ritsd ;i long while ago. That’s
what everybody says who
knows her. She has been en
gaged to Mr. Travers for three
years, and has had to refuse lots
of oilers to go to the circus with
other young men. I have want
ed Iter to get married, so Icould
go and live with her and Mr.
Travers,
it hadn’t
made she would have been mar
ril'd yesterday, 1 find it dread-
ftlily hard to be resigned.
But we ought always to be re
signed to everything when we
can't help it.
Before 1 go any further I
must tell about my printing
press* It belonged to Tom Mc
Ginnis. but he got
and sold it to me real cheap.
He was going to exchange it
fora bicycle, a St. Bernard dog,
and twelve good books but he
finally let me have it for a dol
lar and a half.
It prints beautifully, and I
have printed cards for ever so
many people, and made three
dollars and seventy cents al
ready. I thought it would be
nice to be able to print circus
bills in case Torn and I should
ever have another circus, so 1
sent to the city and bought
some type more than an inch
high, and some beautiful yel
low paper.
Last week it was finally
agreed that Sue and Mr. Trav
ers should be married without
waiting any longer. You
should have seen what a state
of mind she and mother were
in. They did nothing but buy
new clothes, and sew, and talk
about the wedding all day long.
Sue was determined to he mar
ried in church, at d to have six
bridemaids and six bridegrooms
and flowers and music and all
sorts of things. The only thing
that troubled her was making
up her mind who to invite.
Mi ther wanted her to invite Mr.
and Mrs. McFadden and the
seven McFadden girls, but Sue
said they had insulted her, and
she could’ut bear the idea of
asking the McFadden tribe.
Everybody agreed that old Mr.
Wilkinson, who once came to
a party at our house with one
boot and one slipper, couldn't
be invited; but it was decided
that every one else that was on
giiod terms’ with our family
should have an invitation.
Sue counted up all the people
she m?ant to invite, and there
was nearly three hundred of
tin m. You would hardly be
lieve it, but she told me that I
mast carry around all the invi-
t.eions and deliver them my
self. Of, course I could’nt do
this without neglecting my
coming since the wedding bills
were put up. As for the wed!
dmg, it has been put off, am
York^t 8 ? he WiU g0 40 New
lo , . to , married, for she
would die if she were to have
a wedding at home after that
boy s dreadful conduct. What
is worse, I am to be sent away
to boarding-school, and all be-
.... . - ! :ause I m ade a mistake in print-
VYken 1 think that .1 mg the wedding bills without
*eeii or a mistake 1 hrst asking Sue how she would
like to have them nrinted.
catiou accept 10 per cent wire
ties or one bale in every ton
bought by our agents without
any deduction, and if the oth
er buyers will take an equal
share in the loss, we think the
Trust will soon come to better
terms.
Alex. Sprunt & Son.
Sprunfs Side ot the Wir<i Tie Ques
tion.
Our attention has been drawn
to several newspaper articles
with reference to the use of
- wire cotton ties, in which we
tired of it an? roundly abused because we
declined to buy wired cotton
without a deduction. We are
also charged with being allies
of the Cotton Tie Trust, and op
pressors of the Planter.
We abhor newspaper controv
ersies as much as .we detest
Commerical Trusts and Com
binations, but Iset these charges
may obtain credence where the
facts are not known, we desire
to make public the following
statement.
We are not now, nor have we
ever been, in sympathy with
the so-called Cotton Tie Trust,
nor have we any knowledge of
such a combination beyond the
public reference to it. We are
largo buyers of Cotton Ties and
the unreasonable advance in
the price is a serious burden to
us. We made no objection to
the new wire tires at fiist (al
though we were not consulted
about their use) because we
were hopeful that a limited ac
ceptance of them would enable
the planter to carry his point in
which we were interested and
that the combine would there
upon reduce the price of ties to
a reasonable value. We found,
however, that the new ties
which we had to remove and
throw away in every case came
in such numbers that the work
at our Presses was seriously re
tarded. The necessary time for
removing the wire and substi
tuting the regular ties which
were required abroad was five
times greater than the usual
operation of putting regular
