Prof. Moncrief gave two lectures while in our part of the country. Both were intellectual feasts. He made many friends while here and pi'obably won many young people’s minds to the idea of attending Franklin college. He spent Saturday in our neighborhood at the home of. one of his former pupils. A few nights ago two Hartsville young gentlemen were driving at a lively rate toward Burney. A young gentlemen of Barney was driving at a lively pace toward the home of one of our fair maidens. All parties were deeply interested in, —well, —we know not what—but we do know that the result was, broken buggies, some sweating, and a little maid had to wait and watch for the belated on 6. On Thanksgiving day, Walter Coffey, on returning fron Thanksgiving services at Burneys, was Ihoroughly surprised, when he came into the house by finding several cf his friends and schoolmates assembled to welcome him home.

A full attendance is requested. Eldkedge Anberson, Committeeman. Woes of a Farmer’s Boy. At One of the agricultural congresses held recently, Chief Buchanan had this to say of the farmer’s boy: I have been much interested in what Chairman Allerton has said about farmer’s boys and their trials. I think I arn a past master in all the woes of a farmer’s boy. I always cot the short end of the handspike at a log rolling; I was always put at the tail end of the threshing machine to put away the straw, and I have experienced the delights of tramping away hay in a suffocating mow, finding all the briers with my bare feet, and all the nails in the roof with my bare head. Books are so cheap now that the farmer’s boy may become just as proficient as any boy in the city whose father has an income of $100,000 a year. I have read myself to sleep for 25 years, and I want to say that I would not trade the outside. education I picked up in the country for all the college lore you could pile before me. Let the farmer’s boys spend their money for libraries. —Indiana Farmer. The Republican until Dec. 31, 1894 for one dollar. Buy the SX $3 hat, —best hat in the world for the money.

And the lle<\ Nosed r.Tan Went on to Tell How the Venom Got In Po Wcrlt. “It’s all humbug, this talk about rattlesnakes being so deadly poison.”, said a red faced man in the smoking car. ‘Tvo lived among ’em. They used to bo to thick out where I lira that you had to bo mighty careful where yon put your feet down if yon didn't want to hurt a rattler or two every time you stepped. “My bod was never anymore than big enough for mo and the easy conscience I always slept with, but I've woks up more times than I’ve got fingers and loea and found that two or three rattlesnakes had managed to find room with un. They wero plenty, I tell yon, out where I live. Dut deadly? Pooh! Why. I've'known scores and scores cf people i o be socked, and socked deep, by rattlers, and I never knew of but one instance where a rattler's bite was fatal; never but onco out of more cases than there’s pimples oh a goose. ‘•Bill Bulger was the man that was bit that time—a groat, big, rough scuff of a log chopper that didn’t look as if a whole den of rattlers could raise as much as a flea bite on him. Dut ho went to teasing a big buck rattlesnake that had come down to camp to look around one day, and the snake just threw his upper teeth against Dill a couple of times, and every drop of poison he had ho emptied into Dill’s wrist. Holler? Great jeeswax, how Bill did holler! Wo grabbed him and hurtled him over to the Pig’s Ear shebang on t’other side of the camp and began to decant rum into him, and it wasn’t long before Dill looked as if bo was glad he was bit. “Everybody said he’d die, though, sure pop, because that buck rattlermust have unloaded into Jim close on to three fingers of the best poison be bad. Consequently folks wero surprised more than you can think when they got around next morning and found Bill on deck as chipper as a red squirrel and sound as a while oak knot.” “What!" exclaimed the man in tho next seat. "I thought you said that bice was fatal!” “it was, sir,” replied the red faced man. “Dill got blind, crazy drunk on the strength of that snake bite and killed the bartender!” —New York Dun. Kerosene Oil I u China. Kerosene oil is rapidly growing in favor as a cheap illummaut in China. The consumption, which was 8.2."5G,000 gallons in 1882. had risen to 49,848,000 gallons in 1891. Of this amount 80 per cent was imported from America and 20 per cent from Russia. The llluminant before kerosene was introduced was bean or tea oil. The Chinese have discovered, however, that kerosene is cheaper and gives a much better light. It is called fire oil by them.
