BESULT OF USING AYER'SPILLS ^ "Ayer's Cathartic Pills for over thirty years have kept ine in good health, never having had a sick day in all that time. Before I was twenty I suffered almost continually?as a result of constipation?from dyspepsia, headaches, neuralgia, or boils and other eruptive diseases. "When I became convinced that nine-tenths of my troubles were caused by constipation, I began the use of Ayer's Pills, with the most satisfactory results, never having a single attack that did not readily yield to this remedy. My wife, who had been an invalid for years, also began to uso Ayer's Pills, and her health was quickly restored. With my children I had noticed that nearly all their ailments were preceded by constipation, and I soon had the pleasure of knowing that with children as with parents, Ayer's Pills, if taken in season, avert all danger 0/ sickness."?II.

(Will you not honor us and aid our efforts by the gift or loan of some weapon, accoutrement, or other possession connected with the war, or the service you rendered the Confederacy? A brief account of any interesting incidents or associations connected with the article contributed would add greatly to its value. I We would prize very highly any I manuscript or document or letter you may have or obtain, or that you may write, as a sketch or history of any person, event, period of time, or exposition of a principle, connected with the formation of the Confederacy, or with the war waged to maintain its existence.

Miss Mamie Riddle has returned home from Columbia. Her sister, Miss Josie, has returned to Leesville to continue her studies. Some of our boys, not far off made a call on some of the girls over in the Shady Grove neighborhood some time ago and put their cart in the lot for safe keeping, and the cow ate every piece of leather about it. That was hard on the boys, sure. You must read this poetry for you will i appreciate it under the circumstances: A frog he would a courting go, Whether Uncle Mikssaid so or no, He set out with his card and cat, iAnd on the road he met with a rat. And said to Mr. Rat will you go with me, The Misses B's for us to see. "When they came to the door of the Misses' hall, They gave a loud hail intended for a loDg call; The giver with a rush in the room they went, The boys did not know what to think, A moment or two their joy was bent, The girls kept waiting for some entertainment.

A story associated with picket firing, during the civil war, brings out this feature of national character: One day there was a truce between the two hostile picket lines: "Hn. Yfiiikr called out a lank Mis- I sissippiap, who had just been posted, "can you fellows shoot?" "Wal, Johnny, I guess we car, some! Can you?'' "Shoot!'' shouted back the ConfedI erate. "Why, down in Mississippi I we knock a bumble bee off a thistle 1 bow at 300 yards." ? | "0, that's nothing to the way we I shoot up in Vermont! I belonged to { a company up there of 100 men, and j every week we used to go out toprac? tice. The cap'n would draw us up in single file, and set a cider barrel rollia' down the hill. Each man took a shot at the bung hole as it turned up. The barrel was then examined, and if there was a shot fired that ? / didn't go into the bung hole, the mai who fired it was expelled. I belongei to the company 10 years, and ther ain't been nobody expelled yet." The exaggregation is so often s pronounced as to eclipse the humoi A CaliforniaD, heating a Briziliiai tell of the wonderful fireflies of hi country, so large and luminous tha ladies wore them on their person en closed in gauze, replied: "That's notlin'.

In speaking of this much dreadec disease, Mr. C. M. Dixon, of Pleas ant Ridge, Pa , said, " I have a little giil who is troubled frequently dur ing the winter months with croup} affections. "Whenever the first syrnp toms occur, my wife gives her Cham berlain's Cough Remedy, and the result is always prompt and satis factory."

An old clergyman, who formally lived in New Hampshire town, was remarkable for his eccentric modes of speech. His way of asking a blessing was so peculiar as to sometimes affect the risibiles of his guests although apparently he was entirely unconscious of the fact. When he seated himself at the breakfast table, and saw spread upon it a meal greatly to his liking, he said, "Lord, we thank thee for this excellent breakfast of which we are to partake." A more simple meal, but one which he legarded as comparatively satisfactory, would cause him to say, "Lord, we thank thee for this good hrpflfcfftRt. Ret before us." But, when the minister's eye roamed over the table and saw nothing which was especially to his taste, although the tone in which he uttered ! his petition was not lacking in fervor, I his sentiments were clearly to bedisj covered. "Lord," he invariably said on these I occasions, "fill our hearts with thankI fulness, we beseech thee, for this [ meal set before us; for with thee all [ things are possible." * Leesville Notes. To the Editor of the Dispatch: We had quite a fire on Sunday, the 2oth of October, near here in the in the Hollow Creek section. Mr. E. H. Shealy lost his fine dwelling, * milk aud smoke house by fire. But few things were saved frjm the house. Mr. Shealy was not at home nor was any of his family. The loss is certainly a heavy one, as Mr. Shealy is a poor, hard working man and he had one of the best dwellings in tnat section, i ao not think that there was any insurance on the building. His loss will foot up something like SI,500 or $2,000. We greatly sympathise with him and his family in their great loss. I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Nina Henry, of the Fork side of the river, who is teaching school at the Caney Branch school. Miss Nina is I a fine scholar and the trustees cer| tainly did well in securing the ser; vices of such an accomplished lady. The Dispatch has my best wishes. Yours, Labor.

