Rev. E. M. McKissick has been returned to the Ehrnardt charge, which will be good news to his many friends. There were no services at any of the white churches in town last Sunday, on account of absence of the pastors. G.

If you want a horse or mule, be sure to see G. Frank Bamberg's lot of stock. He has more horses and mules in his stable than any other dealer in this section. ' -Hayne F.

On Sunday morning, the 13th instant, ' about three o'clock, the barn and stables of Mrs. Ella Yallentine, over in the Fork of Orangeburg county, was destroyed by ' fire. It was undoubtedly the act of in- * cendiaries, who turned out the live stock ] before setting fire to the building. As it i is, she lost all her this year's crop of corn, t fodder, etc., and the loss is quite heavy. ] "When you are ready to buy candies, 1 fruits, fire-works, toys, etc., look for the < Greek and American flag, and you will " * get everything cheap.

Bellinger, Esq., was elected Grand Master at the Masonic grand lodge session in Charleston last week, and will * be at the head of Masonic affairs in this ' State for the next two years. There is < no man in the State better fitted for the * position and no one more zealous in his 1 work for the order. There is no brighter J Mason in the State than Bro. Bellinger, * and he delights in labor for the craft, s Bamberg duly appreciates the honor con- 1 ferred upon her by having the next grand 1 presiding officer from here. 1 Parties having com to sell can dispose of same at this office.

To get rid of this poisonous acid which produces the irritations, pains, agonies, inflammations, and swellings peculiar to rheumatism, Paine's Celery Compound should be used without Vr* richer medicine gives such prompt, cheering, and happy results. It is the only medicine that prevents a return of the dreaded disease. Paine's Celery Compound braces the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared of all irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned. Do not treat with indifference the slightest rheumatic symptoms; the early use of Paine's Celery Compound will save you weeks and months of suffering. Mr. S. D. Conway, St. Louis, Mo., was permanently cured by Paine's Celery Compound after repeated failures with other medicines and physicians; he says:? "I am 64 years of age, and have lived in St. Louis 27 years, and all this time with the exception of three years, I have served in the Engineers' Department as Inspector. Last winter I contracted rheumatism and was laid up. I tried all remedies and doctors, but all failed until I struck Paine's Celery Compound, which has made a permanent cure in my case. I have recommended it to many, and they have used it with the same result." POB HOME USE AND ECONOMY , niflmnrid Ly iMinv n%?
