Howe, of the Episcopal Church, will visit or. r town this week and conduct services at the Church of the Redeemer on next Friday morning at 11 o'clock, ?be Bishop is a most excellent preach er, and it will be a literary treat to hear bin discourse, to say nothing of the good it may do you in a religious -way.

Missionary Meeting?The. anni * Tersary meeting of the St. Raid's V?'o wan's Missionary Society will take place next Sunday evening in the Meth odist* Church. In connection with the other exercises of the occasion, there will be addresses by the Rev. Mr. M?l ler, of the Presbvterian Church, and Rev. J. E. Carlisle, *of the Methodist Church. A cordial invitation is exten ded to the congregations of the Presby terian, Baptist, Lutheran and Episcopal Churches of our city, and any others interested in the cause, to be present at jthemeeting. Can This be True??The Barn well People, of last week, says: "A Bam berg subscriber informs us that Or?nge burg fishermen have so completely ob structed the Edisto with riets kept in the river all the week round that ho 'shad-can get up as high as the railroad bridge. Theres a good chance for a Trial Justice to make himself useful by breaking up the blockade which is so selfish and unlawful." This is a seri- j ous charere, and we hope it is a mistake. What say our friends on Edisto below the railroad bridge to the accusation. Guilty or not guilty ? OUR CnoiCE.?The young man who knows how to lay off corn and cotton rows and to regulate the distance of the same so as to get the largest crops is worth a cowpen full of nice, kid-gloved fancy-overcoated fellows, who may know how to lead the German or caper around at a fashionable waltz. Siding cotton, setting a plow just right and adjusting gears so that shoulders and back of horse will never hurt, are ?worth a thousand fold more to the ?country than knowing how to pase in jH^arior, or to adjust the shade of the ?cravat to the complexion of the wearer. Burmed to Death.?Maria Forrest, ?colored, who lived with her father, Chas. Forrest, on the Old Charleston Road about two miles below Orange burg, was so severely burntlast Thurs day that she died from its effects in "twenty-four hours after it happened. _She_was standing near a fire in the Jleld when her clothes caught. Instead ?of trying to extinguish the tire, she ran And screamed until every stitch of ?clothing was burned from her person. Dr. W. C. Wannamaker was called in, and done all he could to relieve the suffering woman, but it availed noth ing. _i -A Candid Man.?A Fair field County man has made the confession that he is in some measure anxious to get inar jied, and the Winnsboro News und ITerald believes him to be the first An glo-Saxon who has mado this admission since m?ification times, and says that if the young ladies have any desire to encourage the habit of this honest and 8tKiightlorward statement of fact in the opposite sex they will see to it that this man is provided for. This requires that some one be sacrificed it is true but the victim will have the proud con sciousness of knowing that she is a martyr in a glorious cause. The Edisto Hikles Picnic?The annual picnic of the Edisto Rides "will come off on May 1, at the usual place. An excellent committee of arrange ?tats have got the matter in charge, ^^?the boys are determined to make Bfccasion a grand one. The follow Hfctlemen cor stitue the coinmit Iitenant X. H.

BH fy the Wrong Way.?A ^MBician of Abbeville County MbS ;in accidental discovery, ShSSh riot be generally accepted Hscience. lie was called to Bv patient who had pnenmo BBba smaU phiid of veratrum, IfWRH^m intern.illy, and a liniment, composed of hartshorn, turpentine und chloroform, to be applied externally, ?promising to return the next day. On nis return be was much gratified to find his patient better and" able to sit up, but he complained of a terrible sore .throat. On examination he found that the patient had taken the linement and jubbed with the veratrum. A Xew Law.?The last Legislature passed an Act giving trial justice courts jurisdiction in agricultural lieu mat- \ ters where the amount claimed does not exceed one hundred dollars. The trial justice proceeds just us the clerk did under the law as it was, that is he issues a warrant upon an affidavit, seizes and sellls the crop and applies the proceeds thereof to the payment of the debt secured by the lien, unless the lienor shall claim that the amount claimed is not justly due, in which case an issue shall be made up and a trial had between the parties. The jurisdic tion of the trial justice is not exclusive, but concurrent, and the clerk can still issue his warrant for an amount. Gkand Military Ball.?A grand military ball will lie given at Fort Motte on next Monday night for the benefit of the Fort Motte Guards. The money realized will be devoted to the completion of the new armory of the company, and it is to be hoped'that the affair will net a handsome sum. as this gallant corps is making a laudable ef ort to complete their much needed quarters. The following committees have the matter in charge, and we feel safe in saying that the ball will be one of the most enjoyable affairs of lb" sea son: Committee of Reception.?Captain R.M. Claffy, Lieutenant R. G. Murray. Lieutenant E. B. Peterkin and Lieu tenant W. R. Tabcr. Committee on Invitations.?Sergeant A. T. Darbv, Private W Ik Trczvaiit, Corporal X. E. Carroll, Private W. T.

