them and they will be returned promptly

Baseball News.
The baseball spirit iu Bamberg just
now has the right of way. Our boys have
organized a crack team, and we will no
doubt witness some good games here
during the summer. The park is to be
fenced iu this week, a lease having been
obtained upon the ground for a term of
five years. A number of other improvements
will also be made at the park, and
it is to be hoped that our people will
liberally patronize tins tascinating spori
during the season and thus encourage the
young men who are endeavoring to
furnish entertainment for the dull summer
months.
There will be three good games here
1 next week, on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, when the team from Wavnes'
boro, Ga., will come here for three games.
These games will no doubt be fine exhii
bitions, as Waynesboro has a semi-proI
fessional team.

Ehrhardt's Dispensary.
The county board of control has received
a letter from the State board in regard
to the Ehrhardt dispensary matter.
Two petitions were preseuted: one to
' close the dispensary at that place and one
against. The State board has declined to
> act in the matter, and give as their reason
J that no charges were preferred by those
, who wish the dispensary closed. Mr.
' Williams wrote the letter for the board.
- and states that the legislature has given
f authority for the opening of dispeusaries,
and for his board to close them simply on
e the ground that the signers to the petition
are opposed to the sale of liquor in
i. any form, would be an attempt at legislaz
tion on their part. So they declined to
t?kp artion. and it is likely that the dis
e pensary at Ehrhardt is a fixture.

ding was a quiet affair, beautiful in its 0
quiet elegance and studied simplicity. ^
Only the immediate relatives and friends .
of the bride and groom were present. .
The invited guests had assembled dur- J

March, to the soft sounds of which Rev. v

Next came the groom, Mr. Austin R. g
Neal, accompanied by his best man, Mr. a
C. I. Preston, also of Roanoke. Following
them closely came Miss Margaret t
Eaves, the maid of honor. Then came

the ceremony proceeded, the beautiful 8
straius, "O Promise Me" filled the room.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, c
amidst a shower of congratulations and
good wishes, the wedding party and f
guests repaired to the dining room, where p
an elegant supper was served, in the old- ,
time Southern manner for ^hich Mrs.
Dowling is famous. After supper the a
bride's cake was cut, the ring being found *
by Miss Neal. Miss Carrie Free received 5
the darning needle, and Mrs. C. E. Fish- i
burne the dime. It was about 12.30 i
o'clock before the party adjourned. j

silk, trimmed in grape applique and
riomi train and veil, and
tUlUWU) T1 nu viviui ? ,

nent young business man of Roanoke, *
Ya., and holds an important position with

for Virginia in a few days. *
School Site Selected. J
The building committee for the new
graded school building held a meeting
last Monday morniug aud decided on a
site for the building. They were negotiating
for several lots, aud finally decided l
to buy the O'Neal property on lower ^
Main street, opposite the residence occu- \
pied by Mr. Spanu Steadman. ' The lot l
contains three acres, and the price paid
was $1,150. It contains a cottage of several
rooms, now occupied by Mr. O'Neai, a 1
barn, stables, etc. It is the purpose of the 1
committee to move the dwelling on one 1
corner of the lot and fix it up for the use <
of the superintendent of the school, Jhus ]
placing him where he can take good care ,
of the school building. The committee ,
expect to begin work on the building at
an early date, and the bonds will no
doubt be offered for sale in a very short
time.

