Tho Orchestra and Club are now in fine form, and will probablv give another concert boforo the holidays. On Tuesday evening before Thanksgiving, llev. Dr. Jacobs de livered the third lecture of the col lege course of lectures, his subject being "What I saw in Europe."

Tho next lecture of the course will bo delivered by Itev. Dr. McPheetors,of the Colum bia Theological Seminary. His subject will bo "Apostolic Origin or Sanction the Ultimate Test of Canonicity." Dr. E, C. Frierson, of Anderson, has been visiting his brother, Prof, Frierson of tho Collego Faculty, during the past week. Dr. Frier son has been suffering from over work and has found Clinton an ex cellent place to recruit. Ho will return to his home to-day. Miss Birdie Austin visited frionds in Augusta tho latter part of last week and also saw tho city and tho exposition. She returned Monday via Laurens. Owens Bros. & Copcland and M. S.

Aunt Linva was a consistent Christian and had dovoted h?r long lifo to good deeds and many will riso up In the day of accounts and call her blessed. She was buried in tho Liborty Springs church by Itev. A. M. Hassen, and ft largo con course of relatives and friends joined in consigning the rcmnins of the dear old friend to tho grave. Dr. Wm.

It has been well nigh roall/.od in Ayer'a Sarsaparilla, which purifies the blood, gives vitality to all tho bodily functions, and thus restorea to age much of the vigor and fre ' ness ol youth. ' Children Cry fprJrT* We always try to1 iook on tne bright side of things, but short crops and the low price* of cotton have given us the blues. We are forced to ery out hard times!?Hard times 1 And worse are coming. A portion of one of the gable ends of the Woodville Academy fell last week. The building Is con crete and the fall Is supposed to have been caused by cold weather. We are informed that the dnmage lias been repaired. Our friend Lud Babb Is happy. He has another welcome little stranger In his household and ho will some day be a voter. We don't know, but we prophesy that ho will bo an antl-TIllmauite, anti Irbyite and antl-Shollite. We are informed that a petition has been "fixed up" by a few per sonal enemies for personal spite to remove Mr. L. II. Itoper as a trus tco of Sullivan Township and more especially of Rubun school. Tho board of examiners will certainly ignore this petition when they loam the facts, lor Laurons county has no trustee more impartial, faithful and attentive to duty than Mr. L. H. Itoper. Well, I guess "ono Felix" had better add a llttlo P. S. too. "Brother Bob" has got his "dander up." Anybody can soo that ho did chango his humorous familiar Bill Arp style when writing about this llttlo matter and that ho is as mad as an old wet hen. We do not think Brother Bob is so fully ac quainted with tho "mannorism" of Felix as to know his identity, if so ho would not have cut such a caper but probably tho truth hurts. Fe lix disclaims any intention of of fending Brother Bob, but only meant a littlo pleasantry, but as Brother Bob has got mad and seen tit to compare Felix to old Jack, tho "nigger," wo will just add that Jack was a protty shrewd darkey after all, and we havo often heard good critics say there was a simi larity in tho Bill Arp's and Brother Bob's composition, and now since Brother Bob has got his "dander" so' high about it, wo do believe there must be some truth in tho imitation. Bead Bill Arp, rumi nating, soliloquizing and philoso phizing and then let Brother Bob get to ruminating, soliloquizing and philosophizing and Felix "will pay for the whistle" if they don't rumi nate, soliloquize and philosophize through the same quill. This sim ilarity if original would indeed be a great compliment to Brother Bob, but there being some doubt about the originality, Felix com mitted a slight error in tendering tho compliment, but should have done so as Bill paid Br?l) tho com pliment at college. Bill.?"Hello Bob? What makes you part your halrytn the middle?" Bob.?"Thomas Jefferson parted his hair in theyiwiddle." -Jlill.?"Oh. yes, it is the nature of ul^WWyif to imitate their supe riors." Felix has got his "Irish up" by being likened to old Jack, the darkey, and thought it would be legitimate, fair and appropriate to liken Brother Bob to the next in species?the monkey. Wo do not expect to havo any more to say about this imitation business and if Brother Bob will not hit back too hard and will convince Felix that he can invent a panacea for all the wrongs and ills of tho poor tax payer and that ho will work for the interest of tho doar people mnfo^ujor .dear sej.f -AU^e the ma jority ot our noted Bclorme*rV;~J^fi^.. lix will take pleasure in nominat ing him for the next Legislature.

We understand that Misss Nan nio Boyd, of Laurens, is soon to be gin tho school at Poplar Springs. Tho patrons of that school are to be congratulated on securing tho services of one so well qualified for tho position us Miss Boyd.

Iglehart preached on "Common Schools and tho Commonwealth" at the Park A venue Methodist church, at Eighty sixth atreet and Park avenue. He said, among other things: The common school la a little re public In itself, whore the poor man's child and the rich man's child may stand on the same level and start out with even chances in the race for life. The cost of the dress or tho coat, the sizo or value of tho house out of which the children have come, the social standing of the parents, have nothing to do with tho estimates of the school room. Brains, application and be havior are the things on which the estimates aud grades aro made. There is such an aristocracy of true worth in our common schools as can be found nowhere elso on earth. Tho Immigration problem has been a perplexing one. Our freo schools have aided us greatly in solving it as well as wo have. It is wonderful to see how rapidly tho children of for eigners in odr schools learn our lan gungo and institutions, drink in our spirit, and how quickly Irish, German, French, Protestant, Catholic and Jew become Americans. Too few children profit by their educational advantages. Many do not go to school at all, and of those who do go, almost a majority finish their edu cation at ten or eleven years of age. Tako this city. From tho last printed report ?f the superintendent of schools, the one for 1890, wo tind that 96,000 at tended tho primary schools and only 55,000 tbo grammar schools. Almost half then of tho children entering tho schools at the bottom ilnish their edu cation at nine years of ago. Somo go out on tbo street to lives of idleness and vice. Somo go to work. Mere babes aro sent out into tho world to earn a few cents. Let tho children left to tho intuition of BCOUndrolisin bo taken off tho streets and sent to school. Let tho pule faced Uttlo boys and girls be taken out of the stores and shops and places of employ ment and properly educated. If a gen eration benumbed by ignorance, be seiten by vice and hardened by avarice does not recognise its duty to its off spring or its country, then should tho stuto reach out its strong arm and compel a payment of tho obligation. In many states laws for compulsory education have been passed, but In most of thom (nsuflloient means have been provided for their execution.? New York Tribune. a Man Is the age. of III? Arteri?s. While somo persons aro in full organic decadence .at Ihirty-llvo years, somo others may not yet at fifty years have undergone the modifications of nutrition which aro tho beginning of old age. The capacity of a man for violent ex ertion is determined by tho moro or less complete integrity of tho nrterinl tissues. In somo cases arterial sclerosis is nothing but the gradual and slow con sequences of tho advance of age, but assumes a rapid pneo that makes it a fearful malady. In such cases we can seo young persons presenting tho same physiological reactions against fntiguo as tho elderly man. One of tho first symptoms of that aeute aging of tho arteries which is called arterial sclerosis is tho dyspneoa of effort.
