THOSE BoER LADIES.
By Middle Life They Are Almost Too
Fat to Walk.

By Middle Life They Are Almost Too
Fat to Walk.
The Boer woman is very little like
the trim, handsome Dutchwoman of
her ancestral Holland. She is seldom
pretty. Her complexion is her princi-
pal charm, and she guards this care
fully whenever she goes out. She is
never. seen outdoors without a great
peaked bonnet on her head, her visits
to church being made behind an al
most oriental seclusion of wells. This
is necessary to preserve the pink and
white of her skin, for the climate
would otherwise soon tan it to the col
or Of sole leather. Her eyes are small
and set close together. and her features
are irregular. Her cheeks are broad
and fiat, and her hair is naturally light
in color, although time and weather
soon bleach it from its early straw
color At q very early age she loses
all Ler teeth. for she is constantly
chewing sweet cakes and confection-
cry.
a European woman would replace
the molars that nature has deprived
her of with we'll mounted works Of
art, but the Boer woman does rot do
this. She thinks it would be impious
thus to try to duplicate the work OF
the Creator. Her figure is thick and
almost waistless. While still young
woman she begins to grow fat. and
by he time middle life is reached she
is often so unwieldy that the only ex-
ercise she is able to take is to waddle
cumbrously from one armchair to an
other. She is clad in 4 loose, scantily
made gown, devoid Of trimming and
apparently waistless. The day gar
ments of the Beers are also their night
clothes, so the gown is generally wrin-
kled.-Charleston News and Courier.

E. EiIharz G Son.

During the past fall Bilharz & Son
have made some very substantial and
important improvements in their store
rooms. For some years their room has
been their ground floor which is 50xS4,
cellar under all and some storage room
up stairs in the rear. the front of the up
stairs being occupied as offices. They
have recently removed all partitions in
the front q the up stairs part, making a
room there 50x60, well lighted and nice
ly arranged. In this they now have
their stock of cloaks, furs, ladies' shoes
carpets, rugs, blankets, lace curtains,
crockery, iron beds, Isewing machines,
trunks and household furnishings. 1t
makes splendid room in which to dis
play and sell goods and greatly relieves
the overcrowded condition below. Now
they occupy the entire three floors, each
5OxS4 feet, basement, ground floor and
up stairs.
Leading to the up stairs room is
stairway six feet wide, easy of ascent
and tastefully built. 1t is located in the
southwest part OF the building, runs to
a landing and turns to the right and
leads up into the large room just describ-
ed. Turning to the left on the landing
one enters the office which is situated
on nice balcony. The Office is very
convenient and tasteful in every way.
The entire building is lighted with
gas, fifty four lights being used. 1t is
heated by steam and is in every respect
modern and up to date store 1t is
credit to our town in every way. Few
towns Of this size have so complete a
store in all lines. Their business is ap-
preciated and is gradually growing
Last month it showed gain of % per
cent over the previous month and was
greater than it had ever been in any
previous month. Mr.. Bilharz ST. has
been in business here over twenty years
He has extended experience and good
judgment and wish his son they constr.
tute strong, reliable and progressive
firm. We are glad to note their improve
ments and their progress.

Mr.. r. Gray, who lives near Armenia
in Duchess county, N. Y, says
Cham berlain's Cough Remedy is the
best medicine | have ever used. 1t is
u fine children's remedy for Group and
never fails to cure" When given af-
ter the child becomes hoarse or even
after the croupy cough has developed,
it will prevent the attack. This should
be borne in mind and bottle OF the
Cough Remedy kept at hand ready for
instant use as soon as these symptoms
appear. For sale by E. Prick & Son.
Among the tens of thousands who
have used Chamberlains Cough Rene
dy for colds and la grippe during the
past few years, to our knowledge, not
a single case resulted in pneumonia.
Thos. Whitfield & Co., $40 Wabash
avenue, Chicago, one of the most prom
inent retail druggists in that city, in
speaking of this, says: eve recon-
mendcd Chamberlain Cough Remedy

only gives prompt and complete recov-
cry but also counteracts the tendency
of la grippe to result in pneumonia.
