WARREN TOPPAN, Lynn, Mass. _a$V^_lf^^^a_ Cured of severe compound ijr cold and cough by J HMO ?.From Dec. 20, '08, to March 1, '09, X / X Off'/ 1 had three bad colds, one on top of the n (. / other. I got so weak 1 could hardly SSL i/amP^rT^ *^ ^et around- Nothing seemed to help MKfl^E^^HlBkF^ me until I began to take Vlnol. The jtflFcF change was magic. Three bottles com ^? ffif^MiiW^ pletely fixed that compound cold ami ??sRHSW^^^ f^y^mwS^r "topped the terrible cough ami what I ^|roSwk^^&- surprises me most, at the same time \ , \r TS^uV \/^*\j^SB/fi* It cured me of a severe stomach trouble that has bothered me for 20 years. Vlnol Is certainly a wonderful medicine." Mr.Toppan is one of Lynn's most prominent and highly respected merchants, whose word is as good as his bond. The reason Vinol is so successful in such cases is because it contains the two most world-famed tonics?the medicinal, strength ening, body-building elcmei ts of Cod Liver Oil and Tonic Iron.

Mr. Martin enjoyed robust health until a few months ago and he was critically 111 ony a short time. On Saturday at noon lie was laid to rest in the graveyard at Poplar Springs church, following funeral ser vices conducted by his pastor. Mr. Martin was a brother-in-law of ("apt. John Moore whose death occur red in this city Thursday night, only fourteen hours before the subject ol this notice. Moth belonged to the same Confederate command, Company B, Sixth South Carolina cavalry, both were recognized learders in their re spective churches and of the Laurens Baptist association for many long years. Until about fifteen years ago Mr. Martin held his membership with Poplar Springs church, withdrawing ut that time to unite with others in organizing a new . hurch at Mt. Galla gher. In both churches he held the Office of deacon and, as already stated was regarded as one of the leaders in all church work and civic righteous ness in his community and county. He was twice married, his second wife, who was a sister of the late ("apt. John Moore, having proceeded him to the grave only a year or so ago. Among the surviving children are Messrs James.

In lust week's issue of The Adver tiser in the column of "county school news notes" there was an annoence ment concerning a boys' corn club to be organized in Laurens county. The plan was explained in full and already Interest has been manifested, a num ber having expressed intention of en tering the contest. The work of se curing entries devolves largely on the teachers In the rural schools, to each of whom Superlntedent Pitts has ivrltton a personal letter. The agricultural department of the government is back of this movemenl co gut the young boys of the country Interested in tho growing of corn. Al ready in many of the counties i>r the itato there are these clubs; Laurens ias been somewhat backward In tak ing hold, but with tin* efforts of Sup erintendent Pitts, assisted b> the teachers all over the county, this year should see a large club of hoys striv ing for the prizes, which by the way. ,u addition <?> the honor of being winner, are well worth working for. Former State Suterlntendont ol Edu cation O. I!. Martin is in charge of tin work in South Carolina. Hoys, you do not have to pay any thing to enter; all you must do. is to select your acre for planting, do your own work, select the seed yourself, do the planting and the gathering of the crop. Of course you may ask ail vice from others, hut do your own work and use exactly one acre ol land. The prizes are: a state prize of $f>U for the best yield: a county prize of f.2."r for the greatest yield; for the sec ond greatest yield. $2n; third great est yield. $1.".; for the best shelled corn $.">; for the best corn Oil the ear. In addition to doing the work, the hoy must write a paper telling of his work, how he did it. and submit this to the judges. ?sn i every hoy in Lau rens county get into this contest and to win. There ought to bo a whole lot of pride in doing things like this. If you win, it means that you are a good fanner even though a boy. Think of it; a II year old hoy down in Malboro county won the first prize last year. Do you think he is proud of his work? There are hoys in l.au rens COUIlty who can do the same thing. The prizes are good; besides the money given, there's to be a free trip to Washington for some hoy. Why can't you have that trip? if any one desires further Informa tion about the contest let him write lo either The Advertiser or i<> Slipt. Pitts. The busiest and mightiest little thing that ever was made is Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. They do tin? work whenever you require their aid. These tablets change weakness Into strength, listlcssncss into onorgy, gloominess into joyousness. Their action is so gentle one don't realize they have taken a purgative. Sold by l.aurens Drug Co.

'I THE BUS* BEES. | By W. D. S. During tho civil war I was do'.illled to guard the government stores at Martin's depot. The provisions were being stolen at night from the depot. Our sheriff Samuel Anderson resided I here. He was a lover of bees and kept them for their honey. A swarai came OUt one day and settled on a peach tree. Mr. Anderson attempted to hive them and they stung him so badly that he gave up the job. Aaron Caspory a .lew was in business at Marlins and he made it good deal of sport at Mr. Anderson foi being run off by the little bees "Why I can rake up those bees in my hands and put them in the gum." "Caspery! You let those bees alone. Von have been drinking peach brandy and honey and they will sting you to death.'' Caspery marched down to the peach tree, caught hold of the limb and gave it a vigorous shake, and the bees covered him. Von never heard such yelling, slapping and light ing as Caspery and the bees had. I ami Mr. Anderson did nil we could to get the lues off him, and went to doctoring htm up. I thought he would surely die. He swelled up till his eyes were closed anil his head was is big as a pumpkin. In a few days Aaron was all right again. I guess he was never fond of honey after this scrape. Saved at Heath's Door. The door of death seemed ready to >pcn for Murray w. Ayers, of Transit Bridge, X. V.. when his life was won lerflllly saved. "I was In a dreadful . 'onditlon," he writes, "my skin was almost yellow: eyes sunken: tongue coated: emaciated from losing 4P i pounds, growing weaker daily. Viru lent liver trouble pulling me down to leatll in spite of doctors. Then that matchless medicine Fleet rie Hitters aired me. I regained the 40 pounds lost and now am well aud strong." < For all stomach, liver and kidney I roubles they're supreme. r?0c at Lau rens Drug Co. & Palmetto Drug Co. < I'm- Celestials, I once visited a very rough boom town in Oregon, near Cottage ('rove. , In tin- leading saloon a man in a red ( shirt said to me: "Ye wnnter carry yerself almighty straight in those parts, stranger.

There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional rem edies. Deafness is caused by an in flni.I condition of the muscous lining of the ICustachlan Tube. When this tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, ami unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restor ed to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by Ca tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for Circulars free. F. .1. CIIENRY & CO., Toledo, o.

('?ray Court, Jan. 16th.?Last night at 12:1? o'clock, a store, one residence and the Charleston and Western Caro lina railway station wi re completely destoyed at Barksdale station, three miles southeast of this place. It Is positive that the fire orginated in the store, which was owned by Putnam & Putnam, the lire spreading from there to the residence of Mr. B. H. Power, and thence to the station. The entile stock of merchandise, about $3,000, owned by Putnam & Putnam, was destroyed. Mr. Putnam was agent for the railroad and till the tickets records and papers were burned. The residence occupied by Mr. Power was owned by Mrs. F. C. Poarce; the building was covered by insurance, the amount of $1,000. On the station there was Insurance to the amount of $."?00. Mr. Power's household goods were badly damaged in removing them from the burning building. The loss to Putnam & Put nam will probably amount to "4,000 on both building and goods, and so far as Is known there was no Insur ance. Mr. W. H. Putnam was in Creenville with his family when the fire occurred. There was a number of bales of cotton on the depot platform, but these were i, moved to it place of safety be fore the building was afire. Making Life Safer.
