was sociable given by MIR. and Mrs.
J. n. Wessinger on Tuesday night,
January II. Most all of the young
people of the community were there
and even some of the older heads
also came to witness the occasion.
Miss Anna, the highly accom-
plisbed daughter Of Mr. Jesse Black
of Edgefeld, was also there and par
ticipated in the plays.
The crowd was civil, and it seemed
as if they had come to entertain each
other; and to keep the best Of order.
The young men were quiet and peac-
able and not an oath WIS to be heard
from any, nor a drunkard to be
started. We spent the time together
until very late hour, and, therefore,
passed very pleasant night.
Success to the Dispatch.

January II, 1896.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
invented a great many valuable
things. They were the first to make
brooms by machinery; the first to
put up seeds in little packages; the
first to manufacture cut nails.
Now they are out with a method
of curing dyspepsia by resting the
stomach. Their remedy is known as
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t
supplies food in an artifcially di-
gested form and at the same time
aids the digestion of other foods in
the stomach. In other words, by
the use of the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial. dyspeptic virtually gets along
without the use of bis stomach until
it is restored to it's natural strength
and vigor. A single 10 cent bottle
will oft times give marked relief.
Get bottle from your druggist and
try it.

New Trains Put On.
The c.. n. g. L. Makes a Good
Change of Schedule.

COaBES O1 bCCuCOulC.
Columbia Register.
Beginning last Sunday several I'M
portant changes have been made in
the schedule on the Columbia, New.
berry and Laurens Railroad. A
train leaves Laurens at 6 a. M, re-
turning leaves this city at 5 o'clock
in the afternoon and arrive at Laur-
ems at s p. m. This change is a
great thing for both Columbia and
Laurens. Laurens people can leave
home in the morning, spend the day
in this city and return in time for
supper.
Just such q schedule as this has
been needed for long time and it Is
one of the most convenient that has
ever been put On. This move is the
outcome of the purchase of the road
which gives through route between
Columbia and Laurens, and it will
give two daily trains over this road
each day and a through sleeper will
be put on from here to Atlanta.

Al Impartial Witness.

In Harlem few days ago, a man
sued another for the recovery OF a
dog, which he claimed as his own.
The defendant and plaintiff each pro-
duced reputable witnesses as to the
ownership. At length the Judge
thinking he had bright thought,
ordeaed the contestants to whistle
for the animal, and whichever was
responded to he declared should be
considered the owner. The defen-
dant and the plaintiff both whistled
and snapped their fingers. The dog
banged his tail on the court room
floor joyfully and rushed to the plain
tiff and fawred on him moment,
and then, to the disgust Of the court
rushed to the defendant and exhib-
tied the same signs Of Joy. The case
is still undecided.

waterworks snd ELECTRICITY.

In considering the pumping Of water
by the power embodied in the electric
current, that eternal law of nature
known under the name Of economy as
serts itself and drives Us to the task Of
securing the greatest possible results
from the least expenditure CT effort and
material; hence, the question, now
seemingly presented to the waterworks
manager, Of ascertaining whether or
not this new mode of applying power TO
the work he has in hand will pay to
use. The fact that it is just now strong
ly asserting Itself breeds suspicion in
his mind that it has come to stay and
that he had better look into it.-Cas-

a Faralyt;c Cured.
His Grandfather, e Revolutionary
Soldier, and His Father, Both died
OF Paralysis, Yet the third Gener-
alton is Cured-The Method.

From the Herald, Boston, Mass.
Like a thunderbolt from clear
sky, a stroke of paralysis came to
Mr.. Frank T. We're, the well known
Boston autioneer and appraiser, at
235 Washington street. lie went to
bed one night about six years ago,
seemingly in robust health. When
he awoke his LETT SIDE was stlfened
by the deadening OF the nerves.
The interviewer sought out Mr..
Ware to get the facts. He gave the
interesting particulars in his own
way.
The first shock came very sud
denly while was asleep, but it was
not lasting in it's effects, and in 8 few
weeks was able to be about. A
few months after, when exhausted
by work and drenched with rain, l
went home in a very nervous state,
The result was second and more
severe shock, after which my left arm
and leg were practically helpless.
'My grandfather, who was a SOL
dier in the Revolutionary War, and
lost an arm in the struggle for Amer
lean Independence, died finally OF
paralysis. My father also died OF
paralysis although it was compli-
Gated with other troubles, and SO l
had some knowledge Of the fatal
character of The disease which is
hereditary in our family. After the
second shock I took warning, for, in
all probability, third would carry
me of.
'Almost everything under the sun
WAS recommended to me and [ tried
all the remedies that seemed likely
to do any good, electricity, massage
and specialists, but to no effect.
The only thing I found that
helped ne was DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and I verify believe that if it
hadn't been for those pills I would
have beer dead years ago.
Yes, still have slight reminder
Of the last attack six years ago. My
LETT arm is not as strong as the other
and my left foot drags little, as the
paralysis had the effect Of deadening
the nerves. But I can still walk a
good distance, talk as easily as ever,
and my general health is splendid.
l am really over seventy years old,
although I am generally taken to be
twenty years younger than that.
"The Pink Pills keep my blood in
good condition and believe that is
why I am so we'll, although cheerful.
ness may help.
Il have thought Of it great many
times and honestly believe that the
Pink Pills have saved my life"
Mr.. Ware has every appearance OF
q perfectly healthy man, and arrives
at his Office promptly at s o'clock
every morning although he has
reached an age when many men re-
tire from active life. His experience
is we'll known to great many people
in Boston, where his constant cheer
fulness has won him hosts of friends.
He says that in his opinion both his
grandfather could have been saved if
Pink Pills had been obtainable at
that time.
