Greenville News.
What will it cost you to live and
support your family during the year
1898? How much money can you
make and how much will you have to
spend? How much do you expect to
save? If you are farmer and must
borrow, how much will you borrow?
How much can you afford to spend
and still be able to pay your debts
next November, supposipg that the
price of cotton is five cents pound
and you make the same crop that
you made last year? Are these ques-
tions that you have asked yourself?
There are two ways "of doing busi-
ness" One is to take no thought Of
the morrow. If your little boy wishes
a shot gun and you have ten dollars
in your pocket, you can buyit. Then
you can buy barrel Of -four on a
credit. If your daughter asks for
new dress, and you can borrow the
money, you can give it to her though
she could perhaps get along without
it. If you see a buggy in town that
stakes your eye" you can buy it and,
comforting yourself with the vague
thought, The money will come from
somewhere" you may 60 your way
family rejoicing. Meanwhile you
d. not know how much money you
are actually spending. If the pur-
chases were itemized and added up
the aggregate would astonish you
and you would hesitate to believe
what the figures told. You have
drifted along, indulgiDg your wants
as they rose and have shut your eyes
to settlement day-fancying that by
some supreme effort or by some
good luck the nature Of which you

The Greatest Discovery Yet.

covery for Consumption, Coughs and

others, but never got the true remedy
until we used DR.. Kings New Dis
covery. No other remedy can take
it's place in our home, as in it we have
a certain and sure cure for Coughs,
Colds, Whooping Cough, etc." 1t is
idle to experiment with other rene
dies. even if they are urged on you
as just as good as DR.. Kings New

because this remedy has record of
cures and besides is guaranteed. 1t

Match, which was intended to be
funny, but which proved to be mean.
1t embodied the fossilized slur on
old maids, and averred that in the
hugging matches now in vogue in di-
vers places, while young girls and
widows were hugged at dollar or
two each, and very few seconds
allowed at that for the thrilling per-
formance, old maids were hugged at
3 cents each or two for nickel, with
no limit as to time. I'll vouch that

bachelor. who keeps his blacking
brush op the mantle-piece, and his

is good enough judge Of whisky to

hoed the corn. And if the truth were
only known, he has been rejected by
a dozen girls, perhaps some old
maids, any one of whom would have
to have supported him had she been
fool enough to have had him, and all
of whom render thanks night and
morning now that they had sense
enough to kick him. I am an old
maid, and I am happy. I don't know
how it feels to uncork bottle Of par

wet towels the burning, aching fore
head of "lord of creation" who
promised with a lie upon his lips at
the holy altar, to love, honor and
protect me as long as he lived. Ire

these delights of matrimony. I sup
pose I ought to be pitied. But I had
rather be laughed at because 1 am
not married, than not to be able to
laugh because I am married. If you
will excuse me for being confidential,
I'll say in closing, that during a
career Of 80 years I've only been
hugged one time. On that occasion,
strange to say, I got three scents. l
didn't want any more. The three
scents I got were scents of disgust
ing hair oil, rum and tobacco.

The Caus, Of Dyspepsia.

From the Republican, S,rlnton, Penna.
The most common of all human
ailments is deranged digestion; the
most aggravating disease, inherited
by man, dyspepsia.
The primary cause of dyspepsia is
lack of vitality; the absence of nerve
force; the loss of the life-sustaining
elements of the blood.
No organ can properly perform its
function when the source of nutri-
ment fails. When the stomach is
robbed of the nourishment demanded
by nature, assimilation ceases, un-
natural gases are generated; the
entire system responds to the discord
A practical illustration of the symp-
toms and torture Of dyspepsia is
furnished by the case of Joseph 7.
Vandyke, 40 Hickory St., Scranton,
Pa.
In telling his story, Mr.. Vandyke
says:
give years ago I was afflicted
with trouble of the stomach, which
was very aggravating. I had no
appetite, could not enjoy myself at
any time, and especially was the
trouble severe when I awoke in the
morning. I did not know what the
ailment was, but it became steadily
worse and I. was in constant misery.
Il called in my family physician,
and he diagnosed the case as catarrh
of the stomach. He prescribed for
me and I had his prescription filed.
I took nearly all of the medicine, but
still tie trouble became worse, and
I felt that my condition was hopeless.
I tried several remedies recommended
by my friends but without benefit
After I had been suffering several
months, Thomas Campbell, also a
resident of this city, urged me to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People.
"He finally persuaded me to buy a
box and 1 began to use the pills
according to directions. Before 1
had taken the second box began to
feel relieved, and after taking a few
more boxes I considered myself re-
stored to health. The pills gavo me
new life strength, ambition and hap
piness."
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cure dys-
pepsia by restoring to the blood the
requisite constituents of life, by
renewing the nerve force and enab-
ling the stomach to promptly and
properly assimilate the food. These
pills are a specific for all diseases
having their origination in impover-
ished blood or disordered nerves.
They contain every element requisite
to general nutrition, to restore
strength to the weak, good health to
the ailing.

His Motto.

An editor recently went to see his
best girl. She had yawned six times,
looked at the clock four times, and
pretended to be half asleep three
times, but the young editor who was
calling upon her was SO much in love
that he did not observe these mani-
fescations of WEAKNESS. At length
she said: "Most newspapers have
mottos, havn't they!" "Some have"
Has yours one?" Yes" What is
ite" I'VE are here to stay" 81
could have sworn it was something
of that kind she said with sigh
and the silence was resumed.

How to Break An OK.

feet from the ground. then hoist him
