Hearing Ayer's Hair Vigor highly spoken of, I commenced using this prepara. /I tion, and was so well satisfied with the result that I liave never tried any other kind of dressing. It stopped the hair from falling out, stimulated a new growth of hair, and kept the scalp free from dandruff. Only an occasional application is now needed to keep my hair of good, natural color. I never hesitate to recommend any of Ayer's medicines to my friends."?Mrs. H. M. IIaight, Avoca, Neb. Ayer's Hair Vigor PREPARED BY M. J. C. AYEH i CO., LOWELL. MASS., U.S.A. Ayer's Sarsaparilla Removes Pimples, Dangerous Diseases. Affecting Man and Beast?WarniDg from Dr. Wyman. Clemson College, S. C., Sept. 14 To the Editor of the Greenville News: Seeing in the papers that North Carolina cattle are shipped into this j State, particularly this neighborhood, causes me to ask you to give publicity to the following, requesting other pipers to copy it: To the public: Since Xorth Cartlina cattle, according to the statements of the papers, are shipped into this State and since anthrax (as" formidable, highly contagious disease to man or beast) has made its appearance near Charlotte, N. C., I wish to draw the attention of tie people to the visible symptoms and post mortem changes accompanying this disease. If anybody knows of a living or dead animal showing the following symptoms or changes on being opened after death, he will please at once communicate with the veterinary division of Clem son College, S. C., sending also, if possible an ear or foot of an animal recently dead, with suppose anthrax. Symptoms?General weakness, the animal is stupid, rises with difficulty, eyes staring, unsteady wabbling gait, trembling of the skin and twitching of the superficial muscles of the shoulders, neck, flank. Animals do not eat or chew the cud. Cows stop giving milk, breathing hurried and often accompanied with a groan. Swelling on the skin of the inside of the thigh, belly, forearm, windpipe, lower j iw. These are at first rather small; enlarge rapidly, being fairly bard in a few days. Animals die either very quickly, at times they appear all right and are dead one-half hour later, others live some fifty hours while those cases where the swellings predominate live occassionally for two or five days. Post mortem changes: On opening the body, which must be done with utmost care to avoid infection, following is found: The body is b'oated, decay setting in rapidly, blood is seen to ooze from the natun f bnrlv. The ISi upcuiugo U1 kuv blood in the veins is liquid and of tarry consistency. The spleen (melt) is four or five times as large as normally, blackish red in color, and if cut into, a tar like material flows from the cut part. The mucous membrane of the stomach and small entestines is swollen and dark red. * The heart is full of blood of a dark liquid nature. The lungs are tilled with blood, windpipe showing frothy blood. W. E. A. Wyman, V. S. Presence of Iffind. Toled i Blada. I have heard of many striking exhibitions of presence of mind in the face of sudden danger, but here is an instance of it which beats everything of the kind that has ever come under my notice. I can vouch for the truth of the stor}: Au Australian "forty-niner," wlc had struck it fairly rich at the gold diggings, was taking his nuggets and dust to Melbourne. He was walking along by the side of his team witt >' ~ ' 1 - . v* \ TO THE PEOPLE I , We Extend to Yo to Visit On AND SEE THE MOST ( FALL DR 11V THE V GLOTI The coming week we will offer sen 100 Men's Cassimere Suits at $2 90, wor 100 Men's Cassimere Suits at $3.90, wor 2l)0 Men's Cassimere Suitp, all wool, at!

