THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., NOVEMBER 3, 1898. A Shattered Nervous System. FINALLY HEART TROUBLE. Restored to Health by Dr. Miles’ Nervine. M R. EDWARD HARDY, the Jolly man ager of Sheppard Co’s, great store at Bracevllle. 111., writes: *‘I had never been sick a day In my life until in 1890. I got so bad with nervous prostration that I had to givo up and commence to doctor. I tried our local physicians and one in Joliet, but none gave me any relief and I thought I was going to die. I became despondent and suffered untold agony. I could not cat, sleep nor rest, and it seemed as if I could not exist. At the end of six months I was reduced to but a shadow of myself, and at last my heart became affected and I was truly miserable. I took six or eight bottles of Dr. Miles' Nervine. It gave me relief from the start, and at last a cure, the great est blessing of my life." j Dr. Miles' Remedies are sold by all drug gists under a positive guarantee, first bottle benefits or money re funded.

Tuesday mo-ning furnished the biggest frost of the season. We told you to come *0 see The Ledgek, when in the city. It looks like we may have some new churches before a great while. Sunday was a fine autum day and places of worships|were largely atten ded. W. H. Smith is making some im provements on his residence, corner of Race and Johnson streets. Patillo H. McGowan, has been ap pointed magistrate in Spartanburg, vice U. X. Gunter resigned. Gur friends across the fine over in the old North State are hopeful and say “the white folks are rising.” Lumber is being delivered in the city, apparently every day. But still the cry of our builders is for ma terial. T. Davenport wifi not stay behind. He lias laid a brick side walk in front of his brick store on Limestone street. Our genial young friend, Geo. E. Brown, of Ravenna, is now employed by Hill it Morgan, of Spartanbuig, us salesman. Tuesday, the first instant, found hunters with there guns and dogs in shape and in these line autumn days line sport will begin. W e are glad to see that a large number of the children of the county have come in and are taking advan tage of GalTney’s splendid graded schools. An enterprising ‘man can do well hero with a marble yard. And if he lias vim enough, he can get his marble from a quary in the corporate limits of the city. Japt. R. O. Sams, who was spend ing the night in Spartanburg, lost his line family horse and buggy in the big livery stable lire there last Thursday morning. Gadberry Wright left with us some days ago several specimens of gold bearing ore. 31 r. Wright is from Smith’s Ford ; where almost every stone contains gold. Select specimens of your choicest fruits, vegetables and grains for ex- ' hibition at the State Fair; a little forethought will secure one or more of the handsome premiums. Dr. R. W. Sanders, of Greenville, will preacii at Limestone Baptist Church next Sunday at 11 a. m. The ! public generally are invited. Mem- ! berswill please be present. Farmers! Take or send the fruits of your laborers to the State Agri cultural and Mechanical Society’s Fair, and you need not exclaim, as many are heard to do every year, “I can beat that.” One of our brightest business men and a local politician of note was tuuglit a lesson in “Heads I win and tails you loose” by Mayor Littlejohn one day this week. It cost “Doc” two cigars to learn the game. Farmers have been bringir * .in their cotton rapidly this week, and selling it. Few are holding for bet ter prices. They seem amused but disgusted with this cotton business and are apparently not anxious for much of it next year. Saturday brought the crowd in j again. Every quarter of the county was well represented. Cheap cotton was plentiful on the streets and was sold rapidly. Merchants all seemed busy. All faces bore airs of cheerful ness and hope for the future. A certain young attache of one of the banks of this city lias a penchant for sampling sorghaiu. The deception practiced on him by a fun-loving clerk one day this week was rather rough, but then if things are oiled up pretty well they generally run smooth. There are many excellent butter- tnukers in South Carolina; their ex cessive modesty kept all except two or three from exhibiting their Dairy produce at the last State Fair; a lit tle competition would really make the judges work more interesting in awarding the prizes. Gur young friends Fred Foster and Cles Hopper, of Co. E. 1st. S. <:. V.. arrived in the city from Columbia, Tuesday. They will return on the !*th. im t and be mustered out. The mustering out process is tedious, and is attended with much incon venience and expense to the soldiers. A visit to the Mayor’s cn’irt Mon day morning present, to the ut all rcllec'.ive person, a sad spectacle. I’oung men, who would .scorti'critiri, were being trhd for drunkenness, were being convicted and punished. 1 heir hard earned dollar t paid f >r tl.iir waywardness. May they Li man prudent in the future. A N en-rtlun will Lo hold 'I'nos lay.

