1 ANOTHER THEORY BUSTED.
B A widow who was going to leave the city
held an auction of her household effects yesterday,
and everything went at prompt
sale until little but the bedstead was left.
Just before this was put up some of the
women went to spying around and discovered
that it was infested by bed-bugs. This
fact was noised around until it came to the
ears of the auctioneer who mounted his box
and said:
"Words cannot express the poignancy of
my sorrow over the base canard which has
been put in circulation in this crowd. I
have sold goods in this town for twenty-nine
long years, and this is the first instance in
which hncrs have been permitted to step be
tween me an J the purchasing public. Ladies
and gentlemen, if there is a bug in or
about that bedstead I want to see him. I
cannot and will not believe there is. It
would be a slander?a most foul slander?on
the character of this worthy widow, who is
about to remove to the State of Ohio."
Being invited to step down and view the
bugs for himself he made an inspection.
They were galloping in and out and up and
down, and it was no use to dispute the fact.
"Ladie3 and gentlemen," said the auctioneer
as he resumed his post, "I found bugs.
I don't exactly remember the Latin name
for them, but they are there. And now let me
talk to you as a friend. Bedbugs were not
made for gaudy show, nor were they made
for a life of ease. It is a law of nature that
they should inhabit bedsteads. They can
no more go out under the barn and make a
living than a dog can become an eagle and
float through space. The aversion among
^ you to this insect is founded on false principles.
His bite scarcely irritates the sleeper,
but it cleanses and purifies the blood. But
for bedbugs in this country we should all
have boils and carbunkles. They keep

remove corns without pain. The great "
"fifty cents!" called an old woman who
remembered that she had a remedy at home.
"Fifty cents! I am offered fifty cents for
a $10 bedstead, and as I was going to say,
the great Napoleon always asked for a bed
with bugs in it. I am offered fifty cents,
and yet Caesar had his bugs. I am?"
"One dollar."
"I am offered one dollar, and yet the poets
of Greece immortalized the insects before
, you. This widow tells me that she has not
had an ache or pain since the first bug made
? his apperance. How many of you have read
what Homer wrote of them? What was
the fountain of Mozart's twelfth mass?"
And yet I?"
"Two dollars."
"And yet I hear only $2! Do you have
the headache ? Are you afflicted with giddiness
? Do you have roaring in the ears ?"
"Three dollars!"
"My friends let me go home and get my
copy of Paradise Lost ah& read to you one
short chapter. What did Milton? ?"
"Four dollars!"
"Ah! I begin to see that art and culture
are not unknown to the audience. Did
Alexander the Great have boils? Never,
not a one! And why ?"
"Five dollars!"
"I am bid $5. I would like to quote one
verse from a well known Latin poet, but
time presses and this bedstead is sold for $5
cash on the nail. I will now direct your
cultured attention to that cookstove with a

