The store of Mr. Jennings also took fire, bat by great efforts, that building and its contents were saved.

Annn?T Be union of tbe- Survivors' Association?A Very Pleasant Day for AIL The seventh annual reunion'of the Survivors' Association of the Sixth Kegiment, S. C. Y., was held at this . ' place on Thursday last. The survivors from Chester and other places ! were here in-* full force?those from points north arriving on the freight j train i^acamg nere aopac twelve o'clock; Hie procession was promptly formed, under command of Major T. W. "Woodward as chief marshal, and, preceded by the Citizens' Cornet Band, marched to the Court House. The regimental battle-flag was borne by Mr. "W. M. Corkhill, of Chester. The meeting was called to order by Gen- John Bratton, the president of the Association, who took occasion to allude briefly to the purposes of the urgiiui^uvii ^tuu ui >K5> . amiuiu re^ unions. -Subjects are'selectedj he said, pr in order that the events in the different periods in the history of the llegiment may be placed on record. lie dwelt upon the importance of these reunions as well for renewing and strengthening the ties of comradeship as for reviving and perpetuating the memories 01 tne pasr. iie saia tnai the survivors are bound together not only by the sufferings of war, but by the pangs of defeat. He then touched, very briefly, upon the trials through which, after the war was oyer, the State had been called to pass. In the general overturning of the things for which we fought, we had nought left but the tie of comradeship. It is to renew, strengthen and perpetuate this tie that we are here and that we are proud to be here. In conclusion Gen \ liberal Brat ton said: "I have now the honor and the pleasure to introduce our old Major?E.'C. McLure. Major McLure was grcete.i witft hearty and confinnons cheering. lie then proceeded to deliver his address on the subject assigned by the execu- ' tive committee?the history of the Sixth Regiment from tire battle of i Dranesville to the reorganization in ! 13C2. This address was a most credit- < i able production. The epoch of which : | Major McLure was called upon to < | speak was by no means abounding in : stirring scenes or great events, so far ' as the Sixth Regiment was concerned. 1 It was a period of inaction. Daring ! that oerJod?embracing the months of ' January, February, March and a portion of April, 1862?the Regiment was < in winter-quarter?, and did not ex- ; change a single shot with the enemy. < Under such circumstances it might : have been expected that Major Mc- ! Lure's narrative would be wanting in ' 3 ] life and interest. Such was by no means the case. In a style at onc-c : clear, strong and elegant, he put to- ] gether the occurrences of the period \ of which he- spoke, in a narrative which was heard with well sustained 1 interest, and which will form a most 1 valuable chapter in the history of the , Sixth Regiment. ] At the close of Major McLure's ad- < dress, which was heartily applauded, j "Major Woodward offered the follow- | ino- vpsnlntmn. whioh was unanimous ly adopted: liesoh'edy That the thanks of the * Association be, and they are hereby, ; extended toMajOr E. 0. McLu'rc for } his chaste and entertaining address; J and that he be "requested to furnish a 1 copy for publication in pamphlet form. 1 The minutes of the last annual meet- | ing were read and confirmed. ] The election of oincers being next ] in order, Colonel Riort suggested that ! all the present officers and comm ittees ] be re-elected. The motion was put by , Major Woodward and was unanimous- < ]y adonted. General Brat ton suggested tJiat some i , one of tbe officers thus re-elected ] should respond?as he himself felt : unequal to the task of expressing his own feelings. ; Loud calls were made for Major < "Woodward, which finally brought that ] gentleman to his feet. He said he 1 thought it^was too near dinner-time j to :make a speech; and related the story told by Mark Twain of the sea I captain who was called on to make a ' speech to the assembled passengers on , his ship. When the company were all., eacrer for the exoected speech, the cap-1 < tain ciime forward and said?"Bring 1 in a basket of champagne!" In the ( same line, Major Woodward said? "It's time to go to dinner!" Colonel Rion called the attention of the Association to the matter of print- ] ing the addresses delivered at the dif- ] ferent reunions. After some discus- i sion it was resolved that the expense < of printing be divided between the 1 Fairfield and the Chester division, and 1 that the funds raised be forwarded as ] soon as practicable to the secretary of ] the Association, to be turned over to < the chairman of the executive com- ? Liuueu. ; Capt. O. A. "Wylie suggested an ex- i cursion to Virginia on the occasion of I the next annual reuniou. He thought < it would add greatly to the interest of < the meeting, and that it could be ar- i ranged without much difficulty. i Mr. "VV. A. Sanders moved that the 1 next annual reunion of the Associa- 1 tion be held on the battlefield of Seven 1 Pines. 