Laurens has lost one of her best citizens and the State a devoted intelligent patriot.?

The Advertiser will (jive a tine Bicycle to the boy or girl, man or woman or child who will bring in the largest list of subscribers* be tween now and February i, 1S96, the cash to accompany the subscrip tion. Is an "Acme" Machine made by the Acme Cycle Company, Oi? Elkhart, Indiana. The Winner of the Machine may make ?Iiis own selection from their catalogue. The "Acme" Bicycles cost One Hundred, Ninety and Eighty live Dollars each. The winner makes his or her choice from the Catalogue, regardless of price. ?f. t?rn QMmtmt* All you have to do is to get casli subscribers to The Advertiser. Any boy 01 girl can get subscribers. Any person young or old can get this fine bicycle by making a little effort. A list of live subscribers may win it. If a lady wins the bicycle she may get a ladies' wheel. Or she may get a gentleman's wheel and sell it if she prefers. It is a good plan to begin work at once. As soon as you get a subscriber send in his name and the monc) so that the paper may be promptly sent to him. State that you are a con testant for the bicycle and an accurate list will be kept of all the names you send. Two half year or four three months subscribers will be counted in the contest as one. No Loss Possible. Not Even of Time. "If I don't get the largest list I shall have had my trouble for nothing" you say. No you won't cither. The ADVER TISER will give at the end of the contest, except to the winner of the bicycle, twenty-five cents for each subscriber sent in by a contestant. So if you get forty subscribers you may win the bicycle. If you don't you get ten dollars anyhow. No person in any way connected with The ADVERTISER will be allowed to enter the contest. Don't lose a minute. Begin at once. Who gets the "jump" has a big advantage. Bargains! Bargains!

October 2Sth 1895. Eating Bedclothes. -<?. ~a "Insects generally must lead happy lives. Think what it must be to live in a lily. Imag ine a palace of ivory and pearl with pillars of silver and cov ering of gold, and all giving out such a perfume as never arose from human censer. Fancy again the fun of tuck ing one's self up for the night in the folds of a rose, rocked to sleep by gentle sighs ot sum mer air, nothing to do when you awake but to wash your self in a drop of dew and fall to eating your bed clothes for breakfast." From these Rose-leaf Beds is distilled the esquisite "Extract of White Rose" than which (when carefully made) there is no more delightful or delicate perfume. We have some White Rose .that we arc proud of. It comes in bulk at 50 cents an omit??in glass stoppered bottles at 25. 50, 75, 100 and $1.25. We of course have all the other leading ex tracts such as Violet, Crab Ap ple, Jockey Club, White Lilac, Heliotrope, Etc., in cut glass bottles with handsome stop pers, or the same quality of goods in plain bottle for those who do not care for fancy ones. Should you prefer Colognes to Extracts we have it?some of it good, some of it poor according as you buy for quality or quantity. Will you have a smell ? The Lit 111*0118 Drug Co. Laukbns, S. C, Oct.
