SHARON SHAVINGS.
Farm Work?Preaching at Sharon?School
Closed?Mr. Chambers Recovered the
Money.
Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Sharon, February 29.?The fair weather
was again broken up Saturday morning by
cold north-east winds bringing clouds and
rain, which continues up to the present
writing. This will stop the plows for a time,
but that need not interfere with those who
want to work. They can find plenty to do
if they will only look for it.
The fanners have a great deal of hard
work already done, and I think that if they
will oontinue through the whole year with
the same energy that they have exercised so
far, times and money matters will be much
easier than they have been for the past six
months.
Rev. Dr. R. A. Ross preached a fine sermon
at Sharon yesterday, though on acoount
of the inclement weather, his congregation
was rather small. I think when a
man as old as Dr. Ross is willing to brave
the weather and come out to church, the
congregation might turn out better to hear
him. It is poor encouragement for a minister
to preach to empty pews.
The school at this place was closed on
last Tuesday. I don't know for what reason,
unless it is on account of the scarcity of
money. I am sure it is not because we do

of children who ought to be there every day.
The lodge of I. 0. G. T. at Sharon church
seems to be flourishing. Six new members
were initiated last Friday night and several
visitors from YorkviHe participated on the
occasion.
Mr. R. B. Riddle, of Zeno, aud Mr. J. H.
Riddle, of YorkviHe, spent Friday with Mr.
X B. Ross partridge shooting. I understand
that they had a big time and were quite
successful in killing a large number of birds.
Our harness maker has been all smiles for
the last day Or two. He says its a girl this
time.
Mr. Fuller's horse ran off with a wagon
on Saturday and created quite an excitement
for a little while. Sofara3 I have heard, no
damage was done.
While making change in Saye & Rainey's
drug store recently, Mr. J. C. Chambers
' dropped $7 on the floor and went out without
discovering his loss. Jess Hardin, a negro,
picked up the money, and later showed
it to another negro, named Sam Jimmerson.
Sam claimed the money as his. Hardin
turned it over without question, but later,
hearing of Mr. Chambers's loss, spoke about
the matter. Mr. Chambers took out a warrant
and secured the money, as well as the
cost of the action; but of course Jimmerson
still claims that the money was his. a. e.
LETTER FROM UNION COUNTY.
For Disturbing a Religious Meeting?Bound
Oyer to Court?A Hen Votes for Cleveland?The
Tax Muddle.
Correspondence of the YorkviHe Enquirer.
Etta Jane, February 29.?The preliminary
hearing of the case against John W.
Mitchell for "disturbing a religious meeting,"
came off before John P. Gage, Esq., trial
justice, at Union, last Friday. The allegation
and proof substantially set forth that
the defendant went to Salem church on the
third Sabbath of last October with the expressed
purpose of abusing the prosecutor,
James L. Strain, who was superintendent of
the school; that he went there in company
with the prosecutor, but said nothing of his
pjirpose to him until he got upon the church
grounds; that the services of the Sabbathsohool
were detained several minutes in consequence
of the boisterous conduct of the
aeienaani in me cnurcu-yaru, m mc pi mence
of ladies ancbcbildren. But the defendant
did afterwards go in and recite a lesson,
(a thing he had never done before nor since,
in the recollection of the prosecutor). The
court ruled that as the disturbance bad not
taken place while the Sunday-school was
actually engaged ih worship, or assembled in
the house for the purpose, there was no disturbance
of a "religious .meeting," in the
meaning of the statute, and the case was
discharged.
The row, mentioned a few weeks ago in
this correspondence as taking place between
here and Smith's ford, came up for a preliminary
hearing before T. J. Orr, trial justice,
last Thursday. Several of the parties were
bound over to court as witnesses and defendants.
We have a hen egg, picked up from the
dung hill one day last week, which has a
raised letter "C" on the end of it. Of all
the wise men and women who have seen it,
none can tell whether it is a threat or a
promise Mrs. Hen has made. Perhaps she's
gone into national politics and declared herself
for "Cleveland."
Mr. A. A. Lee narrowly escaped serious
injury by being thrown from a wagon loaded
with cotton one day last week. The fall
didn't hurt him so bad as the "lighting"
did.
Mr. Calvin Millwood and Miss Cordelia