Stop My Paper.--There are people who will take a newspaper and read it for years without paying anything for it, and finally move away without even notifying the publisher; or if dunned he will refuse to take the paper out of the postolliee. We have been served in this way often. It a person is indebted to us for subscription and desires to dis continue the paper, remit the amount due. If you propose to rob us of the amount due, then write to usas follows : "You have been fool enough to believe that the writer was honest, and that you could trust him for a dollar or two without a waive note or mortgage. I have taken your paper, read it, received the benefit of your labor on account of the error you have made in thinking my name and character was worth that amount. I believe I can swindle vou and propose to try it. Discontinue "my paper. You are at liberty to publish this note for the benefit of my neigh bors." Sign your full name and ad dress, iind we will see what can be done, d the result will be satisfactory. OUR BREVITY BASKET. Filled TTJth Brief Mention of Many Mlnoi Events of tile Week. Messrs. W. A. Metts and Ed. ScoviUf have goneto the Exposition. The descendants of Brighara" Young now number 15,000 persons. If you want a ticket to theFort Motte BaU"write to the committee. We wish our friends of the Fort Motte Guards a grand success with their ball. This will grauunRy become a Demo cratic administration. Slow, but sure, is Cleveland's motto. Theo. Kohn makes some special an noucements this week. The ladjes would do well to read therm .A man was married -at Gilbert Hol low, Lexington County, whose first Wife had only been buried 24 days. The spring business boom which has been postponed on account of the in clemency of weather will now com mence. A little child of Air. Dave Griilith, of the Fork, was burnt to death last week. We could not learn tfye particulars of the sad accident. The Marion Star says a druggist is needed in that town "with backbone enough to keep spirituous liquors for strictly medicinal purposes." Very few teachers attempt to rule their pupils with a rod of iron: but a stick about live feet long is a handy thing to have in a school house. - What many Democrats desire to know is how soon the doctrine of evolu tion shaU be liberally applied to Repub lican officeholders in the South. We hope our correspondents will keep up a regular fire.. Two heads are better than one, and many are better than two. Be brief; tell us the news. Here you are again reading a borrow ed paper. Be ashamed of yourself. Go borrow your neighbor's shirt?you might do so with as much propriety. The sun has crossed the line, and winter is blowing over. It will all come right in a few weeks, and fellows will be asking where to go to keepcool. The Grand Lodge of Knights of Honor of this State will meet in Chester on April 15th. Orangeburg Lodge, No. 1-102, will be represented byj. L.Sims. Interest in base ball is being revived among the boys as spring approaches. We understand that a match game wiH be played on Thursday afternoon on the old parade ground. In answer to numerous inquiries we will state that our knowledge does not extend to the time when the abomin able winter shall cease lingering in the lap of the alleged spring. To test the potency of newspaper ad vertising; Jos. Eros* will give a gift in proportion to every purchaser of 5 cents worth or more, for the next sixty days, by mentioning this notice. A grand ball will be given by the Fort Motte Guards in their new Arm ory on next Monday night. No doubt many of the devotees of Terpsichore will attend from our town. The Keowee Conritr asks, "will our mountain friends never cease making moonshine whiskey and violating the internal revenue laws of the Govern ment ?" and echo answers, never. Pneumonia has been very general in this section for sometime, and one of our leading physicians informs us that he never has seen it so fatal in a long { practice. It has taken off quite a num ber of our citizens. Mrs. L. M. Smoak has removed her Millinery Shop from the old stand to one of the new stores near B. B. Owen. A call at her establishment would re pay the ladies as shenow opening her Spring bonnets. The Barnwell Sentinel says: "Mr. Izlar, Probate Judge of Orangeburg County, paid our town a visit last week, and honored us with a, call. As an officer his county should feel proud of him." We are proud of him. Fish stories have begun. Out in Cali fornia they have caught a regular Sia mese twins affair, two tish joined to gether from their gills to the tail. That does very well as a starter, but it won't discourage our Orangeburg liishermen. The Rev. J. P. Probst, I). D.. who at one time preached in our County, has resigned pastoral charge of the Luth eran Church at Walhalla greatly to the regret of Iiis old parishioners and to the entire community in which he has lived. A down train on the South Carolina railroad, on Thursday, killed a negro man. The man jumped on the track in front of the engine. He hud been walk ing on a parallel track and probably be came confussed as to which track the train was moving on. Last .Sunday was Palm Sunday, and next Sunday will be Easter, which is always the first Sunday after the full moon which happens 'noon or next after the 2ist of March, and if the full moon happens upon Sunday, Easter is the Sunday after that. In Portland. Maine, 964 boys have signed the triple pledge against whisky, tobacco and profanity. That is a good pledge for boys, and we suggest alike pledge to the'boys of Orangebe.rg. It is hoped