Mrs. Josephine Polhill, of Due West,
s. c., was for years a sufferer from
this distressing complaint, and has
learned by experience its fortunes.
She says:
"For years / was the victim of the
worst case of catarrh that / ever
heard of. / was treated by several
doctors, and took numerous medicines
claiming to cure the disease, but in
stead of being benefited my condi-
ton grew worse steadily.
THE trouble became so deep-seated
that / was entirely deaf in one ear.
1t Is difficult to describe my condition,
but some idea of the ravages of the
disease can be obtained when / state
that all the inside of my nose, inc1ud-
ing part of the bone s1oughed off. 1t
can be readily understood how often
sive all this was, and how unbearable
my condition became. When the
disease had gone this far the physi-
clan gave me up as incurable, and
told me would never be any better.
Reading of many similar cases be-
ing cured by S. S. S., / determined to
try it as a last resort. soon discov-
cred that all my former treatment
had been wrong, as the disease was in
the blood, and only blood remedy
could cure 1t. began to improve at
once, and grew better as continued
to take S. S. S. 1t seemed to get at
the seat of the disease, and after a
few weeks treatment / was entirely
cured, and for more than seven years
have had no sign of the disease"
Catarrh is one of the deep-seated
blood diseases, and only thorough

upon it. S. S. S. is the only blood
remedy that Is Guaranteed

BOISE, Ida, Nov. 2S.-From unof-
fetal sources it is learned that the
Woman Suffrage amendment to the
constitution has a majority of nearly
5000. Friends of the movement all
over the state are jubilant. 1t is,
however, a question whether the
amendment has really passed owing
to the official ruling on similar
question that came up two years ago.
At that time proposed constitu-
tional amendment segregating the
office of probate judge and county
school superintendent, was carried
in the same way, but it was held
that the amendment was lost be-
cause the vote in it's favor was not a
majority of all those cast on that
question This rule is in effect that
votes not cast either for or against
are to be construed as being cast
against a measure. The question
will be taken into court as soon as
possible.

A UNIQUE CoURrsHIP.
A Putnam Cennty Romance that Re
minds One Of Lcngfellow's Court
ship of Miles Staadish.

The county Of Putnam is enjoying a
good laugh at the rather unusual
manner OF procedure leading up to a
wedding that occurred there short
time ago. An old man, who lives
back from Eighteen Mile, out where
'sthe pleasant hills and valleys OF
West Virginia" are pretty much all
hills, several weeks ago became matri-
monially inclined to the extent that
widowers sometimes become, yet with
none of the tender sentiment common
to this State. He simply wanted a
wife and said SO in so many words to a
friend, whom he finally hired for $40
to engineer the scheme through for
him.
The friend at once recommended a
widow at the mouth of the creek that
chad begun to take notices" but the
old man respectfully declined her. The
friend then said he knew of just the
party wanted, but that she lived on
the headwaters of the creek and that
he would come by and take him next
day.
The matrimonial promoter really
knew of no one at all in the locality
mentioned; but the next morning when
he and his friend, the widower, had
reached that neighborhood, leaving
him to hold the mules, he went into
the house of a friend and, explaining
the situation to him, asked If he knew
of a suitable person. He was directed
to the house OF a widow back In the
mountains a few miles, and thither
they drove.
Approaching the house they heard
the r-r-rub, r-r-rub of the washboard
in back room. They knocked and
a rather harsh voice babe them enter.
The promoter left the widower at the
door and going back to where the wild
ow was still washing away, entered
into his negotiations at once. She
took her hands from the tub and shak-
ing the suds from her hands, stood
with arms akimbo and glared at the
man that dared to interrupt her wash
ing with common place proposal of
matrimony for another man. John
Alden plead guilty, however, with
this modern Priscilla, and after no
great amount Of urging she consented.
Standish entered, they were mutually
pleased aud the two men drove away
toward Winfield to get the marriage
license.
When they had driven six miles
Standish suddenly refined in the mules
and asked his friend if he knew what
Priscilla's name was. Alden confessed
that he did not and they had to drive
back to learn it SO as to get the mar
riage license.
The name, however, was gotten, the
license secured and now the two men
are happy, one in the possession of a
wife, the other of a ten dollar bill and
a first class recommendation as mat
rimonial promoter.
