Cades, December 15: -Our town

death last Wednesday afternoon of
one of our beloved and prominent
citizens, Mr Christopher Charles

friends, to mourn his untimely death.

Robbery at Johnsonvllle.
Monday night of last week the express
office at Johnsonville was ,
broken into and robbed. As far j
as can be discovered, the only valu- i
t
ables taken were two otter skins, 1
which were selected by the burglar
from a bundle of pelts, mostly opos- j
sum and raccoon skins. Suspicion j ]
as to the guilty party points strong- J (
!v to a white man named Miles, who j
has served on the chaingang in Williamsburg
county. Miles has been
arrested on circumstantial evidence. <
He was seen standing around when i
the shipment of furs was left at the i
express office, and shortly before "-1
being arrested, was known to have 1

skins, stating that he had some for

: 'TWAS THE MIGHT *.
; BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
j * ? ?* -
I 'Twas the night before Christmas, when
all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a
mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney
with care.
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would
be there.
The children were nestled all snug in
their beds.
While visions of sugar-plums danced in
their heads;
And mamma in her kerchief.and I in my
cap.
Had just settled ourselves for a long
winter napWhen
out on the lawn there arose such
a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was
the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the
sash.

low;
When what to my wondering eyes should
appear
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny
reindeer,
With a littie old driver, so lively and
quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers
I they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called
them by name:
"Now, Dasher! now. Dancer! now,
Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and
Blitzen!

the wall.
Now dash aw ay, dash away, dash away
all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane
fly.
When they meet with an obstacle mount
to the sky,
So up to the housetop the coursers they
flew.
With a sleigh full of toys?and St Nicholas,
too.
And then in a twinkling I heard on the
roof
The prancing aud pawing of each little
hoof.
As I drew in my head and was turning
around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas came
with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur from his head
to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with
ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his
back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening
his pack.
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like
a cherry.
His eyes, how they twinkled, his dimples,
how merry;
His droll iittle mouth was drawn up like
a bow,

as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his
teeth.
And the smoke it encircled his head like
a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round
belly
That shook when he laughed like a
bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump?a right jolly
old elf;
And I laughed when I saw him in spite
of myself.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to
dread.
He spoke not a word but went straight
to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then with a
jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod. up the chimney he
rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team
gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of
a thistle;
But I heard him exclaim ere he drove
out of sight,
"Merry Christmas to all. and to all a
good night!"
ACT QUICKLY.
Delay Has Been Dangerous in Kingstree.
Do the right thing at the right
time.
Act quickly in time of danger.
In time of kidney danger Doan's
Kidney Pills are most effective.
Plenty of evidence of their worth.
W R White, S Boundary St, Manning,
S C, says: "At one time my
kidneys were so weak that I had but
little control over the kidney secretions.
I suffered constantly from
backache and pains across my loins
and mornings I was so lame and sore
that it was hard for me to dress. If
I sat down for a little while, I
had to lift myself by main force.
Nothing ever helped me until I
used Doan's Kidney Pills. They restored
my kidneys to a normal condition
and removed all the symptoms
of the complaint. I can confirm the
statement 1 gave some years ago regarding
Doan's Kidney Pills. I use
them occasionally and they always
help me."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy?get
Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that
Mr White had. Foster-Milburn
