An exchange says the way to ride a bi? cycle is to sit astraddle the saddle, put feet on the paddle, and get up and Bkedaddle. Don't forget this when you go to ride one.

And then she smiled?for every man present had put his band up behiud hin neck. The Rev. S. Lander, Chairman of Exec? utive Committee, sends for publication the following notice to which the teachers are requested to give their attention: " The meeting of the Teachers' Association will be held in Converse College, S par tan burg, on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of August, instead of the time heretofore pa blished.

Boyce Burrisa, than whom there is not a more industrious and capable business young man in the city, went to Cietnson Saturday on a pleasure trip.

Prof. DuPn has re? ceived like commendations from other of our people who have visited Clemnon. Our clever friend, Prof. W.

The series of meetings which be&an in the Presbyterian Church last Friday even ing are still going ou and are attended by large congregations. The sermens by Rev. John T. McBryde, D.

A man who hadn't much talent :br co? nundrums, in attempting to get one off at a tea party at his own house, the other evening, got exceedingly mixed. He in? tended to ask the old question, "Why is woman like ivy ?" the familiar but gal? lant answer to which Is, ''Because the more you are ruined the closes she clings." But he put it, "Why is ivy like a wo? man ?" which none of the ladies could tell, and so the unfortunate man bimse f told them it was "Because the closer it clings the more yon are ruined." Last Thursday afternoon Messrs. D. 8. and J. D. Maxwell received a telegram from Pendleton annonncing that their mother, Mrs. Lucy Maxwell, bad beeu .stricken with paralysis. The formnr, ac? companied by Dr. Orr, went immediately to Pendleton, and Mr. J. D. Maxwell went early next morning.

The Warrenton (Ga ) Chronicle, of the 19th in at., says: "We regret to leara that Mr. C. F. McDaniel, the photographer, will leave our town to-morrow for Anderson, S. C, where he will open a picture gallery and engraving business. Mr. McDaaiel is a fine artist and a first-class engraver. I He has mads scores of friends during his stay in our town, all of whom will re? luctantly give him up. The people of Anderson should feel complimented on having such a genial, polite gentleman as Mr. M. to come among them." - Last Friday morning at three o'clock in the village of Williamston the stoorcroom oooup'ed by J. C. Rogers and owned by Mrs. Sallie Shuler, of Batesburg, was dis? covered to be'on fire. Before anybody arrived it was too far gone to attempt to save anything, and the crowd devoted it? self to saving the residence of Mr. H. R. Barmore. The burning is supposed to be incendiary, and to be tho fruit of the many robberies in tbe town of late. The build? ing was insured in the Continental for 81,000, which is abont its value. Tbe Richmond & Danville Railroad changed their schedules May 14th, when a new fast train, in addition to the "Vesti? bule Limited," went on. This train will be known as "The U. S.

