Mr. Nabors was born 6n the 4th of April 1812 and was therefore past eighty-one years old. Ho leaves a large family of sons and daughters, one of the latter being Mrs. Austin Bramlett of this city.

Tho doath of Mr. .lames Hell which occurred during the Christnian holi days removes from life a citizen who was useful and valuable to his county and State.

Aftor tho war, ho found himsolf broken in fortuno and burdened with dobt but ho was a man never known to fail to meot an obligation financial or otherwise. So with his accustomed de termination ho again went to work, paid his debts and lived to accumulate! u comfortable estate. Mr. Bei' was one of the most popular men in the county, lie was for several terms chairman of the board of county commissioners. In '1)2 he ran for the Legislature, not because he wanted the ofllco, but because he believed it was his duty as a citizen in the political emergency which then confronted the State. Mr. Boll was a member and elder of tho Rocky Springs Presbyterian Church. The Sea Board Air Lino. Parties going East or West will do well to write or seo J. N. Wright, Laurens, S. c.

Mr. 15. G. Sitgreaves will have charge of the mercantile business here. Mr. Sitgreaves is quite popular in Lau rens and very general regret is ex pressedat his leaving. Out* Graded Schools. Every progressive town and city in these days has a sys tern of graded schools, supported us a rule by a spec ial tax, The taxpayeas of this city contribute six mills on the dollar for our schools, that is to say four-mil Is in addition to the regular two mills State levy for school purposes. There is tho poll tax which every man pays besides. Therefore the man who pays taxes on $5000 worth of property pays about thirty-one dollars for the schools. This burden falls on evorybody who pays taxes and any person who will take tho trouble to look around him for a moment will discover at a glance who pays the bulk of tho public school expenses. All this is exactly as it should he and we bollevo that it is directly to tho ad vantage of the property owners of tho town to cheerfully vote this tax in order to encourage a population of thrifty intelligent people to livo in Laurens. Without graded schools a mechanic with four children to keep ut school 'Would 1)0 ut a Yearly' exponsc of. say twenty dollurs, in tuition feos. Heretofore our schools have charged a fee of two dollars a year for each pu pil, but it has boon impossible to keep the schools open for nine months. At the beginning of the present session one dollar of this feo was collected as us ual but the second dollar has not been collected und will not bo. In order, however, to maintain the schools for nine months it has been found neces sary to charge a small monthly tuition fee, twenty-live cents for tho two low est grades, lifty for the next throe and seventy-live for the four highest, but these fees will be charged for only four months, possibly live, if we un derstand the arrangement. When it is remembered that one-half of tho two dollars is not collected this year, it will bo seen thai tho tuition is prac tically a very small amount. Just such a system of tuition fees has been found necessary in nearly all the graded schools of tho State and in most eases it is higher than in Laurens. If it can bo found that one cent of the nubile school monies is expended unwisely, unnecessarily or extrava gantly and that the schools can be run cheaper than they are being run, then there will be good reason to complain at the tuition foes. Tho facts are though that we have a board of trus tees composed of sensible and compe tent business men who are managing the schools with tho greatest economy consistent with eftlolohoy and they rec ognize tho necessity of theso mouthy charges. The Advertiser believes that our system of free schools is the most val uable nubile possession of our town and that nine-tenths of the poorer class of our citizens as well as the largo tax payers on whom tho load really falls will agree with us in this view. ,,. . If there, is any poor man in this town with children to educate who thinks it advisable to abolish the graded schools THE ADVERTISER would like to hear from him. There are taxpayers in Laurens who pay perhaps a hundred dollars for tho education of other people's children. They are not complaining. Bnrksilnle. LaCrippo has grabbed every family in town. So no one can stir to create nows. Hov. J. B. Farrott's eldest son, Ben, is critically ill with pneumonia. Efforts have been made to establish a now post oflieo at tho new depot named, Jacks, but failed. Our very etllcient postmastor, Mr. J. W. Shock ley has had tho olliee at Barksdulo for twenty odd years, serving in tho most acceptable manner, and It is but justice that he should still retain the office, as he lacks many voars of being too old to faithfully fulfill his duties. Mrs. Lucy Anderson, of Arkansas, after an absence of fourteen years, spent a part of Xmas with her brother. Mr. A. C. Watson. The schools in this district opened the new year under tho most favora ble auspices. The one at "Yoargln's Academy" has thirty-two enrolled with more to come. Wo think we may safe ly boast of more schools than any dis trict in the county. We have three with an enrollment of over thirty and under the guidance of efficient expe rienced teachers. Mrs. BrySon and littlo Nannie have roturned and assumed duties after a pleasant visit to Woodruff. The Commlttoo for Improvements will meet at Warrior Crook Church t he 14th, to mako arrangements to win money from grim "hard'tlmos." Much moving among tenants, and many yet without hands.

The young ladies and gentlemen soem to enjoy the pleasant sport and exercise, as well as somcoldor persons. Wo notice a correspondent in tho Greenville News waiting from Fork Shoals declares that'the -Dispensary is the greatest blessing that the Tillman party has given t^o country. Now, this may bo very true, and If true, we pray good Lord doliver us framallsuoh blessings. Magister. Popular Everywhere. Heginning with d small local sale in a retail drug store, tho business of Hood's Sarsaparilla has steadily In creased until there is scarcely a village or hamlet in tho United States where it is unknown. To-d:iy Hood's Sarsaparilla stands at the head in tho medicine world, ad mired in prosperity and envied in merit by thousauds of would-be com petitors. It has a larger sale than any other medicine before the American public, and probably greater than all other sarsaparilla and blood purifiers combined. Such sucoss proves merit. I f you are sick, is it not the medicine for you to try? H00d,8 Sarsaparilla Cures.

As "Bum'' has been using the paint brush for tho last few days, ho hasn't any news of importance for this issue: but, by tho way we are here again. We hud tho pleasure of attending the entertainment at Ora on the 28th ult., which was much enjoyed by all present. Then again Monday night, tho 1st. inst. we had a nice sociable in the same hall. Craig's balding. There's nothing short about Ora it seems. Ab Shell, the well known and skill ful painter has given our town a neat and stylish dross, which is vory be coming. Mr. F. M. Leopard now has a lino big mule. Ho says "it can come near as a pea to crawling through an augor hole."' Mr. Frank Sumerel has moved to Babhtown settlement and Mr. Bu/.by is now our next door neighbor. No use in talking Babbtown now possossos a "grass puller." but our loss is Babb town's gain. It seems that our school teacher has a great tleal of business up about Dur bon to attend to. Wo think perhaps .wo will have tho opportunity soon to note a matrimonial occurrence. Mr. Ellison has charge of the Joshua Burns placo. Owens Academy has changed its name according to its growth and cul ture to the Alleine High School. There were a few typographical oY rors in our last notes which WO think deserve correction: using tho title JainOS Monroe, instead of Joe Monroe, and J. D. Miller, when it should have been J. D. Mills. Our health is very good with the ex ception of a few cases of the grip. We wonder If SlooumGilson wouldn't prolong the time of the fishing party till noxt Xtnas as the time is so short.
