AGood Move.

A new move has been made in the
educational field of Abbeyille. A bu-
e of lectures has been organized,
which bids fair to become a popular
and instructive feature of the season.
The series of lectures win be closed by
Gen. John B Gordon, who will deliver
his famous Grafton, ssThe last days of
the Confederacy."
At very little cost, members of such
an association are enabled to hear cell
ebrated men lecture on various sub
jects. The Gazette would like to see
such an organization established in La
fayette. The instruction to be derived
from such discourses is enough to war;

''Never in the history Of racing in

the bookies been more satisfactory. All
season long prices have ranged low and
business brisk. Upsets have been fire.

the piker have contributed almost daily.
The best judges Of form have found their
figures delusion and snare. The rail
birds, the handicappers, the hackers OF

fact, betters of all descriptions, have
gone the one way. The bookies who
have stepped down and out must be
classed as the unselfsh ones. They have
won enough to satisfy themselves, and
will enjoy their winters rest at the ex-
pense Of the public, who haye, with but
few exceptions, lost heavily.
"One need only to make tour of the
line to find evidence OF all this prosper
ity. The very natures of the pencilers
seem changed. They are positively po-
lite in their treatment. Errors are cor
rected with profuse apologies, and it is
not an unusual thing to find one giving

HISTORY.

Popular belief associates the
"King's Evil' with blood poi
soning and it is interesting t.
here review the history of this
impression. The Kings Evil
first appears in History just prior
to the Twelfth Century when
Edward the Conqueror imagined
he possessed the miraculous gift
Of curing certain diseases by the
simple touch and by pronouncing
a few sacred words. After the
example of Edward, the King Of
France, became celebrated for
the skill with which they cured
scrofula, goitre, etc., by his pro-
cess. Scrofula then became unil
versally known as the King
Evil and is to-day sometimes as
luded to by that name. Such g
methodof cure has been claimed
to be the peculiar attribute of the
sovereigns of England and
France, but history does not san
tion this, for it appears to have
been not unfrequently employed
in Scandinavia, and to have been
derived from the mystical prac-
tees of the Divide in curing dis
ease. The exact words used for
the cure of Scrofula by the
French Kings were:-"Le roi te
touche, Dieu te guerisse."
In this enlightened age no.
body would be silly enough to
trust a case of Scrofula to a King
or bis words unless it happened
that the King aforesaid, had a
diploma or two from medical
colleges of good repute. At this
writing none of the Kings III our
circle of acquaintance have taken
up the study OF medicine and we
therefore suggest that every man,
woman and child suffering from
this dreadful disease send fifty
cents to DR.. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla, for a
bottle of "Marvelo." There is
but one cure for the Kings Evil
for Scrofula-and that one
cure is Marvelo. This marvel
Gus preparation can only be OBJ
tanned of DR.. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla.
