Men and Women of All Ages, I CAN CURE YOU! THE M. M. CLUB. CLIFTON CHRONICLES. The specialist is now Indispensable. In all walks of life there is a demand for the man who can do one particular thing better than any one else, and such a man is one who has confined his endeavor to, and centered all of his energy and ability on the specialty he has chosen for hie life's work. Early in my professional career I realized that Chronic Diseases were not being given the attention which their importance warranted. I saw that these diseases required a special fii- ness which the busy practitioner could never acquire. For more than twenty years I have de voted myself exclusively to the study and treatment of these diseases, and the fact that physi cians recommend me to their patients is an evidence of my skill and ability in my special line. I give special counsel to physicians with obstinate and obscure cases. I have devoted particular attention to chronic diseases of men and women, and no othtt class of disease requires more intelligent and expert treatment. It is a fact that a majority of men owe the seriousness of their condition to improper treatment, and a failure to realize the importance of placing their case in the hands of a skilled andexp 61-1 specialist. Nervous Debility m DR. HATHAWAY. Recognized as the Leading and Most Successful Specialist in His line in the United States. Overindulgence, indiscretions and excesses are not the only causes of an impairment of sexual strencth. Such a derange ment frequently comes from worry, overwork, mental strain, etc., which gradually weakens and injures the system before the unfortunate victim realizes the true nature of his trouble. Nervousness, weak back, dizziness, loss of memory, spots before the eyes, despondency, etc., often are the first symptoms of an impairment of manly vigor, and if neglected serious results are sure to follow. I want to talk to every man who has any of these symptoms of weakening of his manly functions. I can promptly correct all irregularities, and under my skillful treatment you will have restored all of the strength and glory of your man hood. Whether you consult me or not, do not jeopardize your health by experimenting with ready-made medicines, free samples, so-called quick cures, etc., as the most delicate organs of the body are involved, and only an expert should be entrusted with your case. Send for free booklet, “ Nervous Debility and Its Family of Ills." Stricture My cure for this disease is gentle and painless, and often causes no detention from business or other duties. It involves no cutting or dangerous surgical operation. Improper treatment will result in serious injury. 1 give each case individ ual attention, and treat its every requirement.

NEWTON HATHAWAY, M. D. 41|Inman Building, 22>6 South Broadest., Atlanta, Ga. Give a Delightful Dance at Blacksburg Friday Evening. Blacksburg, June 28.—The M. M. Club gave a delightful dance Friday evening. The dance was in the Fherokee Inn hall and was chaper oned by Mrs. Hudgens, Mrs. Gaden, Mr. and Mrs. Belue, Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Osborne. Young America was filled with gaiety and one had only to pass the hall to see that all pres ent were enjoying themselves. It was an evening that will linger in the minds of those who attended for a long time. The following couples were pres ent: Miss Lucy Thompson with Mr. Luther Davis; Miss R. Gaden with Mr. Furman Belue; Miss Edith Ga den with Mr. Frank Deal; Miss Louise Carpenter, of Rutherfordton, N. C., with Mr. Hugh Davidson; Misses Guyton with Mr. Herbert Ryne; Miss Dot Urquhart with Mr. Livy Caldwell, of Due West; Miss Hossie Greenskade and Miss Mary Anderson with Mr. Will Anderson; Miss Gaston and Miss Hopper with Mr. Roy Osborne; Miss Bessie Rhine- hardt with Mr. Oreh Moore; Misses Pollock with Dr. Montgomery; Miss Marion Logan, of Yorkville, with Mr. L. Davis; Miss Ramseur with Mr. Richard Thomson. The participants, as if loath to leave the place of amusement, con tinued dancing until the "wee sma’ ” hours of the morning. At twelve o’clock delightful re freshments were served. Miss Louise Carpenter, of Ruther fordton, N. C., after spending some time with Miss Lucy Thompson, re turned to her home Saturday morn ing. Miss Marion Logan, of Yorkville, returned to her home this morning, after an extended visit to Miss Mabel Ramseur, of this city. Miss Julia Guyton spent Sunday with her parents at this place, and re turned this morning to Spartanburg, at which place she is completing a course in the Converse Business Col lege. Messrs. Frank Deal and Oren Moore returned Saturday from a short pleasure trip to Wilmington, N. C., and other points. Miss Ethel Maxwell is visiting friends in Bluefleld, W. Va. D. Twelve-year-old Girl Drowned While In aBthing. Clifton, June 25.—Yesterday about 3 p. m., Walter, the twelve-year-old son of Mr. Jas. Spearman, was drown ed while bathing with other boys, in Pacolet river below No. 1 mill. The body was recovered about thirty minutes later and every effort was made to restore life, but all proved fruitless. The remains were buried this afternoon at Mt. Zion church in the presence of quite a number of people. Rev. J. W. Elkins conducted the funeral exercises. To the bereav ed family we extend our warmest sympathies. This section was greatly blessed with copious showers of refreshing rain, during the past week, though accompanied by heavy winds and de structive hail in some localities. Farmers are greatly encouraged by the present prospects for their crops. The dry weather afforded a great op portunity for “getting a start of the grass,” and they availed themselves of it right well. Wheat is all cut and Is said to be a fine yield, but acreage was too small. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Sparks enter tained some friends with an ice cream supper this evening, which was a delightful treat during such a warm spell of weather. Mrs. A. J. Cobb, formerly of Clif ton and Pacolet, but late of Moul- trieville, Ga., died at the latter place last night and will be brought here tomorrow at 4 p. m., for burial on Monday. Little Hoyt, the two-year-old son of Rev. and Mrs. T. H. Harrison, has been quite sick for nearly two months, suffering from some disease similar to indigestion, and from which, it seems he is making very slow recovery. A vast amount of fish (and some very fine ones) has been caught during the t last three months at this place. It seems as if fish has been more plentiful for the last twelve months—ever since the destructive freshet of last year—than in many years of the past.

I will leave this matter to you, how ever, as it may be that you have al ready announced meetings for Ches ter and Gaffney. Yours very truly, W. J. Spillman, Agrostologist.

RYDALE’S TONIC A REAL CURE FOR ZMTA.L-A.IRiIJL. It has recently been 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, freeing 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. RYDALE’S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try it, it will not disap point you.

Good Time. North Pacolet Interdenominational Sunday School Convention met at Gethsemane on last Sunday. The chaplain, Rev. Simpson Blanton, con ducted the devotional exercises; after which the president, Bro. J. L. Strain, took charge. After roll call the pro gram was taken up. First query was discussion of re ports of different schools; discussed ! by Bro. Wm. Jefferies. 2nd query: “What constitutes a model Sunday school teacher?” Dis- i cussed by Bros. J. L. Strain, Ed Clary, J. A. Hames and Wm. Jefferies. 3rd query: “By which does the teacher wield the greatest iniluence, his precept or his example?” Dis cussed by T. M. Littlejohn and Wm. Jefferies. A class of little boys and girls then gave the convention an instructive lesson in the catechism, and a song, which was appreciated by all pres ent. This class was conducted by Bro. E. J. Green. Next a recess of one hour, after which a little girl five years old ap peared before the convention and an swered eight lessons in the cate chism, only missing three questions.

The place of next meet ing was discussed, and Rehoboth was decided upon as the place on fourth Sunday in September. The convention then adjourned. H. E. Jefferies, Secretary.