nel D., one of the civilian .clerks of that establishment,
was once witty. The force of
this fact might possibly be lost upon those
who do not know this gentleman as a strict
adherent to the pomp and dignity to the old
school, dry as dust, a firm believer in all
sorts of sobriety, a wearer of collars reminiscent
of stocks, and the possessor of the style
of a Turveydrop. The story is laid at one
of" those socio-official receptions that are the
predominant feature of Washington's winter
festivities, where everybody with an office
meets everybody who has ever held an office
and a great many others who would like
offices. It so happened that a bill was then
pending in congress providing for a material
and,comfortable increase in the salaries of
certain naVal clerks, including the staid colonel,
who, as was his wont, was present on
this occasion in all the glory of correct at
tire. Deftly managing to obtain an introduction
to a prominent and influential statesman
whose services were just then peculiarly
desirable to anybody, the veteran diplomatist
seized his first opportunity to advance
the interests of the bill, and when he
had securely corralled his victim in a corner
away from the crowd, he proceeded to impress
upon his mind the grave necessity of
just such legislation as that bill contemplated.
It chanced that he inadvertently mentioned
the fact that he was one of the wouldbe
beneficiaries, whereat the senator, who
was immensely bored, and anxious to avoid
the embarrassment of promising his support,
thought to discouut his assailant by remarking,
in a tone of grave surprise: "Why my
dear sir, I cannot see why you should want
more salary. I am sure I am not exaggerating
when I say that you are one of the very
best dressed men here."
The colonel was unmoved, and with great
dignity he replied: "Quite true, sir?quite
true. You may be right, senator, but you
should see my under-clothes."
A Sovereign Remedy.?A Jycung physician
commencing practice had among his first
patients an uncommonly unclean infant
brought to his office in the arms of a mother
whose face showed the same abhorrence
of soap. Looking down upon the child a
moment he solemnly remarked :
"It seems to be suffering from hydropathic
hydrophobia."
"Och, docther, dear is it as bad as that?"
cried the mother. "That's a big sickness for
such a mite. Whatever shall I do for the
crathur?"
"Wash its face, madam; the disease will
go off with the dirt."
"Wash its face?wash its face, indade !"
exclaimed the matron losing her temper.
"What next, I'd like to know?"
"Wash your own, madam--wash your own."
W3T One of the oldest colored men who
hang around the streets looking for a job recently
approached one of the commission
merchants on the street, and after considerable
shuffling around exclaimed, "Say, boss,
I wants ter ax yer a question." "All right,
go ahead." "I kin git my furnicher insured
for $400." "Yes?" "And it will only cost
me four dollars." "Well ?" "S'pose I had

Morning, sah!"
t&F A family consisting of a father and his
three son3, by the name of Beaver, hard
"pets," had often laughed to scorn a pious
though eccentric minister. One of the boys
was bitten by a rattlesnake, and was expected
to die, when the minister was sent for.
He found the young man very penitent.
The minister, calling on the family, kneeled
down and prayed in this wise : "O Lord, we
thank thee for the rattlesnakes. We than^
thee because a rattlesnake has bitten Jim.
We pray thee send a rattlesnake to bite John ;
send one to bite Bill; and, O Lord, send the
biggest kind of a rattlesnake to bite the old
man ; for nothing but rattlesnakes will bring
the Beaver family to repentance!"
In the Eyes of Youth.?It is told of
Bishop Doane, of Albany, that while dining
recently at the house of one of his friends,
he was pleased to observe that he was the
nhiprt. nf marked attention from the small
son of his host, whose eyes were riveted upon
him. After dinner the bishop approached
theboy,?nd said:
"Well, my young friend, you seem to be
interested in me. Do you find that I am all
right?"
"Yes, sir," returned the boy, with a glance
at the bishop's knee breeches, "you're all
right, but say, won't your mamma let you
wear long pants yet?"

