Sugg, of Greenville, X. C. It will interest anyone who has ever had typhoid fever. Mr. Baker said in part: "I was living in Beaufort county, and on the 2d day of October, 1803, I was stricken down with typhoid fever. I had the best physicians to attend me and on the loih day of January, 189-1, I was allowed to get up. I was emaciated, weak and had no appetite. I could only drag aloDg for a short distance and would be compelled to sit down and rest. This continued for some time and I begaD to give up hope of ever getting well. I lost my position in Beaufort county and having secured one in Pitt county clerking in a store, I undertook it, but was so weak I could not do the work and had to give it up. The disease settled iu my knees, legs and feet. I was taking first one kind of medicine and then another, but nothing did me any good. I was mighty low-spirited. I moved out to Col. Sugg's about four or five months ago and commenced taking Dr. Williams' Pills. I took three a day lor aoout three months. I began to regain my appetite in a week's time, and then my weakness began to disappear, and hope sprung up with a blessedness that is beyond all telling. At the expiration of the three months I was entirely cured and could take my axe and go in the woods and do as good a day's work as any man. I was troubled with dyspepsia and that has disappeared. It is also a splendid tonic for weak people. I say, Mr. Editor, God bless Dr. Williams, may he live for a long time, I know he will go up yonder to reap his reward for he has done a wonderful lot of good. Tell everybody that asks you about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People that if they will come to me I can ceitainly satisfy them as to their merits. I always carry a box of pills with me and when ever I feel bad I take one." We were forcibly struck with the earnestness of Mr. Baker and his statement: may be rehed on. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give nev\ life and richness to the blood aDc restore shattered nerves. They an : an unfailing specific for such dis I eases as locomotor ataxia, partial pa raiysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head ache, after effects of la grippe, pal pitation of the heart, pale and sallow j complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female, and all dis eases resulting from vitiated humors in the blood. Pink Pills are sold "tn all dealers, or will be sent post paic on receipt of price, (50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50) by addressing I Dr. Williams' Medicine Company Schenectady, N. Y. Happenings Along the Eivei Side. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The sowing of small grain has about ceased, aud we notice a largt quantity of it bas been put in. J believe it to be a bog and flour coun | try now instead of hog and hominy. The cotton crop Las been about | harvested and the most of it in this i vicinity has been sold. 1 Ducks, wild geese and turkeys an / O v | somewhat scarce this fall, j Mr. M. C. Shirey of this vicinity ! mnvP(l to the S.ixh Gotba Mills where he will enter the employment of that company. I listened to the departing sermor | from Rev. E. L. Lybrand to the St Paul congregation yesterday. It was j one of the most heart appealing ser | mons ever preached in that vicinity ; We regret very much the loss of the i dear pastor. He has served thai | charge for seventeen years and it is j heart breaking indeed to give birr j up; but may the Lord bless bin: I where ever he may be, is the wish o: his ever friend, 0. D. A.

