t Question FLEMING BROTHERS Laurens, S. C. Gentlemen:? Kindly advise me as to whose initial, the groom's or the bride's, should be engraved on a gift of silver table ware. Answer Laurens, S. C.# Oct. 28, 1912. Dear Madam:? Your inquiry regarding the cor rect engraving for wedding silver has just been received. There is no set rule, nnd authorities differ as to which is correct. It is irguud by some that wedding presents are gifts to the bride and hot to the groom, but it is the opin ion of the majority that the groom's initials should mark the gift?for why should the silver that she will use in common with her husband all her life bear the initial of a name that is no longer hers?-in fact, probably many of her guests would not be familiar with her former name. This latter custom prevails in the fashion centres of Europe and America, and has generally peen re cognized by us as the correct form, except, of course, where the gift partakes of a strictly personal na ture, such as ?Tbilet Articles, Jewel Cases, Photo Frames, etc., when the bride's initial is permissible. Thanking you for this opportunity of serving you, we remain Yours very truly, FLUI BROTHERS JEWELERS THE VERY BEST LAUNDRESS seldom makes a success of it when it conies to handling men's shirts, collars and cuffs.

C ?I HILLSIDE NEWS. * HIllBvillo, Nov. 4,.?Mr. and Mrs. W. H. L. Thompson and son. Carl, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Chapman, of Luna, Sunday. Messrs. J. A. and K. C. Peden at tended the Hoys' Corn club show at Greenville. Saturday. E. 0. Peden won a fine pair of shoes on the best, history and secord of corn. S. C. Weathors of Fair view was In our section, Sunday. W. H. Thompson and family were In Greenville Wednesday, attending the Rlngling?Hros. show. The Hillside corn club boys have gathered their corn. Here are the names of five of the seven boys and the number of bushels each produced on his acre: F. L. Weathors, 46 bushels, 40 pounds. E. C. Peden, 38 bushels, 13 pounds. Andy Tolllson, 43 bushels, 8 pounds. J. C. Wood, 34 bushels. JuniUs Thomason, 43 bushels. Their yields were remarkable ones, considering how poor wero their chances, owing to the long continued dought in this section, which badly hurt corn that was planted In May. Their record yields on nh acre sets a precedent In farming that should be followed by every farmer who believes In progresslveness. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. L. Thompson and G. W. Adalr, went to Slmpsonvllle. Tuesday. Hillside Is getting ready for a "bumper crop" in 1913. Hillside's two score farmers will make a greater ef fort?will go at more expense in mak ing the yield of th* coming year eclipse that of 1912, both In yield and price. They will cause It to be worth a greater value, In that they will be more able to hold their cotton until the price "suits their notion". They, at last, have awoke from their long sleep of backwardness, and' in this progressive ago they do not, and will not, belong to the roar. They must, and will, go to the front. Four times as many potatoes will be planted in 1913, as there were in 1912. If sea sons prove favorable there will be 1000 more bushels of corn produced next year than this. The production of sweet potatoes in this section next year, will be Increased 1000 bushels. There will also be an Increase of about 1000 gallons of syrup. This means progress. Our farmers are fast turn ing from the Ideas of old, and In th'is day of progresslveness. they wish to try the new ideas. The land of Hill side is valuable. With proper cultiva tion, and favorable seasons Its pro duction will exceed that of nny other community in upper Carolina. We need more progressive farmers in this section. Our present corps of farmers is alright, but our quantity Is not suf ficient In twenty years Hillside has been transformed from a wilderness j Into a farming section that is surpass ed by no other in South Carolina. Hillside school will commence, Mon day. It will start on Its task of teach ing "young America" the new Idens? the new thoughts?of the present day. Miss Jones, of Slmpsonvllle, Is the principal. Will Hopkins Is the as-, slstant. This school has an enrollment 1 of 75. It is hoped Miss Joner. will en joy her work here. S. C. Cox and son. L. E. Cox, went to Slmpsonvllle, Tuesday. C. L. Weathers made a business trip to Fork Shoals, Friday, selling cotton at 11 cents. Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Weathers and mother, Mrs Leila Weathers, were tho guest3 of W. A. Nelson and family, Thursday night. Cotton is fast being picked In our section People will soon bo done with this year's; ha/vest, The cotton fnrm ei of Hillside can hold his profit in an open hand without fear of It being taken. Hillside will lose three of Its farm ers another year. J. H. Pace, H. C. Nelson and Milledge Melton will all move out of our section. We are sor ry to lose these farmers, but there's st.me consolation to know that there are other farmors coming to take their places. Messrs. Rob't. Abercromble, J. II. Pace, W. M. Tolllson and G. F. Weath ers, were all In Fork Shoals, selling cotton, Friday. Master James Eskew has been very 111 but Is much Improved at this writ ing- We hope him a speedy recovery. Messrs. Henry Pace and Millodge Melton were In the Wart^en section, Saturday Maeter Hroa'dus Knlgnt Is very ill. at present He haa something like brdntrhrtls. We sincerely hope that h; will soon be well. The members of HU'.slde church In conference third Sunday, voted to re tain Rev. E. O. Rosa of Oroenvllle as pastor of Hillside churoh for another year, In. securing Mr. Ross, Hillside has done exceptionally well, for he'ls ontrof the most promising young pas tors that ever ci\me Into Hillside, and besides Mr. Ross has helped Hillside a*i no other man has. .

Oct. 26.?Well V missed Ringllng's show, I had been thinking about it and the morel thought the worse 1 wanted to go. I got up soon that morning and hustled around lively, but my good wife knew the signs. She advised that I stay in the house, as 1 was threatened with grip, and it was raining. I went up town but I noticed my storm coat was missing and she didn't hunt it up as usual, the show trains was passing, and other folks wns going, and 1 knowed If a clown stuck his head out of a car, I was a goner. But I remembered the rolling ?pln message nnd turned my back on worldly amusement, and went home to cutting stove wood. But I heard about one clown leading his little dog by a well rope and another trimming his corns, and I determined to see a show, even If it caused conjugal infilicity. So yesterday I slipped off to the Ab beville fair, to see the man fly. It was a great fair. The farm exhibits were fine, the. racing good, then they had Ita, the know all, there and the big gest crowd ever. But most folks had come to see the man fly, and he kept cootrlng with his old concern until every one thought it was like that Anderson airship, but about half past four he got his doofunny to act ing and made a beautiful flight. He went all around town and at last got mixed up with a bunch of buz zards he landed where he started and in a few moments made a second flight. The fair was Hue as fairs ko. but 1 haven't gotten over missing the cir cus. Capt. Smith the opera house man, from Anderson, was in town today, advertising "Baby Mine'' and when Smith, comes fun follows: So 1 am a going, and I challenge John CaUaham to got up as big a crowd from llonea Path as Donalds will send. CaUaham says a chaperono is a lady companion and a man companion is a Chaperoner, so Donalds will have both, and I am the chaperoner. So boys get your partners you couldn't take 'em to the circus on account of the uncertain ways the clowns dress and the onmanerly way the act. But you can take them to the settling of this baby difficulty. D. M. Humphreys. HAIR THAT GIVES FATHER THE LAUGH" We are just about as old as we LOOK People Judge ut, by the way we LOOK The man or woman with grey hair it be ginning to get in the "Old Timer'? Class." This Twentieth Century does NOT want GREY hairs-it wants the energy of Youth. The big things are being done by the YOUNGER generation. There's a sort of "Has Been" look about those "Grey Hairs." There is always one to criticise and smile scornfully. Father Time is s stern disciplinarian. Get the best of him. Give him the laugh. Do not be a "Has Been." It'a unnecessary.
