Sore Ewes

The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids infiamed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced painful in
hammatiOn in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for number of years. By the
advice of a physician 1 commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine short time was completely
Cured
Ny eyes are now in a splendid condi-
ton, and am as well and strong as ever.
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, n. n.
For number of years was troubled
with humor in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any relief until 1 commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medi-
cine has effected complete cure, and I
believe it to be the best of blood puri-
fers. E. Upton, Nashua, N. n.
From childhood, and until with few
months, 1 have been afflicted with Weak
and Sore Eyes. 1 have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results,
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and consider it a
great blood purifier. Mrs. c. Phillips,
Glover, vt.
I suffered for a year with infamma-
tion in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, depriving me of sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, Twas final
ly induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla.
BY Taking
three bottles of this medicine have been
entirely cured. My sight has been re-
stored, and there is no sign of inflamma-
ton, sore, or ulcer in my eye. Kendall
T. Bowen, Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio.
My daughter, ten years old, was afflict-
ed with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During
the last two years she never saw light of
any kind. Physicians of the highest
standing exerted their skill, but with no
permanent success. On the recommen-
dation of friend 1 purchased bottle of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, which my daughter
commenced taking. Before she had used
the third bottle her sight was restored.
Her cure is complete. w. E. Suther-

GIRL OF GIRLS.

Here's girl of girls,
Teeth as white as pearls,
Breath of palm aud rose
When her lips unclose.
Look, how straight she walks,
List, how sweet she talks;
Beauty, grace, and youth
Crown her for truth;
And along her way
Friends flock day by day,
Dropping at her feet
Showers of praises sweet.
Beauty, grace and youth
Easy tits, fOrsOoth,
With such gifts as these,
Friends to gain and please.
Dark-eyed Envy cries,
Looking sadly wise
AS she walks apart,
With a burning heart.
Beauty, grace and youth
All these gifts. in truth,
Once were Envy's own,
Yet she walks alone,
Walks in sullen pride
On the other side,
Brooding as she gees
Over petty woes.
Little hates and spites,
Fancied wrongs and sights,
Which have made her life
Dark with daily strife.
Who would care, indeed,
Follow such lead,
Though 'twere Beauty's own,
Beckoned from her throne?
Sweet words set to deeds
Sweeter still, are seeds
Flowering day by day
All along her way,
Till to follow where
She doth lightly fare,
Is to set ones feet
In a garden sweet
OF all her dear delights,
Where from heavenly heights
Friendly breeZes bring
Rest and pleasuring.

The Railroad Strike.

A number of railroad strikers have been ar
rested throughout the West and will he pros
ecuted TO the full extent of the law for felony,
conspiracy and interfering with the running
of trainS.-C0lun,6t6 Record.
For our own part, we would say that we
hope an example will be made of the ring
leadeadcrs of the great strike. 1t will not be
denied that every man, employed by any Of
the railroads, had a perfect right to quit work
at any time when not under contract, but no
law w-ahiding citizen can endorse their acts of
lawlessness. They derserve punishment for
breaking the engines and throwing them
from the tracks. For destroying bridges or
doing any injury to any other property they
should be severely punished. For using force
to prevent other men from taking the places
which they had vacated, they deserve TO suf'
fer, and we trust that deserved Justice Will be
meted out to them. Lawlcss strikers should
be taught that property has right to protec-
tion in this country, and we know of no bet
ter time TO teach the lesson than now. If the
laws of the country are not sufficient to pun
ish these destroyers of property and outrage
Gus intcrferers with the rights of others, then
we think it time to provide protection to labor
and capital.
While ii is matter Of perfect right for
any man to quit the service OF any cor
poration, yet the presumption Of forbid
ding others to take the places which they al
lege they do not want Is not to Ire tolerated.
If this country can protect us In the posses
sion of money, or can afford the guaranteed
protection to the laborer, then it ought to do
1t, and it ought to punish the ringleaders III

The attention of our citizens is asked to the
call of the corporators Of the Monroe, Chester
and Abbevile Railroad, which is to take
place in the Court House Thursday afternoon
Mt halfpast five o'clock. The prospects of
this road are really good, and If we only do
our part, we shall be able 10 secure one of the
best lines of road that run across the country,
and it will not be forgotten the best and most
prosperous roads do not now run directly
from the Blue Ridge with the water to the
sea. If we give a reasonable subscription
along the line, we will :hen secure the last
road thatwill be built in this part of the coun.
try for many day. From the anxiety of our
people to do their whole duty to the town and
county which they love so we'll. we know
Abbevi!le and Greenwood will do their whole
dnty.
AS far as we are informed, there is not O
man in all the town who is opposed to the
building of this great road.
