Such bargains were never seen or heard of before in the history of Jasper county.” IT WILL PAY YOU TO COME MILES to see the grand ana magnificent display of Merchandise to be found at no other place—only the Racket Store. We quote no prices, as we have no goods over 25c in our store. That alone is Eroof that where there is such a vast assortment, there must be some argains and wonderful ones at that.

We have no competition, as there is no chance for any. We sell goods so cheaply, we leave no room for others to get them any cheaper. We buy direct and have had the experience of a lifetime. In buying Goods, we buy right, and Goods bought right means they can be sold right.

Several ot our good substantial citizens who always have a little business and are compelled to go to town to take the children, arose Monday morning long before the cocks shrill clarion announced the break of day, but of course the show had nothing to do with disturbing their slumbers as none of them, according to their story, cared a fig about it. Mr. D. V. asks us to transport our whiskers over into his benighted locality and make the acquaintance of the fair queen of Sheba, of which the half has not been told. Now, Mr. D. V. you are laboring under a mistake. If we were to dress up and come over, your name would be Dennis with the fair queen. I presume you understand what we mean, as I observe you are way up in curt sayings. Our memories of pioneer days were awakened by reading friend Dunnville’s account of the two ladies who were almost hopelessly lost among the wilds of his township. The same thing could have happened in our locality in the fifties but now, happily, farm houses, church spiles, etc. can be seen from almost every quarter, while the smoke from some industry, curling heavenward, is plainly visible from every hilltop.

A CHINESE CEMETERY.

Neglected Spot in New York City Used for This purpose. It would be difficult to find hereabouts -a more neglected burying ground than the Chinese plot in the Cemetery of the Evergreens, says the New York Sun. It is situated in the northwest corner, over again st Ridgewood, and was set apart foi the purpose about 15 years ago. Tlh» plot contains peihaps half an acre. No attempt ha> ever been made to improve or beautify it. It has neither tree, nor shrub, nor flower, and grass grows only in patches. The graves are constantly littlered with refuse from frequent feasts and ceremonies; the headstones are streaked with grease. The stones which mark the graves are mostly uniform in size and appearance. On each are inscribed, in Chinese characters, the name, date of death and place of nativity of the person buried. The Chinese are particular about the inscriptions, and to insure accuracy give the marble cutters facsimiles oft paper, which are pasted on the face of the stones and the inscription is cut out through the paper by following the lines. Each headstone with an inscription costs from five to twelve dollars. The cemetery authorities get four for opening or reopening a grave. This is a source of constant revenue, from year to year. No matter how many interments, there will always be room for more. Seven or eight hundred persons have already been buried in the plot, yet the number of graves docs not exceed ten score. This is explained by the fact that these reslingplaces are only temporary. When means and opportunity permit, the bodies are exhumed, and the bones are packed in boxes for shipment to China, where they will finally restby the graves of their ancestors The headstones are then removed and new ones soon appear in their places. Thus a single grave may at various times have btjen a receptacle formanybodies. Recently more than a hundred bodies were exhumed and prepared for shipment.

Subscribe for The Democrat How to Talk to a Fool. A bright mind is quick to comprehend what is said by another, but a dull and sluggish mind demands more effort and keener speech before it catches the full force of another’s words. Hence the saying that there is most need of wit in talking to a fool. We must remember this as we talk with others, for not all whom we meet have bright minds; while, unfortunately, many of us have not enough wit to meet the fool standard.—S. S. Times.