Fast Mail" north bound will leave Atlanta at Q 30 p. m. and arrive at Washington at 2.55 next day and New York at 9.20 p. m. All < lasses of tickets will be accepted, as this train carries coaches in addition to tbe Pulman cars, and it will not be necessary to take Pullman accommodations unless d<sired. The stockholders of the Western Caro? lina Land and Improvement Company held a business meeting at Calboun Falls last Thursday, and in company v Ith a number of invited guests we went down and spent tbe day there. Of com so, it was a day of pleasure to all whose good fortune it was to be present. "Mine host," Capt. N. A. McCully, who is in charge of tbe Millwood Inn, gave the crowd a cordial welcome and left noth? ing updone that would add to the comfort and pleasure of all of us. The dinner be spread before us could not be excelled anywhere, and the general verdict :?f.all when we left the dining room was that Capt. McCully and bis good wife know bow to conduct a hotel. Millwood Inn is a very substantial and convenient build? ing, and Bits on a high point, from wh ich a fine view of the surrounding country is afforded. A drug store and three general merchandise stores are now doing busi? ness there, and it is probable other; will open business there In the fall. A-; tbe stockholders' meeting the reports 0? the various officers were very encouraging, and it was decided to make some more Improvements in tbe next few months. Daring tbe day tbe guests visited the mineral spring and spent a very pleasant half hour there. The spring is ono of the largest we have ever seen, and is highly recommended for kidney and other dis? eases. Calhoun Falls is surrounded by rich farming lands, has flue railroad facil? ities, and is bound to be a place of some importance at no distant day, i In passing tue C. A. Reed Music House to day we noticed quite a change around of Pianos and Organs in the Music Parlor, and on inquiring what it all meant, was informed by Mr. Reed that it meant busi? ness? good sale3 and a heap of them. He has very recently sold and shipped out five very fine pianos. One to one of our bank cashiers, another went to Due West, one to Honea Path, one to Walhalla, while the fifth one was shipped to a party at Mt. Carmel. These parties are all good business men, and buy on close figures, having had prices from Charlotte, Colum? bia, Augusta, Atlanta and other points, but found on comparison that the C. A. Reed Music House of Anderson could down them all. Besides the nice piano sales Mr. Reed has rolled out quite a number of organs, sewing machines and bnggies recently, and says he still has a few more left yet for those who have not already bought. Anderson's future growth and success is largely dependent upon her transportc tion facilities and the competition afforded thereby. For certainly there is no more important requisite to a town's progress than railroad competition. Never before have our merchants here enjoyed such fierce competition as is now given by the Seaboard Air Line. They have come into our town via Calhoun Falls and the P. R. & W. C. R. R. with the quickest freight schedules ever seen here, and of course are being welcomed by the merchants. All freight for Anderson is placed in cars at Portsmouth and sent through solid via Calhoun Falls. At Portsmouth close con? nections are made with the six steamers a week from Baltimore, three from Phila? delphia, five from New York and three from Boston. At Atlanta, its Southern terminus, the most advantageous traffic arrangements exist with the several wes? tern and southwestern lines for the quick handling and forwarding of western freights. This virtually gives Anderson a new line to the East and to the West, with few parallels and no superior in the coun? try. The new vestibnled limited train, running solid between Washington and Atlanta, with through cars from New York, averages nearly forty-five miles an hour throughout the run, which is the greatest record ever known in the South for a new road. The closer Anderson's affiliations become with the Seaboard Air Line the better would her interests seem to be served. Mr. Cbas. J. Heard, solicit? ing freight arid passenger agent, and Messrs. C. I. Malone, of New York, and P. B, Thompson, of Baltimore, all of the Seaboard Air Line system, were in the city Tuesday meeting our business men. Mr. Heard has visited Anderson several times, and by his pleasant, courteous manners and genial disposition has made many friends here, and is working up a fine business for bis Road. He says An? derson is a live town, and is very favora? bly impressed with our people, couutry, elc" . Bclton Items. Dr. Chas. Manly preached two very fine sermons here lost Sunday, preaching morning and evening. We are sorry to learn that our towns? man, Mr. R- Hadden, is