Our community was shocked Sunday morning, Nov. 21th. to learn that Mrs. John G. Law, wifoof the devoted and bolovod pastor of tho Presbyterian Church in Ocala, had died shortly af ter midnight Saturday The surprise was all tho greater that while some few know she was sufforing from nervous troubles, the general public was not aware of her sickness. Her funoral too* place Monday af ternoon and tho sermon was pronohed by Rev. Dr. McCorklo of Maitlaud, former pastor of the Ocala Presbyte rian Church. It wus just such words of comfort and consolation as a good and dlvlno man Is lit to oxpross on such a sorrowful oc sion.

' Two vory important facts in connoc- j tlon with tho new oraof magazlnos aro illustrated in the Docembor Cosmopol itan. Its fiction is by Stovcnson, tho last story writton before his death. "Outda," Sarah Grand, Zangwill, ana tho beginning of James Lane Allen's now Kentucky realistic story, "Butter flies." Probably no stronger array of fiction has over boen presented in any magazino?monoy could not buy better. Nor has any magazine over had a lar ger number of roally distinguished ar tists engaged upon tho illustration of a Single number. The reador might bo puzzled to know how such a number can bo made at tho price of ten cents. But tho magazine itself affords tho so lution It contains 139 pages of adver tising, which, as tho publishers an nounce, is from $4000 to $8000 moro net advertising than was over before ited in any magazine, of any kind, any country. It, breaks tho , rocord in tho publishing busl Moreovor, the cost of tho artists .?Jhors who appear in this number llvided amongst 100,000 copies, bringing tho cost per copy proportion ately low. Tho Cosmopolitan thinks that tho ton cent magazine, bringing, as it does, tho host In art and litorature Into all classes, is an educational movement second In importance only to that of the public schools.

