How to CurS Rheumatism.

Mai. E. 5. White, of Gainesville, Maryland, had suffered from rheum- atIsm in the right shoulder for six teen years. The disease was com plicsted with indigestion and dys- pepsia. He consulted several physi- cians and used varions patent medi- cines without permanent relief. Relatives finally persuaded him to try course of s. $. 5. As to the result he writes as follows: After using six large bottles was entire ly well. The medicine got at the root of the disease and eradicated it. With the disappearance of the rheu matism also went the indigestion aud dyspepsia. have gladly rec commended your s. s. s. to my neighbors and countrymen, because 1 am convinced of it's efficacy, 1t having cured me in spite of all prej- udice."
 Rev. R. NJ. Pickens, the venerable President of the Methodist Protest ant Church of South Carolina, some years ago was attacked by neuralgia rheumatism, accompanied by erysip- elas. He suffered great pain. His appetite failed him and his heart be- came affected. The erysipelas broke out on his arm and hand. He used a great many kinds of medi- cine, but nothing gave relief. Fin ally he was persuaded to try the Swift Specific. In letter written from Greenville, President Pickens says: "I noticed decided improve ment while taking the first bottle. I continued it's use until had taken about one dozen bottles, when I found myself sound and we'll again, except a stiffness in my hand, 8 re. suit of the erysIpelas. While talk ing the medicine I gained on an av- craze two pounds of flesh per week. I think 5. S. s. a valuable medicine, and I frequently recommend it to my friends"
 Rev. O. W. Winkfield, of Union Point, Ga, suffered terribly for twelve years from articular and sci- atlc rheumatism. He consulted nu- merous physicians and tried all sorts of medicine. Finally he began talk ing the Swift Specific as forlorn hope, and by it's use he was entirely restored. He writes: II feel like a new man, 1 cannot attribute my mi raculous and perfect cure to any thing but the Swift Specific. l know that it alone cured ne, for nothing else had done me any good for twelve years. l owe my restoration and strength for labor and religious duties alone to this grand remedy, and gladly make this statement for the benefit of all sufferers from this most torturing disease -rheuma- tism."
 Mir. w. F. Daley, Advertising Agent of the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad, writes: "Infammatory rheumatism swelled my. legs and arms to twice their natural size. suffered excruciating pain. Your wonderful $. $. s. made complete cure"
 Major Sidney Herbert, editor of the Southern Cultivator and Dixie Farmer, Atlanta, Ga, writes: "I have fully tested the virtues of Swifts Specific, both as rheuina tism cure and tonic. It has done even more than it's proprletors claim for it."

Better DAYS.

The people Of Chiekasaw county
are in a better condition now than
since "the war" We do not mean
to say that they have more money,
but they are not in debt; the credit
system among farmers have been
"sit down on" and the pay as you
60 plan adopted. They have more
corn in the crib; better stock, and
afine prospect for a good crop this
year. Another thing worthy ofspe
cial mention is the Improvement in
the morals of the country. There
seems to Be q spirit of progress
manifested among all classes ofour
people. They are just now begin
ing to open their eyes to a system
OF living which enables them to
live at home in comfort, peace and
prosperity. Much of this change
for the better can be attributed to
the successful management of the
farmers organizations, which is
growing in strength and power day
by day. This class of people have
been managing their business poor
" for a number of years, and only
few were well.to-do, but the
scales have fell from their eyes, at
last, and they are on the road that
will lead 10 better times which
they have so long heard about that
was '.just ahead" and God speed
their efforts that our county may
keep pace with all things that
leads to success, and may peace,
prosperity and happiness come to
All honest toilers of the land

desire space in yosr columns
20 make some announcement in re.
gard TO the next meeting OF the
Patrons Union. The Directors
have permanently located the Tn
ion at Lake Camp Ground, and
are now making extensive improve
ments and additions to the grounds
and buildings, with a view to have
them comfortable and attractive.
The grounds have been cleared off,
renewing all useless growths and
distractions" and a substantial
wire and plank fence inoloses the
entire eneampment. Inside this
Enclosure will be ample room for
the stock and wagons that people
bring and thus they win be pro-
tected from intrusion or escape,
should any "get loose" thereby
insuring their safety. The water
works is being considerably i'm.
proved and il is believed that the
supply will be ample for all the
purposes Of the grounds. The
Pavilion and Exhibition Hall are
being improved and stalls prepared
for all kinds of stock carried there
to be exhibited. These improve
ments, which were considered in
despensible, if we propose 10 be
progressive and enhance the CON-
forts and protection of our meet
ing, have caused a necessary out
lay OF about $4,000. To meet
these expenses and others that will
accrue; in addition to the sale of
privileges, the Directors have ar
ranged to have a GATE FEE of IS
cents for each individual over l2
years old and S1.OO for families Of
four or more persons. All chill.
dren under the age OF ~ years and
ministers Of the gospel admitted
free. The Directors have gone
forward and made these improve
ments feeling that the public who |
meet here each year, will appreci-
ate their labOrs and generously aid |
them in meeting the expenses. /
also desire to call attention 10 other
new features, which we have not
had on former occasions. The ex-
tensive premium list offered this
year should attract a great deal Of
attention from farmers, gardeners,
housekeepers, manufacturers and |
all others who desire to aid in en-
haneing the material prosperity of
our country. The attention ofthe
young ladies and gentlemen Of the
State is especially called TO the
proposition TO give a gold medal to
the one who excels in Recitation
and Defamation. This is a rare
opportunity offered our young
Iolks, which they can't afford to
miss; as it will be q source OF great
even though some
fail to win. The general exercises
of the eneampment will be of unu.
sual interest. Besides reports of
committees, essays, &C., subjects Of
general and practical importance
will be fully discussed. Distingu.
shed and able speakers from diff
ferent parts of the State and out
side the State will be present and
lid in making the meeting both
profitable and pleasant. Among
