Headache kills, not necessarily suddenly, but SURELY. It preys upon the intellectual powers more than we realize. It consumes the vitality faster than nature can replenish it, and we cannot tell just what moment a temporary or complete aberration of the mind wdll result. Headache and pain should be promptly re- mtaved — but properly. Many pain cures are more harmful than the pain. Beware. If you would be safe, take Miles' Pain Pills. “As a result of neuralgia I lost the sight of my right eye, and the pain I have suffered is incomprehensible, be ing obliged to take opiates almost con tinually. A friend gave me one of Dr. Miles’ Pain Pills and it promptly re lieved me. I then purchased a box and now my trouble is gone. They have also cured my daughter of nervous headache, and I heartily recommend them to others.”—VV. J. CORLKY. Bre- mond, Texas. Sold by Druggists. 25 Doses, 25c. Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind.

Blacksuuku, Jan. 11, 1902 —Christ mas has come and gone and its many joys are now but sweet memories of the past. Also, many homes were made sad that are not yet comforted. Some loved one has crossed the dark abyss of death in a dishonorable way. He says, ”1 must feel good once a year,” and against the pleading of a good mother, wife or sister he goes to his fate—killed in a drunken row. Christmas shjuld be kept sacred, yet it is regarded by many as a time for drunkenness and debauchery. Boys v. ry often pick on the Christmas holidays as a suitable time for the performance of ali sorts of mischiev ous tricks, which very often _ termin ate in u very undesirable end. There was an act of meanness, on the part of some one, at Grover Baptist church last Christmas eve night, while services were being carried on The reins of twelve or fitteen horses were cut; however, the victims suf fered very little inconvenience, as they caught their horses very easily. They were thankful that it did not turn out as it might have done, for all those horses, running, would have been simply unmanageable. The people, especially the children, would have been in danger of their lives. The party or parties guilty of such a deed should be placed within a pris on wall, or made to work for their bread and peas. With the exception of the above incident the occasion was a success in every respect. The Christmas tree was loaded with things both useful and ornamental. Rev. G P. Hamrick was present and delivered a splendid address. Prof. Chambers, with the assistance of several little girls, sang a Santa Claus piece which was one of the best tilings of the occasion. So even those who received no gifts were benefitted, if they paid close attention to what was said and done. Human beings have ditlerent incli nations and are furnished with power accordingly. If it were not so the world would not afford such oppor tunities for advancement. A good farmer might maae a complete fail ure as a carpenter, a lawyer might not have met with success as a doc tor, and even 11 splendid author, very often, maaes a poor out in a common conversation. An incident that will serve as an illustration came under my observation while in the city of Birmingham, Alabama We were seated in our coach, awaiting the ar rival of another train before ours could take its leave. It whs in the early morning and the porter kept passing to and fro, shouting out what he had prepared for breakfast. So perfect was his voice that many darkies would have envied him as a natural born orator. At last a gen tleman looked up from his paper and asked the porter a question, and the porter answered him, whereupon the gentleman said, “Is that authentic?” The porter looked amaz-’d and said, “Sah?” The gentleman repeated his question and the porter opened his eyes and mouth, too. vtry wide. Fin ally he mutten-d, “Danno boss, you'll haf to ter tain. English.” The gen tleman grunted, the other passengers laughed and the porter went about his business Ben Hoover STEVY STATEMENTS. hih! Koclitl IMiinera Mu-Order of the Day. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Stew Jan. 1.—Social and royal dinners have been very frequent in this section. Also several marriages have been solmen- izod among our young people up here. However, I believe you have previ- ously had a notice of them in your excellent paper, but if we are not badly mistaken, more will take place soon. Several business men from Cow- pens have been in this community hunting with neighboring friends during the holidays. They report collections short, but say the busi ness men of Cowpens have all decided to carry over all their customers who have evinced any desire to do right with them. This is a praise worthy spirit, and we hope it will character ize all business men everywhere these distressing times. There was a very social event to which all our young people were in vited at our esteemed friend’s, W. D. Byars’ home on Friday evening last, at which Miss Daisy Willis, who teaches the Macedonia school, was queen. Miss Daisy is boarding at Air. Byars’, and is a very popular young lady, as well as an efficient in structor in public school ; in fact we may say here with reference to all young ladies who are teaching up here, that they are (so far as we have been able to learn) doing very well, and are making friends in every part of our community. The most unpleasant thing we have to report, is the many small attend ances that are reported from almost everywhere this year in our schools. Surely our people will not let this te the case much longer. In conversation with our county superintendent on this sulject the other day he expressed great anxiety to us on it, and was meditating, he said, upon some plan if possible to arouse the people to a sense of the importance of sending their children to school. As previously reported to you, changes continue to take place in our community. Since 1 wrote you las'. Mr. Joe B. Bridges, who has been tenant farmer witn Mr. R. E. Surratt for about five or more years, has bought a farm net far above Thickety station and has moved on it» Mr. Silas Litthjohn has moved into the house vacated by Mr. Bridges. We congratulate Mr. Sarratt and Mr. Littlejohn both on their change, for knowing each of them as we do we believe each will be remunerative to the other. Our Mr. James Moore has bought a lot at Cowpens and will, we under stand, soon make that place b s home. We wish him prosperity there, although we lose in him a splendid neighbor and useful citizer. In conclusion our best wishes at tend you ail through the entire year. l n D. A HOLIDAY EVENT. Fancy ManquernUe Da 1 Decently (liven at Commercial Hotel. One of the most thoroughly enjoy able and delightfully unique events that have taken place among Gaff ney’s society element during the hol- id’tys, wus the tancy masquerade ball at the Commercial Hotel given by the biisses Hopper in boner of their visiting friends. Misses Blackwood, of Spartanburg, and Gaston, of Blaekoburg. Q rite a large number of ladies and gentlemen were present and the mas queraders w> re merrily entertained until a late hour. A string bund fur nished sweet music for the occasion, and j .st as it began the march the couples fi ed in from the halls while the fancy and variegated costumes and masked faces of the masqueraders formed a comical, yet delightfully pleasing, spectacle. At 11 :30 mustfs were removed and refreshments served. After refresh ments the german commenced, and “ail went merry as a marriage bell.” Those present were: Misses Fort, A lie Ross.
