•. The “Terry & Shaffer” sewing machine is a high grade article. We guarantee this to be true. But you ask why do agents ask $40, $50 and $60 for high grade machines while you only ask 18, 20 and $25? Your question is a natural one. It is this way. The tactory which makes the “T & S” machine has no expensive agents on the road. They want us to aid them in putting their machines direct to the people at a fraction . over cost of manufacture. Come in, examine the machines and prove to your own. satisfaction that the above is “straight goods.” Don’t take our word for it, Come and see for yourself.

Joe Kinard fhas commenced his atore which is to berl50 feet by 40 feet We will now have three hust ling merchants in onr town. They will do about one hundred and fifty thousand dollar business; fifty thous and each. Mr Kinard will also sell horses and males. The fourth hustler in onr town, is “Little Frank,” you can hear the hum of his saw from daylight until dark. I think his entire business will amount to about sixty thousand. No doubt some will think too much for snob a small place as Ashton, but we have the oonntry to back it Our fifth hustler who lives near by, Is our jolly friend, M J T P” who wiH make some body hustle for the sheriff’s office next time. Another hustler who lives on the edge of town, is “Joe T.” who keeps kit mules so fiat that he has to brace the collars to keep them from slipping through.

To our Friends and Customers: We regret our insbility to occupy our Large Brick Store now under construc tion at Walterboro, by Jan 1, as origi nally contemplated. This unavoidable delay has to some extent disorganized onr plans; however it is onr purpose to regularly start business therein at the earliest possible moment, which we trust will not be later than Feb 1. We mention this fact with the hope that onr Friends and Customers, as well as those who may become snob, will post pone making definite arrangements for the Nsw Year until we have had a chance to figure with them, as we be lieve onr facilities for handling their business unparalleled. We have some thing good to tell them, bnt can not say it here, if interested in good things call on or write onr president, Mr Paul Sanders; we think that will show good bn si ness judgment on their part, he may say something confidentially which would prove very advantageons.

The tall of a comet is not formed of the aame particles which composed It yesterday or even an boor or a moment ago. It Is constantly being renewed at the expense of the nucleus. As the long stream of black smoke from the neigh boring factory or mill Is being continu ally renewed by fresh particles of car bon released by the combustkn going on in the furnace below, so Is the won derful luminous train of cometacy .bod ies being constantly replenlabed by particles flying from or rather driven from the nucleus by the intense heat of theeun. b Then, again, bow infinitely small and bow intensely luminous must these par ticles that go to make up tba tall of a comae Del This thought la auggasted by the fact that it haa been proved that In some cases the nucleus of comets which are only a few hundred miles * diame ter will have enonnooa fadUke tails stretching across spies for a distance exceeding 200,0001000 miles aat having a talk exceeding that of the sun by more than 10,000 ttasst Why J.

Dannelly & Co. formation of a comet's tail by “suppos ing'’ thus ^“Suppose, for example, that the nucleus of a comet Is composed of Ice. Then suppose the heat of the sun to be so intense as to rapidly melt that portion of the ice globe exposed to the Action of Its rays v which are strong enough to immediately convert it Into vapor, which ascends toward the sun. "Imagine now a fierce wind blowing out from the sun, causing the vapor which meets it to be whirled out Into ■pace behind the comet This will f clearly illustrate the theory qf the for mation of a comet’s tail, only that the nucleus of the comet Is not ice and the vapor Is not water vapor, neither Is the force which drives it away from the Bun a fierce wind.” The unknown force hinted at by the Astronomer above quoted readily ex plains why a comet's tall, as a rule, points In an opposite direction to the sun. The Russian astronomer Bredle- chen distinguishes three different types of cometary tails—those composed of particles having the specific gravity of hydrogen, those having the specific gravity of hydrocarbon gas and a third class having all the peculiarities of an equal mixture of hydrogen and iron vapor.