Rheumatism and Creeping Paralysis 2 Followed, and Mr. Salsbury Sutf s ered for a Long, Time-Relief Came t, at Last in the Use of Pink Pills - From the'limes, K;ie, Pa. On a bright September morning a f I reporter of the Ktie Drily Times e j drove up to the cozy residence of - Luther Salsbury, about three miles 3 from East Spiiugfield, Pa., and one , half mile from Sherman Comers. 1 Mr. Salsbury was at home and grai ciously received the reporter, led him to a cozy sitting room, and begged : him ta be seated. Mr. Salsbury is Gl years of age, with long, snowy j white beard, and steady walk. He was born in Conncaut Township, about nine miles from where he now resides, and is one of the best known far mers in that section of the country. At the age of 21 he moved to Indiana with his parents. Mr. Salsbury was always a very healthy man, and never knew what r it was to be sick. After living in ^ Indiana about fifteen years, he with t his aged mother, moved back to their t former home. About seven years > ago Mrs. Salsbury had the misfortune j to fall and break her hip Luther, r | who witnessed the fall from the porch, r ran to her assistance, and lifting her ; gently carried her to the house. In some manner he wrenched his back, and hnrt himself internally, causing rheumatism to set in. He did not pay any attention to it until about six months afterwards, when he noticed a peculiar feeling between his shoulders, and the shoulders blades became very numb. He went to see i a physician and was informed he had i what is known as creeping paralysis. , He doctored about two years and was pronounced cured. About a year after he quit doctoring, the same feeling came over him again, and he made up bis mind not to see a doctor, but try to cure himself. Mr. Salsbury was always fond of fishing, and while on the way to his favorite pond he noticed a newspaper lyiDg on the ground. He picked it up, and his eye accidentally read an article which said, Use "Pink Pills" for iheumatism, impoverishment of the blood, etc. "I began tbinkino- that ihev minht do me jjood,'' o f w said Mr. Salsburv, "and accordingly I went to Dr. Davensort's drug store at Albion, Pa., six miles from my home and purchased three boxes. Twenty-four hours after taking the first pill I could feel the effect clear to the ends of my fingers and relief came at once. "I continued using Pink Pills and j began getting stronger, and to-day I I am feeling very well. My backache does not bother me at all,. I can walk as good as anyone of my age. The numbness has disappeared entire'y. Before taking Pink Pills I was unable to do the work on my farm, but now I can handle the farm as well -i-i -_J T u | as i ever couia, anu j. muiuuie it an J to the use of Dr. Williams'Pink Pills. "Without hesitancy I recommend Pink Pills for rheumatism aud all diseases of the blood. The pills are the best I have ever known, and a number of people who noticed my condition were surprised at the effect of Pink Pills. Too much cannot be said of them." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements neccessarv to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in J loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six i boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggist, or direct by mail from i Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N Y. A Suggestion. | To the Editor of the Dispatch: I _ I see in the last issue of the Disi patch a notice that the chain gang I will soon commence work on the j Dreher's ferry road.

County Supervisor and the Town, ship Commissioners to investigate . and see if it would not be better to , relocate the road as there are hills cn both sides of the river that it is almost impossible to make a good read. The hill on this side of the river is actually dangerous to drive down \yith a load, and the length of the hill forbids it being graded down except at a very heavy expense. I venture the assertion that ten or fifteen j I days' work with the chain gang will, , 1 j if the road is relocated, make a betj tor road than five hundred dollars j ! will make out of the present road, j j The law provides for relocating a I road when it is very bad and would ' be expensive to make a good road. !

