 Takes 1000 people to buy Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, at 50 aents a bottle, to make up $500 One failure to cure would take the profit from 4000 sales. Its mak- CTS profess to cure 'tcold in the head, y and even chronic catarrh, and if they fail they pay $500 for their over confidence,
 Not in newspaper words but in hard cash P Think of what confidence it takes to put that in the papers-and mean it.
 It's makers believe in the remedy. Isn't 1t worth a trial? Isn't any trial preferable to catarrh
 After all, the mild agencies are the bests Perhaps they work more slowly, but they work surely. Dr. Pierce's Pleas ant Pellets are an active agency but quiet and mild. They're sugar-coated, easy to take, never shock nor derange the sys- tenn and half their power is the n id way in which their work is done. Smallest, cheapest, easiest to takes One dose Twenty-Five cents vial. Of all druggists. x Coop AND RKLIABLR.---A good and re- liable family medicine is Sulphur Bitters.

SENATOR BUTLER'S SPEECH.
Augusta Chronicle.

Senator Buffers speech at Prosperity,
S. G., Wednesday, in reply to DR..
Stokes, president of the South Carolina
Alliance, has the merit of being con-
servative. clear and forceful. The
Chronicle of to-day contains the full
text Of it from The Columbia State.
We commend it to the careful atten-
ton of our readers, fully satisfied that
it affords common ground for all men
who love the South and the Democratic
party to stand upon.
Senator Butler shows very conclu-
sively that the sub-treasury bill is i'm
practicable, un-Democratic and uncon-
stitutional, but he recognizes the griev-
ances from which the farmers of the
country suffer from the policy of con-
traction pursued by the Republican
party, from the wasteful extravaganza
of the Republican administration and
from the excessive and unfair burdens
of Federal taxation, which they are
made to bear.
He proposes to remedythe evils COM
planned of. He favors the free coinage
ofsilver and sufficient increase of the
currency for the wants ofthe business
of the country. He favors the reduction
fthe tariff. and the cutting down OF
the expenses of the COVE nment, thus
leaving the money that is now wruug
from thepeople by excessive taxation
onthe 0ecessaries of life in their pockets.
He believes that the spirit of reform
and revolt against Republi :an NAL
administration, as evidenced through
out the country by the election last fall

She could sing and she could play,
She could dance from night till day,
She could while the away away,
So It's said:
She could skate and she could paint,
She could play the patron saint,
But she couldn't and she wouldn't
Make bed.
She could walk eight miles day
And play tennis charmingIy,
Flirting in saucy way,
Little scamp!
She could drive and play base ball,
She could make stylish call,
But she couldn't and she wouldn't
Clean a lamp.
She could swim and she could row,
She could always have beau,
And i'r; sure that We all know
She was shy.
She could laugh and she could prance
She could play game Of chance,
But she couldn't and she wouldn't
Make pie.
She could etch and write book,
She could vanish with a look;
She could win by hook or crook,
I confess;
She could scod and she could fout,
She could cry and she could poHt,
But she couldn't and she wnulGn'
Make dress.
She couldn't talk Of church affairs,
But knew naught ofhousehold cares;
Still I'm sure that none compares
With stweet Nan;
Even if she couldn't bake
Bread and pies and angel cake,
She enraptured and she captured

Talbert and the Third Party.

COLUMBIA, S. c., July SIN the :e-

stated his position as follows:
"He who says I am in favor Of a
third party, or that 1 ever advocated a
third party, is liar and the truth is
not in him.
"Whenever the Democratic party
fails to BE- the party OF the people it will
then be time enough to discuss such
questions appertaining to change"

South Carolina
We are encouraged by the substance
ana reception of Senator Buffers speech
to predict that the farmers OF South
Carolina will remain solid for Demo
cratic integrity and supremacy in State
and national elections.
His speech was favorably received by
his people, which shows that, while
they demand relief, they look for it to
the Democratic party and not to the
third party nor their malignant polit!-
cal enemy, the Republican party.

