Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo., writes: “For six years I have been a sufferer from a scrofulous affection of the glands of my neck, and all of physicians in Washington, D. C., Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to reduce the enlargement. After six months’ constant treatment here, my physician urged me to submit to a re moval of the gland. At this critical mo ment a friend recommended b.b.b., and laying aside a deep-rooted preju dice against all patent medicines, I be gan its use. Before I had used one bot tle the enlargement began td disappear, and now it is entirely gone, though I am not through with my second bottle yet. Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago, I would have escaped years of misery and saved over $150.” This experience is like that of all who suffer with deep-seated blood troubles. The doctors can do no good, and even their resorts to the knife prove either fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only real blood remedy; it gets at the root of the disease and forces it out perma nently. ... x S.S.S. {guaranteed purely vegetable) A Real Blood Remedy. is a blood remedy for real blood troubles; it cures the most obstinate cases of Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism, etc., which other so-called blood reme dies fail to touch.

Now, that is a foolish question, seemingly, for us to ask, hut we did it to attract your attention. What we want to say is that we will have a special sale of shirts Saturday, June 27, at which time we propose to sell every man, woman or child who wishes to purchase a shirt at cost. We are not exagerating. We want to make a drive on shirts'and we mean what we say, so come in Saturday and get a shirt. . Yours truly, W. O. Lipscomb & Bro., The Hustlers. The last sad rites over the remains j of Mrs. William F. McArthur were concluded Monday afternoon at Lime stone cemetary. In the quiet of the early evening of the longest day of the year a vast concourse of relatives, friends and acquaintances of this noble woman met in the auditorum of the Gaffney Seminary to pay a fit ting tribute to her memory. On the rostrum were Rev. J. D. Grout, her pastor7 Rev C. E. Robertson, Rev. B. P. Robertson and Prof. R. O. Sams. Amidst the stillness of death itself, the pastor of the Methodist church preached, feelingly and tend erly, words of consolation, comfort and hope drawn from the living foun tain—God’s word. The other speak ers dwelt on the home life of the de parted—her admirable traits of char acter; her influence ever for good; her quiet, winning ways; her forget fulness of self and her thoughtfulness of others. How true it is that death breaks down all barriers. If there were any before, there were none then there are none now. All classes and con ditions of society met on the common platform of her humanity to hear the lessons drawn from a life full of hope and inspiration. Truly such a life is worthy of more than passing notice. Julia Ellen McArthur, the subject of this sketch, was born May 10, 1845. She was the daughter of Wyatt and Rebecca Lipscomb. The aged mother, four sisters and two brothers still survive her. Educated under Dr. Curtis at Limestone, on the 17th of October, 1871, she -ffas married to Prof. W. F. McArthiA ^Immediately their faces^rete-- turned westward. In an opeffouggy the two journeyed, and in Mississippi the first five years of her married life was spent amid scenes calculated to strengthen the teachings of her youth. But Gaffney needed them, and for the past nine teen years hero has been her home; here the circle of her influence. She joined the Methodist church in 1872, of which communion she remained a consistent member until the day of her death. Never demonstrative, the same even flow of her life continued in church, in her home, in the social circles. Always you knew where to find and how to approach Julia Ellen McArthur. Her fatal illness was the only one of a life that reached beyond two score years and ten. So strong she looked physically, so hopeful, so cheerful, few thought the fell-des troyer was so near. But at 2 o'clock p. m., June 21, 1896, she ft 11 asleep to awake on the other shore, where toil and trouble are no more. She is the mother of four sons and three daughters, all of whom survive her. She is not, for God took her. Took her in the prime of life, and, as we thought, of her usefulness. To our dull senses we thought she could not he spared. How little do we know of God’s plans! She lived long enough to instill into her household those imperishable principles that helped to make her own life glorious and grand. Husband has been made stronger from an association of more than a quarter of a century; the children are stronger; the world is better oil today that she has lived upon it. The pall bearers were Mayor A. N. Wood, Aldermen R. A. Jones and J. F. Garrett, Messrs. W. W. Gallo way, J. 1). Goudelock, J. V. Sarratt, S. <). B. Walker, F. G. Stacy and H. L. Spears. The funeral was perhaps the larg est in the history of GalTney. No ticeable among the sympathizing at tendants wore a number of colored people who were there to pay tribute to a noble woman who had not con fined her nobleness to her own race. What greater tribute can bo paid than to say that “all who knew her loved her." «.— —— Death of an Infant. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Copeland died at G :30 yesterday morning after an illness of several weeks. All that loving hands and skilled physicians could do availed not against the Master’s will. The remains will be intored this morning at 10 o’clock at Limestone cemetary. A short service will bo conducted at the grave. Notice to Union County Voters. J. B.

Last Sabbath was a great day at the Baptist church at Draytonville. This was Children’s Day, and pur suant to previous notice, the good people of the neighborhood and from quite a distance surrounding (and not a few present from the town of Gaff ney) turned out to encourage and join in the exercises of the day. At the appointed hour, 9:30 a. m., the superintendent of the Sunday school, our good friend and excellent citizen, R. S. (Mage, as we familiarly call him) Spencer, called the meeting to order. The regular exercises of thr Sunday school were gone through with, both teachers and pupils ac quitting themselves well, showing that the cause is flourishing in their hands. The choir interspersed the exercises with select and appropriate songs. And how those Draytonville boys and girls did sing! Why they just made the oak grove ring with sweet music—mouth music without an organ. These services being over, the pastor, Rev. Mr. White, an nounced that he would not preach a regular sermon, but would confine his remarks to a Sunday school talk. He made a very appropriate talk and drew forth lessons of truth which will doubtless bring forth fruit in years to come. C. P. Sanders, Esq., of Spartan burg. being present, and known to be a veteran in the Sunday school cause, was called upon and made an excellent talk to the people assem bled, but more especially to the children. He dwelt particularly upon the elements necessary to the building of a good character, truth and honesty. This talk will long be remembered by the boys and girls of this section and produce its fruit, wo trust, in due season. The next speaker was the Rev. P. G. Hopper, of GalTney, who sup planted the other speeches with a few minutes of solid, wholesome in struction for all in general, but the children in particular, and as re quested, closed his remarks on the good work inaugurated and being done at present by the Baptist Or phanage Home, Greenwood, S. C. His remarks on this line were very tender and sympathetic and touched many and brought tears to some while speaking of our duty towards the poor orphans of our country. Collection was taken up by the lady teachers of the Sunday school for the Orphans home and the people seemed to respond liberally to this cause. Intermission of 45 minutes was then had, and the large audience was then invited to the next exercise about to occur out in the beautiful, sbady oak grove near by, and before a long table groaning with all the substantials and delicacies, such as fried chicken, baked chicken, ham, turkey, pies, custards, pound cakes, etc., etc., such as the good mothers and fair maidens of Draytonville know how to prepare. All were sat isfied and everything passed off se renely. The dinner being over, the audience returned to the church and then heard a logical, impressive and edifying sermon by the Rev. P. G. Hopper from the text, James 1st, Chap. 21, and 22 verses. It was an excellent sermon with which all were much pleased. The minister showed that ho was at home in the pulpit, and we predict that any church might consider itself fortunate in securing his services as pastor. — •- ' Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.