Bratton were married yesterday by J. L.
Strain, notary public.
This correspondent had the pleasure of
dining with Mr. and Mrs. Sheriff Long, at
Union, last Friday, but he wants it distinctly
understood that his meal was served downstairs.
Mrs. Long was a Miss Gwinn?a
native nf Vnrlr ontintv. and raised on "Susv*
~ v j v
1k>1o" creek, near the Chester line. Her
friends :ui 1 acquaintances may accept this
assurance of 1 ho fact that she is one among
the most estimable ladies of the town of
Union.
The abnormal state of our county politics
is such as to puzzle the braiu of our most
astute politicians. We have neither treasurer
nor auditor, and cau't tell where or
when we will get them. The new appointees
failed to act. Should any of our affairs be
brought to the attention of the supreme
court, that august body might get some
valuable information by applying to our fireside
lawyers. Its a very bad something that
has no good at all in it. While we have no
treasurer, we will pay no taxes. Sigma.
MeCONNELLSVILLE MATTERS.
Farm Work?Death of "Little Phil" Lindsay?Dismissal
of Rev* G. 8* Robinson to
West Virginia.
Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
McConnellsville, February 29.?We
have been having some exceedingly mild
weather and the farmers have been working
dilligently on their farms. They have their
work in fine shape.
Mr. P. W. Lindsay, Jr., died at his home
near here on Friday morning at 2 o'clock
from cancer. He was buried in the cemetery
at this place on Saturday lost with Alliance
honors. Funeral services were conducted
at Olivet church by Rev. B. P. Reid. A
large concourse of friends followed him to
his last resting place.
A called meeting of Presbytery will be
held at Olivet church on Tuesday, March
1st, for the purpose of dismissing Rev. G. S.
Robinson from Bethel presbytery to Lexington
presbytery, West Virginia.
School Commissioner Cansler paid the
school at this place a visit on Friday last.
He congratulated the school upon having
such an efficient corps of teachers.
Mr. E. A. Crawford, of Chester, and his
little son Patterson, paid his mother a visit a
iew nays ago. rHAuui^.
CHESTER CHAPTER.
The Work ou the Factory?Some Personal
Notes.
Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Chester, March 1.?The work of rebuilding
the factory is progressing rapidly. A
good deal of time was required in removing
the debris, but the walls are already begin
ning to rise, and the looms will probably begin
work by August or September. The engine
and boilers of the old mill are only
slightly damaged, and will be repaired and
used in the new mill. All things considered,
the stockholders here come out a great deal
better than was at first supposed.
The Misses Sanders, daughters of Mr. and
Mrs. T. M. Sanders, gave a most delightful
tea on last Friday evening complimentary to
their guest, Miss Mason, of Frankfort, Ky.
Mrs. Dr. Lucius Gaston, of Alabama, is visiting
her mother, Mrs. I. H. Bell.
Miss Janie Bell, who has been spending
the winter with Mrs. Gaston, has returned.
Mrs. Dr. S. M. Devaga has returned from
a visit to her parents at Ellenton, S. C.
Mrs. F. B. Stringfellow, after spending
several months in New York, studyiug art,
has returned home.
Rev. S. Leard and Mr. John Walker, two
of our oldest and best citizens, have been
quite sick for some time.
A wholesale hog stealing took place about
eight miles below this place last week. Anderson
Beckham, a well-to-do negro, lost
sixteen, and H. Hemphill, M. D., lost two. If
this is not "hogish" what should it be called ?
THE FIRST IN TWENTY YEARS.
A Correspondent Thinks Flint Hill Should
be Heard From.
Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Flint Hill, February 18.?I have been
a subscriber to The Enquirer twenty years
and have never seen a letter from Flint Hill.
Perhaps you don't know there is such a place.
I will locate it. It is five miles north of Fort
Mill, twelve miles south of Charlotte, and
two and a half miles west of Pineville. We
have a handsome church in which we have
Sunday school and preaching every Sunday,
a large cemetery, an academy, two blacksmith
shops, two stores, four cotton gins and
one saw mill.
On the second Sunday in this month, we
had very interesting religious services. Rev.
F. O. S. Curtis preached a memorial sermon
in honor of Rev. C. H. Spurgeon and Rev.
Basil Manly, D. D. After Sunday-school,
the services were commenced by singing that
good old hymn, "How firm a foundation
then a very impressive prayer by Rev. Curtis
; then the hymn, "Shall we gather at the
river ?" The subject of Mr. Curtis's sermon

