' ' . Twentieth Anniversary. Quietly, but very becomingly and beautifully, Mr. and Mis. Julian D. Holstein celebrated the twes ti o th anniversary of their marriage Sun day last. Instead of two decades, it seems a3 if only a few years have elapsed since they.were a bride and groom. The imrnediate relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Holstein were their V only guests, forming a very conge nial coterie. Amid the joy of this very pleasant occasion there was a vein of sadness, caused by the ab sence of loved ones who sincevthe happy wedding day have joined the Heavenly host. By no means the least attractive feature of the cele bration was the elaborate dinner that was served in courses. We trust that our friends will be spared Jg celebrate their golden and dia mond wedding Program of Celebration. The members of the Edgefield chapter, U. D.

YOUR Account Solicited VERIFIED STATEMENT FOUND ?N BOOKLET and I read it through. I was greatly impressed with Cooper's theory that the stomach is responsible for a majority of ailments, rheumatism included. He claimed that stomach weakness, bad digestion and poor appetite impoverished the system and made it an easy prey to dis2ase of all kinds, and that if the stomach, was restored to normal condition of health and strength, bodily ills would disappear. "Next day I sent for a treatment of Cooper's New Discovery and be gan taking it. The rapid manner in which it corrected my trouble was a revelation to me, and beat anything I ever heard of. In two weeks' time I was feeling so good that I returned to work and have lost no time since on account of ill ness. The rheumatism finally left me entirely, and my general health is decidedly better than it has been in years." Rheamatism is a result of impure blood, the primary cause of which is a bad stomach.. Cooper's New Discovery corrects the stomach and drives disease from the system. "VW are agents for the-Cooper medicines in this community.-(Penn & Hol stein.) A statement of more than usual interest has been made by P N Robles, living on rural route No. 3, Floresville, Texas, regarding his recovery from rheumatism in which he says1 "I suffered with rheumatism in both feet, and was so bad ly crippled I that I was unable to perform any work for two mor ohs. I consulted two doctors, who tailed to help rae.