Those were days when people, et- 1 pecially those who had been to the diggings, didn' stand on ceremony. Suspecting no treachery, the miner 1 thrust a hand into his pockets to get a chunk of the muchly weed. In a moment the muzzle of a pis* tol was thrust against his forehead, and the stranger shouted: "Bail up?" The stranger was a bushranger, I and that was the way that bushranI gers ordeifd their victims to threw ; U p lUril' UblJUD UV1U1C bUiiLJH lUivugu ! them. ! Without pausing an infefaLt, al I though he knew that the bushranger j had only to exercise a little gentle j pressure with his forefinger to blow him into eternity, the miner bawled J out at the top of his voice: "Bob!" There was no "Bob" around there. 1 It was a ruse conceived by the miner in the fraction of a second and imme- \ diately put into execution to distract j the attention of the bushranger. It j worked. The bushranger thought : the miner was calling a comrade to I his assistance. He looked around to j cat-ch a glimpse of the fictitious "Bob." That was the miner's opportunity. Quick as a flash he swung J his left arm and knocked the pistol | out of the bushranger's grasp. Then ! ! he brought his rifle to his shoulder j and leveled it at the bushranger's j head. In much less time than it ; takes to tell it, the situation had been i completely reversed. The bushran j ger was at the mercy of the miner. "Now," said he, "you scoundrel, : just fold your hands behind your back, and march ahead of me; if 11 T :ii you move or iry 10 run away ? win save the hangman a job by letting daylight through you." In that way the miner escorted the ! bushranger into town and handed I him over to the police. Snatched From Death. Cold Water, Ala, Mar. 11, 1892. j My little child had the dropsy fcr ! I two years.

If you do you will ' die au old maid. i Don't lose your wedding riDg; if you do bad luck will pursue you. To allow another gill to wear your 1 engagement ring not only signifies i that you are extremely foolish, but also means that you will lose the one ] you love best and who has promised to lead you to the altar. The bride who would be rich should slip a gold dollar into each shoe or slipper just before she enters the < church. ! : To receive a proposal cf marriage in a horse car or in any other public place means that your married life : will be attended by unpleasant notoriety. The rustic lover who sees a snake j when on his way to propose to his ' s veetheart should turn back and j p/opose some other time; for let him j know that a snake is an omen of ex- j J ceediDg ill import. No bridal couple should at onc9 venture from land. Stay on terra firma for at least a week. You wilj not regret it. No bride should accept any of the ! pets of her friends as gifts if she j would not have their consequent ill luck. For a young girl to sit on a table in the presence of youDg men it may b3 taken as a sure sign that she wauts a - ?i : ? IU gCL LULllXiUU. Above all thing3, don't get marlied in a cbureh near which is an I open grave. It means the worse j kind of bad luck, if not early and ! violent death. If the wedding ling is dropped | during the ceremony the bride may as weli wish herself unborn, for she will always have evil luck.

No bride, if she would have good uck, should bake her own wedding sake. To do so invites ill fortune. Kiss a bride right after the cerenony, and before the newly made lusband has had a chance to do so, md you will have excellent luck :hrougbout the year. Should a bride perchance see a joffiu while being driven to the rail -oad station prior to depaiting on ner wedding tour, she should or? I ler her driver to turn back and start i )ver again, or else she will suiely ! meet with bad luck. No bride or groom should be given j i telegram while on the way to i church. It is positively a sign of j svil. Maidens eager to wed should give j lish water heated to the boiliog point a wide berth. It means that they { will not marry for a long time, if they j attempt to cleanso dishes in water ! so hot. It is said that whoever goes to sleep ! first on the wedding night will die j first. Both should try and go to i sleep together. i Upon retiring the bride should j place her stockings under her pillov. 1 This will certainly insure good luck. If you can possibly avoid it, don't postpone your wedding. Better be wedded on a sick bed than defer the ceremony. Love and Hymen cure many ills. it- 1 , - 55: ! ixigni/ weuuiugs axe uaia tu?u j none, yet they are by no means the ; best.

Gunderman, of Dimondalc, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: *'I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was i pastor of the Baptist Church at j Bivers Janction she was brought | down with Pneumonia succeeding ! ? ! La Grippe.

In the speech of Candidate Bry&n at Springfield, Ohio, occurs, these pregnaut thoughts: "I atn gltd to talk to a people who recognize their dependence upon the farmers ot this country. I have had occasion to talk to some who seem to imagine the harder up they could mako the j farmers the better ofl' they would be. As a matter of fact the farmeis and laboiing men are foundations of society. Upon this foundation is 1 built the commercial classes, and the financier acts as a sort of roof ovtr the whole thing. You can take off the roof and put tn another, but you can't destroy the foundation without ruiuing the whole buildiug." It is not unsual for druggists to recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their customers. Mauy of them have used it tLemselves, or in their families and know fiom personal experieLce its great value iu the treatment of coughs, colds and croup.