seriously ill at bis old home in Abbeville County. We sin? cerely hope he may soon recover and re? turn to his home in our town. Mr. G. W. McGee is having a very con? venient bath house and other improve? ments erected on his hotel lot. He and several others have made arrangements to get a supply of water from Rice Bros, water tank at the Oil Mill. * The closing exercises of the Belton High 8chool will come off Friday evening, June 2nd, at Stringer's Hall. The doors will be open at8 o'clock. There will be.an ad? mission fee of twenty cents for adults, and ten cents for children under twelve years old. The proceeds of the evening are to be appropriated to the school library. The program of this occasion consists of de? clamations, recitations, a very entertain? ing farce and a beautiful calisthenics drill,' besides vocal .and instrumental music. Five gold medals will be delivered to the successful competitors by Rev. H. Turnt r Smith, of Simpson vi lie, S. C. We hope to have a full house as usual. Mr. J. L McGee and bis wife and her two daughters, Mrs. Ligon and Miss Gena Benson, were in attendanco at the Biptist Church here last Sunday. We want somebody to .give us a good plan and a low bid for building a first class school house in Belton. Warm weather and beautiful nights are upon us, and the sweet voice of the mock? ing bird can be beard at the midnight hour. We are still listening for the marriage bells. George Robinson, a colored man of onr town, died here last Friday afternoon after a long'illness of consumption. There will be an exhibition of the work of the Art class, of this place, at the Belton Hotel on Saturday. June 3rd, between the hours of 2 and 7 o'clock p. m. The public generally is invited. The class is ably taught by Miss H. Keely, of Philadelphia, Pa. Miss Keely has been ar? instructor in the Williamston Female College for five years. * Towuvllle Locals. Prof. Rice has closed his school nt this place. The Professor intends visiting the World's Fair at an early day. Mis'- Olive Brown, teacher, goes from here to Williamston, 8. C. Miss Olive has endeared herself to the people of this place so much, that they are loath to give her up. Mrs Caroline Swilling, living uear this place, is still very sick. Miss Janie Gaines, of this place, is visit? ing relatives in Westminster this week. Prof. Rice and J. R, Bruce, of this place, are attending the Commencement of the Westminster Hii:h Sohool this week. Prof. W. A. Dickson, of Tugalo, S C, was in our village a few days ago. The Prof, has vacated his school and promised us a treat in the way of a visit in the near future. Prof. J. W. Gaines, Principal of the Westminster High School, rode from Westminster to Townville on a bicycle, a distance of fifteen miles, in one hour and twenty minutes. There is no use for a vestibule these record-breaking times. Mr. G. E. Smith and family, of this place, are visiting relatives in Piedmont this week. Judge Janes, of this place, is on the sick list this week. The ootton in this section is dying some from the cold weather. Corn, wheat and oats are flourishing. Mr. Furman McLeskey, who has been suffering with chronic exeima, is still very low. . Large scal-as come every day all over bis body and disappear, but the next day they come again. The case baffles all our doctors, and I think that every doctor in the oountry ought to see him and study the case. Old Rosin De Bow. Andersonville Items. The farmers are pushing their work for all it is worth. Ab a general thing they report a fair stand of both corn and cotton, and a very fine one of "General Green." Running "round" and thinning cotton is the order of the day. The cut worm is playing the mischief with the gardens, consequently there are not many good gardens in this section. They (the worms) are not quite so bad as tbe Hartwell Sun reported them last week ?that they eat out the mattock bandies, &o. Rev. F. M. Estes preaobed a good and entertaining sermon last Sunday, and Sat? urday before, to a large and attentive con? gregation. Miss Mollie Neese, a charming young lady of Hartwell, Ga, spent several dayB in this section visiting her father and other relatives. Come again, Miss Mollie, and stay longer next time. We are sorry to lose Mr. T. M. Edwards from our midst. He is now located at Keowee, Oconee County. Somebody is very lonely now, Henry Dennis (colored) left at our office (P. 0.) a sample of his oat crop. It is 5J feet high and 17 stalks from one grain. If any one can beat that let's hear from them. We hope the next samples left with us will be a nice bosket of vegetables as the poke is getting too tough and strong. The wheat orop Is looking vary promis? ing, and it looks as if a fellow could live well with such a fina prospect of a good blackberry crop and plenty of fruit up to this time.

