If it never has, suppose you tie it up a little while and see how helpless your fingers will be alone. We often say when anybody is particularly clumsy, that bis fingers are all thumbs. This is simply slander on the hardest worked and most useful of five fingers.

At this season of the year, a lemon is worth untold gold as a health preserver.

In the morning, before breakfast, repeat the dose. Walhalla Courier: "The Baptist Church at Pendleton has inaugurated a praise? worthy movement for the erection of a monument to tho late Thomas Dawson, who was so widely known and greatly honored among the Baptists of South Carolina. It is not proposed to erect a costly monument, and contributors will feel at liberty to give such sums as they may feel able." The friends of Col. M. P. Tribble, whose serious accident we chronicled last week, are glad to learn that his condition on j Wednesday morning was tlightly im I proved, though he has not recovered suf? ficiently to be removed to bis home.

Towers sent us this week a basket of yam potatoes of last year's growth which wereiperfectly kept. Mr. Towers has potatoes all the year round, and his method of preserv? ing them is worth knowing and follow? ing. He gathers them up one day and j banks them the next, covering them with straw and boards to keep the dirt off, and then covers with about two feet of earth, i leaving no air holes. Those banks whioh he wishes to keep he will not open until after Christmas. He has tried this plan for several years, and bas never failed. It is worth knowing and practicing.

A full attendance of the members is desired, as there is important business to transact. The County Democratic Executive Com? mittee met on Tuesday in tho office of Messrs.

Heretofore the applicants from Anderson County have been very suc? cessful in securing tbe scholarships, and we hope some of our young people will compete for them this time* A Visit to Honea Path. Mr. Editor: Being desirous of attend? ing tbe Commencement Exercises of the Honea Path High School, Mr. W. H. Frierson and myself left the city of An? derson about 1H o'clock on Thursday morning, the 10th of July, and at 5} o'clock we reached the beautiful little town. We accepted tbe kind invitation of Mr. Geo. M. Greer, and were bis guests during our stay in Honea Path. This being the evening for the Commencement every eye was watching the heavens, as there was a strong indication of rain. So just at SJ o'clock tbe heavens opened, the rain descended, and tbe winds blew. Many were disappointed, thinking it would last for some time, but about 9 o'clock the rain ceased and tbe clouds passed away, the moon in all her bright? ness and glory shone out, and many hearts were gladdened. Mr. Frierson and myself then wended our way to the Academy, and upon reaching there we found the ball crowded. The exercises, which consisted of recitations and decla? mations, bad begun. Tbo young gentle? men declaimed remarkably well, and the young ladies of course performed their parts in tbe best manner possible. Prof. Grier had engaged the Due West string band to furnish music for the occasion, and during tbe intermission of the differ? ent divisions it discoursed very sweet musio. The exercises lasted until about 111 o'clock. The crowd thou dispersed, all complimenting Prof. Grier upon tbe manner in which be conducted the exer? cises, <fec. Every one seemed very much pleased. Prof- Grier has as an assistant Miss Nannie Harkness, who is a very accom? plished young lady, and the Professor has been fortunate in securing tbe services of such an assistant. On Friday night the young gentlemen of the place gave a dance in the Academy. Upon receiving an invitation to partici? pate we concluded to stay over until Sat? urday. At 8J o'clock I found mytseir again in tho Academy ball, and spent a most agreeable evening. Saturday afternoon we turned our faces homeward. Ob! how we did hate to leave Honea Path. May her good people live long, and may their days be full of hap? piness. We hope at some day in tbe near future to grasp their hands again. H. W.