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Varied Views of the "Thirteen" Call for a
March Convention.
From The Palmetto Post.
We are very doubtful of the policy of promulgating
these manifestos. We have seen
the revolution that was produced by the
Shell manifesto, and another manifesto is
apt to produce only a counter-factional spirit
that is attempted to be cured by the very
means that was held objectionable within
our party lines in the last campaign.
From the Abbeville Medium.
The call, of course, is outside of the reguular
Democratic methods, but there is no objection
to as many combines as the opponents
of the present Democratic administration
may see proper to form, so long as they
will stand by and support the Democratic
nominations when they are made. It will
be observed that none of the men who have
signed this fulmination have ever supported
the Farmers' Movement, and some of them
took the stump against it during the last
campaign. Others took part in the conference
held in Columbia against it during the
last campaign. In the combine there are
seven lawyers, two doctors, one farmer, one
editor and the rest may be put down as un!
classified. They promise nothing?absolutely
nothing.
From the Laurensville Herald.
It will be remembered what a frantic howl ,
was raised by the nnti-reform scribes of the
State press against the Shell manifesto and !
the March convention of 1890. Look on !
that picture and then on this. Some of the ;
very same men who loudly inveighed against .
the proposed March convention two years 1
ago, are signers of the call for a convention
nexth month. This is a strange sort of consistency,
but its anti-ism all the same. I
From the Abbeville Press Ifnd Banner. I
This country needs a wise and conserva- '
tive government?one that will respect the
rights of all classes. If the March convention
can nominate, and the people will elect,
a man to the governorship who will restore
our credit and give peace to our excited and
nervous citizenship, they will have done indeed
a noble work for South Carolina.
From the Prosperity Press and Reporter. 1
The ex-office-holders, who would doubtless
be glad to get back, recite as their reason for
issuing the call that the present administration
is a failure. * * * They pledge them- '
selves to abide the decision of the Democratic
party, but left off a very important
pledge that should not have been omitted,
viz., that they would have their registration <
certificates with them on election day when .
they went to vote.
From the Edgefield Monitor.
Let the convention meet, deliberate and
seek out the men for the occasion, ignoring, 1
if such should appear, the man who comes 1
with a' platform in his pocket and significant \
suggestions about a man to stand on it. Seek i
the men who are not "seeking the places? <
honest men, capable men, men who would (
be acceptable to all classes, men who are j
above petty scheming and demagogical hum- i
buggery. The State is full of such men. '
From the Newberry Observer.
We shall look forward with interest to the ^
convention. Should it suggest for governor (
a better man than Tillman, The Observer i
will be for that man; but it cannot go to the 1
length of anybody to beat Tillman. Gov- 1
ernor Tillman's administration, asa "reform"
administration, has been worse than a failure. ,
It has injured the credit of the State abroad
and has stirred up and fomented discord at .
home. But it might be worse. So we shall <
wait and see who the opposition will put up. '
From the Aiken Recorder.
The condition has become a very serious
j one and is becoming more serious daily, owing
to the incompetency and abuse of power
on the part of the present administration. <
The State is becoming heavily entangled in (
expensive lawsuits; her income has been se- ,
riously reduced, and her financial credit
I lowered below par; all in consequence of
the misconduct of a set of politicians who j
were ready to sacrifice everything so long as i
they secured offices. It is to relieve this j
conditioa and literally to save the State that j
the common sense of our people is now ap- I
pealed to, and those who earnestly desire
the welfare of the commonwealth and desire
to get rid of the present set of office-holders?who
have proved themselves incompe- !
tent?are asked to come together and take 1
organized action to remedy t he presnt evils, j