1 Colonel Rion expressed the fear that i there could be only a very small at- ] tendance, and suggested that before i acting on the motion of Mr. Sanders, a rising vote be taken to ascertain how many of the survivors could probably attend. Ml*. Sanders then withdrew ! his motion, temporarily, the rising J vote suggested by Colonel Rion was 1 then taken, and there were fifty-nine votes in favor of the excursion. . Mr. Sanders then renewed Ms motion i and it was unanimously adopted. 1 ; Qn motioi^of Captain Cousar, it : was referred to the executive committee to ascertain and report what arrangements can be made for the excursion, what it will cost, etc. < ' ' i There being 110 further, business, the Association then, ou motion, adjourned. Xext in order was the dinner prepared by the Fairfield division. The survivors, with their invited guests, formed in proression and marched to fhp Ar>ftr?<>mv of Mnsitt. Thftif* wnrb long tables conveniently arranged, and upon them was a most bountiful dinner. Everything was admirably arranged, and of course the fine dinner, was universally enjoyed. After dinner the survivors whiled away the time in pleasant intercourse among themselves and their friends. The evening trains took them safely back to their respective homes. The seventh reunion of the Survivors' Association of the Sixth Regiment was a gueat success. THE 31 EETIXG A.T FEASTEBVILLE. Another Fine Gathering of the Democratic Forces-Speeches by the Candidates. [REPORTED FOR THE SEWS AND HERALD.] That the i eople feel a deep interest in the Democratic cause was clearly proven oy tne immense garnering- ar Feasterville oirthelTth inst, and your correspondent regrets that he is nuable toiio justic^io that historical portion of our cofflfy. lie was not selected to "write up" the meeting, but with notes kindly furnished, and from memojff will do the best he can. The place selected for the meeting was in a beautiful grove iii "front of the Union church. The delay caused by waiting for the Crosby ville Cornet tfand gave the candidates for the several county offices a much desired opportunity to mingle with their friends. The arrival of the band, which fur nished music for the occasion, was the signal for business. That peerless gentleman, Capt. J. F. V. Legg, president of the Feasterviile Club, called the meeting to order, and in a few courteous remarks announced that the candidates for county commissioner would be the first called upon to lay 7 ' " ^ .. , IB?B?QM?MM?I??B? before that finsmst body their claims for the suffrages of the people. Messrs. Harvey, Ilinnant and Richmond, our present board of commissioners, gave the audience a history of their official work as ^officers, and asked for a continuance of the same if the people felt; that they, as a board, had been faithful stewards. Messrs. Heron ami Robertson asked that their claims be considered, and assured the people that if they should be honored with the office, the duties thereof would be: faithfully carried out according to law. j Mr. Smith, for coroner, would like to j be elccted, but like all the brethren, if i not successful, he was willing ami i would work for the chosen one. After music by the band, the presi- i dent introduced Mr. W. II. Kerr, the ! present incumbent of the office of J Clerk of Court. Mr. Kerr made a stirring speech, which was well received. John J. Neil, Esq., followed in a few chaste and well-timed remarks, in which he made known to the people his desire for their suffrages, xnd the fact that small favors would j be thankfully received and large ones i in proportion. Mr. It. II. Jennings j cvas next on the list, and in his modest j iv.iv- informed the neonle that he. too. S tvas a candidate for Clerk of Court, ; md would like to be elected, but if it ! cvas his misfortune to be left out, he | ivould be content, and would work for lis successful rival. Dr. Boyd and Captains McMeckin and Johnston told in eloquent language their respective claims for the office of school commissioner. The candidates for the House of Representatives were no^* given an opportunity to air their views on some of the issues which seem to be agitating the minds of the people. Mr. Rutland led off with an eloquent appeal for a repeal of the lien law. In fact there is very little diversity of opinion among; the candidates in reference to this subject. The logical Douglass followed, and he dwelt at some length on several important matters, and particularly the need of a whipping-post for the barbarians known as svife-beaters. lie thinks a few drawn up to the postand well strapped would entirely abolish the practice. Messrs. Hoffman, Brice and Wallace each ?poke, and your correspondent regrets that he has no record of it. Mr. Lyles, being at his own club, declined to j make a sncecli. After a delightful piece of music, Mr. Hoffman requested Mr. Douglass to return the thanks of the candidates to the club for courtesies. Mr. Douglass advanced to the front, and after paying a compliment to the president md his club, returned them thanks in bis usual appropriate style. Democracy stands as pre-eminent Lo-day in the "Dark Corner" as it did in the days of 1S7G, and with that fearless band of true and tried patriots, ivith a Legg for a leader, there is no :langer of the Democratic boat ever stranding, one is noaung on to victory, and before the Ides of November the* flag at her masthead will be inscribed, "Democracy has triumphed!" K. The Meeting at Midway. As the canvassers for Democratic honors move around the interest of the people seems to increase. By instrucstrnctions from the County Executive Committee, the White Oak and Woodward Clubs met the canvassers at Midway on the 19th inst. At an early hour the grove around the Presbyte?U*1 ??