H-9-tf C. E, KOBEUTbU.N. The audience that attended the performance of “Town Topica” last Friday evening waa the largest and mose fashionable that has ever gath ered in the opera house at this place. The play was a disappointment to a large portion of the audience, and many who witnessed “A Trip to Tramptown” say that the latter per formance was the best of the two. The truth of the matter is that the two shows an altogether along dif ferent lines, one being a melo-drama and the other a farce comedy, and the people of Gailney seem to like melodrama better than they do farce comedy. There is no question but that the actors and actresses with the last show are a notch above the one that preceded it in point of ability along their respective lines. It would be impossible for Mr. Reiss’ company to play “Town Topics” with success just as it would be im possible for the “Town Topics” com pany to play “A Trip to Tramptown” with success. Their abilities lie in different directions. Another thing that transpired to dampen the ardor of the audience was the high kicking of the females in the com pany. Gaffney is too modest to ap prove of undue exhibitions of the lower extremities of the feminine gender even on the stage and we doubt not that the play would have taken better bad the young ladies been a trifle more modest. Another draw back was the fact, that a higher price was charged for this show than on previous occasions, therefore the people were expecting more than they otherwise would. These things combined were a disadvantage to the show, but in point of ability the ac tion was everything we expected it to be. Hereafter The Ledger will endeavor to inform the people exactly what to expect. We told the public before the show came that it was a farce comedy but it seems that they did not understand the nature of the performance or either expected too much. Hereafter we shall endeavor to explain the nature of the show and at the same time keep them from expecting too much. The Ledger has no desire to mislead the people in regard to anything, and we regret that all were not fully satis fied. The connection of the manager of The Ledger with the manogement of the opera house could not induce us to purposely mislead the people. No one connected with the opera house has any desire to mislead the people. They could not afford to do it if they wanted to, as the profits, if any, will not he enough to induce them to mislead if they were so in clined. The purpose of the gentle men who have the opera house in charge is to secure the best attrac tions possible at the lowest figures so as to furnish innocent amusement for the public, and all who go to the theatre need not expect every show to meet their expectations. FIRE NEArTcOWPENS. Wiu. Henderson Has Ills House and Con« tents Destroyed. Last Wednesday night about 12 o’clock, Wm. Henderson, who lives near Cowpens, in this county, had bis dwelling house and all its con tents, cotton seed out of three bales of cotton and a bale of seed cotton all destroyed by fire. The family were asleep at the time, and the fire had gained such headway before they were aroused by some neighbors, that it was impossible to save anything. The occupants of the house narrowly escaped with their lives, and some of the children were taken out just as one of the wails be? gan to cave in and the whole building was wrapped in flames. The kitchen, which was close to the dwelling, but separated from it, was also burned, with everything in it, and the family were left entirely destitute. No idea Is entertained as to the origin of the fire and no suspicion exists that it was the work of an incendiary. The Joss was a great blow to Mr. Henderson, as he was a poor man and had worked hard to provide a little home for his family and to have some of the comforts of life. He is receiving aid from his neigh? bors and from some of the generous hearted people in this part of the county who sympathize with him in his misfortune. The Router for Special Term.

To remove a troublesome corn and bunion ; First soak the corn or bun ion in warm water to soften it, then pare it down as closely as possible without drawing blood and apply Chamberlain’s Pain Balm twice daily; rubbing vigorously for five minutes at each application. A corn plaster should he worn for a few days to protect it from the shoe. Aa a f uneral liniment for sprains, bruises, ameness and rheumatism, Pain Balm is uuequaled.

No matter how often a cancerous sore is removed, another comes at or near the same ]>oiiit. mid always in a worse form. Does not this prove conclusively that Cancer is a blood disease, and that it is folly to attempt to cure this deep-seated, dangerous blood trouble by cutting or burning out the sore, which, after all, »s only an outward sign of the disease a place of exit for the poison ? Cancer runs in families through many generations, and those whose ancestors have been afflicted with it are liable at any time to be stricken with the deadly malady. Only Blood Diseases can be Transmitted from One Generation to Another -remove every trace of the poison. Nothing cures —further proof that Cancer is a disease of the blood. To cure a blood disease like this you must cure the entire blood system- Cancer effectually and permanently but S. S. S. S. S. S. enters the circulation, searches out and removes all taint, and stops the formation of cancerous cells. No mere topic or ordinary blood medicine can do this. S. S. S. goes down to the very roots of the disease, and forces out the deadly poison, allowing the sore to heal naturally and permanently. S. S. S. at the same time purifies the blood and builds up the general health. A little pimple, a harmless looking wart or mole, a lump in the breast, a cut or bruise that refuses to heal under ordinary treatment, should all be looked upon with suspicion, as this is often the beginning of a bad form of cancer. Mrs. Sarah M. KeesHna, 941 Windaor Ave., Bristol, Tenn., writes: “I am 41 years old, and for three years had suffered with a severe form of Cancer on my jaw, which the doctors in this city said was incurable, and that I could not live more than six months. I accepted their statement as true, and had given up all hope of ever being well again, when my drug- E 'st, knowing of my condition, recommended S. S. S. After taking a few Ktles the sore began to heal, much to the surprise of the physicians, and in a short time made a complete cure.
