Mb. Editor:
On Saturday November 14tb, we
were present at a corn-shucking at
our neighbor, Mr. 9. T. Stewart's,
together with several of oar friends.
One of those present came through
one of Mr. Stewart's turnip patches
and was telling about how flue and
large turnips bo found there; So
after dinner Mr. Stewart asked all
who wished to see a real large tur
nip to go with him toanolher patcb.
So several of us went and certain
ly and a whopper. He decided to
Iiull up the largest one and weigh
t. After all present bad guessed
how much it would weigh. It was
of tho White Norfolk Qlobo varie
ty, and weighed exactly twelve
pounds and measured twenty-eight
and one-half Inches in circumfer
ence. It was the largest turnip
ever seen by any one present. And
by the way that is not the ouly large
thing our friend Stewart has for he
has raised a very largo family, and
more than that he has made his
own living at home as far as It Is
possible for a man to do, never buy
ing corn, flour, meat nor molasses.
It strikes us that if more of the
people of this country wore to do
the same thing thero would not bo
such a cry of hard times and wo
could certainly pull through awhile
longer without the Free Coinage of
Silver, while there is no doubt in
our minds about It being restored
to its rightful place as one of our
money metals In tho not far dis
tant future, yet It behooveSvevpry
man to corao as near living at
home as he can. Thero is, in our
opinion only one safe way for a
man to live and that is as we have
said bet?re raise your supplies at
home as far as possible and then
as much cotton as you can thor
oughly cultivate.

Death of a former Citizen.
Tho news was received here a
few days ago that Mr. John F.
Saxon, formerly a resident of this
city, died on tho 13ih nil., at tho
home of his son in Cartersvillo,
Ga. Mr. Saxon was a native of
Laurens County, and belonged to
one of the oldest and most promi
nent families in the upper section
of this State. It was a conspicuous
family in the Revolutionary war,
and was among tho largest in Lnu
rens County, but there aro few
members bearing that namo now
living there. Mr. Saxon camo to
Greenville fifteen or twenty years
ago, and subsequently went to
Cartersvllle, where ho lived with
his eldest son, Robert L. Saxon.
Ho was about 80 years of age and
was a man of large heart and
kindly disposition. ? Greenville

least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to euro In all
its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only

Catarrh cure is taken internally,

thereby destroying tho foundation
of the disease, and giving tho pa