/?U UA<1 A*A/*1 ttt* L'iLUl (JilUiUii was >vlLLi an ; ^ager crowd of ladies and gentlemen, cvatching for the arrival of the distinguished personages?so-called candidates. It was soon ascertained that :he centre of attraction was at the base if a beautiful and pleasantly shaded declivity, whither we wended our way, ind there found a stage erected, in front of which seats were provided with a seating capacity for about four hundred persons. The ladies soon filled one side and a portion of the roting population the other side of the seats, and a large number were com pelled to stand or scat themselves 011 terra firraa. The genial and accommodating Mr. W. L Rosborough, president of the Woodward -Club, presided. His programme was well arranged, and perfect order prevailed. At the proper hour Mr. Rosborough arose and in a i short bnt appropriate address announced the object of the meeting, and then introduced to the audience Capt. Hayne McMcekin, candidate for school commissioner. His subject was the importance of education, his advocacy of the present school school system, aii? the difficulties that snrround it,., which, he said, must in time be overcome." He gave us some very plain facts and figures. Dr. Boyd was An Uia Kef otwI TTToe iiyai vu iuv/ xiouj auu tt c*o luui vuuvvu as the present incumbent in the office of school commissioner, for re-election. The Doctor told us something about the condition the Kadical regime left the county common schools when they were kicked cut; their rascality, and the heavy debt left was forcibly hanr died, and how it wa3 paid, and the struggle it cost was satisfactorily explained. Captain Johnston explained that being amoug his own people he felt satisfied that the cousin clubs would not forget him on the first day of September, and he would therefore wav to others. This brings us down to the county commissioners. Messrs. Harvey, Hinnant and Richmond, the present board, urged their claims for re-election on the grounds of competency, which they urged by showing that they had raised the price of county paper from twenty cents 011 the dollar to par value or nearly so, and that they had a largo surplus to their credit. They also offered to open their books for inspection and compare the financial condition of Fairfield county with any other in the State. Messrs. Heron and Robertson, on the other hand, are confident of their ability to run the county affairs, and nlecteed their fidelity to the laws regulating the office of county commissioner. Candidates for coroner were next called, and Mr. Smith was eloquent in his appeal to be allowed to look after the unfortunates, whose untimely end he might deplore after interment, Mr. R. F. Martiu has just entered the canvass, and his maiden speech was of a milder order, but there is 110 telling what savage notion he may take after a few days' talk on the duties that are incident to the office. Mr. Martin justly claims that the office is an important one, and bears the same relation to the sheriff as the Vice-President does to the President of the United States. Mr. W. H. Kerr, the Clerk of Court, was now introduced as a candidate for re-eioction. . He made a short address, and explained to the audience that the office was non-political, therefore he nonld see no reason for his entering the canvass as a politician. He thanked them for past favors "and hoped they would again honor him with their con ammmKaammmmmmmammmmmmm ?a??mem | fidence. John J. Neil, Esq., "being in- ; I troduced informed the audience that j he would not urge in a set speech his . j claims to the office or his personal | merits, hut that he was a candidate ' | and there to solicit the suffrage of the people. He explained that the office was purely clerical and did not require any discussion, and assured them that . j whether or not he or one of his competitors was successful he would cor- ; ! dially support the nomination. Mr. i R. H. Jennings nofo comes to the , front and informed Ills friends and the citizens generally that he, as a Democrat, was pleased to be present i on this occasion to present his name as < a candidate and claim the suffrage he , was entitled to according to their csti- ! ination. ' Mr. Hoffman is the first called on ! the legislali-ve list. He favors a bi-en- , nial session of the Legislature, a State , convention in reference to the lower- ( ing of taxes, legislation in reference , to adulterated food, and a repeal of , the lien law in 1SS7. Mr. Lyles favors, j the elevation of the white race, and : thinks money in the pocket is better , than Yankee capital in the South. Mr. Wallace favors the election of all of- , ficers except school commissioner, and ( thinks that should be aii appointive < office, lie is opposed to allowing dis- , abled soldiers a small pension from < the State. Mr. C. A. Douglass thinks , representatives shonld be chosen for j their fitness and ability for office. He , in a very foicible manner argued ill < favor of the State pensioning her dis- ' abled soldiers on a small scale. He , felt sure she could and ought to do , something for those who "had iin- perilled their lives in defence of her j honor, and had now, in a measure, be- j come helpless. Mr. Thos. S. Brice, j among other things, favors the keep- j ing of taxes at home?that is, let every j county receive the benefits of local n taxation. Several other candidates were called j for,'but failed to answer. The president then declared the , meeting closed, and announced the j most jovful news of the day?dinner. ; ' * *? ^ J ? J i.~~A Si.

