WaT ! nut St., Columbus, Ohio, writes^ “Having had catarrh and stomach trouble and having suffered very much, I, after being doctored a long while, as a last resort took Peruna. The result was wonderful. I would highly recommend it as a good rem edy. I still use Peruna and would not be without it. I always have it in the house.” Catarrh and Stomach Trouble. Mrs. T. Prech, R. R. No. 1, Hickory Point, Tenn., writes: “I am happy to tell you that I am cured ©Aoatarrh. I have followed your good and kind advice faithfully. I bless the day when I wrote you of my condition, and I will always praise Peruna. I think it is one of the grandest medicines on earth. “Having been afflicted with catarrh and stomach trouble tor seven years and after having tried four different doctors they only relieved me for a little while. I gave up all hope of being cured. I only weighed 130 pounds, and was so weak I could hardly get around the room. “I was Induced to try Peruna, and to my great surprise I am now entirely well. My weight is now 188 pounds, my health never was better in my life. “I shall always praise Dr. Hartman and his remedies.” Thousands of families have learned the use of Peruna and its value in the treatment of catarrhal ailments. Tired, Worn-Out Mothers. Mrs. Lydia H. Josselyn, 801 Westminster St., Providence* R. I. f is Treasurer of the Editors League of Rhode Island, char* tered in Providence. She writes: “My experience with Peruna has been most gratifying. Last winter I contracted a severe cold, and for several days I coughed until my voice tailed me. When other remedies did me no good, I decided to try Peruna, and within four days the cold was broken up, and the cough abated. “Within another week an increase in my usual strength and vitality told me that Peruna was doing all that It prom* Ised, and more. I also considerit very su perior tor tired, worn-out mothers, and have advised several to try it, and have seen most gratifying results froir its uae. “I give it highest praise.” Bowel Trouble. Mrs. Maggie Durbin, 1.332 North St., Little Rock, Ark., writes: “I was troubled for live years with a chronic disease. I tried everything I heard of, but nothing did me any'good. Some doctors said my trouble was ca tarrh ot the bowels, and some said con sumption of the bowels. “Ono doctor said he could cure me. I took his medicine two months. But it did me no good. “A friend of mine advised me to try Peruna and I did so. After I had taken two bottles I found it was helping me, so I continued its use, and it has cured me sound and well. “i can recommend P; rnna to any one, and if a.iy one wants to know what Pe runa did f‘>r me if they will write to me I will ans\y>r promptly.” Peruna if a honsohnld remedy of great merit, and is useful in many climatic tail mm m+M Mrs.LenaR.Moudy l| Miss Bessie B Farrell Biliousness, Indigestion. Mrs. Lena R. Moudy, 656 Caywood St., Portland, Oregon, Sec’y Royal Tribe of Joseph, writes: “For the past six years biliousness and pains in my back and limbs made life miserable to me. My skin was sallow and dry, and indigestion was added to my troubles. 1 was wake ful at night and would get a weak, faint feeling during the day so that I was not fitted to attend to my reg ular duties. This caused me serious annoyance and trouble, and I nat urally tried many remedies, hoping to get relief. ‘•Peruna came as a friend In need. It toned up the system, relieved the blood of the poisons and induced a healthy action of the stomach, a fine appetite and restful sleep. ‘‘Within three months I was a changed person,and for nearly a year . now I have enjoyed splendid health.’' ^ A Graceful Putiunt. Mrs.Eliza J.L’azec, R.F. D.8. Bedford, Ind.. writ'-’: *•! have been cured by ailments, such as conyhs, cob’s, sore throat, bronchitis and catarrhal diseases ' u-intr Peruna and >■ uialin generally. i for your advice.” Bilious Headache. Mrs. Emily Kellogg, 6649 8. Lawrence St., Sonth Tacoma, Wash., member of Ladles of the Maccabees, writes: “Three months ago I had an attack ot bMoasneaa which threatened to undermine my health and strength. Luckily for me, I tried Pern- na at the suggestion of my friends before It was too late. “I found in a few days time that I did not have the usual sick headache, neith er did food nanseate me any longer. In two weeks’ time Peruna had completely rid my system ot the poison and bile, and 1 was in a much better condition. My skin assnmed its normal color, I had a splendid appetite, and I was in every way improved in health. I used Peruna for a month longer, and it wrought a wondrous change in my entire system. I consider it a most wonderful medicine. ” Nervous Dyspepsia. Mrs. J. C. Jamison, 61 March&nt St., Watsonville, Cal., writes: “I was troubled with cramps in the stomach for six years. I tried m.,ny kinds of medicine, also was treated by three doctor*. They said that I had nervous dyspepsia. I was put on a liquid diet for three months. I im proved under the treatment, but as soon j as I stopped taking the medicine, I got ; bad again. I took the medicine for two years, then I got sick again and gave up all hopes of getting cured. “I saw a testimonial of a man whose case was simi.'ir to inhie being cured by Peruna, so I thought T would give it a trial. I procured a bottle at once and commenced taking it. I nave taken nineteen bottles an.-’ am entirely cured. mrs Joseph Vittur Restorer of Lost Strength. Miss Bessie Farrell, 1011 Third Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., is President of the Young People’s Christian Temperance Association. She writes: “Peruna is certainly a valuable nerve and blood remedy, calculated to build up the broken-down health of worn-out women. 1 have found by personal experience that it acts as a wonderful restorer of lost strength, assisting the stomach to assimilate and digest the food, and building up worn-out tissues In my work 1 have had occasion to recor.imcrd it fre quently, especially to sick women. “I know of nothing which is better to build up the streng'h of a young mother,in fact all the ailments pecul- . iar to women, so I r.:n pler.-.-d to give ? r it my hearty endorsement.” i Pe-ru-na a Woman’s Friend.

