I frequently had fainting and smothering spells. My form was bent as a man of 80. I constantly wore an overcoat, even in summer, for fear of taking cold. I could not attend to n.y busi ness. My rest was broken by severe pains about the heart and left shoulder. Three years ago I commenced using Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure, notwithstanding I had used so much patent medicine and taken drugs from doctors for years without being helped. Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure restored me to health. It is truly a wonderful medicine and it affords me much pleasure to recommend this rem edy to everyone."

The North Carolina wagons in this week report the apple crop short in the mountains this year. Adjutant General Watts will in spect the Gafl'r oy Light Infantry on Wednesday the 14th inst. Our local attorneys were busy Saturday preparing themselves for their business in the Supreme Court. Mr. L. Baker has contractd to build a six room cottage for A. Smith in the northeastern section of the city. Rev. R. C. Campbell, colored, left the city Monday to attend the State Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. The pastor of the First Baptist church requests a full attendance of the members at the morning service Sunday. The newly elected officers of Chero kee received their certificates of election from the Secretary of State Saturday. We learn that Rev. Mr. Samples, of this city, has received a call to preach at Ahington Creek church next year. Mr. Leonard Ross lost a fine mule Friday night. He worked it Friday, it eat well at night and died before day Saturday. M. L. Ross has and lot on Granard Smith. Mr. Ross is Gaffney property. Treasurer Jones was in his office Saturday collecting taxes. While he didn’t seem to be crowded a good many settled with him. The crowd in the city was small Saturday. People not obliged to come staid at home made fires and reveled in hog killing doings. The burglars who went through Carroll it Carpenter’s and the Smith Hardware Coftipany store, lust week, got off safely with their boodle. There was a 410 pounds commer cial traveler in the city Friday. He is a South Carolinan, and, unlike most fat men. seemed to enjoy it. One farmer in Cherokee lias planted four acres of ground in wheat, and says he expects to reap 200 bushels from the four acres. We will see. Gaffney lias a dancing school now. We learn that it is well attended, and that Dick Fowler, Paul Sarratt and Kyle Davenport are learning fast. Charles O. Scruggs, lias built him self a handsome cottago out on the Mills Gap road. Charley don’t do tilings by halves when he commences. Capt. Curry is making arrange ments to erect a seven room brick cottage on Die “Boulevard” running through the Cherokee Land Co.’s property. There will be services at the Epis copal church next Sunday, at 4 o’clock p. m. Rev. Mr. Johns, of Yorkville, will preach, in the absence of Mr. Beean. The big brick blocks being built in the city were moved up considerably during the few fair days of this week. Workmen and the owners are longing for fair weather. Mrs. G. W. Byars has sold !|<l)U.8r» worth of milk and butter from one eow between the 1st of May and nth of December this year. If you can beat it, show up. Silas Lowry, a hadrworking colored man of this county, and a patron of The Ledger, was in the city Monday. Silas lias paid up his accounts this year, anti has cotton yet unsold. Howard Littlejohn, a prominent young man of Gaffney, has accepted the position of traveling agent for the Neel-Heverlo business college of Spartanburg and lias entered upon his duties. Book agents, offering to sell “a complete history of the Cuban war” are constantly offering our people a chance to buy these books. Too soon for such a book. Few histories of the Confederate war are entitled to much credence yet. A negro woman named Pauline Pratt was found dead in the woods in Goshen Hill Township, in Union county, last week with her throat cut almost from ear to ear. Her husband Tom Pratt has been arrested, and pul in jail, charged with the crime. The gold mines near West Springs in Union county, is now being profi tably work with improved machinery and are paying. With rich gold mines in almost every section of Cherokee it seems strange that none of them are worked. (July a little placer mining is being done. all night Saturday the weather partially cleared up Sunday morning with a brisk cold wind and clouds coming out from the west. The wind soon got to blizzard speed and the temperature fell to a degree which closed our people in and kept them around lires throughout the day. Bob Dimpsey. State Dispenser of the “chemically pure” at Blacks burg, has resigned his office. We learn that there is a number of ap plicants for the vacant office, and that in making a selection, our county board of control, will have to consider the claims of some from our side of the Broad. The Middle Section Sunday School Union of the Broad Biver Association has not named the place for next meeting. Its chairman, Rev. B. P. Robertson, would be glad to see an invitation in next week’s paper from the church that wishes to have the Union meet with it. The program can then be completed at once. JUDGE TOWNSEND’S DECISION IS SUSTAINED. The Long Mooted Question is Now Settled and the County May Proceed With Its Work of Improving Things. . S. S. Cures Sores and Ulcers It Matters Not How Ob stinate, or What Other Remedies Have Failed. Su- After raining night We regret to learn that Mr. Robt. E. Wilkins at Gowpens, gin-house was burned on Tuesday night of last week. It was operated by Messrs. F. M. it S. D. Moore. We have not learned the cause of the lire nor the probable loss. But among thelosers is Mr, Joe Smith, who had something over three bales of cotton burned. Rev. T. M. Dent, and Rev. S. T. Creech, who have so accept ibly served llieir charges in this city and county the past year, left Monday for Green ville to attend the annual session of the South Carolina Conference. These gentlemen have made many friends during their stay among us, and wc sincerely hope that hey will be sent back to us again. Saturday was cold and rainy, stopping all kinds of out door work. Some cotton is still in the fields and is being gathered slowly on account of the bad weather—wheat and oat sowing have had to be suspended. But Cherokeeans are working and will not be overcome by small obstacles, but will take advantage of circumstances and “git that.” The first inhabitant of Camp Waetherill to wed here is James W. Osborne, of Company E, 2UHd New York. He was yesterday married to Miss Nellie Henderson, liailing from Scranton, Pennsylvania. The cere mony was impressively performed by Lawywer W. H.

