An exchange relates the following good i stories of candidates who thought they had received calls to preach the gospel: i A young man of African descent offered himself to tho church as a minister, stating ^ that he had a dream in which he plainly saw G. P. C. in large letters, which he inter- i pre ted to mean go and preach Christ. A venerable brother who did not have a very exalted view of his young brother's qualifi- J cations, spiritually and mentally, said he did not dohbt the vision of the letters, but his ' interpretation of G. P. C. meant to go plow corn and go pick cotton. That settled the < matter, and the church advised the young aspirant for ministerial honors to follow the 1 vision as interpreted by the venerable brother. i A good many years ago John Smith, fa- ? miliarly called "Raccoon John," was pastor of a church in eastern Kentucky. A half- ' witted enthusiast applied for license to j preach, and all the persuasions and efforts of the deacons and members failed to induce him to abandon the idea. He honest believ- 1 ed he was called. The church was sorely 1 ru>n\)aT<v1 -n-Vion tha nasinr arrived on his monthly visit. When the matter was stated s to him, he advised the brethren to let it come 1 up in conference. At the proper time, the young man, who happened to have very J large feet, presented himself as a candidate 1 for the ministry. "My young brother," said the preacher, "if I prove by the Bible that 1 you are not called to preach, will you with- s draw your application ?" "Yes," he answered without hesitation. Opening the j Book at Romans, x : 4, Mr. Smith read : j "How beautifUl are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace." Pointing to . the pair of number twelves before him, he added, "your feet cannot be called beautiful, brother." The argument was conclusive and had the desired effect. * , ^ t ^ Ransom Cheese.?Uncle Billy Stokes, a colored individual from one of the back coun- j ties in Mississippi, where old-fashioned wag- j ons with wooden axles are still in use and where the primitive "tar bucket" is part of ( their "running gear," was in Canton, Miss., ( a few days ago standing in front of Matt Hitler's store, watching the unloading from drays j of newly arrived goods. One dray contained besides several barrels of groceries, a number of boxes of cheese and a dozen or two boxes of patent axle grease. Uncle Billy's j eyes rested on the latter, and he inquired: ' "Mars Hiller, what yer ax for one ob dem ' little cheeses ?" "Only fifty cents, Billy; do you wan't | one?" was Mr. Hitler's reply. "Wal, yes, boss; but ef I buy de cheese > will you frow in de crackers ?" "C)f course I will," said Mr. Hiller, as he t handed Uncle Billy a box of the axle grease ] and then passed'behind his counter and took ( a handful of crackers from a box and gave them to the old man. 4 Uncle Billy then went to the back door of < the store and seating himself on an empty { dry goods box, proceeded to enjoy his lunch. He had been there about five minutes when ( Mr. Hiller concluded he would see what ( progress he was making; so, going to the { door, he saw the old man, with his barlow . knife in hand, spreading the grease on a f cracker, while his jaws were vigorously j working and his mouth and chin covered ^ with crumbs and grease. "Well, Uncle Billy," said Mr. Hiller, "how do you like your lunch ?" i rm u v:? nahf I JLU6 Old UUfcU rcsbcu uia AUHC VU *US ?*^MV knee, and, drawing a heavy sigh, replied: * "Boss, dem ar crackers are pow'ful good; Jjut, lor, boss, dis am de ransomest cheese, i fb God, I ever tasted." 1 e The Class in Scripture.?A lady asked j one of her children in her Sunday-school class, "What was the sin of the Pharisees ?" ^ "Eating camels ma'am," was the reply. The ^ little girl had read that the Pharisees strained ^ at gnats and swallowed camels." "In what j condition was the Patriarch Job at the end of his life ?" questioned a teacher of the stolid looking boy at the foot of the class. "Dead," 6 was the quiet response. "What is the outward c and visible sign in baptism ?" asked a lady } of her class. There was silence for some 1 seconds, and then a little girl broke in trium- 8 phantly with, "The baby, please ma'am." "Do you know, mamma, I don't believe < Solomon was so rich after all ?" observed a i sharp boy to his mother, who prided herself 1 on her orthodoxy. "My child," she cried in t pious horror, "what does the Bible say?" e "That's just it," he answered. "It says that Solomon slept with his fathers. Now { surely, if he had. been rich he'd have had a g bed to himself." g Jack of all Trades.?"What does your ] husband do ?" asked a traveler of a slattern- ? 1 ?Ukn fnnn/4 liviniy in a. lit.tlfl ly WUHiMi nuum uo ivuuu ?? t MVV.V old cabin in the backwoods. 