Tho Advertiser Has Again Put in Fine New Machinery. TnK Advertiser Job Olllce now has two first class job presses besldos a splendid cyllinder press which is un surpassed for ffne work anywhere in this part of the state. The Advertiser clslms to do as good job worK as any olllce In South Carolina, Charlo.-ton, Columbia, etc., not excepted. The Advertiser's prices are dis tinctively lower than those that prevail in Charleston and Oolumb'a. It may be that thero are printers that do work for less but thero is nono that does good work wi'h white labor for less and makes a living. The Remedy Simple. People who arc getting Advertisers for which they do not expect to pay have only to refuse to take them from post office. Now and then a man takes a pa per from a post office for a year or years and then comes in and declares that he has never subscribed. No man can be compelled to take a newspaper which ho does not want. It Is the duty of post masters to Inform the newspa per- whon the addressee refuses it. The Advetisbrr wants no subscribers who do not want Tub Adaertiser. The Grain Crop. Favorable report s come from the grain crop in Laurens.

Sara ('heck and Mrs. Mary West of Princeton. At the last meeting < ' the Wona 'a Aid and Missionary Society of Princeton Baptist Church, a committee of three was appointed and requested to write resolutions expressive of the lovo and respect for the memory of our Sifters, Mrs. Stra Cheek md Mm. Mary West, both of whom have recently anfaweied the call to "come up higher." Doath is continually coming to mar our pleasures and tako from us those we love best. On December 30th, after a long ami painful illness borne with almost un eqnaled Christian courage, Sister Sara Cheek sweetly fell asleep. Sli3 was a quiet,-gentlo creature?-sanguine in tem perament, faithful in duty, devoted to friend*, she became an inspiration to all who touched her bo.v.itiful lifo, and we all loved her for the many Christian graces she pessessed. She being the first of our number to ba called hence, we keenly feel the sep aration her death being to each of us a personal loss. But we do not sorrow as those without hope, for we know she is "eafe in the arms of Jesus." Again, ore the grave had closed over this loved form, and whilo our Iipuhb were still aching, tho R-sapor again np Keared and claimed another of r ue mein er?, our brightest jawel, Sister Mary Wo.-t, who died, January 23th, at Pelzar at the home of her children, Mr. and Mrs. Jaraea Woodside. We realize that sister West was no ordinary woman . Her life was as transparent as crystal, and bore unconclounly tho rays ol tun light in her every day life. In her were concentrated all those rich c'ustors of pnre excellencies which beautifully adapted her to the variety of calls made on her time and ability an wife, mother and ohristian. At a time when our work dwindled to almost nothing, and somo lets strong and hopeful than sho were disposed to discontinue the Society, sho seemed to go out of self, evincing the deepest solicitude for the work she loved eo well. By her prayers, her personal appeals, her material gifts, she inspired us with new ze.nl. To the croas she clung for support. On it she fixed a firm grasp of faith; It was her theme in life her triumph in death and she leaves this rich heritage to her children and friends still on this side of the River. We dare uot murmur, for it was God who did it. Therefore, wo bow to the Divine will, and by God's help we try to read.his meaning in this message 01 love. In our hearts wo will over choriBh their memory, around which we will weave an amaranthine wreath. Wo lovingly extend to tho families of these dear ?iBters our tenderest synipa thy and beg to point them to tit; Cr.s< of Christ for comfort. Mm. Mary Woodruff Caiter, Mrs. Lizzie Henderson Trayuham, Mrs. Mary Bratnlett Wood, Committee. Piinceton, 8. C, March 0, 1603. Don't think less of your system than you do of your house. Give it a lhor-s ough cleansing, too. Take Hood's Bar/aparil'a. "Clifton" In Tewel Hacks. All 48-lb sacks In wbloh "Clifton" flour is packed are made of regular towel goods.

All Humors Are impure matters which the skin, liver, kidueys and other organs can not take care of without help, there is such an accumulation ol them. They litter the whole system. Pimples, boils, eczema and other eruptions, loss of appetite, that tired feeling, bilious turns, fits of indiges tion, dull headaches and many other troubles arc due to them.

But it can't prevent the formation of deadly poisons within Its its very beiug. Indeed, the digestive tract may bo regard as one gr.ent laboratory for the manufacture of dangerous subs'ances. ''Biliousness" is a forcible illustration of the formation and the absorption of poison.*, due largoly to an excessive diet. the nervous symptoms of the dyspeptic are often but tho physiologi cal demonstrations of putrofactive alkaloid?.
