A capital show it was affording plenty of amusement. Kathryn Wobstor, tho star, E.

Tne music was good, especially the playing on pipes by Kathryn Wobstor and C. B. Fitts and the selection rendered with tennis rackets with bells attached. Contor tionists wore in evidenco also and gavo a fine exhibition. On tho whole A Breezy Time was an attraction which should havo drawn a full houso instead ot a pitiful seventy-five.

Mr. Holmes has felt for a good while that he ought to resume tho work of an evangelist, in which ho was successfully engaged when called to Greenville, and this impression has become so strong that ho was induced to tender his re signation, with the view of entering again upon evangelistio labors. The church doos not want to obstruct the evident inclination of their pastor, and yet thov aro loth to pirt with him, as he has rendored excellent scivico dnring tho few years ho has boon In churgo. Mr. Holmes is not only one of tho most popular preachers in tho city, but he is among tho ablest and most instructive In the pulpit, and his departuro from Greenvlllo will bo gonerally rogarded as a very great loss.

Hi Good Bicycle. Would You Accept A First Class High Grade Bicycle if it Were Offered You Free? The ADVERTISER will give a fine Bicycle to the boy or girl, man or woman or child who will bring in the largest list of subscribers be tween now and Fcbninry 1, 1896, 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 his own selection from their catalogue. The "Acme" Bicycles cost One Hundred, Ninety and Eighty five Dollars each. The winner makes his or her choice from the Catalogue, regardless of price. All you have to do is to get cash subscribers to The ADVERTISER. Any boy 01 girl can get subscribers. Any person young or old can get this fine bicycle by making a Kttle effort. A list of five 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 ami the money 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 either. The ADVER TISER will give at the end ol the contest, except to the winner of the bicycle, twenty-live 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. 1 STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County op Laurens. Court of Common Please. Jane E.
