YUS OR NO.
You ask to-night my daughter’s hand
As you would request a toy—
Do you know the weight of your demand
On a mother’s heart my boy ?
You say you love her wildly, well,
Will it last until the end of time,
Or will the ring of the wedding bell
Resound its dying chime ?
The heart you crave is a holy tiling,
So tender trusting, devotion true bring ;
Can you to her
As warm as her’s to you ?
Will you love her through the changing
vears
As tenderly as pale, now. sorrow'sjtears
When ills shall or
Becloud her sunny brow ?
When age shall bow her graceful form
And bleach her jetty hair
Will you protect her through each storm,
And shelter her from care ?
When time shall dim her sparkling eye,
And winter furrows snow,
Will your love be the last to die ?
If not, I answer no.
Remember that her future life
Would every day be yours wife ;
A loving woman, when a
To one that she adores
Has no existence of tier own
Apart from him she loves ;
She lives henceforth for him alone,
And inch’s orbit moves. J
So if your love w'U live and burn,
And bless her future years ;
If you wi’l give her in return
The trust that hfejendears ;
If you will guard her destiny
An 1 shield her from distress,
Will always live adoring her,
Why, then, i answer yes.

elderly negro man,
was killed in Columbia county on Sat
urdav night last. From reliable sourc
es wecoUect the following circumstan
ces. On Sunday morning the dead
negro was found shot through the body,
lviug ’n the public r«ad, lieai the lesi
dence of Mr. John Baston, and not far
from Appling. Three other negroes,La
ry Gibson and his son. and George
Moreland, who left Appling about 11
o’clock Saturday niglit in company
with Jake, were suspected, and, beiu^
questioned, admitted that they were
returning home with Jake, as stated,
when they were halted in the road by
several mounted men, one of whom
shot and killed Jake, and they (tlie
prisoners) ran and escajied. They
were caretui however to say nothing
about the killing until Sunday, when
they were arrested and questioned.
This and other circumstances point to
the negroes themselves as the murder
ers. and accordingly the} were lodged
n jail to await further developments.

Advantages of Advertising.

Fioni the Chrou. & Con. Fifth Trade Issue.
In compliance with your request I
send you my views on advertising:
I he advantages of advei Using aie so
potent that it becomes indispensable to
the success of every business. There
are so many methods and ways ot ad¬
vertising that it is well to know the
best. I have experimented and tested
every kind, and am free to say the daily
and weekly presj is incomparably supe¬
rior to ali others combined.
I have reference to a continuous un
interrupted advertisement from year
to year. No business can derive much
benefit from spasmodic efforts. A few
weeks or months will not answer;

: a Kiss for a Cent.
-
From the Philadelphia Press.
a kiss is an ephemeral tiling at best,
Hn( j its commercial value is hard to de
ter mine. The problem has Ix-eri grap
pled with by a Forthampton (Pa ) coun
ty jury and solved apparently to its own
satisfaction. A plaintiff in a breach
of promise case declared that her fickle
lover had kissed her a littie over 100,
oOO times, whereupon, the jury rendei
ed a verdict in her favor of 81,008.33
oni as the foreman stated, one cent for
each kiss. Taken all in all, this is not
an excess ve tax for a thing which may
Le classed among the uxurie3 of life.
