After a magnanimous silence 1 agaia bow to the dear readers of the Advertiser. The last few days have been bright and beautiful and the sound of plough boys Is heard upon field. Farmers are making rapid pro gress in preparing the soil for 1896. Sowing oats seems to be the order of the day. Farmers as a rule in this section are In a much better condition than we have ever heretofore witnessed. In every crib we find more than plenty of com, and upon my. word smoke houses (or meat houses] are again fashionable, here we find Carolina hams. Therefore every household can gladly use an absolute expres sion, "Hog and hominy at home." Burnsvllle has some stock as fine as you will find any where. "Un cjALen" has recently purchased a daisy pair of mules. Also Master Carl Leopard has a new horse of which he Is very proud. Mr. J. C. Burns, of your city, af ter recovering from the measles Is spending a few days with bis pa rents. Photographers have taken every thing In thin community. We would bo pleased to know whether or not they have taken "Slocum GUson" from the banks of Long Branch. We learn that there will be a Hot Supper given at the residence of Mr. T. B. Simpson on theeve vingor the 14th inst. Proceeds are for tho benefit of Warrior Creek church. B:\rksdale and Barnsvllle have united and organized a minstrel. Here we see the use of an Opera house. It Is with much sadness that we chronicle the lamentable death of our young friend, Albert Martin, who died at his home on the morn ing of the 26th inst. Albert was In the bloom of manhood and was loved by all who knew him, ue was sick only a few days when Qod In "ills unsearchable wisdom" called him from this world of sin and pain to Canan's happy shore. Bereaved ones, weep not, as those that have no hope. Albert is not dead, but sleepeth. "The Lord gave and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord. Bum Blinker. The Proper Tlmo When the most benefit Is to be derived from a good medicine is oarly in the year. This is the sea son when the tired body, weakened organs and nervous system yearn for a building-up medicine like Hood's Sarsaparille. Many wait for tho open spring weather, and in fact , delay giving attention to their physical condition so long that a long siege of sickness Is in evitable. To rid the system of the impurities accumulated during the winter season, to purify the blood and to invigorate the whole sys tem, there is nothing equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla. Don't put it off, but take Hood's Sarsaparilla now. It will do you good. Read the testimonials published in be half of Hood's Sarsaparilla, all from reliable, grateful people. They tell the story.

The people and the trustees should know that for every child they fail to get enrolled in the pub lic schools of a school district, du ring the present public school term, that school district will lose $3 on its next year's apportionment of public funds. So every ellbrt should be made to secure a full enrollment of all the children within the school age. Is a teacher fully equipped for his work who does not take and read his county papers? Is it pos sible for a teacher to do good work who docs not make special prepara tion on each lesson previous to rec itation? Is it not likely that teach ers who do not avail themselves of every opportunity for improve ment in the-aft of teaching will be driven to lollow some occupation of which they are more conversant? Persons teaching, who do not hold a certificate, or permit, from the County Hoard, need not present their pay warrants to the Commis sioner for his approval until they ob tain such certificate or permit.? Teachers should secure the Com missioner's approval of their war rants as soon alter they are issued by the trustees as they conveniently can. Will the constitutional,increase of the Public School Fund have a ten- , dency to increase the demand for better teachers, or will it increase the number of incompetent persons aspiring to teach? Is the maxim, "As is the teacher, so is the school," not an axiom? Nonnc pncceplor nascitur, non lit? After the present term Holmcs's Rentier will he used exclusively in the public schools, and teachers should adopt that book in their school whenever new classes are formed. English Grammar Doubtless o'.)c of the most diffi cult subjects that faces a live leach* cr i3 English Grammar. Other branch .'S of study can be and oft?n ate made interesting and therefore profitable. Arithmetic is perhaps oftencr mado interesting than any other branch o| study. A certain inherent attraotivenoss scenn to cling to figures, bo that if a child is widely started and judiciously man aged, its interest rarely flags. Little to s like a pencil and slate and a I wiso teacher seldom has any difli cully with larger pupils. Geography anil history, if rif-hily presented, usually awaken a lively interest. Independent questions in gtogrnphv and leotures in history rarely fail to make those subjects attractive for the more advanced pupil.-. Cities and rivers in geog raphy, and men and monuments in j history aro ahvay s lb? snmrt. Hat i r.uch oannot bo said of English grammar. A word inono sentenco i3 a noun ; in tho next a vorb. Many words aro cither prepositions, con junctions, or adverl)8. Ton fct.it:: inents can bo nuvle in grammar to which there are not glaring excep tions. A rulu in arithmetic, facts in geograph/ and history, do not have exceptions; and children, ?9 they advance in those studies, come to have confidence in themselves. They know they aro right. They feel that they can back up their statements with facts and rules which can't bo disputed. Many children finding few euch plain rules or statements in grammar, have thrown up the whole subject in disgust. On account, of age, a careless teacher, or an ill-arranged text book, they have become puz* z'ed, and aro prepared to believe o io thing in grammar as soon as another. They have me1, so many exceptions to plain rules that they reasonably doubt whether grammar bo a soienco or not. Of coime many children find grammar r.o such riddle. They have been started early and wisely guide j. Still I fear many teachers and mure pu pilt find the study to bo about as difficult as described. Now the first thing to be done is for tho teacher to get a clear and nccurato knowledge of the subject. It is not a difficult subject for ma ture minds, though it puzzles be ginners. Tho next thing U for the pupil to acquire an elementary knowledge of the different parts of sp< ech. After an elementary knowl edge has been obtained, in which none or at least few exceptions aro noticed, lot tho pupil take a page or less of his reading or history lesson and point out all tho noun?, or prepositions, or verb?. After that th i pupils are able to select the different parts t,f speech. In this way the pa pi Is learn by practice the ordinary roles and are prepared to Understand tho various exceptions as they appear. The text book recitation should in no wise be neglected, but should be el arly enforced by examples and exceptions the reading lesson may bring out. Hut as in arithmetic more time is given (o lh9 practice of rules than (o the Study of rulos, so in, gram mar more lime should ho spent in exorcise than In learning of mere statements. Of courso tho text book should bo wisely soleclel and its instruction followed, though not blindly. Tho teacher who simply hears recitations day after day even from a good text book is touching very little grammar. No text book on any subj"ct should bo blindly followed by any teacher?though it should rarely if ever be altered or disputed. A teacher should bo able to present tho subject of English, or any othor subject ho profeseosto tcaoh, not only ai the text book doe?, but also as it applies to his ot her own educated common sens:?. To do this the teacher will have t:> stUdy closely and make his state ment accurate. After tho teacher hats made a careful study of Eng-' lihfc and his or her pupils havo ac quired an ordinary working knowl edge by frequent exercises, then by more difficult words, phraees, and clauses may profitably be con eidtred In conclusion, I may say that I do not consider even this method of teaching English as final or com plete, but am willing to Itarn a more excollent way. Hoping to s?e the eubjeot fully discussed, I am Very respectfully, II. 'A. Naders. Cross Hill, S. C. Deafness Cannot l>3 Cured by local application, as Ihey can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies; Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustach ian Tube. When Ibis tube gets In flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and when it la entirely closed Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken.out, and this tube re stored to Iis normal condition, bearing will bo destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous suface?.
