What They Say About.... Harris Lithia Water: Mr. J. T. Harris: Hear Sir—I have found the use of the water from your Lithia Spring lu South Carolina so efficacious In the case of a young lady pa tient of mine, who has suffered for years with Diabetes, with all Its different attendants, that I want to add my tcstlmonal to the many you already have. The patient I refer to has used the water freely at home for scarcely a month now, with more beneficial results than from months spent at different lithia springs in different parts of the United States, besides long continued use of the same waters at home. Other of my patients and friends are now using the same with best results. I cordially recommend It to all suff ering from similar diseases. Very respectfully yours, Thomas 8. I’owkm,, M. I). Pres. Southern Medical College, Atlanta, Ga, “The Harris Lithia Water Is, In my opinion, unexcelled for those ailments requiring the salts It contains. “Theo. Lamu, M. D.. “Professor Diseases of Chest and Principal of Medicine, Medical Department, Univer sity of Georgia.” Ashbvit,I.E, N. O., April 24, 1893.—An ex tended clinical use of the Harris Lithia Wa ter prompts me to the statement that I re gard it as one of the best, if not the best, Lithia Water known to the profession. In the condition of Phosphatlc Urine, Its action is marvelous. Its use in the Khcumatic and Gouty diseases afford me more comfort than either the Buffalo or Londonderry Waters. Very truly yours, John Hey William, M. D. Baltimohe. M. D., June24,1896. J. T. Harris, Esq., Harris Spring, S. 0: Dear Sir—I have been using Harris Lithia Water for some time, and I will say to you that it Is my opinion that the Harris Lithia Water Is by far the best Lithia Water that 1 have ever used, and th»t it has done mo a great deal of good, and 1 think it a most val uable remedy.

DEATH AGAIN VISITS GAFFNEY And Takes Away a Promising Young Man. PAUL SARRATT IS DEAD. lie Succumbs to the Ravages of Typhoid Feyer After An lllncsH of Six Weeks and Breathed Ills Last Yesterday—The Fun eral and Burial. A rising column with the shaft rudely broken; a brilliant rocket go ing out just as it started upwards; a sweet song closing just as its first notes had caught the ear and were weaving magic charms for the heart; the^darkness of midnight suddenly shrouding the fair face of a radiant morning;—these are but faint sym bols of a young, promising iife gone out in gloom. We ar* amazed, astounded, over whelmed, when we realize that Paul Sarratt is dead! The event is so out of harmony with all that we have thought, and felt, and known—with all that we expected, hoped, wished, that we almost question its reality, and wonder if it is nightmare press ing down upon our soul, or has all previous life been a pleasing dream from which wo are at this moment rudely awakened. How uncertain a thing is human life! There is but a breath of air and a beat of a heart between this world and the next. Looked at in this way it should not surprise us when we hear that some one is dead ; and yet we are surprised and can scarcely realize it when the news reaches us that one is dead whom we were wont to see every day in the full bloom of life, even though that one had been lying low for weeks and weeks. Paul had been sick just six weeks when the end came. He was very ill almost from the beginning of his illness and at several times it was ex pected that he would die; yet his bouyant spirit would carry him over tiie crisis aud hopes for his recovery would once again rise in the bosoms of the pale and anxious watchers by his bedside. So long did he linger chut many of otir people, and his friends, had come to the conclusion that he was convalescing and on a fair road to recovery. But it was not to be. His fate was writ, and though he put up a good fight, he was at last forced to succumb to a higher than earthly power and to go the way that ail things human must go. But he is not dead, for we are told that •‘There Is no death, the stars K'> down, To rise upon some fairer shore; And bright in Heaven's Jeweled crown They shine forever more.” Yet the ties that bound him to earth are severed and hearts are weighted down with agony thereat, and weeping eyes tell the tale of how he was loved and how be is missed by the dear ones at home. Paul Sarratt was horn near this place on Nov. 19>h 1881. and had he lived until the 19th of this month would have been nineteen years old. Most of his life has been spent in Gaffney, his family having moved to this place when he was quite young. He attended the city schools t>t dif ferent times, and was for some time a trusted employee of Messrs. Cat- roll & Carpenter. He was a bright, jolly, frolicking, fun-loving boy; genial and warm-hearted, and gem- rous to a fault, and was loved by his associates, as well as by all who know him. He whs a familiar figifre on our streets, and his smiling face and merry voice will be saddly missed, not only in his home, but in all the places that he was wont to frequent and mingle with others of his asso- ciatiee. The funeral services will be held in the First Baptist church at 11 o’clock this morning and the interment at 12 o’clock in Oakland cemetery. Mrs. Alice Sarratt, Paul’s mother, was very low yesterday and his death was kept from her lest the news might prove fatal to her. However, she was informed of it last night and as site had been expecting it for some time, she was in a measure prepared for the sad intelligence and received it calmly, without any visi ble show of great emotion. She is resting well this morning and hopes are entertained for her recovery. The Cold Wave. The cold wave came swooping down on schedule time, and Friday and Saturday made one think that winter had come sure enough. Friday morning the themometer stood at thirty about 7 o’clock, and Saturday morning it was down to twenty-eight degrees above zero. The ground both mornings was white with frost and the air was cold and cutting. By Sunday, though, it was con siderably warmer, though a little cloudy, and yesterday was a very pretty, sunshiny day, with the ex ception of early in the morning. It was reported by one or two that it snowed some here yesterday morn ing, but it must have been very slight, as it left no trace and only a few, it seems, were conscious of it. At Blacksburg, though, and up towards Hutherfordton, in North Carolina, enough foil to make a show —so it was reported by an early ar rival from that section. It is an ill wind that doesn’t bring good to some one. The ice man lias held full sway for a long time, but now he must take a back seat and let the C' al man come to the front. Homm* Fiuvlltmt shooting. Prater Smith and .1. R. Jones, who live down in the Goucher section of the county, did some excellent shoot ing Haiurday while out bird hunting. Out of five coveys they killed forty- three birds, Smith bringing down twenty-six and Jones seventeen. Aside from tills they killed four rab bits and had a good time in general. They took dinner at Prater’s home where a fine turkey was served up to them by Mrs. Smith, who is an excel lent cook and a delightful hostess, Prater, himself, is a jolly good fel low, and one may always expect to have a good time at bis home.

It’s her right and duty, but she might as well try to put out a fire with oil as to be healthy and at tractive with disease corroding the organs that make her a woman. Upon their health depends her health. If there is inflammation or weakening drains or suffering at the monthly period, attend to it at once. Don’t delay. You’re one step nearer the grave every day you put it off. Women can stand a great deal, but they cannot live forever with disease dragging at the most delicate and vital organs in their body.
