom Pedro
had planned, and as would have been just,
and their oDnosition has nrobablv had
i much to do with the revolution, if they
, have not been its chief instigators.
The cause of the revolution is given out
as the unpopularity of Isabel and her husband,
Count d'Eu, who are ruled by the
1 priests of the Catholic church. The Count
d'Eu, although nominally the head of tile
army, possessed no influence. He had
been cashiered for a grave offence, and was
saved from punishrnei t only by a pardon
from his father-in-law. The real leader of
the army was General Fonseca, who has
' always been opposed to the Count d'Eu.
1 Taking advantage of the proper time, he
i has succeeded in overthrowing the gov>
ernment. Could the nation have looked
forward to a worthy successor of Dom Pedro,
the revolution might not have occur,
red. He is an old man, in feeble health,
and it may prove fortunate that the revolution
has occurred, without loss of life,
i during his lifetime. The Brazilians would
never have consented to the rule of Isabel
and her worthless husband, or to the do1
minion of the priests of the Romish church.
Our annual import of coffee from Brazil
amounts to $34,000,000, and of rubber to
1 about $12,000,000. So little were the first
reports of the revolution credited that
many regarded them as an attempt to work
up a coffee speculation.
"TRUSTS" AND "COMBINATION'S."
The Standard Oil Company was the first
of the organizations of the class which call
iU/Mv>nAl?tAn (tf Mfioto nn/4 II' Ki nK aro pqHaH
IIICIUSCI VC3 11 uoto, auu niuv.li uw v." WW.
in popular language "combinations."
Both congress and several Stato legislatures
are inquiring into the constitutionality of
these bodies, evidently with a design to
i break them down, or to control them, if a
way can be found to do it.
The idea and the plan of these trusts are
very simple, and the method of their
working is not difficult to understand.
; The leading corporations in a certain business,
to all intents and purposes, intrust
! the management of their affairs to a committee
of their own members, who constitute
the board of officers of the "trust."
What shall be the amount of an article
to be produced by each ofthecorporations,
at what price shall sales bo made, within
what district shall goods be sold by each,
so that there shall be no competition between
them?these are among the leading
matters regulated by the trust. But, of
course, in order that the decisions of the
officers of the trust may be carried out, it
is necessary that all concerns engaged in
the business shall be either members of the
combination, or obedient to its decrees,
i The motto of a trust, in effecting unity
of action, seems to be, "Peaceably if we
can; forcibly if we must." It iswillingto
take in any concern that will conform to
its policy, but it will fight against, and, if
possible, crush any one which refuses to do
hU. 11IUCCU, 111C W1IUIC ut'jtct u. UIU ww
bination would be defeated il auy real
competition continued to exist.
We need not give a list of the trusts
which have been organized, or art in process
of formation, but may mention the
' kerosene-oil, cotton-seed oil, sugar, and
1 India-rubber goods trusts as samples of
this class of combination. There, are,
1 however, others, not so thoroughly organ1
ized, and not intended to be general and
1 permanent, which are simply "pools,"
1 formed to sustain the price of an article for
a short time, or to control production,
which do not require a separate descrip,
tion.
i There can be no question that compe
tition in manufactures and trade is broadly
speaking, a good thing for both dealers and
the public, and all measures which artificially
restrict production or regulate prices
are bad in their influences and effect; but
. when this has been said, we have not made
much progress in the solution of the perplexing
problems raised by these trusts.
For, how can we say that a man or a
corporation snail not, mane an agiccujcuias
to the amount of goods to be produced,
the price at which and the place where
thev shall be sold ? Indeed, how can we
find out whether a man or a company has
made such an agreement, without exercising
such a supervision over his business
as no country, however despotic, claims
1 the right to exercise ?
Moreover, the employes in any trade are
permitted to combine for the purpose of
regulating the terms on which they will
sell their labor, and they can use any
means short of physical violence and open
annoyance, to enforce their claims. There
can hardly be one rule for employes and
another for employers.
Yet it seems necessary in some way to
Eut a stop to the system, or at any rate to
ring it under restriction or legal control.
The State properly refuses to give any
power to corporations, which have been
i well-called "artificial persons," except that
which is strictly defined in a charter; and
; that power it gives only to corporations
which it creates and controls, and may
l destroy again.