1 "Well," was the reply, "he's one o' these 1 handy, gifted sort o' persons, my man is. j "He's a blacksmith by profession, but he f cooked in a rest'rant in town most o' last ( winter, and he done kyarpenterin' and paintin' all spring, and then he lectured on * temp-rance a while until he got a chance to * run an lngine for a month or two, and then t he dug wells and hung wall-paper until he * got a good chance to lay brick at $3.00. 1 "And what is he doing now ?" asked the amused guest. t "Teachin' singin' school, but he allows to f give it up pretty soon, and go to practisin' t medicine. He kin do anything he's a mind < to turn his hand to." 1 Changed the Subject.?One of the most difficult things to do gracefully is to j change the current of unpleasant conversation, but the small boy can do it if circum- < stances make it necessary. * < "Thomas, will you please tell me why you pulled up the onions from my Danvers onion bed ? How many times have I told you to 1 keep away from the garden ?" J ? j Thomas grew red in ine iace, uuu ma grandfather went on to depict the evil fate r that was sure to befall boys who went around 1 destroying what their elders had planted. Meantime, Thomas had pulled himself { together, and as the harangue was concluded f he said, with a smiie, referring to an event i of the previous week: 1 "Pity your old rooster died, wasn't it ( grandpa?" i An Over-Careful Old Legislator.? j Forty years or more ago I sat in the Indi- ( ana legislature next to an old fellow who t always voted "no" on every bill that was , presented. One day I said to him, "What's { the matter with you ? Can't you say'aye ?' j Why, you haven't voted for anything since you've been in this house." ^ "Well," said he, "if a good law passes all right. You never hear anything from that; ] but if they pass a bad law I want to be on ' the record right."?Cincinnati Times Star. W8- "You can't add different things to- * gether," said an Austin school-teacher. "If you add a sheep and a cow together, it does * not make two sheep, or two cows." A little i boy, the son of a milk-man, held up his hand ] and said, "That may do with sheep and * cows, but if you add a quart of water to a 1 quart of milk, it makes two quarts of milk. ' I've seen it tried." A negro prayed that his brethren \ might be preserved from their "upsettin' sins." "Brudder," said one of his friends, f "you ain't got de hang ob dat ar word.

But I was 8 pray in' de Lord to save us from de sin ob 1 'toxication ; an' ef dat ain't an upsettin' sin I dunno what ain ?" 1 . - . 1 f?" In a primary school, not very long ago, i the teacher undertook to convey to her pu- ] pils an idea of the use of the hyphen. She j wrote on the blackboard "Bird's-nest," and t pointing to the hyphen, asked the school: } "What is that for ?" After a short pause, a young son of the Emerald Isle piped out: j "Plaze, ma'am, for the bird to roosht on." t An old man, with a head as destitute | of hair as a watermelon, entered an Austin r avenue drug store and told the clerk he j wanted a bottle of hair restorer. "Which do you prefer?" "I reckon I'll take a bot- j tie of red hair restorer. That was the color ( of my hair when I was a boy." "What did you do the first time you Is got into battle ?" said a young lady to an 1 old soldier. "Of course you didn't run!" 1 . "Oh, no, I didn't run, miss; not at all. But 1 if I had been going for a doctor, and you * had seen me, you would have thought some- 1 body was awful sick." ' ? I J&" "No, Gubbins, you will never be a < brain worker." "Why not?"

NEVER RUN INTO DEBT. Among the many good things which Horace Greeley wrote for the New York Ledger is the following vivid article on the misery , of being in debt: To be hungry, ragged and penniless, is not ( pleasant; but this is nothing to the horror I of bankruptcy. All the wealth of Roths- 0 childs would be a poor recompense for a five g years' struggle, with consciousness that you r had taken the money or property of trusting friends?promising to return or pay for 8 it when required, and had betrayed their t confidence through insolvency. I I dwell on this point, for I would deter 1 others from entering that place of torment. ? Half the young men in the country, with r many old enough to know oetter, wouia -go . into business"?that is, into debt?tomorrow J,1 if they could. u For my own part?and I speak from sad experience?I would rather be a convict in a P State prison, a slave in a rice swamp, than ? pass through life under the harrow of a debt, t Let no young man misjudge himself unfor- v tunate, or truly poor, so long as he has full c use of his limbs and faculties and substan- c tially. free from debt. Hunger, cold, rags, hard work, contempt, suspicion, unjust reproach, are disagreeable; ^ but debt is infinitely worse than them all. i And, if it had pleased God to spare either or l all of my sons to be the support and solace 1 of my declining years, the lesson which I should have most earnestly sought to impress ^ upon them is: "Never run into debt! Avoid