BUYING OLD FIDDLES.

Been
Chronic hoarseness.
Mr*. Delia C. Cameron, Healdsburg,
■Cal., member Daughter* of Ameriea,
writes:
“Having tried many remedies for
ehronie catarrh of the bronchial tubes,
and not receiving any benehi,, I in . ui
to think there was no help for me until
I began to use Poruna.
“In a short time the bronchial tubes
began to clear, I did not have that ‘frog
In my throat’ continually, my voice was
not nearly so husky, and the wheezing
noise disappeared.
“I was soon aide to believe that 1 was
•ntirely free from catarrh, and as this
Was several men ths ago, 1 do not believe
that it will return.”
The above group of women could be
multiplied by ten thousand without
reaching the number that have been
helped by taking Pemna.
Catarrh of the Stomach.
Miss Kiiiily Koch,Oil Michigan Ave.,
Sheboygan, Wis., writes:
“I can heartily recommend Peruna
for catarrh of the stomach. I had tried
many things which did me no good and
as a last resort I got a bottle of Peruna.
“I only regret tliat I did not try it be
fore I forced so much bad stuff into my
stomach. It has entirely cured me and
as a preventative I always keep a bottle
In the house.
“I gladly recommend it to all who are
afflicted as I was.”
A Wasting Disease.
Mrs. Roxa Tyler,6210 Madison Avenue, Chicago, 111., Vice President of
the Illinois Woman’s Alliance, writes:
“During the past year I gradually lost flesh and strength until I was
unable to perform my work properly. I tried different remedies, and finally
l Peruna was suggested to me.
i 1 “It gave me new life and restored my strength. I cannot speak too
|j highly of it.’-
Bronchial Catarrh.
Mrs. Wm. Hohmann, 569 N. Paulina
St., Chicago, 111., writes:
“I suffered with catarrh of the
bronchial tubes and bad a terrible
cough ever since a child. When a child
it was supposed to lie whooping cough
or the croup, but as 1 got older it got
worse.
“After a W'hile it got so bad I had to
cough both winter and summer. IJi*
nally I burst a blood vessel in my throat
from the strain of coughing, next a
blood vessel in my stomach, so I kept
getting worse and doctoring, and even
then could get no rcliei.
“I went to a dispensary for treatment,
but it all done me no good. At night I
could never lie on my back. I would sit
up until two or three o’clock in the
morning before I could close my eyes.
Then of course, I thought, and every
body else that I had consumption.
“Reading the papers about Peruna I
decided to try it without the least hope
that it would do me any good. But after
taking three bottles I noticed a change
My appetite got better, so I kept on
never got discouraged.
“Now I can lie on my back and sleep
all night, and you may well think how
thankful 1 am for Peruna.”

Notes from Union.
Union, Aug. 31.—The Ledger is
brimful of news whether there is a
letter from this point or not. which
shows that for news The Ledger is
not dependent on one individual or
section, but the items are gathered
wherever the happenings occur.
Hence the more interesting from
time to time as the case may be.
Fodder pulling is progressing nice
ly and the weather has been very
favorable for the same.
Cotton is suffering for the want of
an occasional season. A few more
hot days will cause it to shed. Yet
the All Wise knows better than we.
Andrew Worthy, colored, who bad
lived near Worthy’s ferry beyond
Broad river in Chester county, died
last Wednesday at the age of seventy-
five. and about the same time two of
his granddaughters died here in
Union. Both girls were married and
the husband of one of the girls had
a leg broken at Paoolet recently and
is yet confined on account of the in
jury. Silas Worthy, the deceased
girl’s father, is an honest and idus-
trious man.
Several have left the city and coun
tv from time to time for Jamestown.
The Union Times delegation is the
last arrival home, well pleased with
the trip. There is something to be
seen for those who want to see a
portion of the world represented in a
nut shell.
The summer schools aife closing
and soon the graded and high school
will open. So the good work con
tinues. But the rural district school
makes better progress by an undivid
ed term. Slow progress is made by
a few weeks during the summer and
the remaining time during the winter
months.
Warm and dry. That is the weath
er in Union thes e days.
Best wishes to The Ledger and it*
readers.

