HER HEALTH WAS RnIMED.
Her Life Mas One of Pain, But She is
Now Well.

Mrs Alexander Vaughn, wife of one of the
most prominent and extensively known
merchants of Prescott, Ark, writes the fol-
lowing letter under date of April %, 1889:
Il owe the preservation of NY life under
Providence to Swift's Specific 6. $. 81
For four years my health was wretched,
ruined-my life, a life Of constant p&in and
misery and torture. Food soured on my
stomach, and what I ate to-day I would
vomit Tomorrow My sleep at night was
broken with the most horrible visions in
dreams, so much so. that ! could not bear to
be left alone; chronic diarrhna, a painful
cough that threatened me with consumption;
my feet and ankles were twisted out of all
proportion, and my limbs swelled more or
less. I could not walk except on a level
floor, and then with difficulty, and for
while could not get in or out OF bed without
assistance.
The pressure Of finger on my body
would leave its impression, and in short /
thought I had dropsy, in addition to my
other Affections.
Two doctors treated me faithfully during
these four years but did me no Sool-the
they gave me were rs useless as
stagnant water. My friends thought would
die, suffering as was with such 4 combina-
ton Of diseases.

terry to ne how steer could turn his

ed. Just as I gave myself up for
lost we were brought to stand-still,
the yoke removed from my bruised
and bleeding neck, and T was again
led before the Grand Tycoon, who
consolingly addressed me thusly:
''Benighted brother, seeking wis
dom, tho lesson You have just re-
ccived is to impress upon your mind
the sad truth that you are but a beast
of burden for the commercial world.
The merchant has ayoke Of seryitude
upon your neck, and you can only
look for relief to Farmers Alliance

between cash and credit"
was again taken in hand by two
merchants, who forcibly tied strong
cord around each of my thumbs, and
in 4 twinklipg I WAS suspended to a;
ridse-pole That yelled with pain
and begged for mercy, it is needless
to add. One of my torturers demand
ed to know how much cash [ would
pay him to be released. I offered all
the money in my pocket, which was
35 cents. He agreed to let me down
for 81 cash OF SO on credit, secured
by mortgage, lien, deed Of gift and
waiver note OF my farm, stock, wife
and children. I eagerly accepted, and
on being released stepped up to the
table, and in the presence Of two wit
nesses signed the paper. was then
led before the officer astride the worm
fence, who explained the Thumb
Swinging degree as follows:
'Benighted brother, the ordeal
which you have just passed through
is administered for the purpose OF re-
minding you that there is a broad
difference between buying for cash
and buying on credit One dollar in
hand would have saved you from all
that misery; but for a lack OF the
ready cash you were forced to pay ten
times the required sum. This is the
last degree we will administer to You
at this meeting. There are yet sew
cnteen other degrees required, Illus
trating the different trials in a farm
ers' life, before you are Il full-blown
member of the Alliance. I will state
that they are somewhat severer than
the limitations through which you have
passed, but you will muster mp the
resolution to bear them
Well, continued Mckeever, [ am
entirely satisfied with my Alliance ex-
perience, and I don't think there is

enough to draw me to another meet

CONFEDERATE PENSIONERS.

The Confederate Survivors Assocl-
alton of Clarendon county met last
Monday, in the court house, at l2.ao
O'Clock, Mr.. ". J. Clark, presi-
dent. Rev. H. ". Mahoney opened
the meeting with prayer. On account
of the short time in which notice OF
the meeting was given, there was a
small attendance, and it was decldea
to adjourn till Monday Oct. 2lst'
when it is hoped there will be a large
attendance.
This is subject that ought to IN
terest us all, and every Confederate
veteran should endeavor to be present.
Let the notice be generally extended,
talk about it to yoar neighbor, get
him interested in the meeting, and
let the court house be crowded with
old Confederate soldiers at the next
meeting. The main object OF the
meeting is to canvass the list OF pen
sioners, and decide if all on that list
are under the law entitled to receive
q pension; also, to see if all who are
really deserving pension are among
the list of pensioners.
Another object, and one we hope Will
be carried out, is to form a Survivors
Association. The company reunions
are good things and ought to be kept
up, but the desire is to go a step
further, and to have County SurVlv-
ors' Association, an organization COM
posed of all in the county who served
in the war. Such an organization will
tend to draw the old soldiers closer
together, and will prove source OF
great pleasure to its members.
Let everybody come out to the
meeting next Monday week, October
2lst.