( The ladies, with their attendants, re- , paired to a table about one hundred ] and fifty feet long-, and spread upon it , such a repast as would please the taste j of the most fastidious. It seemed to , consist of everything that the fair liand of woman could prepare. Let us era- . phasize a little. We are almost per- ] suaded that the ladies are better Demo- , crats than the men. They talk more, ( listen better, and feed higher than the highest conceptions of man can reach. , But that dinner. It was sufficient for , all that vast assemblage, and the sur- . plus would have fed many more. "We ! would like to particularize a little and mention the names of some of the mothers and their fair daughters, but since we are not acquainted with all their names we fear it would be tread ing on dangerous ground, and leave them with a hope that that happv thrice happy bachelor candidate, and another ( who' he supposed was equally ag happy, will call upon them soon and ! make them a speech that will prove 1 more pleasant to them tuan an tne i thanks that we could write on a town- ( ship of paper. The meeting was a success in every J sense of the word, and .since the ladies 1 are beginning to lend their presence to < the Democratic meetings enthusiasm : will increase till in November old Fairfield wiil roll up such a Demo- ! cratic majority as will dishearten the 1 boldest Ead left on her soil.

'We 1 regret that we are unable to furnish I a fuller report of the proceedings and s the pleasures of the day. i The Meeting: at Cedar Creek. Messrs. Editors: On Friday last we { accompanied one of that class of our ] population who have become almost < as numerous in our county as the com- ' mercial traveler, to Cedar Creek, where ; he and the rest of the brood expected to win immortality on the stump, and < votes sufficient to insure their success. 1 Whether or not they realized their expetations is yet a problem that would : defy the genius of Archimedes. We arrived ai tne piace ciesuneu. 10 witness the sagacity of the aspirants in the j line of vote-making, about 11 o'clock < | a. m. There wc found a goodly host ; of these martyrs to the wishes of their > "many friends" awaiting like fabled i Patience the gathering of the beauty and chivalry of this section, who came streaming into the number of about two or three hundred. By this time we had had the opportunity of examining the locality, which in every way suited the occasion. It was in a beautiful grove of lofty oaks occasionally intermingled with pine which seemed to oar highly wrought fancy to bear a strong resemblance to that so celebrated in Athenian history. Mr. Gunnell the president of the club introduced the speakers in a brief bnt pointed style. "We would iike to make a few quotations from their speeches,- but owing to the great number it would be impossible to quote from all and therefore ' ' ill maAia'h AiAnt fli A nlflOOTIVA of W U >Y 111 1 UllilJLU 1LU1I1 tuu v vx giving extrrsts from any. Suffice it for us to say that they all acquitted themselves in a manner worthy of their aspirations, and to the satisfaction of an intelligent audience. After the different candidates had spoken we retired a short distance from the stand to regale ourselves with a splendid banquet provided by the hospitality of the Cedar Creek Clubto which impartial justice was done alike by candidates and constituents. The repast over, the concourse of youth and beauty resigned themselves to the mild but captivating influence of the god of the bow and quiver. Cedar Creek knows, 11 any ciub does in the county, how to make these oc casions enjoyable; and it was with regret that we found the time had arrived to wend our way back, to our respective habitations. " Veritas. The Meeting at Iiidgeway. Messrs. Editors: Your correspondent has watched with interest the Democratic campaign in Fairfield county. Observation proves the deep interest of the people in their efforts to sustain a government that is made by the people and for the people. Before we enter into the details of the meeting at Ridgewav, we would like to notice an error of ours made at Midway. In reporting the proceedings of that meeting we omitted to mention the uame of our talented young friend Mr. .Rutland. It must not be presumed to be intentional on our part. *\Yc consider ourselves neutral' on paper ancl we liopc the candidates for the different offices will accord to us the position of a friend to all. The meeting at Ridgeway was conducted by the presidents of the respective clubs?Thomas of Ridgeway, -V- ' Harrison of Longtown, and Sligh of Bear Creek. These gentlemen were remarkably happy in the introduction Df the several speakers.

