When Lucy Goes to Church.
She sees what all the women wear,
When Lncy goes to church.
She learns how each has "fixed" her hair,
When Lucy goes to church.
She notes the fact if Tom's with Sue,
She sees exactly what they do,
And yet she hears the service through,
When Lucy goes to church.
She sees each one who steals a doze.
When Lucy goes to church.
Each laugh she hears?each blow of nose.
When Lucy goes to church.
There's method in her manner, meek,
She gains foundation so to speak.
lo Keep her talking all the week,
When Lucy goes to church.
Beafness Cannot "be Cured
By local application e, as they cannot
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
elosed 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 Cure. Send for circulars,

Courtship of Si Sedges.
Lots of neonle down on the creek
* *
eaid that Si Hodges would never
marry, cause he waz' so bashful.
There never waz a boy in the {settlement
as bashful as Si.
After a while hit begun to be sore
to Si, and he naturally resented the
flings on his courage, so, at the age
of 33 years, he decided to git married,
or die, or do something wuss.
50 Si sot down an' studied over the
matter, and sized up the gais of his
acquaintances, and arter making a
list, be diked up one evening an' sallied
forth.
51 made up his mind to git married.
He had a good farm, mules,
and a fair sum of money in the bank,
and he was out for a wife. Studying
over the matter carefully, Si made a
list of the eligible girls in his neighborhood,
and proceeded to bring the
marryin' business to an early finish.
Thar waz Sally Jinkins, one of the
purtiest blondes thet ever wore shoe
leather, and her daddy owned 1000
acres of good land, and didn't owe a
cent. "Purty good chance," Bez Si.
So Si puts cn his Sunday-go-to-meeting
clothes, red necktie, long tail
coat, Darby hat, handkerchief leaded
with German cologne, and away he
sails to Squire Jinkins' residence, at
about 8 p. m. Si walked to the viran*
\.
da and gave the door knocker a gcol
A m U? nit ?n IT A A TT? V* a! A t
railit?, WlilUU vruto up mo rrJJUAC louiily.
Miss Sally met Si at the door,
and invited him in, and Si made a
moat gracious bow, almost falling
down over a pot of geraniums which
Sally wuz raisin' on the viranda:
"Come in, Mr. Hodges," sez Sally,
and Si lit in the parlor. He sot himself
on the aofia, and as Miss Sally
also sot down on a cheer, Si sez;
"Miss Sally, I think a powerful lot
of you and as I am a farmer, who
ain't got no time to do reg'lar courtin',
like those town dudes, I mean
strictly business, and I would powerful
like you to go to the Preachers
with me an' accept me for better or
wu8ser."
Well, you ought to hav seen that
gal! "Sir," sez she, "I am not ac
customed to such sudden courtships,
and I beg to inform you that I am
engaged to marry the Methodist
Preacher, Mr. Singhigh, and I wish
to bid you a very, very good eve_
n
nng.
Poor Sir I that came near breakin'
him up, but he recovered courage
and decided to go further. Suze Ann
Hucklebee, the prettiest brunette on
the Creek, as purty as pink shoes and
blue stockings, wuz jest a mile furth
er, and Si started thar. Miss Suze !
Ann wuz in the parlor when he arriv' I
a-playing of the orgaD; and as well as
Si recollects the chune wuz "Pull for
I
the Shore." Si tapped at the door,
and Miss Suze met him and invited
