most efRcacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full Alternative

it is 30 mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so ~effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians oil over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of It's usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-

of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence OF
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla

do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

In Memoriam.

"K." in the Keowee Courier publishes 9
beautiful tribute to the memory of Mrs.
Gertrude Small Smith, from which we
make the following extract "While
she was yet a child, the family left their
abode in Ireland and came seeking q
home in this country, which they found
at Abbeville. Showing ever at this early
age those characteristics which ever after
distinguished her, Gertrude Small was
courteous in her bearing, gentle, refined
and unselfish, amiable and sympathetic,
with a mind quick to perceive, a heart
prompt to love and hands ever ready to
help, she won the affection and esteem of
all whose privilege it was to know her.
Developing these beautiful traits of wo-
manhood, it was not strange that her
youthful thoughts should be turned to
Him by whose grace she had received
them all-it was natural for that young
heart to love it's God, and accordingly,
moved thereunto by the Holy Spirit, she
went forward on November l, 1868, in
Trinity Church, Abbeville, and received
the apostolic rite of confirmation at the
hands of the late Rt. Rev. Thos. F. Davis
d. D., Bishop of South Carolina. What
she then protested she YER after illus
trated by a walk with God, close, con
sistent and faithful"

HE WAS A COON DOG.
G Reno Gazette tells the following:

The Reno Gazette tells the following:
Ordinarily one of Reno's most respectable
citizens, young Stiffback, was behaving dis
gracefully last night.
"Im a coon dog, he shouted as he stag
gered up to the bar and turned his back to it
and hung by his elbows "Im a coon dog, |
am. Dammit we'reall coon dogs. every one of
us. Come up you fellows and all take drink
with the boss coon dog of Washoe Hooray
I'm coon dog, you bet yer life
To prove beyond doubt that he ,0as coon
dog, Mr.. Stiffback seized the silver tipped
cork of the whiskey bottle which the bar
keeper had furnished forth, and straightway
tried to balance it on his nose. The attempt
was failure. Mr.. Stiffback earnestly watched
the cork roll on the floor, took his hat off his
own head and facetiously struck at that OF
the barkeeper with it and yelled
"BIast it! I'm a coon dog anyway" Every
body cheerfully agreed that he was, and he
shook hands all round.

THE REIGN OF TERROR IN LOU

Chicago. November IA T,rbu3e New
Orleans special confirms the report from that
city sent last week, and says: The
result of the elections are not comph
ruentary to Governor Nichols, who has often
assured the country that colored voters should
receive ample protection. There are quite as
many political refugees in New Orleans,
seemngly from country parishes, as in the
campaign of 1876. They report themselves
now, as then. driven from their homes be-
cause of their political affiliations. Their
saidayits have been taken for probable use in
tie near future and shown up badly, those
from Concordia and Tcnsas parishes in par
ticuiar. The parish of Concordia has a regis
tired colored vote of $500 against 275 for
the whites. The whites organized into
militia companies and the blacks were terror
lied. A showing is made of something like
dity blacks as murdered within three weeks
immediately preceding the election. They
are represented found hanging in some
two to a tree, in others as hanging to
gate posts, and in others again as found in the
fields through the agency of the turkey buz-
yards feeding on their remains. The parish,
-lthal, Is shown to have actually gone Re
publican by better than 600 majority, but
has been counted for the Democrats. The
United States Commissioner, too, seems to
have been forced to leave The showing for
1eEsas Is still worse, the number of killed
being claimed at not less than 100 No Re
publican organizations being possible, no at
tempt was made in consequence to put Re
publican ticket in the field. The atfidavits of
actual facts are certainly specific, and in view
Of the late utterances of the President are
likely to play their part.
