You have oDly gone before; For if we are bnt as faithful We shall reach the golden shore, < Obituary. 'Olin, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Qaattlebaum, of Leesvilie, S. G, passed away on the morning of December 21, 1902. He had not united with any branch of the Christian church, though he was surrounded by Christian influences. He had not assumed the responsibilities of sanhood, but had expressed a desire to live according to the great plan of salvation. Fond parents, loving sisters and brothers, many relatives and friends mourn their loss. May God comfort their sad hearts. A Friend. aCillions of Oranges. Latest estimates are that the Florida orange crop, about one-balf of which has been shipped from the State, will yield 90,000 boxes. Local ? 1 1 J At aeaiers are .aireacy getting tneir share of the crop, but within the the next few weeks the markets here will be Btocked with delicious fruit from the Indian River eection. There will be about 250,000 boxes of the large size of fruit. Oranges run from 80 to 150 per box, 128 being standard size. The crop is averaging the growers about $1 25 on the trees. The best part of the fruit is purchased before it is picked. "We will have an abundance of fine fruit here this winter/' said a dealer yesterday. "There is always a big demand for Florida oranges, due mainly to the fact that the fruit is sweet Jc > ' J and deliriously flavored. Of course, . there are big shipments from other sections, but the Florida goods are never a drug on the market" Bea&ess Cannot be Cured By local applications, as they cansot reach the deceased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition,- hearing will be destoyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Care. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0.

How many good deeds might have been done; but now the old year has carried away the opportunities and hid them somewhere in eternity. We'll not meet them again. Let us profit by their loss and lift our eyes to the future. Here we stand now at the door- | way of the New Year. Let us thank the giver of all good for this gate and enter in with the determination to make it the very best year of our lives. A great man odco said, "close beside every man walks the shadow of what be might have been."

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus Falls, Minn., fell and dislocated her shoulder. She had a surgeon get it back in place as soon as possible, but it was quite sore and pained her very much. Her son mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy her a bottle of it, which he did. It quickly relieved her and enabled her to sleep which she had not done for several days. The son was so much pleased with the relief it gave his mother that he has since recommended it to many others. For sale by Kaufmann Drug Co. A Frenchman's Social Error. A Frenchman on his return to Paris after a week's stay with an English commercial friend in London, sat down to inscribe a letter to thank his host for his kind hospitality. Possessing but a scant knowledge of the English language, it entailed some effort on his part to frame a suitable letter. He managed, however, to convey what he wished to say with considerable satisfaction to himself. It only needed the usual finishing sentence, and the Frenchman was wont to wind up his social letters with the French phrase: <kMay the Lord preserve you and your family to all eternity." Failing for the moment to recall ti a. m 1. tut; xuuguou ueuumuu ui tuo xreuuu word meaning "preserve,'1 he sought the aid of a dictionary. He there discovered that the word meant "pickle," so, with pride, he concluded bis missive with the parting words: "May the Lord pickle you and your family to all eternity." ? - Svery Bottle* of Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy Warranted.

The station is to be north of the present site of the Baltimore and Ohio depot, at Delaware and Massachusetts avenues, and in front of 't is to be a large park. The Pennsylvania Railroad, by the terms of the bill, ia to remove its tracks from the Mall and reach the site of the proposed station through a tunnel to run between the capital and the library buildings. The government is to pay the Pennsylvania railroad $1,500,000 and the Baltimore and Ohio $700,000, in addition to providing for the plaza park. The House also passed an urgent deficiency bill, which carried, amoDg other items, an appropriation of $500,000 for eradicating the foot and mouth disease in New Eogland. Question Answered. Yes, August Flower still has the [ largest 6ale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers' and grandmothers'never thought of using anything else for Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the eystem and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the action of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the eystem, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other scbes. You only need a few doees of Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. You can get this reliable remedy at Kaufmann's Drug Store.

C., Jan. 1 ?According to estimates made by freight officials here the movement of fertilizers out of Charleston this season will be the greatest on record. The increase is the greatest on record. The increase is variously estimated, although conservative figures will doubtless show an increase of 20 per cent. This will bring the total shipments from this point up to 400,000 tons, or about 25,000 cars. The movement will begin Monday, and as the business has to be handled in a limited period, the Southern railroad and the Atlantic Coast Line will be taxed to their utmost to get it shipped promptly to the interior.

Take No Substitute* Tbe new steamboat for'the river line between Columbia and Georgetown is expected to be let out by contract in a few days. Its capacity is to be about 220 toDP. This line will aid considerable in tbe development of Columbia. It i8 something that has been long needed but only recently made possible by the improvement of the Congaree river by the government. It will doubtless be remembered that through the efforts of Senator Tillman Congress appropriated $50,000 per annum for the improvement of this river at Columbia by building a dam, widening and deepening the channel. This work has been progressing for the past year or so and is now almost in a state of completion. The value of this work, to the commercial interest of Columbia and the territory dependent upon the Congaree, Wateree and Sautee river, for transportation facilities, cannot be over estimated. It is safe to say that the river swamps will soon re-echo with the sound of the steamboat whistle and the alligator disturbed in his sun bath by the splash of the paddle wheels. Crcup. The peculiar cough which indicates croup, is usually well known to the mothers of croupy children. No time should be lost in the treatment of it, and for this purpose no medicine has received more universal approval than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Do not waste valuable time in experimenting with untried remedies, no matter how highly they may be recommended, but give this medicine as directed and all symptoms of croup will quickly disappear.

Kodol does for the stomach that which it is unable to do for itself, even when but slightly disordered or over-loaded. Kodol supplies the natural juices of digestion and does the work of the stomach, relaxing the nevous tension, while the inflamed muscles of that organ are allowed to rest and heal. Kcdol digests | what you eat and enables the stom- | ach and digestive organs to transform all food into rich, red blood. Kaufmann Drug Co.