McDonald has resigned as night superintendent of the Atherton Cotton .Mills, Charlotte, and his place is now filled by A. 1^. Kale, of Mt. Holly, X. C.. where he had been attending school. 3Ir.

Robertson will continue his two series of sermons next Sun day, one on “Love” and the other on “Jesus our exump’e.” In the morn ing ids subject will be, “The analysis of love manifests, its pre-eminence” and the evening, “Jesus, our example as a church member.” A cordial j invitation is extended to all. Tradesmen who get goods in their j stock which costs more than they ; can sell them for, seldom get a sec ond supply. Farmers now have cot- , ton which costs them mere than they can sell it for.

Senator Tillman is doing yeoman j service for Democracy. He is a po litical doctor who is not afraid to use , the lancet. He is applying it in ; North Carolina, whose festering sores j are largely the result of failure in the past to use that instrument. —— *— Discovered by a Woman. Another great discovery has been ! made, and that too, by a lady in this country. “Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, Imt her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months site coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She finally dis covered a way to recovery, by pur chasing of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumplion, and was so much relieved on taking first dose, that she slept all night; and with two bottles has been abso lutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Lather Lutz. Thus writes W. C. Hamrick it Go., of Shelby, N. 0. Trial bottles free at Dul‘r«- Drug Go, Regular size 50c and .fl.OO. Every Union Utterances. (Correspondence of The Ledger ) Union, 8. 0., Oct. 29.—The people are active about Union. Cotton at tracts the attention of all alike. Nearly all of the crop is open and the greater portion is gathered and I be lieve sold. On Saturday the popu lace come to town and get the most possible out of each dollar spent. Calculations tyre made on the basis of 5 cetrts cotton and as a consequence, no one is disappointed as the expec tation is fulfilled. . We were in Cherokee county re cently, near Grindall, on 3Ir. \V. A. 3Ic\Vhirter s place. For crops 3Ir. W. N. Norris and S. Simes will make about 40 bales of cotton, each culti vating a one horse farm. They also will gather an ample supply of corn and peas and give attention to vegeta bles. This surely beats the record on one horse farms. If not, it shows what may be produced in that por tion of Cherokee. 3Ir. 3Ic\Vhirter is a trustee of schools and an up-to-date farmer. The closing days of October makes us think of the eool weather which usually comes in November. Though all expect a few fine days before the winter season really begins. The time is at hand for the farmer to sow grain, preparatory to reduce his cotton crop next spring. Those who give proper attention just at this juncture, will be making hay while the sun shines. Ledger Reader. _ ► The Go«l of Love. Almost as ancieut ns the earth her self was Eros, the personification of love. Hesiod relates that he was among the first of existing things, and that he assisted earth iu bringing forth from chaos the earliest forms of fife aud beauty. Aristophanes and others wrote of Eros as tho son of night. Later poets sang of him as the son of Ares and Aphrodite aud honored him as the sweet minded promoter of human affections. They represented him as a fair faced boy, winged and carrying a bow with which to inflict sweet wounds upon those who came within range. Nor has Eros ceased to exist even in this prac tical age, for to this day tho poets sing of this little winged god, as skillful and as pitiless as in tho days of old. The philosophic myth of Eros aud Psyche is one of the most beautiful of the ancient allegories. Ici-c2«l:ir liow* '. n -.v. incut* Icud to •Iir<inii- . (•onMi|>;it1on.
