Thirty Year's War. —For mon than thirty years DeLand A - Cos have been waging war upon im pun and adulterated Saleralus and Soda by placing within the reach of even body a perfectly pure article. Tin goods are No. 1. Lancaster Herald: On Wednes day last Mr. John Tennant and wife, living eight miles north of this city went to Feunimore. leaving three children at home —a little girl aged about nine or ten years, and two sons younger. The children while playing in the fields, found what they thought to be some car rots and ate them quite freely. Soon afterwards one of the boys complained of being sick and they started for the house, and one of them fell into a fit when near the door. The little girl carried her younger brother into the house and nut him on the bed, but the older one she could not lift. She then went to one of the neighbors. Mr. Fivecoat, about one-fourth of a mile distant, and told the lady tint her brothers had been eating some roots and were sick, and that one of them had his eyes rolled up. The lady instantly ran to their assistance and on reaching the house, found both boys in terrible spasms. The little girl then went to the neighbors a'ain to have the husband go after the father and doctor, when she re turned home and fell into a spasm Per.self The root they had been eating proved to be wild parsnip, and fortunately for the children, the old adage, ‘"nothing is all evil was true in this case, for the pars nips roots proved to be a terrible emetic as well as a deadly poison, and by the time the physicians arrived the danger was nearly over. The Democrat wishes to ofler a word of explanation in regard to a disposition on the part of envious publishers to make light of the pic tures of public men which appear in many newspapers throughout the country. There is a great injustice done by the wholesale denunciation of these cuts. For while the majority of them are in themselves first-class, there is ail the difference in the world in tnc manner of printing them. As many casts are taken from the original cut there is no great temptation to slight the work of engraving. In regard to printing from cuts a well known engraver recently expressed himself as fol lows: *'A vast deal depends upon the printer. Indeed the engraver is en tirely at the mercy of the man who puts his work through the press. Sometimes a very line cut gets into the hands of a poor pi inter, becomes filled up with ink, and prints so wretchedly that we are ashamed to sec our names affixed to it as en gravers.'' It is almost impossible to print cuts respectably in a daily paper; because the paper and ink used are nearly always of cheap grades, while the press work is ex ecuted so rapidly that sufficient care can not he taken to print cuts prop erly. In weekly papers too, poor press work is the rule and not the exception. The features of a picture cannot he properly brought out if instead of fine ink a composition resembling roof paint is used and an imperfect impression is given. IVinting a portrait with a chunk of roller com position stuck in one eye, a botch of ink on the nose, and the whole filled up with too much ink, gives a cut a dccidclly different ap pearance from that intended by the engraver. The pictures presented in The Democrat arc good like nesses of the men whom they rep resent. PERSONAL. Mrs. Wm. Hewett is visiting with her parents, Mr. :iiui Mrs. Anton Rfrg. Mrs. John Wasley is here from Dixon, 111., visiting relatives ami friends. Al. Horning has accepted a place in Drivers and Bin's book and drug -lore.- Darlington Republican. F. M.