FARMERS' OPPORTUNITIES.
One great hindrance to success on a cotton
farm is found in the unnecessary delay in
sale of products. A merchant s ells his goods
and realizes at once his profits. A professional
man renders his service and receives
his reward.
A farmer works his weary twelve mouths
and waits and labors ynder drought and
rain and mildew and blight and then takes
his chances with all the misfortunes of crowded
markets, low prices and the disadvantages
of trade.
Can we not in some way reduce this long
suspense?from January to January?hanging
as it were between despair and hope, and
absolutely beyond the power of any man to
forecast ? Is there not some remedy for this
long waiting? The twelve mouths are at- :
tended with so many chances of failure to
the cotton farmer, and the experience of the ,
last twenty years has so plainly demonstrated
the adverse chances, that for many rea- ]
snns we should beirin to counsel a change.
There is no more opportune time than now .
to call attention to the possible changes for
the better.
Farmers have just housed their wheat and 1
oats. If a larger area were sown to small
grain, and at this season these crops were '
put upon the markets, the long strain would
be somewhat broken by the income of an ]
acceptable amount from this source.
In many sections of the extreme Southern ]
States wheat does not do so well, but in al- (
most all sections, with proper manuring and
tillage, enough can be grown to meet imme- ,
diate family demands, and in this way save 1
expenditure for purchase. Money saved is
money made.
Oats do well in all territory reached by j
The Southern Cultivator. Our farmers do 1
not expend upon the crop proper care. The
soil is too thiu for good resul ts. If quite a '
good deal of the manure given to cotton '
were reserved for oats, and the stubble then
burned and the land sown to peas, the fer- i
tility of the farm would be greatly iucreased, s
and a good many crops secured at a season
when farmers need financial relief. Just ]
now, I say, is a good time for farmers to real- <
ize how nicely a good sum for oats sold
would fill up the necessities on the farm. ]
To this it may be replied that the oats the ?
past season have not paid for the expense of
tillage, to say nothing of profit. And I r
might again reply they never do when they '
are as carelessly grown as during the past
season. I have seen oats arid wheat at the
Experiment Station this season just as good J
as farmers could desire to have them. We
must catch on to better methods, and we
will have better results. Abandon the plan J
of scarifying some barren hills late in the 1
spring, and scattering oats over them with
the expectation of getting a crop. When t
we improve our plans, we will improve our 1
bank accounts. ,
Farmers should grow more hay. It re- f
quires but little or no care. It improves the {
soil. It prevents washing, and covers a deal
of unsightliness about the farm. t
Hay would be in demand at this season, j
Carloads of it are being drawn through the
streets of this city every day. Making hay j
is an easy way to make money. The methods
for saving and handling are so much improved,
that there is almost no manual labor
connected with it. A few hundred dollars ^
from sale of oats, and a few hundred more
from sale of hay, would come in an opportune
time on -the farm just now. 1
How about sheep ? Wool is always in de- c
mand at remunerative prices. Sheep cost
but little in this latitude, and an occasional I
lamb goes well on the dinner table in the a
spring. Sheep have paid me as large divi- c
dends ou the farm as any other industry I
have tried. $50 or $100 from wool, added j
to a nice income from honey and poultry t
grown for market, would make excellent op- c
portunities for farmers. This is the most
favorable season to forecast the future in this r
line, as farmers are just now in condition to (
know how much pleasant relief a few hun- ?
dred dollars would bring. Let us change
our methods, and make more resources for .
money.?W. J. Northen in Southern Culti- 1

PLANTING ONIONS IN THE FALL.
If properly mulched before the weather ^
gets too cold onions can be planted in the i
fall. One of the principal advantages iu 1
planting in the fall is that the work is done,
the seed or sets have germinated, and when i
the season opens in the spring they are ready j
to start to grow. As earliness is necessary |
in growing a good crop of onions this is quite
an item. The sooner onions are planted in j

! planting in the fall they will get several days (
to grow earlier than if the planting was not
done until spring. October is a good time
to do the plantiug, although in a favorable j
season the planting may be done as late as '
November with good results. 1
To grow a good crop of onions, it is very
necessary to have a strong, rich soil thorough- J
ly prepared. It is difficult to have the soil 1
too rich, and while it is bes t, when it can be 1
done, to use well rotted and fine manure,
yet when this cannot be done, fresh, coarse )
manure can be used: Poultry manure is a ;
good fertilizer for onions. A good plan of ap- '
plying is to prepare the soil all ready for the
seeds or sets and then apply the poultry ma- ]
nure as a top dressing, working it into the <
surface with a a rake ; or it can be applied <
broadcast after the planting is done.
Onions grow very near the surface, and <
whatever fertilizer is applied should be on or
uear the surface. \
If the cultivation is to be doue by hand,
either with the hoe or garden cultivator,
twelve or fifteen inches is about the right 1
distance to mark out the rows; but if the ]
horse cultivator is to be used, two or two
and a half feet apart will be best.
Do not mark out the rows" too deep. In
nearly all cases shallow planting will give '
the best result. Press the soil down on the 1
sets after covering so as to get a good start to ]
grow. Before the weather gets too cold a '
good mulch should be applied. When it can I
be had fresh, coarse manure is a good material
to use for this purpose. Wheat straw ]
can be used; oat straw or hay should not i
be used, because as a rule they contain too j
many seeds. 1
The best time to apply the mulch is after |
there is a light freeze. By this plan onions
can be grown for market several days earlier j
I than if planting is delayed until spring, and ;
in many cases a few days will make a con- <
siderable difference in the price.?St. Louis i