NOVEMBER %, 1889.
How it Will be Done.

Five prominent gentlemen from different
sections of the county will be requested to
give away the prizes in the following man
ner, which IS exactly the same plan used at
our last Grand Gift Distribution the 4th OF
last July:
These gentlemen will place in one box
number of tickets equal to the number OF
subscribers who have paid up to Sep. !,
1890, all of which tickets will be blank ex-
cept the prize tickets. They will then place
in another similar box an equal number OF
tickets, containing the names ofthe paid up
subscribers one name on each ticket. After
the tickets have been carefully Inspected
and placed in the boxes, they will be thor
oushly shaken up and mixed together, IN
I'll the committee is satisfied that everything
is fair and Just. Then the drawing Will
BEGIN. Two little boys about four or five
wears old will be blindfolded, and one will
draw from the box containing the names OF
tbo noid ur subscribers and the other from
the box COuCtlIlllS lAS eASAN~s0'
mittee Will at every drawing Zone from each
box) inspect the tickets that have been
5rown and announce the result. For IN
stance, suppose the little boys have each
lyawn ticket from their respective boxes.
The name drawn by one little boy is Always
r,oseuu.. and the ticket drawn by the other
is blank That means Mr.. A. Loseum has
failed to secure prize. The little boys draw
again. Til, name is Lucky Fellow and the
prize ticket has $40 in gold on 1t. Ihat
means Mr.. L. Fellow has secured the sloln
GOLD for his prize. The drawing Will thus
continue till all the prizes have been gwen
away. -,
This plan seems to us as fair as possible
and to have the least objections. Our SUBJ
scribers may rest satisfied that everything
will be done in fairness.

Stick to Your own.

There are some people in almost ev-
cry town or community who persist in
buying what they need away from
home. Such persons are not helps
they ought and could be to their town.
The following remarks on this subject
from an exchange are so apropos that
we give them for the benefit of our
readers:
You would be surprised to see a
list OF people who persist in this fool
ish policy Some of them honestly
believe they are getting things cheap
er. They are ignorant. Others think
things are more elegant because
they come from abroad. They are
snobs.
Now look at it. You send to New
York OF go there to buy set of fur
niture. You do not know where togo
You are at the mercy of a dealer who
sizes you up and charges you two Or
three puces. Your town merchant
goes there, he knows where to trade.
He understands where to get the best
furnitare for the least money. He
buys large lot Of it and ten to one
he can sell you the Identical furniture
cheaper than you bought 1t in New
York.
There is patriotic lesson il this.
You will find that you will save mon-
ey by purchasing your articles at
home. You are sustaining q legitl-
mate business, building up q good
store, making your town good mar
ket, aiding in lowering the prices and
increasing the quality and variety Of
goods; you are doing the best thing
for your own pocket and your pros
perity. Give your town dealer a
chance; favor him with your order. L. If
he hasn't got what you want he Will
get ii. The way to get the best goods
for the least money is to buy them at
home. The way to build up your
city is to trade at home. The way to
serve yourself and help your neighbor
is to buy at home. Don't roast your
town. Just believe that whatever you
get in your town is better than any
thing yon can get elsewhere-which
| is probably tue, and you will not re-
gret it.

peculiar methods OF voodoo
doctor practicing at Madison, Ga,
are thus described: When he begins
his practice on patient he gets pot
and fills it with water and roots and
puts it OF the FIRE to boil. While the
water boils he gets out in the floor
and shakes himself and says: I'm a
buzzard, Tn crow, I'm an eagle,
I'm kingfsher," then goes over a
lot of unintelligible ;ncantations. He
then makes the patient look into the
pot of boiling water until he can see
the one who tricked him. The pa
tient is visited frequently at night The
pot with roots and medicines is boiled
and the patient must undergo thor
ough rubbing with the contents Of
the pot, while the doctor, doing the
rubbing, goes over his incantations.
