testimony of those who have been cured by it
and know of its virtues by experience.
Mr- U J. Clark, of Orange Courthouse,Va., writes:
“ For sir years I had an obstinate, running: ulcer on my
ankle, which at times caused mo intense suffering. I was
ro disabled for a long while that I was wholly unlit for
business. One of tho best doctors treated me constantly
but did mo no good. I then tried various blood remedies,
without the least benefit. S. S. S. was so highly recom
mended that I concluded to try it. and the effect was
wonderful. It seemed to get right at the seat of the
disease and force the poison out, and I was soon com
pletely cured.” Swift’s Specific—

eher Church in a childrens dey moot
ing. The program for the rervices
had been well arranged and the man-
tier in which every part of it was per-
formed showed tho thourongh train
ing of the children and their deep in
terest in Sunday School work, and
how largely they, their section and
Cherokee County are indebted to
Mr. T. G. Chalk. Miss Ada Brown,
Miss Suliie Chalk, and Miss Pauline
Pettit for their untiring and intele-
gent work in trying to advance the
moral and spiritual interest of those

their past work and encouragement
to them for the future.
This childrens day brought together
one of the largest congregations over
assembled at Goucher, when large
congregations are not uncommon,
and one of the finest dinners over
served, when fine dinners are always
