 11G & 118 EAST 14th STREET.
 NEW YORK, May 18th, 1883. I have bsea troubled with an Irritation of the Throat and Cough for some time, I am also a martyr to Dyspepeia. By the advice of very learned physician I applied two AL1cocK's PoRoUs PLAsTERs to my chest and one on the pit of my stomach. In three days my Cough was cured and my Throat was well. I have now worn the Plasters two weeks, and my appetite and digestion have much improved. I am confident that in another week my Dyspepsis will be entirely removed. I have never used so pleasant and agreeable remedy in my life. THOS. MATHEWS.

Billy Vests Short Married Life.
 CLEVELAND, Dec. 23-Billy West, the jun for of the minstrel firm of Thatcher Primrose and West now performing here. told for the first time the story of his two months welded life with May Templeton, the opera singer, who with company of her own is playing this week in Cincinnati. Said he: f When l (being then with Haverly's Minstrels) first saw her in '75, she was then @ mere girl. She heard me remark her beauty and was impressed. Three years later we met, were introduced, and her mother granted me leave to correspond with her. We courted and were engaged by letter and were to wed in 1884. May being displeased with her fathers ideas in organizing new troupe, wrote me in Cincinnati last May, suggesting an imme- diate marriage. With desire to accommo- date I acceded and we married at Nashville. She was to remain on the opera stage only another year. She was bright, vivacious, 8 perfect lady, an ideal wife in many respects. but while in Chicago we discovered an in compatibility of temper which would pre- clude the possibility of domestic happiness. We simply saw that we had mistaken sud- den enamor for love and that we were not suited for each other. There was no violent rupture, indeed we are good friends. We mutually agreed to separate, and neither of us since sought to malign the other. I ex- pect my bill of divorce on the grounds of in compatibility and desertion, from 8 Chicago court the first week in January"

The public highways throughout the

to. that portion Of tito Rocky Mount

also, to the fact That this piece of road
has been noticed hy this as well as by

other, matter " hich appears to us TO
be worthy OF notice III this connection.
is the fAct that since the adoption of
the "no-fence law" planters Bio in
cilned to throw old rails, trash, etc., in
tho road. We urge that the road bo
more, particularly looked after in tho
future.
We would. also call attention to the
matter Of tho boundary line between

a Happy Gathering Of tho Pupils and

'ation, and in company with friend,
Mr., J:.B. Cloud, I attendcd, May 25th,
near tho Fairfield line, in Kershaw
county, May party, which was orig
mated and carried out ty Mrs. Sim
mons in connection with her day
school. 1t was success in the highest
degree. The pupils acquitted them
selves alike with credit to their efficient
and amiable teaclcr, and to oil con-
cerned. The whole affair, in it's con-
ception and carrying oHt, showed the
.prcccptrcss to be an adept in such OK
crcises. The audience was large, COM
posed of young and old people. from
Fairfield and Kcrshaw; and it was q
noticeable fact that old grew young
again: We were. highly enterlaimea
with sweet music, both Instrumental
and vocal. The place of meeting was
in a beautiful grove, at the base of
which Flowed a bubbliug brook, and
ahc grounds being decorated with low, :
~ flowers by fair hands lent charm
to tho surroundings: These things
caused the writcr TO call mp unbiddcn
that impressive quotation, "Thc grow os
were Gods first tcmpcs". Then at
eleven O'Clock came tho May queen,
escorted by her attendants, who
crowned her, queen BY adjoining her
brow with fSoral wreath, paying her
compliments with flowers in tributes
of song and in poetic rccitations. More
than one bachelor that day in gazing
upon the fair face OF the Queen ielt his
heart go "pit7a-p pat"
After the ceremonies, then came q
superb dinner of the finest variety.
All were. satisfied with this; and tic
rcmaiDdor of tho day was spent In
chatting and i'm listening to-. sweet
music by the string band and singing
by tho ladies'. Parents, ncighbors,
children and friends. were all made
happy by this social exercise, and Sec
ing it's fruits it makes the writer. wish
that all communities would realize tho
true necessity for such means Of rccre-
alton; then all concerned would be
made happier and the burdens of life
made lighter.
Mrs. Siminoiis, has dolic q good work
for the community in which sic has
taught this year; her influence is felt,
and any community may feel itself
highly, hono.red. to have her for teach-
er. We wcGH delighted with tho hos
pitality OF the people Of Flat Branch
