We suppose we are not re
vealing any trade secret when
we say that many medicines
are made up on the principle
of the so-called “shot-gun pre
scriptions,” which were form
erly somewhat in vogue.
( The idea of the shot-gun pre
scription was to put in a large
number of different drugs, each
useful for different purposes,
in the hope that some of them
might hit the case.
Vinol, the medicine we sell
over our name and guarantee.
Is not a scattering “shot-gun
prescription,” but goes straight
to the mark.
It is the best thing we know
for a run-down condition, for a
listless feeling, nerve troubles,
for lung troubles—in fact, it is
s safe, pleasant, reliable tonic
and reconstructor.
It has cured so many people
right here in town we offer
money back if it fails to benefit.

Etta Jane, Feb. 4.—Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
May lt>, 20 21 and 22, are the days
set for the thirteenth t unual reunion
of 1 lie United Confederate Veterans
to he held in the city of New Orleans,
La. There are 1 41)0 camps of U. C.
Veterans in this organization. At
this reunnion a fine dark hay horse
L’d hands high and six years old,
without a blemish, will be presented
to General Gordon by F. M. Hill, of
McKinney, Texas, and S. i>. Ellis, of
Coddo, Indian Territory. The donors
will present this tine blooded animal
in behal' of the tx-Confederate veter
ans.
It is claimed by some that the
hedgehog always comes out on the
third of February, and if he sees his
shadow he goes back into his den and
there remains till winter is broken.
If he came out yesterday he failed to
set- it and therefore, if the logic be
true, winter is broken. Uncle Reu
ben Jenkins used to say, “Just so far
as the sun shines into the house on
the third of February, the snow will
blow in before tne winter breans.”
What does .Mr. Mike Sellers and our
other weather prophets say’
Last night we had a terrific storm
of wind and rain.
Mr. Howell Horton’s child, who
was so badly burned one day last
wi-ek, is stilt living, but with little if
any hopes of its recovery.
Rev. Mr. Weldon, of Greenville,
will preach at Abingdon creek church
on tne third Sabbath of this month
at 11 a. m. He is expected to supply
that church this jear. This is his
first visit and we hope our people will
give him a large congregation and re
spectful hearing.
We have just finished reading “Mr.
World and Miss Church Member—A
Twentieth Century Allegory.” The
book is written somewhat after the
style of Runyon’s Pilgrim Progress,
but* in no sense is it an imitation of
any existing work of the kind. This
book will he found at the Gaffney li
brary and wt commend it to the read
ing public, and especially the young
people, and hope it will be a solemn
warning td someone.
Rev. W. H. White preached at
Salem last Sabnath morning and
again at night. Good congregations
attended each service.
The sudden rise in the price of cot
ton and cotton seed has c>vu«ed a
rush of both to the market. Farmers
claim they can raise cotton at ten
cents on an average but when it falls
below that they are losers.
Our people are expecting to put up
the telephone this week. This will
give us communication with the out
side world vis, Hickory Grove, Blacks
burg and Voikville. We hope soon
to see a line built counectiag us di
rect. with Gaffney.
Mr. Vaney 0. Comer went to Gaff
ney Iasi Monday on business.
We had no mail from Union last
Monday. The route is a long one
and the'road is bad, especially ihat
portion between here and Sktilj
8hoa!s. on Pacolet river.
The IS* u!! Shoals congregation
(Pdcolet No. 1) are building a new
house for worship at the old site—
right where it ought to be, in our
judgment, not only on account of the
graveyard, but because it is a beauti
ful location.
w’e understand the Sunnyside
school wilt start this week. They
have had no teacher for some time.
The last few days liavo started the
win at and oats to growing and farm
ers are beginning to fix for work.
In a letter from comrade I. Peeler,
of Confer, Miss , we lear.i that-he lefl
his old home on the headwaters of
Giikey (’re* k—t ho ol I Peeler, place in
October, 18.’)'), and moved to Mis*i*-
sippi, where he has been living ever
since, except the four years he was
in the war.
Mr. l\;t-ler, though an unpreten
tious man, is a forceful writer and his
loyalty to and admiration for Gen
Albert Sydney Johnson is character
istic of his South Carolina blood
He savs among other things in writ
ing of the battle of Shiloh: “Could
Albert Sydney Johnson have lived
for two hours longer Gen. U S Grant
would never have been made presi-
dent?of the United States.”
Capt. Joe Laur, of Illinois, who
fought at Shiloh on the Union side,
fell in company with an intelligent
negro some years after the war who
told him that he in 18(i2 lived r.e<r
the Shiloh battleground. He belonged
to a Mr. Cherry, who once lived in
Savannah. Ga. (’berry was a strong
Un.on man and Gen. Grant bad hi«
headqnurt. rs at his house. Onl night
G*m Grant told his adjutant to let
Gen. Buell know that there was no
occasion for him to rush his men, a*
it would be a week before they would
be ready to march to Corinth, and in
the meantime little would be done.
Mrs. Cherry overheard this, and she
was a Confederal*—not to Gen. Grant
buft to Gen. Beauregard So she
quietly went to the kitchen, wrote a
note to Gen Beauregard an 1 told this
negro what it was and what be should
do with it. He got a horse, passed
the lines, shot through the darkness
to Beauregard’s headquarters and put
the note in the general's hand Soon
everything began to move, Beaure
gard rushed towards Pittsburg Land
ing and fought one of the bloodiest
battles of the war up to that time—

WOMEN AND SOCIETY.
IA11 communications to this column should
be addressed to V. O. Box 304. |
The gown here depicted is of black
cheviot, flecked with scarlet, the
b'ouse waist having a wide "box plait
in front, and, just above the belt a
cluster of corded horizontal tucks.
The cape-like garniture, with its ex
tension point in front, as well as the
old cuffs, are of white broadcloth,
ornamented with black and scarlet
disks and small embroidered dots.
The gored skirt has a corded yoke,
panel front and inverted plaits at the
bottom. The si itching, which is done
with Corticehi stitching silk, adds to
the further decoration.
As far as the shape of the shirt is
concerned the clinging effect at the
hips is stiii adhered to, also the be
coming and generous flire toward the
bottom and good models stem to be
preferred. Panel fronts are also
liked, as they give height to the
figure, and at the sides and back one
or two narrow shaped flounces are
seen, which not only add very much
to the appearance of the skirt but
serve to emphasize the panel front.
All the new skirts, in whatever man
ner they are cut. and trimmed, have
one tendency ; to make the figure as
sylph-like as possible above the knees
and as fluffy and full as possible be
low.
