delightful dinners last night in the club

one hundred and fifty guests were pres

with him were a number of well known
citizens. The juicy steak was daintily
served at small tables, on which stood
the pride and glory of Greenville. Then
came the nut-brown ale and other fix
ings, all of which were of the right kind
and received that attention which their
merit deserved.
a neat little speech of welcome was
made by President Carroll, followed by
Mr.. John D.. German, who. in his ac-
cushioned felicitous style talked Of the
Flag and becfsteak, a queer combination,
but last night it was a powerful one.
Mr.. German, a dabster at making clever
speeches, was in splendid vein, and his
oratory and patriotism were much appre-
ciated.
Mr.. John r. Pringle, too. made a pa
triotic speech, and as John T. is a SOL

tary spirit. Then came music and good
bye. with parting thanks to Messrs. Jas.

A WORD OF WARNING.
Regarding The Water You Use Just

In these days there is such a universal
interest in the waters we drink that any
thing bearing upon the subject is eagerly
read by the public. 1T IS EVIDENT says
4 New York medical Journal, that the
necessity of using absolutely pure drink
ing water cannot become too strongly
Impressed on the public mind, but wafer
In that condition is provided BY very few
communities. Where such water cannot
be obtained. the ordinary drinking wa
ter, it the least suspicion attaches to It,
should be boiled before using. Precau-
lions should be taken at all times of the
year.
There are few ordinary drinking wa
tiers that do not contain traces Of i'm
pure matter and poisonous germs. invisr
ible to the naked eye. If these enter the
system at a favorable time, disease will
ensue. Boiling and freezing, it has been
shown, often fail to destroy these dan
gerous foes to health. 1. IS Known, how
ever, that the addition of a little pure
spirit to illuminated water will render
it perfectly harmless. 1t is recommended
that pure whiskey be used for this pur-
pose. The one absolutely cure medicinal
whiskey known to the world is Duffyss
Pure Malt. Scientists admit this, doctors
confirm it, and the public has proven II.
There is no difficulty in counteracting
the poisons in drinking water II this pure
whiskey is used. Care should be observed,
however, TO secure Duffy's, as 1t Is a pure
medicinal whiskey, n will
what you desire.
