ate plenty of it, ate till he was fun. 1t
was not very well cooked sometimes, and
he often ate fast.
When hunting or fighting n day would
often pass without anything being eaten
at all.
Yet he never had dyspepsia.
He never "dieted."
We hear too much about dieting"
these days.
A man usn't eat pic, or cabbage or
cake, or beans, or this and that.
He muSn I eat very much and he must do
II very slow. He must never drink when he
eats. He mustn't hurry. He mustn't worry,
And so il goes.
This is all very good advice But it
would worry a man to death to rcmem-
Ner it all. Why can't we live like the
indian in Il ealthy, hearty, natural way?
because we have such weak StOmachs.
But how did the Indian possess such per-
1ect strong, di:2ston: BY taking that
medicine of h.s, Sagwa, when ever he felt
there was anything wrong with him. That
Sagwa we have now employed him to

know what u weak stomach or dyspepsia
was.
Thanks to the efforts of the Kickapoo
Medicine Company, Indian Sagwa and
other kicSapoo Indian remedies are OBJ
tainable of any druggist and { cir genuine
curative value is beyond comparison.

Mrs. Ida F. Partridge, of Sycamore,
ILL.,, is an illustration Of what women
may do in horticulture, even starting
with small means. Beginning about five
years ago in very small way, having
only window garden, she has gradually
enlarged her business until now she has
five large greenhouses. In one Of these,
not long ago, 900 roses were in bloom at
once; in another, 10000 pinks. One is
devoted to chrysanthemums, and these
three flowers are Mrs. Partridge's spe-
cialty. She frequently ships to Chicago
and sometimes even to California.
The G. A. Reed Music House, Of this
city, has, in addition to the large stock OF
Pianos and Organs, splendid and well

The Easley Democrat of last week says:
"W are panied to have to announce the
death of that most excellent Christian
lady, Mrs. Sally Pickens, at her home in
Brushy Creek Township, Anderson
County. Mrs. Pictens, with her family,
lived q year in Easley four years back
and by her kind and Christian disposi..
ton she formed the warm attachment OF
all our people with whom she came in
contact. She was one of the kindest
neighbors we ever knew or lived by, and
her love and consideration for her family
was boundless. She was in the fifty-si1th
year of her age. She was daughter OF the
late W. D. Sitton, Esq, Of Brushy Creek
Township, Anderson County. She had
been for many years devoted and exem-
plary member OF the Methodist Church.
A husband, Mr.. Wesley Pickens, and
grown son, Mr.. Clarence Pckens, survive
her. Her remains were inferred in the
Pickens' graveyard in Anderson County,
and the funeral services were conducted
b. her pastor, the Rev. N. G. Ballenger." !"
The yaledictory service held in the Pres.
byterian Church last Sunday afternoon at
4 O'Clock to Rev. and Mrs. J. r. Edwards

Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards will leave for
Mexico, where they will engage in mis-
sionary work, on Thursday, 30th inst, the
former having volunteered his services as
missionary from the A. r. P. Church.
Mrs. Edwards has been raised up MEM
ber of the Presbyterian Church of this
city, and is the first of its members to go
into the missionary field. It was proper
then that this service should be held. The
exercises consisted Of an address from Mr.
Edwards, who spoke of the field and the
work he would have to do. Responses
