a MAYEsVILLE CENTEN-
NAL.
Mr.. Mcdonald Furman Suggests
That the Centennial Anniversary
Of Squire Mayes Birth be cele-
brated.

Mr. Editor: write to suggest another Cen
tennial-this time to be held at Mayesville.
On Nov. "a, 1874, Matthew Peterson Mayes
wss born in Virgins. He was soldier OF
the war of 1872, aud afterwards removed to
this county. Many who glance at these lines
will remember esquire Msyes." for he was a
man of prominence in this county, and was
one of those who represented il in the most
important political convention that has ever
assembled in South Carolina during the pre-
/ refer to thessSecess;on Convention"
When his death occurred, nearly sixteen
years ago, he not only left village bearing
his name, but what was better the memory of
an honorable christian life. For upwards of
a quarter of q century he served the Salem
Brick Charch as ruling elder. It has been
said s'his name was a synonym for integrity"
When We consider the position Squire
Mayes occupied in this county, consider bis
high character, also consider that one of the
most important villages in the county bears
his honored name, would it not be eminently
appropriate for the citizens Of that village to
assemble together and celebrate the centennial
anniversary of his birth?
The celebration could be held in the Ma
sonic Hallof Mayesville, aid q free invitation
extended to the public to attend. The 24th
of November comes this year on Saturday.
day which would suit for such celebration o.
Music (ei,her instrumental or yocal) could
probably be secured free for the occasion aad
the programme could be something like this:
A brief address of welcome from the Intend
ant of Mayesville, next music, then an address
on SQUIRE Mayes, his life and character, no
doubt some friend could be found who wonld
be glad to perform this pleasant task; the
address could be followed By music; next
there could be brief address on Mayesville,
its growth, present condition and future pros
poets, aud then the programme could close
with music. I would suggest that it the cen
tennial is held, the town officers Of Mayesville,
in connection with Squire Mayes's descend
ants, arrange the programme and select the
speakers.
The centennial would not cost anything,
for have 10 doubt if vocal music is wanted,
the choir Of the Salem Brick Church and per-
hsps other persons would he pleased to sing
on this occasion. The celebration would be
an event out OF the usual run of things-it
would have tendency to make the people Of
Mayesville feel more interest in their town and
il would bring to the attention OF the younger
generation the memory of mau whose high
character would be a bright example to them.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one wsy to cure Deafness, and that is BY
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
BY an infamed condition, of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets lnfamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect bearing, and 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 destroyed forever nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

1t was a cold, cherries morning in
November. Hetty Clay had left her
mother i'll in bed, when she went to
her work. She was brave little girl
of eleven-a cash girl in one of the
big stores down town, and the pro-
prietors were very strict in their rules
regarding cash girls, Little Hetty
had. risen at six that morning, and
had kindled meagre fire to warm
mother and the baby, and to cook
breakfast for brother Ben, who must
be off before seven. And when, after
breakfast, the dishes were done, she
had put what little there was in the
room to rights before leaving.
You'll be better when | come back
tonight, DEAR" she said cheerfully-
brave little one-as she went. Mrs
Dow turned her head ON the pillow
as Hetty's pale face with its courage
GUS smile vanished, and her tears fell
fast. She was sick and weak. She
knew she would be better soon. But
meantime the fuel was getting low,
and the little sum she was laying by
for the Winter was dwindling, and il
was only November. She missed her

And says: BE good, for PHYS sakel
She laughs at every little groan,

And keeps me in the blankets rolled

And then she sings pretty song

To shut the door, and bring me drinks,
And watch me take my forty winks.'
