The use of the surgeon’s knife is be coming so general, resulting fatally in such a large number of cases, as to occasion'general alarm. Mr. William Walpole, of Walshtown, South Dakota, writes; “About three years ago, there came under my left eye a little blotch about the size of a small pea. It grew rapidly,and shooting pains ran in every direction. I became alarmed and consulted a good doctor, who pronounced it can- |Cer, and said that it *must be cut out. This I would not consent to, having little faith in the indiscriminate use of the knife. Read ing of the many cures made by S. S. S., I determined to give that medicine a trial, and after I had taken it a few days, the cancer became irritated and began to discharge. This after awhile ceased, leaving a small scab, which finally dropped off, and only a healthy little scar remained to mark the place where the destroyer had held full sway. A Real Blood Remedy. Cancer is in the blood and it is folly toexpcct an operation to cure it. S.S.S. {"■"nrnntrrd fwr*ly nf of table) is a real remedy for every disease of the blood.

(Cdricspoadcuce A Tati Lcdfcctj Howeli/8 Kkkky, Nov. 22.—News reached here last week of the death <f Mr.*. &ac!uul Bti’ain, of IJi^ k- stock. For a long time tdie has been a ^consistent member of the Metho dist church and died in the faith of the same. She was an Israelite in deed in wh >m there is no guile. Truly has the poet said that, “Death rides on every passing breeze.” She was buried at Concord church in Fairfield county. It was my privilege to attend Ab- ington Creek yesterday and hear a very plain and practical sermon preached by Rev. Mr. Thomason, of jour citv, from Psalms 37:3. It was well suited to the times. Wo notice Bachelor John likes to play with children, the failing of all Bachelors. We were in Gaffney last week. The extreme low prices of cotton makes the fanners wear long faces, but trade continues the same, to some extent. Gaffney certainly is assuming her place in the mercantile manufacturing world. There will be a singing at S. T. Estes to night. More wheat is being sowed this year than usual. This is certainly a step in the right direction, if it only continues. Sambo. — Unclaimed Letters.
