King, Water Valley, Miss., cured by 1 > Ayer's Sarsaparilla "For five years, I suffered untold misery from muscular rheumatism. I tried every J known remedy, consulted the best physicians, visited Hot Springs, Ark., three times, spending $1000 there, besides doctors' bills; but could obtain only temporary relief. My flesh was wasted away "so that I weighed only ninety-three pounds; my left arm and leg were drawn out of shape, the muscles being twisted up in knots. I was unable to ' dress myself, except with assistance, and could only hobble about by using a cane. I bad no appetite, and was assured, by the doctors, that I could not live. The pains, at [times, were so awful, that I could procure relief only by means of hypodermic injections of morphine. I had my limbs bandaged in clay, in sulphur, in poultices; but these gave only temporary relief. After trying ' everything, and suffering the most awful tortures, I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilte. Inside of two months, I was able to walk without a cane. In three months, my limb3 began to strengthen, and in the course of a year, I was cured. My weight has increased to 165 pouuds, and I am now able to do my full day's work as a railroad blacksmith."

I stated to you sometime ago that I would give my views ou the road law. The present law is an old slave institution. In that period when a j wealthy man passed the age of fifty he still owned slaves that worked on j the road. As it stands today, it ; makes no difference how much real ; estate a man owns if he has passed i the age of fifty or lives outside of | the county, he does nothing for keep- | ing up public highways. The thing j in a nut shell is, a mans sons are j paying his tax and the poor men are ; paving the tax for the rich. As a j i-i'lo ? rinh man's sons do not work ! on public roads. You may turn the ! question of road duty as you please , it is a tax. The greatest benefit of the public highway is to the real I estate through which it passes. There { is one body of land lying in Fork ; township containing seven thousand acres, the parties who own it live cut of the county, there is a public highway through it for six miles, besides there is other public roads touching the same lands. Now what is the j remedy ? Pass a law requiring present road hand to work one day : anually or pay fifty cents commutation tax. Five thousand dollars a i year for two or three years will put ! the roads iu good condition. The j commutation tax will raise at least j two thousand, five hundred dollars, j I Now raise an equal amount by taxaI tion and work the road by contract. The assessed value of the property ' of the county is S3,471,430. To raise a fund of $3,000, a tax payer whose I property is assessed at one thousand | dollars, would have to pay one dollar ' and fiteen cents. I could go on and show how it would effect different families, but no more at present If it takes more talk I am ready to give tt n A __ it. >). jti. uoudis. Irmo, S. C, Oct. 22, 1896.

A Girl's Recovery. i th j tr< Miss Lottie Penticoff Tells of Her ' ^ Long Illness -The Story Should Be Read by All Young Girls. i ca mi da From the Democrat, Freeport, 111 1 1D| A popular youDg lady is Miss Lot- W( tie A. Penticoff, who resides at 283 Charles Avenue, Freeport, 111. She wc was engaged as a clerk in a large f0] fruit market and grocery store for m( over a year, but had to resign her ajj position on account of her poor Koolfll ^ 11 UVUtbU. till When she was fourteen years old she was troubled with irregularity of the pe menstrual periods and afterwards fai with entire suppressions. She grew pale, sallow and thin. Every trace rjr of color left her face and even her f0j lips were entirely devoid of color, in Her blood was entirely improverish- its ed. Her appetite was very poor and 801 she could not sleep well. When she [iv arose in the morning she felt no S0l more refreshed than when she retired frc at night. She was always tired and ag lost all ambition for everything. to '//Y 11 I fac MISS LOTTIE A. PEXTICOFF. sjQ She was also bothered almost con- tio stantly with the headache and a pain ed in her side .and back. She would toj sometimes feel so weak she could the scarcely walk. She had rheumatism Th in her lower limbs, too. They were bu badly swollen and her people were the afraid she would have dropsy. She jt t was treated by two of the best phy- cor sicians in Freeport, but without the wo slightest help. One day her mother"read about a case similar to her daughter's that was cured by Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. She told her T6S daughter about them and said Lottie ought to try them because the ci 13 ( doctors cotild not help her. So she ^ procured the pills and before she had taken the first box she was very ^ much improved, her appetite grew better and her sleep more refreshing. t She continued to take the pills for tvit six months. While taking the pills she gradually improved until she *esJ was entirely cured. ma Now she is in robust health and wa^ she is no longer troubled with that ?* tired feeling. She has no more headaches and the pain in her side * is also gone. She has not felt any S0D symptoms of rheumatism since she used the Pink Pills. Her complexion has lost that pale and sallow look and she has gained in weight. ? - - - - - rrm She is now in perfect health and feels better than she had for years before ^ she used the pills. She feels coDfident that she owes her health and SP1! even her life to Dr. Williams' Pink ^ ^ Pills for Palo People. She thinks ?u it is perfectly marvelous how well " she now feels after all she suffered. in She said: UI can heartily reccom- no* mend the Pink Pills to anyone or * suffering as I did." ma^ Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain na^ all the elements necessary to give mo1 aew life and richness to the blood SeE and restore shattered nerves. They ire sold in boxes (never in loose form, by the dozen or hundred) at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and ^ei may be had of all druggists or di- eve rectly by mail from Dr. Williams' e(lu Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.

