A Wonderful Clock. Mr. G. Alexander is a genius, and always has some novel and pretty at traction at his jewelry store. His last and most wonderful is a clock. This clock is incased in a most beau tiful piece of workmanship, represent ing a Swiss mountain cottage ,of Dothic architecture. Surrounding the house is a neat fence inclosing a Bower garden, and in the garden are vines and shrubbery against the house. All is beautifully executed. The work was done with a small scroll saw. The material used is mahoga ny, and is fifteen inches in height, ten inches wide, and four and a half inches deep. Mr. Alexander resided several years in Switzerland, and says it is an exact imitation of the Swiss cottage. In this case is a small, one-day, le ver-movement dlock, which not only strikes the hours of the day, but also the half hours. Connected with the works of the clock is a music box, and every time the clock strikes (every half hour) this music box plays one of four pop ular airs. Mr. Alexander conceived the idea of connecting this music box with the running works of the clock, and originated a very simple connec tion between them. The clock is on exhibition at his store, and Mr. Alexander will take pleasure in exhibiting. 'The cuckoo clock is also stil en ex hibition. In this clock a cuckoo ev ery hour comes out and announces the hour of the d3ay, and also soun is ne note evryr half hour, CAPTURED BY THE INDIANS. An Interesting Story of the Life of Mrs. Polly Floyd. Brea'Lrt, March 12.-Mrs. Polly Floyd, of Douglass township, wife of Mr. Morris H. Floyd, died on vester day, at an advanced old age. This old lady bad an eventful history. When in her teens, she with her parents moved from this vicinity to the State of Alabama. At this time she was engaged to be married to Mr. Floyd, but it appears her parents objected. Nevertheless, within a short time after her arrival at their new home, she se cretly left her parents, and journeyed on foot, unaided and alone, back to South Carolina, occupying more than a year on the way. A few weeks after her arrival here she was happily mar ried to the lover of her choice. In comi to South Carolina she was captured by the Cherokee In dians, then occupying lands in Ala bama, and lived with them in the fain ily of the "medicine man" more than three months, when she was released by United States soldiers who remov ed the Indians by force to their res ervation by virtue of a treaty had with them. She claimed to have learned their art of compounding herbs, and prac ticed it among her neighbors. She was an oracle on dreams, charms, and witchcraft. She never had any chil dren, and leaves an aged husband to mourn her loss, to whom I extend my sympathy. We are having too much rain, and planting is much behind in conse quence. Bad roads in abundance. Money scarce and getting scarcer. S.us.. Not Killed. We stated last week that Mr. Fur man Jenkinson, of Panola, had been attacked about sunset, in the woods near his home, by a big negro, who threw him down, with the intent of robbery or murder, or possibly of both, and that young Jenkinson had succeeded in throwing off the negro, and had cut him on the shoulder with a razor, upon which the aegro beat a precipitate retreat. So much of it was true. But last Tuesday a rumor reached town that the negro had been found dead in the woods, the next morning after the cutting. We stated the rumor, but at the same time said we would rot vouch for its correctness. We have since been informed that no dead ne gro has been discovered in that neigh borhood. It is presumed the cut was not fatal, and the negro has escaped. It was a narrow and fortunate escape for Mr. Jenkinson. CONsUMPTION SURELY CURED. To 'z Enrron-Please inform your read ers that I have a positive remedy for the above named disease. By its timely use thousands of hopeless cases have bNzn per manently cured. I shall be glad to send two bottles of my remedy rnEE to any of your diers who have consumption it they 'ill send me their express and post olie address. Rlespectfully, T. A. SLOCUMJ. M. C.. 181 Pearl st., N. Y (Reported for the Tnzs.] Colored Presbyterians 'm Council. Wednesday, the 13th was the beginning of a new era ini the history of Presbyterian. ism in Manning, and we might say in the county of Clarendon. Although during the past tifteen years many colored Presbyteri an churches have been organized and nin istered to in the neighborimg eounties, yet there were no churches organized in Clar endon until a few years ago. Three differ ent ministers attempted to build in Man ning, one staying here as long as three years. Every effort, however, seemed to prove a failure until the present pastor Rev. A. E. Torrenee came. He has, since a short stay here, been instrumental in building a church valued at about (or will be when finished) fifteen hundred dollars. The Presbytery of Fairfield et its last meeting. chocse Mt. Carmel church. Manning, S. C., for the next place of meeting. On the night of the 13st Fairfield Presbytery opened its session. Rev. M. G. Johnson, of Celumbia. preached the sermon. The text selected was "Render unto God the things that belong to God." The sermon was a good model, showing from its clear divisions, simple words, and logical consistency, what a pow-. er the colored man is for God and the good of his people when his talents are improved and used in the right way. Despite the rain which fell in heavy showers there was a largo audience each day, and a large amount of business was dispatched. There were