For a great many years doctors prmounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies. and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it Incur 1 able. Science has proven Catarrh to be a ' constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitutional cure on the market. It is taken Internally. It acts directly on Jhe blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

Shaw of this section, were j ? also appointed by the same high au- \ thority to meet the last important ) t meeting, but neither of the last 5 t named found it convenient to go. \ f Two seemingly small events oc- { T curred in this place. While they j ? seem of rather small importance, yet 1 f they both, if not nipped in the bud j 3 some body would have suffered. The J .! first to be mentioned is at Mr. T. I IM. Bond's home a few nights ago. j [1 About dark Mrs. Bond and the child- 2 ,! ren being at home, the first heard i | a noise at the back of the house and | J i went with a lamp to see the cause ] [ and found two, negro men leaving j [ with a large trunk. She called to I [! a nearby neighbor and the would be I j thieves dropped the trunk and made j . I a hasty get-away. The trunk be- \ , longed to a young man living there, j J j In the trunk was the wearing appa[ I rel of him and doubtless many other (: things of value. If it had been ta ken, he might have been bordering | upon the fix that Miss Flora McFlimt sey of old was said to have been in when she had nothing to wear. ' The lesson to be tau.?ht by this is to carefully fasten all rear and ' front doors as night comes to prej vent these night prowlers from gettine: in their good work. [ The next, a few nights ago at j ! late bed time passed near the store j ' room and saw a bright light.in it. j j He went in to see the cause. The store room was in a bright blaze;! water near by was used 'and the1 ' fire stopped. In a few minutes his j 1 dwelling, out houses and contents | I would have gone up in smoke and r j down in ashes. Caution, in this ; I case is, for the most careful one about the home, to examine the store room, the last thing at night, and see that the careless one has not left the store cleanings where they will set the house on fire. On Wednesday last, Mr. Baker Speer and Miss Nellie Martin went . to the home of Rev Jas. A Clotfelter \ - and by him were united in matri- | > mony.

Win- x S ter is the best season for fence building and repairing on the farm, for more than one reason, and experts : at Clemson College advise farmers to set aside some time during this month or next for doing such work of this kind as is needed. Fall nd winter are more severs on fences than spring and summer and right now, especialy, they suffer much damage from fires which q ro ofar+prl in npnrhv hfTlRllVIMvL One step in fence work, therefore. is to make certain that no piles of brushwood ajid dead leaves are left; at the fences. People scarcely re- . v alize how many fences are lost by fire because such trash piles are heaped about the fence post. One thing that makes this a good / i season for fence work is the fre- . I quency of hard rains, which leave the ground soft and in a condition that permits one to set fence poets rapidly. Finally, any job that can be done on the farm in winter should be done then, because on most Sooth Carolina farms it is the quietest , season and there is more time for carpentry and such work than at any other season.?Clemson College Weekly News. tten by Buster ||| I n Shoe Co., of pi I recent visit to ?|? y I ROM BUSTER" J I ABBEVILLE, S.