? Colonel John T. Rhett, ex-mayor of Columbia,
died in that city, of paralysis, at 1.30
o'clock, last Sunday afternoon.
? Samuel Wright, a little negro of Orangeburg,
accidently shot and killed his sister I
Mary, while playing with a loaded pistol,
last Monday. <
? Governor Tillman has appointed Mr. j

county, vice T. H. Gore, the former appoint- i
ee, who was unable to qualify.
? The town of Darlington was visited by a
terrible fire on last Saturday night, and
about fifty dwellings and storehouses were
destroyed. The total loss was probably over
$150,000, and the insurance was in the neigh- (
borhood of $120,000.
I ? The Charleston correspondent of the Co- i
[ lumbia State, says that it is currently reported
that uenerai fcawara iHCi^rauy, wnoss uume 1
appears first 011 the "Thirteen" call, will be
a candidate for governor against Tillman,
but within the party lines.
? Professor Wm. Strong Lowry, an exmember
of the faculty of Erskine college,
died suddenly at his home in Due West, at
about 12 o'clock, last Sunday night. He .
was about seventy years of age, and leaves a ,
widow and one son. The latter is a prominent
Baptist minister.
? Union correspondence: John D. Jefleries
and Miss Etta Littlejohn, of Jonesville, this
county, were married at the home of the
bride's father last Thursday, the Rev. W. E.
G. Humphries officiating. Both parties are
very popular. The families of both are very
wealthy, but in accordance with a wish of
the bride's father, she was married in a plain
calico dress.
? Columbia Register: Rev. Dr. W. M.
i Grier, the president of Erskine college, has
consented to deliver the annual address at
| the South Carolina College for Women, in
i this city, on the evening of June 14. Dr.
j Grier is an eloquent and learned man. and
I Dr. Atkinson, the president of the college,
! is exceedingly fortunate in having secured
i so noted a speaker.
? J. W. Alexander, through his attorneys, |
Messrs. Lyles & Muller, has commenced a
suit in the United States court, against
Governor Tillmau for $10,000 damages, for
refusing him possession of Agricultural hall,
J Columbia, after the tender of the Blue

: accountant appointed to investigate the

j Scott, of Union county, has made his report

tor and the treasurer remain suspended.!
The treasurer's shortage, it seems, extends
over a period of several years, dating from
1880 to 1890, and includes in the aggregate
the sum of $1,275.64. Both the treasurer and
auditor, according to Captain Williams's re
port, are guilty of carelessness, if nothing
worse.
? Union correspondence of the Greenville
News: The Hon. John R. Jefleries, State
lecturer of the Alliance, was ir. Union a few
days ago. To a question as to whether
he intended to be a candidate for the Hon.
J. J. Hemphill's seat in congress, he replied
that that depended upon his friends in the
Fifth congressional district. If they wished
him to make the race he would do so, and
he had no fears as to the result, if a fair and
open race was given him. One fact worth
mentioning is that Mr. Jefferies has been
spending most of his time in the Fifth congressional
district since he was elected lecturer.
? Colonel James Edwards, a well-known
citizen of Spartanburg, commited suicide
last Wednesday by shooting himself in the
head with a pistol. Colonel Edwards was
about 70 years of age, and having been sick
with the grip for several months, was quite
low spirited. The most prominent cause,
however, that led to his rash act, was heavy
financial losses. He was a large stockholder
in the First National bank of Raleigh, and
when that institution failed last November,
it became necessary to sell all of his property,
including a very valuable plantation,
to make good his share of the banks obligations
to depositors. These reverses unsettled
his mind.
? Peter Geathers, a colored ex-postmaster
nf Ornnnrehunr. has erotten himself into
O~ r-i;
trouble with the United States for using the
mails for illegal purposes. For a long time
the negroes of the surrounding eountry here
had all confidence in Peter, aud when they
sold their cotton would come to him to have
him transact their business. A portion of
this business was the sending of small packages
of money through the mails, as Peter
could write and his clients could not. After
awhile there came complaints that the money
had never reached its destination, and
the parties who sent it complained to the
postmaster. The postmaster began to investigate
the matter on the quiet, and he found
that it wa3 Peter's custom to address the
money packages to himself instead of the
party for whom they were intended, and
then give them to the negroes to put in the
post office. That the packages were mailed
the victims were certain, but why they
never reached their destinations was a mystery
until the trick was exposed and Peter
arrested.

