The chief interest in the lecture, aside from its really Lremdous scientific value, was the fact that Prof. Heiprin had obtained his views and his knowledge at fearful personal risk. Remarkable Growth. "Great oaks from little acorns grow," and the product of the tiny seed astonishes the world by its giant dimensions. The growth of J. A. Mimnaugh's business for the past ten years has been just as remarkable as the rearing of any giant tree whose towering majesty ever graced a forest. Ten years ago all there was to J. A. Mimnaugh could have been crow-ded into a small-sized wagon, and if the wagon had been dragged over a rough road the contents would have rattled. His business was very much like the tiny acorn. But ten years passed. and the little acorn. fanned and encouraged by the gentle breezes wafted from fluttering leaves of judicious advertisement, and wat ered by the grateful and steady flow of a liberal patronage. grew and strengthened itself and spread, until now this progressive business house, like a mighty oak, has spread its ever lengthening branches to the four winds of the heavens, with the result that business firms of lesser dimen sions have been put forth literally and figuratively "in the shade." Mimnaugh's business is like the proverbial oak in some other respects, too. It doesn't stop growing. This spring it is going to put out some new and green and healthy sprouts that will reach the zenith of fair dealing and low prices. His name has been synonimous for honest prices and remarkable bargains for several years, but he is going to fairly outdo himself in the year 19o5. He still believes in the salubrious effect of the advertising breezes, and the tide of liberal patronage is on the flood. Advertised Letters. For week ending Dec. 31, 1905 B--L. D. Body.

The following is taken from the Augusta Chronicle of Sunday: An engagement which has just been announced, and which has been 1 anticipated with greatest interest in Augusta, is that of Miss Myrtie Schumpert, of Newberry, to Mr. Charles Earle Bell, of Augusta. Mr. 1 and Mrs. Frederick Abney Schumpert I have formally announced their daugh ter's engagement. The date of the wedding is not as yet fixed, beyond the fact that it is to occur in April.

Berry, Miss Schumpert was among the greatly admired social favorites of Augusta and by her gracious and attractive manners as well as by her charm of her bright and winsome beauty, she has made numbers of devoted and loyal friends, who are eager to wel come her here as one of the young matrons of Augusta.

"Billie" Smith, the well known veteran conductor of the Greenville branch of the Southern railway, will soon return to active railroading.

Smith was given a leave of absence for one year by P. I. Welles while superintedent of the Savannah division, with the privilege of retain ing his relative rank. This was ex tended for another year when it ex pired. The extension was, made by Superintendent H. A. Williams, who had succeeded Mr. Welles wvhen the latter resigned--The State, 9th. Capt.

John Lawsom has had charge of this run, but wi!i give way for the return of "Old Re'able" to his first love. Saluda Cotton. za%da Standard. Our farmers who have cotton on hand seem not to be discouraged over the sudden drop in prices-they seem to think the government report wa b)ased partly on the ginners' re port, and rumor states that several ginners reported double the amount ginned.
