the republican party they will be at
the polls rain or shine to vote for the

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreadful disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is cartarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutlonal treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, destroying the founda-
ton of the disease and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative power that
they offer one hundred dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for

THROWN INTO CREEK.
Runaway in Which a Drummer
and Driver Were Injured.

Mr.. Jno. w. Ward, who travels for
Pringle Bros. of Charleston, S. c., and
a negro driver, Will Caldwell, were
painfully injured early Wednesday
morning as the result of runaway.
Mr.. Ward was en- route to Herod IN "

a. Ingram and drawn by two horses.
Besides Mr.. Ward and the driver there
were two heavy trunks in the rear OF
the vehicle.
AS the horses approached the bridge
over the tan yard creek, on the south
western edge of the city, they became
frightened and Immediately set OIL at

trunks.
Though neither Mr. Ward nor the
driver had any bones broken by the
fall. both were painfully bruised. The
former was taken to the Farnum House
and was there attended by DR.. Guy
Chappell. 1t was first thought he had
sustained internal injuries, but upon
examination such was found not TO be
the case.
The vehicle had its top torn off,
while one of the horses was consldera-
bly, skinned up. The escape OF the oc-
cupants of the vehicle from more Sc

A COUNTRY DARKEY AND HIS GUN.
He Brought II TO Town and Amused Himself
Shooting Hickory Nuts Off Tree.

George Banks lives in the country.
Living in the country, he naturally
knows more of rural customs and man
ners than those of town. Being at lib
erty to shoot his gun in the fields and
woods near his home he concluded that
he had a perfect right to do likewise
within the corporate limits and within
four hundred yards of the court house.
He and friend decided to try new
gun and proceeded to shoot the hick-
DRY nuts off tree near the old fair
grounds. When two policemen were
brought to the scene by the repeated
sounds of the gun Banks was a very
much disturbed negro, and when lie
was given berth in the city lookup
his feelings of dismay knew no bounds.
He was 'eased, however, in short
while by Mayor Lowrey's order, with
the advice to henceforth confne his
shooting TO the country.

Father Haire Of Aberdeen, Iowa. The
idea Of the work is to develop each Of
the 700 Aryan root words forward
through the Sanscrist, Greek, Latin
and Germanic languages to Its English
derivntive. Every scholar will at once
appreciate Its enormous value. In some
instances more than 1900 English
words are brought up from one Aryan
root. The book will be published in
the form of n large atlas. SO that each
root. with its Developments, will oc-
cupy a single page, making q volume
OF more than 700 pages. This work Is
now ready for the publisher. In mag
nitude it must take rank as one of the
greatest literary achievements of the
century, and us the product of sim
gle pen 1t is only eHunled by the work
of Noah Webster In the production of
his great dictionary. Father Halre, the
author, is a gentleman OF exceptional

Magnet to Draw . BIT.

The hardened end Of bit, or chisel,
broke of In bore hole 800 metres
deep, put down near Ostroppa, in Up
per Selisia, by Zoellner & Co.: and this
obstruction enectually prevented fur
ther boring Of the hole, because all
the diamond crowns wore away, says
the London Colliery Guardian. After
the most various attempts had failed
to remove the piece of steel, the follow
ing plan was hit upon by Engineer
Degenharlt Of Gleiwitz. A soft steel
bar, 1.5 metres long and of seventy
millimetres diameter, was covered by
a single winding of india-rubber tape,
and magnetized by the current Of a
small dynamo driven by the portable
machine employed for the work of bor-
ing; and the current was kept constant
at about thirty amperes by means of 4
simple resistance coil. The steel bar
was let down into the hole unmagnet-
lied; and, when it reached the bottom,
the current was switched through the
conductor enclosed in the rope for let
ting down and drawing up. On the hrst
day that this method was employed the
piece Of steel was drawn up to the sur
face, SO that boring could be resumed.

"siciliau vsapsrs."

"Sicilian Vespers" is the name given
to the massacre of the French in Sicily
on the day after Easter March 3O).
1882. the signal for the commence
ment Of which was to be the first
stroke Of the vesper bell. Charles Of
An1ou, the brother Of Louis TX. of
France. had deprived the Hohen-
staufen dynasty Of Naples and Sicily,
and parceled out these kingdoms into
domains for his French followers; but
his cruelty toward the adherents of
the dispossessed race, his tyranny. op-
pressive taxation. and the brutality Of
his followers. excited among the vim
dictive Sicilians the deadliest animos-
ity. On tine evening of Easter Monday
the inhabitants OF Palermo sprang to
arms, and turning on their oppressors
put TO the sword, every man. woman
and child Of them, not sparing even
those Italians and Sicilians who had
married Frenchmen. This example
was followed after brief interval. by
Messina and the other towns. and the
massacre soon became general over
the island; the French were hunted
like wild beasts, and dragged even
from the churches, where they vainiy
thought themselves safe. More than
5000 Of them were slain by the Paler-
mitans alone. The 60Oth anniversary
OF the Sicilian Vespers was celebrated
with much enthusiasm in Palermo In
1882.
