CLEM SON’S PRESIDENT. Rev. Ifaiiry 8. Harttog, a Brainy, I'rogren- •Ive EnarKottc Young Man Putin Charge. (»he Htate.) Calhoun, Sept. 16.—The llev. Henry S. Hartzog, principal of the Johnston High school, was elected president of Clemson college. He is about 33 years of age and was for a few years engaged in the Bap tist ministry. He is a native of Barnwell county, and went as a cadet to the South Carolina Mili tary academy from that county. He has been engaged in teaching tor the past few years. An Excited Bridegroom. A rather amusing incident oe cui red the other day on a street car while crossing from the west to the east side, says the Portland Oregonian. There was a prospec tive bridegroom on the car, and he had just been across the river to the county clerk’s office to get a . license and was returning, accom panied by a friend, who had gone with him to certify that the bride was ot sufficient age to get married without the consent of her parents. It may bo said that the age of the bridegroom was 70, and that of his bride about 65, so there was no danger of the witnesses getting into trouble. On the car the bridegroom put his hand into his pocket to pay for both fares, and he was so dust rated over his approacuing happiness that he aid not look to see what he handed the conductor, when, in Jact, he had given him a nickel and a $5 gold piece. The conduc- for did not even look at the money, but passed to the front platform, where a Chinaman was standing. The Chinaman handed him a 10- cent piece, and the conductor gave hi© the $5, thinking he was giv ing a nickel in change. The Chinaman pocketed the money without saying anything. The bridegroom made the discovery the next day.—Ex. $ j Our School*!. The teachers and pupils of the city graded echools complete to day th**ir firet week’s work.

The outlook ie for a year of splen did work. “Cigarette” is a broad term, ac cording to the definition set down in the anti-cigarette bill now slumbering (presumably) in a houss committee of the M issouri Legislature. The measure states that the technical term “cigarette” shall be deemed to include all preparations of tobacco soaked in nicotine or impregnated with opium, or stramonium, or bella- dona, or alcoholic liquor, or va lerian, or tonka bean, or mellolo- ties, or any other deleterious or poisonous substance.—Ex. A practical woman remarked thd other day that the interesting things in a newspaper to her are the advertising columns. “And long ago,” said she, “I quit buying of those who do not advertise. It always seems to me that the mer chant who advertises, invites me to trade with him, while the one who does not advertise impresses me with the idea that he doesn’t care enough for my trade and is too stingy to ask me for it. Then, too, I know that the merchant who advertises has fresher goods for the reason, I suppose, he sells more, and a stingy man can't al ways be trusted.” Thu little of Peculiar, iu Cass County, Missouri, got iis name in rather a curious manner. Its founders got into a controver sy over what they should christen it, and finally they referred the matter to the postoflice depart ment, saying they didn’t care what name was given the place as long as it was peculiar. One of the Washington officials then, in a spirit of waggery, named it ac cordingly. An Irishman who died in the early part of this century under took to test the devotiop of Jus friends and acquaintances by mak ing out a list of 400 of theif; who were requested by written invita tion to attend his funeral, which was to be held one cold winter morning at the parish church. Only 29 persons appeared. When his will was opened, it was found that, having no natural heirs, he ordered his fortune to be divided among the persons who attended his fuu- eral.

The Kansas City packers have broken their record for the first six months of the year- They killed during that period 1,585,000 hogs, 412,000 cattle and 470,000 sheep, which figures indicate an increased slaughter of 357,000 hogs, 43,000 cattle and 106,000 sheep over the first half of 1896. This enlargement is said to be the result of an increased supply of live stock in the Kansas City ter ritory and extensions of trade.
