AN HISTORIC SECTION. Something About One ot the Garden Spots of Williamsburg. Editor County Record: ? As we never see anything in print1 from this section I would like to send you a few dots occasionally, if j acceptable. We are situated so far | from the railroad that our section is' *ot so well known as it should be, so j that it may not be amiss to state that Rhem's postoffice is situated be-j tween Black river and Black Mingo j creek, in the eastern part of Wil- j liamsburg, near the Georgetown! line. t; < ' This section has a record second to none in the annals of the past, having contributed a liberal share towards making history in the lower section of the county away back to colonial days. Near here may be I seen the remains of the ancient; bridge over Mingo creek, across which Marion led his gallant company to attack the Tories camped at the "Red House", a palatial old residence, the ruins of which are still to be seen; also the burial place of Marion's men who were slain in this encounter is still preserved. In colonial days this must have been one of the wealthiest portions of Williamsburg county, as the ruins of many magnificent dwellings are still to be seen here,grim specters of days that are dead, silently pointing to the wealth and refinement of a by-gone and forgotten past. Who they were or why their descendants departed, tradition does not say and we can find little out of the ordinary in the class of people who dwelt in this community before the Civil war began. Just before this event occurred there came to this section from North Carolina a gentleman by the name of F Rhem, whose coming had - - ? i* 1 L a lasting influence ana aia mucn iv i shape the destiny of the whole community. Mr Rhem being a practical turpentine man idealized the splendid opportunity afforded and invested in large tracts of timbered lands. He then began operating what was something entirely new in this section?a plant for the manufacture of terpentine products. As is the case 7\^>*^w.yith every/manufacturing industry, ~his?plM^ise infused new life into the* people of our section, as it open ed $ market for the crude product of the pjne,which before that time had been regarded as quite worthless. I Taking the cue from the pioneer, many others engaged in the manufacture of "naval stores", which put i much money in circulation and proved a God-send to all classes of people. Mr Rhem was an experiencedk farmer as well as a turpentine ex* 1 pert and his methods of clearing, draining and fertilizing resulted in extraordinary yields of corn, oats and other grain crops, thus demonstrating the possibilities of our soil, under proper cultivation. By his industry and energy intelligently applied, Mr Rhem amassed a large for' * tune, which served to lay the foun~ i.L.i ?^ the prosperous section tnat todajt beaiX his name, the history of ! which will be taken up in my next 1 communication.

There is only one way to cure deaf- i ness, and that is by constitutional 1 remedies. Deafness is caused by an 1 inflamed condition of the mucous j lining of the Eustachian Tube. When j this tube is inflamed you have a J ? rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, ' Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored 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 Dol- , lars for any case of Deafness (caused i by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cirpiilflr5 tvpp F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.