Fine Instruments Have
Picked Up Cheap.
Great numliers of flue old violins and
’ i ilnncellos that come into the high
rluss market of London are procured
ihrough the medium of advertisements
inserteef in obscure country papers
and especially those of ancient cathe
dral cities.
Of course few of the liddles thus ob
tained are veritable masterpieces, but
a great many of them are tine exam
ples of early English and foreign mak-
ei-s, and they are often bought for ri
diculously small prices by a group of
experts, who have brought the busi
ness to a lucrative system. Many a
struggling family of long descent, in
some out of the way part of the coun
try. happens to see in the one county
newspaper of the week that good
prices are given for old fiddles, and
some long forgotten instrument in a
lumber room or put away on a shelf
suddenly comes to mind.
Correspondence follows. The dealer
sends a deposit in order that some fid
dle spoken of may be sent to him and
examined, and be usually replies that
the instrument sent is dilapidated and
but so-so generally, but that he is •will
ing to give 30 shillings or £2 for it. In
a great many cases the offer is ac
cepted offhand, and in this way most
of the finest fiddles extant of the sec
ond class come into the hands of deal
ers. Only lately a cello that came
from a Shropshire farm at the price
of £2 sold the same day to a west
end dealer for nearly £100.
One of the most shrewd and respect
ed of all these dealers was until a
year or two ago a bumble member of
the orchestra of a London suburban
theater. He began to advertise in re
mote papers to the greatest limits of
his scanty wages and is now one of
the most extensive and prosperous
dealers in the trade.—London Tit-Bits

Letter to E> Cash,
Gaffney, S. C.
Dear Sir: Todd & Downing, con
tractors and builders, Morgan City,
I.«a, have painted Devoe for 3 or
years. They say it takes less gallons
Devoe than of any other paint they
have used. That means that a Job
costs less with Devoe; not only for
paint, for labor as well.
They paint nothing else, Devoe ex
clusively.
They have said nothing about the
comparative wear of Devoe and
others; oversight, may be; perhaps
too soon for that. But Devoe is the
strongest natot; that’s why leistgal
ions; best wear, same reason. Least
cost and longest time between Jobs

Duel Between Tom Porter ane
Sir Henry Bellaeie.
Some of the royalists who were
forced to endure the English common
wealth seemed to console themselves
for the dullness of life under a Puritan
government by fighting as many duels
as they could compass, so that ignoble
squabbles and foolish plots make up
the history of their days.
Tom Porter was of a family which
had zealously served the king. Under
ike new government his occupation was
gone, and he descended to a triviality
of life which finally Involved him In a
most pathetic event. This was a duel
which he fought with his friend, Sir
Henry Bellasis, and which, says Pepys
in his “Diary,” is worth remembering
for “the silliness of the quarrel, • • • a
kind of emblem of the general com-
plex'on of the whole kingdom.”
But, silly as the quarrel undoubtedly
was, it carried in It an element of heart
break.
The two young men Involved were
intimate friends and companions, but
one day, “being merry In company,
Tom Porter said he should like to see
the man in England who would dare
give him a blow. With that Sir Henry
Bellasis struck him a box on the ear.
The inevitable duel followed, wherein
each was wounded. Sir Henry proved
to be seriously hurt, so he celled Por
ter, kissed and bade him fly.
“For,” said he, “Tom, thon hast hurt
me, but I will make shift to stand upon
my legs till thou mayest withdraw, for
1 would not have thee troubled for
what thou hast done.”
Porter profited by his Mend’s gener
osity and escaped to France. Sir Henry
died a few days later, and Pepya con
cludes, “It is pretty to see how the
world do talk of them as a couple o!
fools that killed one another out of
love.”
Spying on Bargain Gift*.
The engaged girl was found study
iug life In an auction room.
“I don’t expect to buy anything,” she
said, "but I want to see If anybody
know bays anything. A lot of auc
tioueers are advertising that they have
on hand bric-a-brac and pictures anc
odds and ends of furniture suitable
for wedding presents. That set me to
wondering if any of my Mends woult
try to avail themselves of these auc
tlon room bargains when baying pres
ents for me. I saw two girls here this
afternoon who have been Invited to
my wedding. One bought some kint
of a brass howl, another a vase. They
got the things dirt cheap. I fancy they
are for me. If they are—well, just
wait till those girls get married 1”—
