He was very ill for several days but we learn that he is now improving. The weather in the West caused a great amount of suffering last week. In Minne sota the thermometer marked as low as 25 degrees below zero. Mr. B. R. Gibson has a hog 'which he raised on his place that is believed will weigh 1,000 pounds gross. Can any farm er in the county beat it. One of Clarendons representatives has carried his lamb skin into the legislature ball with him. It was a novel idea, but nevertheless a comfortable one.

SWe ere glad to see that some of our mer -echants are employing salesladies. They make good clerks and the employment of thegp has a tendency to elevate these asso ciated with them.

See. me before you buy. 500 lbs Evaporated apples very pretty and white 10c prl.o 3 lbs for 25c. - prbo The town was completely captured last Monday by commercial drummers. Nearly every line in the mercantile business was represented and nearly every fellow sold some goods. Some enterprising person should build a house convenient to the business portion for traveling men to show their sanples. Such a building is in great demand every day at this season of the year. The number of tax delinquents is said to be about 900, but of this number some are double entries and others are entitled to abatements. As soon as the auditor gets through making his roan-is the executions will be placed in the hands of the sheriff. A gentleman brought 'is the news of a man's death last Monday and after express ing our thanks to him for the news and our regrets that another had shaken off this mortal coil, he went out. In a few minutes he came back 'very much excited and in formed- us that his dead friend was still alive. Of course we had to scratch out we had written and take back what we had said. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Setzer have been extremely ill; the former was not expected to live and members of the family living . in other States were sent for. Mrs. Setzer is better and the old.gentleman is slightly improving. Their daughter, Mrs. .ilary Frasier; of North Carolina, is with them. Mr. H. L. Setzer, of Florida, after spend ing a few days returned home. Mr. I. M. Loryea, now representing the Armour Packing Company, has been in town for the past few days combining basi ness with pleasure. He is a whole-souled genial fellow, and we are always glad to get a grasp of his hand. Mr. Loryea say s that he is delighted with his present posi tion, and when his friends visit Charleston he wants it distinctly understood "the pleasure is mine." Senator B. B. Tillman has sent seids to a large number of his constituents in this county. The seeds were sent to people ir respective of faction, which caused some surprise among those of the opposite fac tion. One fellow remarked that "old Ben is not such a bad fellow after all, and he is the first Senator that has thought enough of me to send me seed. The other Sena tors always sent them to some of the big guns." Governor Ellerbe has appointed the fol lowing magistrates for Clarendon. st. Paul, A. J. Rlichbourg; Paicksville. J. F. Richbourg; Seioc, J.) P. Turbeville; Pine wood, A. P. Rtagin. TIhe name of 1Rich bourg seems to be quite a favorite in this county if the nunmber of ofliciais bearing h e name is any indication. The delega tion vwere not uaanimous in their rccomu mnendation for Ute Manuning tuagistrate au-l as a conseque~nce the Governor did not Clarendon County farmers are in a bet ter financial condition now than they have been at the beginning of a year since the war. Nearly every farm has its barn full of corn and the sinokehouze tull of meat, and ruany farmers have a sctlicient quanti tv of moiasses of their own manufacture to do their families and some to s-:11. We mention this gratifving fact because we retnetubtr that but a short time ag. it was a comnion sight to see wagons loaded down with corn and bacon passing from the rairoad depot on to the farm throuuh the e.tire county. At that time no one was surprised but regarded it as a matter of course. To-day, however, it occasions considerable talk when a farni wagon is seen with sacks of western corn upon it. The mortgaged inde-btedness is growing snaaller each year and the records will Ahow that more mortgages on farus have been marked "satistied' in the past two years than any five previous years. With such a showing, the farmers of Clarendon have every reason to congratu lite themselves and it should encourage them to continue to improve their financial condition. THERE IS NOTHING SO GOOD. There is nothing just as good as Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, so demand it and do not permit the dealer to sell you substitute. He will not claim there is anything b-:tter, but in order to make more protit he may claim something else to be just as good.