Taxes are of various kinds. Everybody knows
rt-hat the county taxes are, and how hard they
ire on the people. Other taxes are hard, too, especially
wuen a man, woman or child taxes beyond
endurance their digestive powers. This
iort of tax is hard on the people, too, because it
muses dyspepsia, colic, or some other trouble,
nut is very different from the other kind, bemuse
there'is certain and speedy relief in "Campbell's

The Testimony of Four Witnesses.
Below will be found the testimony of four reliable
witnesses, which we think entirely sustain
pur claim that the various styles of Sewing Machines
sold by us are equal in every particular to
iny machine on the market:
Fort Mill, S. C., December 8th, 1890.
L. M. Grist, Editor of Yorkville Enquirer
: Dear Sir?I received my Sewing Machine
indue time, and find it to be everything that you
?laimed it to be. I would not bo without it for
iouble its cost; and can say to those in need of
i good Sewing Machine that they need not hesitate
to purchase your Premium Machine.
Mrs. J. R. Jenkins.
Tucker, Texas, February 20,1891.
Capt. L. M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dear
>ir?I received the Sewing Machine in a few
weeks after ordering it, and my wife is well
pleased with it. It does as good work as Machines
sold here for from $35.00 to $60.00. I advise
every one who wants a good machine at an
honest price to buy this Machine.
C. Mason Smith.
Tirzah, S. C., September 28,1891.
L. M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C.?It affords me
sreat pleasure in testifying to the value of your
Premium Sewing Machine, the Chicago Singer,
which I bought from you last February. It
same promptly, was in perfect order, and complete
in every' respect. For neatness of workmanship
and finish, as well as easy motion and
perfect sewing, I have never seeni its superior, and
the cost?only about one-half of other machines
sold through the country by agents. I would
not today take "Forty acres and a mule" for it, if
I thought I could not get another exactly like it.
Respectfully, J. R. Comer.
The Testimony of a Veteran.
Mr. Robert S. Hope, of Lowrysville, Chester
county, S. C., is well known, either personally or
by reputation, to scores of readers of The Enquirer,
and to them needs no introduction at
my hands. To those who have not the pleasure
of his acquaintance, I will say that ho is one of
Chester county's most successful farmers and
valuable citizens. He has probably owned and
used a Corbin Harrow longer than any other
farmer in upper South Carolina, and for this
reason his opinion of and experience with the
machine is possessed of peculiar value. I recently
requested Mr. Hope to give his opinion of
the implement for publication, and he has done
so. Here it is:
Ijowrysville, S. ('., February 11,1892.
Mr. Sam M. (Ikist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dear Sir?You
request me to give my opinion of the worth of tlie
t'orbln Disk Harrow as a farm implement, after a
long experience in using one on my farm. In reply, I
would say that I place a very high estimate on the
Harrow. It does Its work so thoroughly, and so rapidly,
that I think it justly entitled to be classed as one
of the greatest labor saving implements used in farm
husbandry.
I use my t'orbln Disk Harrow to put in my small
grain crop very successfully. The Harrow pulverizes
the soil so thoroughly (leaving no clods behind it)
that 1 invariably secure a good stand of small grain,
and leaves the land smooth and in a condition to
harvest the crop with machinery, without further
labor or trouble.
The Harrow is a grand implement to use with a
pair of mules, but it is a far more efficient one with
four mules attached. Iliad used in V Corbin Harrow
but n short time with n pair of mules until I was thoroughly
satisfied that I was not utilizing its full capacity,
or in other words that it was capable of doing a
great deal more work in a day if 1 would weight it
down, add horse power and give it speed. Since then
I have used four good, strong mules,to my Corbin
Harrow, and have more than realized my expectations.
The draught was so much lighter for the four
mules, notwithstanding the increased weight, that
they could travel at greater speed and the harrow
accomplish greater results. The area of land I can
harrow in a day with four mules dc|H>nds on its character.
On my level, sandy lands, when I call secure
long, straight furrows, I can, with an cx|>erlenced
driver, harrow an acre of land every hour, or usually
ten acres a day.
I find my Corbin Harrow very useful in breaking
stubble land thoroughly and speedily.
It is Invaluable to pulverize cloddy bottom lands.
The disks cut the clods and pulverize and smooths the
land more effectually than any implement 1 have
ever used for that purpose.
In a dry fall I consider the Corbin Hisk Harrow indlspensibie
in putting in my crop of winter outsat the
pro)>cr time. |I think the hist of August or the first
week in September the proper time to suw|. If It is
dry weather and the land hard, I can, by weighting
down my harrow, and going over the land two or
three times, secure a well pulverized seed bed for my
oats?when I could not possibly plough up clods
enough to cover the seed?and when the rains come,
the oats spring up, grow and take good root before
the cold weather, and are prepared to withstand the
winterfreez.es when later sown oats, not so well moled,
are often spewed up by the frost, the stand badly
injured, and the winter crop of oats a failure.
Yours Truly, K. S. Hol'K.
I always keep Corbin Harrows in stock, and
am prepared to deliver them to purchasers without
delay. Sam M. Ukist, Sole Agent.

