It is geuerally agreed that only half crop of j

Have heard complaints of hog cholera; also
two-legged hog cholera ; this latter disease is
more to be dreaded than the former. It is re?

Sidra can enlighten us.

prowling around between this place and the j

Some of those whose crops were not men- !
tioned io this correspondence last summer j
have been laying the blame of short crops i
and low prices on your correspondent ; one \
even went so far as to say he let his crop get
grassy to keep it from being mentioned, and j
said that we caused him to lose several hun- j
dred pounds of cotton on an acre by the road j
Did you ever hear the beat of such talk? He t
also said that some whose crops were favor- ?
ably mentioned were made too ''stuck up"
for anything. A case of sour grapes you
will call it.
Making poor crops to keep them from j
being noticed, is cutting of your nose to spite
your face, gentlemen, and will not be apt to
pay. So you had better not practice it any
more tran yon can help. DEW.

Dyspepsia Can be Cured.
There is perhaps no disease so prevalent as
dyspepsia or indigestion, and one too, that
up to the presen', lime, has baffled the skill of
the most, eminent Physicians. Two-thirds of j
the chronic diseases have their origin in dys?
pepsia. The Symplons are loss of appetite, j
los.3 of flesh, a feeling of fullness or weight in ?
the stomach, occasionaly nausea and vomit- |
iog, acidity, flatulence, dull pain in the head,
with a sensation of heaviness or giddiness,
irregularity of bowels, low spirits, sleepless?
ness, sallow skin, derangement of kidneys,
and not unfrequently palpitation of the heart.

BEG TO CALL THE ATTENTION OF THE CITIZENS OF SUMTER to
their large and varied stock of
Fine Jewelry, Watches, Clocks, Silverware, &c.
We have not the space in this advertisement to enumerate
all the prices, or give in detail the varied styles. Below we
give some of the prices, and say that should you need anything j
in our line we would be pleased to quote you styles and prices j
more in detail. We can make it to your advantage to:trade ?
with us. See our special offer :
i . ... * '
J The holder of this Coupon is entitled to a discount of iO^^
J per cent, on any purchase mach of us opr&r-beforej^^fltf
? 1st, 1886. P. H. LACHIOOTT?'?-^?^k f
? No claim for discount will be recognized unless this CoflP^Hspresented. r"
This ofter is only made to the people of Sumter and vicinity,
and for a limited time. It is liberal because our prices are as
low as the same goods can be bought for ANYWHERE. There is
no chance for deception because our price mark is in plain
figures. Our reason for making this ofter is, we desire to bring
to your attention the fact that you can buy your Jewelry, Silver,
etc., in Columbia as cheaply as anywhere else, and by our spe?
cial ofter hope to be able to induce you to give us a trial.
See the advantages of this ofter. In the first place the prices
on the goods are in plain ligures, so that there is no adding on
to take oft* in discount. On a purchase of ?10 worth, you get a
discount of $1, getting $10 worth of goods for $9 ; on a ?15
purchase the discount is 31.50, which will pay your railroad
fare one way between Sumter and Columbia. The discount on
a ?30 purchase pays your fare both ways ; or a ?50 purchase
pays your fare both waj7s and Hotel Expenses in Columbia.
Now, as you will doubtless need, something in our line, sajr JEW?
ELRY for wife, daughter or sweetheart, or SILVER WARE, either
with or without handsome Plush or Morocco Cases for Wedding
Presents, would it nit be to your advantage to buy it from us ?
We think so, and only ask that you give us a trial.
We will send goods C. 0. 1). with privilege of examining
before paying the bill if 50 cents is enclosed with the order to
guarantee us express charges in case of no sale. If the article
sent was satisfactory, and bought, the 50 cents would be deduct?
ed from the bill. It would be hardly fair to expect us to go to
the trouble of packing and shipping an article and also have to
pay express charges when no sale was effected. We will now
give you some of our prices, but should you want anything in
this line write to, or call on, us and state what you would like
to get and how much you wish to pay. and we can suit you.
Remember, only one price on each article, and thai in plain figures.
