Miss Minnie Morrison of McC’lel- ilsnvilltj »S. C. is on a visit to Mrs. W. J. Ewjy. Mr. Jolm Ivrly is improving the looks of his stare by (be addition of ■jin iron front. l*-t others follow his example. The presence of dandruff indicates .-a diseased scalp, and if not cured, blanching of the hair and baldness ■will result. Hall’s Hair Renewer ■will cure it. We againg call attention to the nuisance of hitching horses on the .sidewalks and in the vicinity of the trees on the Square. Unless the later is put a stop to the trees will soon be ■ruined. Don’t forget the entertainment at the Opera House on Thursday night for the benefit of the Darlington Guards. The object >s a worthy one, and besides this the programme is a good one. The street lamps are all fitted with shades and reflectors, and the light is very brilliant. If they are kept up to the present standard, they will more than meet the expectations of the public. The town authorities have exten ded the time for payment of taxes, ; and it is hoped that everybody will appreciate the concession and make ■prompt payments. The money is .very much needed. A large number of convicts passed through town on Monday, returning from the railroad camp of the C. S. .& N. road. One of them died while xm the march, but we have not learn ed the cause of his death. When you are troubled with ■coughs, colds, &c., call at J. 0.

One of the livliest and noisiest places in town is White’s tin shop, but he can’t help making a racket .owing to the fact that, he has so much work to do, and hammering tin and sheet iron does not make very sweet music. Mamma (to her little boy). ‘-Now, Bennie, if you ’ll lie good and go to sleep, mamma ’ll give you one of Dr. Ayer’s nice sugar-coated Cathartic Pills, next time you need medicine.” Bennie, smiling swelly, dropped off p) sleep at once. There was a game of base ball at the park on Saturday afternoon be tween Palmetto and Lydia, in which the former prevailed with a tx-ore of nineteen to six. We will be always glad to make announcements for the different clubs, and hojie that the season will be a lively one. Not many physicians make great therapeutic discoveries. For the most part thejr content themselves with administering judiciously what is prescribed in the books. To Dr. J. C.

Robbery at-EJorcnec, A daring attempt was made to rob Mr. Stuokley’sstore about 2 o’clock oij Sunday morning. The intention of the thieves was to carry off the safe, but they were surprised in their work by one of the policemen before they could accomplish their design. They presented pistols at the police man, and made their escape, Como Again. The first popular excursion to Darlington over the C. S. & N. 11.11. took place on last Thursday. A large crowd went and as Darlington was then visited for the first time by a good many of the party, they enjoy ed the trip hugely, ’rice proceeds will be added to the “Pipe Organ Fund” of the Methodist Church.— Sumter Advance. A Fine Farm. On Tuesday the •editor had the pleasure of riding over Mr. McCul lough’s farm across the crock, and of inspecting his fine tobacco crop, of which he has about twenty five acres all in splendid order. Besides the tobacco he has thirty acres in okra and in topiatos, the vegetables being planted for the Canning Co. Mr. McCullough’s oats ,on the Florence road have just been cut and they are the finest .ever grown in the vicinity of the town. The ttiuMter Excursion. A considerable number of people came over on an excursion train from Sumter, on Thursday, and spent the day visiting friends and seeing the sights of the town. The excursion was given by the ladies of the Sum ter Methodist Church, and a good sum of money was made by the trip. The money will he used to assist in the purchase of a fine pipe organ for the church. This is the second in stallment of our Sumter friends who have honored ns by a visit, and we extend a cordial invitation to them to come again. A Serious Loss to a P«>or Man. Mr. John Hunter, who lives a few miles from town, had the misfortune to lose his horse a few days ago, and is unable to replace the animal with out some help from the public. Mr. Hunter was a very gallant soldier, and is partially disabled by a wound received during the war. We build monuments for the dead soldiers, and this is nothing hut right; hut we should tot he unmindful of the living ones, and when they need help it ought to he cheerfully extended. Can’t th(^ ladies, who are ever fore most in good works, do something in this case ? Sound Idvice to Young Men. “Every young man who earns wages ought to buy a lot and make a start of a home. The way to make a start is to save a little money each month and make a payment on your purchase, and so, little by little, pay for a lot and build your house. Don’t spend all your money on livery turn outs and dances and ice cream to please your best girl. After a while you will need a home for that best girl, and the youngsters that some way or another generally come around and want to “put up” with you.

