' Lawn Locals. Lawn, Aug. 14.—Our good friend and whom we had thought to be a con firmed bachelor, Mr. J. A. Alexander, went to town the other day and bought for himself a nice suit of furniture, and not only the furniture but the mattress also. Now. the mystery to us Is if he is not anticipating getting a helpmate, and throwing off his bachelorhood, what in the world did he want with that furniture anyway? Girls, there is a good chance for some of you. “Jud” is one of the best fellows that Chero kee affords and would make some good woman a mighty good husband. Capt. Coyle’s good roads company is now stationed at Pondfleld, and will give us some practicable exhibitions in good road making, which was begin ning to be badly needed In this sec tion. Mrs. Henry Guyton, who has been confined to her bed for about four weeks, is, we are glad to report, now on the mend, but very feeble yet. Mrs. R. S. Soencer, who has been in very poor health for several months, and a greater part of the time serious ly dll, is still in very poor health. Mr. John Huggins, who has bought the nroperty now occupied by Mr. Roan Jennings, expects to occupy the same about the first of September. It is with verv great reluctance that we give Mr. Huggins up. He is one of our best farmers. Mr. Huggins will go Into the mercantile business and we hope for him much success in his new home and undertaking. Mr. “Ton” Whelchel has bought a new buggy. Look out, girls! “Ton” is a bachelor. Newsboy. A FORMER GAFFNEY PREACHER. The Cherokee Building and Loan.'. V: / Opens its Second Series Augnstjth, 1905.

Office Over The Battery. ’Phone 82 He is Doing a Great Work in the Mountain City. The Baltimore Evening Herald of last Tuesday contained a cut of Rev. B. P. Robertson, former pastor of the First Baptist church of this city, and the following write-up of a great work Mr. Robertson is engaged in in that city: “The united evangelistic campaign being conducted in various parts of the city 4s progressing to the entire satisfaction of those in charge. When the movement w r as set on foot among the ministers of the Protestant churches of ‘he city to unite without respect of creed in general evangeli cal services every night in the week, it met with a generous and hearty response. The difficulty apparent at first in obtaining funds sufficient to prosecute the work was obviated by generous voluntary subscriptions from many persons interested in church work. “Nightly in the two tents and from the two gospel wagons services have been held, while two steropticons at different points in the city have al ready done efficient work. “Already more than 75,000 persons have attended the services, and about 900 have signed cards announcing their intention to lead better lives. The Sunday services in Druid Hill Park have been unusually well attend ed, and the interest manifested in them seems to be very sincere. Work in the Slums. “ ‘One of the phenomenal results of the campaign,’ said Rev. B. P. Rob ertson, general superintendent, this morning, ‘has been the work among the poor and unfortunate girls. In one week sixty-seven of them, through 'he work of one of the gospel wagons, have expressed a desire to live a dif ferent life. If we only had the work ers and a full equipment for the res cue of these girls, there is no telling the number that might be saved. “ ‘One of the wagons has visited a certain sec* ion several times, and the saloonkeeper on the corner has said 1 hat if it kept on it would break up his business. “‘In another part of the city one of the residents said that the wagon work in that section has done more good in two nights than had been done there in ten years. In still another place one stranger who had not been in the habit of attending church said that be bad learned more of the gos pel of Chris* in one service than he had ever learned before. “ ‘The great need in this campaign is for good, trained Christian workers who know how to do personal work with individuals. At one of the ster- eoptican services about 3,000 people were present and there were only two or three workers.’ ” J. C. OTTS Attorney-at-Law, Notary in Office. Office removed to New Bank Building.

ECZEMA SUFFERERS and thousands of wretched people suffering from skin diseases will be interested in this ASTOUNDING GOOD NEWS W* arc plaasad to announea that wa hava arrangatf with tha manufaaturars of tha wondorful D, D.

This arrangement will enable those suffering the tortures of the damned from skin diseases to procure D. D. D. at their nearest drug store. It will bjing happiness to thousands who are miserable—Imagining they have a blood poison* Ing—when in nine cases out of ten it is purely a local parasitic manifestation on tha skin whloh can ba cleared away in a hurry. Such misery now cleared away as surely as the sun shines above. Not merely attempted—not a matter of improvement only—but a clearing of it all away absolutely—and quickly^ too. WE VOUCH FOR THIS It has been proven to us beyond the possibil ity of a doubt that a new medicine quickly clears up the worst skin affections. Its work seems astonishing, amazing, almost miracu* lous. (It is a specific formula which, because of its discovery by Dr. Decatur Dennis, is known as “D.D.D.") Its actual record sounds like a story of magic. But there is no room for doubt about it whatever; full proofs, indisput able in every respect, have been submitted re garding hundreds of cases—among them the case illustrated in this announcement. The case shown here (Mr. Charles Jacobs, psoria sis of many years’ standing) was permanently cured. It is now nearly five years since the disease was cleared out of his skin and no taint of it has appeared since. This Is not merely a commercial matter, It is a matter of humanity to tell everybody with a skin disease about this medicament. Among the many cases proven to us of astonishingly quick and complete cures, all of which seem to have been permanent, many were photographed in such a condition that a reproduction in a newspaper would be perhaps too shocking for print. This case given here, in the cause of humanity, this paper con sented to print just as the patient appeared before and after treatment, though another newspaper refused to do so. Not a newspaper in Christendom but should publish every word of this information, pictures and all, if duty and not dollars were the governing rule. You take no risk whatever in buying D.D.D. because the manufacturers absolutely guaran tee to cure you, and if it fails your druggist will refund the purchase price. This offer is made in good faith and there is no reason why any one should be longer tortured by skin diseases when a certain and guaranteed cure is within easy reach. We vouch for the geauineaes* of this guaranty. y lotos ’Mr. iarles Jacobs. Clearaim away W most at once and perman ently cured.
