BLACKSBURfl BUDGET. Why "W. A'iw Readers Were Disappointed Last Week?Better Weather than Our Northern Neighbors?Suffering from Nervous Prostration?A Pleasant Social EventNew Teacher fbr the Graded School?Other Matters. Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. Blackbbubg, March 3.?The only one to blame for the non-appearance of my letter in Thx Enquires last week, was the person to whom I entrusted the mailing of it. The past two months have been a .peculiarly wet season for our section, and although the earth has been for the most part unfit to plow during all that time, yet the water courses, except in a very few instances, have remained within their banks, and consequently little damage has been done by them. Such has not been the case in a less favored region of our country, for in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and other States, the melting snow and ice, with continuous rains, have resulted in destructive floods. Our farmers have not been idle during the rainy season, but have been busy getting their fertilizers and making other preparations for the coming crops. The roads leading to this place are, of course, very muddy KoAiv Ant. mv nu'imr to the rain and the large amount of wagoning done over them; but we do not complain as some of our neighbors do. February left us with a covering of the beautiful snow, but like so many other pleasures, it soon took its departure, and since then we have had rain and a freeze. Now for warm, bright sunshine so that the sunny South will redeem her reputation. Rev. J. A. White is confined to his room by an attack of nervous prostration, induced by overwork, and will be forced to take a much needed rest. The large and handsome water-tank, on the R. and D. road, has been finished, and now supplies daily the passing trains. On Friday evening, the 20th ultimo, at the residence of Dr. Black, an "Apron" party was given by the ladies of the Methodist church, and I understand that socially it was a very pleasant affair, and financially a success. Miss Blanche O'Neil of Columbia, a graduate of the Winthrop Training school, having hcen emnloved in the trraded schools at this place, arrived on Tuesday last, and took charge of her department on Wednesday. The new front for the Iron City hotel, on Shelby street, has been received and is being placed in position. Being of galvanized iron it will present a very handsome appearance, when completed. Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather, work has been pushed with commendable vigor on the entire building, and it will soon be ready to occupy. Hon. D. H. Chamberlain is expected here next week. It is understood that he favors the extension and completion of the Three C'sroad. w. a. PROM UNION COUNTY. Business at Court?"Advance Guard of Winter" Bringing up the Rear?In a Quandary as to Fertilizers?What Becomes of the Grey Mules ? Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. Etta Jaxe, March 2.?From the crowd of jurors, witnesses and suitors that have been passing since early yesterday morning, we think North Pacolet will be represented in the court this week. Most of the cases in our section were of a trivial nature, or such as have been disposed of generally to the satisfaction of the parties Concerned, and consequently we have a small showing on the criminal docket this time. Last Friday evening the advance guard of veritable winter struck this section aud put our people to huddling close to the hearthstone. Saturday evening a rapid snow fall set in with an icy wind blowing from the north. The ground was not sufficiently frozen to retain it and consequently the melting process went on and a fine rabbit season was knocked up. What few days last week the ground would do at all, were put in at the plowsowing oats and gcttiug ready to start a crop. Our fanners are as yet undecided as to j the kind and quality of guano they will use this year. This seems to be rather a knotty problem for our Alliance brethren to solve. All can't think and act the same way as to the time, way and place of making this purchase. It will be infinitely cheaper for us to make our fertilizers than to buy some of the spurious article on the market. Mr. Samuel Jeffries is reported very sick at his home at Gaffney City. Several mules passed here last weeK on tneir way to find purchasers. Notwithstanding the I terrible influx of work animals every year, we can't see but that there is a scarcity at plowing time each year. What becomes of them I can't tell. Waddy Osment says he never has seen a man yet who would acknowledge to have seen a dead gray mule, and has never seen one himself. What becomes of them ? Sigma. FROM ACROSS THE LINE. ! The Weather and the Crops?A Prominent j Citizen Removes to Spartanburg. