"Saved From the Horror* of Nervous Pros
tration" by Dr. Miles' Nervine.
IN “THE CITY BY THE SEA."
»/*
n
COUGH does not always indicate
consumption. Mr. W. II. Palmer, of
Waterloo, Iowa, writes: "I was taken
slith a nervous stricture of the bronchial
tubes, which developed into nervous pros
tration, I was so weak I could not sit up. I
got no sleep for days except when under the
influence of opiates. For four months I suf
fered agonies and prayed that I might die
I and be at rest. One
physician said I had
| consumption, for I had
a cough that gave me
no rest. But a good
old physician whose
medicine had failed,
| advised me to use Dr.
Miles’ Bestorati ve
Nervine and I thank God that it has bright
ened my days, lengthened my life and saved
me from the horrors of nervous prostration."

CHEROKEEANS HAVE A JOLLY
GOOD TIME.
How the Excursionists Passed the
Time Away—The "Gags” they
Have Been Getting Off
on Each Other.
Despite the inclement weather and
many newly accinatod arms the
jolly band of i tcuraionists that left
last Tuesday week for a trip to the
‘‘city by the sea” had an enjoyable
time. Everyone was looking forward
to having ‘‘a hot time in the old
town that night.” While at Camden
Junction came the telegram bearing
the sad news of the sudden death of
Mr. Jack Littlejohn, causing Mr. T.
If. Littlejohn to turn back to the
scene of sadness just when he was
enjoying himself most. This threw
a damper over the joyful crowd, and
the ride was a sad one from there on
to Charleston, for everyone was full
of sympathy for our worthy com
panion.
Everything went along smoothly
along the route and we landed in
Charleston about one hour aud a
quarter late and repaired to our re
spective hotels for the night. We
were met at the depot by members of
Lite Young Men’s Business League,
who showed us every attention possi
ble and gave us full directions as to
which cars to take, where to stop,
etc. After making all arrangements
for our stay wo proceeded to take in
the city by gaslight, and we saw
a good deal of the beautiful city be
fore we ’.tired. We retired a little
late, however, on account of having
to take Tommie Cole by force from
a large music box on King street, and
had we not taken him away, no
doubt he would have been there yet,
for he seemed inclined to want to
stay with it. Then, too, we had
trouble in removing Mr. Poliakoil
from a restaurant, where he fell in
love with a beautiful waitress and
was trying to make arrangements for
her to move to Gaffney and be his
own waitress so long as they both
should live, but we finally landed
him in bed, though 'he swore he
would have her send his meals to
Gaffney hereafter. After disposing
of these two young men in the man
ner aforesaid we retired for the night.
Early next morning we werj invited
to meet at F. W. Wagners, where the
crowd soon assembled and from there
took a trip over to Sullivan’s Island.
We all enjoyed the ride and had a
nice time generally, though a few
things happened on this trip which we
must relate. General Jimmie Cook
was much pleased with the way the
’•pug” boats towed the large barges
around, and Chas. Wood upon spying
a small anchor on board the boat did
not hesitate to pronounce it the larg
est “plow” he had ever seen, and the
largest catfish Bob Jones ever saw
turned out to be a huge porpoise
which happened to be on a fishing
tour along side the boat. Smith
Cook pulled off his hat and offered to
bet .$5.00 that he could wade that
pond anywhere, for, he said, it was
too wide to be deep; then Doc Ross,
Sam Daniels, Ed. Eison and Faul
Gaffney were entirely taken in by a
very nice old lady who met them on
the Island and told them that just
about two blocks up there were a
number of small pistols which had
been placed there for distribution and
if they would hurry ahead of the
crowd they could secure at least one
apiece, and of course they were hunt
ing for souvenirs and consequently
ran themselves nearly to death to get
there, when to their disgust they
were confronted with three large,
new style dynamite guns weighing
about ten or twelve tons each. It is
not necessary to say that they did'nt
put them in their pockets. J. I.
Sarratt didn't see any ‘’exits” on
this trip—at least we didn’t hear him
say so. When we again landed in
Charleston and Mr. Luther Byars un
covered his eyes and asked if “she’d
lit,” we proceeded to get off the boat,
when the band scattered and every
man went where he pleased and ’twas
then we discovered who were the
most libera’ gentlemen in the crowd.