Politeness at Home.?Politeness, a due ,
j and proper regard, that is, for the feelings, |
| wishes and pleasures of other people, is the
thing that, perhaps of ail others, renders life ,
i the easiest and pleasantest; it is the oil that j
! enables all the wheels of the complex ma|
chinery of social life to work satisfactorily, j
| What a pity it is, then, that it should be disregarded,
as it so frequently is, in domestic .
life, the place where, of all others, its soft- 1
j ening influence is the most required. Many 1
j of the most bitter and irreparable disagree- '
I ments in married life have arisen, not from 1
; any want of absolute affection, but from a j
| carelessness on one side or the other, frequently
on both, as to the manner in which
; subjects on which there may be a difference
of opinion are remarked upon. It is almost 1
! impossible that two people can, even though '
i they be husband and wife, think alike on <
| every subject; the probabilities are that on J
j many their opinions will be widely different,
i Why, however, should they not be as politely '
; tolerant of each other's views in private as :
! conventionality would force them to be in ,'
public. Men are the worst offenders, per:

j life than do women. Still, this reflection 1

husband punctilious iu helping other women ,

MACADAM ROADS.
The System by "Which the Highways of York
Can be Transformed.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
Old John Macadam was one of the greatest
benefactors the farmers of England ever
had. He found the highways of Great Britain
in a bad condition, and spent the best
part of his life trying to improve them. He
succeeded in transforming almost the whole
of the immense mileage of country roads,
and his system is now in operation, not only
in England, but throughout a part of the
continent of Europe.
The Constitution presents below a description
of the Macadam system, as he has seen
it in operation in England, and it will be
seen, from what he says, that good and permanent
roads may be made at moderate cost.
Mr. J. Forsyth Johnson, who furnishes the
description, is a landscape engineer and garden
architect, who was formerly curator of
the royal botanic garden at Belfast and horticultural
dirpptnr r\f 1\hr? Alpvnndrin. tmlnpo
V.VUiVU.M. V...VVVV. v. V..V ? rMawvv)
London. Here is his article:
macadam's method ok making roads.
The quality and permanency of a road depend
to a great extent upon the way in which
it is made at first, but we are afraid that road
making is almost a lost or little understood
art. Agents, gardeners and others may often
succeed, after much labor and experience, in
constructing a tolerably good "permanent
way," but it is not every one who understands
how to set about it at the beginning,
or the first principles of road making. Let
os take an example or two of mauy that
could be furnished. A gentleman who has
spent thousands of pounds on his parks and
estates, among other improvements, laid out
some miles of new roads. These were cut
out in the ordinary way, and then filled in
higgledy-piggledy five inch or six inch deep,
with water-worn grc.vel, fine and rough together,
which never nettled into a crust, but
worked constantly to the surface, leaving the
road in a continually uncomfortable state for
both wheel and foot traffic. In the other
case the road-metal used wos of the wrong
lescription, being too soft, and it was laid
upon the road before the bottom was settled
uniformly, which resulted in the road becoming
uneven and full of hollows which had to
be filled up afterwards, making the surface
ippear, if anything, more patchy and uneven
ffian it did before. Eventually the roads
were hacked up again after a few years and
macadamized properly under the superinl

