There were 959 votes polled?170 ,

The lateRt and best work on fruit

and it should be in every farmer's

as to the best methods for
having fine fruit at small cost. Onlv

Another Sign.
In conversafian las' week npon
farming matters a man said to ns,
"Have you yet noticed any wRsps
building their nests?" We said, "No;
why do you ask?" "Because, it' the
wasp builds hi-" nest low to the
ground there will be no fieshets this
ycai\and if be builds it lu'gh
are sirre fo have high water, 8o<3?!5Jt
I drt not intend to"plant any crop on
the low lands until I first see where
the wasp is building his nest." This
is n new sign among the prophets.
Vou can watch and see for yourself
as to the truth there is in it.
Good Itesnlfs in Every Case.
T). A. Bradford, wholesale paper
ripnifr of unnttanooga. i enn., writes
that lie was seriously afflicted with a
severe cold that settled on his lnngs
and had tried many remedies without
benefit. Being induced to try Dr.
King's Xew Discovery for Consumption,
did so and was entirely cured
hy use of a few bottles. Since
which time he has used it, in his
family for all Coughs and Colds with
best results. This is the experience
of thousands whose lives have been
saved by this Wonderful Discovery.
A Failure.
The railroad meeting which was
announced to take place at Rabon's
X Road8 in West Wateree on last
Thursday was a failure. Not more
than two or three persons tnrned
out.. Wp understand that Mr. Julius
XTilla nf Olioatof nhn 11 at. t.Vio hporl
of the Chester & Camden R. R., was
in the neighborhood, but ho did not
get to the X roads. From what we
can gather, we think the people over
there are anxious for the road to -be
built, and even talk as if they were
willing to vote for a subscription in
aid of it. They will probably have a
chance to-voteon the question, si|3
then we will see what they will do.
A. Family Reunion,
One of the happiest events of .the
kind we have ever attended was the
family reunion at(japt.JU H. reeoies
twelve miles east of Cnmden, on last
Friday. It was the 89th birthday of
Mrs. Lewis Peebles, widow of
the late Lewis Peebles, and it was
determined by the elder members
that they would celebrate it by having
as many of her descendents present
as possible
All of those who were near enough,
or who could come, were present,
but quite a number are residents of
other States?living in Louisiana,
Mississippi, Texas and Virginia.1
In all she has 197 descendents, of
whom 107 were present at the gathering
on last Friday, and a finer looking,
or more healthy assemblage of
people could not be fonnd. There
was not a delicate looking person in
the crowd, and they are all nnrabered
among the most reliable and substantial
c tizens of this and adjoining
counties. Her dependents are as
follows, by families:
Mrs. M. ?!. Holland with 5 children.
22 grand-children, 2 greatgrandchildren

About 1 o'clock the call to dinner
was announced and tt was a sight

("weighted down with all the substantial

saw a costly carriage and a pair of

Bill Nye Invites a IHichigander to
Come to North Carolina.*
A Michigan man who is poor bnt
honest, with a wife and one child,
writes to Bill Nye to inqnira about a
home in North Carolina, and is answered
thus by the humorist, through
the New York World:
"Come to North Carolina and you
will never regret it. It is a land flowing
with milk, honey and tar. Tt is
full of health, climate and smoking
tobacco. It will do yon good to come
here and livn till vnn nrtnallv orpt
. ? J ?J pv"
tired of it.
"It if? so extremely conductive to
health here that people grow an enormous
heights Evtn Mie preachers
crow to be over six feet high here.
"Relative to the chances for a poor-,
man in this country, where I now remain,
that being my principal business,
I will say irTn cursory way that
poverty is not regarded as a violation
of the statutes here in North Car^lino.
People have lived here for
years in abject poverty right under
the nose of tho grand jury. So yon
need not stay away on that account.
Moreover, the poor people of the
North Carolina mountains are a
thousand fold more contented than
the people of the North. If a man
must he poor all his life what can l?e
of more use to bin: than contentment?
That is the great difference between
Northern and Southern poverty.
"So come any time I will be at
the train wlmn you arrive. Would
it annoy yon if I were to bring the
band down to the depot with me?
We have a very fair all-round band
here, composed of self made colored
men who play in a chaste and nnoonstrained
way that will not frighten
you much if you are used to loud
snorts of melancholy. The members
nf this band have now perfected
themselves to such an extent that
they play right along just an fluently
without their leader, and while he up
ends his horn to pour out the juice
they take up the air and carry it
along in such a way that yon conld
ant miss the leader, and they embellish
all their music and improvise
so mnch that you oonW not tell what
tune they were plAying. Still, I will
ju6t eft yon nay ahbnt tbs
!>and down at the depot when you
some." Bill Nye.
Good Girls.
While wanderincr nnd lectnr\,f* in
Mississippi Bill Arp put npr at, a
model hotel, in the town of Newton,
where he paid his hill with supreme
satisfaction. He thus talks: "I sav
i model country hotel?the best I
have ever found, for all the writ is
lone by pretty daughters, and it is
iono merrily and neatly, and the
rare was jnst splendid. They are
not ashamed to help their good
pnrents make a living:. They are
smart. and pretty and well behaved. (
How gladly wonld T welcome them
as my daughter-in-law, for I would
then know Lhnt my bovs were safe. (
Safe from want and safe from social 1
roily."
The fgrtersville philosopher is ]
right. but how to get one's boys to
fancy model girls of that pattern is
the difficulty. Tt, may ho, t.lmt these
exemplary women will prefer men
th-t nre not worthy of them, and that,.

domestic phenomena The chances
are, however, that such girls. single
or married, will do well. They
have had a good start, and that
nhght, to count iphch on the life
lorirney. There are cartons and
startling evolutions even in the best
of women, as Count Tolstoi has demonstrated.
There are plenty vf good, industrious,
right-minded and noble
women, in all classes, and there,:
