Almost every one who ventured out had a fall, and the sight of the most staid and dignified citizens measuring their length on the Ice was a great source of amusement to the smoll boys who thought the freeze great fan. Fortunately none of the falls resulted in any serious hurts. -The State of Friday publishes the account of a meeting of the Press Association committee whioh was held in Columbia on Thursday evening. The annual exenrsion was discussed, and various places were suggested, one of the proposed places being Caba, but as the trip is made in summer, yellow jever will prevent that being chosen. Niagara Falls was also spoken of, but the matter was left to a com mittee to decide. -The freeze .that we have had for the past few days, while making everything beautiful to look at, has proved disastrous to some of the trees, the weight of the ice having broken off boughs, and the telephone wires have also suffered. On Friday no telephone esnnection could be made with Rockton, and the wire connecting the frctory with town, as well as several other wires were down, causing considerable inconvenience.

Catarrh is a blood or constitu iional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Ii1al Cata.rh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prp cribed by one of the best physic-ans 1 in this country for years, and is a regular prescription. It is composed I of th:: best tonics known, combined wit!i the best blood puifiers, acting direcly on the mucuons surfaces. The perfect combiartion of the two inore dlents is what produces such wonaer- i ful resnlis in curing Catarrh. Sand for testimonials, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Props., Toledo, 0.
