ELY PURE OUR PROSPERITY LETTER. An Elopement-The Painter's Brush-To mato Plants. [Correspondence Herald and News.] PROSPERITY, May 9, 1892. 1 The peach crop is abundant. Thousands and thousands of tomato plants are awaiting the early rains for transplanting. The painter's bruLh in the hand of R. E. Brannan is adding a much needed beauty to Grace church. Business among the merchants is as good as ever at this season. Spring bats and spring dresses will sell. The wheat and oat crop is needing rain badly; in fact the oats are suffer ing, and unless some refreshing show ers will soon give the much needed re lief the crop will be cut short by the drought. The preliminary hearing in the case of the State vs. Lawson Counts ft'r burglary will be held to-day. Geo. B. Cromer represents the defendant and Col. Schumpert the State. The evi deuce for the State seems to be conclu sive. The stands of cotton on sandy light lands is good, and in some cases hoeing has begun. Seed planted in clay lands before the rains in April eannot possi bly make a stand. The stands of corn are fair. Complaints of its dying come from some localities. Rev. Foster Bradley, of Due West, preached a series of four ser:,ons in the A. R. P. church here, beginning on Friday night. OnSaturday be preached again, and on Sunday he preached twice. vn Sunday morning the sacra ment of the Lord's Supper was admin istered to quite a number of communi cants. The services were well attended and it is hoped much good has been done. A sensational elopement occurred in town last evening (Sunday). As the scholars in Grace church Sunday-school went to their respective places for reci tations, Mr. Sidney D. Duncan and 1i-s Rosa Simpson left the church, walked a short distance to where there was a buggy in waiting, which they occupied, drove four miles to the Rev. l M. J.

Dr. S. G. Welch went to Columbia last week by private conveyance. The friends of Miss Eloise Welch will be pleased to learn that in the re cent examination she went beyond the high standard-96, fixed by the Presi dent of Columbia Female College, with the hope of doing away with the "first honor" and simply allowing the young ladies to graduate with the distinction their meiiis deserve. Miss Welch is in a class of sixteen bright girls, several Sof whom very nearly reached the shin ing mark, and but one, beside Miss Welch, went over, and that one was Miss Ellerbe. It was the president's wish, we believe, that none might reach it, in order, we presume, to do Saway with the excitement and nervous Sanxiety attending the closing days. Col- L.

The hot supper given on last Tuesday night for the benefit of the Newberry Rifles was in every respect a great suc cess. The people of the town never fail to respond when called on by the boys. Although gotten up in a very short time, the supper was all that could be wished for, and everything passed off as pleasantly as possible. The splendid band of music added greatly to the occasion. One very interesting feature of the evening was voting for the prettiest young lady in the hall, the winner to be presented with a beautiful cake. The successful young lady was Miss Emma Hale, of Clinton, S. C. The cake was presented by Capt. S. J. McCaughrin, who, of course, always knows just what to say under such circumstances. The net proceeds of the supper were $85. This will go towards getting uni forms for the Rifles, which they are very much in need of. After the sup r had Leeen served the hall was cleared, and the young people enjoyed themsolves for several hours, engaging in a most delightful dance. The Rifles are making a strong effort to get a Confederate grey uniform, and they deserve the support of the town. Let every one help the boys as much as possible. That "Tired Feeling." The newspapers are having a good deal of fun nowadays over that "tired feeling," so much spoken of in medical adverttsements, in connection with the ill-health of females. It may be a source of hilarity to witty paragraphers, but not so to suffering women, who by overwork, antd a disregard of the laws of health, have lapsed into a condition bordering on invalidism. What most women need is to be relieved of some of the slavish work that is piled on them, and a free, but judicious use of streng thening tonics, such as P. P. P. (Prick ly Ash, Poke Root and Potassium), the greatest blood purifier and invigorator in use. Superb as a builder up of wo men, bringing back lost energy to the body, and color to faded cheeks, restor ing the appetite, and thus renewing in her tha' healthy vitality long lost. P. P. P. cures all blood diseases, such as Rheumatism, Syphillis, Gout, Scrofula, and all ulcerous affections, even van quishing that melancholy enemy of man, Dyspepsia. All druggists sell it. The medical fratertiity, backed up by carefully compiled statistics, is almost a unit in declaring that a moderate use of stimulants conduces to long life. It is also admitted that an old whiskey is by far the best stimulant that can be used. Leading physicians recommend the I. WV. Harper Whiskey, because it is pure, possessed of a superior flavor and bouquet, and is not offered for sale unti! it is old and thoroughly m-atured, Sold by Trtos. Q. BOOZERa, New berry. S. C.

