Such news was expected, and a great deal of rejoicing followed its receipt. ?Local news was unusually scarce on Monday. Everybody was rejoiced to know that Schley had really seen the Spanish flset in the harbor of E Santiago, and bad it bottled up. I People on the streets were so much interested in this that it was hard to [* pnli news ont of them. 4T ?It was reported in Winnsboro on Friday that Dr. F. D. Kendell, of Colombia, had smallpox. Dr. Kendell is the physician who said the disease which is- prevailing in Colombia is nothing more than chickenpox. So wepresnmehe would pronounce bis own case chickenpox. ?The telephone exchange started regularly te work on last Wednesday, and while we are generally careful not to give free advertisement to such concerns, this being in the nature of a quasi public enteiprise we do not hesitate to say that it is a very satis* factory system. The work has been' * *; well done, and tfce 'pnones are vary atisfftctory. ?Tin picnic which was to hare been given at Lebanon school honae , has been indefinitely postponed. A number of candidates had been invited, and we know they will be sorely disl^, appointed.

Uentrai office nu a [) night bell which continue* to ring I until a response is made. Subscribers are not expected' to make calif on Sunday or at night after ten o'clock, except for the purposes just mentioned. -It ii remarkable into what general trte telephones are becoming. It is k not nt all improbable that country f* neighborhoods will be connected with each other and (with the towns. We mentioned a few weeks ago that the line to Mr. Hngh Wylie's would be extended to Mr. T. L. Lohnson's. This has been done, and now Mr. Jobaston is in communication with Winnsboro and Chester and all inter(mediate points. ?It has been curreitly reported on tbe streets bere that, F. E.

The matter was suggested to me a few days ago by an old Confederate Veteran, and I now make this proposition, as the clerk's office is an office of records anyway. I will take pleas ure in procuring a book ier the purpose, and enter every name furnished me by the friends of the young men who have gone or may yet go, and file the book (in this office for inspection by the public as other records are filed. If our people fall in with this idea, let them furnish the sames of their sons, brothers or wards, with the company in wkich they enlisted, the captain's name, and the arm of service, whether infantry, artillery, cavalry or navy, engineer corps, etc. Very respectfully, R.

According to a celebrated anatomist there are upwards of 5,000,000 little glands in the human stomach. These glands pour out the digestive juices which dissolve or digest the food. Indigestion is wane of juice, weakness of glands, need of help to reslore the health of these organs. The best and most natural help is that given by Shaker Digestive Cordial. Natnral, because it supplies the materials needed 'by the glands to prepare the digestive juices. Because it strengthens and invigorates tbe glands and the stomach, until they are able to do their work alone. Sh&ker Digestive Cordial cures rflrtairilv and Dermanentlv. it does so by natural means, and therein lies the secret of its wonderful and unvaried success.
