I heard this text preached from: "Go
forward don't look back; don't dally
on the road ! Keep your eyes to the
front, and keep a-movtng forward !" I
hope no reader of THE ADVERTISER will
get discouraged and say, It's no use for
me to try to do anything. What has
been done in the past can be done
again. Try again, and imitate the vir
tues of those worthies that I am trying
to tell you about in our county paper.
10. B. Gambrell was born over in An
derson county, and he was kept be
tween the plow handles until he was 21
years old. He then wanted to be no
longer a drone?a hewer of wood and
drawer of water. He felt hampered
for the want of an education, having
never gone to school a single day. He
purchased a blue-back spelling book and
started to learn. Went six months to
an old-field school. That was bis edu
cation. He then went to clerking in
country stores for Matheson, McCul
lough & Sullivan. He stayed for years
with us. He was a fair scribe, a good
calculator and bookkeeper. He sold the
goods, put them on the blotter, then
transcribed the articles to the day
hook and collected all goods sold on
?redit to each purchaser on the ledger.
Country merchants paid their clerks no
big wages, boarded them, and the ex
pense of clothing was not excessive. So
lie saved his wages, bought a tract of
land and purchased stores as he was
able. Put a white tenant on the place
to look after the hands and keep up the
farm. In middle life he concluded he
was now able to support a wife. He
married a Methodist girl who made him
an excellent wife, and she was a help
meet to him indeed. Her Christian life
bad a wonderful influence on him,
brought him into the church and made
him a lifetime member of Mt. Bethel
church.
Young man, don't say I can't. Try
again. What has been done can be
done again.
Uemember that when the stomach
digestion must always follow. But
strengthen these same weak inside
nerves with Dr. Sboop's Restorative,
and then see how quickly health will
again return. Weak heart and kidney
nerves can also be strengthened with
the Restorative where heart pains,
palpitation or kidney weakness is found.
Don't drug the stomach nor stimulate
the heart or kidneys. What is wrong.
Go to the cause of these ailments.
Strengthen the weak inside nerves with
Dr. Sboop's Restorative and get well.
A simple, single test will surely tell.

was informed by the naval authorities
that the age limit was not a matter of
mere regulation, but was the law. and

A FOOL QUESTION.
Aeked In * Railway Station, It Won ?
Caustle Reply.
He stood at the ticket window slowly
unrolling an old fashioned leather bag.
wiiiic a dozen men stood behind him,
driven to madness by (lie shouting of
the gatemen calling their trains. After
he got about a yard aud a bnlf of bag
unrolled he suddenly stopped and said
to the ticket clerk:
"la that clock right?"
"No, sir."
?"Tain't?" shouted the startled pa?
?enger, stooping down and making a
Budden clutch at a lean and hun
gry carpetbag. " 'Taint right? Well,
what 'n the name o' commou senso do
ye have It stuck up there for, theu?"
"To fool people," calmly replied the
clerk. "That's what we're here for?to
feol people and misdirect them."
"Great Scott!" said the passenger,
hurriedly rolllug up his bag. "I've
missed my train. I'll report you, I
will!"
"Won't do any good, it's tho compa
ny's orders. They pay a inau to go
round every mornlug to mix aud mud
dle up all the clocks, so that not one of
thorn will be right and no two of them
alike."
Tho passenger gasped twice or thrice,
but could not say ans-thlug. The ticket
clork went on:
"It's tho superintendent's idea. He
is fond of fun, enjoys a Joke, antf It
does him good to boo a man Jump about
and bear him Jaw when he buys a
ticket and then fluds his train has been
gone two hours."
"Which way Is this clocK wrong?"
the passenger asked In despairing ac
cents?'Vast or slow?"
"Don't know. That's part of tho fun
not to let anybody In the building know
nnything about the right time. AU I
know is that It's about ninety minutes
wrong one way or the other."
With a hollow groan the passenger
grablwd his bag aud made a rush for
the door, upsettlug any muii who got
in his way. In about two minutes he
came back, crestfallen and meek, aud
took his place at the end of tho Hue.
When once moro ho walked up to tho
window ho said, as he named nis sta
tion and bought his ticket like a sane
man:
"What made you talk to me like you
did?"
"What made you ask questions like

PLEASANT JAILS.
The Way Prisoners In Montenegro Ar*
Treated.
When I paid a visit to the Cetlnje
Jail I found that all the prisoners were
out for i walk. For two hours every
morulng and again for two hours in
the afternoon they are allowed to WAD
der about on the green before the pris
on. There is nothing, indeed, but their
own sense of honor to prevent their
going farther afield unless they be
murderers, In which case they wear
chains. Tho authorities provide them
with housing, of course, and with
clothes?not uniform ulso with a Ore
at which to cook their foo\i, and they
give them fourpenee a day eacl;
buy it. Tho prisoners cater for them
selves. Two of them go to the market,
every moruln. to buy provisions fo?
the day. They are not required to work
unless they choose, and they are classi
fied not according to the seriousness
of their offense, but according to their
standard of life and general behavior.
If a man of education and reUnemont
is sent to prison, care is taken to lodge
him, so far as possible, in u room
where the other occupants beloug to
his own rank in life. I found on one
l)ed a beautiful counterpane and a pil
low covered with delicate; embroidery.
"Yes, poor fellow, that's his wife's
handiwork," the governor of the JaP
remarked casually as we passed. Iu
one prison life was made so easy anfl
pleasant that on leaving it I ventured
to remark that to bo thero was no pun
ishment, It seemed to me.
"No punishment:" the ofliclal who
was with me exclaimed In surprise.
"But think of the disgrace of being
here. Is not that In Itself punishment
enough V"
I had and still have doubts on th-?
subject, for I had Just seen a cheery
old fellow who, although the time) for
which he was sentenced had expired,
stoutly refused to quit the prison.?

For Diseases of (he Skin.
Nearly all diseases of the skin, such

applying Chamberlain's Salve. It al
