The People Believe
What They Read About Hoods
Sarsaparilla
Their Faith in This Medicine is
Grounded on Merit
They Know II Absolutely Cureo
When Other Medicines Fail

Hoods Sarsaparilla is not merely sim
pie preparation of Sarsaparilla, Dock,
Stillingia and a little Iodide of Potassium.
Besides these excellent alternatives, it
also contains those great anti-bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.
1t also contains those great kidney rene
dies, iva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsissewa.
Nor are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are tremendously COM
bined in Hoods Sarsaparilla, and it is
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision of regularly educated phar-
macist.
Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hoods Sarsaparila a
matter of surprise? You can see why
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.
"My little girl was afflicted with
eczema and suffered for seven years. She
was attended by physicians and tried
many different kinds OF medicine with
out relief. After taking few bottles OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla she was cured" MRS.

ENDORSED BY THousANps
A YOUNG HERO.

The following glowing and we'll
deserved tribute to Lieutenant
Douglas Berkeley is published in
the "reminiscences OF San Juan Hill,
now going the rounds of the press.
1t is of especial interest in Green
vile, as Lieutenant NOW Captain
Berkeley, while Il Nirginian, grad
uated at West Point as cadet from
this district of Mississippi, and
made his home in Grcenille for
some time before going to the mill
tary academy. He is a brother to
Mrs. A. b. Nance, Of Greenyille,
Mrs. J. A. V. FeItus, Of Leland,
and Mrs. j. 5. McNeily, of Vicks-
burg, and is Il worthy member Of
Virginia family distinguished
for high achievements for many
generations.
"In this connection (the bat
tie of Santiago) it may be per-
missible to mention the heroic
conduct of Second Lieutenant
H. d. Berkeley, a young line
officer, who was awarded the bre-
vets OF first Newfoundland captain
for his gaIlantry and conspicuous
ly efficient service to the govern
ment on July 1st, 1875. The bre-
vets awarded were because of two
distinct fights, in which be signal
Ily distinguished himself. The
inst consisted in taking what is
| known rs the first San Juan Hill,
where his GOODNESS and remarkable
control over mon contributed the
higcst assistance to his superior
officers in their efforts to extend
and maintain Il firing line on the
brow of the hill to the left of The
Kettles, where, for a few mo-
ments, the. Spanish fire was con-
centrated, and so hot that many
men hesitated to meet it. In this
he was a-second lieutenant, and
commanded Troop D., First Unit
ed States Cavalry, { my troop the
left centre troop of the regiment,
in the fight on the first hill.
This troop reached the top of
the hill practically intact, and IN
advance Of the rest OF the regiment.
which had scattered, and while
participating in the fight there in.
Cured eleven casualties without
any apparent generalization OF
the troop. This was under my
personal observation, and it is gen.
orally considered that Lieutenant
Berkeley was practically the con.
trolling spirit, not only IN oul
troop, but along that part of the
line.

STREET PAVING.

Next week conference will be
held between the city council and
representatives of Birmingham
firm to sec if some plan cannot be
hit upon which will result in i'm
proving the condition of the bust
ness streets of Greenyille. ebert
Is the material proposed, but the
ebert experiment on the sidewalks
and around the Y. & NJ. Y depot
is not encouraging. Half OF Wal
nut street was covered half foot
deep with Stag a year or two ago,
and now that part of the street Is
the worst place in GreenyiIle, and
almost impossible for vehicles.
The character of the mud is such
that such materials sink in 1t, or
are carried along by the wheels OF
wagons, and after year or two
the last state is worse than the
first. Councilman Wilczinski, af-
ter careful calculation, estimates
that 1T will cost 800, 900 to pave
Washington Avenue and Walnut
street from one railway station to
the other. OF course this is dis
heartening; but Greenville is fast
becoming real city. Its miser-
able streets are its greatest draw
back, and something must be done,
even if it is done by plecemeal,
paving block at a time, in per
manent fashion, and then waiting
until we can afford to pave another
block, and so on until the work is
accomplished,

The efficiency of the water works
and the fire department was never
better demonstrated than on Sun
day night, when an alarm of fire
was sounded and the hose and reel
brigade, on their arrival, found Il
tlourshing blaze issuing from the
back of the store in the big Viii
czinski building occupied rs no
ton store by Herman Sceman,
and kept by an agent. In spite of
sitting smoke three lines of hose
were carried into the building, and
in short time the fire was sub
dued and eXtinguished with only
triiling damage TO the store in
which it originated, The Seeman
store was occupied by a stock OF
notions, insured for $500 with
Wheatly and Gwin, which was
practically ruined by both fire an |
water, 1t also contained goods
belonging TO Leyser G Co. insured
for $500. The Wilczinski build
ing is one of the largest on
Washington Avenue, and contains
four stores on the ground floor

capped without injury, with the ex-
ception of the Racket, the stock
of which was considerably dam
aged by water and smoke. The
loss was covered by insurance.
The second story of the building
is occupied by the law offices of
Thomas q Boddie, Joshua Skin !
ner, Eugene Bogen, w. k. Trigg, |
and j. IL. Wynn, and the dental
rooms of DIR. Joe Chatham.
Little or no damage was sus-
tanned by any of these, with the
exception Of DIR. Chatham, whose
rooms suffered considerably from

suddenly in his Office on Thurs

Mr.. Holland was about 45 years
of age. a successful business man
and useful citizen, While quiet
and unobtrusive in manner and de-
voting himself to business rather
than public affairs, he was much

his native land. He was unmarried.
