A Try porting how faithful our Baraca class were to comply with the wishes of their teacher, for last Friday, the day set to plant out the flower garden at Goucher, not a single Baraca was present. We are one of the class, but had already made arrangements for the date fixed, and thereby could not attend. Boys, you might imagine how sad this makes us feel, and our teacher, too, does not like to see her ! class so unreliable. Revs. R. L., T.

All ihe services were good and large crowds attended every night, hut sorry to say. small crowds attended during the day, excepting Sunday, when a full house greeted the preachers. Your correspondent was not feeling well Sunday 'and did not attend the day services, although he attended the last service—Sunday night. All the sermons were good, and though no conversions were record ed, much good seems to have been done. The music added much to the services, and the preachers and Miss Maness were gladly received by the good Asbury people. We were asked to report the services for The Ledger, but as The Ledger already has a cor respondent at Asbury, we leave the write-up for him. and hope to see an appropriate report of the meeting.

Tiner last Friday was a shock to our community. Our rural carrier, Mr. Cameron Littlejohn, from Pacolet, was an eye witness to the shooting. Mr. Kirby died early Sat urday morning and his relatives and friends have our sympathy. His sis- iter. Mrs. E. M. Green, is well known here and the shooting is regretted by all. Mr. Sidney Tiner, who did the shooting, was a candidate for the legislature from Spartanburg county, and as he was a quiet and peaceable gentleman, he has many sympathizers around here. Mr. Kirby was buried up at the station Saturday afternoon, where a big crowd witnessed the in terment. Miss Sallie Chalk ( poned her school Monday morning, but as only six were present she dismissed until Tuesday morning, when she had nine scholars. Miss Addle Brown opened her school at Goucher Monday morning, at which time an election was held for an assistant teacher.

Mrs. Helen Harmon, of Pacolet, visited her brother. Mr. Richard Raines, of Asbury, a few days last week. She was accompanied by her son-in-law, Mr. Cofa Threadgill, also of Pacolet. Mrs. Ed. Cook, of Pacolet, visited Mr. and Mrs. Richard Baines during the Asbury services.

Adam John, of Asbury, attended re ligious services at Pacolet Monday night. Maness brothers ended their star about here Mondav night, preaching good sermons at Pacolet Mills.

C.—The Aetna cotton mills has been sold at private sale to James E. Mitchell & Co., a commis sion house of Philadelphia, Pa., a creditor, for the sum of about $200,- 000. This action was taken after two efforts had been made to have a pub lic sale, both of which had failed, and it being deemed best for all in terested to accept the offer made by Mr. Mitchell and close up the deal, so tli^f the property might resume oper ation. Neither Trustee Alfred Moore nor Referee .1. H.

FORT, - Gaffney, S. C. Newsy Notes and Personala From Our Regular Correspondent. Ravenna, Nov. 25.—Mr. D. Both Hughes, while out in his lot last week raking up manure, dug up a solid iron plate weighing two and one-fourth pounds. It is treasured I very highly by the owner. Mr. Jesse | Mabry, who saw the old relic and i who is himself ninety-one years old, says it is the first iron plate he ever |saw; and as Col. Tarleton marched ! his army by the place where the re- : lie was found, he thinks some of his ' men either lost it or threw it away. ' It is thought the plate might have borne some inscription, but as rust had eaten it somewhat, all ways of finding out were given up. The plate m ; is a curiosity and Mr. Hughes, the ■ proud owner, values it very highly.

Although Indigestion and Dyspep sia are so prevalent, most people do not thoroughly understand their cause and cure. There is no reason why peonle should not eat anything they desire—if they will only chew it carefully and thoroughly. Many actually starve themselves into sick ness through fear of eating every good-looking, good-smelling and good tasting food, because it does not agree with them. Dieting cannot cure Dyspepsia. If we refuse every article of food that disagrees with us, before long we have nothing left, and find ourselves chronic dyspeptics. We can cure Dyspepsia. We are so confident of this fact that we guarantee a cure, and promise to sup ply the medicine free of all cost to everyone who will use it. who is not perfectly satisfied with the results which it produces. We exact no promises, and put no one under any obligation whatever. Surely, nothing could be fairer. We are located right here in Gaffney, and our reputation should he sufficient assurance of the genuineness of our offer. We want everyone in Gaffney who is troubled with Indigestion or Dys pepsia jn any form to come to our store and get a box of Rexall Dyspep sia Tablets. Take them home and give them a reasonable trial, accord ing to directions. They are very pleasant to take; they soothe the irritable stomach, strengthen and in vigorate the digestive organs, pro mote a healthy and natural bowel action, immediately relieve nausea and all stomach irritation, produce perfect and healthy digestion and as similation. and promote nutrition. A 2.'.c package of Rexall Dyspepsia I Tablets furnishes 15 davs’ treatment. In ordinary cases, this is sufficient to produce a cure. In more chronic cases, a longer treatment, of course, is necessary, and depends upon the severity of the trouble. For such cases, we have two larger sizes which sell for 45c and 89c.
