Thomas Stobo Farrow who was born in the village of Laurens October 12th, 1832, died at his home in Columbia last Wednesday night after a brief ill ness. His remains were taken to Spartanburg, his former home, for burial on Friday. Col. Farrow was prominently identi fied with the history of South Carolina in time of war and of peace, the grea ter part of his life having been spent in the public service. He was a son of Patillo and Jane Farrow and was graduated from the South Carolina College at the age of twenty. He read law and practiced with his brother in Spartanburg. Later he served as master in equity of Spar tanburg county. He entered the war as captain of the Forest Rifles and served along the coast until after the surrender of Fort Sum ter. Upon the reorganization of the Confederate forces he was elected lieu tenant colonel of the 13th S. C. Infan try, Gregg's Brigade, Army of North ern Virginia. He was engaged in most of the important battles and was twice wounded. After the war he assisted in the re demption of the State from radical rule. During both administrations of Presi dent Cleveland, Col. Farrow held the position of second assistant Auditor of the War Department at Washington. At the time of his death he was writ ing a history of Reconstruction in South Carolina from 1868 to 1876. Col. Farrow was married three times; first to Miss Laura Henry of Spartan burg in 1854; to Miss Janie Reden of Walterboro in 1861, and to Mrs. E. Adele Elerbe of Gaffney in 1900.

He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Julia McGowan of Wash ington and one brother, Col. Henry P. Farrow, of Gainesville, Ga. Product of Mills. The product in one day of the Ixmg man & Martinez great works is enough to paint every house and everything mane of wood in a city with the L. & M Paint. In use thirty years; several houses painted with L. & M. L. & M. costs about $1.20 per gallon. The L. & M. is the best and cheap est, because the L. & M. Zinc, hardens the L. & M. White Lead, and makes it paint more surface and wear a longer time than any other paint. L. & M. costs about $1.20 a gallon. It only requires 4 gallons of this cele brated and 3 gallons of Linseed Oil at 60 cents per gallon to paint a moderate sized house. Therefore a property owner ought not pay $1.50 per gallon for Linseed Oil, which he must do when h ready-for-use paint is bought. L. & M. costs about $1.20 a gallon. W. L. Boyd, Laurens. S. C.

Wijkes & Co. ; Lisbon News Items. Lisbon, Nov. 7th.?The farmers are about through picking cotton; some peas and com to gather yet and then we may commence to prepare for wheat sowing, etc. We are glad to see so many farmers holding cotton, and their cotton seed to put under their grain. This shows that the farmers are get ting in proper shape to do the proper thing?to live at home and to make more provisions at home and to be in dependent. Miss Julia Smith has gone to Macon, Ga., to a business college at that place. Miss Julia is a bright young lady and we predict a bright future for her. Miss Marybell McKenzie of Roland, N. C., has charge of the Lisbon High School. We are very much pleased with Miss McKenzie. Lisbon was well represented at the State Fair. Mr. Henry Milam is quite sick.

Blood poison creeps up towards the heart, causing death. J. E. Stearns, Belle Plaine, Minn., writes that a friend dreadfully injured his hand, which swelled up like blood poisoning. Bucklen's Arnica Salve drew out the poison, healed the wound, and saved his life. Best in the world for burns and sores. 25 cents at Laurens Drug Co. and Palmetto Drug Co. Her Terse Reply. A clergyman, who had already buried two wives, fell in love with one of his congregation, a pretty, lively girl, who knew her own mind and spoke it freely, and wrote her a note telling her how he loved her and wished her to be his wife, begging her to accept him and "thus help to repair the breaches time had made in his life." Her answer was terse and to the point and came promptly. "Mend your own breeches." Politeness. Politeness and courtesy, like charity, "begin at home," and the woman who is complaining that men are no longer as courteous as they formerly were should look first to her own family. That there is a deplorable lack of cour tesy shown by men toward the women whom they meet is an undeniable fact, but is it not caused partly, at least, by the women themselves? The fact that a woman is working in the same office with a man from 8 o'clock in the morn ing until 0 in the evening, often times doing the same work as the man him self, is no reason why nor excuse for, his not showing her every courtesy due her sex, but it does account in a great measure for his carelessness in the mat ter. For it is carelessness. The man J who is a true gentlemen at heart never means any direct disrespect; it is mere carelessness on his part that makes him forget the little courtesies that our grandfathers and great-grandfathers were wont to bestow upon every wo man simply because she was a woman. But it is not the business woman who is the chief cause of the man's attitude on this subject. The woman of leisure who stays downtown always until the 6 o'clock car and then neglects to t hank the tired man when he gives her his seat in a crowded street car, is the same woman who always oucupies one of the three rear seats and then scowls at the man who smokes at her side. She talks to the shopkeeper as if he were her slave, with nothing to do but sell her a postage stamp or rush about to see that she is not disturbed while us ing his telephone for a half hour's idle gossip while a hurried customer at the other end must needs call at another store. -Indianapolis Sentinel, Be sure to let us show you our line of fancy center tables in either oak or ma hogany. 8.