J pecuniary obligation as you would avoid pes- * tilence or famine. If you have but fifty cents, and can get no more for a week, buy a peck t of corn, parch it, and live on it, rather than ( owe any man a dollar !" Of course I know that some men must do a business that involves risks, and must give ' notes and other obligations; and I do not ( consider him really in debt who can lay his hands directly on the means of paying at some little sacrifice all he owes. I speak of , real debt?that which involves risk or sacrifice on the one side, obligation and dependon m thp nthpr?and I sav. from all such let every youth humbly pray God to preserve him evermore. Hard Work.?Does anybody really like hard work ? Many of us are ready enough to tax our minds or our muscles to the utmost for a certain object, but it was the object we love, not the labor. If we could obtain the end we covet without the exertion, which of us would toil and sweat as a matter of choice? Horace Greeley, who was one of the hardest workers of his day and generation, used to say that ninetenths of those who profess to be enamored of work are mere hypocrites. Adam himself was an indolent fellow. Had it been otherwise the cultivation of the soil would not have been imposed upon him as a penalty for his disobedience. He was quite taken aback when told that he must live by the sweat of his face. He would have preferred the life of leisure, and most of his descendants take after him in this particular. Nevertheless, we toil with an energy and perseverance that do honor to our?shall we say greed ? But mark our cunning. All the time we are inventing labor-saving machinery, manufacturing dumb slaves to do our bidding, while we look on and admire their energy. Be Sure That You. Need It.?If the poor house has any terror for you, never buy what you *don't need. Before you pay three cents for a jewsharp, see if you can't make just as pleasant a noise by whistling, for which nature furnishes the machinery. And before you pay seven dollars for a figured vest, young man, find out whether your lady-love would not be just as glad to see you in a plain one that cost just half the money. When you see a man paying five dollars for a Frenchified tov that a philo sophic Yankee baby will pull to pieces in I five minutes, the chances are that he will live long enough to realize how many cents there are in a dollar; and if he don't, he is sure to bequeath that privilege to his widow. When a man asks you to buy that for which you have no use, no matter how cheap it is, ion't say yes until you are sure some one jlse wants it in advance. Money burns such i hole in some people's pockets, that everything that is put in drops through past " finding. She Consented.?Will you be mine?" ] "Can you afford to dress me well if I J' marry you ?" I "It depends upon what you consider be- I ng dressed well. If you mean Worth dress- r ;s from Paris, I can't afford them; nor do you need them," said the wily New York j Press young man. t< "I don't!" p "No. Your beauty needs no adornment, md it will always eclipse any dress you j ivear, no matter how fine or how expensive i it may be. No one that looks at you sees o your dress. The beauty of face and perfection of figure only are noted. All finery sinks into insignificance beside them. What ? satin is there like your skin ? What silk like your hair ? What colors to compare with your lips, cheeks and eyes?" I "John, I am yours." 1 yituv ? Pit Pa t t a With Tmpttvttv.

Advice to a Young Man.?A success- r ful young business man of Atlanta tells this 8" story. He said that when he was a boy he s had occasion to borrow twenty dollars on a Ie rrnlfl wntrh nnd went to a hank to secure the : / .. , - ^ loan. He found there a venerable gentleman whom he had since come to know as the father of Mr. Darwin Jones. The old gen- ^ tleman spoke very kindly to the boy, told him the bank did not lend money on watches * and referred him to a pawnbroker. Then Mr. Jones said slowly and earnestly, "But if I were you I would not borrow the money." t "Why ?" was asked by the impetuous youngster. "Because"?and every word i weighed a pound?"because you will have to pay it back!" The wisdom of a lifetime . was in that sentence. Origin of Picnic.?The following is given as the origin of the word "picnic" : The first picnic known was in the year 1802? not one hundred years ago. In those days, when such an entertainment was proposed, it was the custom for those who intended to be present to draw up a list of the articles j that were needed to have a good time; then the list was passed around, and each person i picked out the name of the article he would furnish, which was then nicked ofT the list. From these two words picked and nicked these out-of-door parties were first known as r a pick and nick, then as a picnic." 5?" The winter hat which the ladies will f appear in soon is a curiosity.