ind from that day to this?nigh twenty years
igo?they have required no attention save
iccasional hoeing at the sides and sweeping
with a broom. After the heaviest rains or
prolonged wet weather, they are soon dry
ind comfortable, the water disappearing from
he surface immediately, and at ordinary
times are as smooth as a pavement.
Macadam demonstrated long ago that by
lis system roads can be made both cheaply
ind well, if his instructions be carried out as
hey should be, and perhaps we could not do
letter than to quote them here. He says:
'For the foundation of a road it is not neces- j
lary to lay a substratum of large stones, pavenent,
etc., as it is a matter of indifference
whether the substratum be hard or soft; and
f any preference be due, it is to the latter.
The metal for roads must consist of broken
itones (granite, flint or whinstone is by far
he best); these must in no case exceed six
lunces each in weight, and stones of from
>ne ounce to two ounces are all to be prefer ed.
The large stones in the road arc to be
oosened and removed to the side, where they
ire to be broken into pieces of the regulation
weight; and the road is then to be smoothid
with a rake, so that the earth may settle
lown into the holes from which the large
itones were removed; the broken metal is
hen to be carefully spread over it, and as
his. operation is of great importance to the
"uture quality of the road, the metal is not
:o be laid on in shovelfuls to the requisite
lenth. but to be scattered in shovelful afler
X J ihovelful
till a depth of from six to ten inch's,
according to the quality of the road, has
)een obtained. The road is to have a fall,
rom the middle to the sides, of about one
hot in sixty feet, and ditches are to be dug
)n the field side of the fences to a depth of a ,
few inches below the level of the road."
Now, Macadam whose system has superseded
nearly every other in this aad continental
countries, speaks of ordinary country
roads calculated to sustain heavy traffic and
the greatest depth of metal recommended is
ten inches. For carriage drives and park
roads half that depth is often considered sufficient,
and we can state that, if the directions
here be followed out particularly as regards
leveling the bottom of the road and
allowing it to settle, and the spreading of the
metal five inches or six inches is sufficient;
and for this depth of stones it is not necessary
to dig out the road deeply, nor to remove
much more than the turf, in fact; this
will allow the road to be a little higher in
the middle than the ground at the sides
which will permit the water more readily to
run off. Macadam's object was not to. allow
the water to drain through amongst the
atones and settle in the bottom to make a
puddle of the soft soil beneath, but to make
a hard and impermeable crust that would
throw the water off at the: sides.
More depends, it may be said, upon the
making of the road than upon the quantity
of material used, and the most essential
points are a level and well-settled bottom and
the regular spread of the si ones. Thin macadamized
roads have been made over peat
bogs, and they stood, and we have seen carriage
roads laid with only four inches of
stones on a loam bottom that had not budged
after years of traffic. It may be added that
it is not necesary for the whole of the road
to be of hard stone, such as whinstone, if it
be not easily procured. Soft stones, or even
broken brick will do for the purpose; but
these must be laid in the bottom, and the top
layer must consist of hard stones, which
should be broken small, and the finest saved
for spreading on the surface as binding material.
Above all, it is essential that the
stones should be angular in shape, and for
this reason they must be broken. Some use I
sifted water-worn stones or gravel, but such j
material shifts under the traffic and then the j
crown of the road gives way. .
MEN GIROWIXU SCARCE.
Statistics show that the male population
of the civilized world is falling further and
further behind the female.
According to the last British census the ex-1
cess of women and girls over men and boys
in Great Britain is about 900,000, an increase
in ten years of nearly 200,000. The German
census of last December places the number
of females about 000,000 above that of the
males in the kingdom of Prussia, or nearly
three times the excess of twenty years ago.
There are more females than males in the
whole German empire. In Sweden ami Norway
the "weaker sex" are in the majority
by 250,000, in Austria-Hungary by 000,000,
in Denmark by 00,000, and in every European
country they outnumber the males.
In the United States, Canada and AuxtraI!..
.1 1?? U.l,? tl.rm.rl, ?r.t !
llil I lie lliuica ill III IIIC Jimju.ii;, wav/i??, ?* ??v/v
largely so, the estimated excess of males in
this country being only 1,100,000 or 1,200,-1
000. It is plain that, but for immigration, j
which furnishes a much greater number of j
men than women, the latter would soon be ]
in the majority here. There is a large pre- i
poiulerance now of females in New England i
and in some other sections of the United {
States, and if immigration were to material- '
ly decrease, undoubtedly the surplus of males I
would soon disappear in the whole country.'
In less civilized countries, where women 1
are lightly esteemed, it is otherwise, India |
having about (i,000,000 more men than women,
while the males largely preponderate
in China. The obvious deduction is that the
higher civilization is most favorable to the
increase of the female sex, and this suggests
the interesting question whether eivilizatlw>
wnvM in
LIUII 125 UUlll^ lliv; uwv 1?? *? %, HVim III
producing this suit.
A fact of hardly less interest brought out
by the British census is the marked decline
in the marriage rate, which has been almost
steadily tending downward for nearly two
decades. Meantime there has been an even
more decided decline in the birthrate, so
that not not only is marriage decreasing, but j
marriages are becoming less prolific on the
average. There is the same tendency in ;
this country, prevailing chiefly among the ;
better classes. An excess of females in a !
country is certain to have an unfavorable;
influence on the marriage rate, and the
moral consequences of such a state of affairs I
can easily be conceived.
It costs something to live, and a good i
deal to die.;, in fact, everything costs, says a
bright exchange. Some one estimates that
getting born costs the people of the United
States $250,000,000 annually; getting mar- |
ried, $300,000,000 dollars; a nd getting buried,
$75,000,000. It might be added that getting
drunk costs the people of the United States
more than $900,000,000 annually, or over
one and a half times as much as getting
born, married and buried put together, and
more than all the bread and meat consumed
in the nation.
Fastest Possible Railrod Time.?Many |
questions have been asked concerning the I
highest possible speed that we may ever expect
to attain by a railway locomotive. An
English magazine, The Engineer, submits
statements to prove that eighty miles an
hour is the highest possible speed, giving the
following arguments to prove its point:
Because no greater velocity has ever been
attained. '
Because of the resistance of the air
Because of the back pressure in the cylin- .
Because of the amount of power which ]
must be lost in imparting violent motion to ^
masses of metal which can make no return
when coming to rest. ?
Because of the swinging; of the engine; (
the excessive vibrations of its parts, the jar j
and concussion all operating to keep down
the speed.
Because of the extraordinary retarding in- j
fluence of very moderate rising gradients. ,
Because of the coupling-rod?it appears '
that coupling an engine tends to keep down 1
the speed.
An eminent American authority, in re
viewing the Englishman's arguments as
above given, says: "This scarcely settles the ^
matter. There is not a defect in the mechan- (
ism which may not possibly be improved. t
The whole question depends on the resist- *
ance of air and of friction. The resistance ^
of mechanical friction does not increase with /
the speed, but with the load drawn. With
accessions of motive power this resistance
may be neutralized and the velocity in- f
creased. With a smooth, solid and stable q
trackway and improved mechanism there t
appears to be no reason why trains may not *
attain a speed of 100 miles an hour.
Stonewall Jackson's Nerve.?Since 1
? T--1 l_ 1
tue unveiling 01 Dion e wan jucksuu ? aimuc this
story about the Confederate general has ?
come to light: On one rainy day, while ^
advancing on Rull Run, he started out to
reconoiter in person, and got caught on the ]
wrong side of a bridge guarded by a field t
piece and some Federal artillerymen.* When ^
he discovered this Jackson did not hesitate
a moment. Galloping up behind the men he 1
shouted out to the officer in command: ?
"Who directed you to put that gun on the ,
road? Take it away and mount it in the
woods on the hill yonder. 1 never saw such 1
a piece of folly. Here in the open ground ?
your men will be shot down from the brush j
on the other side." On he went as though
in a terrible passion, berating the officer, who *
colored, saluted, apologized and hastily gave /
the order for removing the gun. |
Jackson, with his staff at his heels, galloped
off to the left, as though to pass down the *
stream, made a sudden turn, thundered i
across the bridge and escaped. The befud- (
died officer in command of the gun had not
gone far when he suspected something wrong I
but he did not discover who the stranger <
was until next day.?Chicago Post. c

