F. Ridgill, a short distance from Manning, Doctor John L. Easterling, aged about sixty-nine years. The "Old .Doctor,"as he was familiarly called, had jbean complaining for several days and on .Thursdayafternoon was in town. He con eluded to spend-the night with his friend Me B. 2K lidgili, and when he arrived at his house he was taken suddenly ill. Mr. R~lidg hurried to Manning for a physician, but before ha returded death claimed its own. The deceased was a highly educated man and on the eccentrie order, neverthe les-Lb was liked by everybody, and it mattered not where he was, his early train ing in politeness would always exhibit its self. He was dearly fond of flowers and childen. The funeral took place in the Manning cemetery. '-Red Booster" smoking and chewing to bacco,5c a twist, at Brockinton's. Thomas & Bradham are going to put every farmer in the county in a position to buy a wagon and abuggy. They have just received a car load of both. Last Thursday we happened to drop into the iarehouse and we found a number of :farmers from Salem and elsewhere 'with a .:onsidentble quantity of tobacco. The yel low leaf was stacked in piles and several :rows, and at noon Manager Wilkins sailed in anud auctioneered. Mr. Wilkins has a melodious voice, it is not quite as .up rricas that of Colonel Webb, but it is -u~icitly ca to distinguish it from the fdling of a sa the squeeking of an ~old wooden axle wagon wheel, the voice is -is and it is all right.. Mr. Wilkins took the dioor and following him w'as a buyer ~from Danville, another from Smithville, and several others watching an opportunity to light down on a bargain,butthat class did mnot do much, they were kept busy phewing et the prices ground out under the in luence of the chirruping r.u ses of Mr. Wil ikinis, "and a alf, a aMf, yate, steen, steen, etce. The prices were gooc and everybody seemed pleased. Cards were tucked in two instances, but later the parties tucking the cards sold at the prices brought at the sale. Mr. A. B. Windham told asthathe received about ten dollars more for hisilobacco than *he expected, and Mr. Samuel Beardon was another wh, made a better average than he expected. We do ndt know who it is, but somebody hasa tried to create the impres sion that this warehouse has suspended operation; the falsity of such a rumor can be seen by coming here and see the a-m and push Manager Wilkins is putting into the business. He says that he does not ex pect t'o make any money this year. but that the warehouse is an established institution and it will succeed despite the croakers who would kick if offered the earth and the fullness thereof. DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by loca~l applications as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor mal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in fiamied condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars fo: any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh] that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh 'Jure. Send for oirculars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0. ,erSnMd by Druggists, 75c. A GOOD MAN GONE TO HIS REWARD. Died last Monday, after a long illness, Hon. James E. Davis, aged about 52 years. 'Jr. Davis was one of the most popular men in the county, which is evidenced by his long and continuous public service. When but a youth he responed to his conn. tr s call and entered the army in the Sprott Guards. In 1876 whe. Hampton 'ub'y led to overthrow the yoke of oppres souiburdening the people, Mr. Davis ren dered herculean service. In 1880 the peo pie recognizing his worth elected him clerk of court, which position h,, b eld to the present. He was a lover ot Masonry and was for several years master of St. Peters' lodge. He was also one of th strong pillars of the Presbyterian church and for many years was one of its elders. Mr. Davis was high in the councils of his party and served for several terms on both the State and county ex.autive committees. He was noted for his good judgment and strict integrity and also for his liberality and charity. He was a friend of the people and many a one will miss him. The fu neral took place yesterday in the Presby terian church. Rev. James McDowell, as sisted by Rev. W. H. Hodges, officiated. The church was filled with friends, and af ter the sermon St. Peters' Lodge of Masons concluded the burial service at the ceme tery. Among the afsonic brethren were representatives from Summerton and For eston. In the death of James E. Davis the public lost a true and trusted servant, the church a consistent member and the coun try a grand citizen. In a recent letter to the manufacturers Mr. W. F. Benjamin, editor of the Specta tor, Rushford, N. Y., says: "It may be a pleasure to you to know the high esteem in which Chamberlain's medicines are held by the people of your own State, where they must be best known. An aunt of mine, who resides at Dexter, Iowa, was about to visit me a sew years since, and be fore leaving home wrote me, asking if they were sold here, stating if they were not she would bring a quantity with her, as she did not like to be without them." The medicines referred to are Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, famous for its cures of colds and croup; Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheumatism, lame back, pains in the side and chest; and Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for bowel complaints. These medicines have been in constant use in Iowa for almost a quar ter of a century. The people have learned that they are articles of great worth and merit. and unequaled by any other. They are for sale here by R. B. Loryea, the drug gist. From all accounts Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a Godsend to the affiicted. There is no advertisement about this; we feel just like saying iL-The Democrat, Carrollton, Ky. For sale by R. B. Loryea, the druggist. TEACHERS ASSOCIATION. Mr. Editor:-I noticed in your last issue a letter from Mr. Gee, asking those interested in forming a Teach ers Association to communicate with him through the Times, and while I am not now a teacher, still I am deeply interested in the caus6 of ed cation and my idea was to try and form such an association when I go into office, but since Mr. Gee has al ready started it, I shall be pleased to assist in any way I can if they will let me, fpr I am satisfied it is a good thing and much good can be accom plished. I think it would be well to appoint aday and let those interest come together and organize for I think all will finally come in. With best wishes for success. W. S. RICHBOURG. Panola, S.