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Grover N. C.f March 2.?Bad weather for the farmer still prevails. On last Satur-! day we had a nice snow which disappeared yesterday as silently as it came. It seems to-day that it might snow again but for the fact that it is too cold. Wheat and oats are looking well at this time. The spring sowing, however, is greatly retarded on account of wet weather. In fact, all farm work is behind, and it will be hard for some fanners to wait until the ground is dry enough to plow. Nevertheless it is better to wait than to worry, and do well what they do, than to injure the land by plowing too wet. Owing to the bad condition of the roads, the farmers are slow in lay-, ing in their fertilizers this season. So far not a great deal has been sold. < Mr. D. R. Bird and family left here last week to make Spartanburg their future home. Mr. Bird recently purchased the immense stock of goods at Spartanburg belonging to the Farmer's Alliance and has gone i there to take charge of them. c. c. h. THE NEWS AT BLAIRSVILLE. < Status of the Small Grain?It Is Human Na- < ture, That is All?As Against Last Year? 1 About People We Know. Correspondence of The YorkvlUe Enquirer. Blairsville, March 2.?Owing to the , continued raius the farmers in this section \ are very much behind with their farm work, i and it seems almost impossible to get any i plowing done. There was but a light crop i of oats sown last fall. Most of our farmers think that this crop does better when sown J in J'eDruary, dui iney are iiu? wmung lur j half a chance to sow at all. Fall oats are i very promising, and wheat is as good as could be expected, though there is but a small acreage sown. Some of our farmers are still growling about the price of cotton. When they could 1 get 9} cents they would not sell for less than ! 10 cents, and now when they can get but 8J they dou't propose to sell for less than 9. 1 Mr. John L. Rainey informs your correspondent that he threw his gin belt a few j days ago, and that he has ginned 508 bales < of the crop of 1890, which was 103 bales ( more than he ginned last season. A good many farmers are hauling fertili- i zers as well as they can over the dreadful J roads. There will be fully as much com- j mercial fertilizers used this year as last. The Blairsville school will open to-day , under the management of Miss Drucie Deal. < Mrs. Sarah Russdll of Blairsville, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Mattie Castles of Wal halla. She will be absent about three months. A new school house has recently been erected near the residence of Mr. Wm. Ross, and Miss Mary Moore of Guthriesville, has ( been engaged as teacher. ] Miss Kittie Mitchell of Blairsville, is vis- f iting friends and relatives o, White Oak. Miss May Burris of Me lonnellsville, who j has been spending a few days with Miss Se- I nora Nix, has returned home. < Mr. Pressley Youngblood, who was re- ' cently married to Miss Lucy.

C., is one of the most successful as well as most practical farmers of upper South Carolina. Mr. Hope never pays a dollar for a piece of work that he can have done in a far better manner for fifty cents or less. He goes on the principle that a dollar saved is a dollar made. Mr. Hope was in Yorkville a few days ago, and knowing that he owned a Corbin Disk Harrow, we took occasion to talk with him about that most valuable implement. We shall not attempt to repeat all the kind things said about the Harrow by Mr. Hope, but will only give those that are of special interest to farmers at this time in consequence of the delayed condition of all kindH of farm work. He said : "Yes, sir, I own a Corbin Harrow, and have owned it for a number of years. I was the first r?oK'tinn tr\ linv ll hftrrOW. but theV I01111C1 111 ItlJ ?w ^ are quite plentiful now. I don't think I could farm without it. and for two reasons, napaelv: I. The thorough manner in which it does its work, and second, its wonderful speed." "Do you use the harrow in sowing oats, Mr. Hone ? ' "Yes, I sow all my oats with it. I can take a pair of mules and a Corhin Harrow and put in an acre of oats every hour I work, and the -work will be well done." "Did you ever use the harrow for breaking land ?" "Well, I should say I had. I can take my Harrow and break any kind of tillable land to the depth of seven inches and break an acre svery hour I work. This is the way it is done: Ihit a green pine log, of say a foot in circumferance and 4J feet in length, and fasten it to the beam to weight it down and then hitch four mules to it. The harrow will go in the ground :o the axle. Of courso if you only desire to break your ground three inches, you take off four log and only use two mules." I have only a limited supply of Corbin Har ows on hand, and would advise those who conemplate buying a harrow to call without delay. SAM M. GRIST, Sole Agent. HYMENEAL.

