Notes From Lyra.
We are having lots of rain and
farmers are having a tough time
to save fodder. They are about
done—or at least quite done—cur
ing the golden leaf.
We are having some sickness in
our midst just now. Mrs. E. Ward
is ill at her home.
.Mr. Sam Castine of Pine Grove,
is in our midst for a while.
There is a fine flowing well at

The Oak Grove Literary
ciety met Thursday evening.
There was a large crowd present
and the exercises were very attrac
tive. Some of the little girls were
so attractive that I think some of
the boys strayed off from home
just a little while.
The river stays so red that some
of our boys are getting over anxious
for a bait of the inhabitants there
of.
We notice the cotton crop not
so good as we thought for a while.
Rain caused it to shed some of its
Iruit.
Rev. Mr. Harris preached a very
interesting sermon at Oak Grove
August I4, in the afternoon.
There will be a series of meet
ings held at Oak Grove commenc
ing August 28 in the morning.

to comply with the law:

Company; sample drawn at

Mr. Townsend has written to
Mr. Smith, instructing him how
to proceed in actions to be
brought, and has offered such co
operation as the Attorney Gener
al’s office can give.
It may be mentioned that this
is the first action of this kind
which has taken any definite
shape. There have been a num
ber of companies heretofore which
sold goods below the “guaranteed
mercial value,” but nothing ever
came of the cases
It is to be remembered that the
samples examined were only of
one bag and one brand of the
goods made by the several com
panies. The suits will be brought
against the agents of the com
panies in this State, and if some
of the companies have no agents
in the State, against the princi
pals, and extradition papers may
be asked for in case the parties de
cline to come here for trial.”
A Leltrr From the Holdteni of Spain ti
“Noble Hold lent of Aiuericn.”
We take from the News
Courier a copy oi a letter addressed
to General Shafter by the Spanish
soldiers. Another letter by ti
is addressed to the American
diers which we cannot publish
account of want of space.
These are remarkable let
and have the ring of chivalrj
them.
Washington, Aug. 22—A
ument entirely unique in the j
nals of warfare was cabled to-day
to the war department by Gempral
Shafter. It is in the form of a con
gratulatory farewell address issued
to the soldiers of the American
army by Pedro de Lopez de Cas
tillo, a private Spanish soldier on
behalf of 11,000 Spanish soldiers.
No similar document was perlkps
issued before to a victorious army
by a vanquished enemy.
The president was much im
pressed by the address, and ktter
reading it carefully authorized its
publication. Following is the
text of the address as cabled by
Gen. Shafter.
Santiago, August 22, 1898—11.-
17 p. m.—H. C. Corbin, Adjutant
General, Washington. Thef fol
lowing letter' has just beeh re
ceived from the soldiers not em
barking for Spain:
To Major General Shafter, com

Cuba—Sir
who «*pUu
the 16th of Juljy last, ne^pognui^g
j’bur high and just position, pray
that through jipu all the courageous
and noble solfliers under you com
mand may receive our good wishes
and farewell,/which we send them
on embarking for our beloved
Spain. For this favor, which we
have no doubt you will grant, you
will gain the everlasting gratitude
and consideration of eleven thous
and Spanish soldiers, who are
your most humble servants.

Manila Matters.
London, Aug. 23.—The Hong
Kong correspondent of the Daily
Mail says: “Several American
warships will return here and
dock when Great Britain shall
have recognized the peace between
the two countries.
“Gen. Merritt and Agninaldo
have agreed that the latter shall
govern ontside of Manila. No in
surgent will be allowed inside the
city with arms.”
The Daily Mail’s correspondent
says: “Gen. Jaudemes telegraphs
that the Americans have taken
possession of the Spanish head
quarters for their own troops and
that the Spanish troops are en
camped in the Cathedral quarter.
Their condition is bad. Gen.
Jandemes recommends their
prompt repatriation in order to
prevent the outbreak of an epi
demic.”

Another great discovery bar
been made, and that too, by a ladv
in thiscountry. ‘‘Disease fastened
its clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood its severest
tests but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed im
minent- For three months she
coughed incessantly, and could
not sleep. She finally discovered
a way to recovery, by purchasing
of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New
Discovery for consumption, and
was so much rqjieved ou taking
first dose that she slept all night;
and with two bottles, has been ab
solutely cured. Her name is Mrs.

If not cured they lead to car

Boils, or their more aggravated
form of carbuncle, surely indicates
a diseased condition of the blood,

symptoms, or they may lead to
more serious diseases. Eat the

Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.)
Mrs. W. A. Steed, of Augusta,
Ga., had boils for several years
past, as well as a carbuncle over
the right eye. This spring she
felt the symptoms of boils coming
on again. While sewing she
would prick the skin with her
needle. The little sores would
fester. She took two bottles of
Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.)
and was entirel cured, and she
passed the sj ring without the an
noying boils and possible return
of a carbuncle. Her blood was re
lieved of a poison matter by B. B.
B., which is a powerful blood
remedy.
J. D. Watkins, Blakely, Ga.,
writes: “Old sores Covered my
entire person and itched intensely
night and day. For several months
1 could not work at all. 1 com
menced the use of Botanic Blood
Balm (B. B. B.) and began to
grow better the first week, and am
now sound and well, free from
sores and itching, and at work
again.”
Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.)
is a scientific vegetable compound
used by Dr. Gilman in his private
practice for blood diseases such as
old seres, 'scrofuttr,* ‘ '
poison, etc. It cured so many
people that it was put on the mar
ket 17 years ago and is for sale by
all druggists at $1.00 per large
bottle. It has always enjoyed a
large sale because it

About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had
an attack of diarrhoea accompanied
by vomiting. I gave it such rem
edies as are usually given in such
cases, but as nothing gave relief,
we sent for a physician and it was
under his care for a week. At this
time the child had been sick for
ten days and was having about
twenty-five operations of the
bowels every twelve hours, and we
were convinced that unless it soon
obtained relief it would not live.
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was recom
mended, and I decided to try it.,
I soon noticed a change for the
better; by its continued use a com
