But how many there are who enjoy nothing they eat, and sit down to meais only as an unpleasant duty. Nature's antidotes for this condition are so happily combined in Hood's Sarsaparilla that it soon restores good digestion, creates an sippetite, and renovates and vitalizes the blood so that the beneficial effect of good food is imparted to the whole body. Truly hunger is the best sauce, and Hood's Sarsaparilla induces hunger. * ..SO WS j' jcuji unuaax The Mossy Bale Democratic Club Keoi1sanizes? Other Mattel's.

The crop prospect is excellent, and the thought of such a compensation enables us to endure the trial. True, we are beginning to need rain, but hope that blessing will be ours before cotton actually suffers. I The health of this section seems | most excellent, and surely that is a boon for which to be grateful. Politics are a! fever heat, and the ; bitterness which lias entered into the | contest is greatly to be deplored. "Without aspiring to be a politician, we will venture to report the result of the meeting to elect delegates to our County Convention. The Monticello club went for Tillman by a majority of four. To our everlasting chagrin, be it understood that few of our AutiTillman men did not vote, and their non * i.iL. rniii appearance gave tlie victory 10 me j.mmanites, Surely it behooves our white people to he united, and we are appalled at the dissensions in the Democratic party. So far no precious lives have been lost, yet we all know what a stormy campaign we have had, and sometimes a riot has seemed imminent. May Heaven avert such a calamity. Gen. Bratton, and Colonel Earle are high-toned gentlemen, and it is surely a trial for tliem to nave tne auuieucus wlueh they have addressed on more than one occasion ., the boisterous manifestations, jeers and promiscuous charges which have been brought against men, whose honor was never before impeached, would seem more befitting negroes, and rowdies than gentlemen, who should discuss calmly the grave issues at stake. Mahone declared that he was a better Democrat than Ben Hill, yet we all know the 1 11 ? ?A n sequel, ana tne men who iuugm, UUUVl J him would have died in his defense and their eyes were opened too late. ~\Ve do not "charge Capt. Tillman with Mahoneism, but it is dreadful for any one to make charges which cannot be substantiated. From our very hearts we trust that Gen. Bratton will be our next Governor. "What was intended .as our usual communication has assumed the aspect of a political document. Surely all thougtful persons must deplore the situation. Men who stood shoulder to shoulder in 76 are arrayed against each other?brQtner against brother, son against father, ana who can foretell the end? Our Tillman's friends assure us that all will be well and we earnestly hope their predictions will be verified. Mi*. "Win. Ederington and Capt. Thomas Lyles were at their post. The infirmities of age have over taken them, yet they took the warm long drive, and had the delinquents been as true, Tillmanites would not have been as inhilnnt. All honor "to our aged, honored citizens. Tlieir example should cause the younger men, who had no reasonable excuse for absenting themselves; to hang their heads in shame. May the lesson taught of fidelity to duty, by Mr Ederington and Capt. Lyles be of " everlasting value to all -who "have received it. Hurrah for Bratton! Should he fail to receive the nomination, we earnestly hope that Col. Earle will be the next occupant of the gubernatorial chair. - c. a. s.

At an early hour on Tuesday mom- ( ing the guests from Winnsboro, con sisting of a wagon load of smiling, happy yonng ladies and gentlemen, whose faces indicated the anticipated pleasure of the trip, driven by Mr. S. 15- Crawford, together with four or five couples in buggies, all bent on extracting thp best of a beautiful day and the pleasures of a picnic in the woods. The party arrived safely at their destination, a beautiful niece of woods near the residence of Mr. Mobley, where they soon^began to disperse in little groups, making the woods' ring with the frolicsome laugh of youth.