that all* the Maine boys will grow up to manhood without violating their pledge. Bro. Holmes, of the Barnwell People, must have it bad. Here is what he says in his last issue; "Paragraphs are floating about to the effect that diseases are frequently communicated by kiss ing. Wo supposed every one knew that the most dangerous and swift of all diseases was communicated in that way ?heart disease." The dog show took place on Thnrs dav, in Aiken, was largely patronized, the receipts at the door being !?4S.?X). Now it' we can't tlo anything else Orangeburg ought to have a dog show, followed by a colored skating rink and a colored tourninient. "We must not re main dead any longer. Something must be done to stop auction sales. Tiie Barnwell People says: "Mr. Paul A. Williams killed with a gig about ten days ago in Capt. W. M. Bos tick's pond, near Allendale, a carp inches long, 13 incites in circumference and weighing 10^ pounds. The pond was stocked with small carp in the fall of 1881." This is encouraging to. those of our friends who have carp ponds. The Barnwell Sentinel says: Mr. Sims, the proprietor of that excellent journal, the Orangeburg Times and Dkmockat, graced our sanctum with his presence last week, and from him we were pleased to learn that his paper is progressing. His county has done much for him, and his looks indicate that he live.-; high." Only in thesecon 1 story, friend Branson. The girls and boys of Sheridan's Classical School, composing the Girl's I Chapter and the Hampton Litirary Society, are getting up an exhibition, i consisting of charades and tableaux, which will be presented to the public sometime in April. A small admission fee will be charged, and the proceeds will he devoted to purchasing books for the library of the two soeities. An editor was attacked by a tramp I the other day, and in crying out for help was delighted to see a man run i ning to the spot. The tramp, however, j continued to maltreat the editor, while : the stranger hovered near but failed to , close in. 'Why don't you help me?' ex ; claimed the discomfited editor. 'Be | cause 1 can't tell which of you is the J tramp ami which ain't,' was the candid j reply. A rich old farmer, passing along the ! street the other day, advised his wife as follows: 'Old lady, when you go to : trade, steer clear of those stores that ; don't advertise in the papers. "When you see a store tiiat does its advertising on a board leaning upon the sidewalk 1 pass that store by. and go to one thai j lias a respectable advertisement in v I paper.' The'old lady' promised to obey j Excellent advice. ; Yon may be able to get a large city weekly, filled with murders, scanda ; eases, cock lights, etc., for the samt ? money that you pay for your loca paper or less, but these city weeklies never advertise your County and makt ! your property valuable. They do nol help along your schools and churches I they do n:>t publish your County news ' they say nothing of you and your towi and have no interest in you. A loca paper is a great advantage to any towi or community. Stand by your homi I paper, for it is ever on the lockout fo I your interest. Scarcity of Fisn.?From nearly ev ery section of the State -we hear the complaint of the scarcity of shad this : season. It is thought that obstructions in the shape of wire nets are placed J in the lower parts of the different riv ers to prevent the fish from coming up. j If this is true, it is wrong and the par ties doing it should be punished. The , la^'s of the State are very explicit on this point. Section 1669 provides that "at no time of the year shall there be ' any permanent obstruction of any kind 1 or nature whatever, in any of the in land creeks, streams or waters of the ? State." They also provide that from , sunset. Thursday to sunrise Tuesday all seines, nets, or other devices for stop ? ping or collecting fish shall be entirely i removed from said streams. The pen alty for violating this law is a fine of , $200, half of which is to go to the in-' ) former and the remainder to the Coun I ty, or imprisonment for a time not less than three months nor more than six. We all can see the importance of obey ing: this law. The larger the number of shad hatched out in the upper waters of the Edisto River this Spring, the lar ger the number that will run up next year. For it is a well known fact that migratory fish, by an unerring instinct always return, unless prevented by some obstacle, to the place at which they were hatched. The man who is selfish enough to place obstructions so that no fish can pass them, not only prevents his neighbor from enjoying property to which he has an equal right, but also destroys the source of his own supply. We hope tose whose duty it is to enforce this law will see that it is not violated in the Edisto. Almost a Serious Fire.?Last Tuesday morning a fire originated in the picker room of Cornelson's factory, and for a time it looked sis if the whole factory was in danger of destruction, but fortunately the admirable arrange ments of Mr. Cornelson for meeting just such an emergency, and the prompt-, ness of Superintendent Rounds in put ting them into operation, averted the danger by checking the fire until the fire department cauld get to work and subdue it altogether. The fire origin ated in one of the pickers and is sup posed to have been caused by a match j in the cotton. As we said, at one time the outlook for a large fire was good, and had it not been for the adthirable management of Superintendent Rounds we fear that this morning we would have to