4 Wonderful Spring in Sumier.

About eight miles from the city of
Sumter, one hundred yards in the
swamp from the eastern bank of Po-
cotaligo, on the lands of J. T. Scurry,
is situated a most wonderful spring of
water possessing, unquestionably, re-
markable medicinal properties. The
land on which the spring is situated
is part of the Scurry homestead and
has been owned by that family for
more than one hundred and thirty
years According to family tradition
the medicinal value of the water has
been known for that length of time.
Tom Scurry, q valiant soldier under
Marion in revolutionary times, dressed
and bathed his Tory inflicted wounds
in its healing flood.
The waters come straight fom the
bowels of the earth, the depth being
unfathomable. Easy of access. it has
been,resorted tt0hy to the people of the
Concord community -ihandred
years, and has invariably proven un.
failing as cure for diseases of the
skin, wounds, sore eyes. and blood
affections. It seems a specific for
diseases of the blood The water
looks pure and clear when first taken
from the spring, but when left expos
ed to the air for time yellow scum
settles on the surface
\ Jug of the water has been sent to
this Office to be transmitted to the
Department of Agriculture for analy-
sis, which we will publish when re.
ceived from the Department.
The taste of the water IS not unlike
that of rain water and does not dis
close the presence of any mineral
known to US.
It is rather remarkable that the eX-
istence of spring of water possessing
the medicinal properties claimed for
this Scurry spring should. have been
so long concealed from all except
those in it's immediate vicinity.
The water of the famous Bromine-
Arsenic springs of Virginia does not
bretray to the taste the presence OF
any mineral. The properties were
only discovered by chance use as
drinking wafer by the proprietor of
the springs. 1t may be that We have
something in our midst quite cqua1 to
these wonderful springs of Virginia.

From St. Louis Journal of Agriculture. ]

From st. Louis Journal of Agricultural
There are many foes to success in
farming as well as in every other bust
ness, but there is none SO certain to
hinder success as ignorance. The ig-
norant man, the man who does not
keep himself informed about every
thing that concerns his business, is al.
most certain to make a failure of it.
In every business of a commercial or
financial nature, the wide-awake, sue
cessfu men are sure to take one pa
per or more, published in their line of
business. They feel that they must
know everything going on in the
world that may interest them, or they
cannot keep up the rest. But in far
ming how different it is. 1t is proba
bic that not one farmer in ten takes
and reads an agricultural paper.
Then how do they expect to "keep up
with the profession" There are many
simple facts that would be of immense
value if they only knew them, but as
long as they will not read they must
remain in ignorance. Take for in.

TONIC AND NERYINE /

/ do not hesitate to recommend Mrs.
Joe Persons Remedy as the finest tonic
I ever used. At the time / commenced
its use, I had no appetite for anything,
never could eat a moulhful for breakfast,
and had to force myself to eat, as nothing
tasted natural. I was also so nervous |
could get nc natural sleep, waking at
every sound. I commenced with a tea
spoonful, and gradually increased the
dose. Three weeks use of the Remedy
worked wonders, my appetite became
natural, I could eat anything I wanted
and relished it, my sleep became sound
and natural, a band of music would hardly
wake me now. My general health is ex-
~cellent, better than it has been in ten
years, and this change is owing solely to
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy, as I took no
other. AS a tonic and nervineit cannot

The Farmers Alliance Warehouse a. Dur
ham, N. C.,
Under the management of Jno. W. Pope,
has been on a regular boom
since its opening.

This house was opened for the sale of
tobacco, on the 9TH day of February, 1889,
and from that date till the first day of
May saved to the farmers $1,4l1.61 by
reduced charges, and at the same time
sold every pound of tobacco for full mar
ket value. This warehouse has no special
pets who are paid fictitious prices for
their tobacco in order to get them to
drum for it in their neighborhood, but all
tobacco sells strictly upon its merits; the
rich and poor, high and low, black and
white all get the top Of the market, Then
why not sell your tobacco where you get
full prices, and save yourselves thousands
of dollars annually? Stand by the Dur
ham market and the Farmers Alliance
Warehouse, and the Durham buyers will
stand by you. m142t
