Last Saturday afternoon Mr. Hen ry A. Tisdale received $329 from Mr. C. M. Davis, at his store about reven miles from Manning, as the proceeds of some cotton. He was horseback, and placed the money in one of his hip pockets. By some means it worked out, and when he got to Man ning to his dismay he discovered that he had lost the entire sum. He has been unable since to hear of it. The loss is very considerable. We hope Mr. Tisdale may yet recover hia money.

Cooxnono, S. C., Oct. 31, 1888. Dear Mr. Tucker: I want to write you about a matter that gives me great and much mortified concern. You know wher. the Candidates were go ing round electioneering the past summer, lots and cords of them staid at my house sometimes three and four dep. I fed them and their horses free gratis, and if the canvass had of lasted long enough I would have lost seed for my next chicken and corn crops. They were, however, mighty polite, and told me if I ever went to town to come right to their houses and stay as long as I pleased. This I thought to be all right, as "turn about is fair play," so as I was drawn on the jury last court I concluded to divide my time among them. When I got to town I called on three of them, and "lo and behold" they all arose with some excuse, so that I could not stay. I was so put out that I took to the woods and camped out. I don't blame them much, but it looked sorter suspicious, and I want to know what you think of it? but don't tell any one about this letter. Yours truly, JOHN SLATBON. Well, John, as you live on my side of the river and are a kind of na bo:. I will answer your letter truly and frankly, and if I hit some pretty hard licks it is done for a good pur pose. To tell you the truth I have little thought or opinion about the mat ter. Was there not some good rea son why you were apparently treated thusly? I was in town when you ar rived, John, and from your appear ance with your red eye, you had been where there was some hard cider, leastwise your breath smelled very curious; and you had the shakiest legs for a sober man to stand on I ever saw. Now, I don't say you was drunk, but I was kinder dubious of your sound temperance character. Therefore, who is it that wishes as a guest of his family an idiotic, drunk en man? Then if my supposition be correct you have no need of complaint. I am sure I was not treated in that manner, for if I had partaken of all the good things their hospitality prof fered me I would have been been --ite unwell Another thing, John, the simple reason that you voted for these Gentlemen, gives you no claim upon their hospitality. Because they have been elected to office is no rea son that they should maintain first class boarding houses for the accom modation of every voter that voted foi them. Why ! the idea is prepos terous. The better plan, John, would' be for you to pay as you go or don't go, like every independent nian. Don't say you didn't have the money. You did, for yogi spent enough treat ing and slashing around to have paid. every legitimate expense while in town, but it appears you wanted tr splurge round and make people be lieve that you were one of the "Big en" of Coonboro, when every one knew you were running an ox farm, anid poor as a church mouse. Honor able poverty is no disgrace but decep tion in any manner or form is despi cable. Now, John, you were not the only fellow splurging in town during court. There were others, whose families are now suffering from the lavish and wanton expenditure of money by their respective heads, and for what? Absolutely nothing. Alas! John; I think it must be the bitterest pill your poor wife has to swallow to know that while want is in your household, and she and your little ones denied the comforts of life, that you, the hus band and father, was squandering your earnings while absent in such aI questionable manner. Itis to be hoped that the day is not far distant when all of us will hav-e and enjoy a higher conception of life and its pro prieties. SHoping that you will not be dis pleased at the frank manner in which I have written you and thit you will burn this reply, I am your friend, DAVE TUICKER. THEIR BUSINESS BOO)MING.

When a hundred bottles of sarsaparilla 0: other p-etentions sfecifics fail to eradicat< in-born scrofula or contagions blood poison, remember that B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) has gained many thousand victories, in as many seemingly incurable instances. Send to the Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga., for "Book of Wonders," and be convinced. It is the on4 TRUE rLOOD PCUIFIERI. G. W. Messer, Howell's X Roads, Ga., writes: "I was aillicted nine years with sores. All the mcdicine I couldl taka did ine no good. I then tried B. B. B., and 8 bottles cured inc sound." Mrs. S. M. Wilson, Round Mountain. Texas, writes: "A lady friend of mine was troubled with bumps and pimples on her face and neck. She took three bottles of B. B. B., and her skin' got soft and smooth, pimples disappeared, and her health im proved greatly." Jas. L. Bosworth, Atlanta, Ga., writos: "Some years ago I contracted blood poison. I had no appetite, my digestion was ruined, rheumatism drew up my limbs so I could hardly walk, my throat was cauterized five times. Hot Springs gav' me no benefit, and my life was one of torture until I gave B. B. B. a trial, and surprising as it may seem,.the use of five bottles cured me." ROYAL INa ' POWWDER Absolutely Pure.
