The farmers all seem to be killing their hogs at one time, and spare ibs and back-bone, pudding and sausage, hold right-oi-way upon the bill of fare. We are sorry to lose both our Methodist ministers who roside here. Revs. Langston and Carraway. Our bist wishes follow them to their niw homes. The handsome safe, purchased less tiiaa a year ago, wnicn as mown no last Thursday night in the post- office, will be quickly replaced by a larger and stronger one. Mr. R. L.

Does it occur to you that Christ mas is almost upon us, and another ear gone by? How swiftly time flies! Soon comes the New Year the time for framing all those golden resolutions.

GERMAN KALI WORKS, Kew York 2 Bh!i Street, or Atlanta, Ga $0. Broad St. AN ENJOYABLE OCCASION. The Festival at Salem Last Friday Night, Was A Great Success. Dbar Argus: The festival held &t&atem last Friday night, Dec. 4th, cor, ducted by our efficient teacher. Miss Edua Oliver, assisted by Mr. O. J. Howell and others.for the purpose of establishing a library in the pub lic school, was a complete success. Being gotten up in such a short time it had not become very well known throughout the community, never theless a good crowd of merry-makers and well-wishers to the cause, as their liberality proved, were present There was, of course, a plenty of everything nice to eat, as always is on such occasions, and every body seemed to have a good time. The most interesting feature and that which proved the most benefi cial one was a cake contest. The cake was donated by Mrs. William Howell aud was voted upon by the school boys aud other young men to the prettiest young lady. It was of a large heart shape and lis snowy whiteness contrasted beautifully with the bank of green geranium leaves upon which it lay. Whether so pre pared intentional or not but it sug gested to our minds the emblem of purity. Through which motive no doubt it was given and for which purpose it was to be u-sed. At the cloe of this amusing and nteresting coafeHt the cake was awarded to Miss Edna Oliver having received 212 votes. The total amount received for this cake was $23.35, over which there was pleasant sur prise and much rejoicing, but none more genuine, we believe, than that of the schoolboys who stuck together and fought so nobly for this honor for their excellent teacher. Notwith standing they had strong opposition to contend with, it seemed only to; ncrease their determination not to be backed down, so they stood firmly together with unswerving, untiring effort flghtinsr their opponents as bravely and nobly as did their fore fathers " 'way back in the sixties" until the end of the contesl and suc cess crowned their- efforts. Then words needed no utterance for joy and happiness was stamped upon each countenance. As we stood by admiring the pluck of these young heroes we thought if throughout their future lives they were as persevering and as deter mined of success as at that time it is enough to say 4 'Twill be well with the boys." Another great en couragement to them besides the achievement of success was that this act of loyalty was not lost upon their teacher, whose very expression of countenance showed plainly that it was treasured more than, words can ever tell; not for the cake alone but because, in the language of the poet, 'Tis sweet to be remembered." At, the close of this evening of pleasure -it was found that the net proceeds were $25.00 Thus the Ob ject was accomplished and our library is an established fact, and we believe everybody enjoyed it and went away with a lighter purse, no doubt, but also With a lighter heart,feeling that they' had spent their money for a good eaur-e. ...-w.

A . - ,1 1 1 found in a critical condition near the home ofCapt. A. L. Sasser, in Fork towmnip tn;s morning, uapps was found by his son in a roadside ditch, where he had lain all night. He had been severely lacerated with a knife and thrown into the ditch to die. He was not dead when found and his son went to the home of Mr. D. A. Sasser, where there was a Bell telephone and phoned to this city for a doctor. Dr. Theo. L. Ginn answered the summons and dressed the wounds. Capps was very weak from loss of blood and his recovery is doubtful. " i Capps lives in the lower edge of Johnston county. He came to this : city yesterday and was on his way back home when he met with such a terrible experience. His home is near the old Atkinson mill and is six or seven miles from where he got cut. During the night his mule and cart were found at his trate. The family immediately began a search, thinking that he was somewhere on the premises intoxicated. They did not find him and early this morning his oldest son took the same team and started back to town. lie came along slowly and found his father at the place described above. The evi dence of a scuffle in the road, which had not been washed away by the rain at that time, and the stains of blood on the ground enabled the young man to locate his father. Capps is a farmer. The purpose of the cutting is not known or even suspicioned at present. When he regains oonseiousness and strength 3&&ui 9 talk, tke mystery will prcl&iily be solred. In the mean time the theory is advanced that he come to town to sen cotton ana while on his way home was at tacked and robbed. STONY CREEK ITEMS. We are glad to learn that Mr. J. W.

This Is the time of year for tenants to be moving and there is a good deal of it to be done between now and the end of the year.

Most of them will agree that this is so, but the habit of mov ing has become a second nature and is as hard to overcome as any other habit.

Offer to Refund Money if Hyomei Does Not Cure Catarrh, To the Editor of the Argus: We have been asked recently if the advertisements printed fa your columns regarding 'Hyomei were true, where w& offer to refund the money if this treatment does not cure catarrh and catarrhal deafness. We wish you w ould please pr nt this letter in as conspicuous a place as possible in your daily paper, saying that we absolutely agree to refund the money to any purchaser of a Hyomei outfit if it does not care ca tarrh. This outfit consists of an inhtler of a convenient size to be carried in the vest pocket so that the uar can breath Hyomei four or five times daily. With this is included t med-i icine dropper and a bottle of Hyo-i mei. The outfit sells for $1.00 and is a most economical treatment, for the inhaler lasts a lifetime and there is enough Hyomei for several weeks use, while extra bottles can be ob tained for 50c. We trust this letter will settle any doubts that may have arisen a to our willingness to refund the money for Hyomei outfit in case the purch aser i3 not perfectly satisfied. We wish to say emphatically that our guarantee on Hyomei holds good, and we will refund the money to any dissatisfied purchaser who simply states that he has used the treatment according to directors and has not been helped.