Mar ray's School. On last Friday evening the patrons, to? gether with quite a number of invited guests, of Mrs. C. R. Murray's school as? sembled at her residence to witness the closing exercises of her school. A large platform had been erected in the back yard, facing the piazza. The audience was seated in the piazza and in front and on each side of the platform. Fragrant flowers and verdant evergreens bad been tastefully arranged by the dexterous bands of tbe fair ones, and, amid tbe glare of tbe illuminations, commingled with the lovely countenances, white dresses, etc., of the fair sex, presented a scene that was beautiful to behold. At the appointed hour for the begin? ning of the exercises, tbe school was formed into a procession and marched out into the yard, taking their seats upon the platform. A beautiful hymn, enti? tled "Wonderful Words," was then sung by the whole school, accompanied on tbe piano by Miss Jeffle Edwards. He v. D. E. Frierson, D. D., then led in prayer, after which the following programme was rendered: Salutatory?Miss Minnie Clinkscales. Dialogue. "Tbe Wish"?Misses Mamie Benson, Alice Clinkscales, Claudia Pre voat and Felicia Murray. Recitation, "Love Your Enemies"? Master Johnnie Cochran. Song, "Be Kind to Each Other." Composition, "Indolence"?Miss Helen Cater. Recitation, "Looking Out for Number One"?Mici Eilleen Mauldin and Master Scott Murray. Recitation, "The Gray Swan"?Miss Mamie Brown. Song, "Danube River."

Recitation, "Giant and Dwarf"?Miss Elise Mauldin and Master Eugene Faut. Song, "Minnie Mine." Composition, "Home"?Miss Mary Nor? rie. At this juncture of tbe programme, tbe platform was cleared of tbe seats, and the school went through that beautiful and healthful exercise, Calisthenics, keeping time with the piano. The manner in which the pupils executed tbe various ; movements gave evidence of a thorough training. Indeed, it was remarkable how tbe pupils, especiaUy the little ones, kept such good time. These exercises were exceedingly enjoyed by the audi? ence. At the conclusion of the Calisthenics, a brief respite was granted, after which tbe programme was concluded as follows: Compositon, "Man"?Miss Nannie Lewis. Dialogue, "If I Were a Sunbeam''? Misses Nellie Wilson and Josephine Cash in and Master Willie Andrew. Recitation, "The Barefoot Boy"?Miss Hattie Clinkscales. Composition, "Education"?Miss Nan? nie Pool.

Dialogue?Misses Elise Mauldin, Gena Benson and Zoe Bleckley and Master Joe Prevoat. Valedictory, "Time"?Miss Sallie Har? rison. Song, "Good Night." Had we the space, we would like to mention each one of the participants, but where every one did her or his part so well it is only necessary for us to voice tbe sentiment expressed by all in attend? ance, that tbe exercises were highly cred? itable alike to tbe teachers, under whose untiring labor and fine judgment the pu? pils had been trained, and the excellent style in which the pupils rendered tbe parts assigned to them. The pupil, were greeted with showers of bouquets and loudly applauded. The evening's entertainment was high? ly enjoyed by all present, and many en? comiums were passed upon Mrs. Murray and her accomplished assistants for the admirable manner in which tbe exercises were managed. off fo:e, hew xobk.

Tan Winkle King Cotton Press Has long been before the public, and is too well known to need any further description. Its chief points of merits are: It takes very little room, is easily handled, and takes so little power; can be used on all kinds of powers?horse, water or steam. Ginning and packing can all go on at the same time, without interfering with the Gin. A two inch belt will pack a 500 lb. bale of cotton. It saves its cost the first season in labor. Read the following Testimonial: Anderson, S. C?Mr. John E. Peoples?Sir: The Steam Power Van Winkle Cotton Press bought j from you last Fall has given entire satisfaction. I packed bales of cotton weighing 660 to 725 lbs. in five minutes with all ease, using a 4-inch belt and 25 lbs. steam. There did not seem any more strain on the Press than with a 450 lb. bale- For dura? bility, strength, lightness of power, small quantity of steam required, economy of space, I deem it the King of all Cotton Presses; especially so as the low i price at which it can be bought for puts it within reach of every man running a steam Gin. In fact I would not be without it for twice its cost, would advise all my friends to buy one of Van Winkle's Steam Power Cotton Presses, as you will save its cost in labor in one year. M. A. COBB.

Manufactured at Sing Sing, N. Y., has given satisfaction wherever used. The Saws are made of the best imported steel. The saw shaft is the largest made. An examination of other Gins will convince you it is the most substantially built Gin in use. It never breaks the roll, and therefore does away with the expense of the revolving head, as the secret of making the Gin to prevent its breaking the roll is in the proper shape of the roll-box.