forget us when you want school books.
TRUMP SOAP.
It has been said by some one that "economy is
wealth," and by somebody else, "a dollar saved
is a dollar earned," and by still another, "tako
care of the dimes and the dollars will take care
of themselves." Now, the reader may naturally
inquire what all these adages have to do with
Trump Soup. We will explain: It is the largest
tive-eents-a-cako Soap (six-for-a-quarter) we
have ever handled or known to be handled in
this section, and is pronounced by all who have
tested it to bo superior to any other for the
laundry, the kitchen and for dirt and grease moving.
So you can readily see that it will be economy
to l"?uy it, that you will save dollars in the
course of a year, and that you will be taking earo
of the dimes. A trial of one cake will convince
you.
Ferry and Landreth's (Jardcn Seeds are the
best. We have a supply of all varieties.

KIDDLE & CARROLL.
OF ALL SEASONS
IN llu' year tho present is tho one at which the
patient and long-sutl'ering housekeeper is
most perplexed by that momentous question of
"What shall I have for breakfast, dinner or supper?"
We think we can "throw out" some hints
that will, in a measure, solve the problem. For
breakfast we woidd suggest biscuits made of 100
Per Cent. Flour, short nod with pure leaf lard,
and made with Royal Raking Powder; nicely
fried .Magnolia Ham and plenty of gravy; a dish
of rice or Pearl Orits or Meeker's Oatmeal:
a plate of freshly laid eggs, either soil boiled
or fried ; a pitcher ol choice new crop New < cleans
molasses [we have some that would make
the average honey bee turn green with envy];
some nice waffles or batter cakes made of buckI
wheat or corn meal and loo Per Cent. Flour (half
i and half); a cake of fresh home made butter, (we
don't usually keep butter because we can't always
get the kind recommended); and a pot of
good, strong thoroughly sett led coifeemadc from
the celebrated Ariea Roasted Colfee or our livepounds
for 81.00 Rio and sweetened with our 20
pounds for a $1.00 Standard < Inundated Sugar.
Now will the above bill of fare do for breakfast?
If it will, you can usually find everything mentioned
at our store except those things which
we stated we did not keep.
NOW FOR DINNER.
If you sowed turnips last fall you now probably
have a line lot of what plain folks used to
call "greens," but what some folks now call
"salad." Anyway, cook a liberal supply of these,
(they are said to lie very healthy) and be sure to
season them with a good sized piece of bacon;
bake a cake of corn bread out of home raised corn
meal, and make it like your mother used to;
boiled Magnolia Ham; canned tomatoes; salmon
salad ; biscuit similar to those recommended
for breakfast. Our space is, we think, about
full and we will have to ask the reader to call at
our place of business and get an oral statement
as to tho remainder of the dinner, and also to
hear our suggestions as to the evening meal.

CATTLE POWDERS is the name of this 1
great preparation, and it is the finest formula <
