Taken in Time Hood’s Sarsaparilla has achieved great success in warding off sickness which, if allowed to progress, would have undermined the whole system anH given disease a strong foothold to cause much suffering and even threaten death. Hood’s Sarsaparilla has done all this and even more. It has been taken In thousands of eases which were thought to be incurable, and after a fair trial has effected won derful cures, bringing health, strength and joy to the afflicted. Another important point about Hood’s Sarsaparila is that its cures are permanent, because they start from the solid foundation of purifed, vitalized and enriched blood. But it is not what we say but what Hood’s Sarsaparilla does that tells the story. 9 Ladies— Wo have just received some nice velvet that we will sell at -Ric. a yard, which cannot be bought elsewhere for less t han 75c. or $1.00 per yard.

BALTIMORE, MD. J Mr. Littlejohn Resigns and Mr. Little Withdraws from the Contest. An Agreement for Gaif- ney’s Benefit.' Mr. N. II. Littlejohn ni d Mr. W. II. Richardson have resigned as In- tendant and Warden, respectively, of the town council of Gaffney, S. C. After a conference between J. (,}. Little and N. II. Littlejohn yesterday afternoon it was mutually agreed for Mr. Littlejohn t > resign and Mr. Little to withdraw and allow some one else to he elected to fill tho posi tion of mayor. This was not agreed on until after Tut: Lt:!>';::i: had gone to pres-. Messrs. Littlejohn and Little adopted 1 his coMrso after mature consideration. They both thought it would he llie best policy to advance the interests of Gaffney. This is n patriotic move on tho part of both Mr. LUtleiidin and Mr. Little. They both make concessions for which they should lie commended. They both do this in order that the best interests of Gaffney might bo subserved. Tut: Lkhuku does not compliment these gentlemen upon their action to incur their favor, as some may think, but because it is broad-minded and generous enough to concede that even if a man acts indecent towards it he may do so in a passion caused by misrepresentnth^i and yet have the courage to do a manly act. As will be seen in another column A. N. Wood has been nominated for Intendant and J. F. Garrett for War den, to fill tho va uncies caused oy resignation of Messrs. Litlb john and Richardson. The gentlemen men tioned are competent in every partic- lar to perform the duties of the offices to which they liavi#boen nominated. f -• »- Old Pr.t’n Weird EocUnh.
