Cherokee county has the greatest falls on the river except Lockhart. Ceciliau Recital. A “Cecilian Recital” will be given at the “Poverty Soshul” to be held in the old W. O.

There seems to be some misunder standing as to the matter of dress to be adopted by the ladies on the above occasion ; when, as a matter of fact, it is not obligatory upon them that they wear a “kaliker dress.” They may don anything that best suits their fancy.

When the stom ach fails to perform its functions the bowels become deranged, the liver and kidneys congested, causing nu merous diseases, the most fatal of which are painless and therefore the more to be dreaded. The important thing is to restore the stomach and liver to a healthy condition, and for this purpose uo better preparation can be used than Chamberlain’s Stom ach and Liver Tablets.
