The Gem of the Piedmont"

In tho Ners and Courier of the 4th inst,
is a graphic description Of the town Of
Union, from the pen Of our talented young
friend, Capt. L. =. McKissick, profusely il
lustrated with the familiar faces of many Of
our prominent citizens, with a condensed
outline of the life aud character Of each.
The Captain has crowde into the limited
space allowed him q large amount Of good
work for his native town, and presented to
the public much valuable information con-
cerning this "Gem Of the Piedmont" that
has scarcely been known far beyond it's
corporate limits.

SVnjon, fuily appreciate stiss importents ser,

many attractions, comforts and advantages,
in the columns of Journal that has read
ers in almost every important town in every
quarter of the globe; and We confidently
expect much good will accrue to the town
from it.
One thing, however, puzzles us : We hat
thought that We carried about rs good look
ing a face as any man in town, but the H.
lustrations in the Ners and Courier ha
knocked that idea completely out Of oul
head; and we know there are many mucf
better looking men in Union than those
represented (?) in that paper.

That Tired Feeling.

You cannot always tellsWhat may
be its cause Possibly it may be due
to change Of season, climate or life;
possibly to overWork or overstudy,
to mental suffering, nervousness or
various bodily ailments. But there
is no mistaking its effects. You
know you are almost tired to
DEATH without strength to do any
thing; You have no appetite, do not
care about food, and only eat be-
cause it is the hour for eating,or from
force Of habit.
This must be stopped. Your con
dition must be changed at once, or
like a ship drifting with the inward
tide, you will soon be dashed upon
the rocks of incurable disease and
death. Rouse the torpid liver and
kidneys, tone the digestive organs,
create a new appetite, purify and
vitalize the impure and sluggish
blood, cure the headache and over
come all the prostrating effects of
That Tired Feeling. by taking
Hoods Sarsaprilla. 1t is just what
you need, and to delay taking it is

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is onl, one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition
OF the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube When this tube gets inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, aud when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever, nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrah, which is nothing but
an infIamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by Ca
tarrah) that we can not cure by taking
Halls Catarrah Cure. Send for circulars

who have access to newspapers at

my being a unit, and a citizen of
this glorious republic ? I can under
stand getting the names Of all the
dead relatives Of d fellow who lives
in town which wants to run up a
record population, because those
relatives can then be counted as live
citizens, and SO swell the record,
but our town doth not banker after

The summer vacation beginneth,
and we all HE us to different parts
of the universe, to seek-well, [ do
not exactly know what we are going
to seek-but life is one seeking af-
ter something, and we are living.
Some of US have ploughed, are
ploughing, and will plough the briny
pillows of ocean, and have fed, are
feeding, and will feed the fishes, as
we have leaned, are leaning, and
will lean over the bulwarks, while
we have wished are wishing, and
will wish that there were DO more
sea, no more sailing. For myself |
wish that l were going to the sea-
side. Once in every two or three
years there comes over me an ire
sistible longing to see the mighty
ocean, to watch the merry twinkle
Of the smiling waves, and to listen
to the loud booming of the long ev-
erlasting pillows, and to hear the
dragging sound of the waves on the
beach as they flow in and among
the rocks and pull down on the
backward flow the stones and sand.
I have joyous recollections of the
ocean, and it makes me better
man to be near it, and enjoy all the
charms of a sea- side vacation, but it
can be done, you know, this year.
