1t is with regret that we have to
record another financial break in the
business circles of Abilene. The fall
ure Of the Abilene bank of Lebold q
Fisher was enough for this year. but
today brought forth another failure of
similar character which, coming as it
does SO soon after the former, will add
considerably to the load of the city's
misfortune. 1t is never pleasure to a

of today's failure with as much reluc-

now, | wish to dispute with you, for
we have one in Sumter that is far
the superior of either; his name is

a trained dog for the occasion who
starts the hogs or cattle from the pen
after they have gotten from fifty to a
hundred yards the start he puts his
horse in full speed, draws his Smith

succession, and thus proceeds to cut
an underbit in one ear and swallow
fork in the other, leaving hole in
each ear with swallow fork in the
right and an underbit in tho left of
each ear. His employer has been sat

His Weak Point.

The other day a young London doc
tor, who, doubtless from some scien-
tific or other high motive, had declined
to- pay bill, had distress" served
upon him in the most ingenious man
ner. His intelligence had long defied
the bloodhounds of the law, but the
brokers man alone was one too many
for him. The doors were locked, the
windows bolted, the area gate impreg-
nable; but the genius to whom had
been intrusted the task of entering the
castle was equal to the occasion. What
he looked for was 1.-The motive"-that
is, the motive which would be most
likely to induce II young doctor to
open his door; and he found it in IA
patient" He drove up to the door in
cab as a chronic but well to do in
valid. Swathed in flannel he tottered
up the steps, and when the sympathiz-
ing physician let him in and was about
to inquire into his case, he replied:
Summons, sir; I'm the brokers' man. "

Inconsistent Man.

It is all nonsense to tell women not
to mako up" They will do it, and
we must confess that some are posi-
lively repulsive mostly because they
endeavor to do away entirely with all
the dainty accessories so necessary to
a charming and attractive toilet. The
trouble is that so many silly women in
their anxiety for self improvement
overreach the mark which divides re-
fined elegance from grotesque vulgar
ity. The fault lies not so much in the
use of some one or moro articles to
improve defects. but the way in which
they are used. All the men are so
fearfully inconsistent That is the
trouble.
How often they are heard to declare,
in terms most emphatic, that woman's
greatest charm is in being perfectly
natural. Now watch them, please,
when introduced to o. fascinating bit
of femininity. Do they stop to study
up cause and effects to find just what
has given that tinge of color to the
pretty white check, to inquire why the
eyes look so dark and brilliant as they
dance and sparkle beneath the curly,
fluffy bang4 OF course not. The in
consistent creature, man, realizes but
one thing. The girl is lovely, and he
who is so ready to condemn is also the
first to admire. The cute little woman
laughs IL her sleeve and goes on her
way rejoicing, feeling quite repaid for
the extra attention given TO her skill

A Doctor,s Mishnn.

A somewhat amusing incident lately
happened TO person who tried to
bring a man out of an epileptic parox-

mouth and upon his neck. After a
slight struggle, according to the ac-
count. the epileptic sank back appar-
entity dead, whereupon the manipu-
latoi' of the water became intensely
anxious, and placed his ear at the
mouth of the patient, who straight
way caught the ear between his teeth
and proceeded to chew it until sits

Consumn.ion Among Negroes.

1t is noted fact that four negroes
die in this section to one white per-
son. Consumption causes the greater
part of the deaths among the blacks,
which is quito a late disease among
them, and scientists say this is because
many of them do no manual labor
and consequently must suffer as do
the rich white people of the north,
who live in idleness and take no ex-
erclse except driving.-Fort Valley

The best medical writer's claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must he
non-irritating, easy of application, and one
that will, by its own action, reach all the re-
mote sores and liberated surfaces. The
history of the effort to treat catarrh during
the past few years obliges us TO admit that
only one remedy has completely met these
conditions, and that is Ely's Cream Balm.
This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered
catarrh as nothing else has done. and both
physicians and patients freely concede this
fact The more distressing symptoms
