r i RAVENNA READINGS. RETIRED RUSINESS MAN FAVORS NEW THEORY E. H. Lambert, of Everett, Massachusetts, Believes Stomach the Seat of Life. One of (he most interesting state ments made recently concerning the much discussed Cooper theory, that lias spread over the country during the past year, is made by E. H. Lambert, a retired business man, whose home is at lir. Francis Street, Everett, Mass. Mr. Lambert has this to say in con nection with Cooper and his medi cines: “Some time ago I read an ar- ti h; about this man Cooper, in which he claimed that stomach trouble was dire' !> responsible for most ill health, lie ‘ 'tit on to say that, although bis tie d l ine did nothing but get the stom- t. h in sound condition, it would, in man . cases, remove kidney and liver 11on:ile ami various other ailments. He a 'tied from this that the stomach was 'lie main cause of sickness, and s-,.: d that the success he lias had v th his medicines was due entirely to this fact. ' 1 am now fully convinced that this theory is correct, and believe Cooper has a really remarkable medicine, judging from my own experience. “1 have been a eick man for five years. Three years ago i was told by a physician that 1 had Bright’s dis ease of the kidneys, i have treated constantly for this trouble since, with out results. After reading the article I have mentioned, I purchased some of this man Cooper’s medicine. I have been astounded by what it has done for me. I was relieved to some extent within 21 hours. Today my health is better than for five years, and .so far as 1 can tell, my kidney trouble has disappeared. “My wife, who had stomach trouble for some time, tried the preparation after noting its action in my case, and her improvement is fully as mark ed as mine. She now f eats heartily throe times a day without any distress whatsoever. Her nervousness has also left her. I certainly believe this man’s success is fully justified, as he un doubtedly has a wonderful medicine.’’ M'e will gladly describe the remark able record made by the Cooper medi cines to all who wish to know of them. —Gaffney Drug Co, r Valuable Town and VC 4 \ 4 \ Farm Lands For Sale On Monday, Dec. 2nd, WE WILL OFFER- At Public Outcry 11* I* )]•( the < ’ourt 1 louse door a t < biffney, immediately after the x ih- of the '•<>u my officers, valuable town and farm lands.

The pupils of the Asbury school are preparing for a school onu rtain- m* nt just before Christmas. Misses Ella Brown, Carrie Goforth and Mrs. .1. M. Lipscomb pre sented the Misses Poole, of Paco- let, with a large supply of household goods last Wednesday. We did not learn just the amount of the collect ions Miss Ella made, but from our own observation, we think a good contribution was given. Deputy Sheriff Lockhart passed through here last Saturday on his re turn from Union where he captured Clough Dowdle, a rough looking ne gro. Mr. M. W. Littlejohn was a Gouch- op visitor last Thursday. The young lady who had her bon net eaten by a grass hopper, has de cided to have another one made as the damage to the one she was wear ing was too great for repairing. Our rural carrier, Mr. Sam Clary, informs your correspondent that there is talk of continuing R. F. D. 4 out as far as M. W. Brown’s store. This change will give about eight good families the privilege of another daily mail. We hope this change will be made, for several good Ledger subscribers could then get their papers one day earlier, and only cause Mr. Clary about fifteen minutes delay to his already good There has been several in R. F.

Mr. Cameron Littlejohn, our rural i carrier from Pacolet, is another good I carrier and he has a good set of I patrons around here who always watch eagerly for his arrival each day. Mr. R. D. Kitchens, of Pacolet, spent a few hours in town last Thurs day. Ebbie Smith, of Goucher. says he received a package of ice from Lun- drum last week. From this Landrum must he a cold place. Wilkes Brown, our wide-awake merchant, has purchased another horse. Mr. R. W Spake, who planted most of his corn crop on the Williamston plan, says he has made more corn this season than ever before. All the farmers around here who tried the Williamston corn method, speaks in high praise > f the yield. Mr. J. B. Brown, one of our good make-everything-at-bome farmers, has five very fine hogs which will average 400 pounds a piece. Mr. Brown says it tabes com to raise good hogs and we believe he is right. Mr. K. R. Goforth, who beats all the farmers here raising sweet pota toes, has Just finished gathering a large crop of them. We inspected i ome of them and found many as large as a gallon bucket. Mr. “Kans,” as he is called, certainly has enough potatoes for his family use, with plenty to sell. J. R. Wilkins, our champion onion raiser, has Just finished gathering a nice lot of onions. M. M.

We were glad to see J. H. Goforth, of Goucher. in town last Friday eve ning. “School Boy’’ has our best wishes in the kindly reference to our articles.! Yes. “School Boy,’’ I am afraid you made the young lady mad about her bonnet. We came very near having to account for the joke, but, “School Boy,” we appreciate your welcome letters and we' are also eager to hear from “W. R. L.” again, so, Mr. Lip scomb, continue your interesting let ters for us Ledger readers. Our good friend, “J. L. S., ’ we are glad to say, continues nis interesting ,iitides regularly fo r The Ledger. The advance in the price of The Ledger should add many new sub- scribers to the paper. If all its read ers appreciated the sermons of Dr. Talmage like we do, then they could not object to the raised price, while the editorials are always eagerly read and are worth many times the price of the paper. We congratulate our editor on getting out such a nice, clean paper, and in our opinion, the best semi-weekly in the south. Miss Leila Mathis, who has been attending the Spartanburg high school at Landrum, has returned to her home here where she is very sick. J. A. Goforth and W. B. Brown, of Landrum, spent last Sunday in this section of Cherokee. These gents crossed over Goucher Sunday night and paid their sweethearts a pleasant surprise.

Green, has been appointed school trustee for district No. 16. Your correspondent and his big hearted friend, Floyd Goforth, after careful study of the clouds, and be lieving a pretty night was certain, went down on the cold waters of Pacolet last Sunday night and had a “warm time.” Your scribe was anxious to get some dots and actually our hands got s 0 cold we had to hover over a big lamp to keep warm. But it is always cold near waterways during our winter months, and all not believing this should try it for them selves—but we don’t care about the “othe r boys" taking our place—and we mean this. Mrs. K. R. Goforth has returned from a visit to Landrum. Miss Addle Brown and cousin, Lloyd Goforth, attended religious services at Pacolet last Sunday night. We are afraid we have made this letter too long, but everybody wants their news in The Ledger and we can’t blame them. Owing to the high water last Satur day, Mr Sam Clary did not make his appearance with the mail, although he had ours transferred and we got It late Saturday afternoon. Capt. J. B. Brown and Mr. T. G. Chalk both made good temperance speeches In our Sunday school last Sunday. ’Squire T. C. Green, our good superintendent, also made a good speech in a few well chosen words, and v.e had one of the best Sunday schools we have had in quite a while. With best wishes for the editor and his family of printers for big Thanksgiving dinner and many hap py returns. C.

These hamors get into tha blood, generally because of an inactive or slnggish —edition of the members of the body who— dutv it is to collect and carry •tf the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is le^ la—or and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the acid poison. The blood begins to throw oil the humors and acids through the noses and glands of the skin, producing Bcxema, Acne, Tetter, Pboriasin, Bntft Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds.
