DEAR ARGUs:-Miss Lily Ed
mundson, of Greene county, has
been visiting Mrs. W. HI. Speight.
Everything is right quiet about
town these days. The farmers
are now busy at home and do not
visit us as often as they do at
some other seasons.
The death of Mr.. W. B. Bardin
occurred at his home in the
Pinkney section on last Saturday.
He was about 70 years of age and
had raised a family of ten child
rem, the most of whom are now
grown. His life was conspicuous
for his many deeds of charity and
he had the respect and admiration
of all who knew him. The funeral
took place on Sunday and the
interment was made at the old
family burying ground under the
auspices of the Masons, of which
order he was a prominent mem
Der.
The recent municipal election
resulted in a removed from office
of the old administration. The
present incumbents are MI J. w.
Perkins, Mayor; N. M. Barnes,
clerk; J. B. Hooks, M. G. Hales,
J. R. Short, j. L. Bryan and j.
W. Sasser, commissioners. 1t is
said now that the new admins
tration has Ill contemplation eA-
tensive street improvements. This
will be a popular move on their
part, as 1t is a work that has been
neglected for years.
Work on the new town hall,
Mayors Office, market and cali.
boose is progressing rapidly.
When completed, we will have a
convenient place in which enter
tainments can be given and the
city officers will not have to rent
offices in which to transact their
business.
The closing exercises of our
school will take place on the 18th
of June. It is said that the faculS
ty has prepared an elaborate
| programme for the amusement
of the visitors, which we expect
to be more in number this year
than usual.

Captured a Wild Negro.

Brewton, Ala, May IT,
A wild negro, about sixty years
old, a horrible object, was cap
tured ten miles north of Brewtor
yesterday by some farmers. His
hair was matted solidly to his
head with crude %turpentine, max
ing his head look twice its norma
size. The upper part of his body
was naked and was covered with
coarse hair. He wore a remark
able pair of short pantaloons, con-
sisting of seven pairs of old pants,
placed one inside of the other, anC
quilted together with leather
strings: they had evidently seer
years of service. He was bare>
headed, b~arefooted, and wore nc
other garment than the wonder
full pantaloons. He ran when he
saw the hunters, but they overlook
him.
Since his capture he has acted
in all respects like a beast rather
than a man, his talk being in
articulate and his intelligence be-
ing a minimum. His body is alive
with yermin. He will not eat, bat
drinks water and tramps about tie
place to which he is chained like
a confined beast It is believed
he escaped from bondage before
the war, and has since lived in the
swamps like a wild animal. He
will be held and tanned.

Cold Weather
Brings Catarrh.

Though the disagreeable effects of Ca
tarrh are felt all the year round, cold and
disagreeable weather aggravates the
disease and it is during the winter sea-
son that its severest form is felt. Each
succeeding year seems to intensity the
disease, so that it gradually fastens its
hold upon the sufferer with grasp that
becomes firmer each season.
Catarrh often appears as only cold at
frs, and is hardly noticed. But gradu-
ally the cold returns, and it is more
difficu!tto cure, and stays longer than for
merly. These symptoms cannot be mis-
taken; they mark the first appearance of a
disease that will develop III severity and
stubbornness, and which it is impossible
tocure with the local treatment of SPRAYS,
washes, and similar applications. Being
a disease of the blood, only a blood
remedy can have the slightest effect
upon it. SIS. <Swift's Specihc) is the
only cure for Catarrh, because it is the
only blood remedy which goes to the
seat of all obstinate and ecp-seated
cases, and forces out the disease.

chant of Spartanburg, S. c., writes:

one, and have not had touch of the

Sufferers from Catarrh should get a
start OIL the disease before the cold
weather ageravates it. Those who have
been relying upon local treatment will
find winter weather is all that is
needed to show that the disease is still
with them. A course of SIS. (Swift's
