It is exceptional to find a family where there are no domestic ruptures, but these can be lessened by having Dr. King's New _ Life Pills around. Much trouble they save by great work in stomach and liver troubles. They not only relieve you, but cure. 2oo, at Dr. J. B. Black's and H. C. Rice's. A Thrifty Young Gentleman. One day last week, a well-dressed young man approached a Lumberton grocer and ? said, "See here; I don't know you nor do yon know me, but I don't mind telling you that I am strapped, and I want you to credit me withten cents worth of goods." "All right; certainly," said the sympathizing merchant. "What will you have?" "Give me a bar of that soap," said the young man, and he bought a long, yellow bar of laundry soap, and, taking his knife, deliberately cut it into small pieces, remarking that the people liked to be humbugged, and that he would gratify them. He then asked for some tinfoil that had come off tobacco, neatly wrapped up his soap, and went out. Twice he returned and bought more soap, paying for the first bar, of course, and before the even4 ing train, he came and showed the grocer a handful of change, remarking that he could now leave town, but the funny part , ' is, when the grocer went home he learned that his wife had bought two pieces of the soap.?Lumberton (N. C.) Argus. A PRISONER IN HER OWN HOUSE Mrs. W. H. Layha, 1001 Agnes Ave., Kansas City, Mo.,has for years been troub4 led with severe hoarseness and a cough, which she says, "Would keep me in doors for days. I was prescribed for by physicians with no noticeable results. A friend gave me part of a bottle of Chamberlain's CoughRemedy with instructions to follow the directions and after the first day I o nhflnorft for the better, and at this ilVUWVU ( VMMMQ time after using it for two weeks, have no hesitation in saying that I am entirely cured." This remedy is for shle by Bamberg Pharmacy; H. C. Kice, Denmark. Shaw's Pure Malt has a marvelous dietetic value. While refreshing and pleasant to take, it helps assimilation of food.

The tallpct. hnilriinc on earth is to be erected in lower Broadway, New York, if present plans are carried out. "With five stories below the street level, forty stories high from the entrance to the top floor and surmounted by a sixty foot tower, the gigantic new building will have a total height^of 615 feet, making it over twice as high as the Flatiron Building, and almost as tall again as the Park Row building which at present holds the record. This building is to extend one full block on Broadway and its cost including the site, will reach $10,000,000. The land is said to have been bought and the completion of the building within one year is promised. IMPERFECT DIGESTION , Means less nutrition and in consequence less vitality. When the liver fails to secrete bile, the blood becomes loaded with bilious properties; digestion becomes impaired and bowels constipated. Herbine will rectify this; it gives tone to the stomach, liver and kidneys, strengthens the appetite, clears and improves the complexion, infuses new life and vigor to the whole system. 50 cents a bottle.

Bucklen's Arnica Salve will kill the pain and cure the trouble. It the best salve on earth for piles, too. 2oc at Dr. J. B. Black's, Bamberg; H. C. Rice's, Denmark. LANGUAGE OF THE HAND. O .??? * T* ?. r.na. I gcoxceif U scuuiucui am. am ble of Expressing. When a lover ventures for the first time to grasp the haud of bis charmer she either withdraws it, and that is as much as to say, "I have no heart for you," or she suffers it which is the same as if she said, "He whom I permit to touch my hand may hope also to touch my heart." In lovers' quarrels, indeed, the hand is withdrawn to express anger, but soon extended again in token of reconciliation. Who can tell all that is said by the hand which another is conveying to the lips to have a kiss imprinted upon it? This is done either slowly or hastily, either with trembling or boldly, and expresses civility or respect gratitude or love. Two hand6 are folded together?their owner prays; the folded hands are raised?he solicits something; they are rubbed one against the other?he is impatient The raised finger threatens; when bent it beckons; when extended it points. Two fingers produce the snap, a sign of contempt or defiance. The hand gives; the hand receives. ' Both speak aloud. The hand likewise answers by a repulsive motion. A finger placed upon the lips inculcates discretion. The ancients represented the god of silence in this attitude. How they have represented Venus everybody knows. The hand of the goddess says, "1 am bashful." The Graces take each other by the hand, as much as to say, "We ought to be indivisible." Two bands firmly grasping each other are the symbol of fidelity. The cliDched fist bespeaks rage and revenge, tbe hollowed band Implores alms, the hand laid upon the 1 *- linnil nnnn the fnra. ueun yruitrsLa, LUC uauu ~? head thinks, and the hand behind the ear expresses difficulties. In a word, there is scarcely a sentiment which the hand is not capable of expressing, and it not only completely supplies the place of the mouth in speaking, but also, rather imperfectly, in kissing, for when the lips cannot approach the beloved object the hand throws kisses to her.?New Orleans Times-Democrat J i Bank of Branchville. At a recent meetingjof the stockholders of the Branchville Bank the following officers and directors were elected: J. R. Hamilton, president; X. P. Smoak, vice president; J. M. Tucker, cashier; L. H.