They were J. N. and R. S. Lipscomb,
who at this stage of the game told
their wives they were compelled to
attend to some business, and loading
the ladies’ purses with fifty cents
apiece, placed them in charge of
Mr. X. Lipscomb and urged
them to spend every bit of it
and have a nice time, and we
know if they didn’t it wasn’t because
they didn’t have money enough.
The whole crowd reported as hav
ing a very nice time during the af
ternoon except Col. Butler, who was
invited to a 5 o’clock tea, and having
missed his dinner that day was ex
pecting to make somebody sorry that
he came, for he was rather on the
hungry order. It is needless to say,
however, that he didn't get “filled,”
as the eating part of that business
was a sham. We think, judging from
the Col.'s make up, that he prefers
larger dishes and more on his plate
than one generally gets at a recep
tion of that kind.
Messrs. Isaac Peeler and J. W.
Sparks after examining a thirty
pound coon in the city market de
cided that he was a new specimen of
bear, but were promptly notified by
| the owner that he was a genuine
coon. We suppose they were satis
fied.
Then Barney Clary created quite
a sensation in a prominent hotel one
night by dreaming too hard. The
facts of the case are as follows: Bar
ney is a great lover of stock and bad
spent the day at the stock yards, and
of course his thoughts were running
along that lino when he retired, con
sequently in his sleep that night he
imagined that a large steer had gotten
loose and he was trying to capture
him. Supposing he had the steer by
ihe horns he quickly grasped his
bed fellow, (Will Thompson), by the
feet and proceeded to drag him
around the room. Now Will would
not have minded playing steer for
Barney had he treated him kindly,
but when he began to drag him lie
became a very wild steer and set up
a very unusual howl which caused
the other two gentlemen in the room
to awake in time to see Barney un
lock the door to place the infuriated
animal in his stall, (the hall), how
ever they sacceeded in awaking Bar
ney and brought the disfigured steer
back into the room. YVhile quiet
was again restored, Will positively
refused to sleep with the stock lover
anymore, iest next time he should
be taken for a mule and get a licking
with a chair.
Arthur Pridmore proved to be the
stingiest man, from the fact that he
applied for board at a prominent ho
tel, and when told that the rates for
a big man like him were $5.00 per
day, he kicked like a steer and said
he could get board at Gaffney for
$1.00, and wouldn’t pay a cent more,
though he did offer the sum of fifty
cents for his night's lodging. The
proprietor gazed at him a few min
utes in silence and then promptly
kicked “our dear Arthur” down three
flights of stairs, (at least the rest of
the boys said he did).
What Boyd Hames did or where
he went while there we are at a loss
to know. He got lost on arrival and
the next time we saw him was on the
morning we started home. He was
at that time paying a darkey a quar
ter for showing him the way to the
depot.
If you see Julian Lipscomb or Tom
Brown just ask them about “roses.”
“They will know the rest.”
We wonld be very much pleased to
tell what some of the rest of the party
got into, but haven’t room for it con
sequently we will have to postpone it
until another time.
While in Charleston the party, by
special invitation, took a pleasant
ride on the trolly cars over the entire
city, and all considered it the most
enjoyable ride they had while there.
All came away convinced that the
people of “the city by the sea” are
the most social, whole-souled, polite
and attentive people to their visitors
they had ever met, and they shall al
ways have a warm place in the hearts
of the little band of Cherokeeans to
whom they showed so much kindness,
attention and hospitality. May they
all live lung and prosper, and get their
share of Gaffney’s business, and ship
it over the O. R. <fc O. railroad. Our
obliging and accommodating agent of
this road was indefatigable in his at
tentions to the party, and didn’t al
low any one to wait for anything that
it was in his power. The O. R. <fc C.
were indeed fortunate in securing his
services, for he is the right man in
the right place. Our merchants will
be only too glad to give him all the
business they possibly can. The gang
showed their appreciation of hia kind
ness by awarding to him a very nice
present. May he flourish as a green
bay tree, ana always remain as good
looking as he now is, and may his vac
cinated arm cease to trouble him.
We are also much indebted to Col.
S. B. Lumpkins, the genial freight
and passenger agent, for his kindness
and attentions, both on the train and
in the city. He never grew tired of
attending to our wants, and never
seemed happier than when he was
doing something for us which would
tend to make our visit u pleasant one.
When another excursion is gotten up
we are satisfied no one will have to be
asked twice.
Long live Charleston, and long live
the O. R. it C. and its polite and kind
hearted officers.
