B 222 South Peoria St., w If Chicago, III., Oct. 7, 1902. 18 Eight months ago I was so ill B that 1 was compelled to lie or sit H down nearly all the time. My ? i| stomach was so weak and upset ffi that I could keep nothing on it || ?K and I vomited frequently. I p fj could not urinate without great B pain and I coughed so much that ? B my throat ana lungs were raw |g K and sore. The doctors pror B nounce(i ^ Bright'g disease and p others said it was consumption, a t| It mattered little to me wnar ? they called it and I had no de- ^ sire to live. A sister visited me fl from St. Louis and asked me if H I had ever tried Wine of Cardui. I told her I had^not and she bought a bottle. I believe that m it saved my life. I believe many |g women could save much suffer- fl ing if they but knew of its value, ffi Don't you want freedom from I pain? Take Wine of Cardui |1 and make one supreme effort to be well. You do not need to be 8 a weak, helpless sufferer. You J| fi can have a woman's Health and H B do a woman's work in life.

One Lady's Recommendation Sold Fifty Boxes of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. I have, I believe, sold fifty boxes of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets on the recommendation of one lady here, who first bought a box of them about a year ago.

' I wish to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," says Mrs. Mattie Burge, of Martinsville, Ya. "I suffered from chronic diarrhoea for ten years and during that time tried various medicines without obtaining any permanent relief. Last summer one of my children was taken with cholera morbus, and I procured a bottle of this remedy. Only two doses were required to give her entire relief. I then decided to try ihe medicine myself, and did not use all of One bottle before I was well and I have never since been troubled with that complaint. One cannot say tpo much in favor of that wonderful medicine." This remedy is for sale by The Kaufmann Drug Co. Henry G. Davis, the Democratic nomOiop for viee-President. is 81 vearsof age.

Joe Golobick, of Colusa, Cal., writes: "For 15 years I endured insufferable pain from Rheumatism and nothing relieved me though I tried everything known. I came across Electric Bitters and its the greatest medicine on earth for that trouble. A few bottles of it completely cured me."' Just as good for L ,er and Kidney troubles and general debility.

To the Editor cf the Dispatch: With smiliDg face and j >yful heart, Some items of news, I now impart. To one and all both far and near. To them this may be a glorious year. The gentle rainB continue to water the thirsty yearth and crop prospects were never better in the rounds we've been. Should the reasons continue till harvest time the yield of corn will be the greatest realized for 3 ears. The locomotive thresher has come, done its work and gone. The wheat turned out is excellent, the best we've had for lo these many years. The men who have charge of it are good, honest, clever fellows. Now, Mr. Editor, we are feasting on new home made bread and pie, viewing the vote setker with a critical eye. Mrs. W. A Goodwin is able to be 1 * - - ? -i r 1. i t up aaci out again to me aeiigu* 01 her many friends. Misses Fiorie Welsh and Mary Hide of Irene, have been spending a few days wish relatives and friends in our community. They have reI turned and if they did not leave their hearts hereabouts, they took with them two instead that beat with high glee in expectant hope that ere soon they will re.-pond in union as one. Filly is iOt a prophet, neither the eon of on?; but some time ago in the 1 early spriug, he predicted that the j nomination for president in the Democratic party lay between A. B. Parker and W. It. HearBt. N ow that Parker is the nominee, let us rally around him to the man and vote him in. I vertably believe that he is the best man for the place, and will make the best president since the days of Washington. f Alas for poor Ted, Who dines with the man with woo on bis head. We hope this Fall, He wont be in it at all. Some intruder recently went in the house of Mr. Willie Wise and mother while away and stole valuables and money to the amount of about thirty-five $35. Wise is a good honest, hard toiling fellow and . hope the thief may be caught and justice meted out. There is some good material in the political forest now, if only men will use descretion in selecting it. Let us select men with character, men with principle, men with a backbone, men with convictions and men who are not afraid to express those convictions; men whose souls have been trained to noble aims and virtuous deeds. j The candidate, comes soon and lal e. Plodding on his weary way, Seeking votes, to carry him over his mate, On election day. Ah, in new perils and obstacles youd meet, As through this land for the vote you seek. Misses Lottie Gardner, Ellen and Leila Fallaw, of Columbia, have been the past week with relatives and j friends and attending the protracted meeting at Gaston. Why don't friend E L. WiDgard or Ero. "Klondike"' call a meeting of the carriers? I have in my possession by law and constitution and intended calling a meeting of the carriers of "the county, but after seeing friend "WiDgard'a notice I thought I would wait and see what I'd see. The health of our community is excellent and that of the baypy Felix family was never better. P.ine apples, grape fruit, melons, j. cantalopes, etc, have been coming i< this way from the many friends of the writer, for all of which we feel grateful and extend thanks. July 18. Billy Felix. "A Word, to the Wise." Etc. A piano is a very caystifying instrument, especially to those who kDow DotbiDg of its construction or innnln/i^ in (lilt) CUICIltliiV/ pilLibi^lica luiuiicu iu producing a perfect piano. Tbie is the reason so many of our citizens and best class of farmers are bumbugged into buying a cheap piano and very frequently at an exorbitant price. Some firms have a method of sending out flaming literature with a lot of testimonials from people who know absolutely nothing about a piano. This class of stuff is priced from $500 00 to Si,000 00 but can be bought for almost nothing, for it is worthless in a musical education. Then the rental dealer comes aloDg and pushes the cheapest pianos he can get for the biggest pric9. Don't get picked up by these fakes. You want the best aDd can get it. Your children deserve a good piano and an artistic piano. We note that our greatest colleges . i . Oi ? . rr _! use me ouen piauo. Elizabeth College, Charlotte, uses it exclusively acd has twenty. Converse College, Spartanburg, S. C, uses it exclusively and has thirty-six. Brenau Conservatory of Music, Gainsvill3, Ga., uses it exclusively and has fifty. The Baptist Female College, Baleigb, has placed an order for thirtv-one and will use it exclusively. Old Salem Academy at Salem, N C, has adopted the Stieff. It is used in many colleges all over the South and East. When the heads of such colleges select the Stieff piano, wouldn't it be well for you to profit by their knowledge and experience? Besides, the Stieff piano is a Southern product manufactured by a Southern man and is sold direct from factory to fireside, saves middleman's profits in your home and you secure the finest piano made.
