On Wednesday hist litis young gentleman departed for New York. The stagnation of busiucss here in duced him^o hunt employment in that great Metropolis.

We saw a young lady tho. other day with a crowd of ringed hair hanging down over her forehead. Frizzes are pretty, but a pound of twisted hail-hanging from under ones, hat makes a young woman's lace look like a calabash with a coon's tail tied around it. DON'T SEND lint THE HE? I Our friend; Ogreii, upon hearing that the President intended sending j Chamberlain to Sweden got| warmed up ami said his people would resist any such indignity. "If," said be "Haves' sends t hninbcrluin lo Swe den, I shall post a letter right behind him warning my countrymen to be ware of his thic(ship." ROBBERY? On Thursday attornoon as Mr. J. T. Stil ley and family were abt?nt from home his house was entere?] by lour colored men who cleaned it ?f almost everything. They carried away with them Mr. Pal ley's at.d wile's wardrobe, silverware, an 1 shot-gun. These thieves are supposed lo be in the County yet. The silver taken is marked J. M. W. and M. 11. W. The. gun is a small double-barrel gun, hammers standing low when half cocked, one carved and the pother plain. flAMPIVN A T LAST? "1 he new advertisement of Messrs. J.

This wonderful family perfumed in Masonic Had on Wednesday and Thursday nights of this week. The programme was varied and interest ing, consisting of vocal and instru mental music. It may bo truthfully said that Mr. Gruber, his wife and two little children, compose one of the most extraordinary combinations of musical talent in the country. We cannot describe tho many pleasing features of his performancos. And, withal, ho is a native and should be liberally patronized. Those who have never seen the Grubcr family should avail thcxiselve? "of the first opportunity presented to do so. A PHOTOGRAPHER?8 ADVICE? Au English photographer makes the following suggestions : "When a lady sitting for a picture would com pose her mouth to a bland r.nd serene character, she should, just upou entering the room, say 'bosom/ and keep the expression into which the mouth subsides Until the desired effect in the Camera is evident. 11', on the other b ind, she wishes to assume a ! distinguished and somewhat noble bearing, not suggestiv*?, of sweetness, j she should say 'brush,' the resulted j which is infallible. If she wishes to make her mouth I.mk small, she must say 'ilip,' but il*Litt? mouth be already too small anil needs enlarging, she must say 'cabbage.' 11"she wishes to look mourn.ul, she must say 'ker shunk;' if iVsigno I, shj must forcibly ejaculate 's'eat.'

There is no doiibt but the present condition of till kinds of business und industry is ^fearfully depressed, und it behooves every family to look care fully to their expenses. Winter is coming on when children are liable' to croup, whooping cough,etc. Cough and colds will prevail everywhere, and consumption, with other throat and lung diseases will carry off many. These diseases should not be neglect cd, Doctors bills are expensive, and wc would advise our people to usu Bbschco's German Syrup. Jt never has failed. One bottle at 7-3 cent will keep your winde family well during the winter. Two doses wil relieve any case. Sold in all towns in the United States, and by your Drug gists, Dr. A. C. Dukes? Dr. A. G.
