art#’ THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., OCTOBER 20, 1898. Suffered 20 Years.! CONGLOMERATED CHEROKEE ITEMS OF INTEREST TERSELY TOLD. The News from Town and Country Boiled Down for the Special Benef.t of Busy Led ger Readers. M RS. MARY LEWIS, wife of a promi nent farmer, and well known by all old residents near Belmont, N. Y,. writes: “For twenty-seven years I had been a constant sufferer from nervous prostra tion, and paid large sums of money for doc tors and advertised remedies without bene fit. Three years ago my condition was alarming; the least noise would startle and unnerve me. I was unable to sleep, bad a number of sinking spells and slowly grew worse. I began using Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills. At first the medicine seemed to have no effect, but after taking a few bottles I began to notice a change; I rested better at night, my appe tite began to improve and I rapidly grew better, until now I am as nearly restored to health as one of my age may expect- God blessDr.Miles’Nervine."l Dr. Miles’ Remedies are sold by all drug gists under a positive guarantee, first bottle benefits or money re funded.

The various ginneries in the city are in the hands of hustlers and they are moving things about them. Liberal railroad rates to the great State Fair in Columbia will be made by the railway lines during fair week. Mr. T. D. Littlejohn, of Asbury, who has been quite sick for some time is convalescent, we are pleased to note. Mrs. Edna Harris got one of her hands severely hurt last week by a sash falling on it at the Gaffney Graded School. Gaffney merchants have bought large stock of goods, and there is every evidence, that they are doing a large business. We learn that the city father have some important street improvements under consideration which will proba bly be made soon. We are glad to see J. Eh Jefferies, Clerk of the Court, in hisoffice again, after a two weeks confinement to his room from a malarial attack. The charter of the Gaffney Carpet i Manufacturing Co. has been amen- i ded in order to increase the capital \ stock from .ItfiO.OOO to 180,000. J. D. Goudelock has concluded to build his new brick block on Lime- i stone street, three stories high, in-i stead of two, as he first intended. To Reorganize. Chairman I. G. Sarratt, of the county board of pensioners, has re ceived instructions from the Comp troller General to have the county board for Cherokee re-organized and with that end in view he requests the chairmen of the various township boards to meet at the court house in this city next Saturday at 2 o’clock.

He sends The Ledger word that he will soon be down town to see “the boys.” By reference to our advertising columns, it will seem that the clerk of court advertises several pieces of valuable real estate for sale, on the first Monday in November. The mayor’s court Monday secured to the city twenty days work from one of her stalwart sons of Ham. This is probably the toughest job the said worker has had for years.

Already his “new scientific system of medicine” has permanently cured thousands of apparently hopeless cases. The Doctor considers it not only his professional, hut his religious duty—a duty which he owes to suffer ing humanity—to donate 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 tliousand of “heart felt testimonials of gratitude” from those benefitted and cured, in all parts of the world. j Catarrhal and pulmonary troubles lead to consumption, and consump tion, uninterrupted, means speedy and certain death.