We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Sal lie Kennedy McCown, wife of G. J. McCown of this place, which occurred on Sunday afternoon at half past two o’clock. She was horn in Alabama on the 17th of February 1861, and was married the 28th of February 1883. She had only lived in town for a few years but had made a large number of friends, and her loss will he deeply felt by all who knew her. She was a member of the Presbyterian church and felt an abiding faith in Him who doeth all things well.. A hus band and two li.ttje girls have been bereft of the light of their lives, and a home made desolate by her death. The funeral services took place on Monday at the Presbylg.ian church. Make the Tea T|ble Attractive. No domestic sight is pleasanter in its way than a tea table on a cold winter night, spread with a bright cloth and set out with dainty china and shining silver, and with all the cheer inspiring appurtenances of the tea tray, with the plate of hot bread, the savory dish of hot meat, and. the little relishes that the housekeepers know well how to supply. And in summer its counterpart is seen iij the table laid in the room brightened by the level sun’s rays, where a crisp salad, pilesof white and brown bread, and a plate of rusk or tea bnscuit, pitchers of milk, and a dish of ber ries with cream galore revive the fainting appetites and spirit of those w ho have bore the heat and burden (•f the-day.—-Harper's Bazar. •State Teachers Coin cution. Prof. D. B. Johnson, chairman of the executive committee of the State Teachers’ Association, has published a card announcing that the next meeting of the Association will he held at Anderson, on July, 22, 23 and 24. Members of the Association will he entertained by the hospitable people of that progressive city, and will also get reduced railroad rates to and from the meeting. An inter esting programme is being prepared. Those who desire to become members, and who desire to enjoy the privi leges of the Association, should send to the secretary, Prof. A. R. Ranks, Rock Hill, the annual dues, one dol lar for men, and fifty cents for wo men, and secure from him a mem bership certificate, which will be necessary to secure reduced railroad rates and entertainment. Every ‘live* teacher in the State should he a member of the Association. Friends of education are eligible to member ship. Is This So 1 We clip the following from Home and Farm, suppose some of our far mors try it in a small way and ru- port the result. We would call the attention of our readers to the following statement from an Ohio exchange: The Ohio experiment station has made some interesting experiments showing the effect of removing tas sels from corn. They were made to test the theory that if the tassels were removed from corn before tljev have produced pollen, pollen bearing being an exhaustive process, the strength thus saved to the plant would he turned to the ovaries and a larger amount of grain he produced. From each alternate row of a plot of corn the tassels was removed as soon as they appeared. Briefly, the result of the experiment was that the number of good ears and the weight of merchantable corn were both a little more than fifty per cent, grea ter on the rows from which the tas- S.els w ere removed tffan on the others. This a subject of profound im portance. It is a theory that can he easily tested, each farmer should make the experiment for himself. Try it on a small patch of corn first. Remove the tassels from each alter nate row and see what the effect will he, .Ben Terrell’s Address. A largo crowd gathered in town on Saturday to hear the address of this prominent lecturer, and the Court House was filled witl^ a very attentive, and to some extent an en thusiastic audience. Mr. Terrell is a pleasing speaker, has a clear dis tinct voice, and is not the least hit sensational in his style. It would he a great gain for the Alliance if all their speakers would follow Mr. Ter rell’s example and try to convince their hearers by argument instead of indulging ju abuse and vituperation. The main point of his address was the discussion of the Sub-Treasury Bill, the adoption of w hich, he claim-j ed, would he of immense benefit to 1 the farmers, and, incidentally of course, benefit all other classes. He made a very earnest plea to the mem bers of the Alliance to unite on this measure and insist upon its passage by the next Congress. He did not advocate the third party, hut simply stated Hiat the members of the Alli ance were free to join any party that would best subserve their interests. He criticised the newspapers for en deavoring to keep up sectional ani mosity, which criticism, was to a very great extent, unjust. The pa pers, of the South, have simply poin ted out the danger to our section would result from the formation of a third part)’. Now Try This.
