Several families who have been at the cotton mills are moving out on farms and will work on the halves when tuey don’t rent or hire for wages. Some parties, we understand, have been looking over lands in this sec tion offered for sale. That it will all come into market sooner or later there can be no doubt; much of it can be bougbjt cheap, either cash or on easy payments. Messrs. Arthur and John Estes, of Sedulia, came up yesterday on a visit to friends in this section. YVe understand that some of our neighbors intend building soon. Plans have been made out and we ex pect tbe parties to let out the con tracts a little later on. Miss Maggie Estes is going to school at Hopewell. Rev.

It has recently ’>een discovered that the germs that produce Malaria, breed and multiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system by means-of the blood. This fact ex plains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine, Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. Rydale’s Tonic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freein" them from all disease breeding mi crobes. It also kills the germs that infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter and makes it rich and healthy. RY'DALE’S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try it, it will not disap point you.

Our place is always kept NEAT AND CLEAN, and we strive to give our patrons a ser vice unexcelled by any other market house in the city. We want them to “come again,” and for that reason we make our place, our goods and our prices as attractive as possible. For tender Meats, fresh Groceries and prompt and courteous atten tion go to W. J. 3rd door below Ledger Office. Embroidery is conspicuous, either done on the material, or in bands, the latter being sometimes in motifs joined together, and separable should occasion demand it. Braids are also in great favor as garnitures, and in black or tasteful mixtures of color, will do very much to adorn plain material. Gold braid will be espec ially stylish, and just here it can be added that & frequent intermixture of gilt threads in both passementeries and braids, is very apparent. Fringes, likewiie, are to be very fashionable, particularly as a completion to tbe deep yokes that are a distinguishing feature in dress. Lace is used in al most illimitable quantities. Valen ciennes leads and expensive gowns in sheer fabrics will be well-nigh as much in lace, as in fabric proper.
