The frock must be simple, but there are many varieties of simplicity and some of the varieties demand much of the dressmaker’s skill and the fond parent’s purse. A graduating frock to he pretty and appropriate need not be expensive. Fineness of material it must have. \ full skirt of fine lawn, gored at. the top to do away with superfluous stuff, but left full enough to be shirred into the waist band, or tucked vertically tround the hips, may be made charm ing by use of tucks as sole trimming. With tucked skirts, tucks in blouse are imperative, and the only other tirmming is introduced in the yoke or guimpe, bertha and sleeve. * « * Mrs. D.

There Is a Difference. The difference between Kennedy’s Laxative Honey and Tar and all other Cough Syrups is that it moves the bowels, thus expelling a cold from the system. This relaxes the nerve- tissues and by its healing effect on the throat and lungs the cough is re lieved—cured entirely. Kennedy’s is the original Laxative Honey and Tar and contains no opiates.

Miss Bailey, of Limestone College, gave her graduation recital in the col lege auditorium on Monday evening. May ICth, and it was well attended. She did some remarkably fine playing r and surprised many, even of her old admirers. She obtained the greatest amount of volume and speed from the piano without the least effort and as far as we understand it, it is the thing to be aimed at in proper piano play ing. Miss Bailey has worked hard, and coupled with Mr. Sherubel’s artistic teaching has accomplished much. Mrs. Sherubel sang three numbers and was in splendid voice, her high notes being clear, round and of much volume. The following programme was ren dered : PROGRAMME. 1.

The graded School and Down Town baseball teams mei on the diamond at Limestone Wednesday afternoon. Quite a crowd went down from Gaff ney and the young ladies at the col lege were out in full force. For four innings the boys played rattling good ball, but in the fifth the Town Boys jumped on to Byers’ curves like a duck on to a Junebug, and pounded him all over the lot. In addition to the punishment thus inflicted, his sppport gave way and the result was five runs before the side was retired. The Down Town boys were cheered on to victory by the college girls, and it noticeable that every time a certain young gallant went to the bat ,or made a specially brilliant play— and he made several of them— the bevy of beauties fin the hillside were liberal in their applause. The score ended 13 to 3 in favor of the favorites. The line-up was as follows: Down Town—Lolly. 2b: Lit tle, L, ss: Clary, c: Parish, p: Snead, cf: Walker, rf: Brown, lb: Little, D.. 3h; Ramsey, If.

The intolerable itching and stinging are tanta lizing almost beyondciidurance, and the unsightly eruption and rough, red skin keep one thoroughly uncomforhbie and miserable night and day. Eczema, Tetter, and diseases of this type are caused bj; acid poisons in the blood, which the heat of summer seems to warm into life and renewed activity. These fiery acids keep the blood in a riotous and sour I condition, and the ski: unhealthy and feverish—they inflame the pores and retard perspira tion, when the whole bdy feels like an over-heated furnace, and the escaping poison bums and blisters like liquid fire.

I colsultcd several physicians and a nmnWr of specialists, and used several eternal applications, one of which was tl lini- ed to be a cert rin specific.

In February I decided to try*S. 1 S., andin less than a month I expcriJa d a change f >r the better, and by g.-.y of that year all symptoms had dis appeared, and I found myself enttely cured, and have had no return ofthe dtaeasem,*. \v.

Scratching is a pleasant recreation to one tor mented and almost distracted by an aggravating itching skin eruption. Some find tempor ary relief in bathing and the application of lotions and salves. A few hours respite is gained by such methods, but nothing applied externally can escaping poison THE ITCHING WAS TERRIBLE. Escondido, San Diego Co., Cal., Oct 1900. Dear Sirs—My body broke out with a rash or eruption. The itching, especially at night, was simply terrible; it would almost disappear at times, only to return worse than ever. I had tried many preparations with- 1 out benefit, and hearing of S. S. S. determin ed to give it a fair trial; a few bottles cured me entirely, removing every blemish and pimple from my body. L. Marno, BAD FORM OF TETTER. For three years I had Tetter on my hands, which caused them to swell to twice their natural size. Part of the time the disease was in the form of running sores, very pain- f :1, and causing me much discomfort. Four doctors said the Tetter had progressed too f r to be cured, and they could do nothing for me. I took only three bottles of S. S. S. and was completely cured. This was fifteen years ago, anil I have never since seen any sign of my old trouble. Mrs. L. B. Jackson, 837 St. Paul St, Kansas City, Kan. Mrs. .W. C. Carpenter Entertains.

The nerve centers are the reservoirs of nervous vitality. These centers become bloodless for want of proper nutrition. This is especially true in the spring season. Every spring a host of invalids are produced as the direct result of weak nerves. This can be easily obviated by using Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root of the difficulty by correcting the digestion. Digestion furnishes nutrition for the nerve centers. Properly digested food furnishes these reservoirs of life with vitality which leads to strong, steady nerves, and thus nourishes life. Peruna is in great favor among women,especially those who have voca* tions that are trying to the nerves. Peruna furnishes tho lasting vigor for the nerves that such people need. Thousands of testimonials from women in all parts of the Uni ted States are being received every year. Snch unsolicited evidence surely proves that Peruna is without an equal as a nerve tonic and a vital invigorator. Buy a bottle of Peruna to-day. If you do not receive all the bene fits from Peruna that you expected, write to Dr. S. B. Hartman, Colum bus, Ohio. *?' . v MV: New Goods Arriving. /W ‘varr-T.”, 1 Another shipment of the prettiest MATTING you ever saw, the kind made to wear. :: :: :: More IRON BEDS added ^o our already complete line.

The acid poison in the blood, which is the real cause of the eruption, must b^ ' ttaiked, and when the blood has beeu cleared of all accumulated impu rities and restored to a hetlthy condition, then, and only then, will a thorough, and lasting cure be effected, and for the accomplishment of all this, no remedy equals S.

Terrific Race With Death. “Death was fast approaching,” writes Ralph F. Fernandez, of Tampa, Fla., describing his fearful race with death, “as a result of liver trouble and heart disease, which had robbed me of sleep and of all interest in life, I had tried many different doctors ! and several medicines, but got no benefit, until I began to use Electric Bitters. So wonderful was their ef fect, that in three days I felt like a new man, and today I am cured of all my troubles."
