October Days I The autumn days are growing shorter whilo the evenings grow longer apace. As the days grow ? shorter and cooler one realizes the s approach of cold weather and to v the careful home-maker there ^ comes a desire to fix stove pipes, fepi.ir old tire places and debute n the question of grates or heaters li for the winter. Winter clothes 11 are to be ovei looked and aired, to v get rid of moth ball perfumes and the sun shines pale in the late li afternoons, although the nights ^ are warm and summer clothes till ' the bill ns yet. But Jack Frost in () coming, nnd we welcome him. As t we look on the struggles of the I1 early months the anxiety, the t<?>I, the heat, the burdens of the time, .... u we rejoice in the goodness of the Father who gives us ease and rout, with bountiful autumn harvests Winter will shut us in, but the fireside wiil be cheerful and books V, and newspapers can be rend in <>. quiet We should thank God that Vie has remembered us in seed w time and harvest, and with the closing months of the year there is a promise of plenty in the laud, with 11 peace abroad among the nations t <bf the earth after a bitter war. Farm life is the only life which 1 "lays by," for with the approach f of winter, merchants, ImnkeiH, men 11 who build cities, whcf construct | \ and operate railways and steam- c 8hips, all take ou new life towards tlie close of the year, but tne far- j ' mer hurries to gather in his crops ] p" so that he may keep snug and j * * \ A Farmers' institute Car.

In the car about twenty varieties of corn will be exhibited logether with about thirty varieties of cotton, insects that are in- ; jurious to the fields and garden ^ rops will he shown. The car will also be fitted up with material to show the proper ! way of making grafts, pruning Fruit and shade trees and the best method of training grape vines. With these additional facilities, the institutes will be much more beneficial, and it is hoped that the Farmers hereabouts will at once take up the matter with Mr Harper and secure an institute for this township. A Prohibition Ticket. Already the prohibitionists of the State are casting about for suitable men to put in the field j next summer. A report from Columbia says that indications are that ' the prohibition executive xmitnittee will break out there it the fair week meeting with a Mate ticket with Joseph A. MeOulloiigh for governor ami Louis 1. Itrietow for lieutenant governor. \t the conference held in Columbia a few weeks ago both those j men opposed nominations being nude, but Wednesday's issue of 1 i... o .1 :i .U(l(llim 1 ll-BP, rilliru III V I tvood by Mi'. Bristow, noiniuites Mr. McCuIIou^Ij for yjovernir ami advocates putting out a ticket. It. is significant that the alitorial favors county control of the question. "Let us have a prohibition law, hut where it will not be enforced, let it not be a farce," says the cdi Lorial. "Where a majority of men ire willing to wiite their tinmen on ; i petition nuking for the privilege if selling whiskey, the best thinjrl lo do is to allow them to sell it. under stringent regulations."

Merritt, a :ew miles west of the city, was so jadly burned Thursday afternoon ibout 'J o'clock that it died of its njuries after live hours of terrible; uitTering, says the Kock llill ller- i ild. It is the same old story of he child bein^r left alone in the' louse. In this case the child was eft on a pallet by a fire in an open irepbire. while the other members >f the family were in a field near iv picking potion. The parents! if the elllM saw sin.ike issuing riiiu the house, but when tlioy eaclied the scene the child was | . I ready faintly burned.
