y ' Some People Can’t Eat' Bread. M 'f. ii • Bread is reputed to be the staff of life.” Yet there are some people who never eat bread. We allude to this because of a curious parallel fact in medi cine. We recommend Vinol and sell it on a guarantee of money back if it does not bene fit the user. We don’t expect Vinol to help everybody. Yet, strange to say, out of every one hundred bottles sold, less than two per cent, proved unsatis factory. In other words, ninety- eight out of every hundred found Vinol of value—many of them great value. We want to say that if you are run-down, weak, too thin, ailing, with bad stomach, poor appetite, cough, nervousness, that we think Vinol will help you. CHEROKEE DRUG CO DKl'UtilSTS.

The one hundred and fifty people who greeted Mrs. LeMoyne and com pany in “Among Those Present'' at the Star Theatre Saturday evening received the worth of their money if one considers it possible to receive the worth of their money by witness ing good acting. The work of the players was simply great. Mrs. Le Moyne acted the part of Mrs. Clinton as if she was created for the part rather than the part created for her. Mr. Harold Russell as Dr. Clinton, a retired physician, was equal to Mrs. LeMoyne. Miss Anita Zorn, as Mrs. Parker, the widow, sustained the part in a most acceptable manner al though that was her first appearance in the part. Miss Cornelia Hunter, as Alice Kane, a professional brides maid, was clever, as was also Mr. George Douglas Parker, as Tommy Dodd, a court clown, William Hazel- tine, as Howard Pembroke, a Wall Street broker, William Clagett, as Reggie Keene, Miss Carlotta Nillson, as Countess Lavendan-Lautrec, Miss Martia Leonard, as Mrs. Van Cor- lears, Mr. George Gaston, as Mr. Van Corlears. The remainder of the cast was well balanced. Altogether the performance was one of the best given in Gaffney and deserved a much better patronage than it received. • Those who admire strong acting, exciting situations and thrilling cli maxes should avail themselves of the opportunity to witness Nathan Hale next Saturday night. Mr. Howard Kyle is one of America’s leading actors. He studied law and taught school before he went on the stage. He is an orator of considerable ability and would demand a large salary as a lecturer, but prefers acting. He is a polished, educated gentleman who is in love with bis profession and no one can witness his performance without being elevated. Three free Seats. The Ledger will give two $1.00 tickets to the school-boy or girl under sixteen jears of age who will write the best essay on “Nathan Hale’’ the martyr patriot, and one seat and a years subscription to The Ledger to the second best essay. These essays must be submitted by Thursday noon and the best one will be published in Friday’s Ledger. To every scholar selling $10 worth of tickets one of the best seats in the house will be given. Choctaw Chronicle*. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Choctow, Miss., Nor. IK).—The health of our community is very good. Crops are very near all gatb. ered. The corn crop is somewhat short, only about half a crop; cotton about two-thirds of a crop. Cotton is bringing from 7c to 8c per pound; flour $4 per barrel; meat 13c a pound. Winter set in on the 27th with a snow storm from the north west. The writer wants to find out some thing through The Ledger columns about the’manure driller that was put up by Banders and Lindler, of Jackson, Ala., as be thinks they will sell well in Mississippi. You will find enclosed $1 for The Ledger for 1903; that means for The Ledger to keep coming. There is something in your col umns some time ago about molasses making in that State and Texas, so I will give a few items of old Choctow molasses, aspecially the ribbon cane. The writer bad nearly one-fourth of an acre in ribbon cane and put nearly one-half of it down for seed and made 73 gallons. So you see what one acre would make—twice 73 or 146 and four times 146, which is 584 gallons. I am not boasting, but if anyone dis believes me let him come out here next September and see for bimseif.. I have bought a small tract of land containing 120 acres. It has as fine a spring on it as ever boiled out of the earth, and has a railroad surveyed in half a mile of it. It would be a nice cotton mill site. It runs 50 gal lons per minute, roc)c in abundance close by for building purposes; eight miles south of Ackerman, seven east of where good timber is, which is so badly needed in this country. J. J.
