A jeweler must use a definite proportion of fine gold to make an IS-kt ring. A certain quantity of carbon must be united with iron to make steel, and chemicals must conform to given standards of purity if they should have the desired therapeutic power. To insure against those ‘•little" differences, those de flections from correct standards, you should use drugs from the Cherokee Drug Co. It is because of uniform superiority; because “our chemicals” arc synonymous with purity and reliability. Will fill your Prescription Right » or Will Not Kill it Respectfully, At All.

Phillips, tiutl hi her homo in this city on PutuHay, llcoomber 2!Uh, in Hip fifty-eighth year of her li^o. Mrs. i*iiiilipH had only boon ill about t'n (iaye of paralysis of the throat. Mrs. Phillips was a moinber of Corinth baptist church, in good standing, for thirty-five years and lived up to her faith so closely ihat she was iu the full enjoyment of its comforts when tho end came. She was a lady of fine sense and more than ordinary information; was de voted to her husband and children and was to them all Iliat tiie words wife and mother imply. She was a kind neighbor and always had a prominent place in all tho good works of her neighborhood and church and will not only be missed by her devoted husband and children but by all of her acquaintance who appreciate a wifely wife, a motherly mother, a neigt borly nedghbor and a womanly woman of high and sterling character. The remains of Mrs. Phillips were interred at Corinth church on Dec doth., in the presence of a large gathering of sorrowing relatives and friends. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. M. F. Samples, who preached an appropriate sermon from second Timothy, fourth chap ter and Roventh verse. Her husband and three sons, J. 0.. I. (i. and S. S. Phillips and an only daughter, Mrs. VVm. Painter, survive her. Death of Mrs. Mcsscnlah Itrhlgt'H. Thursday morning about three o’clock Mrs. Messeniah Bridges died at the home of her son, Mr. Charles Bridges, in this city, at the advanced age of eighty-seven. She hud been in very good health up to three or four weeks ago, when she became ill with something like grip and gradu ally grew worse until the end came Thursday morning. Mrs. Bridges was lire daughter of Thomas Colo, who was one of tho first settlers of upper South Carolina. She was a faithful member of Limestone Bap tist church, and had been connected with that church for fifty years, dur ing which time sire never moved in her faith in tho Giver of all good; and she died as she had lived, quietly and peacefully and in full hope of eternal joy and happiness beyond the river of time. She was a good woman, and never left undone anything that she could do towards lightening the burdens of those by whom she was surrounded. Funeral services were held at the residence by Rev. Air. Ford, of the Baptist church, and the remains were placed in Oakland cemetery by the side of her father and mother who had preceded her many years before. Mrs. Bridges was a good woman, as all who knew her can testify, and she will be missed by her neighbors and h/. r surviving children, of whom there ire four. ••Tito Strange Adventure* of Mis* Brown. H The small audience that attended the performance of “The Strange Ad ventures of Miss Brown” at the opera house Saturday night were well pleased with the performance, if ap plause is to be taken as an indication of approval. The first act is rather tame but Interest increases in the second and third. Mr. Sam Hunt as Corydon Foxglove, the lawyer, was the not the star of the cast,but the star actor of.the company. He did con scientious work while the others seemed to have that tired feeling. The company is a good one and the cast is evenly balanced but the small audience seemed to give the entire aggregation a chill. The slim at tendance was due entirely to the misrepresentation of the advance man. He misrepresented matters to Mr. Ross and the misrepresentation was discovered and this placed the local management in a position where they could not give the show the proper recommendation. How long will it take show people to learn that truthfulness will servo them better than falsehood? It seems that every advance agent of a show is a born liar and that it is impossible for them to tell the truth. Thu Shrlr.'ur* lu Charlotte. Friday night the Shriners met in Charlotte, and those who are into the mysteries of the order aver that they had a “cracker-jack” time. Some of the candidates were so delighted with their treatment that they stayed up all night and others were so well pleased that.they got up at five o’clock in the morning after having gone to bed between two and three. George Cotton was so well pleased that he forgot there was a show In Gaffney Saturday night. Gaffney presented three candidates, viz: Alderman George Cotton, 1’rof. Wade R. Brown and “Billy” Allen. Messrs. Brown and Allen seemed to stand the racket all right, but we cannot say so much for George. Messrs. R. M. Gaffney, “Billy” Lees and \V. H. Ross also attended the meeting from this place. All three of them ure old stagers and appeared as fresh as full blown roses after a spring shower Saturday morning. Tho knowing ones assert that the Shrine is a “warm baby,” but you should have “seen George.” Tho l.a*t Hay. Yesterday was the lajtday for pay ing county taxes and all those who failed to contribute their pro rata share towards swelling tho county treasury must suffer the conse- quences of their tardiness.

Week before last, according to t he Charleston I’ost, he issued an edict that all nogro men supporting negro women must show marriage certificates, issued either by a li censed minister or a magistrate. Msgistrato Strohecker gave the negroes to understand that tho prac tice of one negro man living with three or four negro women would not ho tolorated in his district, and all persons caught violating his edict would he sent to the chain gang. When the edict became known there was a great flocking of colored people to Judge Stroh cker’s office to be married. Last week he married mom than seventy-five couples. He says he is going to keep up tho good work until ho makes the colored people in his district live together decently.” If a Woman wants to put out a fire she doesn’t heap on oil and wood. She throws on water,knowing that waterquenches fire. When a woman wants to get well from diseases peculiar to her sex, she should not add fuel to the fire already burning her life away. She should not take worthless drugs and potions composed of harmful narcot ics and opiates. They do not check the disease—they do not cure it—they simply add fuel to the fire. Bradfield’s Female Regulator should be taken by every woman or girl who has the slightest suspicion of any of the ail ments which af flict women. They will simply be wasting time until they take it. The Regulator is a purifying, strengt h e n i n g . tonic, which gets [at the roots of the disease and cures tlie cause. It does not drug the pain, it eradicates it It stops fallingof the womb, leucorrhea, inflammation and periodical suffering, ir regular, scanty or painful menstruation; and by doing X all this drives away the X hundred and one aches and X pains which drain health X and beauty, happiness and good temper from many a X woman's life. It is the one X remedy above all others X which every woman should X know about and use. ^ SI.OO per bottle 4) at any drug store. 4) Send for our free H illustrated book.
