Since it is found out that rye wliskcy
and rock candy compounded is an in
valuable remedy for bad colds, most
every man, woman and child in Scptus
has an alarming cough. About the on
iy thing that we think will cure the
cold is for the medicine to give out.
The t;Tiiip crop iii Scptiis is yet 10
turn up. However, though, the cred
later crop is fine. SO is the "goobcr''

Our friend, Mr.. NJ. A. Hunnicutt is

Messrs. Il. 5. Watson and j. l..
Barnes are still the same clever black
smiths that they always were. Lester

think that times arc 80 long as they
have been.
Our popular contractor and builder,

ang q nice house for Mr.. G.. nj. Due
worth. Also our friend, Mr.. G. f.
johnson, is building one for Mr.. }. d.

The Sells Forepaugh show has come
'and gone, and whether anyone is bene-
fitted by their coming or not, remains
for some one else to say. There is n
great deaf less money in Anderson
County now than was before they
came. We believe it n good thing for
n first-class show to come around
once and awhile. 1t affords amuse-
ment for older persons and helps to
educate the young and rising genera
'tlon. The wild animals that can be seen
IN show does more good towards the
education Of children than all the de-
scriptiOn of them that has ever been or
ever will be written. Theacting shows
what can be done with the facilities
ssed he's given man.
We have been having some very
rainy weather during the past week,

Mr.. James Wilson will move to the

Two Mormon Elders passed through
TINS community few days ago, dis
trlbnting their literature and begging.
we think that all such tramps should
be taken up and mado to work for
their living. There is place where all
vagrants can be made to work for their
living, and the Mormons should be
given the same kind Of treatment as
their brother vagrants.
The wedding bells will ring in this
community some time between now
and the Christmas holidays. Prepara-
tions for housekeeping arc already be-
ing u ide by some of our fair damsels.
There is always someone trying to
SANDER or belittle someone else, and
against SANDER there is no defence.
Hell cannot boast 30 foul fiend, nor
man deplore SO foul foe, it stabs with
word, with nod, with shrug, with
look, with smile. 1t is pestilence
walking in darkness, spreading conta-
gion far and wide, which the most
wary traveller cannot avoid; it is the
heartseeking dagger of the dark assas-
sin, it is the poisonous arrow whose
wound is incurable; tits the moral sting
of deadly adder; murder is it's en-
,ployment, innocence it's prey, and ruin
ITS sport. It's foundation is envy, jeal-