We assume ^ that all good mothers wish to see their children obedient, truthful, in- j telligent, but do ail teach them to be j happy? Some may say: "This too evasive a thing to be controlled, children are naturally happy," Thank ^ God, the dear little ones do start j Pac upon life's pathway with hearts ready j uev to absorb all the sunshine that comes 1S c to them, and now is the opportunity w^( to make their world so rich, so beau- SP1] tiful, that its rays may stream over j seV( into mature life, and carry with it j V some of the freshness and enthusiasm but that gladden childhood's days. No will hardships or trials can so paralyze of i e will or make existence such a ?admill that life is not worth living, e believe that through the period childhood the heart and intellect n be so trained and interests so iiltiplied that however dark the j ys may be which follow, the feel- | 5 will never come that it is not j >rth while striving. As to the plan i - 3 1:? ue pursued in tuis cuumuuu, >uld put first ana above all the :ce of example. Let the home at)sphere be bright and cheerful, and disagreeable things kept in the ckground. This will for outweigh desired teaching. Make your ildren feel that you regard ill temr and beiDg cross as very serious alt-?, and making those about them ppy, the right expression of a ;ht spirit. The cultivation of love animals is an important element a child's education. Nature in all varied forms should be adailyles3, and impressed upon the sensae mind, will be through life a arce of joy.

Lt the request of an esteemed corpondent the tribute of Bryan to ! immortality of the soul is reproied below. It constitutes a part his eulogy on the death of the n. George W. Houk, of Dayton, io, one of his colleagues, and is follows: If the father designs to touch 0 I h divine power the cold and pulse1 heart of the buried acorn, and L*o if. fr> V?nrst fnrtli frnm its nrisnn lis, will he leave neglected the soul man who was made in the image the Creator? If he stops to give ' :he rose bush, whose witherd bios- ' rs float upon the autumn breeze, sweet assurance of another spring ' e, will he withhold the words of >efrom the souls of men when * frost of winter come? If matter, te and inanimate, though change the forces of nature into a multie of forms, can never die, will the ^ rit of man suffer annihilation after as paid a brief visit, like a royal ist, to thi3 tenement of clay? Let us rather believe that he who his apparent prodigality wastes tbe rain drop, the blade of grass ;he evening's sighing zephyr, but kes them all to carry out his eterplans, has given immortality to rtal and gathered to himself the terous spirit of our friend.'" ? -o- ?

What a wonderful art it is. [ remember well when the first laguarreotype was taken in our ;own. It was only forty years ago, . md when our first little girl was ' bur years old we had her picture ;aken. She was a little beauty then, ind I thought the picture was the J r-veetest gem on earth.

We had to give her up to him, md as Tom Hood says: I "She took our delight with her Aud the jovs that we love best, With morning light upon her brow Aud pearls upon her breast." Daguerre was a benefactor to the | 'motional side of nature. lie was a French artist?a painter of panoamas of cities like London aud .'aris and Naples. He used the rays if the sun through colored glass to leighten the eftect of bis paintings, j ] ,nd kept on experimenting with sun- j ; light until in 1S39 he caught it on the king and made it stick to metallic plates and reflect the images thrown upon them. His success was partly accidental, paitly design, and he himself was astonished at his j discovery. In 1840 Arago made the j announcement to the Academy of Science and Daguerre was made an officer in the Legion of Honor and voted a pension of G,000 francs a year. He died in 1851 and a monu- j rnent was erected to him in Paris. Hut like all inventions, Daguerre's was crude and imperfect. Photography has grown out of it and seems now to be the perfection of art. It is used in making the exact likeness n'ArL'o i-vf off and no. I UI an bliC gicai *?v*uo vy a. ui w muv* mm ture aDd bringing them in the reach of the millions who have never seen and never will see the origiuals. All the monuments, pyramids, churches, cathedrals, bridges, mountains and waterfalls?all the grand old paintings of Raphael and Rembrandt, all the sculpture of the old masters and even the aspects of the moon and eclipses of the sun and the reproduction of the ancient manuscripts of the Old and New Testaments. The lightning itself cannot more instantly speed its way than photography now catches a bird on the wing or a race horse on the turft or a meteor in the heavens. Ju3t so it was with the locomotive, the spinning jenny, the sewing machine, the tele graph and telephone. All were improved from time to time by the cunning of the human brain and human hand until they now seem to be perfect, but they are not. On the mantle near me I see a cabinet photograph of a well preserved old man who has a sweet little blackeyed grand-child on bis arm, while her bead rests trustingly upon his shouldes and touches his venerable check. She looks shyly and timidly i at you, but clings to the old man as the tender vine clings to the old oak that the storm, has riven. The old man's face is calm and serene. I like those pictures for the children's sake, and wish that I was so coupled with every little grand-child and that my wife had some to match them. I was ruminating that when I am dead and gone and that little girl is a mother, maybe she will show the picture to her child and say: "I never knew mv father, for he died when I was very young, but that old man was my grandfather and he was good to me and I loved him very dearly." Maybe when I am in the spirit land I will some times be near her and hear her talk that way? maybe so, who knows? Flowers and music are the sweetest gift of God to mankind and pictures and painting the sweetest that come from the hand of man. But of all the cameras that catch and hold fast the images of art or nature there are men of science who assert that none are equal to the retina of the human eye. They say every look or glance or vision makes an impression mere. /\u jLupicooiuu so delicate and uDpalpable that millions may lie upon its glassy surface and the last thing seen is on the top. They say that if a mau is murdered while he faces the murderer the assailant's face and form will be found upon the victim's eyes. Some experiments have been made to prove this, but they were imperfect and unsatisfactory. Maybe it will yet be proven. + + It is surprising to many that football players and other athletes regard a sprain or bruise of so little consequence. One reason of this is, they know how to treat such injuries so as to recover from them in a few days, while others would be laid up for two or three weeks, if not longer.