for keeping all kinds of live stock in a healthy

assimilates with the food as to bring about a
saving of thirty-three per cent, of the corn or

know what the saving is until you try it, and if .
you get three packages and tney don't save a <
$10 bill and improve the condition of the stock, |
then veterinary is a failure, and we say quit.
Yes, these powders will save 33 per cent, of the i
feed you give your stock, and to take corn at 75 I
cents a bushel will more than pay for the pow- 1
dere with the first bushel saved.
Save and Live Close, ,

Make every cent cut its way to the core, think
how to make money and save it. Be cautious
and buy only that which will better y our condition,
or that which is yours. Buy three packages
of CATTLE POWDERS FOR FIFTY
CENTS, WHICH IS THE RIGHT WAY TO '
SAVE THE PURE SIMON PURE CASH, i
Try it for Cows, Horses, Mules, Sheep, Goats, i

value. Farmers in the North and Northwest
use it extensively. You see what fine stock
they have. We can do what they do, if the

of dollars worth of property are destroyed in the
Coiled States every year. A large per cent,
of this loss falls on the Insurance companies
who have written policies on it, and there are
many millions worth of property destroyed that
the loss does not fall on the Insurance companies
because the ownersofsaid property imagined
that they were too careful about lire or too well
protected against it, to be burned out. They
learned their error too late, and in many instances
the learning of the lesson resulted in
their complete ruin from a financial standpoint.
Have you ever investigated the matter to see

Erect monuments over your loved ones who
have gone before;
IT IS A DUTY
That the living may easily perform for the dead,
besides it teaches a moral lesson that makes us

sentiment to do better and nobler things. It
makes our surroundings more pleasant on this
jarth, which, at most, is "only a few days."

THE EVANS HARROWS
ARE the best tooth Harrows on the market.
They are made of the very best material
and will last a lifetime. You should examine the
STEEL FRAME LEVER HARROW, and
also the WESTERN TRIPPLE. Either Harrow
will do perfect work as a pulverizer or
smoother, and either will be found to be of great
value in cultivating voting corn or cotton. The
EVANS CORN AN1 > COTTON PLANTER is
the most popular nlantcron the market, wherever
introduced. I'he Planter can be used for
planting corn, and changed in an instant for
iilantinir cotton. It opens the furrow, drops the
seed and rovers, all at one operation. The shovels
are held in position by a break pin, and it'
roots or other obstruetions are met with, the
shovels "give," and no damage is sustained by
the machine. The corn feed has a springcut-olf,
which insuresaecuracy in dropping. The cotton
feed has a metal cut-olf, consisting of two round
rollers which cleans the seed from the teeth and
prevents any danger of clogging or cracking the
seed. Both* the Harrows and the planter are
guaranteed to give satisfaction. Send for illustrated
circular and prices. Apply to K. S. Me!
