As towns people we should favor our town above every other as the growth and development of it is what will enhance the value of all property both in and about it. Then buy your dry goods, gro ceries, hardware, furniture, etc., at home; have your printing, your blacksmithing, your shoe* making done at home; patronize your home in every instance that you can. The success of our merchants and mechanics means new business houses and resi dences, additional demands for labor of various kinds.

The total amount of taxes for the fiscal year 1906 ia $3,584,362.? 06, being $900,611.98 more than in 1902, the last assessment, and $344,849.22 more than 1905, and $1,269,088.29 more than in 1880. The tuxes for 1906 are divided as follows: For State $1,247, 072.11, for County, $1,182,584.52, for locul county $65,334.52, and for schools $748,603.53, ' and for local schools, $323,267.67. In ad dition to schools must be added $200,522.00 poM taxes, and $50, 734.50 capitation dog tux. Total taxes for schools $1,823,027.49. The total tax levies through out the State except local levies, average 12.8 mills to the county, the largest being in Union and Pickens counties, 17.33 and 16.18 mills respectively, and lowest in Charleston and Kichland coun ties, 10 and 10| respectively . This is a pot of money, but even if taxes do come high, it seems that we must have them, and in the eyes of some people, it seems that the more of them we have, the better for the country. Firat Cremation In Amorica. The Baltimore Sun Almanac for 1907, gives among other in teresting facts, the information that the first person to be cre mated in this country, was a Colonel Henry Laurens of South Carolina. In his will, he left the following directions as to the disposition of his body, which we are informed were strictly carried out: "I solemnly enjoin it upon my son as an indispensablo duty, that as soon as he conveniently can after my decease, he causo, my body to be w yapped in 12 yards of tow cloth and burned until it be entirely consumed. " We are not informed that the cremation of the body was fol lowed by the scattering of the ashes to the four winds of heaven, and don't suppose they were. Tow cloth and human ashes, it doesn't seem to us would mix well, but these re mains may yet be preserved with the proper inscription on the urn containing them. Endorsed By The County, "The most popular remedy in Ot sego County, and the heat friend of my family, writes Win. M. Dietz, editor and publisher of the Otsego Journal, Gilbertsville, N. Y., "Is Dr. King's New Discovery. It has proved to be an infallible cure for cotnrhs and colda, making snort work ot the worst of them.

The %most popular at t ract ion it zeroed to us was "Princess Flora," the palinist, and fortune toller. Her tent was crowded nightly, and a large number, in cluding Ourselves, had a lot of good things told us. As one re sult of oar seance with her, we have ascertained positively wnen we are going to die. Ac cording to our horoscope, we are going to inflict our presence upon the people on this mundane sphere 83 years longer, which is long enough in all conscience. ! To Heaven and b?cJt In 24 Hour?. Marion, Ohio, Jan. 81. For more than twenty-four hours doctors were unable to revive Miss Bertha Dickerson, au Espy vilie school-teacher, who went into a trance Tuesday night at the revival services at the Wes ley M. E. Church Miss Dicker son declared that she had been to Heaven. She said that she realized all that was going on, bdt that she was powerless to move an eyelash. Mrs. Eva Thomas, of this city, also went into a trance, but was revived in a few hours. She, too, claimed to have made a celestial journey. " Your Life Current. ?The power that gives yotl life and motion is the nerve force, or nerve fluid, located in the nerve cells of the brain, and sent out through the aerves to the various organs. If you are tired, nervous, irritable, cannot sleep ; have headache, feel stuffy, dull and melancholy, or have neuralgia, rheumatism, backache, peri odical pains, indigestion, dys epsia, stomach trouble, or the idneys and liver are inactive, your life-current is weak. Power-producing fuel is need ed ; something to increase nerve energy ? strengthen the nerves. Dr. Miles' Restorative Ner vine is the fuel you need. It feeds the nerves, produces nerve force, and restores vitality. "When I bcgall taking Dr. Miles" Restorative Nervine ana Anti-Pain Pills X was confined - to my bed. V had severe nervous spells, the result of two years illness with malaria. I gradually grew so weak that I was unable to sit up. The snclls would commence with cold chills, snd I would beoomo weak and almost help less. My circulation ? was , poor. I had doctored right -Montr but stow weaker and weaker..

Don't make a point of always agreeing with the speaker. Don't harp too long on one at ring. Don't affect a stilted style.'' After discussing these prohibitions to talkers at some length the writer con cludes: "Ktlll.lt must be confessed that there are people who are constitutional ly Incapablc -?f following out these rules,* and who, In spite of all their violations, are Interesting people. They hnve nstlve strength and make their own rules of aelf expression. They are the stuff out of which novelist* make character-Im personations.
