Resolvod, That a copy of those reso lutions be published In tho county pa pers. W. P. Patterson, M. Flemxno, Committee. In Remembrance. Nathan L. Wallace ?*as born at Wal lace Lodge, Laurens County, S. C., on the Oth day of July, 1847, and died at his home, near Ora, April 0th, 1890. On the 19th day of July, 1874, he was mar ried to Miss Mary Nabors, who, with two Sons, survives him. When N. L. Wallace died Laurens Oonnty lost a good, free and upright citizen; his friends around him a kind.' thoughtful obliging neighbor; his fami ly a devoted husband and affectionate father. He lived the years of his life in peace and honor, holding fast t o truth and right,?never swerving from the path of rectitude. lie possessed qualities of mind and heart, which, in their development and combination, "gave the world assurance of' a man",?of a man of firmness and courage, of a strong and robust character. Quiet and unuomun?S,r?.f.ive in his natnre, he took up the duties of life patiently and bravelv and discharged them faithfully. Devotion to his friends, fidelity to truth, and a firm adherence to principles of fairness and honesty were promi nent traits of his character. He attend ed strictly to his own business, and stud iously avoided all Intermeddling with the affairs of others. No man is more worthy of the love and confidence of his fellows than he, whose life adjusted In perfect harmony with dviino law, "Do unto others as you would have them, do onto yon." No richer legacy can a man bequeath his children, than a name which stands as a synonym for honesty and integrity; a name he has kept un tarnished through all the years of his life. Such a legacy has N. L. Wallace left to his children. May the God of all truth and love guide them, and keep them, and save them. Wo give to the family of our dead friend out-tenderest sympathy, and pray that they may all be gathered at last, an unbroken circle, into the upper and bet ter world. 0.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of tho mucous lining of tho Euslach ian Tube. Wneu this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearingrand when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can bo taken out and this tubo re stored to its normal condition,bear ing will bo destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten aro caused by ca tarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the raucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Sond for circulars, free. P. J. CHENEY & Co , Toledo, O.

Yes, "Prophylactic" is a peculiar word, and hard to remember, but It Is a Splendid Name for a Tooth* brush, because you use a tooth brush to prevent your teeth from decaying, and Prophylactic means a "preventive of disease." With every brush comes a neat little hook secured to the brush, and there is a hole in the end of the handle which enables you to hang It up. The head will not touch the wall. Ask your dentist about the "Prophylactic Tooth-brush," and see If he will not recommend it. The Price Is 35 cents at THE Laurens Drug Co., Near Post-Office. Mighty Sensible Talk.
