The cases ^gainst the blind tigers arrested several days 'ago were con? tinued in the Recorder's* court yester? day, which was called to order at 10 a. m. The first oss< up a 11 that of CaU houn Qardnsr for selling whiskey un lawi'ully. Mr. Geo. I>. Levy rcpresnt ed the defendant and Mr. John II. Clifton the city. The attorney for the defendant asked for a jury which was drawn with the result that the fol? lowing men wars called upon to act as Jurors in the case: V. H. Phelps. T. V. Walsh. R. F. Haynsworth. C. P. Exum and J. H. Chandler. The evidence was convincing and in spite of a spirited defense put up, It did not take the jury long to bring In a verdict of guilty. The Recorder then gave Gardner a sentence of $100 or 30 days. William Harrison, who was not a liquor seller, was tried for the offense of carrying a concealed weapon, lie plead not guilty, hut was found guilty and sentenced to pay a line of $30 or to serve 30 days. The case against George P. Mc Kagen was then commenced, but was postponed until a jury could be drawn. In the meantime other cases were brought up and heard. LatOH Wilson was charged with selling a pint of whiskey to L. A. Welch on the night of December 20. He denied the charge most emphati? cally, stating that Welch had come to his place of business, but that he had brought whiskey with him which he had passed around to several per? sons who were in is shop at the time. He had never sold whiskey and never expected to sell it, as was shown by the statements of several witnesses whom he put on the stand to testify. Wilson is a reformed speller, stat? ing that his name, Leighton, is spell? ed Laton and at the same time he showed himself a good amateur law? yer, asking the witnesses that were put on the stand some questions that were, to say the least, disconcerting. Mr. Welch and Policeman McKagen were the witnesses In the city's case and they went through the usual forpular of telling how Mr. McKagen had searched Welch and then sent him to Wilson's place of business to buy the whiskey. The Recorder, in spite C*f the fact that witnesses living in 'the same house as Wilson, testified to the fact that they would have known of it had ftW?Mon sold tiiv liquor, ha not seen h p. no it, found WilsOQ goi.':* and l sentenced him lo vi \ tin usual fine I of $?o.'i or to nerve 80 ..t\,>' on the cha'.n f"*rg.

Lynchburg, Jan. 16,?This town la i;; w free from typhoid fever, except one case, Mrs. p. u. Mclntoah, who has bean until quite recently, desper? ately ill for seven or eight weeks, She ;;>?. mi now to be in a state of con? valescence. The small pox is the or- j dor of the day. Ales, i s Heece Joy and j I >. P, Dennis are among those report- | cd iil from small pox. These are th'> j drat cast i among the white people, but quite a number have unknowing- i ly come in contact with it, so some j new cases will doubtless be the re? sult. Dr. T. K. McKlveen, so well known in this section, and especially in Shlloh after locating several months 1 in Columbia, has moved back, and \ will be located in South Lynchbure. His many friends welcome him back, after an absence of 1 5 years from his old home section. I. T. Flamming, colored, who has been a faithful and e?ieient postmas? ter at this place for 13 years, but was recently sent to the Slate hos? pital for treatment, having been pronounced insane, has been trans? ferred to the pest house in Columbia he having developed small pox. Flem ming, though an intelligent colored man, by his association with a cer? tain colored divine, who is now making himself scarce around here, conceived and cultivated the idea that he was inspired to talk and in? terpret the "unknown tonuge," but alas! his malady was "small pox." Dr. C. C. Baker, a very i prosperous farmer residing near this place, feels that he is called to the missionary Held, to do good physically and mentally, so he is armed with a Bible and a supply of vixaeore?an absolute and instan eous cure for all ailments of human? ity. Saturday afternoon, as per ad? vertisement, he delivered a lectare In the open air, In order that everybody, j young and old, little and big, rich J and poor, high and low, might hear, and believe. But -of course, you must have faith and buy a bot? tle or a package according to the na? ture of thte trouble. The lecture last? ed two hours, the speaker, "Dr." C. C. Baker, being frequently applauded, the applause being almost deafening by the peculiar sound of the whistles had lined up in front of the platform had lined up In front o fthe platform to pay homage to the "Rev."

PEELER, Hendersonville, S. C, writes: "I de,sir3 to make known for the bene litof suffering humanity my experience with Peruna. "I was afllicted with catarrh of the stomach, and though I tried many rem? edies and applied to several doctors, it was all in vain. "Had it not been for Peruna I believe 1 would have been in my grave to-day. "I have every reason to believe that Peruna is the greatest remedy for ca? tarrh known to the world. Therefore I have been, and shall continue to rec? ommend it to those who axe unwell/1 Ask your Druggist for a Free Peruna REV. J. G. DUKES, Pastor of the Unitarian Church at Pinetown, N. C, writes: "My wife has been in a very bad state of health ?for several years, and noth? ing seemed to do her any good until she began to use Peruna one month ago. Since then the color has returned to her face, and she is gaining in flesh every day, and I believe she is a well woman to-day. "My little boy, ten years old, was pale and had but little life. He began to use Peruna the day hi6 mother began. To? day his face is rosy, and he is out in the yard running and jumping with the rest of the children." Throat Trouble. Rev. H. W. T?te, 920 Lincoln Ave., Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, Ohio, writes that for several years he has been troub? led with a peculiar spasmodic affecMon j of the throat, which interfered with his j vocation as a preacher.