THE IAN
WITH A THUMB
18 THE TITLE OF
#
)or New Story, to lie Commenced in TIG
ENQUIRER, with tie Issne of
November 21st, 1891.
The man with a thumb,
is a detective story of absorbing
interest, filled with thrilling and
dramatic incidents of american
life in the great metropolis,
md .is from the facile pen of W.
2. Hudson, whose nom de plume
!s Barclay North, the author of
The Diamond Button, which was
published in THE ENQUIRER
md which created such widespread
nterest only a few months ago.
This story is based on facts and
s true to life, and it reveals secrets
vhich are locked up in the hearts
)f numbers of people. W. C. Hudson
writes no poor stories and " The
Man With a Thumb" is the best
'hat he has ever written !
The story is narrated in pure
jxpressive English without a waste
)f words, and is decidedly a better
story than "The Diamond Button."
The plot is even more ingenious and
s developed with greater skill and
licety. Two profound mysteries
ire intricately interwoven, 'and it
:akes twenty-three chapters of expert
detective work to unravel
:hem. The characters are strongly
Irawn from life, and the incidents,
vhile thrilling and sometimes
startling, are perfectly natural and
iltogether probable. The movenents
of the characters are rapid
md continuous and THE INTEREST
NEVER FLAGS! Every
sentence te?ids to the development of
'he drama! There is no wandering
)y the wayside?no groping for the
:hisness of the thus. The denouenent
is a happy and appropriate
me, but the astute reader finds his
>rpconceived iudement ruthlessly
- ^ o shattered.
He is deprived of the
satisfaction of saying, "I told you
>o !" There is no forestalling Mr.
Hudson.
Probably one of the greatest
:harms of Charles Dickens's novels
was the realistic description of
places. His characters were living
)eings and he shows you the scenes
vhere they lived and moved. "THE
MAN WITH A THUMB" possesses
this same fascinating trait,
fou may trace the characters
:hrough the streets of New York to
;he very houses where the principal
scenes of the drama were enacted.
WATCH FOR THE OPEN[NG
CHAPTERS, which will be
:ommenced next week. Read the
irst installment and you will follow
it to the hnis.

