The firm has very kindly pre? sented us one of these razors, for which we return our best thanks, and as we have giveu it a trial we know whereof we speak when we say that a better razor has never been made. It is light and durable and has many other advantages, and then, too, it will never need boning. A good razor is a necessary article in any gentle? man's room.

So look out ye dead beats and bummers; be careful or you will get into trouble. Our debating society met with tbe White Plain boys or rather they met with us. If some of their boys can't speak any better than they did the other night we think they ought notjbe allow? ed to speak. Friend Tinsley is still in the ring.

The schools of Cleveland Broadmouth, taught by Misses Ellen Tribble and Ida Burls, will picnic on Broadmouth Creek, about a half mile frorr the Church, on Saturday, 29th inBt.

Quite a good congregation assembled at Broadmouth Church last Saturday to attend to the ordination of three deacons whom the Church had elected on the fourth Saturday preceding. The deacons of Big Creek, Turkey Creek and Honoa Path Churches had been invited, but only two from each of the last named were present. Rev. R. J. Williams, hav? ing been invited, preached an excellent sermon appropriate to the occasion. There was also a large congregation out on Sunday. The pastor, Rev. R. W. Burts, preached an able sermon, his theme being the "Crucifixion of Christ." After the sermon the solemn ordinance of the Lord's Supper was observed. Mr. acd Mrs. E. P.

Mr. Editor, I have no sick to report this time. The health of our oommunity ; is excellent, and it seems that everybody j is enjoying the Spring weather to their ut? most capacities.

We notiee that some of our farmers have already a fine stand of Ci/n, and tbe earliest cotton planted is bursting through tbe sod. Wheat and oats are looking fine up to date. If nothing befalls tbe crop there will be more wheat harvested is this lo? cality than in several of tbe former years. Well, Mr. Editor, I have given you about all the news at present, therefore I will salute my dag before hauling it down with best wishes to the Intelligencer, I am yours truly Abe Stubbins. Holland's Store. The following curious sentence we came across a few days ago: "Sator, arepo, tenet, opera, rotas." It has these pecu? liarities: First, it spells backwards and forwards tbe same; second, tbe first let? ter of each word spells the first word ; third, the second letter of each word spells the seoond word, and so with the third, fourth and fifth ; fourth, the last letters, read backwards, spells tbe first word, and so on throughout; fifth, there are just as many letters in each word as there are v? zrds. Wo have bad good rains and things have livened up. The stands of corn are re? ported very fair. The moles, however, are committing some depredations. The prospect for a good wheat crop is flatter? ing. It has taken on new life since the rain, and with few exceptions is looking fine. Peaches, plums, cherries, black? berries, <fcc., promises an abundant yield, and will come in-due time to supplement our diet account, and be beneficial in many respects. Mrs. J. T. McCown is ahead, so far as raiting chickens goes, of any one we know of. She has over one hundred and fifty now hatched off, and others soon to follow.

We hope, Mr. Editor, you will give us a small space in your valuable paper, as you do not hear from this section often. The wheat crop is very promising in this section, but oats are not so good in some fields. Our farmers have about finished plant? ing, and come of them are plowing over their corn. Cotton is coming up well, but these cool mornings have injured it. We are all trying a living at home, and tbe good ladies are raising plenty of chickens.

We bave nothing very new in our I midst cxcopt a runaway marriage on last Sunday morning. The iratefatbor, when he found his daughter absent suspicioned what was up, and started out to hunt her. He met the newly married couple walk? ing up the road, from tho house where they had been so recently united. He ordered his daughter home, to which she obediently went, while the groom went on his way alone, a sadder if not a wiser man. It is useless to comment on the cold weather of the labt few days, as no doubt the people of this County were fully aware of it. But the old saying holds good, "It is an ill wind that blows nohody good." Tho high wind no doubt prevented the frost irom falling, and kill? ing all the fruit and early vegetables. If the cold weather has killed What cotton has been planted, and tberosbould be not enough seed to plant again, the question arises, will it be a public calamity or a blessing ? If it should bring up the price of cott?n we would say the latter.

Be not deceived. Tbe signing of these applications is tbe signing for the estab i lishment of a Dispensary, for without a Dispenser there can be no Dispensary. If you are opposed to the Dispensary sign "no applications. Whenever any one gets on his petition "a majority of the freehold voters of the city," he may be given a "permit" to dispense liquors, and thus the Dispensary is established. Don't sign anybody's petition or appli? cation unless you want a Dispensary es? tablished. N. D. Attention Alumni. The following important address has been sent out to tbe alumni and students of tbe South Carolina College: Columbia, S. C, April 20th, 1893. Dear Sir: The Alumni Association has been desirous of convening as large a number as possible of the alumni and former students of the South Carolina College for conference on the condition and prospects of their Alma Mater, look? ing to earnest and immediate co-opera? tion, with the hope of interesting all friends of the college in the absolute necessity of taking'steps to increase the patronage of the institution. The college is to-day as good as it ever was. What? ever can be done, must be done at once. The Columbia Carnival has seemed to offer the best opportunity for suoh a meeting. You are, therefore, earnestly invited t o meet on the 18th of May, at 10 o'clock si. m., in the College Chapel, with all who shall come together then, and confer as to ways and means of upbuild? ing and sustaining this most necessary educational institution of the State. Ask your college friends to come with you. F. H. we8t0n, President, August Kohn, Sec. and Treas. S. C. C. Alumni Association. W. A. Clark, John T. Sloan, Jr., S. J. Duffie, Committee Richland Ass'n. ? Speaking for Abbeville County, the Press and Banner says : "This County certainly is a prohibition County, if the recent primary election means anything, and it seems to us that Prohibitionists, on principle, should not sign petitions for the establishment of County Dispen? saries." ? There appears to be something In tbe climate of Kansas conducive to mat? rimonial differences. As nearly as can be ascertained there are 5,000 divorces granted annually in the State. It is the exceptionj when a divorce asked for is not granted. For the April term of court in Leaven worth County there ap? pear forty-nine divorce cases, and in Shawnee County thirty-six. The Pro? bate Judge in Shawneo County shows re? cords to prove that be has granted 121 li? censes to wed during the months of Jan? uary, February and March, the period covered by the applications made for di? vorces. In Leaven worth the licenses granted were fewer in number than in Shawnee County, while the applications for divorce were many more. These two counties are but samples of tbe State, there being relatively the same number of divorces and marriages. Col. L. J. Alfred Writes: I am in my seventy-third year, and for fifty years I have been a great ?u?erer from indigestion, constipation and bill iousness. I have tried all tbe remedies advertised for these diseases and got no permanent relief. About one year ago, tbe disease assuming a more severe and dangerous form, I became very weak and lost "Hash rapidly. I commenced using Dr. H. Mozley's Lemon Elixir. I gained twelve pounds in three mouths. My strength and health, my appetite and my digestion were perfectly restored and now I feel as young and vigotous as I ever did in my life. L. J. Alfred, Door keeper Ga. State Senate, State Capitol Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 5, 1891. A Mother's Export. Mrs. N. A. McEntire writes from Spring Place, Ga. : For many years I have been a great sufferer from indigestion, sick headache and nervous prostration. I tried [ many remedies, but got no permanent re ! lief until I used Dr. Mozley's Lemon Elixir. I am now in better health than for many years.
