Ryes sf Home-Seekers Toned Toward Williamsburg County. The eyes of home-seekers and investors are being turned toward Williamsburg county as never before. Land that produces over 1,000 bushels of corn on ten acres is in demand. Says the Orangeburg Sun: Mr Albert Evans, a prominent farmer of the Bowman section, will in the next few days remove his family to Salters in Williamsburg county, where Mr Evans will continue the business of farming. His plantation near Bowman will be rented out next year.

A Peculiar Custom Still In Vogue Among the Sioux Indians. Many striking customs* of their past are still preserved by the Indians of the northwest, and of thost none is more interesting than a peculiar practice yet followed by the Sioux of the Devils Lake reservation. It appears on competent authority that from time immemorial these Sioux have adhered to an etiquette whereby it is the bounden duty of the host to supply his guest with all the food he may desire, and, as a rule, the apportionment set before the visiting Indian is in excess of the capacity of a single man. On the other hand, by the same \ custom the guest is obliged to eat | ail that is placed before him. else i he grossly insults his entertainer. Now, it was found that this prac- 1 tire would work a hardship, hut in- i at end of dispensing with l!:e ruston Hi.* Indian method 01 reasoning was applied, and what is known as the professional eater was brought b> the front. Wliile the gnest is supposed to cat all that is placed before him. it serves the same purpose if his . neighbor assists in devouring tlie bountiful repast. the main object being to have the plate clean when the meal shall he finished. It is not always practicable to depend upon a neighbor at tabic to as- I eist in getting away with a largo dinner, and in order to insure the final consumption of the allotted portion visiting Indians call upon j these professional fctcrs, whose duty it is to sit beside them through a meal and eat what the guest eats. The professional eaters are never looked upon in.the light of guests, but more as traveling companions with a particular duty to perform. These eaters receive from $1 to $2 and even $3 for each meal where they assist. It is stated that one of the professional eaters was known ' "?* i P I to have disposed ?i some seven pounds of beef at a sitting.?New York Ilerald. "Tabernacle Shadows of ths Battar Sacrifices."