withal is a story of remarkable

BUGGY TO BE
As a Premium for the Largesl
to the YOEKVILI
i
LAST year, by an arrangement with the HOL- r
LER A ANDERSON BUGGY CO., of Rock e
Hill, S. C., we were enabled to offer one of their C
popular No. 2 Road Carta as a premium to club t
makers. We are pleased to announce that this r
year we are enabled, by an arrangement with the 2
same company, to surpass all previous efforts, t
In fact we don't believe that greater inducements a
have ever been offered to club makers by any
county newspaper in the South than we are pre- f
pared to offer, and we think the above assertion r
will be endorsed by the friends and readers of \
The Enquirer after reading our prospectus for r
1892, which will appear next week. i
We Want to Tell Yon Something \
About the Holler A Anderson Buggy Co. It is s
composed of thoroughly reliable men and they o
are entirely familiar with their business. They a
have only been manufacturing for the wholesale
trade for about four or five vears. but the repu
tation of their work is fast spreading in every
direction. They build as durable, as fine and as
well finished work as is either made or sold in
the South. At least that is what those who claim c
to know, say about it. 1
We Have Determined * i
This year to offer one of their celebrated Buggies <
as a premium to the club maker who may securo f
and pay for the largest number of NEW SUBSCRIBERS
between NOVEMBER 1, 1891, and ]
the SECOND MONDAY IN FEBRUARY. 1892,
up to 1 o'clock, p. m., and we would call the c
attention of all who desire to compete for this e
very desirable premium to what will be said in (
reference to it in our prospectus which will
appear next week.