Having no memory for time or things,
Unwatchfu Of the passing of the seasons
Unmindful OF the huttering of wings.
And visit not that through all the winter
weather
AS yer me the snow its white net weaves,
As sharp winds whistle down the barren
passes,
My gaunt arms hunger for the coming leaves,
And long once more to see the buds run riot
Among my lchened branches bare and gray,
To hear again the nesting birds 90 wooing
Adown my borders ali the liveong day.
My leaves give welcome when the birds wing
homeward
From Southern winter into Northern spring,
And in the late fall days the same leaves linger
To see the last bird southwark turn its wing
When through the vanished years have for
gotten
In early spring to set my ways ALLOW,
To fling broad leaves adown the paths to
shelter
The lambs and children in the hot noon glowt
When through the vanished years have for.
gotten,
AS sharp frosts touch and scar the garden
ways,
And summers ample vintages are shrunken,
To bring my fruitage in the autumn daysi
Then think not am Away deaf and voiceiesS
Having no LIemory for bud and song.
For through my gnarled and barren branches
ever
The thoughts Of nesting birds and blossoms
throng.

Quite senpation was being felt here
over the two boys who were drowned in
the river. and most every one attended
the funeral services in the afternoon.
Cassville is another of the thriving
towns in Grant county, and, (though
not as rapid as Lancaster) is rapidly
improving. Its beautiful situation on
the Burlington road and the Mississippi
river makes it present beautiful APP
pearance. The river is now frozen
over and teams cross with safety. 1t
also affords an excellent skating place
for lovers of that sport. We met a
goodly aumber of Cassville's business
men, and they are all doing a thriving
business. making the dust from the
beautiful village % Cassville, we ar

where we found about a dozen of the
bows with guns IN their hands looking
for tramp who had made his appear
anee there in the morning. he had been
seen there several times during the
week. He pretended he was greatly
under the influence of liquor, but he
evidently meant mischief He started
out on run with several of the boys
after him, when he accidently turned
INTO an alley which came TO an abrupt
end against the bluff; when he fell
down, dead drunk, and couldn't
stand up. The boys brought him out
and laid him on the hotel porch. and
went inside to watch him through the
window, when he suddenly disappeared.
There were two other tramps seen there
the same day. From the descrip-

miscreants who took the over
coats out of the Wagner House in Ian

Considerable mining is being done

THE TIN-WEDDING.
1t Was a Pleasant Affair with the
Surprises Omitted

The Hornbill sitting-room was in a
state of confusion, with the furniture
out of place, umbrellas, wraps and
shoes about, and Mr. HornbilPs vest
hanging on the back of chair, while
Mr.. Hornbill himself was sitting read
ing the evening paper by the light of a
candle, because the old chandeliers
were down, and the new ones had not
yet been put up; and opposite him sat
Mrs Hornhill, reading magazine.
Tie Hornbill house was in this state of
ing and general repairing were in pro-
gress, preparatory to the wedding of
Mr. and Mrs. Hornbill, that was to be
celebrated the next night.
When Mrs. Hornbill had come to the
end of the chapter that she was reading
she said to her husband: "Horatio, do
you know what l have been thinking
about?'
Certainly do, he answered.
How bright you arel'
mo doubt of it, Hannah"
But how could you tell what / was
thinking about?'' she asked.
'On, Knew
Then tell me what it IS"
you were thinking of me, my DEAR
''Welli must say that you are full of
egotism."
''And why shouldn't be with such q
wife, who has made me happy for ten
years"
Nov you have 1t, Horatio for was
just wondering what the secret OF our
happiness was"
1T is easily accounted for" answered
her husband. 1T is because l am a rea-
sonable man, and my reason infiu-
ences you to be reasonable, and so we
have mu tual confidence. and all Of our
secrets are the joint property of both of
u.s."
At this Mr. Hornbill rose from his
seat to give his wife loving pat on
the cheek, and said: what a happy
time we will have tomorrow; but there
is a great deal Of work to be done yet.
By the way, have you heard from John
and Mary?"
Not yet" answered Mrs. Hornbil1;
but they viii surely be here, for we
couldn't get along without your sister
and my brother"
The conversation was interrupted by
the door-bell ringing, and Mr.. Horn
bill left the room, to return in minute
with one letter in his left hand, held
