(Continued from page one.> MISS HARDIN THE WINNER. Miss Kathleen Hardin, of Blacks burg, is the winner of The Ledger’s A Big Company of Comedians. There lives today no man with keener perception of the truly artis tic comedy than Barlow & Wilsoa. True humor has not only ‘been a gift, but a study, with Messrs.

Test Bold Hyomej for Year* and Know It Will Cure Catarrh. Gaffnev Drug Co. have given Hyom ’ a most thorough and remarkable test. For a long time they ftive offered to refund the money to any purchaser of Hyomei, if it failed to benefit. The remedy has made «o many cures among their customers that they have urged its use in the most chronic cases of catarrh. Breathed for a few minutes four times a day, through the inhaler that comes with every ‘outfit, it soothes the nose, throat, and lungs, kits the catarrhal germs, and restores complete health. Its healing, anti septic fragrance penetrates to the most remote air passages, as no medi cine taken into the stomach can pos sibly do. Immediate relief almost always follows the use of Hyomei. and great benefit is seen after a few day’s treatment. The- complete Hyomei outfit costs only $1, and conafsts of an inhaler that can be carried in the pocket or; purse, and will last a lifetime, a medi cine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei. If this is not sufficient for a complete cure, additional bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for 50 cents. Compare this small expense with the fees charged by spepialists ; and remember, too, if Hyomei does not cure, Gaffney Drug Co. will return i your money. There is One Soda Cracker Only and One.

Judge Memminger is one of the nost conscientious men on the bench n this or any other State. The Cher- >kee bar is unanimous in proclaming hat he is fair and impartial. He does lot hesitate to punish the guilty, yet here is an element of mercy in his sentences. The State- would be infi- libely better off if it possessed more judges like him. • » • There can be no complaint about aon-conviction and juries not doing their duties at this term of court.