him in. Si santered in, bowed gracefully,
wiped his face with his red bandanna,
and sot down on a cheer. Miss
Suze wuz looking as sweet as sugar
cane, and Si thought he wuz in luck
at last. Si was careful this time, and
didn't say a word about marryin' until
Miss Suze played several pieces cn
the organ, all of which he praised
powerful.
At last, as time was fleeting, Si
broke loose:
"Miss Suze Ann," sez he, "mother
is gittin' old, and the old home is
lonesome, and I hev been thinkim a
heap lately of increasin' the population
of the farm, in the shape of a
wife, and ef you heven't got any previous
engagements?cz I like you
pow'ful?I would be delighted to
have you take charge of my farm and
I will be your loving and obedient
servant."
"Mr. Hodges," sez Suze Ann "I
thank you for your kind but unexpected
offer of marriage, but I regret
exceedingly that I cannot except it
as I could never be the wife of a common
farmer. My education and
breeding do not warrant me of considering
your offer, while at the same
time I appreciate your kindness and
will be a sister to you."
Si didn't faint, but he sez. "I will
try to outlive this sad disappointment,
but please don't claim kin with
me. I hev enough poor kin now."
Well Si wa3 in a quandary, and
rode down the road until he saw a
light in the window of Squire Hopper's
house, and he recollected that
Nancy Hopper wuz one of the purtiest
gals at Pea Bidge school, and
he hitched old "Beck" and went
up to the door and knocked. Nancy
opened the door and Si felt at home
at or cj, for Nancy had the sweetest
smile of any gal in that neighborhood.
"How d'ye, sir," sez she, and Si jest
went into the hallway a smilin*. "You
must come out in the kitchen," sez
Nancy, "as I am busy peelin'apples."
Of course Si went back thar, and he
helped Nancy at the job. Si sez he
never saw her look so handsome, and
hit was not long before he let loose.
"Nancy," sez he, "I hev beenthjnkin'
a heap lately about how you poor women
folks is worked, and I think a
likely and purty gal like you oughtn't
to work your life out for nothing,
when thar is strong men who will labor,
love and support. Nancy, won't
you be mine? I'll be a good husband,
keep away from clubs, and jine the
Meetin' ef you'll be mine!"
"But hainfc this rather sudden, Si?"
sez Nancy, "you never hev been to
call on me since ten years ago when
we went to singin' skule. I alius 'lo wed
a couple orter do a right smart courtin'
afore they wuz engaged."
"Nancy," sez Si, "I have made up
my mind to git married, and you are
the gal for me, and ef W6 get spliced
right away, the long winter nights
are ccmin' od, and we won't have a
thing to do but to court, and I'll spend
every evenin' a courtin' ef you, so we
won't miss any of thet part."
By that time Si had sidled up to
Nancy and had his arm around her,
and Nancy, she didn't object, .so Si
closed the bargain right thar, and
that is the swiftes' courtin' we ever
have record of on the Creek, and the
happiest marriage. For Si is a model
husband, except when he gits with
Jim Jinkins, Ole Man Peterkin and
some of them town dudes, or attends
a barbecue, but on the whole he is a
great improvement on the old Si. I
have seriouB intentions of marrying
myself, and if any fairly preserved
spinsters or widows of the vintage of
'65 w'sh a helpmate, the undersigned
is open to engagements and can give