A large number of friends were present, who, after the marriage, were invited into the dining hall where a sumptious dinner was served, after which Mr. Whelchel took his bride to his country home. We congratulate both the groom and the bride, and wish for them a happy life. [Special Dispatch to The Lcslfrcr.! CoLi MiiiA S.

They are caused in different ways, but in every case the blood is involved, and no amount of local treat ment can have any effect. The poison must be eliminated from the blood before a cure can be had. THROWN FROM A HORSE. Mr. H. Kuhn, of Marion, Kansas, writes: “About three years aco my granddaughter,Ber tha VVhitwood, was thrown from a horse, re ceiving a wound of the scalp. Though under the treatment of physicians forseveral months, the wound remained about the same, until it finally became very angry-looking, and broke out into a running sore. This soon spread to other parts of the scalp and ran down the side of the neck.increas d m ii ing in severity.and fear- full; - * ly disfiguring her. She was then placed un der the care of the fac ulty of a well-known [hospital, but even the i treatment she received there failed to arrest the 'terrible sore. Reading of the many cures of blood troubles effected by S. S. S., we decided to try it. and it relieved her promptiy. In a few months she was entirely cured, and scarcely a mark now remains where the disease held full sway.’’ A GUNSHOT WOUND. Capt. J. H. McBrayer, the well-known dis tiller, of Lawrenceburg, Ky., says: M “Some years ago I was shot in the left leg’ receiving what 1 considered only a slight wound. It developed into a running sore and gave me a great deal of pain and inconven ience. I was treated by many doctors and took a number of blood remedies, but none did me any good and did not seem to check the progress of the sore. I had heard Swift's Spe cific (S. S. S.) highly recommended for the , blood, and concluded to ; give it a trial, and the * ' v - result was very gratify ing. S. S. S. seemed to get right at the trouble, i and forced the poison out of my blood; soon afterwards the sore healed up and was cured sound and well. I am sure S. S. 8. is by far the best blood remedy made.” It matters not how they are acquired or what treatment has failed, 8. S. S. will cure the most obstinate, deep- seated sore or ulcer. It is useless to expect local treatment of salves, lo tions, etc., to effect a cure, because they can not reach the real cause of the trouble, which is the blood. 8. S. S. drives out every trace of impurity in the blood, and in this way cures per manently the worst cases. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed Purely Vegetable and contains not a particle of potash, mercury, or other mineral. S. S. S. cures Contagious Blood Poison. Scrof ula, Cancer, Catarrh, Eczema, Rheu matism, Sores, Ulcers. Boils, or any other blood trouble.
