The Anderson Intelligeneer.

That staunch old conservative paper, the
Anderson Intelligencer, keeps on in the even
tenor Of Its way, and continues to make
first class county paper. The great amount
of work which its editors do in preparing the
copy and filling the paper always insures a
most excellent paper. 1t, like the Carolina
Spartan, always has In 1t something to read.
And after reading 1t man doesn't feel un-
comfortable.

permitted to make this extract: II have
no hesitation in recommending DR.. Kings
New Discovery. as the results were al
most marvellous in the case of my wife.
While I was pastor Of the Baptist church
at Rives Junction she was brought
down with Pneumonia succeeding La
Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of cough
ing would last hours with little interup-
tion and it seemed as if she could not
survive them. A friend recommended
DR.. Kings New Discovery; it was quick
in its work and highly satisfactory in