I Now a "trust" is a self-created corpora
tion ; it employs powers of the most important
character, which it has prescribed and
assumed without legal authority; and it
is, thus far, at auyrate, exempt from all
legal supervision. Out of the conflict between
the undoubted rights of persons and
the undisputed right and power of the
government, some system of control will
certainly come, at no distant day.
DEFINITE RULES.
A thoroughly competent house keeper,
who has never been to a cooking-school,
but was locally famous for her culinary
skill, was lately telling another woman
how to make a pudding. The story, as
given by the Chicago Ledger, is evidently
true to nature, even though the dialogue
may not have been reported verbatim ; for
some cooks go more by instinct than by
rule.
"If it's to be a small pudding, why, of
course, I don't use much flour; the bigger
it's to be, the more flour I take. Hometimes
I have to use a good deal, and then
again I very often get up quite a pudding
without having to use much. You see, it
depends pretty considerably on the baking
powder. If that's real good, it don't make
much difference about the flour."
"I suppose you use raisins?"
"Sometimes I do, and then, sometimes
I don'. It depends upon whether I want
it rich or not, and what kind of sauce I'm
going to use."
"How much sugar do you take?"
"Well, now, some folks take a good deal
and some folks don't. For my part, I
never did like to have anything too sweet,
so I'm always careful not to get too much
sugar. After you've made itonceor twice
you won't have a particle of trouble in getting
it just to suit you."
"How many eggs?"
"There! that's the beauty of it. With
this kind of a pudding it don't make so
much difference how many you use. If
you've got plenty of eggs, why you Cttn put
in several; it wont hurt; but if eggs are
scarce you can get along with less just as
well, nobody will ever notice the difference."
"Do you mix your dough with milk ?"
"Yes?sometimes. I'm not so very particular.
It depends. If I've plenty of
milk, I do; but if you get everything else
all right, it's no matter about the milk."
"How about spices ?"
"Use 'em if you want to. Some folks
like 'em, and I think myself they rather
help a pudding sometimes, especially if
you use plain sauce. But you must follow
your own taste about that; and if you
don't get it right the first time, don't
blame me, for I've done my very best to
tell you just what I do and all about it."
-Systematic RonnERY.?The smallest
child in America who has gone through
any of the simple arithmetics taught in
our schools would say "24 sheets make 1
quire," and with a little calculation would
tell you that there are 4 pages to each sheet,
24 times 4, or 96 pages to each quire,
and you will find on the back of each
blank book figures representing the numher
of mi ires in the hnnk. These figures a
-1 ? --? ? ? --#1
long time ago did tell you the truth. But
examine your blank book now and see for
yourself. Look at the figure on the back
at the bottom. You find 6? Yes. Well,
that means 6 quires, 9G pages to the quire,
or 576 pages. How many pages do you
really find in the book? You look and
find only 432 or 480, or it may be as low
down as 288 pages, and yet were you not
told there were six quires in that book,
and did you not have your attention called
to that figure "6" on the back of the book ?
and didn't the clerk who sold you the book
say 6 quires atsoand so, per quire? There
are frauds and frauds all over and through
the land, and you must keep your eye
open or be sold out.?[Progressive Farmer.
How to Read Newspapers?There
is a right and a wrong way to read a newspaper.
If a person picks up a newspaper
and begins reading the first article that
catches his eye, then turns and returns the
paper, skipping over it and devouring only
that which appears to suit his fancy, he
will almost invariably overlook the very
thing he would have liked best to see;
then after throwing it aside decide that
the paper is not what it should be. When,
if he had first looked at the name and date,
then commenced going down the column
reading the headings, or if short particles
the entire piece, he would, when through,
hotro hofJ a fair lrnnuroIcrc nf its pnntpnia
it is no harm and takes but little time to
see what every piece is about, even if you
should prefer not to read it through, for
then you have its contents and can refer
to it later on. So when you pick up a paper
take it a column at a time, just a9 you
would a book or a continued story, and see
how much more satisfaction you will gain
yourself, besides giving the paper its dues.
Human life is estimated to have
lengthened twenty-five percent.duringthe
last half century. "The average human
life in Home, under Ctesar, was eighteen
years," says Dr. Todd, of Georgia, "now
it is forty years. The average iu France
fifty years ago was twenty-eight, and the
mean duration in 1887 was forty-five and
one-half years. In Geneva during the
thirteenth century a generation played its
part upon the stage and disappeared in
fourteen years; now the drama requires
forty years before the curtain falls. During
the golden reign of good Queen Bes9, in
London and all the large cities of merry
old England, fifty out of every one thousand
paid the last debt to nature yearly,
which means, instead of three scor9 and
ten, they averaged but one score. Now,
in the city of London, the average is forty-seven
years.
