A happy New Year to you, Mr. Editor, and all of your read ears. Tho year just olosed has in many respects been a most re markable one to inav. Some have added riches to their al? ready accumulated wealth, some have not been so fortunate anet havo been called upon to give up lands, homes and the saddest of all have been called upon to give up their loved ones. With many renewed obligations and better intentions we have begun the new year's work, and may peace and prosperity reign all over the land. We hope that the cry of war has ceased forever. Miss Mamie A. Hamilton will attend the Marlboro Graded School this session at Bonnetts villo. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas R. Wil liams, of the Boykin section, visited our community last Sat urday.

Mr. Rivers is a most ex cellent gentleman and we give him and his a warm welcome in our mist. Mr. Wilson Cottingham, of Ebenezer, has moved down to Mr. Jim Coxe's. We are surry ne has left us. Mrs. Sarah Odom has a nour ishing school at Ebenezer, and is giving entire satisfaction to all. There seems to be more in terest taken in the free schools at present than for many years heretofore. Mrs. Lindsey, widow of tho late John Odom, of Brightsville, breathed her last on Thurday morning last. She was a good woman, a professed christian for a number of years and lived to the ripe old age of four score years. Her children, grand children and great grand child ren will "rise up and call her blessed." She leaves a large family connection and a host of friends to mourn her loss.

He has made a #t impression and we sin coi hope that his labors of love prove beneficial both to j and people. Oin: no January C, 1896. l'oint* ot* W?Ml(<?UI. Homo nm! Farm. A wonk fence makes a weak farmer. An inch of sunshine is worth an ell of shade. A small manure heap makes a ?mall corn crib. Don't let the noon hour eat up Hie other ten. Kats in the crib give the teams pains in tho^ril s. Keep a cat for the rat, and the pig may get fat. An empty woodshed is tho sign of a poor dinner. If you work yourself thoso around you will work. A big farm sets too many chairs to flic renner (flblr Protect v.u> hirds auii tho Ifinlii Mt protect thc ? rc !. A broken win-low pain may brinn, the doctor gain. Ono fat cow is worth a poor coach and sorubby six. The gentle dew blesses, while tho cyclono distresses. A razor-back bog is a bad benst to ride to dinner on. A littlo salt on tho farm holps to put salt in the dish. A bright plow point is tho best min eral rod in existence. The com row will look straight if you look bobind you. Take caro of tho chips and you will nover bo without a lire. Littlo seeds make tall weeds, but tall weeds make short corn. A load of muck is worth a ton of malt, and costs less to got it. A dog is moro noisy than a pig, nnd ia not fit to eat wben ho is fat. "All flesh is grass/' says Holy Writ; than grass for flesh is sorely fit.

Tho graves of Walker Maine and da sister, Mrs. Alloc Stanwood Cop linger, In OnU Hill cemetery, are narked by plain monuments, says be Washington Post, tho llrst a wind-topped ?'ab of marble, w!tu rnt a Uno of ornamentation except bo Inscription. This reads: "Walker Haine, born Augusta, Me., May 18, 855. Died Washington, January 5, 1890." Tho grave of Mrs. Cop )lngor is marked by "a Celtio cross diout four foot higli, inscribed as ollows: "Alice Stanwood, (laugh er of James G. Dial no and wife of 3ol. J. J. Copplngcr, U. S. A. Born Yugusta, Me., March 18, 18G0. Died Washington, February 2, 1800. Srccted by her sorrowing husband." Over tho grave of Jamos G.

On this lot there stood an "lld hickory tree. It had been struck L>y lightning some years before and liad died at the top, but lt was trimmed and revived, and now bids fair to reach as green an old age as lily other tree in the cemetery. Mr. Blaine requested when he bought tho second lot that this trco should lever be. destroyed, and that on bis kath bo should be buried beneath it. A WISE TEXAN. Dr, How n Capitol Guide Lost n Pos? slblo Big Fat Foe. A stranger from Texas sauntered Into thc capitol and fell into tho hands of a guido who offered to show bim thc sights of the building, says tho Washington Post. "Good enough," quoth the Texan. "Before we begin, let's take adrink." Being of an accommodating na ture, the guido consented, and the two quaffed a couple of quaffs right ufayly. Tho guide's eyes bulged when the Texan drew from his pock et a big fistful of bills in paying for tho liquor, and be scented a handsome foo. Ho led thc. Texan all over tho building from tho crypt to tho dome, and Into both houses. Ho pointed out all thc celebrities, and Iben, by way of a wind up, took bis victim to statuary hall and placed him on ono ut ibo v.hiapuringstones. "Stay there," tho guido said, "till you bear me speak." Then tho guido disappeared in tho crowd to the other stoue. A lady was standing on it, and tho guide wai tod a moment for ber to leave. Tho Texan, who was getting uneasy, looked round, and not seeing tho ruido, set to thinking. Just then bo . aw a young girl look at him and . ule, and later two boys did thc no. A great light suddenly broko rion him. Instantly be left tho done, and as bc disappeared from I lie hall and started for tho big door, lie muttered in the hcariug of a po liceman: "I may be from Texas, and some af reen about city ways; but I reckon I'm a leotlc too wise to bo caught ?olding the snipe bog again." And then ho and tho guide's fat fee vanished together. THE BICYCLE. Appellations Glvon to lt by Those of Foreign Tongues. V.. Hero, says tho Courier dos Etats Unis, is an amusing lingutstio cou *ul tatton on tho subject of the de nomination of tho velocipede In dif ferent languages. ' In French it kvas called celer?fero and velocifcre. H ion came tho words bicycle, lieycletto, veloco, and at last volo. The word becane, which has also )ecn given to it, is taken from thc Argot. Its etymology is unknown. It signifies simply machine. In Italian it is called vcloclfcro, velocipede, and biciclctt a. The same in Spanish. Tn Germany it ls forrad or simply njtdj just hs it '.. sh thc./ say "wb.'( |." The Chii call il. .some I : ; "gan^i,:..' y li means "for ;MI llorac,' and Hotline!? "fei ?hal," "Hying maeiime." They also jail lt "tzu tzun," "carriage-that joes-without-horse." But the palm mist begiven to thc Flemish. In addi son to tho appellations, "snolwiel," "vootwiol," and so forth, some of ,ho wags on the banks of tho Es lault hav? baptized this winged eon? .raption with tho centipedo nanie: 'Gowiolsnelnjvoettrapp cudncus )rekcrgeotelll!"

" Chalton T. Lewis, counsel of the Mu ual Life, says: "Built upon mistaken issumptions, by false logic, it has become n its application a tangled mass ol prac ical absurdity, scarcely paralleled in tny other branch of the administration il law.

Thc Fidelity has avoided these "ab ;urd," "arbitrary" and dangcroucs tech localities by qualifying under the more recent laws, We do nothing sub rosa ; we avoid no ssuc.
