4 The case of Miss Frankie Orser, of Boston, Mass., is in teresting to all women. “Dear Mbb. PwriiiAM : — I suffered mi sery for several years. My back ached and I had bearing-down pains, and fre- ^ quent headaches. I would often wake 'from a restful sleep in such pain and misery that it would be hours before I could close my eyes again. I dreaded the long nights and weary days. I could do no work. I consulted differ ent physicians hoping to get relief, but, finding that their medicines did not cure me, I tried Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound, as it was highly recommended to me. I am glad that I did so, for I soon found that it was the medicine for my case. Very soon I was rid of every ache and f ain and restored to perfect health. feel splendid, have a fine appetite, and have gained in weight a lot.” — Miss Frankie Orser, 14 Warrenton St., Boston, Mass. — $5000 forfeit Iforlglnai of about letter proving genuineness cannot be pro duced.

We have the pleasure to acknowl edge receipt of another contribution for the Thornwell Orphanage, $1.00 from Mr. A. C. Robbs. It is a matter for the deepest regret that no more have come forward with contributions for the care and comfort of the help less little ones who are dependent up on the generosity of the public for even the necessities of life. Surely a moment’s thought of their condition should be enough to touch the most callous heart and appeal to the most selfish and miserly disposition. Let the generous side of your nature, no matter how small it may be, rise up at this season, and* let us send a hand some Christmas present down to the little orphans at Clinton. A Coming Marriage. The following item from the Waco, Texas, Times-Herald will be a matter of interest, and no doubt surprise, to Gaffney people: “Announcement is made of another home wedding which is to take place at high noon on Wednesday, the 21st. The bride-to-be is Miss Ireene Culbert son, youngest daughter of Mr. H. M. Culbertson, and the groom is Mr. Jas. B. Richardson, of Gaffney, S. C. The ceremony will be at home and very private, followed by an imme diate departure for South Carolina.” Straight Facts. A whole lot of fancy phrases can be written about remedies, but it takes facts to prove anything—good straight facts. And the strongest fact you ever heard is that Tannopiline is the best cure for piles on the market. It cures absolutely. Has a healing, soothing effect from the start. All druggists have it for $1.00 ajar. Ask for Tannopiline and don’t dare take a substitute. —Ask for “Eg Nog” anywhere in town. Dealers have all got it. —Ask for “Eg Nog’’ anywhere in town.

Attention is directed to the adver-| tisement. of J. M. Nelson, in this issue, who is preparing to have a ten days sale at his store beginning today (Fri day), and continuing till the end of next week. June Hicks, of the upper section of the county, had his seed house destroy ed by fire last Friday morning. Three hundred bushels of cotton seed and a lot of feed stuff were in the house when burned. George Camp is charg ed with the burning and is now in jail awaiting a preliminary trial. This week has been a cold one, and the mercury has been playing around the freezing mark for several days. It began snowing about ten o’clock Wednesday night, and yesterday morn ing the ground was covered, though the snow had stopped. The clouds still had a leaden color, though, and more “falling weather” is expected. For Christmas and New Year. As Christmas day and New Year’s day both come on Sunday, the Na tional bank and the Merchants and Planters bank will be closed on the Monday following. The Pearl Steam Laundry will also be closed from Christmas day till New Year’s day, inclusive. VV. L. Goudelock, of Gowdysville, called on The Ledger Tuesday and re newed. —Ask for “Eg Nog” anywhere town. Dealers have ail got it. in “The Law in Cherokee.” [Newberry Observer.] We are told by the Observer that “there has not been a single United States license for the sale of liquor taken out in Cherokee county since the dispensary was voted out, and blind tigers have not become more plentiful. Where the people are in fa vor of a law by an overwhelming ma jority the law will be obeyed, for those who would like to violate it are afraid to.” We are Informed by the Spartan burg Journal that since the dispen sary was voted out in Cherokee the sales of the Spartanburg dispensaries have greatly increased, for the reason, it is stated, that the people of Chero kee, now that they have no dispensary of their own, are going to Spartanburg for their whiskey. The fact remains that people who want whiskey to drink will have it. But, whatever the law, it ought to be enforced, and we are glad to know that Cherokee is enforcing her new law.— The Evening Telegram. It is quite natural and to be ex pected that the sale at the Spartan burg dispensaries should have in- ereased^ince the closing of the Chero kee dispensaries, for it is the time of the year when people buy the greatest quantities of liquor. It is true, to a limited extent, that people who want whiskey are going to get it; but many more will get it if it is convenient to them, and there is no excuse for a man who “puts the bottle to his neighbor’s mouth”—nor for a county or community either. The argument that people are going to have what they want, carried to its | logical conclusion, would knock up every prohibition on the penal statutes and regulate the State to a condition of savagery and lawlessness. More than 1900 druggists have been arrested in Chicago for filling prescrip tions with impure drugs. By the way, what has happened to the men who put iron bars in the life-preservers? Bilious Colic Prevented. Take a double dose of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as soon as the first indication of the disease appears and a treatened at tack may be warded off. Hundreds of people use the remdy in this way with perfect success. For sale by Cherokee Drug Co., Gaffney; L. D.

In an article in The Outlook for July, 1899, by George Kennan, who heard Quesada speak at the Esteban Theater, Mantanzas, Cuba, he said: “I have seen many audiences under the spell of eloquent speech and In the grip of strong emotional excitement; but 1 have rarely witnessed such a scene as at the close of Quesada’s eulogy upon the dead patriot, Marti.” In a letter to The Peruna Medicine Com pany, written from Washington, D. C., Senor Quesada says: “Peruna / can recommend as a very good medi cine. It is an excellent strengthening tonic, and it is also an efficacious cure for the almost universal complaint of catarrh. ’’—Gonzalo De Quesada. Congressman J. H. Bankhead, of Ala bama, one of the most influential mem bers of the House of Representatives, in a letter written from Washington, D. C., gives his endorsement to the great ca tarrh remedy, Peruna, in the following words: ••Your Peruna is one of the best medicines / ever tried, and no family should be without your remarkable remedy. Asa tonic and catarrh cure I know of nothing better.”—J. ti. There is but a single medicine which is a radical specific for catarrh. It is Peruna, which has stood a half century test and cured thousands of cases. If you do not derive prompt and sati»- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once, to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis.