The high price of the trust tie has at last been broken and cotton ties cau now be obtained at a greatly reduced pi ice. The piice was broken by the fact that a Western concern has begun j the manufacturing of the same ties j and are selling them at a lower price j than that demanded by the trust. The trust met the new price, and this i has caused the new ties to be cheaper | now than before. The tie trust has been fought all j summer by the Commissioners of | Agriculture and by the farmers ; throughout the State. New ties were invented but they failed to take the place of the trust ties, and the old price continued to hold sway. Late in the season a lie that could take the place of the trust was invented, but its lateness caused it to be of little use. Mr. Frank Davies, confidential man to Mr. W. W. Bierce, of New Orleans, who has"broken the trust price, was in the city yesterday and was asked about the matter of causing the trust to reduce its price on cotton ties. "Yes,1' said Mr. Davies, "Mr. William W. Bierce, of New Orleans, has broken the high price of cotton ties. 1 Mr. Bierce manufactures cotton compresses and comes in contact j with the cotton trade. Early in the season his correspondence was , flooded with requests for cotton ties | at reasonable prices, and finding all the Eastern manufacturers were com-! | bined and all quoting the same price, | j or quoting no price at all until ail j last year's stocks were exhausted, he j set about to find some one who would l go into the business with him. And it was no easy task, either. The making of cotton ties is a big busij ness to undertake, takes a very exI tensive mill, but the Illinois Steel j | Company with their thirty millions : of capital expressed themselves as i anxious and willing to go in the mar! ket. j | "The bagging trust of a couple of j years since is still fresh in the minds of the farmers, but had no eompari- j son to the enormity of the trust that has recently forced the farmer to pay exhorbitant prices for his require- i ments. ""Why, the first day Mr. Bierce ; went upon the market the trust re- j | duced their price 30 cents. The ; trust was forcing prices higher and ! holding their stocks until there were no outside ties to be had, and then I preposed, and it was no open secret j either, to force the prices to 81-50. ""We realize fully, as well as any- j bod}r, that we are late in getting into j this market for this season, but it is ' beater to remedy existing evils no J matter how late the change may take j place. "The farmers have a hard enough | time now to live without being com- j j pelled to pay more for an article than j j it is actually worth, as they have ; j been doing in the case of the cotton i ties. j "And not only this," continued Mr. i Davies, "but the trust in a great ! many of the cotton States were compelling the farmer to buy his bagging fromthtm otherwise tbey could get n | ties, and this is the cause of the wir j tie agitation." In reply to an inquiry as t | whether he believed the trust ha< profited much by its big advance Mr. Duvies said: "I don't believe they have. Yoi sec they have been compelled to pa exhorbitant premiums to subsidiz mills and keep them out of the busi ness." Mr. Davies was somewhat slow ii auswering the question astowhethe the Illinois Steel Company was no approached with a view to keeping them out of the market, but the far mer can feel pardoned for believing they were, and the effort did not sue ceed." _ 1 ti f J l is omy auuLuer i;uat: uj iuu uuuu anil West joining hands and makin< themselves entirely independent o the East, and the farmer, the cottoi factor, the bu}*er and the shipper cai feel assured that the Illinois Stee Company and Mr. Bierce are in th< business to stay. The active cam paign which we have begun we shal push to the utmost of our ability We arc not easily daunted, and thii time we are more determined thai ever. "No, it is not a selfish motive tha has prompted us to go into the busi ness. Many of our customers lookec to us for a remedy that they woulc not be caught in a similar mannei another season. You may say with out fear of contradiction that we ar< going to meet whatever competitioi that is offered, and we won't be lon? in making a trade when the opportu nity presents itself/' ? ?. Fads in MedioineThere are fads in medicine as ir every thing else and a "new thing' frequently sells for a short time sim ply because it is new. But in med icine, as in nothing else, the peopk - * i j , /% _ *1 1_ demand ana will De sausneu onrj with positive, absolute merit. The fact that Hood's Sarsaparilla has stood its ground against all competi tion, and its sales have never wavered but have remained steadily at the top, demonstrates, beyond any doubt, the intrinsic virtues of this medicine The new tbiDgs have come and gone but Hood's Sarsaparilla rests upoc the solid foundation of absolute merit and its power to cure, and its sales continue to be the largest in the world. 51 ? - * The house of representatives has twice elected presidents of the United States; first in 1800, when Thomas Jeflerson was chosen over Aaron Burr and in 1824, when John Quinc} Adams was chosen over Andrew Jackson. A prominent physician claims that there will be no diptheria, scarlet fevei nor worms for children if they eai plentifully of onions every day, es peeially when there is a scarcity ol fresh fruit. He buys onions for his own young folks, and they are served in every imaginable form. The only permanent cure for chron ic catarrh is to thoroughly expel the poison from the system by faithful and persistent use of Ayer's Sarsapa rilla. This wonderful remedy proves successful when all other treatmenl has failed to relieve the syfferer. % A ruined city, larger than New York has been discovered in the mountains of Mexico. A rapist in Missouri was captured, tied to a tree, whipped and mutilated and then turned loose.