GRIST, Yorkville, S. C. DO YOU WANT A WATCH? 0 'You area Subscriber to THE ENQUIRER, We OfTer You a Bargain that You Cannot Duplicate In America?Plain, Straightforward Business. No Quibbling. T7"E congratulate our readers and ourselves 11 on an arrangement we have just cometed with one of the most reliable wholesale welry establishments in the United States by hieh we are enabled to furnish subscribers to he Enquirkr with reliable Watches, manuctured by the leading American companies, at ices never before heard of in this section, ow, before going any further, we desire to im- rj ess upon the subscribers of The Enquirer -1 le fact that these watches are not "bankrupt" >ods, are not sold to close out or anything of lat style, but as we remarked above they are rictly first class and just as represented. We ish it distinctly understood that these watches H e not offered as premiums, nor will they be J ild to any one who is not a yearly subscriber The Enquirer. This is purely and simply a plan on our part > give a good thing to our subscribers if they - ant it, and at a reasonable price. 1 The American standard watches, the best time sepers in the world, are graded as seven, eleven, lirteen and fifteen jeweled, full jeweled and ljusted. Very few men?not one in fivehunred?carry either an adjusted or even a full jewed watch. There is no reason why any subiriber to The Enquirer should not nave a atch carefully adjusted to heat, cold and posian, nor why any subscriber should not have a ustworthy time-keeper. , The Enquirer proposes to make "leaders" ' the five styles described below. 1715^ '' c< No. 693.?Is a nickel silver bassine open face p ise, which will wear equal to coin silver, fitted ith a 7 jewel American full nickle plate move- w ent. This Watch is the equal for wear and time h " a watch many times its cost. The regular retail Sj rice of the watch is 88.50, but we propose to ei rnish it to our subscribers for 85.35. If a re- it ible time-keeper is all you want this watch will 0> eet your requirements. tl No. 695.?Is an 18 Size, open face 10 karat gold y, led Montauk case, guaranteed to wear for 15 s< are and it will wear a great deal longer. It is u ted with the same movement as No. 693. The cm gular retail price of this watch is 819.00. We it opose to furnish it to our subscribers for 812.25. v II H c No. 802.?This a No. 18 size with open face. j\ , has a silver filled caso with screw back and c' xew bezel, which makes them dust proof, hese cases are made by Joseph Fahys and are i durable in every particular as a solid silver ise. the outside or exposed parts being made of >lin nilt'or TVi,o oooo lo OttoH with ft 1c wel gilt Elgin or Walt ham movement, as the g] irchaser may prefer. The regular retail price p ' the watch is $22.00. Our price is 814.75. This o atch is the equal as a timekeeper of any watch l the market, and is intended especially for lose who have heavy work to do. You can't lake a mistake in buying this watch. si Ci #o 8! F No. 658.?This is a lady's watch. It is a No. a size, 13 jewel nickel Elgin movement, fitted to F genuine "Boss 14 Karat" gold filled case guar iteed to wear 20 years, and will wear much wger. If a Waltham movement is preferred to le Elgin, wo can furnish a 1 size Waltham t jewel nickel movement fitted to a "Crescent" [ karat gold filled case, guaranteed to wear 20 ears. The "Crescent" case is equal in every articular to the "Boss," and the reason for furishing the "Crescent" case with the Waltham lovcment is that it won't fit the "Boss" case, he regular retail price of either of these watches ^40.00. Our price is $24.50. These watches are, ideed, beauties, and any lady may be proud to irry either of them. The cases are what is died a "double" or hunting. I No. 524.?Is a No. 18 size, Boss hunting, 14 c a rat gold tilled case guaranteed for 20 years. 1 he case is handsomely engraved?it is a beauty, v his case is fitted with a 15 jewel nickel Wal- 1 nun or gilt lilgin adjusted movement, with pat- 1 nt regulator. This watch is undoubtedly one of est made in the United States, and the man who uys one will have a watch which he can leave J > his son when he no longer needs a watch, e he regular retail price of the watch is $50.00. a ur price is $20.75. 1: i.v....i.i-nf tlin.vio not familiar with t r?U II1U llliwtniuviw.. w? old filled cases, we will say that a 14 karat filled t isc of either the lloss, Kahys or Crescent patent, <i i equal in appearance and wearing qualities to \ 14 karat solid gold case. There are probably t ve gold filled cases sold to one solid gold case, t hich proves very conclusively that a large lajority of those persons who buy watches do ot care to pay a big price for the doubtful <] itisfaction of owning a solid gold ease. ? All the above described watches are stem ? rinders and stem setters, and are in every way J, ist as represented. Their appearance, in beauty j f design and finish, is far better than we can , escribe. Kctnember, too, that they are sold to ., on at these low figures because you are a suberibcr to Tin; ENqrutKit; and unless your t nine is on our books, or a year's subscription onies with your order, in addition to the price s f the watch, we cannot and will not sell you a rat eh. < Another point. These offers must be accepted xactlyas we make them. Asourprofitsare very mall, almost nothing compared to profits made 1 iy dealers, we cannot be bothered with correspondence further than the filling of orders. He- . ;ct the style of watch you desire, send us the * loney by bank draft, money order or registered 3tter,*anil the watch will be promptly sent you. ' In ordering the watches ortler by the numbers iven in Thk ExquntKit. Then we will know ? a certainty just what particular watch you csire. All watches are sent, as a rule, by registered tail, and in any event we prepay all charges. We do not keep any watches on hand, but ev- < ry watch is sent direct from the wholesale dealrs to the purchaser. It will take, therefore, rout one to two weeks from the time you write t s before your watch can reach you. Each watch is thoroughly tested before being cut out, and will reach yoit in good condition. Address all orders to LEWIS M. CRIST. Yorkvillc, S. (_'.
