Used to be the time when ''you

some thief entered the store of
Messrs L D Rodgers & Co Tuesday
night and made away with three or
four canvassed hams, some flour.several
bottles of pickles and 70 cents in
cash. The thief entered the si ore
through a rear side window. Mr
Rodgers says he can't tell just what
all was stolen beyond the above
mentioned articles.
One of the pleasantest reminders
we had of the festive season was a
present from two of our old Benson
friends?who "hre too modest to
want their names printed. But
what they sent us was a genuine
treat and all the more so as everything
bore the flavor of our boyhood
home. They were: Sausage,
liver pudding, head cheese, "Kentucky
oysters," yes, and a whole
ham. We certainly shall not soon
forget the thoughtful kindness of
these friends.

that we fear our staid
old town will wake up soon and find
herself a city in spite of herself. If
but Jialf the projected new buildings
we have heard of materialize, the
old town is facing a year of unprecedented
growth and up-building.
We are not at liberty at present to
divulge what we know about the
plans that are under consideration,
but we say in all confidence and
sincerity. "Watch Kingstree grow

The read en of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh, being a constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for
list of testimonials.