Draytonville, Feb. 9.—We are hav ing some very changeable weather— from pleasant to rain and snow—and there is a great deal of sickness caus ed by the changes. We had some very pretty weather la^i Week and the farmers were plowing just like it was spring. The weather at this writing is very rough, as the wind is blowing briskly. The county chaingang has been working the roads in this section and we trust that with the large force of hands it had, we will have given us good roads. It seems that the coun ty of Chtrrkee Is behind other coun ties in the matter of good roads. We were listening to two gentlemen ar guing on the question of good roads recently. The conversation came about this way: One of the men was a merchant and he was trying to sell a wagon to the other man. We walk ed up and began to examine the wagon and we said, "This wagon was made for a rough country,” and the man that was wanting to buy replied, “Yes, and it was made for a good smooth country.” The merchant and the farmer began to argue which was the best method of making a good, easy-pulling road. The farmer said that a good dirt road was better than any other kind. The merchant said that a road built of goo rock, well put in the ground, was the best and cheapest to make a public road. He said that "you put your money In creeks and gullies when you put it into dirt roads.” We agree with the merchant, but do not let the rocks be as large as your head, which will al most jolt the breath out of you when riding over the road. May the time soon come when our country can have good roads for its many sterling farmers and its neighboring county citizens to travel over. We were very much shocked last Wednesday afternoon as we were coming home from school, to learn that our good friend, Mr. Forest Hug gins, and also one of Cherokee coun ty’s best R. F. D. carriers, was lying very low with that old disease, appen dicitis. Mr. Huggins was taken ill on his route Tuesday afternoon and was forced to give up his work; and Mr. Charley Spencer finished making the trip. Mr. Huggins was carried to Gaffney by his father where he under went an operation. It was just ex actly one year ago since he was taken with the same disease. He was rest ing finely ifbe last time we heard from him and we hope that he will have a very short illness, and that he may join his band of R. F. D. carriers who wish for him a speedy recovery. Mr. Paul McKown is carrying the mall during his illness. From the amount of visiting Sun day it seems that it was a day for neighborhood calling. This is one thing that we believe the people ig nore when it should not he. "Love thy neighbor,” and when he is in dis tress, lend him a helping bawd, if it is in your power to do so. We regret to say that our good friend, Mrs. W. N. Rains, Is very ill at this writing. Mrs. Rains is the wife of our good ffiend, Mr. Newton Rains, an old veteran of 1865. He draws a small pension and we think that he ought to draw the pensions of some of these soldiers who are healthy and able to work, and who throw their pension money away for the damnable drink called whiskey. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Parker spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. R. M, Mason. Mr Grover Patterson, a young gen tleman of Globe Mill, was a visitor in our Sunday school Sunday. Mr. D. C. Phillips is sawing this week while the ground is too wet to plow. Mr. Stanley Wilson, who has been attending school at the Gaffney Cen tral graded school, has gone to work on ’the farm. He says he will farm this year, and if nothing happens, it will be his last year to pull the bell cord over Mollie. Miss Nettie Marsh spent Sunday with her friend, Miss Sallie Mason. While we were in town Monday we had the pleasure of meeting our friend, Mr. E. J. Bailey, of North Caro lina. He is as gay as ever, and he in vited us to come up to see nim; which invitation we, with much ap preciation, accepted. Mr. E. S. McKown, superintendept of education, was in this section Mon day visiting the schools. We met our old friend, Mr. James Brown, tyi Gaffney Monday, and we were sorry to nofte that he was not looking as well as usual. We were soon informed what was his trobule. Mr. Hamp Pridmore said that "Bud” Wilson came around that day and Jim told “Bud” to get a pack of pea nuts and they would eat them. “Bud” told him (o give him the money and he would gefi the them. Jim hated to refuse, so he gave the money and "Bud” went and got the peanuts. They ate them and we suppose "Bud” ate more than half and Jim could not stand that, hence he was crying about it. We were so informed by Mr. Hamp Pridmore, and