Our Consul Murdered!
Washington, August 27 ?The State
Department has a telegram from
Minister Leischman, at Constantinople,
announcing that Wm. C. Magelsen,
United States vice consul at
Beirut, Syria, was assassinated today
while riding in a carriage. The minister
immediately brought the crime
to the attention of the government
and demanded action by Turkey.
Acting Secretary Lomis today cabled
Minister Leischman to demand
the immediate arrest and punishment
of the guilty persons.
Vice Consul Mageleon was appcint_j

by the navy department to proceed
immediately to Turkish waters, with
bis decks cleared for action, to enforce
the demands of the United
States government. Uncle Sam's
dander is now up and he'll knock
those Turks out of eight.
The alleged assassination of the
consul has since been denied. He
was shot at while returning from a
game of base ball, of which he was
an interested spectator, but fortunately,
was not hit by the ball.

say a word of praise for Ballard's
Snow Liniment. I stepped on a nail,
which caused the cords in my leg to contract
and an abscess to rise in my

went to J. F. Lord's drug store (who
is now in Denver, Colo.) He recommended
a bottle of Snow Liniment;
I got a 50c size, and it cured my leg.
It is the best liniment in the world.

Distinguished Guests.
United Senator Benjamin R.- -Qillman,
accompanied by Mrs. Tillman
and the Misses Hill and Furnum
passed through the city Tuesday evening
en route to Chicago from Pike
Lake where they have been the guest
of the Hon. and Mrs. Rublee A. Cole.
A reporter of the Times met the
Senator and party as a representative
of the only Democratic newspaper
in the county, and found the
entire party in excellent spirits and
very enthusiastic in their praises of
Price county and the hospitality of
its citizens and all expressed their regrets
in not being able to extend
their visit for another waek or so.
When asked what opinion he had
formed of Price county, the Senator
said he was most agreeably surprised
and while heretofore he had an erroneous
idea of the Great North Country,
having traveled through it once many
years ago when it was a vast forest,
he now unhesitatingly predicts that
in a few years Price county would be
a thickly populated and prosperous
agricultural community; that he be
t M I 1 <1 J f _ _ _
Iieved it to De tne coming siock raising
country and would soon excel
any section of the country for fine
stock raising, excepting, of course,
the Blue grass region of Kentucky;
that the clover and grasses seem to
be indigenous to the soil as well as
the various root crops and that in a
few years more Price county might
become a great sugar beat growing
country as he understood that the
citizens were already experimenting
with sugar beet raising with great
success and saw no reason why we
should not equal if not excel Michigan
which has been raising sugar beets
with magnificent results for many
years.
The reporter did not try to inter
< ! __ I !
view tne senator on pounce leavmg
that for other repreeensatives cf the
press of the country. The Senator,
however, discussed the negro problem
from his stand point with great frankness
and sincerity and undoubtedly
to the regret of these who undertook
to take issues with him on the
question.
When asked as to his plans the
Senator said he would go from Chicago
to St. Joe, Missouri where he
will have another joint diecussion
with Senator Barton on the Negro
problem on the first of September
and that he ia billed for a number of
places throughout the States and
probably would not return to Washington
much before Congress convened.
While very little has been said by
the press throughout the country on
the subject, it would not turpise the
Times if before long a "Tillman
Boom'' will be launched and Senator
Benjamin K.Tillman will be a strong
candidate for the Democratic Presidential
nomination. While the Sen
I
ator has a reputation for being ex- j
tremely "streneroup," yrt Lis ability ]
is acknowledged Ik all, and then tco,
he is not controlled bv any ring cr

gang.
The Times predicts that should be
become a candidate he would give
Mr. Roosevelt a strong fight and
where two strenerous men such as
they, meet, there is liable to be a
surprise for someone.
Your reporter found the Senator
to be a strong robust man of a
jovial good nature, frank and energetic
in his action and speech and
after a personal acquaintance with
him, one cannot doubt that the many
things said and read of the Senator
are entirely false or greatly exaggert

Emergency Medicines.
It is a great convenience to have at
baDd reliable remedies for use in
cases of accident and for slight in- |
juries and ailments. A good liniment
and one that is fast becoming a favorite
if not a household necessity is
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. By applying
it promptly to a cut, bruise or
burn it allays the pain and causes the
injury to heal in about one-third
the time usually reqired, and as
it is an antiseptic it prevents any
danger of blood poisoning. When
Pain Balm is kept at hand a sprain
may be treated before inflammation
sets iD, which insures a quick recovery.

"Worth Knowing.
Recently a resident of Spartanburg
was arrested and tried and fined for
violation of the postal laws and regulations.
The fine, which was paid,
W88 SlO. The party violated section
484 of these laws. The follow is the
clause of the section which was violated:
"Any person who shall knowingly
conceal or enclose any matter
of a higher class in that of a lower
class, and deposit or cause to be deposited
for conveyance at a less rate
than would be charged for both such
higher and lower class matter, shall
for every such offense, be liable to a
penalty of $10." The fine was paid.
There are many people who do not
know of the existence of such a law.
The offense which occasioned this
was the mailing of a photograph and
a letter inside a wrapper of a newspaper,
which bore a one cent stamp.
Sour Stomach.
When the quantity of food taken
is too large or the quality too rich,
sour stomach is likely to follow, and
especially so ii the digestion has been
weakened by constipation. Eat slowly
and not too freely of easily digested
food. Masticate the food thoroughly.
Let five hours elapse between meals,
and when you feel a fullness and
weight in the region of the stomach
after eating, take Chamberlaius's
Stomach and Liver Tablets ana the
sour stomach may be avoided. For
