Artillery and for thirty years of the Babcock & Munscl Carriage Co., of Aubnrn, says: “I writo to express my gratitude for the mirac- lous benefit received from Dr. Miles’ Ileart Cure. I suffered for years, as result of army life, frori sciatica which affected my heart in the worst form, my Mmbs swelled from tho ankles up. I bloated until I was unable to button my clothing; had sharp pains about the heart, smothering spells and shortness of breath. For three months I was unable to lie down, and all the sleep I got was in an arm chair. 1 was treated by the best doctors but gradually grew worse. About a year ago I commenced taking Dr. M lies’ New Heart Cure and It saved my lift as if by a miracle."

The en gineer submitted three propositions to the council. The matter now rests with the Board of Public Works, recent’y elected. We are told that the Board of Public Works has never had a meeting since its election. Now we submit that this tardiness is not compatible with the usual public spirit d.splayed by the citizens of Gaffney. Will not the Board uf Public Works get together and do something? Tis a waste of time to wait longer. The city coun cil are ready to go ahead with water works if the Board of Public Works will got together, and we sincerely hope they will make a move at once and adopt one of the plans sub mitted. - Mr. Bridges Pounded.

A. Slocum. M. G., of New York City. He has discovered a reliable and absolute cure for consumption, and all bronchial, throat, lung and chest diseases, catarrhal affections, general decline aud weakness, loss of flesh and all conditions of wasting away; and to make its great merits known, will send three free bottles of his newly discovered remedies to any af flicted reader of the Ledger. Already his “new scientific system of medicine” has permanently cured thousands of apparently hopeless oases. The Doctor considers it not only his professional, but his religious duty—a duty which he owes to suffer ing humanity—todonate his infallible cure. He has proved the “dreaded con sumption” to be a curable disease be yond a doubt, in any climate, and has on file in his American and Euro pean laboratories thousand of “heart felt testimonials of gratitude” from those benefitted and cured, in all parts of the world. Catarrhal and pulmonary troubles lead to consumption, and consump tion, uninterrupted, means speedy and certain death. Don’t delay until it is to late. Simply write T. A. Slocum. M.

The Great Offer of The Boston Bargain HOBSON’S CHOICE.” Hobson was a crusty old grocer years ago, who in his old age, didn’t much care whether ins eustoiuer.s were pleased or not. If lie didn’t happen to have in stock what a customer called for, ho would hand out something else, saving : ‘ ‘Take this or nothing.” There wasn’t any other grocer in his town then,' so the people had to take “Hobson’s Choice” or do without and that is how the expression originated. It’s different with me. I haven't a single dissatisfied customer. 1 serve everybody whether buying little or much with equal courtesy— and my line of groceries be ing comph te in every respect, i do a good business.