He Becomes a Knight Templar and Tells a Bible Story with Variations. Rome, Ga., January 1.-A few nights ago the Rev. Sanm P. Jones was initiated into the mysteries of a Knight Temipler. A special train was sent to Cartersville to convey him to this city, and he entered the hall at the Masonic temple dressed in a grayish cavalry suit, with a gray cap perched on his grizzly head. He had very little to say to those who greeted hinm at the entrance of the hall, and looked as if he expected trouble. Of course what transpired within the closed doors was not revealed to the uninitiated, but many remarks were made by the outsiders concern ing the handling of the great exhort ter by the Knights, who had been excoriated so frequently by the sar castic tongue of the most picturesque orator that Georgia has produced. About an hour and a half elapsed arnd then the Knights trooped into the banquet hall, their swords jingling and epaulcts flashing in the electric light,~the Rev. Sam Jones, in charge Eminent Commander John J- Seay, reading the van- The assembled Knights addressed him as "Zerub babel." As plain Sam Jonesg he had entered the mystic portals with a deiant air and a smile of mild sar casm on his lips. He emerged from the ceremonial chamber with a be draggled look, his hair dishevelled, a sword dangiiug at his heels and a quizzical monkey and parrot smile playing about his features. 'The most Eminent Grand Com mabder, Bill Fleming, of Augusta, who succeeded Judge Black as Con gressman irom Tom Watson's Pop ulistic domain, wa~s on hand, and the Grand Generalissimo, A. Walton, who received an honorary brevet of Colonel since he left the West .and settied in Georgia, sat on the left of Zerubbabel Jones, his expansive face beaming with delight from the last notch of his double chain around to the mape of his neck Thue banquet proceeded, and for hafan hour- the jongle of the knives and forks kept time to the desultory assembled Knights, all of whom casi 'furtive g'ances fiom time to time in t. e diie tion of Ztr'b'bel-as i; to assure themselves thit lie had not made his escape. At last the Emi. 'lPut CL wmander arwse and in a most app ved style cal!ed for "a shor. Is '.U nu or njewly ob-:igated fia Zerubbabel arose verv ,1eliberatetv stragihtened himself, cast a reproach' ;'al giance over the assemblage and, setting his jaws firmly, began to ad dr'ess them. After a few general re umaks on the beautiful tenets cf the great order of which he had been miae a nember he proceeded to tell a scry, suggested by his recent ex pi-rieaces. He said: "When old Daniel refused to com ply wish the demands of his enemies they began to threaten him with dire uunishment. 'Look here, old fellow, if you don't obey the orders of the King we'll fling you into the lion's den,' they said, but they couldn't scare old Daniel. He realized that he had to chose between going to hell if he didn't do right and being tlung into the lion's der, if he did. He was in a pretty bad predicamant, I can tell you, but he didn't hesitate long. He told them that he was go ing to do just as he had been doing, and that be didn't care a cent whether their old King liked it or not. So they Yanked old Daniel up and they took him to the lion's den, and they pitched him into it heels over head and they said: 'Now, old fellow, we've settled with von.' "But Daniel was not dismayed, and soon made himself at home with the lion-,. He gave them to understand that he was some lion himself. The lions finished gnawing their bones and began to stretch themselves out for a nap. The old he lion lay down in a nice clean place and looked at Daniel as much as to say: 'Here, Daniel, you come lie down here and put your head on my shaggy mane for a pillow." Daniel did so, and the lions soon fell asleep, and all was quiet and peaceful as Daniel lay there with his head pillowed on the lion's inane." The'audience sat breathless while the speaker's face assumed a quizzical look, as if he was recalling his recent experierces. "As he lay there looking up to ward the mouth of the den old Dan iel, no doubt, thought of the choice he had made, and how lucky he had been in following the dictates of his own conscience, and with a sigh of satisfaction he exclaimed: ' "Well, this beats hell!' The roar of applause that went up from the assembled Knights shook the temple. The banquet continued until the Eminent Commander re minded the revellers that it was time to put the finishing touches on Zerub babel, and they retired to the inner chamber. Whether the Rev. Samuel Jones found in the rest of the exer cises some other things or not nobody knows except possibly those who are bound under those blood-curdling oaths to eternal secrecy.-Ex. Not a few who read what Mr. Robert Rowls, of Holland, Va., has to say below, will re-nrember their own experience under like circumstances. "Last winter I had la grippe which left me in a lcw state of health. Itried numerous remedies, none of which did me any good, until I was induced to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The first bottle of it sc far relieved me that I was enabled to at tend to my work and the second bottle ef. feted a cure." For sale at 25 and 50 centh per bottle by R. B. Loryea, the druggist.