THE GREATEST SUCCESS OF THE NINETEETH CENTURY. The Principles of Friendly Societies of England, of the Farmers' Alliance In America, and Mutual Co-Operatlon for the Protection of Widows and Orphans Combined Into One Great Organization and Known as the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association. MR. ;S. B. HAKFKK, rresident or me company, is now stopping at the Kimball House, < n a few days' visit to Atlanta, and is making an inspection tour of the agencies of his Association in the Southern States. Col. T. H. Jones and Henry Krouse, who have offices in the Kimball House, are managers for this Association for Atlanta and vicinity. In response to an inquiry made by a reporter of The Constitution, Prisident Harper stated that the secret of the greai; success of tne Mutual Reserve was because from its foundation it had been the foe of monopolies, the friend of the people, the protector of the widows and orphans, ana had furnished life insurance from the davof its organization, a period often years, at less than one-half the rates charged by the great life insurance monopolies of tne United States and the Old World, and to show its great prosperity, President Harper handed to our reporter a dispatch which he had just received from the Home Offlco in New York: New York. January 12.?To E. B. Harper, President, care of Hugh H. Gordon: Don't hurry home. All smooth. Over $1,000,000 new business to-day (Monday), making $2^)00,000 tills month to date, twelve days, a gain of SI/jOO.OOO over the^aine time last year. Henry J. Reinxund. Second Vice-President. DEATH OF Dk N. J. BDSSEY. Telegraphic Dispatches have Announed the Death or one of Georgia's Famous Citizens. Dr. Bussey was well known throughout the Stnto one of her ablest financiers and most prudent and successful business men. He was For many years President of the Eagle and Phcenix Manufacturing Company of Columbus, and by his wisdom and sagacity, line judgment and valuable experience, did much to make these mills among the most successful and best paying in the South. In an interview with one of the reporters of The Constitution, Mr. E. B. Harper, President of the Mutual. Reserve Fund Life Association, called the attention of the reporter to the sudden death of this popular citizen, and referred to a recent letter which the Association had received from Dr. Bussey, which we with pleasure present to our readers. Dr. Bussey, in this letter, in speaking of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, said: "It has cut outthe weak features and combined the safest and soundest ideas and strongest points gathered from the past history of life Insurance. It has given to the world a new system, which time and experience have proven to be eminently safe and successful, and based upon sound and correct principles. The Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association is the largest Natural Premium Company in the world, and is the vigorous and successful leader of this great reform movement in life insurance. "I carry a policy," soys Dr. Bussey in this letter, "of $10,000, my son 110,000 and my wife $5,000, in this company. The Mutual Reserve has been attacked, anused and slandered so persistently by its natural enemies and competitors?the Old Line high-rate, level-premium companies?that I wished to thoroughly investigate for myself as to its safety, which I did to my entire satisfaction. I am personally well acquainted with its officers, and I do not think the affairs of the association could be in the hands of a safer or more nf man The rtlnn of the associa- I tion speaks for itself, and /urnishes as sound, safe insurance as any of all the Old Line, highrate companies at less than half the cost. I would, not, said the doctor, in conclusion, exchange my policies in the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association for those of any other company, and 1 most heartily recommend it to all my friends as the very best insurance for the least outlay of money." Hon* little did Dr. Bussey think, when writing this letter to the officers of tho Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, that so soon would the claim under his policy of insurance be presented to them for payment. But we imagine that the words expressed and the wisdom displayed by Dr. Bussey in selecting the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association will be fully sustained when the Association shall pay to his widow the f10,000 referred to in this letter, and wo take it for granted that his wife will find t hat the $10,000 which she will reeeive from the Mutual Reserve Association will be just as good and will go just as far as the like sum, should she have received it from any other life insurance company, no matter if such life insurance company had charged her husband, Dr. Bussey, twice tne rates charged by the Mutual rteserve Aivwiaiiuii, In other words, $10,000 in cash to Mrs. Bussey j at this time is worth iust twice as much as $5,000 from any other life insurance company which > would have cost the same amount of premiums. In this connection, President Harper, before leaving forNew York, placed in the hands of the reporter of the Constitution the following indorsements and letters of commendation from two other leading citizens of the city of Atlanta, i These gentlemen ure known throughout the State* for their ability iu finances and for their prudence in business matters, and we heartily commend to the readers of The Constitution the letters which we nresent from Mr. George Winship, presidentof the Winship Machine Co., and Mr. w. B. Miles, president or the Atlanta Bridge and Axle Co.: atlanta, Ga., October 30,1800. T. H. JONES, General Manager Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association. Dear Sir: I take pleasure In saying that I hold a policy for ftJO.OOO In the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association of New York. I took It ufter a careful comparison with the plans and rates of other leading life lusuxnnce companies. I made a thorough and satisfkctcry examination of the financial standing of the conrpany, the character of Its management, and its promptness In paying all Just claims, and found It all I could desire. It gives me more than double the amount of Insurance I could get In the "Old Line" ! companies for the same money, and I consider It as prompt, reliable and trustworthy as any other company. Its safety and security 1 regard as beyond question; and I think there are few men who would not plhce their insurance in the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association