popular meetings each night: Thurs day night, woman's work; -Friday night, missions. Each of these topics were ably discussed by three speakers each night. Friday morning's opening session brought about much anxiety on the part of many, for it was at this session that one was to be honored by the Presbytery as a delegate to the Northern General Assembly, which meets in New Yor.k city. Although there were many seeming aspirants our Manning parson Rev. A. EI. Torrence was chosen by a large vote. The Presbytery ad journed to meet at Winnsboro, 13th of Sept. The Lord's supper was celebrated on Sab bath. The sermon was preached by Rev. James Rainey, of R~ock Hill. A HUNDRED TONS OF MONEY. It hardly seems possible that the morey paid in one month for a ten-cent article, could, if pennies were used in payment, wihoneh undred tons. Yet one of our bigh school boys has figured that this is true of D:amnond Dyes. To judge from the stocks of our dealers in dye stuffs, Diamond Dyes own the field of package dyes, and are a omplete success. Of course they have imitators. ~"Notaing is a success until im itated."' But no one wants to risk a coun terfeit when- th'e genuine can be obtained at! the same price. Three new colors have lately been added to the list of Diamond Dyes: Fast Stocking Black, Turkey Ried! for Cotton, and Brzown for Cotton. The manufacturers, Wells, Richardson & Co., Burlington, Vt., will send colored samples of these new dyes, with book of directions, to any address, free of charge. These ad. ditions seem to have madec the line so comn leie that any shade can be matched with some color ot Diamond Dyes. 'The beauti ful sample book of shaded colors, lately sent to all dealersin dyes, will delight the eye of any La dy. "It's easyv to dye with Di..mond Dyes." is so absolutely 'rue that home dyeing is no longer a difficult and disagreable tak Anmnacs, wiuth their hints as to pora~'r times for ditferent work, Iteli us tint now is the tilme for Spring dre in. This, together with the thought of that hundred tons of' mone , leads us to ask what schoo.l boy can fignre hiow mny thous ans of' ladies are now saving the.t. this is the time to use DiamondI De. AP kinds of fresh garden seeds for sale a. Foreston2, at Dr. Nettles's drug COTTON AND CORN Better to Plant Corn, but the Farmers Will Stick to Cot ton. Witsoxs, Mai ch 18.-I notice in a recent issue of the Tners your article giving us farmers some good advice. I endorse every word in that paper. You ought to let that matter come out every week: it is so good and true that it will bear many repetitions. But now, Mr. Editor, will we prac tice it? Won't we jog along in those same old ruts: all cotton, no corn, no meat? Oh, but don't we love cotton! You bet he's king. It would be all right if we did not require the king to do so much. He fills his own place to a T, but the trouble is we not only require him to clothe us, but we want hini to feed us. He can't do it; it's too much of one article. Now the king will object if we impose on him. But we should have more considera tion for him, and help him all we can; and there are so many ways we can take this responsibility away from him. Well, let us name a few: Plant corn, work it as well as we do cotton, don't neglect it, deal fairly with it, and it will do much for us. Fact is, if we do right by him, he will give us meat as well as bread. Let us not forget the potato crop, the iice, the pea, and the sugar cane. If we will give attention to this we will soon quit eating our cotton up before it's planted. But my neighbor ought to do these, but as for me I must make cotton if the heavens fall. J. Wrights Bluff News. SoDrxn', Mar. 16.-The Eutaw ville railroad will probably reach D. Levi's store about. June 1st. A depot will be located there. The bridge is completed, and the trestle is being rapidly built. Farmers are backward, on account of the rainy weather. No corn planted yet. Oats, however, are look ing fine, and give promise of a large yield. The roads are in a bad condition, aldiost impassable. County Commis sioner Way has been through this section, and appointed road overseers; but on account of wet weather these overseers have not yet been able to call out the hands. The Wilson road will soon reach Sumerton, the trestle across Taw Caw being nearly completed. Farmers are using as much or more guano this year than heretofore. Our people are buoyant and ex pect a good crop and a plenty of money this fall. J. H. K. Buy your rent and supply liens, bille of sale, and other low blanks at the MaxxL'G TirE office. Lowest prices.

Distress after eating,sick head ache, heartburn, sour stomach, mental depres sion, etc., are caused by this very common and increasing disease. Hood's Sarsaparinlatones the stomach, creates an appetite, promotes healthy digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the mind, and cures the most obstinate cases of dys pepsin. Read the folotting: "I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had but little appetite, and what I did eat distressed me, or did me little good. In an hour after eating I would experience a faintness or tired, all-gno feeling, as though I had not eaten atything. Hood's Sarsaparilla did me an immense amenas of good. It gave me an appetite, and my foo relished andsatand the csaving I had previously experienced. It relieved me of that faint, tired, a-gone feeling. I have felt so much better since I took Hood's Sarsaparilla, that I am happy to recommend it." 0. A. PaoE, Watertown, Mass. N. B.
