FALSE LMPRESSION.
It is generally supposed by a certain (
class of citizens, who are not practical gar
or experienced, that Dyspepsia can not Mi]
invariably be cured, but we are pleased tom
to say that GR%EEN'S AUGUST FLOWER elS
has never, to our knowledge, failed to tha
cure Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint ar
in all its forms, such as Sour Stomach, oth
Costiveness, Sick Headache, palpitation by
of the Heart, low spirits, &c. Out of the
30,000 dozen bottles sold last year, not
a single failure was reported, but
thousands of complimentary letters re- lisi
ceived from Druggists of wonderful a g
cures. Three doses will relieve any of
case. Try it. Sample Bottles 10 cents. chi

Too MUCH THEOLOGY.-The folIo

ecame necessary in several well-reg
ated families to double-team thi
rests. In one case at the house

~utheran divine was placed away

rood Methodist preacher whose z<

bought that he might enlighten t
ther and an argument ensued whi

either would give way. The bed, ho
ver, sympathizing in the argume:
~oncluded that something had to gi
vay, and the result was that the gent
nen soon found themselves heads dos
md feet up-the slats .leaning first
ne side of the argument and then
he other had slipped out of their nal
a1 grooves. There was too ma
heology in that little bed.

POST OFFICE ITEMS.-Mr. Boon(
Postmaster, has kindly furnished u
with some items concerning post offic
regulations, which we print below. TIh
laws and regulations of this departmen
are so many and complicated, and ar
so often changed, that it is bard for th
general public to keep thoroughly posted
A great many people do not know wha
is included under the heads of first
second and third class matter, nor th
rates of postage on each class. Thi
article from Mr. Boone will give tha
information and a great deal more. W
suggest to our readers to clip the articl
out, and paste it in some convenien
place for reference:
SUGGESTIONS TO THE PUBLIC.
Facilities are given to the post officl
officials in the discharge of their dail:
duties, and greater security afforded t
the public, by a careful attention to thi
following recommendations:
To mail all letters as early as prac
ticable; to make the address legible an(
complete, giving the name of the pos
office, county and State; to see tha
every letter, newspaper or other pack
age sent by mail is securely folded an(
fastened.
A much larger portion of the un,
delivered letters could be returnec
if the names and addresses of the
senders were always either fully ani
plainly written inside or embossed or
the envelopes. Persons who have a largE
correspondence find it much more con.
venient to use special request envelopes
Those who write an occasional lettei
can avoid much trouble by writing the
request to be delivered on the envelope
Postage stamps should be placed or
the upper right hand corner of the ad
dressed side of all mail matter. Stamp.
cut from stamped envelopes, mutilatec
postage stamps and internal revenuc
stamps cannot be accepted in paymen1
of postage. ~ To use, or attempt to use
in payment of postage, a postage stamp
or stamped envelope, or any stamp cui
from a stamped envelope, which ha,
been before used in payment of postage
is punishable with a fine of $50.
In using postal cards, be careful no'
to write or have anything printed or
the side used for the address, except th<
address; also be careful not to paste
gum or attach anything to them. The3
are unmailable as postal cards wher
these suggestions are disregarded.
Printed matter, merchandise, and
other third class matter cannot be for
warded to the office to which it is ad
dressed unless the postmaster is fur
nished with postage for such purpose
All packages mailed at less than let
ter postage should be wrapped so theil
contents can be readily ascertained
without destroying the wrapper. Mattei
contained in sealed envelopes, notchet
at the ends, defeats the objects of the
law, and is therefore made subject t<
letter postage.
The sender of any article of the thiri
class of mail matter may write his 01
her name or address therein, or on th4
outside thereof, with the word "from
above or preceeding the same.
To enclose any written matter it
printed matter subjects the mailing
party to a fine of $5, unless the party
addressed pays letter postage on th
packages.
The following articles are unmail
able: Packages containing liquids, pois
ons. glass, explosive chemicals, sharp
pointed instruments, sugar, or any othei
matter liable to deface or destroy the
contents of the mail.
The following are the rates of postag<
on first class matter: On letters, sealet
packages, mail matter wholly or partly
in writing, except book manuscript ani
corrected proofs passing between au
thors and publishers, and except loca
and drop letters or United States posta
cards, all printed matter so marked a
to convey any other or further informa
tion than is conveyed by original print
except the correction of mere typo
graphical errors, all matter otherwise
chargeable with letter postage, bu
which is so wrapped or secured that il
cannot be conveniently examined b:
postmasters without destroying the
wrapper or envelope, all packages con
taining matter not in itself chargeabli
with letter postage, but in which is
enclosed or concealed any writing o1
memorandum or anything chargeable
with letter postage, or upon which if
any writing or memorandum, all mattei
to which no specific rate of postage is
assigned, and manuscript for publica
tion in newspapers, magazines or pe
riodicals, three cents for each half ounc<
or fraction thereof.
The following are the rates of postag<
on third class matter: Mailable matte'
of this class embraces all pamphlets
occasional publications, transient news
papers, magazines, books, periodicals
hand-bills,posters, sheet music (printed)
prospectuses, maps, proof-sheets, cor
rected proof-sheets, and regular pub
lications designed primarily for adver
tising purposes or free circulation, 01
for circulation at nominal rates, ar<
subject to postage at the rate of ont
cent for each two ounces or fractioi
thereof.
On printed cards and blanks, litho
graphs, prints, chromo-lithographs, en
gravings, photographs and stereoscopi'
views, book manuscripts, unsealed cir
culars, seeds, cuttings, roots, scions