Snaday Trains to be Pat On the C. & G. Road. [The State, 9.h.1 There will be an important innova tion in this State next Sunday, result ing in great benefit and .onvenience to the travelling public of this State and other States. Never has a passenger train been run over the Columbia and Greenville road on Sunday and the only attempt-to run a special excursion on the upper portion of the line made about six years ago-was promptly put down by the Railroad Commission. But next Sunday the regular trains, including all but the passenger train between Laurens and New berry, will begin to run on this road on Sunday the same as any other day. This is done in order to keep up the connections of the new quick schedule for Atlanta -which has just been ar ranged to put a person leaving here in the morning in Atlanta on the evening of the same day, as already published in the State. There has been an idea for many years that the charter of the Columbia and Greenville road would not allow the running of trains on the road on Sunday, but The State has the above on the authority of one of the officials of the road, and he says that the char ter has no such provision, and the only probable result that wil. come from the inauguration of the Sunday trains will be the loss of some land granted origin ally to the road. The new arrangement will be a boon to the traveling public and Columbia's railway advantages will be proportion ately increased. ICE, ICE, ICEL CHEAPER THAN ANYBODY, By H. C. HUNTER.

Boland and family have been on a visit to Mr. L. C. Singley and family of near Gary's Lane. Mr and Mrs A. A. Nates spent Satur day in Newberry. The Newberry merchants get quite a number of cus tomers from our quiet little com munity. We are requested to state that there will be no preaching in the academy next Sabbath afternoon owning to a communion meeting to be held at Cannon Creek churcu on that day. Rev. M. M. Kinard, of Columbia, spent a few days under the parental roof here last week. We were glad to see him in good health and have a brotherly shake of his hand again. Mr. Kinard returned to Columbia on Sat urday. Misses Mary and Eugenia Long, of Galman community, spent a few days with relatives and friends in our little village .community last week. Come again girls while the flowers are bloom ing and we will help you gather some more sweet bouquets. A few of the boys enjoyed an oyster supper at Prof. J. S.

Thanks for an invitation and we regret very much that it wasn't suitable for us to be present. Messrs. Drayton D. Cook and J. Willie Kinard open; a few days over at Fredonia last week, the guest of Mr. J. T. P. Crossons' family. The boys report having enjoyed quite,. pleasant time and we guess they will be anxious to repay their visit soon, as they speak very encouragingly of the young ladies of Lexington County. We have had some very warm weather down here for a few days and overcoats are no longer i- demand for this season. It would seem that the fruit crop is now safe from any more cold weather. The earth is getting dry and dusty. Small grain is needing rain badly and should the rain hold up a short while longer the grain crops will be cut off considerably. The crops generally are needing rain in order to get a good stand. A good _season of rain would be a welco'ne visitor just now. SIGMA. YHWY THE AMERICAN steBEsT wm2L ON~ THE MA R1ET thIs year.

To the Democratic Voters of New erry County: Having announced my ielf as a candidate for sheriff, and as I ill not have time to canvass the coun :y, I take this method of making a few tatements in regard to my candi lacy. In the first place, I must say that I ee'gnize the other five candidates as onorable and true men, and no word f disparagement shall emanate from ne about either one of them. However, : did not start out to electioneer for ~hem. I will say no more of their nerits. I am out as a candidate for Sheriff on Lhe merits of W. A. Hill as a freeman d a Democrat. No more-No less. I uave no claim on the people that 1 bould ask them for office further than his: I have always tried to do my duty n my humble way as an honest and :onscientious citizen. I shall in the future, as I have al ays done in the past, support the Democratic candidates of my choice, ccording to the dictates of my own ~onscience, and no consideration-not ven the offic'e of .'heriff-will change y position. I have never "fit, bled nd died" for my country, and am not ver anxious to do anything of that ;ind now. Neither do I claim that it s the great love I have for the people, which prompts me to aspire to oficee. I on't claim to be more honest or more ~ompetent than the other candidates 'or sheriff. But I do say that I will be *rank and honest with you in this mat I believe I am fully competent to fill he office, and I want to be your sher ff just for what money the office pays. ow while I would feel exceedingly roud of the honor to be your choice, I will not "run with the hare and bark ith the hounds." Neither will I "crook the pregnant inges of the knees that thrift may ollow fawning": I don't propose to go egging for votes, neither do I propose o treat to whiskey, cigars and barbe ue dinners for votes. If you think me ~ompetent and worthy of the trust, I ould feel proud of your support. If o think there is a worthier candi late-why vote for him, and I will be he last one to fall out with you about I have only one promise to make ou and that is this: If I should be so ortunate as to be your choice, I will do 11 in my power to make you a good nd efficient officer. Respect fully, WM. A. HILL. Saluda Old Town, May 9, 1892. A Card. Please allow me to return my thanks o my friends who have kindly pre ented my name for the office of County ~ommissioner, and to withdraw from e race. I have not the time to spare rom my business to npake the race nor ,o devote to thbe office if elected. I ap )reciate their interest and kindness, )ut will hlave to decline to be a candi late.