chronicle the destruction of the entire factory, which would have been a great calamnity to this community, as well as to the energetic and perse vering proprietor. Mr. Cornelson's loss is about 81,500, in addition to which must be reckoned the loss of time occa sioned by the stoppage of the mill. A Thief Escapes.?The Summer ville Herald say: "Peter Way, colored, whom the authorities at Orangeburg offered a reward for his capture for stealing a horse from Mr. James Bell, was arrested on Saturday last by two colored men and brought to this town tied to a horse. The novel scene attrac ted considerable attention until the prisoner was untied. Mr. Bell was telegraphed to at Orangeburg and he arrived on the 11.43 a. m. train. In his haste to catch the train, Mr. Bell ne glected to procure the necessary papers to take Way on to Orangeburg, and in consequence had to return for that pur pose, leaving Way in charge of James Gantt, one of Justice Perry's constables. The prisoner complained of being tor tured by the handcuffs and begged the constanble to ease them for him so that he could sleep. In the morning when the 'constable awoke the prisoner was gone. Mr. Bell returned on Sunday armed with the law, but his man had given all the slip. A guardhouse could have prevented this carelessness." A Model Girl.?The Greenville I News speaks thus of a young lady from that section: "Robert Yargin. a one armed ex-Confederate soldier of Dial's township, Laurens, lias a daughter of whom he can be very proud. She has for several wintere acted as engineer, running her father's engine to gin cot ton; using her books, even while at the engine, for self improvement. By her self application, energy and industry, she has made money enough to educate herself, first teaching and then attend ing schopl. She is now in the, graduat ing class of the Columbia female col lege, has been elected to write her class's valedictory address and holds the posi tion of first honor in her class. Miss Yergin is now but 17 years of age, handsome and intellectual. She bids fair to run a bright and useful career in a lady's proper sphere. Miss Mary Yergih's younger sister, Miss Lilah, 14 years of age, now runs her father's engine and promises to follow in her elder sister's footsteps." The E lectog it a pi i PoRTRAiT.-IIave you ever seen an Electograph Portrait? We presume you never even heard of them, for very few people outside of New York city have ever heard of them comparatively speaking, and less have seen them. It is a copy of a small pic ture with the Electric lights beauti fully and artistically enlarged to life size and painted in oil colors, and war ranted to last a life time. Call at our ollice and see us under the Electric Light. Mr. T. C. Andrews, is the agent for this County for taking these pic tures, and soon will commence can vassing our city. We would advise all those who desire a small picture enlarg ed of their husband, the wife, the chil dren, the cousins, the uncles und the aunts, and not least, the sweethearts, to give Mr. Andrews an order Robbing the Grave.?The Berkeley Gazette says : "Pooshee plantation, in St. John's Berkerley, contains in the old family burying ground the graves of many of the De St. Juliens and of their kinsmen, the Ravenels, the present owners of the place. All that remains to mark the grave of Stephen Mazyck, who w.'ls buried there almost a century ago, is a rough footstone, marked S. M. Two gentlemen of the family had their suspicions aroused, and on visiting the spot found that Stephen Mazyck's grave ha;l been recently interfed with; fresh earth, green leaves and grass be ing found several feet beneath the sur face. It is said that the negroes in the neighborhood believe the intials S. M. to mean silver money, and this probab ly caused the desecration of the grave." Orangeburg Mutual Aid Associa" tion.?Capt. j Ham. Felder, who has recently been appointed the General Agent of this Association, is now en gaged in canvassing the County with a view of extending its membership, and we commend it to the favorable con sideration of our people. The scope of the Association has been considerably enlarged recently, and now any white person in the ?nited States br else where is eligible to membership, pro vided he can pass the medical examina tion as to health, and his moral charac ter is good. For full particulars con cerning this Association address Capt. J. Ham. Felder, Felderville, S. C. Roller Skating.?The war contin ues against roller skating. It is a con solation to know that this amusement has not carried our Southern people away. It is mostly confined to North ern and Western towns. The objection is that the sport is dangerous and that unexperienced skatersoften break limbs and heads. The great evil however is the smashing of young unformed char acters. Promiscuous crowds assemble in the rinks, for the payment of the door fee would admit the Devil himself. All the belter conditions of society are protesting against the evil, and we hope it will be abated. The Chops. ? "Guess," writing to us from Jamison, says: "Farmers are dil igently engaged in preparing their land for planting, ami notwithstanding the disagreeableness of the weather, they have made rapid progress in this direc tion; most of them are through plant ing corn, and will soon be ready for cotton. The oat crop is not looking very well, they have been thinned out considerably by the cold, in consequence of which, there is not a very good stand. But the farmers say if "it con tinues warm they will make a pretty fair oat crop yet."

