A Life Saved.

Jamestown, Tenn, October Is, 1891.
My daughter tried physicians and
nearly all remedies for Female irreg-
ularities, but received no relief or
benefit whatever. We had nearly
despaired of her recovery when we
were induced by our postmaster,
M. A. A. Gooding. to try Gerstle's
Female Panacea. and after using four
bottles she was entirely cured, for
which I feel it my duty to let it be
known to the world and suffering
humanity, for T believe she owes her
life to the Panacea. A. J. MACE,
Sheriff of Fentress County, Tenn.

as our forests abound in undeveloped
resources which would be valuable
if put in a marketable condition and
which would be done were they in
easy reach of transportation facilities
The importing OF goods and other
articles used by the farmers would
be a big item towards sustaining a
railroad. It is fifteen miles to cur
nearest railroad station, SO you may
see it is quite inconvenient.

this year, though we fear it will be
paid for with cheap cotton.

Greenwood Journal.
In 1861 Cornelius Horn and his
wife Lucinda were living in Edge
field county, near Kirkseys. They
had an only son, ". F. Horn, who
was grown up. Both men enlisted
in Company K, l4th South Carolina
Regiment. They were poor, had no
home of their own, and as these three
composed the family, the mother re-
fused to remain alone in her loneli-
ness, with no means of support,
while her son and husband went to
the front. She accordingly accompa-
MED them, was enlisted, and re-
NAMED with them, until near the
close of the war. The son was
severely wounded, and she brought
him back from Virginia and nursed
him at the home of some relatives.
She met bravely all the hardships in
cident to Confederate camp life. She
did all in her power in nursing the
sick and wounded in the camp, on
the march, on the battlefield and
everywhere that she could help a
suffering soldier. Her son died a
few years ago Of wounds received in
battle. Recently she passed to her
reward at the home of her grandson
in Augusta. Her remains passed
through Greenwood and she was
buried at Chustnut Hill besides the
son she followed so faithfully through
out the war. She was So years old,
and has left her husband behind to
mourn her loss.

As it has been sometime since l
have sent you the news from this
section, I will say that the people
in this part of the moral vineyard
are starting their crops in good
spirits this season. I hope they will
meet with success.
Mr.. Morgan Leard has his crib full
of corn and has some cotton to sell
yet to back him up. MIR. Leard is q
hard working man, and lives at home
and boards at the same place.
Mr.. John Bars is preparing to
build on his new place.
Mr.. Elmore Bars is going to farm
this year. He says Swansea don't
agree with him. That's right, boys;
go ahead and work for what you eat.
MIR. /. K. Spires is rafting again
this season. He is good hand; and
Kit goes to town with it just the
same.
We had preaching last Sunday at
Clay Springs by the Rev. Henry
Rodgers, assisted by the Rev. Mr..
Bedenbaugh, and an able address to
the Sunday school by the latter.
The Rev. L. Williams has gone to
work with renewed energy this
year. He says he is going to pay
considerable attention to farming,
fill his appointments and make the
anvil ring with the music Of the
hammer, for his larder has to be re
plenished, his clothes patched and
horse fed. I don't blame you, par
son, for I expect you are like the
editor, promises to pay written by
delinquents in the sand which are
only settled by the rain washing
them out.
Shumpert has started his mill
up again. He has a splendid
grist mill, but has not been able to
put in his saw mill, as 'Fitz" wrote
sometime ago. Somebody had mis-
informed him, I guess.
Much success to the Dispatch.

1T WAS A FROST.

Several members Of he democratic

have been better, after all. if Mr.. Bry-
a n had received the notification COM
mittee at his own home in Lincoln. in
stead Of coming to New York to meet
them, says William L. Curtis in the
Chicago Record. In other words they
are disappointed with the results OF
the great meeting at Madison square
last week, which was scarcely up to the
expectations. In the first place the
intense heat was a tremendous handi-
cap, although the audience was as en-
thusiastic as a mass of human beings
could be and did its best to show it's re-
spect and admiration for the candidate.
1t is asking too much to expect 20, 900
spectators to sit silently and perspire
in a temperature of 81 degrees for more
than two hours. particularly when they
cannot hear distinctly. Then again,
in condltion to undergo the ordeal that
was imposed upon him. Even if he
had protected himself and come
through from Lincoln in a fast train
without opening his mouth or allowing
a soul to APPROACH him. it would have
been enough to expect him to be him.

confusion that was made by the fussy
Mr.. st. John. But, in his anxiety to

himself up before he got half way to
New York, and ought to have been put

make a speech. The audience expected
o much of him. 1t had heard so much
about his eloquence and magnetism
that 1t was expecting to be e%lectrofed,
n is mac because it was not. The
popular disappointment is therefore
very marked. and the national commit

HABANA, April 30.-A dynamite bomb
caused the explosion in Captain-General
Wcyler's palace yesterday, and not a
gas-engine, as reported. The noise was
tremendous, and caused intense excite
ment in the palace and it's vicinity. The
generals and other officers rushed about
giving orders. Even Weyler left his room
greatly excited. Only one person was
hurt slightly. The others escaped
miraculously. The whole palace was
shaken by the force Of the explosion.
Clouds of dust blinded all persons inside,
and many glass windows were broken.
The bomb destroyed the partition-wall
Of the principal countingroom and broke
two safes. 1t was placed in a closet at
the southeast corner of the palace on
Mercaderes and Oblspo streets.
The occurrence is the general topic Of
conversation. 1t is believed 10 be the

Anarchists did IT. The police are making
