Last Wednesday and Thursday were
important days in Laurens--Opening
days-the ladies Of the city could be
seen on the streets from early morn
verify to dewy eve, bent on seeing the
world of beautiful, tempting new dress
goods at Jamieson's on Wednesday and
at Simmons on Thursday. Winter goods
are handsome and rich in effect but
airy summer muslins, organizes, chif-
fons and flowers make q store q
perfect maze of lovliness. The crowds
which came to admire had good reason
to do so. Everyone who entered Mr..
Jamieson's elegant store had a badge of
ribbon with a bouquet given them and
from above the Laurens Band played
their liveliest and best. The hats
themselves were as lovely or lovelier
than ever and exceedingly DRESDEN
In fact it seems to be(a Dresden season
all the goods having a touch
of it.. In conclusion it is very safe to
say that.th line Of goods brought here
this seaso surpasses anything which
has ever been shown here before.

One Word.

We readily recognize that advice
that costs nothing is not regarded as
OF much value. However, we would i'm
press upon our farmers that a great
and vast acreage is being seeded to cot
ton this year. The only safe and sure
way of competing with the Southwest
In raising this staple is for our people
to make 1t a surplus crop. Then, pitch
your crop so as to be sure of independ-
ence in bread stuffs at home when No
vember comes, corn, peas, potatoes,
molasses, milk and butter, first, last,
and all the time.

blessed are they that rest with
their living Lord in the evergreen
fields beyond where sweet be their
rest until the Resurrection morn
when they will come forth arrayed
in a blessed immortality.n
1t becomes my sad duty to speak
of one who departed this life on
Sunday morning, the 22d day of
March, 1896. l refer to Mrs. Mary
Emma Dagnall, wife OF J.. II. Dag
nall. She was m of earth's noble
women. No purer, better spirit
has 1t ever been my good fortune
to be associated with, and I low
ingly lay this tribute upon her new
made grave with the hope that it
may be an incentive to others to
live as she lived, that they may die
as she died. For about eighteen
hours she was a great sufferer from
that terrible dis ase, hemOrage of
the lungs. During the few hours
she remained on earth she was sus
tanned by the loving hands of her
Heavenly Father, upon whom by
faith she rested. So patient and
restful was she that not a murmur
escaped her, not a sign of restive-
ness, not q doubt as to further
blessedness eve troubled her. She
was born near Goodgion's Factory,
July 20, 1910. She %professed faith In
Christ and united at Raburn Greek
church and was q consistent men,
Der. She was an affectlonate wife
andlmother. She was a useful mem
Der of the church and always ready
to help in any christian work. She
leaves behind a heart-stricken hus-
band and three step children, one
brother and sister to mourn her
death.
While the hearts of remaining
ones were saddened because of her
going none could grieve but for her
absence from home, as all knew 1t
Is to her the rest which remains for
the people of God. She was buried
in the cemetery at Pisgah M. T.,
Church, Greenville County, the 23d
ult., in the presence of a great
thrOng of people who paid their
last tribute to n they know and
loved so we'll.
Mary Emm, but sweetly sleeps
In Jesus to rise with Him in the
browning day that's coming.

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and un-
til the last few years was supposed
to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced IL a local
disease, and prescribed local reme-
dies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a ~constitu-
tionaI disease, and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment
