HOME AFFAIRS.
As to Obituaries.
The rule of tili? Ofllce as to the pub
lication of Obituaries, has always been
that such matter in excess of ten lines
was chargeable, at the same rate as
advertising?one dollar per square,
space of one inch.
We now extend the limit to twenty
lines. All obituaries exceeding this
limit must be paid for at said rate.
TO SUBSCRIBERS.
A groat many of THE Advkktiskk's
subscribers are in arrears,?many more
than usual. It is impossible for tho pa
per to got along unless its subscribers
pay.
During the year wo have ondoavored
to glvo you the worth of your money.
Your county paper publishes news that
you can get In no other paper. Tho
big weekly editions of dally papers
publ'ihed in Atlanta and other cities,
that you get for a low pi ,oo make you
think that the price of your county pa
per Is high. But those big weeklies do
not toll you who is on the jury in Lau
rons. Thoy do not toll you who of your
frionds aro married and who aro dead.
You cannot call upon them to publish
tho rolls of honor in your schools and
tho announcements of your pienlcs and
club meetings. Kvon tho advertise
ments in your county paper aro valua
ble to you?they contain information
which ovory man in haurons county
froquontly noods. This year is elec
tion ye.ir and vou will uood a county
papor more than usual.
A county papor cannot havo a large
circulation like tho papors that the
daillos publish and tho dailies can pub
lish weokly editions much cheaper
than wo can of course
Wo havo been indulgent?too much
- so for our good. Wo can ludulge no
longer. On the first day of Maren we
oxpoct to stop sending tho paper to
thoso who have shown no disposition
to pay anything tbis fall. Between
now and then, tho eoonor tho hotter,
we ask payment from all In arrears.
If you can't pay all, and will pay a
part, you will find us roady to meet
you half way and to cont inue sending
tho paper.
One dollar for thoso who pay in ad
vance. One dollar and a half strictly
to tboso who do not pay in advance.

A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING.
Lan.ens Loses to Seneca one of her
most Charming Daughters.
A very beautiful wedding look place
in the city at noon on Wednesday last,
by which Miss Bmmie Jones, the at
tractive and popular daughter of Mr.
w. W. Jones, beoame the wife of Dr,
E. C. Doyle, of Seneca. The marriage
took place iii. the home of the bride in
the presence of relatives and intimate
friends, Key. Robert Adams, of the
Presbyterian church, officiating, The
bridal party came in to Mendlcsohn's
ever inspiring march rendered by
Miss Caro Adams and after passing
through gates of ribbon, held ajar by
Misses Willie and Untie Jones, Bessie
Todd and Samuel Fleming, took their
positions for the ceremony.
Misses Josephine Minter, Kmmic
Meng, A11 if Webb and Louise Fleming,
the bridesmaids entered first, followed
by the groom with his brother and best
man, Dr. W. K. Doyle, and lastly by
the bride upon the arm of her sister,
Miss Connie Jones, the maid of honor.
The bride wore a becoming traveling
gown of blue, combined most effect
ively with while broadcloth and jet
and carried a bouquet of white hya
cinth and maiden hair fern. The
bridesmaids and "best girl" wore
handsome street costumes and formed
a group unusual for beauty and grace
Dr. and Mrs. Doyle took the train at
1.80 o'clock for a weddings trip to ter
minate at their home in Seneca. Dr.
and Mrs. Jones, of Greenville, Mr. and
Mrs. Doyle, of Seneca. Dr. and Mrs. O.
B. Mayer, of N'ewbcrry, Miss Louise

McGowan, Cothran, Hagood, and now
General Bratton, of Fair Held, follows
hard into the great unknown. He died
suddenly of heart disease on Thursday
last. Ho was a brave soldier, rose to
the rank of Brigadier, commanded a
noblo Brigade, and to his honor and
the glory of his men,surrendered them
in lighting order at Appomatox. He
served as Comptroller General of the
State, an unexpired term In Congress,
was of a noblo race of patriots, and 'n
his lifo was an honor to his lineago
and to the State which he so nobly
served.
Judge K. C. Watts.
Some days ago our people were pleas
ed with a visit from this popular ju
rist, who always receives a warm wel
come from his old friends and former
companions. Probably no Judge Oil
the Bench has been more attentive to
his duties or more wise and just in his
rulings than has Judge Watts, and we
believe the General Assembly will al
most universally endorse Judge Watts
at the present session, and in so (hung
reflect the will of the people generally.
Comparatively a stranger to some of
our people in a few sections of the
Stale when first elected to the Bench,
Judge Watts is by no means a stranger
to the nubile now, and no man is more
generally esteemed, not only for his
judicial wisdom and learning, hut for
his congeniality and convivial nature,
also. The honored representatives of
the peopleof the Slate made no mistake
when they honored Judge Watts by
placing him on the Bench, and he in
turn has honored South Carolina. We
cannot conceive of a quality more en
titled to endorsement than that of du
ty ably and conscientiously performed,
which to-day stands to the credit of
Judge Watts. Now let the General
Assembly honor themselves by honor
ing a worthy son of a worthy Stale.?

The purchase of the Charleston

Atlantic Coast Line has not
caused any sensation hen;. As to
the change itself, our people aro
greatly interested that the road
shall be loft in the hands of the
present managers. Laurens is more
interested in this road than any
other county and contributed
more to its building. The Super
intendent of the road, A. W. An
derson, is a Laurens man who en
tered its service here twelve or fif
teen years ago and has steadily
worked himself up to his present
position. The pnople of Laurens
feel that with Mr. Anderson hold

In the islo of Man every Christmas is

and they splashed and so befouled the
Water that ho could not, so he said,
"Ungrateful birds, you aro proud of
your snow white feathers, but they
shall become black and remain so until

Real property to bo returned
tIiis yoar.
It will save muoh time to tax
payers, also greatly facilitate tho
work of tho Assessor, if every per
son before leaving home will make
out a complete list of every item
of personal property in tho follow
ing older: Horses, cattle, mules,
sheep and goats, hogs, watches,
organs and pianos, buggies,
wagons and carriages, dogs, mer
chandise, machinery und engines,
moneys, notes und acOOimtS ftboVG
indebtedness, and all other prop
erty including household.
ll is always required thai the
Auditor gel tho first given natno
of t he taxpayer in full.
Ultdor the bead of place of resi
dence on tax returns give the
township.
All male citizens between the
ages of twenty-011.' and sixty
years, on tho 1st of January, ex
COpt those who are incapable of
earning a support, from being
maimed or from other causes are
deemed taxable polls (confederate
veterans excepted).
And every taxpayer is required
to give the number of their school
dist riot.
Alter the 90th day of February
next, fifty per cent, p?nalty will
be attached for failures to make
returns.
In every community there are
persons who cannot read or that
do not take a newspaper. Those
more fortunate may do such per
sons a great, favor by telling t hem
of the time to make returns or by
returning for them.
The assessing and collecting
taxes is all done in the same year,
and we have to aggregate the num
ber and value of all horses, mules,
cattle and other pieces of personal
property, 11s well as the acres of
land, lots and buildings and their
value that there is in this county,
and have tho same on file in tho
Compt roller General's office by the
801 b of June of each year, and from
that time to the first, day of Oc
tober the Auditor and Treasurer's
duplicate have to be cumplotod
and an abst ract of the work in the |
Comptroller General's office by j
that time, which will show at a
glance that the Auditor has no
time to take returns or anything
els.j much between t ho 1st. day of
March and the 1st day of October
but work on tho books and the
blanks. Wo hope thoroforo that
all taxpayers will make their ^re
turns in t ime.
