LIQUOR SELLERS UP.
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.

SEVERAL CASES OF SMALL POX.
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

Catarrh of Stomach.
REV. J. T. 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?

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. He took Peru