All matters of public importance were fully discussed, and since sfl! the candidates substantially agree, we see no necessity for a repetition of their remarks in this article. The candidates for school commissioner urged their respective claims to Lhe office. The gentlemen are all well qualified for the "office, and we feel assured that the educational interests 3f the county will not suffer by the election of either of them. The can'Hfin too fX?. r\f fnnrf irrnonv fn :xeitc more Mian usual interest. We would like . to give a digest of this important office, but will leave the matter in the hands of the voters of the lounty. The candidates for county commissioner showed up their respective claims in a manner that is well worthy 3i the consideration of the voting population of the State. The death roll was then called and Messrs. Martin and Smith responded. Xot knowing the coming casualties, they could only promise to execute the duties of the office as prescribed by law. Col. J. P. Thomas, Superintendent 5f the South Carolina Military Academy, located in Charleston, delivered in address in the afternoon, which was full of interest and wholesome advice, 3ut since it does not materially differ in point of issues from speakers who had preceded him, we do not think a juotation necessary. Colonel Thomas is a ready speaker and his -remarks tverc.listened to with interest and feeling. . To prove that the dinner was a success, it is only necessary to mention 'hat Messrs. Davis aud Tidwell were iu charge- of the preparations for the iiuner. The order of arrangement ivas insured and positively carried out ay Messrs. Bolick and Jenkins. These rentlemen, the cooks and the committee 011 grounds used every effort in their power to please all. They were aot wanting in courtesy, and we must ill confess the abundance of good things prepared by Ridgcway, Longtown aud Bear Creek Clubs for the , canvassers and their friends.

Tho Crop Prospect?Local Politics?Miscellaneous Items of Interest. Moxticello, August 21.?Up to ten 3avs ago the farmers were in good spirits and hopeful of making a pretty fair crop in spite of the many drawbacks, but "misfortunes come not .as single spies but by battalions," and a long dry spell with a cool east wind , bas blasted their hopes as well as their j1 :i-ops.<: Fortunately, the campaign fur-! Irishes food for thought, and they are j lblc to divert their minds from their'|! blighted hopes by entering into a dis- : :ussion as to the merits or demerits of : ihe various candidates who are now \ seeking' to beguile "the dear people" ; into voting for them. The Monticellc Club will hold an important meeting on Saturday for the purpose of arranging for the reception :>f the candidates on the 28th inst. Ihere will be a barbecue at Monticello 511 that day and a large crowd will be expected. The fame of the candidates bas preceded them arid we shall be ! most wofully disappointed if they do i not lavor us with eloquent speecne3 on : [hat occasion. It is rumored' that j several "erring brothers"' who by an ' unfortunate mishap got raked into the ; Greenback fold in the last campaign; will apply for rcadmission to the Dcin-; Dcratic party. To all such there has | been a cordial invitation to return and ! doubtless "there will be more joy over one sinner that repenteth than" over' ninety and nine just persons which ! need no repentance." There is much talk of building a | school house at this place. Since the j old JefFerson Academy was burnt the ; want of good accommodations for pupils and teachers has been long' felt. This is a step inthe right dircc- j tion, and others will be taken which will doubtless end in success. This! neighborhood was justiv proud of the Jefierson Academy, for many whose ; names are now written in the pa^es of j history first learned to read their A, B, C, within its venerable walls. The j friends of education will rejoice at the | success of this, laudable undertaking, j Several citizens of this neighborhood have just returned from a prospcctingf j tour through the counties 01 ?cigeneia j and Newberry. They were in search I of better land and were very much! pleased with the country through i which they passed. They report good j crops in both counties 'that tliev visited. " ; Our community has been called! upou to mourn the loss of one of its ' most estimable citizens. Mr. John ; Robertson, after a protracted illness,! died and was buried in the Methodist j church-yard at this place on. Tuesday j last. Iu the trying times of '76 Mr. Robertson was always to be found at the post of duty. Since then he has been faithful in the discharge of his duties as citizen, husband and neighbor.

