A Fraternal Call and How to Advertise.
A donkey entered n store one day?
The merchant, surprised whs he,
\nd to the dcnkey lie said: "'I pray,
What may vour business be?
"You know full well, or you ought to.
know,
That this is no place for you;
Then he so kind cs to quh-kly g"l" ..
H then bade the donkey "Adieu*'
The donkey, however, was not inclined,
To take his leave iust yet;
Indeed, it seemed lhat the donkey's
mind
Was bent on a social ohat.
"I um here," quoth the donkey, "becuuse
I read
Your ad on the pasture fence;
And straightway to myself I said,
Like ine, his mind is dense;
"And I know full w 11 he's a donkey,
too.
For none but donkeys read
i Those sprawling ads in white and
blue,
I 'Round the fields where donkeys
i feed."
"Now, if it is were meu you desire to
come
I And spend their dimes and pence.
I You'd put it in Union Tjmkh, by gum !
I And not on a pasture fence.
'"So, feeling fraternal-like, I came
The time of day to pass,
For I know that you must ba the

Knights of Honor Oyster Supper.
The old giving, that a most ?ff-etSv<>
way hf reaching a man's heart
whs through his stomnch. wan v?>iified
and practi nily dcmonstrhtu'
Wednesday night, when the home
lodge 1117 Knights of Honor Served
r.n oyst? rsupper attheGibbes H? use.
The greatest abundance of raw.
stewed and fried oysters was fur
ished, and the best evidence thut ti e
stewed and fried oysters were delicious,
together with crackers, pickleg,
sauces and coffee, was the quantity
consumed. Immediately after
supper, toasts were in order. Dr.
M. W. Gulp was toast master. Ordinarily
when a biped is changed into
a bivalve, the transformation having
been produced by the consumption
of lite latter by the former, the object
thus transformed assumes thnature
of the intter consumed, in
this case motionless, emotionless
tongueless, therefore speechless. Not.
so on this occasion for when the toast
master called upon Mr. R L. Got dina,
"Beaver" and K. of 11., he responded
in a most fluent and interesting
speech, relating to thtfhistory,
growth and good which had been and
was now being accomplished by the
order of Knights of Honor. Dr. B.
G. Cl.-ff.ird responded most feelingly
and touchingly upon the sceiul features
of tho order, its moral and religious
influence upon the members
in their association with each other
under the obligations so soleint ly
pledged. Tho frequent gathering together
in social intercourse, inspired
the members witli deeper feelings of
brotherly lovo and confidence in each
other's siuceret.y of purpose to live
up to the obligations taken.
Junge J m ureer said 11 few very
appropriate words for the good of
the order, encouraging ihe frequent
assembling tcgether for mutual benefit.
We very much regret the inability
of the members who reside
out of town to attend, as we regard it
very unfortunate that these worthy
members so seldom visit the lodge
and mingle with the body. A motion
was made and unanimously carried,
that this lodge invite the Supreme
Dictator, Governor John C. Sheppard
to deliver a public address sometime
during this month or early in December.
It is the wish of this lodge that
every member in this and adjoining
counties be present on this occusion,
also as many others as will honr r
tnertl With their presence. A notice
of the day and hoar wi'l be given in
the Times, in order that all may
avail themselves of such a rare opportunity
to hear so distinguished a
speaker, upon a subject of such vital
importance.
Conviction of Mayor McCue.
The sensational triul of McCue, the
ex-mayor of Charlottesville. Va., for
killing his wife, ended in a verdict, of
murder in the first degree The rosult
was no surprise to those who
hmve followed the trial closely In ti e
daily papers. It is said that the
jury, on entering the jury room was
led in prayer by ono of the jurors
This is probably without precedent,
but why should not those who hold
the destiny of a fellow-being in their
hands seek guidance of Him whose i
all-searching eye discerns the motives
of the hearts of men as well as sees
the deeds of their ha?d?? Hasten
the day when South Carolina juries j
will be as honest, conscientious and
as anions to do iho right as was

Mules Killed by Train.
Griffin Mendor, a worthy colored
farmer, living on the Glenn place
near Broad River, was on his way to
Rice's mill last Saturday morning to
have some corn ground for a neighbor.
He wns driving down the street
between Prof. .Jeffries and Capt.
Farr's residence, which has u high
board fence on either side, running
to the track, which makes this a dangerous
crossine.
Thin passenger train, which is due
at the station at. 11: .57 a. in., ? ns a
few minutes late. Juat aa the {air
of mules got on the track the engine
struck them, throwing them
about thirty feet, killing both and
demolishing the wagon. Mead or waa
fortunately thrown in the ditch with
part of the wagon over him, and he
waa only stunned. The train stopped
to ascertain the damages and the conductor,
after giving Mendor some attention,
assured him not to be uneasy,
as the Southern Railway Co
would make good his loss as soon as
the matter could be looked into.
