The Joint Conference of the Evan
gelical Lutheran church, which was
in session at Z;cn church, near
Lorick's ferry, from Friday to Sun
day last, was very instructive and
interesting and much work looking
to the advancement Of the interests
of the church and lasting good for
the cause of the Master was accom-
plished. The divine services held
there Sunday were largely attended.
NJ. A Malone, the leading piano
ard organ dealer in Columbia, in
forms the readers of the Dispatch
that he is in need of more room and
conse quently has made sweeping
reduction in the prices Of pianos and
organs. Just think of it, 'ye lovers
of music, that an 500 organ can
DOW be purchased for S55 and an 7
octave piano for only $50. If you
want good instrument for a little
money, you had better hustle as they
will not long remain unsold.

Bates & Walker, proprietors of the

with a new advertisement on the
fourth page of this issue, in which
they quote prices on staple goods
that are really astonishers to the
public. These goods are always
needed in the household and in the
dressing room and at the almost
ridiculous figures at which they
are offered, there is no excuse for
being poorly clad and shod. Bar
gain hunters should inspect this
stock b, fore purchasing.

SORES AND
ULCERS

Sores and Ulcers never become chronic
unless the blood is IN poor condition is
sluggish, weak and unable to throw of
the pOisonS that accumulate IN It. The
system must be relieved of the unhealthy
matter through the sore, and great danger
tolife would follow should it heal before
the blood has been made pure and healthy
and allimpurities eliminated from the sys-
tenn. SS.S. begins the cure by first cleans
ing and invigorating the blood, building
the system a CONSTANT DRAIN
sfFete s4e matte 1natter UPON THE SYSTEM.
When this has been accomplished the dis
charge gradually ceases, and the sore or
indolent sores to grow worse and worse,
and eventually to destroy the bones. Local
applications, while soothing and to some
extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat
of the trouble. S. S. S. does, and no matter
how apparently hopeless your condition,
even though your constitution has broken
down, it will bring relief when nothing
else can. 1t supplies the rich, pure blood
necessary to heal the sore and nourish
the debilitated, diseased body.
Mr. J. 3. Talbert, Lock Box 245,Winoua. Miss,
says: six years ago my leg from the knee to
the foot was one solid sore Several physicians
treated me and made two trips to Hot Springs,
but found no relief ] was induced to try S. s. S,
