Mr. Elias Mauldin, of the Easley section, was a welcome visitor in town Monday, as a gay as a peacock. The reason was that he wore a beautiful gray jeans suit "made in Pick ens county." The suit was woven and made by Mrs. Fred Williams. The first snow of the season -here fell Saturday night, barely covering the ground.

There is only one way to cure. deafness. and that Is by constitutional 'remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condi tion of the MUCOUS lining of the Eusta chian Tube. when this tube Is inftamed you have a runbling sound or Imperfect he-rlng and when it Is entirely closed. Deafness IS the reult, and unless the in flammatlon can be taken Out- and tfl-3 tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of the mucous surfaces. We w c gvoneHudred Dollars forany case of Um-m-m! The other day white we were sitting under the juniper tree watching a tussle for supremecy between the sun and the clouds our mouth was watering for a good juicy apple and we were trying to figure out a scheme whereby we could get the four cents we lacked having enough to buy a nickel's worth of the luscious f r u i t, when Capt. "Billy" Allgood drove up and stopped in front of our sanctum sanctorium. We went over to greet the genial captain and he handed us a basket with a peck of apples in it, saying he had to come to town and just before he left his wife said he had better bring The Sentinel boys a few apples. (We sure are glad Mrs. Allgood happened to think about that.) The apples WERE of the Shockley variety, in fact pure Shockleys, and were just right for eating purposes. From the one small tree from which these apples were gathered Mr. Allgood gathered four bushels of apples. This present and thoughtful ness were greatly appreciated by us and we assure Mr. and Mrs. Allgood of our hearty thanks. . Notice of Sale I will sell at my home to the highest bidder on SaturdayJan. 2, 1915, the following property: Two mules, one good Cutaway harrow, one Deering reaper, al most new, one Deering mowing machine and rake, one buggy and harness, one Chattanoora disc plow, one Acme smoothing harrow, and other farming tools. F. A. Hughes, Pickens, S. C. 33 Rey. N. G. Ballenger, who at one time was pastor of the Pick ens Methodist church and lov ingly remembered heie, was re cently assigned to the Seneca district in the Anderson district. For the past year or two Mr. Ballenger has been unable to preach regularly on account of ill health. ___ When Rev, and Mrs. L. E. Wiggins returned home from a visit to his mother in the lower part of the state Satur day they found that the members of the Methodist church had paid the parsonage a visit and left an abundance of groceries and other useful articles a.s a small token of their love and esteem for the popular pastor and wife. The people of Pickens are glad that Mr. Wiggins was returned to this charge. The revenue officers and con stables have been on the job in Pickens county lately.- Only last week they destroyed four illicit distilleries and more than 3,500 gallons of beer in this county, all in the upper part of the county, one of the largest copper stills being on Laurel Fork mountain. The beer de stroyed would have made nearly 00gallons of whiskey. The of ficers also seized several gallons of shipped whiskey in different parts of the county last week. Messrs. Wade Chastain, of near Pickens, and W. J. Bridges and Ferb Finley, of Easley, hunters of wide renown and reputation, spent two days last week hunting in the Rock Bot tom section of the county with much success. Among the ani mals they killed was one of the largest wild cats ever seen in the county. They sent the skin of the wild cat to a taxidermist in Greenville and it will doubt less be on exhibition in Easley or Pickens. IBill Bowen, one of the best known and most respected col ored citizens of this county, died at his home near Secona church Saturday night,after a protract ed illness. Old Bill was an hon? est and industrious negro and had accumulated a nice prop perty. He was a small boy in slavery time and belonged to the Loopers of this county and his ways were typical of the'6Id time darky. Years ago, before The Sentinel put in an engine, Bill used to turn the "big" press every week and he always did his work quietly and well, never shirking. He leaves a large family. His body was laid to iest in the colored people's sec tion of Secona cemetery. Last Sunday saw the inaug uration of the "blue laws" in Pickens, and now nothing but medicine can be bought here on Sunday, and it is said that you have to be pretty sick before ou can get any medicine. You have to be suffering from some thing at least as bad ;;s a snake bib it is said. Picktns has had a Su a closing law for some years, -h- s not been en forced, beca ie majority of the peoplc did n eem to be in favor of it being rig' ly enforced. We understand th a recently circulated petition v~ s the cause tof law being put bac into effect. In regard to the unday law Pickens is now in t class with Columbia, Anders n, Easley and Rice's Crossing.