POINTS ABOUT TURTLES.
Phey Are Not So Much Like One Another
aa Meny People Think.
In moist places in tlie fields ami
aeadows may be found the wood toroise,
a sober sort of tusti%y>f a brown
r reddish brown color anove, the shell
laving a ridge in its middle along the
tack, says Nature Study. Each plate of
he shell underneath has a black
>lotch.
Id mud boles and in small ponds, ofen
resting on a log or stone above the
rater, one may almost always find the
tainted turtle, which has the margin
if the shell marked red, while the shell
inderneath is yellow. These turtles
.re not so easily captured as the wood
urtles, for they are rather timid and
iften slip Into the water when ap roached,
but with patience and in;euuity
they can be outwitted at last
nd one secured for examination.
It will be rare good fortune to find a
urtle at a meal and see him hold his
ood, sometimes with one fore foot,
ometimes with the other, but never
vith both at once, as cats and dogs
iften do.
After watching him for awhile try to
ind whether he always draws his tail
n on the same side of his box house,
experiment with the same turtle over
md over; then sometimes try other turles
in the same way and find out for
'ourself whether turtles vary in this
natter of hiding away their tails. This
s more important than you can imag?
- T* "II nnlmnlo nnrl nlnntsi nf
lit?. 11 ail U1C UUiUKWO uu%4 Whe
same sort were always tlie same
here would never be any change In
he living world.
Count the toes on the fore feet and
in the hind feet, noticing whether
here are the same number all around.
Is you find other turtles, particularly
n different parts of the country, if you
ravel about, or in such museums as
rou can visit, see what differences you
an find in this matter of the number
ind arrangement of turtles' toes. It is
lot so silly as it may appear to some
>eople. Notice also that some turtles
lave webbed feet, to enable them to
twim the better.
Manage in some way to open the turle's
mouth and find whether it has
:eetb, or only hard and rather sharp
cutting edges along the jaws. Touch
:he eyes gently with a small stick and
?ee the turtle draw a thin skin over
hem. This is the third eyelid, the same
is in hens, pigeons and birds generally.
Notice that the feet and tail are covered
with scales; then some time examne
the foot of a hen or pigeon and see
hat they are scaly also. In this matter
of the third eyelid and the scales
he birds and the turtles have features
n common. Perhaps some time you
ivill learn how it happened and will
Ind it a very interesting story?New
fork Tribune.
Appropriating a Crest.
There is a restaurant keeper with a
lew and capacious place on the upper
irest side about whom a story is going
the rounds. This "mine host" makes
io secret of the fact that when he arrived
in America a9 a youth he had
more fingers and toes than dollars and
that it is due to his own industry that
tie now can command his little army
if cooks, waiters and other help. When
tie opened an addition to his rooms recently,,
his friends were surprised to
see a crest emblazoned conspicuously
in various parts of the wall. The glassware
also bears the crest
"i say, Pat," said a friend recently,
14where did you get that crest?"
"That belonged to a king of my name
tn Ireland," was the reply.
"And I suppose you were one of the
royal family?"
"Well, I don't know," was the confl
dential reply. "I looked it up in the
Astor library. There were several hundred
years to account for, but I thought
I'd take a chance."?New York Times.
Fiadinp: More Material.
"How large is your Mammoth cave?'
asked the foreign tourist
"Nobody knows exactly," saia tne native.
"It's so large, though, and people
get lost in it so easily, that when a
man is about to explore it he makes his
will and wishes his weeping friends
goodby."
"Most astonishing! I never heard that
before!"
"Oh, well, of course, it isn't quite so
bad as that. I was only joking."

is that when they tell an amazing

True Marey.
"Prisoner," said the judge, "you are
convicted of bigamy, of having married
two wives. Have you any plea for
mercy before the sentence of the court
is imposed on you ?*
"Yes, judge," said the prisoner. "Give
me as big a sentence in jail as you
can."
"What?"
"I want to keep out of the clutches of
those two wives as long as I can, and a
long jail sentence will be true mercy."

Charity*
Charity itself commands us, where
we know no ill, to think well of all.
But friendship, that always goes a
pitch higher, gives a man a peculiar
right and claim to the good opinion
of his friend.
Great men should think of opportunity
and not of time. Time is the excuse
of feeble minded and puzzled spirits?Disraeli.
Ladies and Children Invited.
All ladies and children who cannot stand
the strain of laxative syrups,cathartics,etc
are invited to try the famous little early
risers. They are different from other pills.
They do not purge the system. A double
dose will not gripe, weaken or sicken;
many people call them the easy pill. W.
! H. Howell, Houston, Tex., says nothing
better can be used for sick headache, constipation,
etc. Bob Moore, Lafayette, Ind.,
says others gripe and sicken, while DeWitt's
little early risers do their work
well and easy. Sold by Dr. H. F. Hoover,

Paine's Celery
Compound
Cures
DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION,
AND STOMACH TROUBLES.
The tortures and evils of dyspepsia and
indigestion are experienced by thousands at
this time. The dyspeptic's train of evils
may be enumerated as follows: feelings ol
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache, distension of the stomach, loss of
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action of the
heart is seriously affected.
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly banished
by the use of Paine's Celery Compound.
The use of this marvelous medicine allays the
inflammation of the nerves centred about the
stomach; it opens up the sewers of the body
and removes all waste matter; it cleanses the
blood; it makes new nerve fibre; it restores
digestive power, and promotes bodily strength
and activity. Mr. Fred. Ross, Clarendon,
Iowa, briefly writes about his happy experi|
ence with Paine's Celery Compound as
i follows:?
44 It gives me great pleasure to testify to the
merits of Paine's Celery Compound. I can
candidly and honestly say it is the best medicine
in the world. Two years ago I was suffering
from indigestion and nervousness, and
was so run down that I could hardly walk
without help. I used two bottles of Paine's
Celery Compound and got better almost from
the first dose, and have had no use for medicine
since. I was completely cured."
