Castle in the Air. Io our drive from county to.-own last Monday morning a vehicle quite full of officials representing the C. S k N. R. R. passed us, also several other gentlemen going in the direction of Stateburg. We im mediately began to conjecture that something was up in Railroad circles, that tbe health of tbe old hills, the richness and fertility of this sweet stretch of country had at last attracted tbe eve of tbe capitalists, -nd these parties were ou a prospecting tour for the purpose of j locating a line or buying some lots. We learned afterwards that they were journeying towards the Court House of Hon. .T. S. Sumter. Where important interest* connect ed with the Road were being litigated. They were much impressed with tbe beauty of the country and especially the justice and fairness they received before a Stateburg jary. The Company won tbe case. Heal Estate Sales. A- S. Brown to C.

During tbe war be was one of tbe chief officers of the South Carolina Hospital association which wig under the management of tbe late Rev. R. W. Baro well. The asso ciation was supported by tbe patriotic ladies of onr State and did much to relieve and aid our gallant troops in tbe field When Rich mond fell Dr. LaFar saved from the wreck a number of South Carolina flags which had been deposited for safe keeping in the South Carolina Home when the battle-flag was adopted by tbe army. He has preserved them carefully and exhibited tb?m to us tbe other day. First, is tbe flag of tbe Third South Carolina Battalion of Cavalry and three mark ers of companies C and D.

Edifor Watchman and Southron : Our State Industriai Fair held last week, was a com plete success in every sense of the word. Through the medium of your valuable col umns 1 tender my hearty thanks to all who fo nobly contributed to the success of the enterprise. To me it is highly encouraging to see the disposition among our people to uni'.e in good deeds. For tbe third year we have had an increased attendance and deeper interest.. There is no good reason why a grand State Fuir on a larger scale should not he held. Exhibits came from Marlborough, Chesterfield, Darlington, Florence, Marion, Richlaud, Oraogeburg, Anderson Beaufort, Kershaw. Clarendon, Charleston and Sumter Counties. Excepting the live stock depart ment the preceding years have been surpassed in every way. "Let us have peace," and let us co-operate in this good work until every county in this State is represented at Sumter or elsewhere by the industry of the colored ueople of South Carolina. J. B. Middlrton President. INTERESTING NEWS. Prom Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, of Atlanta. Six mon the ago, at the request of a friend who was interested in the sale of Dr. King's Rovai Germeteur, I made a written statement of the benefits I had received from the use of that medicine. In that statement 1 expressed tbe belief that it would cure me entirely of Catarrh. Within tbe last two months I have received letters from every quarter of tbe Nation, calling on me for further information in regard to my health. It has beeo impossi ble for me to write privately to each person who has made this, request, and I am there fore under the necessity of making another public sta'ement. I am free from Catarrh. I believe that I could get a certificate to that effect from any competent physician. I have used no medi cine within the last six months except King's Royal Germetuer. My health is better than it has been in thirty years. I am in possession of information which warrants mein saying that the relief which I have experienced from the use of the medicine is not more certain and radical than that which it has brought to hun dreds of persone in Georgia and other states. I feel it to be my duty to say, also, that the effects of this remedy upon my wife bave been eveo. more signal and wonderful. She has been almost an invalid from nervous head ache, neuralgia and rheumatism. In a period of thirty years she has scarcely had a day's exemption from pain. She has been using Germetuer about two months. A more com plete transformation I have never witnessed. Every symptom of disease has disappeared. She appears to be twenty years younger, and is as happy and playful as a healthy child We have persuaded many of our friends to take the medicine, and the testimony of all of them is that it is a great remedy. J. Hawthorns. Pastor First Baptist Church, Rev. Sam. P. Junks talks out : We are in receipt of a letter from the above world-renowned evangelist, from which we take the following extract : "I returned from Tyler, Texas, on March 12th. I find my wife has been taking Royal Germetuer to tbe great upbuilding of her physical system. She is now almost free from tbe distressing headaches with which she has suffered for twenty years. Surely it has done wonders for her. I wish every poor suffering wife had access to that medicine." Later he writes: "My wife who has been nn invalid from nervous sick headache has been entirely cured by six weeks' ufe of Dr. King's Royal Germe tuer. Her health is ?perfect. In three weeks two of my children were cured completely of nasal catarrh. It is truly a great remedy." Dr. King's Royal Germetuer is a boon to women. It builds up their strength, increases their appetite, aids digestion, relieves them of the cause of disease, and insures healih. Gkneral James Longstreet, ?.he old war rior, heard from : I have suffered for months past from insomnia and indigestion, and, failing of relief, was induced by a friend to try Dr. King's Royal Germetuer. I am now relieved, and I hope permanently so. James Longstreet, Gainesville, Ga., June 27. 1890. Their Think-Pans Lighter. It ie not gallant to refer to it, perhaps, but ihe illustration is necessary. At birth an average female brain weighs 347 grammes, and the male brain 893. Tbe female brain begins to lose weight after the age of thirty ; that of a man not till ten or fifteen years later. The Medical Record tells us that there is just five ounces less amount of brain matter standing between women and idiocy than there is in the case of a man. It is very evident from this that our wives, mothers and sisters need to have a care of themselves. When debility, depressed spirits, enervate^ sensations, loss of appetite and dyspepsia make their appearance in the home circle, the ladies should, by all means, harp that universally accepted remedy, Dr. West morelands'e Calisaya Tonic, to insure a re turn of health, vigor and spirits. It is invai- j uable in malarial districes, and is a sure ariti- ; periodic. For sale by all druggists, and wholesale by Dr. A. J. China. If you are all run down?have no strength, no energy, and feel very tired all the time? take Dr. J. H. Mclean's S-?rsaparilla. It will impart strength and vitality to your system. yloct NOTICE ATAX OF TWO MILLS HAS BEEN levied upon all taxable property in the City of Sumter to defray the expenses of the School District of the said city, known as District No. 17.
