THR ECoSoAY or lIBALTH.-This busy nation Of
Americans have 70, 100000 working people, whose SER
vices may bo estimated at 50 a day, aud their annual
loss by sickness at an average Of ten days each In the
year. This gives a total loss OF $40, 900, 900, d sum
three times as large rs the whole cost Of the General
Government, including the Army, Navy, Post Offices,
Legislators, Foreign Ministers and all. Tho amount
weighs over six hundred tons In pure gold,
A large proportion Of this costly suffering might be
averted by attention to diet, cleanliness, and above all
by the proper use Of the right remedy In SEASON.
When a % cent box Of Ayers Pills viii avert an attack
Of illness which II would take several days to recover
from, or a dollar bottle Of Ayers Sanaparilla, will
eXPol a lurking disorder that would bring tho sufferer
to his back for weeks or months, docs II take any fig,
urcs to show the good economy Of the Investment ?
when Fever and Aguo Is ranking in your veins, and
shaking your life out Of you, Ia It worth the dollar 1t
costs for his AGuE CURE to have the vlllianous disorder
expelled, which II does surely and quickly when
you have taken acold, Is It prudent to wait until II has
settled on tho lungs, when days, or weeks, or months
must be spent in trying to cure II, even If It can be cur

PV A YOUNG LADY returning to her country
home, after a sojourn Of a few months In the City, was
hardly recognized by her friends. In place Of a course
rustic, flush face, she had a soft, ruby complexion Of
almost marble smoothness, aud instead Of twenty'lhree
she really appeared but eighteen. Upon inquiry as to
the cause Of so great a change, she plainly told them
that she used the Clreassian Balm, aud consider
ed &, an invaluable acquisition to any Laiy's toilet
BY Its use any Lady or Gentleman can improve thelr
personal appearance an hundred fold. 1t Is simple IN
lts combination, a. Nature herself Is simple, yet I'M
surpassed in iis efficacy in drawing impurities FROM
also healing, cleansing and beautlfylng the skin and
complexion. By ita direct action on the %euticle, !,

Town Improvements.

We have Inadvertently failed to notice the various
improvements being made upon our streets. Huge
piles Of rocks, for paving purposes, are to be seen every
whore, holes in the streets are being filled up and d.
lapilated sidewalks repaired. A plank way has been
constructed, leading from the Court House to tho De.
pot. This has long been needed as pcr-ambulation in
that part of town was very dsagrocable in muddy
weather, under the old order Of things, A shed will
soon he erected over the town scales, the material be,
ing already on hands. Mr.. Calvin Shaw, the boss "
Of the working force, drives ahead with vlgor and en-.
ergy. Our city Fathers seem to be infused with a fresh
spirit Of enterprise, and under their administration,
our ancient " burg" will soon present a neat and at
lnclive appearance.
Town Councllmen sre generally spoken Of as being
as stupid and lfelcss as Hindoo Gods, but we will join
the issue with any one who so represents ours.

Tho regular session of the Court for Sumter
District closed its sittings, and tho Juries were
discharged on Friday afternoon last. Motions,
&C., were heard by his Honor, Judge Dawkins, on
Saturday.
Three days Of the Court were mostly consumed
with the Summary Process Docket, and large
amount OF the business of the Issue Docket was
continued. The Sessions side exhibited the most
gratifying fact that the States Attorney was left
with little or nothing to do. Not single case was
tried, and there was but one or two upon the
docket. This, in times like these, is good re-
cord for Sumter, speaking, as it does of obedience
to law, and the absence Of violence among our
pcople.-Suntcr Ne1cS.
