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 Ycmedies 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 Ito police 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 bless Dr. Miles'Nervine." Dr. Miles' Remedies are sold by all drug gists under a positive guarantee, first bottle fL rlCrVIITC benefits or money re funded.

The sick people we hear about, are generally improving. Hunters are puiting in good time, and report the crop of birds good. * The Mayor’s court has had business all along this week in a small way. The wood haulers were rushed Monday. Small loads brought big prices. The Sheriff and Clerk both adver tise valuable lands for sale the first Monday in December. We are requested to state that there will not be any services in the Presbyterian church Sunday. The first drove of hogs of the season arrived in the city Tuesday. We learn the price asked is 4$ cents per pound. The city police seized two jugs, partly filled with whiskey, this week, but we learn have not found any one to claim them. The Gaffney Machine Shop are now complete and work has began. The force is being increased as de mands for work require. “J. L. S” is too knowin’ for He downed us this week. We accept him as authority thing except shallots. The city police have donned their new uniforms. Chief Camp, in his, would appear creditably as a division commander of volunteers. The clerks of the Federal and State boards of elections for Cherkee county have the money on hand to pay the managers of the last election. What The Ledger said about the city electric lights last week had no reference to the current supply but to the lamps and the management of them. Friday morning was clear and cold, the soil had dried up considerably and the Cherokee plowmen again got a move on themselves plowing in wheat. The pastor of the First Baptist church will fill his pulpit Snnday and requests all the members to be present as there will bo matters of importance to attend to. There are some signs of monazite diggers going to work again near Gaffney. There is plenty of it in Cherokee, and we trust there will soon he a demand for it. Deputy l'. S. Marshal Floyd moves around this county considerably these days, and the results of his wanderings are often seen about U. S. Commissioner Bell’s office. Saturday was really our first winter day. It was clear and cold, and by night the wind was coming out from the west almost at a blizzard rate, causing the first freeze of the season. The snow, sleet, and rain of the first part of the week, give every thing a rather slow look for this section. But yesterday the sun rose bright and fine and put all Cherokee on the move. Bridges it Beason, determined not to be wanting in the general pro gressive spirit which prevades Gaff ney, have built u brick pavement in front of their handsome store on Limestone street. Magistrate Surratt made many necessary arrangements Tuesday to trv a white woman for selling seed cotton, after sundown. But when everything else was ready the woman wasn’t there. Monday morning was cold and cloudy. Hog killing was going on all over the city. By 11 o’clock the clouds hud thickened and hail and snow commenced fulling. It soon however turned into rain but the hog killing went ou. Supervisor Lipsomh is doing away with bridges over the small drains across the public highways, and is using in their stead terra cotta piping. This is well. The work is of a permanent nature as all such work should be. James Littlejohn, of Webster, has built a handsome and commodious dwelling house on his farm three miles out on the Fnlon road. We learn he will move into it soon. We ere glad to have Mr. Littlejohn get ting closer to us. The First Baptist church of this city has extended an invitation to the Stale Baptist Convention to hold its next session in Gaffney. We learn | that the Second Baptist church and ' the other denominations have joined in the invitation. The Ledger regrets that in the list of deserters from the Second South Carolina Volunteer Infantry, for I whom rewards have been offered, one i name appears from Cherokee. This is too bad. Go hack to your com mand, young man, and perform the duty for which you voluntered. - - • i I'oiiNtlpiition leutln I i llxer' tw-lllilc, anil livi-r In llrlfflit's tllNi-uxe, I'Iiickly Ash IIittehsIs u eertulii cure at my utiure • if tlm ffisorder.
