Why l. W. Harper's Nelson County

in the manufacture of the Harper, the
large Capital OF the Distiller which
enables him to hold his Whiskey un~

the fact that the Whiskey is bought

The Fairies, Climax.

A mortal who had saved Fairy
Queen from an Ogre was offered
three gifts. 1t was woman. She
asked first for a dress, TO be gold, sill
very or azure, as she wished, and to
be only one garment. II came at
last, glorious changeable silk.
She asked second. for the means TO
talk with her husband, whs was miles
away, and get his mind about the
supper, and to tell him how the
baby was every ten minutes. The
Fairies gave it in the telephCne.
She asked next for a new Southern
paper. 1t must be on pearly tinted
paper. 1t must be in small, new type,
but easily read while she rocked the
cradle. 1t must give her dollar;
worth of nice music in every number,
and only cost one dollar and u quarter
year. 1t must give away another
dollar in the music of her own choice,
III the best sheet form. 1t must have
a poem about the Hero Dead, over
whom nightly the Fairies of the
South weep dewy tears. Unjust have
q new serial story ABOUT such great
floods as now aesolate many lands,
and about two hearts d.ifted together,
helped by good old black woman.
1t must have a Christian poem, and
the best of reading. 1t must have a
fine picture, and give her chance to
get Sewing Machine and Piano,
free.
The Fairies held meeting and said
it couldn't be done Two kind NOR
tails, named Ludden and Bates, found
the Fairy Queen crying at the Savan-
nah Fountain. and agreed to help her.

FOR THE CURE OF
Fever and Ague
.CHlLLS & FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated
medicine jbstly claims for 1t superb
ority over all remedies ever offered TO
the public for the SAFE CERTAIN
AND PERMANENT cure of Ague
and Fever, or chills and Fever whether
of short or long standing. lie refers TO
the entire Westerr and Southern conn
try to bear him testimony TO tho truth
of the assertion that III no case what
ever will it fail to cure ifthe directions
are strictly followed and carried out.
In great many cases q single dose has
been sufficient for cure, and whole
families have been cnred by single
bottle. with a perfect restoration OF the
general health. 1t is however prudent,
and in every case more certain to cure,
if its use is continued in smaller doses
for a week or two after tho disease has
been checked, more especially III
difficult and long-standing cases.
Usually this medicine will net require
any aid to keep the bowels in good or
der. Should the patient, however,
require carthetic medicine, after
having taken three or four doses OF the
Trnic, single dose of BULLS NEt-
ETABLE FAMILY PILLS Will be
sufficient. ,,

Messrs Nicely & Arnold, the we'll

full supply. They pay cash and get
the discounts, and hence sell at moder-

Schema Fetter.

The fame of this most popular de-
butante long preceded her arrival in
our midst. A large and enthusiastic
audience, consisting of the elite and
culture of Jackson society, greeted her
appearance at Kings Opera House on
Monday night last. The character
chosen by the clever young actress
was Mariana, in Sheridan Knowles
pIav of 1.-THE Wife," The selection
was a most happy one, and the per-
sonation of the character was brilliant.
Her wonderfully combined dramatic
powers, matches intelligence and
culture which she so abundantly pcs
sesses were brought into requisition
with splendid effect. The perform
ance was meritorious in every way,
frequently eliciting raPturous applause
from the cnthused audience. Con-
spicuous among others was j. ii.
Huntley, who has played here before
and is we'll known and was warmly
received. The judgment of every
one who heard Miss Fetter is unanim-
GUS in her favor, and we anticipate
for her a most prominent position
among the stars of the first magnitude.