bands through. We were will
ing to take a limited number of
wi rebound bales and set them
aside during the rush until we
could give them the necessary
time, but we could not fatally
hamper our business by accept
ing an unlimited number, and
therefore instructed our agents
to deduct for them or avoid
them altogether.
We fail to see why we, an in
nocent party, shonld be expect
ed to hear all the animus and
>1 ..lies and losing time, which ? ear a ‘ I * h . e a n ,n ™ 8 and
i> always precious, so I thought i iard8h P 8 0 , f t , h,s
oi a plan which would save Sue tWeen lhe planter and the Cot '
the trouble of directing three
hundred invitations and save
me from wasting time in deliv
ering them.
i got to work with my print
ing press, and printed a dozen
splendid big bills about the wed
ding. When they were priut
ed 1 cut a lot of small pictures
of animals and ladies riding on
1 erses .out of some old circus
l ills and pasted them on the
wedding bills. They were per
f. etly gorgeous, and you could
see them four or five rods off.
W hen they were all done 1
made some paste in a tin pail,
and went out after dark and
lasted them in good places all
over the village.
The next afternoon father
came into the house looking
V ry stern, and carrying one
of t he wedding bills in his hand,
lie handed it to Sue and sdid:
‘ Susan, what does this mean?
These bills are posted all over
the village, and there are
cr .wds of people reading them.”
Sue read the bill, and then she
gave an awful shriek, and I
fainted away, and 1 hurried
down to.the post ottice to see if
the mail had come in. This!
E what was on the wedding 1
bids, and 1 am sure it was!
spoilt(l till right:
Miss Susan Brown announces
mat she will marry Mr. James
’I ravers at the Church next
Thursday at half-past seven,
sharp. All the friends of the
Family, with the exception of
the MeFadden tribe and old Mr.
Wilkinson are invited. Come
early and bring lots of Howers. j
Now what was there to find
fault with in that? It wac!
printed beautifull), and every j
word was spelled right, with J
the exception of the name of,
the chuieli, and 1 did'nt put
thai in because l wasn't quite
sum how ro spell it. The bill
saved Sue all the trouble of,
s. iiduig out invitations, and it
sa>d everything that anybody j
could want to know about the
wt dding. Any other girl, but
Sue would have been pleased,
and would have thanked me for
all my trouble, but she was as
angry as if 1 Lad done some
thing real bad. Mr. Travers
was almost as angry as Sue,
and it was the lirst time be was
almost as angry as Sue, and it
was the lirst time be was ever
angry with me. I tun afraid,
now that he won’t let me ever i
come and live with him. Ho
hasn't said a word about myj
tween the planter and the Cot
ton Tie Trust. If we cannot
get any one to take these wire
tied bales from us, why should
we be expected to take them at
a heavy loss from the planter?
There is no margin of profit in
the Export business to compen
sate us. On the contrary, our
profits on cotton are exceeding
ly meagre and sometimes not
equal to the heavy expenses en
tailed. Nevertheless, to prove
that our side is with the farmer
in this fight, we are willing to
help him to overcome the abomi
nable Cotton Tie Trust, and we
will from the date of this publi-

Old people who need medicine
to regulate the bowels and kid

in Electric Bitters. This medi

alterative. It acts mildly on the
stomach and bowels, adding
strength and giving tone to the

H*rd to Detect the DifTerence.
Some grades and curings of
South Carolina tobacco are so
similar to Eastern North Caro
lina and Virginia tobacco that
experts have often failed in de
tecting the difference. The
general South Carolina crop,
however, retains much "of its
peculiar limpness—a slick, oily,
soft feeling, a mahogany cast
and a rather indescribable,
faint, sweet odor. When free
of grit, manufacturers esteem it
as a sweet filler. Its good body
makes it a desirable wrapper.
No bright tobacco section ever
loomed into quicker favor than
South Carolina tobacco.—South

A decided novelty is orange-
blossom salad, to be served at
wedding breakfasts. The pet
als are first preserved in a can
died syrup, like rose leaves, and
then sprinkled through a jelly
of light flavor, and barely stiff
enough to hold together. Of
course, as a comfit it is not spe
daily relishable, but to eat
orange-blossom salad with a
bride is a decidedly unique and
interesting experience.—Sky
