A Happy New Year to you, Mr. Editor, and all of your read ears. I Tho year just closed has in many respects beena most re- , markable ono to many. Some have added riches to their al ready accumulated wealth, some j have not been so fortunate and havo been oalled upon to give up landa, homes and the saddest of all bavo 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 Bennetts ville. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas R. Wil liams, of the Boykin section, visited our community last Sat urday.

Mrs. Lindsey, widow of tho late John Odom, of Brights Ville, 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.

Tho graves of Walker Blaine and bio sister, Mrs. Alloc Stanwood Cop pincer, in Oak Hill cemetery, ure marked by plain monuments, says thc Washington Post, tho first a round-topped slab of marble, with out a lino of ornamentation except the Inscription. This rends: "Walker Blaine, born Augustu, Me., May 18, 1855. Died Washington, January 15, 1890." Tho grave of Mrs. Cop pinger is marked by "a Celtic cross about four feet high, Inscribed ns follows: "Alice Stanwood, daugh ter of James G. Dlaiuo und wife of Col. J. J. Copplnger, U. S. A. Born Augusta, Me., March 18, 1800. Died Washington, February 2, 1800. Erected by ber sorrowing husband." Over the grave of James G. Blaine there is neither monument nor in scription, save a small footstonc with the Initials: "J. G. B." At tho head of the grave stands a blasted treo,'which ls, In accordant with the dead statesman's wish, his only monument. The tree was u magnificent hickory, one of tho many of Its kind that livide the honors of j the hillside With the magnificent onkfj*.hrtTgivethuconii I iihthc.

Herc Walker Bini no was buried, and when, not long afterward, Mr. Blaine's daughter, Mrs. Coppingcr, died, bo bought tho adjoining lot, whore she was in terred. On this lot Ibero stood an old hickory tree. It bad been struck by lightning some yo.irs before and bad died at the lop, but it was trhiimed and revived, and now bids fair to reach as groon an old ago ns any other tree in thc cemetery. Mr. Blaine requested when bc bought tho second lot that this treo should never bo destroyed, and that on bis doa tb be should be buried beneath lt. A WISE TEXAN. Or, How a Capitol Guide Lost n Pos sible Big Fat Foe. A stranger from Texas sauntered Into the capitol mid fell into tho bands of a guide who offered to show him thc sights of tho building, says the Washington Post. "Good enough," quoth the Texan. "Boforo wc begin, let's talco a drink." Being of an accommodating na ture, tho guide consented, and the two quaffed a couple of quaffs right gayly. Tho guide's eyes bulged whop thc Texan drew from bis pock et a big fistful of bills in paying for tho liquor, and be scented a handsome foo. Ho led tho Texan all over tho building from tho crypt to tho dome, and into both bouses. Ho pointed out all thc celebrities, and then, by way of a wind up, took bis victim to statuary hull and placed hbo on one of Uio ??hi.qjunng stones. "Stay there," tho guido said, "till you boar me speak." Then tho guido disappeared In tho crowd to tho other stone. A lady was standing on it, and tho guido waited a moment fov ber to leave. The. Texan, who was gett ing uneasy, looked round, and not seeing tho .mide, sot to thinking. Just then bo .aw a young girl look at bim and ? 'He, and later two boys did tho :io. A great light suddenly broko rion bim. Instantly he left tho .?ono, and ns he disappeared from tho ball and started for tho big door, be muttered In thc hearing of a po liceman: "I may be from Texas, and somo green about city waj's; but I reckon Pm a leetle too wise to bo caught holding Ibo snipe bag again." And then bo and the guide's fat fee vanished together. THE BICYCLE. Appellations Glvon to tt by Those of Foreign ToogU.es. ' Here, says thc Courier des Eta's Unis, is an amusing linguistic con sultation on tho subject of the de nomination of tho velocipede in dif ferent languages. In French it was called celer?fero and vcloclfcre. Then came the words bicycle, bicyclette, vcloeo, and at last volo. The word bocanc, which bas also been glvon to it, is taken from thc Argot. Its etymology is unknown. It signifies simply machine. In Italian it is called vclocifcro, velocipede, and bicicletta. The same In Spanish. Tu Germanv lt ls fnrrad or simply . 'i. ju ' ni u L MI tiley say VHtbofi " Tho 1 t.H call iL some ?ii-, "gang?;:.," >\ b means "for cigii In rfto," mid m I in,..M "foi ebal," "Hying nmenme." They also call lt "t7.u tzu.n," "carriage-tbat gocs-without-horse." But thc palm must bcglven to the Flemish. In addi tion to tlie appellations, "snelwicl," "vootwiel," and so forth, some of tho wags on thc banks of thc Es caulthave baptized this winged con traption with tho centipede name: "Gowielsnelrijvoettrapp oudncus broUorgeatelltl" Many inorohants aro woll nwnro that their ccfttomera aro their best friends ned tako pleasure in supplying thom with tho host good- obtainable As an inntnnco wo mention Porry & Cameron, promit.ont dtug gists of Flushing, Michigan.

Note this difference also : The Fidel ity has $30.78 for each dellar it owes, while most ol the legal-reserve compa nies have less than $1.15 lor each dollar ot indebtedness. Whenever a universal epidemic, or other improbable condition, shall cause The Fi delity to make an assessment, ?ver? legal res? rve company will have already been swcjtt out of existence. Thc laws under which the legal reserve, or net valuation companies were organ ized, arc very crude and arbitrary. No new companies are organized under them, and the old companies have seen the dangers and have been trying to remedy the evils. They would get out of the clutches ol those "unwise and hasty" laws if they could. They are forced to charge cxhorbitant rates in order to suryive. Take the evidence of the legal-reserve representatives themselves. Richard A. iVlcCurdy, President ot the National Lile, one ol* thc oldest and strongest legal reserve companies, says: " The irrelevant theory ol net valua tions-has been absolutely adopted in our statute laws as a purely arbitrary test ol thc solvency ot thc companies, lt the saine principies were applied as a test ot solvency in mercantile business, they would put a stop lo the transactions of commerce in every one ol its depart ments." Chalton T. Lewis, counsel ol the Mu tual Lile, says: "limit upon mistaken assumptions, by lalse logic, it has become in its application a tangled mass ot prac tical absurdity, scarcely paralleled in any other branch of thc administration ol law. To determine the reserve upon a single policy is to repudiate science, and sutV*?SMi?,*U?iiiauon aim vpn.~i<ery. . David P. Fodder, a distinguished in SU rance man and the first President of the Actuariol Society of America, said : "The legislation which needlessly wrecked so many companies during thc last score of years was, in a large degree, the product of ignorance, haste and pas sion, and we should now endeavor to correct these mistakes ol tie past, lest they bear a Iresh crop of evils in the future." Thc Fidelity has avoided these "ab surd," "arbitrary" and dangeroucs tech nicalities by qualifying under the more recent laws. We do nothing sub rosa ; wc avoid no issue. We invite investigation and chal lenge comparison. Wc propose to give all who desire it the very best and satest insurance lor the least money practica ble. Respectlully, R, L. F REEM AN.
