One day I saw an ad. of your Electric Bitters and determined to try that. After taking a few doses I felt relieved, and soon thereafter was entirely cured, and have not seen a sick day since. Neighbors of mine have been cured of Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Liver and Kidney troubles and General Debility." This is what B. F. Bass, of Fremont, N. C. writes. Only 50c, at The Kaufmann Drug Co. Waiting for the Message. A Philadelphia schoolmistress was giving her pupils instructions in the elements of physiology. "The brain always sends a message to your arm or your leg whenever you wish to move the particular member," she explained. At last a mischievous boy aroused her anger by his apparent inattention to the lesson. "Hold out your hand!" she exclaimed. The boy did not move. "Whw rlorrf- tnn V>nM on i- von v ? * * * J Vtvu V J S/IA XAVAVA VUV J VU4 hand?" said the teacher. "Waiting for the message from my brain," said the lad. The Best Liniment. "Chamberlain's Pain Balm is considered the best liniment on the market," write Post & Bliss, of Georgia, Yt. No other liniment will heal a cut or bruise so promptly. No other affords such quick relief from rheumatic pains. No other is so valuable for deep seated pains like lame back and pains in the chest. Give this liniment a trial and you wiil never wish to be without it. Sold by The Kaufmann Drug Co. Conld not Decide. There is a story going the rounds of the Western papers about twin brothers, one of whom was demented and was ordered by the Court to be i committed to an asylum. The other brother accompanied him to the in stitution. Soon after the twin brothers had arrived at the asylum the sheriff received a telegram from the superintendent, sayiDg: 'Two men who look just alike here from your country, one for commitment. One is talking of building a railroad to the moon and the other says that the Republican party is opposed to trusts. Which is the crazy man?" FOLEYSHONEMAR tops tli* cougH snd Heals lungs Brooklan&'s Corporate Limits. An interesting civil case involving the right of extending the corporate limits of the town of BrooLland has been transferred from theLexiDgton to the courts. The case it; entitled A. I B Bachman, as Intendent of Brookland, and others against the Colombia Mills company, G. A. Guignard and others. In 1901 an election was held on the question of extending the town limits of the town so as to include the Horseshoe lake district, but this was defeated by about six votes. Another petition was gotten up for another election, but this was stopped by an injunction secured by the mill company and others, on the ground that there was not a majority of the signatures of the qualified electors attached. Now the Question to decide is whether there was a majority of qualified electors signatures attached. The case will hardly come up at the present term, but will be settled at the next term and should it be decided adversely the injunction will be made punctual.?Columbia Ev. Record. Disastrous Wrecks. Carelessness is responsible for many a rail way wreck and the same causes are making human wrecks of sufferers from Throat and Lung troubles. But since the advent of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, even ttie worst cases can be cured, and hopeless resignation is no longer necessary. Mrs. Lois Cragg of Dorchester, Mas.a., is one of many whose life was saved by Dr. King's Nsw Discovery. This great remedy is guaranteed for ail Throat and Lung diseases by The Kauftnann Drug Co.

Chicago, November 3.?Excitement prevails today among the colored citizens of Morgan Park as the result of the posting of placards throughout the town giving notice to all colored persons that they would be allowed forty-eight hours in which to leave the place. Several families have already left, taking with them whatever goods they could conveniently carry, and it is expected that others will follow their example. The order to leave is the outcome of the murder of Chief of Police Airey on Saturday I night by Mack "Wiley, who, with several of his colored friends, was out on a Hallowe'en frolic. | A Good Name. j From personal experience I testify that De Witt's Little Early Eisers | are unequalled as a liver pill.

They j cure biliousness, torpid liver, jaundice, sick headache, constipation, etc. They do not purge and weaken, but cleanse and strengthen. Sold by | all druggists. Good Advice. There is a good custom obtains in China that ought to be introduced here and that is that everyone pays his debts by the first of each January. How much better it is to begin the new year free from debt. If you are so involved that it is not possible to | pay up entirely by that date why not j wipe out a portion and begin the j New Year with empty hands perhaps, I but with a stout heart and a determination to get free from debt.