The follow log clipping Is from the Boston Journal of Commerce, one of the most reliable authorities on manu facturing in this country: A OREAT SUCCESS IN LOW-COST STEAM. - The Corliss Steam Engine Co., Prov idence, has recently put a new steam plant into the Berkeley Co.'s cotton mill, Berkeley, R. I., that is causing much attention among steam users, and Is probably running more econom ically than any mill plant in this coun try at 125 pounds pressure. A very caroful test has been made of this plant by Mr. Dean, of the firm of Dean & Main, mechanical engineers and steam experts, of Boston, and it produced power at a cost of 1 4-10 pounds of coal {or horse power and .evaporated 2 68-100 pounds of water per horse E>wor. This test was made by Mr. oan, who has made many similar ones in the most careful manner, and the result obtained is correct. This, as far as we are able to learn, is one of, and wo believe tho beat showing that has ever been made in this country. Tho Berkeley Co.'s mill contains 50,000 spindles', so It will be seen this ex trom?ly low cost was not obtained from a small steam plant. The Corliss Co. has great reason to be congratulated on tho above succoss. Tho btcam plaht of the Laurens Cot ton Mills is im exact duplicate of this one put In for the Berkeley Co.'s Mills. Tho l .aureus plant is furnished by the samo company and in every respect the two plants are alike. Therefore the steam plant of tho Laurens Mills will be run oheapor than that of any other in America, tho Berkeley Mills plant alone excepted. The ostimatc for other mills is never less than two pounds of coal per horso pdwor and this now and improved plant will consequently save as compared with others' about 33? por cent in fuel. Of course t hut is an immense saving. Tho fact is that the Laurens Mill is to bo ouo of the most modern and sub stantial of all tho new.mills in con struction and equipment and at the samo tlmo remarkably economical ?in every particular. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO THE MEMORY OF MR. JNO. D. BYRD. The Bethany Presbyterian Sunday School pays the following tribute to the rr emory of one of its deceased members: John Downs Byrd died on the 11th of November, 1895, aged twenty-four years. Ho who holds in his hand the keys of tho Kingdom of Heaven bade our young friend and brother enter upon the higher and wider field of service re served for those who behold the face of the King in hie beauty. But though re moved from the service of earth, when the strength and beauty of his young manhood were just reaching their full maturity, the comforting influences of young Christian life remain behind to inspire those who knew him in life to emulate his Christian example. Seldom have we been called upon to mourn the departure of one so universally beloved. Our church ban lost one of its moat ex emplary members and our Sunday school a most punctual atteudant and faithful Secretary. A void is left which will indeed be hard to fill; for his life from boyhood up to manhood had borne tn? frtiii? of sincere piety, both in the inner circle of his home and in his daily intercourse with all with whom he came in contact? a loving and devoted son and brother, upon whom his loved ones leaned for guidance and support. In all these spheres the memory of JOHN DOWNS BYRD will linger as a sweet fragranco, because into them all he car ried the love and spirit of Christ and filled the brief yoars of his earthly ca reer with a pure and spotless life; and while a deep sense of personal loss weighs upon the heart of tho writer of this brief memorial from whom has been taken a tried friend and an efficient co ?orker in the good Master's cause, and while our prayer rises daily to the God of all comfort in behalf of the stricken and rgrely bereaved family, yet the thought comes to us with unspeakable comfort that only tho good and pure are prepared to die; and after all it is not utrunge th.it our dear Lord should come quickly and tako those who are ready for an entrance into Iho home that he lniB prepared for those who love Him. While standing around his grave and hearing the deep heart-Bobs of his loved ones, I could but realize how truthfully, "Ho giveth His beloved sleep." "Oh blessed sleep that will not wake For tears, nor prayers, nor love's sweet sake. O perfect rest that knows no pain. No throb, no thrill of heart or brain. O. life sublime beyond all speech, That only the pure thro' dying reaob. God understands, and Ills ways are right. Bid His beloved a long good night." J. P. S. Huntington, Laurens Co. About a Laurens Boy* General Charles Edward Hooker, the mo?*, distinguished of Missis sippi's living military heroes, is in Atlanta to day. den. Hooker is not an ofheer "by birth," but the empty sleeve that hangs by his side proclaims that he won his ti tle In the days when brave men plucked honors from the red hand of fratricidal war. The story behind General Hook er's loss of an arm as told by him self, is this: "it occurred during Grant's siege of Vlcksburg in '63," said he: "I was in command of artil lory and my battery Was on a steep hill on the lino of fortification be fore the city. While watching the fight one day my servant came up and showed 'me a spent ball that had struck him. It occurred to me that I ought not to expose a faith ful negro, and I ordered him to take my tent and place it in the ravine, where our horses and wagons were corralled, about fifty yards to the rear. The next morning, Friday It was. my lieutenant was killed, and while we wore burying him, the Union forces opened up a heavy cannonading. My servant enme up with my horse, and as he stood holding the rein for me, a solid shot came by and took off my arm and another at the same in stant took off the negro's head. It was a bad move for both of us" con cluded the general/ General Hooker is u candidate for tho United States senate, and although an advocate of the free coinage of silver he claims to boa loyal party man. "I have said in all my speeches," said he, "and I say it again if the democratic party in its national convention adopts what is commonly known as the sound money platform, I shall sup port-its candidates. I believe In the rule of the majority, and If the ma jority want the gold standard I will go with them. I havo been asked in 8ovcral placos, where I have spok en, and that has always been my answer." General Hooker was called to Memphis on business and came by Atlanta to see the exposition. He will remain several days, staying at tho Klmball.?Atlanta Journal. DECEMBER DAYS.

And every taxpayer is required to give tho number of their school district. After the 20th day of February next fifty per cent, penalty will bo attached for failures to make returns. In every community thero are persons who cannot read or that do not take a newspaper.

Tho assessing and collecting taxes is all done in tho sumo year, and wo have to aggregate tho number and value of all horses, mules, cattle and other pieces of personalty, as well as the acres of land, lots and buildings and their value, that thero is In the County, and bavo tho same on file in Comptroller General's olllco by the 30th day of Juno of each year, and from that time to the first day of October the Auditor and Treasurer's duplicate have to be completed and an abstraot of tho work in the Comptroller's office by that time, which will show at a glance that tho Auditor has no time to tako roturns or nnvthing eleo much be tween the 1st day of March and tho 1st day of October but work on tho hooka and the blanks. We hope thereloro that all taxpayers will mako their re turns in time. JOHN R. FIN LEY, Auditor.

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 February i, iS(j6, the cash to accompany the subscrip tion. Is an "Acme" Machine made by the Acme Cycle Company, o, 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. teiMtoi @f. Hit ?Mti^U 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 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 an<l 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 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 1 don't get the largest list I shall have had my trouble for nothing" yon say. No you won't either. The Adver tiser will give at the end ot 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 subset 'lburs you may win the bicycle. If you don't you get ten dollars anyhow. No person in any way connected with The ADVERTISER will In allowed to enter the contest. Don't lose a minute. Begin at once. Who gets the "jump" has a big advantage. NOTICE ?TO? Tax Payers. Treasu r e It' s ? kpic 1., Laurhns C. H.,S.C, Sept. 26th, 1895.
