Dec. 5.—Allow me to write a word of appreciation of a good man who has gone to his reward. It was with deep sorrow that we heard of the death of Prof. W. F. McArthur. One of the last things he said to us on leaving for China was ♦ hat one of us was to write a letter to him from China. Alas, we had hardly arrived when he had been called over the river. My first meet ing with him was many years ago when he was at the head of that fine school which he. more than any other, built in Gaffney. The school was still in a small house which has since been removed. There was a small and poorly dressed boy. with coun try marked all over him. who had been teaching a little school over at Midway. By the way, this same hoy was and eve r has been deeply in debted to a noble Methodist lady, Mrs. Ann Waters, who took him in ♦ he days of his need, and helped him on. This boy walked from Mrs. Waters’ place night and morning to attend the school in Gaffney for a time. From that time on the char acter and good heart of Prof. McAr thur has been impressed on his life. One of the pillars of the town, the county, and one of the best citizens in the State has passed. Every boy and girl in Cherokee had a true friend in him. and every one must thank God that such a man lived among them. From China, we send our deep est sympathy to the bereaved family- W. E.

We arrived in Shanghai Novem- her 9th. and found ourselves in Chinkiang November 10th. What changes have taken place since we were here ove r a year ago. A few days after our arrival I had a ride on our new train, the equal of any train on earth! New houses are go ing up. and things are moving in the old land. One of the best things was the greetings ef my Chinese breth- r o n. What Jcy it b ,, ''vght to me to see th°ir faces, and to see that they had held on true in mv long absence. New wf , k is opening up. and in one country station tlure are now over f^riy names given o' enquirers, ami there are many others in other olaces. Dr Willingham is making a trip around the world visiting the mis sions. and he was about due here, so f said to one of the Chinese, a young •i"< ach'w. “ Wi’i you go out to the station in the country and ask the country Christians to come in and meet Dr. Wl’Iinghair.? He willingly agree,] to go. The weather was very had. and it had been raining for a Uiug time, amj the paths they nick name roads, were in a fearful condi- :i. Mr. Li Jmd thr u days to make 1 a trip of about sixty miles, on a don- ley. through the mud. I call you to witness if it does not deserve notice. Cat a man could start out through execeedingl.- rough country, on a lit- ♦ !•■ donkey, with such poor comforts, and stick it through to the end. Mr. Li had made the rounds, and had started hack home. Seven of the cmintry Christians started back with him. walking through cold, mud and min. At a place about twenty miles from Chinkiang the seven men took to the new railroad track, and walked on that, but Mr. Li stuck to his littie steed. Night was coming on, the roads in a fearful state, overflowed in some places. Darkness settled down, a lantern could not be lit on account of the rain, and the wind, a side track had to he taken along the foot of the hill, but Mr. Li would not give in. The donkey fell down in the mud, the man who was following to attend the donkey, begged to stop and spend the night, said his foot wag sore, said it wa s impossible to go on. Covered with mud. soaked with rain, bewilder ed in murky darkness on a roadless road, still Mr. Li pressed on. for to morrow was the Sabbath, and he was expected back! How the little ani mal picked big way along, the silent figure of the man behind following as best he could. ho w long it seemed till the lights of Chinkiang began tc twinkle in the distance* There was no bright cosy fire at the end of the journey to make him forget, or to dry his clothes. This brave man, only a few years ago a heathen, press ed his way through well nigh impos sible difficulties to perform what he considered his duty! Talk of the ride of Paul RtvWBl B» war, * good horse, and glory all around him. The modest little man did not say much about It tmt he had per formed a heroic deed for Jesus’ sake. I Dr. Willingham, In his world travels. 1 met these seven country men and looked into their faces, and loved them and won their love. They had walk ed about twenty-five miles through rain and mud to hear Dr. Willing ham. His visit was a great blessing to them and to all of us. I will finish with the story of anoth er trip. We had been out five days. We started home, coming through the, hillg on our spring wheelbarrow, and ! what glorious beauty of hill and val ley! The weather was fine qpd there was no hardship about that kind of travel for us. We had had a glorious 1 reception everywhere in the country. Why. Mr. Feng had one of his fine! "Red Rock” chickens (they do not, call them that) killed for our benefit.) Nowhere would they let us pay for, anything. We arrived in the little town twen-' tv miles from Chinkiang, and went | to a dirty Chinese inn. We arrived | about five, and expected to have a miserable night, and a whole day** travel next day to get home. Some one came and said. “The fire wheel cart has jnst come.” Mr. Li and I rushed off down to the railroad, and there was a construction engine with one dirt car. The road is not open there yet. I saw the engineer and ashed him if we could go to Chinkiang with him. He took us up, I on the engine, and MY. U on the car. In half an hoqy we were in Chinkiang. and what a thrill to feel the good American engine respond to the touch and leap forward, devouring v track! W. B. Crocker.

MAKES LIFE MISERABLE- Troubles That Keep Half the Gaffney Doctors Busy. Half the prescriptions the Gaffney doctors write are for troubles that result directly from a weakened stomach. Strengthen the stomach muscles, increase the secretiftn of gastic Juices, and you will find that common afflictions—indigestion, with its headaches, dizziness, depression of spirits, spots before the eyes nerv ousness, sleeplesness and general do- billty—bave been overcome. From now on build up the strength and health of the stomach with Ml- o-na tables. You will soon find your self strong and never know the mean ing of indigestion. If Ml-o-na did not have an unusually curative* effect in stomach disorders. It could not be sold on the guarantee given by the Gaffney Drug Co. to refund the money unless it does all that Is claimed for it. The Gaffney Drug Co. gives an absolute, unqualified guarantee with every 50-cent box of Ml-o-na that the money will be refunded unless the medicine cures. They take the whole risk, and you certainly can afford to get Ml-o-na from them on this plan. It Does the Business. Mr. E. E. Chamberlain, of Clinton, Maine, says of Bueklen’s Arnica Salve. ’Tt doee the business; I have used it for pilea and it cured them. Used It for chapped hands and It cured them.