Editors: The report of your correspondent in reporting the proceedings at Midway does me injustice, in so far as he represents mo as opposed to State aid to maimed Confederate soldiers. On the contrary I favor a pension, but am unable to perceive how the State can provide for this additional expenditure in her impoverished condition. A. M. Wallace, j [We should be sorry to have any I gentleman placed in a false light by anything appqaringin these columns, whether in the shape of a report or by any other means. As between the different aspirants the position of The News and Herald is, of course, that of absolute neutrality. It aims to give all the same opportunities, and to show no favor to any.

Editors: I move that this absurdity be abolished, and its per I diem saved to the town. I do nqt see any good accomplished by this Board. The town at night is a variegated nosegay of stinks. To have a Board of Health, while hogs are allowed to be raised within the corporate limits, is a ridiculous nfmmi ! *? i?a?8M??? refinement. While these generators of typhoid and scarlet fever and preparers of the system for rheumatic affections are allowed to exist, all other precautions are useless. This is simply providing for kid gloves when ] one is out at the elbows?plucking out a mote and not seeing the beam?strain- ] ing at gnats ana swanowmir caraeis > and hogs. Hygea. _ A CARD.

She was coughing incessantly t and at times would discharge quantities of t pus from lier lungs, could not sleep or re? tain anything on her stomach, and we thought it only a question of time when life would be compelled to give way to the ' fell destroyer. After all other remedies had failed, we got Brewer's Lung Restorer 1 and began it in very small doses, as she e was very weak. She soon began to im- c prove; continued the remedy and was re- c stored to life and health, and is to-day better than she has ever been before. I regard her restoration as nearly a miracle, . for. which she is indebted to Brewer's Lung Restorer. *" J R. W. Bonner, Macon, Ga.

In the spring of 1SS21 was attacked with < a very bad cough, which continued to k grow worse until fall, \yhen I got so weak ' that I could not get about. I tried a creat 1 many kinds o? modioine but continued to grow worse. I was notified that I had consumption and would probably die. Dr. , Ilolloway finally told me to try Brewer's ; Lung Restorer. They sent to Ward's Store , and sot a bottle and I commenced taking it right away. After taking two or tiiree doses. I began to improve, and by the time ! I liad used up one bottle I was able to get J on my feet again. I an; now in excellent ' health. I am confident that the Lung Restorer saved my life and my neighbors are of the same opinion. It is-the west Lung Remedy ever made in' my vopinion. Dr. II. promised me that he w< aid write to the manufacturers and tell them of the -wonderful cure it made in my case. Statement of Mr. Benj, Keanidon. Early in November, 1SS1, while sewing on the machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in her 'side, which was soon foLlowed by hemorrhages from her lungs and a severe cough. Fever commenced, she could neither eat nor sleep, and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton. I"- i Attending physician told me that he thought one of ner lungs was entirely gone. She could not retain the .most delicate nourishment on her stomach, J the'.i agreed with Dr. Sullivan, niy family physician, to call Dr. llolloway in consultation. They made a final examination of the patieni and pronounced the case hopeless. Dr. llolloway then suggested the Brewer's Lung Restorer as a last resort. I sent for a bottle and gave her a dose. I found that she could retain it on her stomach and after about the third dose, I began to ! notice some improvement in her condition. ( I continued the medicine regularly, and by . the time she had taken two bottles, she was able to walk about the house. She is now in better health than she has enjoyed for several years. I believe that Lung " Restorer saved her life. Wo have a family of six children, somo of them grown." ] Mr. llerndon's postoffice is Yatesville, Upson county, (ja.
