C. % jA Laxative for ] Good Or faldweli's Syrup Pepsin a Safe ana Efficient Family Remedy Every member of the family is more or less subject to constipation, and every home should always be supplied with a dependable remedy ! to promutly relieve this condition. Whenever the bowels become clogged and the natural process of elimination thereby disturbed, the entire system is affected, and readily subject to attack by disease. Constipation is a condition that should never be neglected. Mrs E R Gilbert, of Millbro, Va, says that Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a splendid laxative for children because they like its pleasant taste, and it acts so easily and naturally, without griping or strain, and she finds it equally effective for the rest of the family. Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that contains no opiate or narcotic drug. It is mild and gentle in its action, and does not cause pain or discomfort. Druggists every- j where sell this excellent remedy for j fifty cents a bottle. BEV. JOHN B. WILSON DEAD. | Late Pastor of Klnastree ftfetbo 4 vim VHart'u ravovB no?/ Sumter, January 17:?General regret was felt today by his many friends at the death of Rev John Bee Wilson, for forty-six years a preacher of the South Carolina conference of the Methodist church. Death came this morning at about 11 o'clock, as Mr Wilson was sitting in: his chair by the fireside. He had been indisposed for several days,but had not been ill, his indisposition being regarded by his family as due to the bad weather. Yesterday he went j uuwii iuvvii einu 1.1110 iiiuiuiug nt dressed and had expected to go down street when death came before he left his home. The deceased was a native of Marlboro county and was 70 years of age,his birthday anniversary having been observed January 14. He served in the South Carolina Reserves during part of the civil war, being too young for active service at the front. Ever since he has been living in Sumter he has been chap-j lain of Dick Anderson camp, United j Confederate Veterans. In 1871 he| entered the South Carolina confer- j ence of the Methodist church and j was actively engaged in preaching till four years ago, when he was su perannuated. Last year, however,he was appointed to fill out the unexpired term of Rev D A Phillips as pastor at Kingstree.Mr Phillips haying been made presiding elder to succeed the late Rev H B Browne. He discharged these duties in a most satisfactory manner until the appointment of Rev G T Harmon to that charge at the recent session of conference. With his family he came to Sumter nine years ago as pastor of the Broad Street Methodist church which he served faithfully and well for four years. Sumter has continued to be his home since he first came here, For sixteen years he served as a presiding elder with the same ability and faithfulness as he I rh'H his rharces as Dastor. He married Miss Galloway, of Darlington county, and yesterday he and his wife "celebrated the fortyseventh wedding anniversary. Besides his widow, he is survived by two sons, C M and G H Wilson; three daughters. Miss Agatha, Sumter; Mrs S L Davis, Manning; Mrs M H Wells, Florence, and one brother, W J Wilson, Lockhart, Fla.

If you want hens to lay in winter you must have green food for them, | and they must be kept busy. The idle hen that sits on the sunny side of the rose bush in the back yard all day long and eats all you wilt feed her will never make any woman rich. But cover the hen house or shed floor with chaff and get her to scratching for her living, and she will fill the egg basket. For the morning feed scatter corn, cane seed, millet or any kind of grain, in a deep, dry litter and let them dig for it. At night, feed a mash of table scraps, meal, whea". Dran or anyimng you may nave on hand. At night, give a warm feed. I find parched corn ahead of most anything. This keeps the hens warm through the long, cold hours when they can not warm thernselves by exercise. Of course in our mild climate we don't need to feed them suppers every night, only on coldest nights. If you have buttermilk for hens and will beat up all the bones le:?t from meat you will not have to biy beef scrap. I always sow a few patches of rye, crimson clover, barley or wheat near the hen houses no they can get their own green feed. When we feed as above we never fail to get a fair amount of eggs, but if we just do "any old way" we don't get many and don't deserve them.?Afrs Howell in Progressive Farmer.
