t 'v r i THE GOME AND SEE SIGN RAVENNA RBADINa News Notes end Personals from Our Regular correspondent. Ravenna, May 18—The Children*’ PINE GROVE GOSSIP. This sign Is permanently attached to the front of the main building of the Lydia E. Pmkham Medicine Company, Lynn, Mass. What Does This Sign Mean ? It means that public inspection of the Laboratory and methods of doing business is honestly desired. It means that there is nothing about the bus iness which is not “open and above board.” It means that a permanent invita tion is extended to anyone to come and verify any and all statements made in the advertisements of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Is it a purely vegetable compound made from roots and herbs — with out drugs ? Come and See. Do the women of America continu- ftlly use as much of it as we are told ? Come and See. Was there ever such a person as Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick woman are asked to write ? Come and See. Is the vast private correspondence with sick women conducted by women only, and are the letters kept strictly confidential ? Come and See. Have they really got letters from over one million, one hundred thousand women correspondents V Come and See. Have they proof that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has cured thousands of these women't Come and See. This advertisement is only for doubters. The great army of women who know from their own personal experience that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for female ills will still go on using and being ben efited by it; but the poor doubting, suffering woman must, for her own sake,be taught confidence,forshe also might just as well regain her health. pourishing Sunday School—Other Newsy Notes.

It a w. very clearly. Mis s Rossie Foster, of Asbury, sang a beautiful solo, and many flattering compliments was passed on it. Miss Eva Burgess and Miss Lona Green also rendered a beautiful duet, and also Mr. Mason Bonner sang a beautiful solo which added much to the exercises. The rain came early in the day and although the house was filled, still the threatening condition of the weather k-ept many away. The crow r d was most orderly and a fine dinner was spread at 12:30, after which the congregation returned to the church where some good music was rendered, followed by a strong sermon by Rev. J. W. Guy, pastor of the church. He spoke on the duty of parents carrying their children to Sunday school. Several times during his discourse the congregation was moved to laughter. There were many visitors present and among the prominent ones was Miss Lucy Wood, of The Ledger. Your correspondent was not feeling well and through the courtesy of Mr. T. C- Green he and his wife were driven to and from the church In a carriage, all of which we appreciate very much. Miss Ella Brown used the organ with grace which added much to the exercises. Misses S.

The singing school will come to a close at Antioch next Saturday and we are expecting to have a de lightful time. The.day will be spent mostly in singing. All those who will are invited to come and take part in the singing, but if you don't feel like singing, come any way. There will be dinner on the ground and we hope it will be an enjoyable occasion to each and all. “Sunshine,” you don’t live many miles from Antioch, so be sure and come Saturday. We would be glad to meet you, for we believe you are as bright as your name. Rev. G. P. Hamrick will fill his regular appointment at Antioch next Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Cle Ophas Hambright, of Gro ver, attended the singing at Antioch yesterday afternoon. Sunday was a day of visiting in this section.

S. will not be jealous, and will leave part of the news for you to write. “J. L. S.”, we agree with you as to dancing and strong drinks both hav ing a part in the beheading of John the Baptist,, but we believe strong drink did the greater part. You said “if there had been no dancing in the royal palace that night John the Bap tist would never have been led to the executioner’s guiUotine.” We don’t know about that. We believe Hered ias was determined to have John put to death and if she had not succeeded with her first attempts she would have kept on,until she did succeed. We heard a' good minister say once The week was warmer than usual, with ample sunshine, generally light i winds, and light rainfall. The mean temperature was from two degrees to four degrees above the normal, the greatest departures hav-; ing occurred in the interior. ' The; minimum temperature were unsea- 1 sonably low in the beginning of the week. with gradually increasing warmth until Friday when the maxi- i mum temperatures were in the nine ties over practically the entire State; the last two days were not quite so warm. The temperature extremes: were 95 degrees at Florence on the 15thr and 45 degrees at Dillon on the j 11th. There was no rain until Saturday, when light rains fell in the western ; portion; the rain area extended east-; ward to the coast on Sunday, in the form of scattered showers and thum | der-storms in all parts of the State though many localities received no rain. The week’s rain fell generally: after the reports from correspondents 1 had been mailed, and the Indicated general need of rain has been par tially relieved. The percentage of cloudiness was very small during the first five days, but the last two days were generally cloudy in the central and western por tions, and partly cloudy In the east ern portion. Largest Grave In the World. The largest single grave In the world occupies just exactly one acre of ground, which is surrounded by an iron railing. This enormous grave is located at Pearto Cortez, in Honduras, and is the burial place of a woman. The tombstone occupies the center of the ground inclosed, and several wood en figures representing the deceased are arranged in statuelike form In dif ferent parts of the ground. There are no fewer than sixteen of these fig ures, which in the evening give the place a ghostlike appearance. The de ceased had died rich and in her will had specified the amount of ground to be purchased for her grave and the manner in which it should be deco rated. She had many curious notions, and the size and ornamentation of her grave was one of them. FINAL DISCHARGE. Notice is hereby given that I will apply to Hon. J. E.

Although we do not advise anybody to follow going to dances, for it very often leads to harm. It would cause us to neglect doing many of our dut ies. it would gradually draw our minds from our church and Sunday ! school work and if we made a regu- I lap practice of dancing we might get i to the place where we would not think of anything but dancing.
