Several parties hereabouts who have

praises of the wondrous sights which

We learn with sorrow that Mrs.
E6rd, wife of Hon. D. Frank Efrd,
is desperately ill at her home near
Dreher's Ford and that her physician
gives the afflicted family but little
hope for her recovery. We trust that
she will pass through the valley
and the shadow of death safely and
be restored to her family and friends
in perfect health.
We would advise and urge our
farmers not to be discouraged over
the crop prospects. Almost any
variety of our corn will make yet, if
planted in the richest spots on the
farm. Let them plant every avail
able spot in corn and at harvest
time they will find that they will
have plenty of this grain to fed
stock until the next crop is made.
Persons who are erecting, or con-
template erecting, buildings of any
kind should remember that they can
purchase the best line of doors, sash
blinds or anything in the building
line, from the Charleston Door, Sash
and Lumber Co. Their work is first
class in every respect and is fully
guaranteed to be equal to any on the
market, while their prices are the
lowest for the same class of work.
Send them an order for what you
need and you will be satisfied with
the result.