IN TROUBLE.-Newberry came with
e in an ace last week of having to put on
s mournings A couple of her natives,
t but now aliens and drummers, the one
e for a shoe and the other for a crockery.
house of Charleston, while making
t tracks across the country, came to South
Fork on the Enoree, in the Ray neigh
borhood. They each had a horse, and
were taking the ups and downs together
in a double buggy. They had several
ups as well as downs before coming to
South Fork, where the first serious
down was experienced. In crossing,
the crockery drummer's horse slipped
his bridle while drinking, and horse
like, he thought the water might be
sweeter and more limpid farther down
t stream; despite all efforts of driver and
the shoe horse who each tried to pull
the other way, he persisted in having
his way and continued till he got into
a quicksand up to his flanks, and then
stuck. It was an awful moment-it
seemed there would soon be two drum
mers less-that the places which knew
them would know them no more for
ever. They prayed, then plunged into
the flood, unhitched the horses, and suc
ceeded in relieving the sinking animal.
The next consideration was the buggy.
This was no small job, bnrt they re
joiced at length on seeing it safe on
terra firma. Of course they were a little
damp after getting out of the water,
but have felt happy ever since, par
ticularly as they afterwards learned
that in that same place a four mule
team with wagon and a load of corn, as
also a buggy and horse, all sank to rise
no more. This consoling information
they obtained from Mr. John Duncan.

be organized on the basis of the
County Commissioners' returns.
This plan would give Nicholls a
decided advantage-a majority in

Encouragement for the Feeble.
Debility, whether it be inherent, or caused
by overtaxed strength, or protracted illness,
has a most depressing influence upon the
mind, breeding an abject melancholy nearly
akin to de,pair, and enforcing the abandon
ment of cherished projects and high hopes.
Happily, the enfeebled system, even in ex
treme cases, is susceptible of invigoration. It
is proved by incontrovertible evidence that
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is an unfailiug
strengthener of the weak, and that in addition
to vitalizing the physical organization, it es
tablishes regularity among those organs upon
whose efficient discharge of the duties im
posed on them by nature, continued vigor
and health depend. Thousands of instances
might be cited to show the regenerating influ
ence of this health-giving agent in cases of
debility, liver disease, dyspepsia, nervous
ailments, constipation, intermittent fever,
urinary and uterine troulDes, gout and rheu
matism, and other maladies. 14-4t