Nine Points of Good Husbandry.?
When your wife has been busy at home
all day, do not, immediately on your return,
spy out some omission, but glance
around and recognize her efforts by some
such expression as, "This is comfort." 2.
Do not refuse to pay her some pleasant little
courtesies. 3. Chat with her at table,

against her, but let them realize that you
and she are one in your joint care of them.
5. Take her into your confidence, and do
not try to bear burdens alone. G. If she is
in trouble, do not pooh-pooh, but let her
feel your sympathy. 7. Do not criticise
her before strangers. 8. Be always polite
to her. 9. Go sometimes for a walk or
shopping with her, and as you go, arm in
arm, now and then give her arm a squeeze.

Jay Gould Neveli Alone.?Jay Gould,
who has been here with his family for two
weeks, left to-day. The peculiarity has
been noticed that Mr. Gould is never alone.
He never left his room or appeared anywhere
without several persons with him.
His daughter, Miss Nellie Gould, almost
always had hold^of his arm, and his son,
George Gould, walks behind or at his side.
Generally there have been four persons
with him, but seldom less than three and
there was also at the United States hotel
during his stay here a man who managed to
keep near him, or followed closely in his
wake wherever he went. This man is supposed
to be a private detective. With all
fyis millions Mr. Gould looks like a careworn,
harrassed and unhappy man.?["Saratoga

of THIRTY or more names, but who may
fail to secure one of the three Cash premiums,
we will give as compensation for securing the
subscribers, one ANTI-MAGNETIC SOLID
NICKEL-SILVER WATCH. The watch is an
open face, stem-winder and setter, and is, perhaps,
the best and most reliable Watch, considering
price, that can be obtained. A leading
jeweler of Yorkvillo says that "it is a good,
honest watch, well made and well worth the
price at which it sells." The case is a combination
of silver and nickle and will wear a life
time. The retail price of the watch is $10.00.
The time fixed for completing clubs under
the above offers is limited to one o'clock, p.
m., on MONDAY, the 10th day of MARCH,
1890.
Competitors may commence to secure subscribers
at once. All NEW SUBSCRIBERS
that are returned in clubs previous to the
25th of December, 1889, will be furnished with
the paper until the FIRST OF JANUARY,
1891, for $1.75, but in every instance the subscription
price must be paid before the name
is entered on our books. .
No name will be counted in competition for
a premium, and no premium delivered, until
the subscription price has been paid.
To persons who make up clubs of ten or
more names, but who may fail to obtain one of
the above premiums, we will send The En
quirer one year free of charge; and to those
who send a club of twenty or more names,
but who may fail to get one of the other premiums,
we will forward The Enquirer one
year free of charge, and a copy, one year, of
any weekly newspaper or monthly magazine
published in the United States, the publication
to be selected by the person entitled to receive
it.
It is not necessary that the names of a clnb
should all be at the same post-office. Names
may be taken at any number of places. One
name for two years will be equivalent to two
names for one year each.
All subscriptions must be forwarded to us
at the expense of those sending them.
We will be responsible for the safe transmission
of money only when sent by draft,
registered letter, or money order drawn on the
Yorkville post-office.
In sending names, write plainly, giving postoffice,
county and State.
All subscriptions will be discontinued at the
expiration of the time paid for.
A separate list will be kept for each clubmaker,
who will be credited with every name
sent, so that the number sent by any one person
can be ascertained at a moment's notice.
Persons who commence making clubs, will
not be permitted, after the names have been
entered on our books, to transfer the names to
another club-maker's list.
The time in which additions may be
made to clubs under this proposition, will expire
on the SECOND MONDAY OF MARCH,
1890. Therefore, persons who desire the benefit
of club rates, must subscribe and pay for
the paper before that date, as after the expiration
of that time it will not be furnished for
less than 32.00, unless new clubs are formed.

THE CORBIN DISK HARROW.
-#
It is Simple in Construction and Does
Its Work Thoroughly.
It In Heartily Endorsed by Every J
Farmer Who Has Used It.