Items of Interest Picked up In our Sister Town by our Keslilnnt Reporter. Messrs. John A. Byrd and Dan. J Carroll left last week for New Orleans. Mr. Dvsinger's school is in a nourish ing condition. It now numbers nearly sixty scholars. The Board of Health has ordered a general cleaning up about town. A move :n the right direction. Owing to the recent heavy frosts nearly all garden operations have ceas ed. The young plants are killed. Mrs. Williams, wife of Rev. H. A. Williams, has been quite sick at the residence of Mr. V. Bates, six miles dis tant from this place, but is much bet ter now. The season for liars is at hand. The champion liar of St. Matthews claims, only a stock of forty hundred thous and, but says he will replentjsh as the season advances. Dogs?speaking of dogs, we venture to say that Mr. Hydrick Winges has the linest lot of imported fox-hounds in the County. He recently caught three foxes in two hours. Next. Messrs. B. Jacobson & Son have re cently completed a building on their lot to be used for a restaurant, and Mr. Dan. W. Herlong is now having mate rial hauled to build a store on his lot on Bridge Street. Thus in spite of hard times our town continues to grow. We believe the officers and agents of the South Carolina Railway Company are all clever and accommodating; but we commend Mr. Edd. Winiberly, agent at this place, as being unsurpassed for the rapid dispatch of business and urbanity of demeanor toward those who have business with him connected with his office. Mr. Wimberly states that 7,982 bales of cotton have been shipped from this place so far this sea son, besides large quantities of naval stores. This depot is, also, the distrib uting point for immense quantities of commercial fertilizers to a large section of the best cotton lands, in the State. .Trial Justice Hennon of this place is a model one. One day last week a col ored damsel of unenviable fame was brought before him for some minor of fence of the law; whereupon a verdant knight of the razor begged leave to in form the Court that the prisoner was a lady and his wife, also; when asked for a marriage certificate he blandly replied that he had never been lawfully married. The Judge forth with took him in custody on a much graver charge than the, one her lady ship was held for. After an exhibition of much penitence on the part of the unhappy pair, the Court agreed to re lease them if they would then and there have the marital knot t ied which oiler was promptly-accepted. No cards. Alpha. Fertilizers Continued. Editor Times and Democrat: I promised iu my last to write of the commercial fertilizer of the times. Do the phosphate guano pay on old sandy soilV I answer no. I must say that my experience with them is that the first application to this quality of lands, pays handsomely, but never afterwards. They are deceptive. If a farmer de pends upon increasing the productive ness of his lands by the application of them alone, he depends upon a broken stick. 1 used three of the best brands in market rive years in succession, two hundred pounds per acre, my yield of cotton the first year were 800 pounds of seed cetton. The fifth and last year, 300 pounds seed cotton. In our Agri cultural Society, the experience of Mr. Fowles with the acid phosphate as a top drissing for oats proved worthless. With Mr. Bennett a success, increasing the yield one-third. Now, Mr. Editor, I invite the progressive fanners to give us in your valuable paper the ra tionale. "Critic's" humble opinion is that the sulphuric acid in these phos phates acts also on the plant food held in the soil and makes it poor indeed. I object to sulphuric acid because I think it makes the plant food too soluble. AVhy. sir, the small smigin of amonia they put in these phosphates, the lirst saturating shower the cotton or corn drink it all up. 1 would advise any far mer using them, not to let crab "grass put its mouth on it. for it will steal it all from the crop. These guanos would pay us well if the manufacturers would put about three times as much amonia as they do. 1 am glad to see some im provements in this line the present season, there is good room for it. I heard that one. company amoniated three tons with one dead cat several years ago. In justice to the phosphates, I must say that they pay me in produc ing corn and peas if there is humus in the soil. In my next I will write on the quantity of fertilizer. critic March 28,1885. A Kentucky Sensation. GrATSOX, Ky., March 27.?J. William