we guess this is £rue. Miss Bertha Pennintgon spent last Saturday night with her friend, Miss Carrie Parker, and Miss Carrie paid the visit back Sunday. Rev. E. G. Ross, of Greer, will fill his appointment at this place next third Saturday afternoon at 2:80 o’clock, and Sunday morning at 11 o’clock, of this month. The members are requested to he present at the Saturday service as there will be some important business attended to in conference. Mr. T. C. Petty, of Gaffney, was in this section Tuesday on business. "Blue Bird,” we hope yon will ap pear again soon and give us the news from your thriving section. “C.,” hold fast to what you’ve got and we will stick to yon, as we think your ideas about the Farmers’ Union are O. K. Mr. and Mrs. W. 8. Wilson spent Sunday afternoon with Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Rains. We would like for some one to give us the correct answer to this problem: What number added to five times itself equals twelve? There was a large crowd out at prayaMuaeting last night and a good service was rendered by the conductor. We learn that our good friend, Mr. A. D. Driskill, is speaking of running for the office of coroner in the next election. “Ai,” as he is commonly called, says that he is going to give the present coroner a tight race, pro viding he is in the race. We hope that he (Mr. Driskill) will he success ful in his undertaking, and we assure him that we will assist him in any way we can. Mr. J. P. Holbert, of Tennessee, was in this section taking orders for the Tennessee Nursery Company. We had the pleasure of having a good little chat with him, and we certainly enjoyed it. We wish him much suc cess ir. his work. ft is raining at this writing (Tues day) and the plows will be stopped for some little time. School Boy. THEY INJURE CHILDREN. Ordinary Carthartics and Pills and Harsh Physic Causes Distressing Complaints. You cannot be over-careful m tnr. selection of medicine for children. Only the very gentlest bowel medi cine should ever be given. Ordinary pills, cathartics and purgatives are too apt to do more harm than good. They cause griping, nausea and other dis tressing after-effects that are fre quently health destroying and a life- lasting annoyance. We personally recommend and guarantee Rexall Orderlies as the safest and most dependable remeay for constipation and associate bowel disorders. We have such absolute fatih in the supreme virtues of this remedy that we sell it on our guaran tee of money back in every instance where it fails to give entire satisfact ion, and we urge all in need of such medicine to try it at our risk. Rexall Orderlies contain an entirely new ingredient which is odorless, tasteless and colorless. It embraces all the best qualities of the soothing, laxative strengthening and healing re medial active principles of the best known Intestinal regulator tonics. Rexall Orderlies are extremely pleasant to take, are particularly prompt and agreeable in art ion, may be taken at any time, day or bight; do not cause diarrhoea, nausea, grip ing, excessive looseness, or other un desirable effects. They have a very natural action upon the glands and organs with which they come in con tact, ast as a positive and regulative tonic upon the relax, dry muscular coat of the bowels, remove irritation, dryness and soreness, overcome weak ness, and tone and strengthen the nerves and muscles, and restore the bowels and associate oragns to more vigorous and healthy activity. Rexall Orderlies not only cure con stipation, but they remove the cause of this ailment They also overcome the necessity of constantly Jaklng lax atives to keep the bowels in normal condition. There is really no similar medicine so good as Rexall Orderlies, especially for children, aged and delicate per sons. They are prepared in tablet form and in two slses of packages; 12 tables, 10c, and Sf tablets, Va. Tbs Gaffney Drug Co* Gaffney, 8. C. Juror Drops Dead in Court. Yorkvllle, Feb. 9.—Quite a sensation was created in the court house yester day morning. Mr. J. C. Hill, a sub- rtantial farmer and citizen of Bul lock’s Creek township, who was a juror at this term of court, walked into the room an4 in a few minutes after sitting down he fell over into the arms of a friend and expired before a physician could reach him. Heart failure was said to be the cause of his death. He lived at the Roseboro place, twelve miles from Chester, was fifty years old and leaves a widow and several children, two of them grown. Washington Once Gave Up to three doctors; was kept in bed for five weeks. Blood poison from a spid er’s bite caused large, deep sores to cover his leg.