"How Shall we Get the Most Good Out of the Dispensary Law !" Mr. Editor : It is but a few weeks un? til the Dispensary Law will go into effect. It is now too late to discuss the law itself, as it has been declared constitutional. The only question before our citizens now is, "How shall we get the most good out of the Dispensary Law ?" To every prohibitionist, to every lover of human? ity, to every follower of the blessed Christ, tbere'ean bo but one answer, viz : To get the most good of tbe aforesaid law let a majority of our freeholders re? fuse tbeir signature to all applications for the position of County Dispenser. To sign the petition for a would-be Dis? penser is to petition for tho establishment of a Dispensary. To refuse, is to have prohibition of the purest type with all the power of tbe State government to support it ard suppress illegal selling. The responsibility has been taken off the voters at large and put upon the voting freeholders. What "a responsibili? ty rests upon them! In the name of God and humanity, I beg our freeholders to pause long ere they place their signa? tures to a petition for a Dispensary. Heaven knows this community has suf? fered enough from the ravages of rum, as, alas ! what community has not ? I make bold to say that upon the free? holders of this town will rest all the re? sponsibility for the continued existence of liquor selling, and for all the ruin wrought by the Dispensary's establish? ment ! And, on the other hand, they will receive the approbation of God, of their fellowmen, and of their own con? sciences, if they but withhold their sig? natures and give us freedom from tbe curse of rum. Freeholder, if you contemplate signing a petition, do not write your name in ink ! Take your boy, if you have one, and get a little of his BLOOD, and with that trace your gory signature to a doc? ument that will make devils laugh with hellish glee, aDd, perhaps, damn the soul of that idol of your heart. "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." God forbid that our free? holders should sow a DisponSrtry and thus perpetuate tho harvest of drunken men and lost souls ! G. P. Watson. Journal and People's Advocate please copy._ Guy ton Sittings, The fruit crop promises to be a large one, especially the blackberries. Conse? quently your bumble servant is resting in hope of a glorious feast. Three bicyclists from Greenville passed through our city Saturday on tbeir way to Anderson. Tbe young men were in high spirits and seemod to be enjoying tbeir outing. They passed on their return Sun? day afternoon. The health of our community is very good, with the exception of the small boy, who will persist in climbing apple trees and exploring plumb orchards and, need I eay, partaking of tbe green fruits. As a result, the Doctor is having all be can attend to. One of our young meu paid the Sbiloh section a visit Sunday, but he says the boys beat him to the tank. Try It again, partner ; wish you better luck next time. The farmers of this section are most done thinning cotton. Corn is looking well. Come up, Messrs. Editors, daring roasting ear season and we will give you a feast. Watchman. IN MEMORIAL. In Memory of Little Emmie, Only Child of N. B. and R. K. Suit 1 Tan, Born May 22nd, 1801, Died May I3tb, 1893. We know the leaves must fall, And only a season tbe flowers star ; That death must come, and sometime plucks The only bud in the home bouquet! We know not to-day but to-morrow Wo may be destined to part, With a precious household treasure, The jewel of our heart! Little we dreamed a few weeks ago, How soon our lllly fair God would transplant to His garden, To bloom in her purity there! Oh, these rare, sweet flowors God gives us: how we feel Their tendrils twino around our hearts, With chains of strongest steel! When a link in the chain snaps asunder, It seems the heart must break; Only they who've "loved and lost" Know how the heart can ache! Two years have flown on wings of timo, Since the link was broken in twuin That bound our hearts to our eldest born, And so soon it is severed again! For three brief years sweet Lila May Brightened our littio home neat, But God thought best to take her away To the beautiful haven of rest! In our care He entrusted another ba'e To cherish, to pet, and love, But, in His mysterious Providenco, She, too, has been called above! Now the little cradle's empty, On da'nty pillow no tired bead rests < Vainly mother holds her arms for baby Longing to lull her to sleep on her breast! Sometime in tbe hush of the twilight hour Our darlings seem hovering near ; Don't you think they are searching for "Mama,-' And miss her sweet love and care ? Ah, no! by tenderer hands than mother's Our little ones now are at rest; And with love too deop to fathom On their lips are the kisses pressed. We mourn not, but bend to His will, 'Tis God's loving hand dealt the blow ! He wanted our babes in Innocence, unstained, In His wisdom to train as they grow. And now oar two pure Hilles In the beautiful Paradise bloom, Sweet thought, it robs tho "gravo of victory" And death of its pallid gloom! "There shall be no night there, Neither sorrow or pain" any more ; God's promise: how it comforts and cheers As the echo resounds from the distant shore ! Col. L. J. Alfred Wrltts: I am in my sevonty-tbircl year, and for fifty years I have been a great &ufferer 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 flesh rapidly. I commenced using Dr. H. Mozley's Lemon Elixir. I gained twelve pounds in three months. My strength and health, my appetite and my digestion were perfeotly restored and now I feel as young and vigoious as I ever did iu my life. L. J. Alfred, Door-keeper Ga. State Senate, State Capitol Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 5, 1891. A Mother's Report. 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 Leraon Elixir. I am now in better health than for many years.
