In memory of Alfred Eugene Ander-

missed in thedomcwtlc circle—that ac
tive form, cheerful voice all still in
death—but bis spirit is with Him

the consolation that tbe loved one la on
the other side of the blissful shore—
beckoning them on to heaven.

duly J9t.ii aged 75 years.
She was for the greater part of her
life a member of Joyou Branch church.
Her meek, consistent Christian lift ex
erted a beneficial influence on ail with
whom she held intercourse. She was
loved by all who knew her, and has lelt
to her childreu a legacy far more valu
able than gold or sliver—a pure Chris
tian example. Thfl sorrows of earth
have been exchanged for the joys of
beavea. Her last end was peaceful and
she has entered into the rest that re-

age.
Our brother was a faithful member

His health had been on the decline
for some months, and as his end drew
near he expressed his willingness to
depart and be with Christ. Another
seat vacant at Cypress Chapel, but one
more occupied in the-church trium

< Crimson Clover.
Last week Tux Pkoplx published an
article concerning this new forage and
fertilizing crop. We find the follow
ing advertisement of W. P. Addison, of
Greenville, In the Mountaineer, and
give it free insertion:
Our sales of this clpver more than
trebled that of the year before and it
has created favorable comment from
every section whery it has been tried.
From our own knowledge we consider
it of inestimable *value as a good fall,
winter and spring pasture—a most nu
tritious food for cattle and horses, a
great enrkher of the soil. It is of vig
orous growth—stools largely. As to
its feeding valuJ*, a writer of prom
inence says of it: “I would sooner
have one ton of Crimson Clover Hay
for feed than one and a half tons of Red
Clover ^or Timothy.” Another says:
“I would rather have one crop of
Crimson Clover to turn under than two
crops of pea vine*.’’ A careful and
practical writer, Professor W. ¥. Mas
sey, of the North Carolina Experiment
Station says in a late letter: “One of
our breeders of blood horses here has
found that Crimson Clover, now so
largely used here can be graced bard
all winter without detriment, even by
close bitingiiorsc, and' a full crop ^of
bay mown in April.
Sow between first ef August and first
of November. Give it a trial and you
will be pleased. •
Catarrh Cannot Be Cnred
with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease, and
n order to cure it you .must take in
ternal remedies. Hail’i Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine.
It was' prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years,
and is a regular prescription. It is
composed of the best tonics known,
combined with tbe best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two in-

erful results in curing Catarrh. Send

fish keep better, and are better to eat;
and the best fishermen in Europe anCI
America always kill their fish as soon
as they catch them, by A blow on the
back of tbe head.
A pig’s tall-is said to unerringly in
dicate the condition of the animal.
If it hangs loose, it shows that the pig
not well, and that ita food should be
Changed. If it is coiled tightly, the
pig is healthy and happy.
MnsqnitoOs and Rats.-<-If a bottle of
oil of pennyroyal is left uncorked in
a room at night, not a mosquito or any
other bloodsucker will be found there
in the morning. Mix potash with
cornmeal and throw it into the rat
holea of a cellar or barn, snd the rat
will seek new quarters, if a rat or
mouse gnaws a hole into your pantry,
stuff into its bole a rag. vi ct first wlib
water, then sprinkled with cayenne
pepper, and no rat or mouse will molest
again. ' '; —- .
Counties
have so long extan
patronage to
BROWN’S CORNER,
aa best headquarters for purchase of all
Merchandise, and sale of all country
produce. To them and to tbe general
public I beg to express my sincere be-
ief that better days than we have
known since the outbreak of tbe war
between the States are just dawnlngou
us. The buainets experience of thirty-
five active years has taught me to look
ahead and-I am sure that I an. notmia-
taken in making this prophecy.
So strong is my confidence that 1
have during my recent long visit to the
loading Northern cities secured the
Grandest Stock of General Merchandise
that I have ever handled or that any
merchant has ever brought to South
Carolina. I’erhaps 1 may have over
bought, but 1 think not, for I found that
the Panic had held Northern manufac
turers and wholesalers by the throat
more cruelly than it had laid hands on
the farmers of our State. They had to
sell. 1 bought. And the proofs that 1
was fortunate crowd my store rooms
and ware houses and invite by their va
riety, excellence and cheapness the pat
ronage of all who wisely want all that
they can get for their money, cotton or
other produce. Out of this vanishing
panic have come these sound new re
quirements of business that producers
and consumers must get nearer togeth
er and that the day of high prices ia
gone forever. Acting on those princi
ples! have bought from first hands In
all lines and taken advantage of every
fair opportunity that my preseace and
cash down put within my reach. I un
derstand this reconstruction of our
business methods and accept it, and ex
pect and intend by,increasing the range
and quantity of sales In all lines of mer
chandise to take modest care of myself
snd to put good heart and hope into
The people by giving them more good*
and better goods for their money than
thiy ever dreamed of getting.
Without attempting to catalogue the
attractions that 1 have secured i beg,
by way of suggestion, to ask the atten'
tion of the Ladies to the opportunity
offered them of buying in comfortable
leisure at home all that they need to
make them happy in heart and hand
some in the eyes of men at
PIN-MONEY PRICES.
Dress Goods in latest and loveliest
Fabrics. Ready Made Jackets, Cloaks,
Skirts, Underwear. Dainty and Sub
stantial Shoes and Slippers, Trim
mings of ill kinds, and. In short,every
thing that they desire and deservei and
life is too short to enumerate all.
SUPERB CLOTHING.
Mjr stock of clothing Is sO Wide
ranged that the largest man and the
small boy cab be fitted aa welt aa with
tailor made garments, only tbe best
goods and workmanship were used in
their manufacture, and prices are too
cheap to be told in print. For men and
boys 1 have an ample stock of dress
and business shoes. I have gathered
tbe best from tbe leading Inanufactii
rers of tbe Eastern and Western States
and can suit every taste and give tbe
fullest satisfaction. ■Special attention
is asked to the goods of the Bay State
Shoe and Leather Company, the most
durable made, and so cheaply priced
that they will almost go off without
words.
I offer underwear that will defy
winter winds and summer heats, hats,
gloves and evefy thing needful for
health and comfort.
For Furniture. Hardware, Buggiea,
Harness, Saddles and everything re
quired by bouse hoidert, fh town or
country, I offeradvantages that can ndt
be equalled South of Mason abd Dix
on’s Line.
In Groceries I have tbe best grades
of all goods, bought in wholesflie quart*
titles snd to be sold as they were pur
chased, at bed rock prices for ca«h.
My heavy stock must be unloaded, and