THE COBIN DISK HARROW is the invention
of a practical farmer, and is, as now \
ottered to the farming world, the result lit years 4
experience in the manufacture of Agricultural
Implements and combines selctions from over ^
two hundred patent claims. It is superior to
all other harrows in its lightness of draft, perfect
flexibility, regulating lever for adjusting
denth of cut, and case hardened anti-friction
ball bearings, easily oiled and sand proof.
The following are some of the advantages
possessed by the Corbin Harrow overall others:
First, None other has independent gangs,
either of which can fit any ridge or hollow without
c turbing the other*. Second, None other
has chilled journal boxes; those of the Corbin
Harrow are so hard that a file will not scratch
them. Third, Noneother has anti-friction balls
in lis journal ooxes aim an a tuimviucw ..~..w
other has so light a draft. Fourth, None other
can be set at so sharp an angle, owing to the
severe friction on their journal boxes, and as a
consequence none other will pulverize like the
Corbin. Fifth, None other has a successful
SEEDER ATTACHMENT, making it really
two machines in one, at less than the cost of one.
Sixth, None other is so simple is in construction
or so durable. Numerous other advantages
possessed by the Corbin Disk Harrow
could be mentioned, but is unnecessary.
The Disk Harrow is endorsed by the followiuggenllemen,
each of whom is a practical farmer
and knows the valueofsuch an implement
on the farm, and speak from experience: Rob't
E. Guthrie, Guthriesville, S. C. ; Dr. YV. M.
Walker, and W. H. Herndon, Yorkville; Felix
H. Dover, Grover, N. C.; W. O. Guy, Lowrysville,
S.C. ;and in fact by farmers all over the
United States.
WHAT IT WILL DO.
The Corbin Disk Harrow will level rough
land. Will soften a summer fallow. Will
break up clods and lumps. Will pay its cost
by increasing the yield. Will make the best
possible seed bed for grain. Will work around
stumps, in hollows, or on knolls. Will mix
rough manure with the soil as no other harrow
can. Will lift and turn the soil to be fertilized
by the sun and atmosphere. Will cut weeds,
corn stalks, cotton stalks, and roots and bury
them at one operation. Will increase the crop
at least twenty per cent, by reason of its thorough
work. Will prepare grain stubble and
corn stubble and cotton stubble lands for sowing
without using a plow. There is no implement
in the world adapted to more uses, and
none has been more successful in every locality
where introduced. The Corbin Disk Harrow
is intended to successfully take the place of the
Cultivator, Drag, Smoothing Harrow, Spring
Tooth Harrow, Drill, and on some soils the
Plow, for it will do all that any, and more
than most, of these tools will do. Used as a
Seeder it will cover every seed to a uniform
depth. Will pay its cost in seeding grain
alone, as it covers every seed. Will enable the
farmer to. seed four times as many acres in a
day. It will sow all kinds of grain more evenly
than can be done by hand.
Two sizes of disks are used. The smallestsize
is 13 inches in diameter and the'largest 16.
The manufacturers make harrows with 12,
16, 20 and 24 disks each, but experience haa
demonstrated the fact that the 13-inch, 12-disk,
or the 16-incb, 12-disk, six foot cut, is best
adapted to general farm work.
By an especial arrangement with the manu- *
facturers of the Corbin Disk Harrow, we aro
enabled to offer the farmers of York and surrounding
counties this most valuable implement
at unusually low prices?lower than they
have ever before been offered. We make the
following proposition : To any one who will secure
FIFTEEN NEW SUBSCRIBERS at $1.75
each and pay us $24.50 in addition, we will fura
13-inch. 12-disk Harrow, or for FIFTEEN
NEW SUBSCRIBERS, and $26.50 in cash, we
will furnish a 16-inch, 12-disk Harrow.
To persons who do not desire to make a club
we igake this proposition: We will send The
Enquirer for oue year and furnish a 13-inch,
12-disk Harrow for $30; or a 16-inch 12 disk for
$32, which amounts include one year's subscription.
We have several of the 16-inch, 12-Disk Harrows
on hand and can till orders for this size
without delay.
The offer made in our prospectus to furnish
The Enquirer for the balance of this year and
all of next in Clubs to new subscribers at
$1.75, also applies to this proposition.
In every case the money must be pakl when
the name of the subscriber is returned.
The Harrows will be delivered, free of any
further cost, to persons who have complied with
our terms, at any railroad depot within one
hundred miles of Yorkville.
