NEWS FROM BOWMAN tk'OUNG BOY LOOSES SIGHT IN ONE EYE. Crops Are Backward.?-Great Good Being Accomplished by Audubon Society.?Other News of Interest. Bowman, June 29?Special Re gion, son of Mr. G. A. Myers, of R. F. D. No. 4 met with a serious and very painful accident on last Sat urday. It is said that he was pre paring some fat splinters for start ing fire and in bending a piece across his knee to break it, a small piece snapped off striking him in the right eye. He was brought to Bow man for medical attention, and the splinter removed, it having entered near the pupil. Mr. Myers concluded to take his son to Charleston and upon examination by Dr. Parker he stated that the eye would probably * be saved but that the sight would be a total loss. The Grass a Menace. Hoe hands are commanding a .premium now, and a wild rush is being made to destroy the grass which is beginning to hold a high head in some of the fields hereabout. It is doubted if the grass has ever bad such a foothold this late in the season before. Of course, there are many fields that are not foul and others that are clean, but generally speaking "grass is plentiful'" and the past few days of hot sunshine with ploughs running full time and the hoes "following suit" has caused much of it to be destroyed. Notwithstanding the month of July is upon the farmers and it is nearing the "lay by" time, cotton is extremely small for this date. Blooms are rare in the fields although some few were reported nearly two weeks ago. There are many fields planted on fairly good lands and well fertil ized that will not begin to show up blooms to any extent for ten days or two weeks more. Work of Audubon Society. The active work of the Audubon Society as to its success is plainly visable to any one watching along this line during the past few months. This correspondent has bee:-', from day to day many more partridges ana doves paired off than for some years. The bird law is being, respected more and more as the ropes are being .tighter drawn. The fish law is be ing openly violated in some sections, while other sections are strictly en forcing it. Some of this is done through ignorance, nevertheless, it should be looked after and straight ened out. It was said upon good authority some years ago, when the fish trap was at its zenith in Four Holes Swamp more fish were caught there than could be eaten, the bal ance were fed to hogs. It Is presum ed that this is one of the main rea sons that a fisherman can only with th hardest work get a mess of fish nowadays. Down with the fish trap, and let the \ waters be replenished ?with the "finny tribe" once again. Personal Notes. Hon. Samuel Dibble, L.

Imperfect Digestion Causes Bad Com plexion and Dull Eyes. The color iu your cheeks won't fade, the brightness in your eye wont vanish, if you keep your stomach in good condition. This was the advice of a promi nent physician to a woman's club in Boston and it is good advice.

The blood needs nourishment to carry vigor, vim and vitality to every part of the body and when food fer ments in the stomach enough nour ishment is not supplied. MIona stomach tablets give instant relief to upset stomachs, but they do more; they put strength Into the stomach and build it up so that it can easily digest a hearty meal with out giving its owner hours of misery. Miona is sold by druggists every where and by J. G. Wannamaker Mfg. Co., at 50 cents a large box. It is guaranteed to cure indigestion or any stomach distress or money back. Are There any More?