The Discovery Saved His Life. Mr. G. Caillouette, Druggist, Beaj versville, 111., says: "To Dr. King's ! New Discovery I owe my life. Was j taken with La Grippe and tried all j the physicians for miles about, but ! of no avail and was given up and i told I could not live. Having Dr. I ? ! King's New Discovery in my store I ! sent for a bottle and began its use j and from the first dose began to get | better, and after using three bottles I was up and about again.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Last eight at eight o'clock, we had the pleasure of hearing Miss Mattie Jean Adams, the teacher of elocution of Leesville college. Miss Adams was gracefully intro duced to her audience by Rev. J. G. Graichen. Her program consisted of the following pieces: "The First Settler's Story," "Sandy's Romance," "Josiah Allen's Wife on Politics," "The "Way in Which the Chichens Found Their Name," "Waking the Young Tns," "Archie Deane in a Dilemma," "Nearer My God to Thee" and "Almost Persuaded," which were pantomimes, "A Roman Confession to the Priest," "Lullaby," "Two Much Reading," "Description of a Circus," "When I j Am Married," "Quaker Courtship," I T,(afff>r " nnd fi rmrlesoue ser moil with Mother Hubbard and her dog for the subject. Miss Adams' voice, manner and gestures were pleasing and natural, and he hearers listened with delight j to her recitations. While every one j was, in this writer's humble opinion, | beautifully given, "When I Am Mar, j lied,'' ''Nearer my God to Thee,': , "Calling the Young ;Uns'; anda"De| script ion of a Circus" were specially . | fine. I A recess was taken when several . | songs were sung. Miss Adams was | much more generous than any elocuI ; tionists I have ever heard in the num, j ber of her pieces, and old and young, [ grave and gay, unanimously proi ; nounce the evening a very pleasant . i and profitable one. We hope Miss ! Adams will visit our village again. The above was written by a little I girl eleven years old ?a pupil of the | Palmetto Institute?as a part of her I language exercise the day after Miss ! Adams recited. 5 i s Shall Ws Mset Again. Ttio fnllnvvinor is mifi of most bril ^ j liant paragraphs ever written by the ' j lamented George D. Prentice: > I "The hat of death is inexorable. ' ! There is no appeal for relief from the j great law which dooms us t:> dust. I We flourish and fade as the leaves of > j the forest and flowers that bloom, ! wither and fade in a day, have no j frailer hold on life than the mightiest j monarch that ever shook the earth | with his footsteps. Generations of 5 j men will appear and disappear as ? I grass, aud the multitudes that throng ^ j the world today will disappear as j footsteps on the shore. Men seldom j think of the great event of death : | until the shadow falls across their ' own pathway, hiding from their eyes the faces of loved ones whose living ' ! smiles was the sunlight of their ex! istentence. Death is the antagonist ' | of life and the thought of the tomb 5 j is the skeleton of all feasts. We do L | not want to go through the dark j valley, although the dark passage 1 | may lead to i aradise, we do not want I to go down into damp graves, even 5 j with princes for bed-fellows. In the beautiful drama of Ton' the hope of * | immortality, so eloquently uttered ; | by the death devoted Greek, finds t : deep repose in every thoughtful soul. 5 ! When about to yield his life a sacri1 | fice to fate, his Clemanthe asks if 1 j they should meet again, to which he ^ j responds: 'I have asked that dreadi ful question of the hills that look i eternal?of the clear streams that j flow forever?of the stars among 7 { whose fields of azure my raised j spirits have walked in glory. All are - j dumb. But as I gazed upon thy livt ! ing face, I feel that there is some: J thing in love that mantles through ; | its beauty that cannot wholly perish. | We shall meet again, Clemanthe.'" H f the Baby is CuttingTeeth? ) ! Be sure and use that old and well' ; tried remedy, Mrs. Winslow's Sooth | ing Syrup for children teething. It j soothes the child, softens the gums, | allays all pain, cures wind colic and | is the best remedy for diarrhoea, j Twenty-five cents a bo!t'e. 5 \ . It is the best of all. Soliocl Companion. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The school companion is what 1 every little boy and girl who is attending school ueeds. Any one wanting to make a little child a nice Christmas present can find nothing j that he will appreciate more than j one of these companions. We often , . see a litttle boy sitting in the school j i room rubbing his tear stained eyes. ! | The teacher will ask, "Buddie, what J is the matter?'' He will reply. 'T j | can't find my pencil.'1 If he would ! possess one of these companions he would have no need of all this worry. They are very cheap and every child i should possess one. You can do no j better than to call on Mr. Ci. M. iiar| man at the Bazaar and get one for a j Christmas present. ! My little brother went down to the | Bazaar a few days ago and he was j so charmed with the beautiful article ; that he could not come home with: out one, and when he came home and revealed the treasure all eyes were turned towards it. His eyes fairly sparkled as he looked at it. He | would not have taken double the ! money he had paid for it. No, not | even three times the amount. He values it as one of his greatest pos: sessions. Every one's eyes that fall j upon it cling to it like a magnei tic needle does to a piece of steel. It is so nicely finished that nothing i more is necessary for its completion. I think that the inventor must have been very active in getting up such a complete companion, and also I think Mr. Harman was very wise in purchasing it in his store as it is a thing very much needed by all. No danolafo nr nenpil I writing pen and pen staff out. of these | companions. They have a little lock which requires practice to open. The lid is then held on securely by two little bright colored hinges which add much to its appearance. The inside is then nicely finished with little thin pieces of wood to keep things from getting mixed up. Then the , finishing touch is put on, and what | do you think it is? "Well, I will tell ! you. It is just simply a coat of varnish which gives it a beautiful golden color. I tell you it is a daisy ! with that bright colored lock and j hiDghes. I have given you a description of the box but I did not tell you what was in it. It contains everything that is necessary in the way of writing, namely: a beautiful black lead 1 | pencil, with a rubber in the end, a slate pencil, pen staff and some nice gold pens. All of this can be purchased at the Bazaar for only a small sum. j My papa promised me one of these nice companions as a Christmas present if I would send a piece to | the Dispatch; so I hope that Mr. Harman will help me out by publishing it in his paper so that all may j see and know the value of this article. Here is a diamond, here a piece of charcoal. Both carbon; yet between them stands the mightiest of magicians?Nature. The food on your ,i own body; elementally the same; yet between the two stands the digestion the arbiter of growth or decline, life or death. We cannot make a diamond; we cannot make flesh, blood and bone, j No. But by means of Shaker Digestive Cordial we can enable the stomach to digest food which would otherwise ferment and poison the system.

New County 2?ana. | It Will be Some Time Yet Before il Can Be Appeased. Columbia Register 10th. The new county mania which as sumed such an acute phase during the sitting of the convention has nol abated, but if anything has gotter worse. Every day almost the Gov ernor or the Attorney General re ceives a basket load of letters or t delegation or two in reference tc some new county scheme. It will b< sad news to all these people to learr that they can't get new counties yel nor even when the Legislature meet; in January. Governor Evans statec yesterday that he had received nu merous letters, petitions and applica tions for elections on the formatiui of some new county. He wishes t( inform all through The Register tha he was not going to do anything | about it until the new constitutioi j went into effect and until the nev - 1 1 1 - 1 - H..1 2 registration was neia unaer mat cum t tution. This will preclude any actior by the Legislature, which must pro vide for the new registration. Governor Evans will in a day oi two issue a circular letter on this subject statiDg the above facts. Ii the mean time the new county peoph will have to possess their souls ii patience. | .

Compared with j other occupations, it is as certain as I any of them. There is not a mer i chant in this country, or manufac turer, who does not meet difficulties in his business. The farmer makes more money in proportion to capita] ' and labor invested than is derived ir j many other enterprises. All classes | of business men must rely on the j cost of raw materials and the future | demands of the markets, and it maj j be added, that, like the farmer, theii ] profits or losses depend largely or i the weather also.
