QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
lized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation Of undi-
gested food, regulate the action OF the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
action OF the system, and that Is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need q few doses OF Green's
August Flower, 10 liquid form, to make
YOU satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. For sale by

An Ancient Belief.

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tlsm was the work of demon within a
man. Any one who has had an attack
ofseiatic or iDhamstory rheumatism will
agree that the iofiction Is demoniac
enough to warrant the belief. 1t has
never been clsimed that Chamberlsin's
Pain Balm would cast out demons, but
IL will cure rheumatism, and hundreds
bear testimony to the truth of this
statement. One application relieves the
pain, and this quick relief which 1t
affords is alone worth many times its
cost. For sale by all druggists. =

ELECTRIC RAILWAYS.
Council Takes No Action ON
Franchises Asked For.

At the meeting Of the city council Sat.
urday evening communication was read
IRON N. {. Richards, attorney for c. S.
Warren ct al. who are asking for fran.
chiSe for an electric road through the
streets Of Sumpter, requesting more time
In which to submit an ordinance covering
the case. The request was based on the
assertion that several interested parties
are absent from town, and It Is necessary
to consult them IN the matter. Further
time was granted. The McGrew ordi.
nance, which grants to him similar fran.
chse, was laid over for one week.
The judiciary committee was instructed
to investigate the matter and ascertain II
town warrants could be sold, for the pur.
pose OF buying hook and ladder truck.
The contract for furnishing town pa
tents with medicine was awarded to N.
B. Mercer, at 22h cents prescription.
The attorney was instructed to draft an
ordinance regulating the calling for bids
and the expenditure Of money. The same
official was instructed to revise the mum.
bering Of ordinances already passed.
The ordinance providing for the nrm.
bering Of houses was read and ordered
enrolled.
The empounding ordinance and one re.
lative to building permits and the use Of
streets by building material were passed.
Both are Of general public interest and
Importance. Those who wish to ascer.
tain their provisions, can do so by making
enquiries Of the recorder, learning where
they are posted and detiphering the
weather stained and streaked documents.
That Is the method adopted at the meet.

decision, which required writ OF

at O'Clock Friday evening. Mrs. George
r. SchGher had passed away. But few
knew she was dangerously in, she having
been token suddenly an hour or so before
she died, and yet, she had been in feeble

account of which, with expressions Of regret
attached, had been given in this paper from
time to time. She died sitting up ia her
chair.
The death of no one could have caused
more genuine and widespread regret aud
sorrow in this community than that of Mrs
Sehefter. As Miss Martha A. Rocks she
was reared in Monroe and from childhood
up, her bright sunny disposition and her
lovable character made her a universal ia
yorte with ali classes of our people. As a
young lady, working for the support of an
aged, devoted mother, who left her a few
years ago for the skies, she had a wide
spread circle of friends and admirers and
her womanly graces were spoken of where
ever she was known. She was for thirty
years, lacking about one month, without the
loss OF single day on account OF sickness.