His presence in the city was generally known, having been anQ nouueed in the State, but the fact that he was to talk was keep secret, ^ as it was intended only for the stu dents. He was tired and sat while y 3 ! talking. r Diligence and truthfulness was the 3 subject on which he spoke. These two characteristics were resiquite in the right sort of woman. If there was one bad girl in the college at the J beginning of the year, her intluence would make several ones at the end. 3 A bad girl had the same effect on j other girls that one rotton potato had on a heap or pile of potatoes. The modest girl was the kind that 1 were loved by the young men and old men alike. A modest girl was known by the way she dressed. She but toned the collar of her frock close up to her neck. But these girls who ^ fasten the collars around the waist won't do; for then she is getting in a j bad way. A girl should be as trans] parent as a pane of glass. There . should be nothing secret about them It seemed to him that all Araeri, can boys t>f this day thought about was having a good time and the only r thing a girl thought of was being pretty little things. He pointed out the temptations of a pretty woman and then added that he did not think there would be any danger to the crowd before him on the score of beauty. Beauty was said to be skin ' deep, and if that was the case, he had seen many good sisters who were so hard featured that skinning would help them. The biggest fool in this world is the girl who would go back on her good old mother, who had done so 1 much for her, and take after one of iUfln/loa Tf n rrirl WfiR lllliC U U UVO. Xi M told to select from a row of sensible young men of every profcs' sion and vocation, at the bottom of which was a dude, who parted his ! hair in the middle, wore red cravats 1 and toothpick shoes, then the giddy headed thing would fly at once to the ' dude. He was so irresistible, she ! would say. If ho was a girl and married such a man, and coming home and finding him out, would not i ask where he was, but would say I where is "it," meaning the dude, i But the highest type of girl was ; the one who stood by her mother. r These dime novel reading kind would r not do. Talk about cultivating the brains of that girl would be as sensible as talking of cultivating a hole in the around. Before concluding he . O ? . told them never to do anything without first asking if they would do r that if mother was there If they , never did anything that they were I not willing for mother to know all about, then they were good giils That sort of a boy or girl was, after all, the best kind and in fact the only true kind. It was always a great pleasure to him to see a girl treat her mother gently, with love and re' spect. In conclusion he admonished girls never to treat their mothers harshly. r You Can Be Well When your blood is pure, rich and nourishing for nerves and muscles.

' Teach them to wash, to iron, to darn ! stockings, to sew on buttons, and to cut and make their own dresses, and ! not have them so tight that they cani not draw a natural breath if it wa? to save their souls.

Teach them how to purchase, and to see that amount of the bill tallies with the purcbae, and that the goods are what they bought, and what they were represented to be. Teach them that good health and < a bright face is better than any cosmetic, and that if they want fair complexions, clear skins and rosy cheeks, they should avoid tea, coffee, cocoa, and similiar drugs, and should dress loosely and take out-of-door exercise. Teach them good common sense, self help, and industry, which will m ike them independent and useful. Teach them that marrying a man without principle, conscience or religion is like putting to sea without a compass or chart or rudder. Teach them, if you can afford it, music, painting and other accom- I plishmeuts, but insist on a certain I amount of good reading daily. In reading good books there is education, development and often solace and comfort for weary, lonely hours. The woman who does not read will be likely to gab and gossip and make mischief everywhere. Teach girls to mind their own business, and to avoid gossiping as they would an infectious disease. A gossip has a perverted mind and an empty head. Finally, teach them that matrimonial happiness depends, not on wealth nor on appearance, but on good health, good manners, good principles and personal character. A Life Saved.