if they properly understood Its plan. I cordially commend the company to all who wish to secure the best Insurance and the largest amount of Insurance for the least outlay of money. Yours truly, GEORGE WINSHIP, President Wlnshlp Machine Co. Atlanta, Ga., October 27, 1800. T. H. JONES, General Agent Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association. Dear Sir : Four years ago I took out a 85,000 policy In the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association. Last year I was so well pleased with the excellent management and wonderful growth and prosperity of the company that I placed another policy for 810,000 through your agency; and I am now so well satisfied with the security offered by the Mutual Reserve, Its promptness In paying Its death losses, and Its reasonable rates, that J. have recently upplled for 815,000 more, which is the maximum amount the compuny will place on any one risk. I am so thoroughly convinced of the soundness, safety, and honest prudent management'of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, thai I would gladly place 850,000 of Insurance In that company If I could get It. I consider my Insurance as safe, and my family as surely protected, for the full amount of my policy with the Mutual Reserve, as they would be with any other company In the world. In the meantime, they are protected with more than twice the amount of Insurance that the same money which I pay to the Mutuul Reserve would provide for them In the Old Line, lA'vel Premium, High Rate I.lfe Insurance companies. If the sound system, equitable plan, and liberal, pluln policy contract of the Mutual Reserve, with Its low rates, were rightly understood by our people, I think there would be few men who would not place all the Insurance they wanted, or could curry, in that reliable company. Very truly yours, W . H. MILE8, President Atlanta Bridge and Axle Co. Wo call the attention of our readers to the fact that the Mutual Reserve Fund Association has already paid to widows and orphans of deceased members more than ten million dollars in cash. That its payments in cash for 1890 alone exceeded $2,000,000, and has averaged $1,000,000 of disbursements for death claims every year since its organization. It iM also important for our readers to know that it has already saved to Ks members by reduction of premiums, more than $25,000,000, and it has already received applications for membership from more than one hundred thousand citizens of this country. It has u cash surplus reserve and emergency fund of nearly three millions of dollars. The great Central Trust Co., in New York, is the trustee of its reserve fund, which is held for the exclusive use and benefit of its members. The American Loan and Trust Co., iu New York, is trustee of its emergency fund, and through said emergency fund, the association is able to nay each and every death claim long before it is ilue. Its first Vice-President is Mr. o. ji. jjaiuwin, who was for ninny years the president of the Fourth National Rank of New \ork, which is known throughout the land, as having the largest amount of deposits, and the largest volume of exchanges of any hank in America. Its second Vice-President is lion llenry J. Keininund, who was for many years the insurance commissioner of the State of Ohio, and who accepted the olllce after a personal investigation as Insurance Commissioner. The treasurer of the association is Hon. John W. Vrooinan, who was president of the Herkimer County National Rank, and who resigned said position to accept the otliee of treasurer of the Mutual Reserve Association. Mr. Vrooman is also present Hraud Master of Masons of the <>mnd Lodge of the State of New York, the largest grand body of the fraterity except that over which the Prince of Wales presides for Croat Rritaiu and Ireland. The association is also honored by having as itH otllcers many other distinguished gentlemen known throughout the length and breadth of our country for integrity and financial ability. It is to the credit of tho Mutual Reserve Fund Association that it has firmly established its business in Kuglaud, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, Rclgium, (Jerninny, Sweden and Finland, and in these foreign countries, although an American institution, it is fast becoming equally popular as in its own home country. The above article from The Constitution shows very plainly how the Mutual Reserve stands in (Jeorgia with those who have thoroughly investigated its standing in the financial world, and its ability to carry out any contract it may make. I have in my possession a number of documents j equully as strong as any of the above. I I shall be pleased to furnish any desired information as to how to secure insurance in this company, ami also as to prices. If you desire life insurance at a reasonable rate, you can't atl'ord to ignore the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association. J. S. HRICK, (Icn'l Agent, Yorkville, S. C.

' Though the chill blast op winter has not yet spent its fury, the spring time and the season of flowers is near at hand; the reason when all is hopeful and the youths of the f land are filled with sentiments of bright antici- . pation; the season when enthusiasm crowds from our memories the hardships of a stormy 1 winter. This season, we say, is near at hand, and as "this is a record-breaking year," we propose to maintain our reputation as being the Largest and most reliable dealers in millinery and dress goods. clothing and fine shoes, in the upper part of the state. We propose to do it by merit, the quality of our goods and prices. You seldom find a lady or gentleman in this , section who is perfectly satisfied that they are stylishly or faslionably dressed unless their garments were either made or bought at LARIMER'S PALACE BAZAR. This coming sea- , son will demonstrato this feeling more than ever, , for we have exerted ourselves to the utmost and ' made preparations that we never dared make before. Our stock of SPRING CLOTHING, a part of which has already been received, was bought by experienced buyers, with a view to supplying our evergrowing fastidious ttade, and if ft don't satisfy the people, why then experience is a myth and our judgment is a failure. But, before we go too far or say too much about our Swine Goods, we desire to call your attention to' the fact that the bumble-bee bas not yet ventured out from his winter quarters, nor nas nature unwound the cocoon from the butterliy, which is an evidence that Overcoats, Blankets and Light-weight Winter Clothing will yet be demanaed.
