The report is current that Governor Tillman has announced, or his friends have announced for him, that next year he proposes to have a Legislature which willl “suit him better than this.” There is a strong flavor of truth about this report. F. H. Hickey, 1208 Main street, Lynchburg, Va., writes: “I was broke out all over with sores, and tuy hair was falling out. After using a few bottles of Botanic Blood Balm my hair quit falling out and all the sores got well.” If there is a sanctity in human life it is the marriage tie; if there is a sac rilege in the experience of the world in these later years it is the facility for severing it afforded in courts in certain localities.

McCreary, at his home near White Pond. He was taken ill on Friday after noon and died on the next morning at 3 o’clock from heart failuie and paralysis of the brain. Mr. McCrary was well known throughout this part of the State, and was highly esteem ed. He was in the 40th yearof his age, and was a successful farmer and owned one of the best farms in that section of the country. He was also a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity and also of the Knights of Pythias, and was buried by the latter order near White Pond on Sunday. Christmas Services. On Christmas day masses were celebrated at eight, nine and ten o’clock, in the Catholic church of St. Clare. At the last mass the Rev. J. Murray preached a short sermon on the mystery of the incarnation. The music, under the direction of Mr. C. S. Wallace, was very enjoy able. The contralto solo, “He shall feed His sheep,” from Handel’s “Messiah” was particularly well ren dered by Miss Lydia Eustis, who is to be congratulated on the possession of a very rich contralto voice. In the afternoon at four o’clock, there was the recitation of the Rosary, followed by solemn benedic tion and the blessed sacrament. On this moining mass will be held at 9 o’clock. A Pure Cocoa. The Breakfast Cocoa prepared by Messrs. W. Baker & Co., Dorchester, is generally recommended by physi cians as the best drink for the morn ing meal. It gives tone to the stomach, and in many cases acts as meat and drink for the sick. The manufacturers warrant this cocoa to be absolutely pure and soluble, the excess of oil being properly and care fully removed. Unlike the Dutch process, no chemicals are used in its manufacture. It is guaranteed to have three times the strength of or dinary cocoa, because the latter is in variably mixed witli sugar or arrow- root, and for this reason Baker’s Cocoa is the cheapest as well as the best. It costs less than one cent a cup. It is delicious, nourishing, strengthening, and easily digested. For sale by all grocers in the United Btates. Rev. Dr. AV. A Nelson. Asheville Citizen, 28th ulto. At the morning service at the First Baptist church yesterday, Dr. Nelson announced that next Sunday would terminate his pastoral relation with that church. This step is made im perative by the health of Dr. Nelson, which was serious^ impaired by grip two years ago and which has left his throat in such a condition that be can at times speak only in a whisper. It is made absolutely necessary that he spend at least his winters in some milder climate, and accordingly he will leave next week for Aiken, S. C. This announcement will be receiv ed witli profound regret, notably by Dr. Nelson’s congregation which has grown in numbers and in liberality and in Christian activity under his ministry; but also by that wider cir cle of the community who recognize in Dr. Nelson a man of Christa' f iiety, o^apostalic zeal a vg ac ..juatiu ■1A...IUJ u wyei...— — Master Freddie Gwyer *’ MrFredBruel Bridgeport, Conn Col Claude E Sawyer City Dr L W Fargo Augusta, Ga Mr Geo DuBose Charleston John T Irving Elwood N J Mrs John T Irving “ Mr John G Evans Aiken Mr J M McKie Edgefield Park Avenue.