Neal, the last of the Ashland murder ers, was brought here last night from Mount Sterling for execution. Large crowds greeted him at each station. He was firm ?and composed, and maintain ed his innocence to all of the many who visited him. He ordered eggs, bacon and coffee for supper, breakfast and dinner, and refused the attendance ol ministers until this morning. At 1 o'clock he was taken to the gallows, where a large crowd was waiting to witness the execution. He was escorted by one hundred guards armed with double-barrelled shotguns and pistols. Neal ascended the scaffold with great composure. He said : "I say to one and all, you know this is no place to tell a lie.* I stand here to-day to suffer for a heinous crime I did not commit, and one day my inno cence will be established beyond" doubt. I bid you one and all good-bye. Oh! Lord thou knowest I am innocent. Into thy hands 1 commit my soul. 1 am innocent." The last words were said just as the drop fell. .He was pronouced dead in I ten minutes. None of his relatives were present. Strange Coincident. On last Monday while a negro was plowing with Mr. A. D. Kennedy's horse in what is known as the old Si Perry field near the depot, the horse in passing an old well in the field stepped too near the edge of the well and the loose dirt caved in, throwing the animal into it. The horse's neck was broken, by the fall, causing death in a few minutes. In the afternoon while a colored man was plowing up a field near Gen. Kennedy's house with Gen. Ken nedy's horse drawing the plow, the horse suddenly began to flounder as if falling into a hole. II? soon disappear ed from sight, and on investigation it turned out that he had fallen into an old well that had been covered over with some polls and brush. It w;us about twenty feet deep. The horse was killed by the fall. It is rather a queer coincidence that t wo horses belonging to brothers should meet with similar and such unusual accidents on the same day, in different places. The negroes who plowed the horses were also broth ers.?Camden Journal. That "Terrible Warning." Last week one of the French dailies in Montreal published a sensational story about a man in Acton Yale. Bagot, County, "while engaged in thrashing grain indulged in a great deal of profanity, and that on be ing reproached for his language by some bystanders he replied: 'li there's a God let him punish me.' The man was at once stricken with paralysis and fixed in the position in which he stood. Not only this, but he became, as it were, rooted to the ground and could not be removed, and the neighbors bad to cov er him with rugs to protect him from being frozen. Although offered food he could not take it. It is reported that Mgr. Fahre is to visit the place, presumably to try and restore the man." The article has been copied far and wide and was also telegraphed to the leading American daily papers. In quiry from reliable quarters proves the case "to be a fictitious one throughout, and that Bishop Fahre never heard of the affair and therefore never contem plated visiting the alleged blasphemer, ?Montreal Herald.

His wife, Mrs. Martha Phillips, died on Saturday and was buried on Sunday, as already noted in the New*. Mr. Phillips was well on the day of his wife's death and sent a friend to Dantider & Mackey, of this city, to purchase a coffin for her. When it was taken to his house he examined it carefully, expressed his approval of it, and said he would be dead in a week and wanted to be buried in a coffin exactly like his wife's. The same friend came in yesterday and executed the sad commission. Four other members of the Phillips family are now down with pneumonia.?Greenville News. A Curd to the Public.

No other complaints are so insidious in their attack as those affecting the throat and lungs: none so trifled with by the majority of suffer ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting perhaps from a trifling or unconscious ex posure, is often but the begiuuiug of a fatal sickness. Ayet.'s Cherry Pectoral has well proven its efficacy in a forty years' fight villi throat and lung diseases, and should be taken lu all cases without delay. A Torrible Courrh Cared. "InlP37I took a severe cold, which nlftcted my luiiKS. 1 had a terrible cough, nnd passed night after night wit bunt sleep. The doctors gave me up. 1 tried Aykk'b C'HEKitv Pec toral, which relieved my lungs, induced sleep, nnd afforded me the rost necessary for tue recovery of my strength.
