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.

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.’ ”

to act as distributors for this city and vicinity of this well-known preparation, and will
not only sell D.D.D. at retail at our store, but will supply druggists at wholesale prices.
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.
