Box 304.1 Medallions of white lace are .inox pensive and are in excellent taste to smarten a black gown. Shirrings and puffings are quite as popular as they were in mid-summer, and they afford opportunities for elaborate trimming of wide skirts and the remodelling of half-worn gowns. The small boleros, which we have been so accustomed to wearing will he used again for very dressy suits, and the only difference between last year’s and this year’s styles is in the Jeeves, which are plainer and in the quarter length. Cashmere, chiffon, broadcloth and other firm, smooth surface cloths are employed in the making of reception costumes. Chiffon velvets, soft and pliable, are to be in high vogue as the season advances. Combinations of velvet with lustrous cloth will be more pop ular than ever. * * • Miss Sallie Rivers, who has been the guest of Mrs. W. R. Lipscomb, has gone to Bamberg to teach.

A prison visitor recently asked, one 1 of the prisoners how he came to be' there. “Want,” was the answer. “How was that, pray?” “Well, I wanted another man’s watch. He wasn’t willing I should have it, and the judge wants me to stav here five vears.” Suspected Footpads Arrested. John .1. Carney and John Lurksie, the two white men from Chicago ar rested in Columbia on suspicion as being the footpads who held un Judge G;:r\ and Mr. E. B. Lykes and robbed them on the streets of that city Sat urday night and Mr. F. J. Nagle on the Saturday night previous, are still be ing held by the police. There were no developments Wednesday to connect them with the robberies so far as could he learned. The police are now waiting to hear from Judge Gary, who is now holding court in Darlington. He has been written to for a descrip tion of the man who held him up and just what will be done with Carney an,l Lurskie will depend on their simi larity to this description. to N Lipscomb. ffnoy, S. C. )< :ir SirTv There’s a little hit of a state down east- a Rhode Island man was fined ?100 the other day for sell- ing potatoes—his bushel was like his state; short-measure. It isn’t fair to rnmish a man for short-bushel potatoes, and not for short-gallon paint. There is short-gallon paint in many stores in your section. Dovoe lead-and-zinc don’t, measure short: and don’t last short. It’s full- measure both ways. Yours truly 124 F W Dovoe & Co P. S.—R. M. Wilkins Hardware Co. sell our paint. Is it Right? Is it right that a property-ownei should lose $4.20 to let a dealer make 50 cents? A dealer makes 50 cents more on fourteen gallons of ready- for-use paint, at $1.50 per gallon, than our agent does on eight gallons of L * M. paint and six gallons of linseed oil, which makes fourteen gallons of the best paint in the world, at $1.20 per gallon; the property-owner loses just $1.20. Is it right? It only requires 4 gallons of L. & M. and 3 gallons linseed oil to paint a moderate sized house. Ten Thausand Churches painted with Longman & Martinez L. & M. Paint.

This Pretty Matron Had Headache and Backache, and Her Condition Was Serious. PE-RU-NA CURED. u mm MRS. M. BRICKIMER. 99 Eleventh Street, ) Milwaukee, Wla. ) ••A short time ago / found my con* dltlon very serious. 1 had headaches, pains In the back, and frequent dizzy spells which grew worse every month. I tried two remedies before Peruna, and was discouraged when I took the first dose, but my courage soon returned. In less than two months my health was restored.”—Mrs. M. Brlckner. The reason of so many failures to cure cases similar to the above is the fact that diseases peculiar to the female sex are not commonly recognized as being caused by catarrh. Catarrh of one organ is exactly the same as catarrh of any otiier organ. What will cure catarrh of the head will also cure catarrh of tlie peivio organs. Peruna euros these cases slinpty oecause it cures the catarrh. If you have catarrh write at ^nce to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of ywur case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
