McGowan had a cow killed, and tho dwelling of Mr. Milton Grant wii3 struck, inlllcting lit tle dumago. Butteriek Patterns which arc fash ionable, reliable in all respects and tho ?? greatest convenience imaginablo to any ?no attempting the formidable task of dress making can now be obtained at Simmon's Pros. Congressman W. C. P. Brookonrldgo addressed a largo audience at Lexing ton on Saturday, opening his campaign for rolelection to Congress. The speoeh is spoken of as exceedingly elo quent, he shedding copious tears and bringing many others to boohoo with him. if he wins under tho circum stances then indeed charity is not a lost virtue. An entertainment will be g^ven at the Opera House Friday, 18th inst., for the benellt of the Episcopal church. Tableaux, statuary and a waiter drill by the children will bo somo of the features of tho affair. The public is cordially invited to attend. Those wdio go are suro of a delightful even ing. Admission for adults, twontyflvo cents; for children, ten conts. In an interesting discussion of wo man's sulTrage, tho theme just now ag itating society to an unprecedented ex tont, several prominent women will take ground pro aial eon, in consecu tive issues of Harper's Bazar. Mrs. Helen Barrett Montgomery, Mrs. C. A. Runkle, Mrs. Lyman Ahbottt, Miss Jeannetta Glider, and Mrs. Kate upson Clark, aro announced as writers on this subject, and their articles will ap pear during the month of May. Professor Suvastano, of Charleston, will give an exhibition of stereopticun views at tho Opera House, this, Tues day, ovenlng. Tho views will bo of Egypt and the Holy Land and will be well worth 800Ing, Professor Savastano having himself visited these countries and being a master artist in his line. The entertainment will be instructive as well as entertaining and will be a splendid thing for the children. The admission fee will he very reasonable, in reach of all purses. Mr. .1. P. Gray, of Imogeno Stock Parin, Gray Court, was in the city last week driving his beautiful animal, Capt. Wade. He is a stool Iron gray, perfect In symmetry, beautiful to look upon. But like the daughters of Da rius, (who, though the most beautiful women in the world, their beauty was their least virtue) Capt. Wade's glory consists in splendid action and glo rious speed. One of the attaches of The Advertiser will not forget a dash behind him, his accomplished mostorholdhig t he ribbons. Coxey's army is having a hard time In Washington. Coxey himself luxur iates on strawberries smothered in Jersey cream. Members of Congress wlno ttlld dlno him. His horses have an enviable pedigree. He is quite the rage and the mob of Washington gon tlemoil are hand In gloVO with him. it was .Lick Pal stall' who proposed to lead his rngamulllllS, with one shirt to the roglinont, where they would be well peppered. Thursday the 10th will bring South Carolina's' .Memorial Day. Anything elaborate In the way of an obsoi'VOneo of it is not usual and perhaps not pos sible in Laurens but it is ill befitting and shows a spirit of sad Ingratitude for the day to seem entirely forgotten. It would be beautiful and appropri ate for the places of business to close at live so that all and especially tho la.lies and children might gather in the Cemetery and place their lloral Offorlng upon the graves of our dead heroes or loved ones who have crossed the River. Salosday was a failure In respect to public salt's. 'This is not a sign of easy times, however: public sales are not in season. The crowd in attend ance, not largo, embraced a good sprinkle of aspirants to ofttco. THE Advertiserbospoaks for all of them a pleasant anil hopeful campaign. All cannot win, but bear in mind: "'Tis not in mortals to command suc cess, We'll do more, Sempronius, we'll dc ferve it."' We, tho undersi gnod merchants and business men of Laurons, S.

How to Tan Leather?Description of How the Work May be Cheaply Done at Home. Abbeville Preis and Banner. Ninoty Six, S. C, /fpril 22, 1894. Enclosed you will Hud a bit of alom tanncd leather. Tho process of pre paring it is sometimes callod glove tan ning, from tho fact that small skins are tanned this way for glovo making. Sumo persons, who have scon somo of the leather propared by Mr. J. Rhodes, who is living on my placo, have askod mo for a description, in detail, of tno way it is done. I havo thought it might prOTO interesting if not profita ble to the farmer readers of tho Press and Bauuor, to learn of a bettor way of disposing of their beef hides and sheep and goat skins than selling them at two cents and buying from the mer chants their necessary supply of leather at 40 or 50 ceuts per pound. Another reason for sending this to you for publication is that there was a man in the town of Ninety-Six last week trying to sell tho rights to uso this or a vory similar process at $5 each. There is nothing new in it. It is rather ancient for a patont. With this preface 1 will givo in as fow words as is consistent witlx boing understood the dotalls of tho proooss oy which tho leather was tanned from which tho piece onclosed was cut. All a farmer neods to muko a tanyard is a korosene barrel sawod in two tubs. Locate the yard under shelter, out of rain and sunshine. Begin with tho skin as soon OS taken from tho animal. It is more easily worked, but If you start oh' with a dry hide soak 111 water for about three days or until thoroughly soft and plia ble, remove all the bits'of flesh and fat from it and put into llmo or strong ashes and water sufficient to cover. As soon as tho hair becomes loose In about two days, romovo It all. I uso a common farm boo to scrapo tho hair oil* with, return the hido to tho ashes or lime and soak it two to four days longer to swoll tho hide, this loosens up the texture so it will readily take in the tanning substance. Next you want to get rid of tho limo or caustic potash loft in tho hido: to do this, soak It in the other one-half barrel in clean water, which keep up for four to six days changing the wator every day, or tie it to a weight and throw it In the branch. If you exneot to carry tho leather you will do better to keep it out of the sand of tho branch. Tho hido is now ready for tho tanning vat which is tho easiest and simplest part. Uso allum and common salt, allum ono part, salt two parte by woight. For calf, sheep or goat skin, one pound allum with two pounds of salt: for tho hido of a beef weighing 50 pounds to tho quarter it will take 5 pounds allum with 10 pounds of salt: spread t he hide out flesh side up, sprin kle the pulverized mixture of allum and salt on it, fold or roll it up with tho allum or salt inside, plaee in the vat with heavy weight on it, without wa ter, let it stand for six hours and if tho hide is not covered by fho solution com ing out of tho hido and water till it does, take it out every two days, fold it a different way and return to the vat. A small skin should remain in tan four to six days, a hide from one week to three weeks, according to size. When the leather is taken out of tan, comes the working part of the job. If you want soft pliable* leather, elbow grease is essantial just here. Begin as soon as it comes out dripping wet to beat with heavy sticks or frail it over the top of a stump for 15 or 20 minutes and repeat three or four times a day until it is ready for use. Do you ask what sort of oil? Don't use any vegetable oil, castor, linseed, olive, nor cotton seed. Beef-foot oil Is excellent, homo-made Jurd (I am afraid you haven't got it) mixed with kerosonse is good. How to ourry the loathor 1 do not know, but you will And, a way to get the rough off or you may know some ono skilled that' way. Brother Farmer, try this: you can with a box of copper rivets and burrs make all your plow and wagon harness at home that will, with care, last as well as store-bought ones made of loathcr at 40 or 50 cents per pound. In dressing shoop skins with tho wool on, of course, you do not soak in lime or ashes but carofullv remove all the Uesh and fat, and wash thoroughly with soap and water, thou sprinkle on one pound each of allum and salt pul verized, fold together accurately, the llesh sides and leave it so for three days. Do not weight it or cover it with water, nor beat it with sticks but rub often until dry, to keep it soft and suplo. "if you don't succeod try again." W. L. anderson. Hood's Cures. In saying that Hood's Sarsaparille cures, its proprietors make no i die or extravagant claim.
