happy conception cf life and good
tab on things as they are:
Young men unsteady; girls lively
and in demand; coffee considerably
mixed; fresh fish active and slippery;
wheat grain better than barley; eggs
quiet, but will probably be open in a
few days; whisky steadily going dowr;
onions strong and steadily rising;
breadstuffs heavy; boots and shoes,
those in the market soled and steadily
going up and down; hats and caps
not as high as last fall, except fools

slow and has a downward tendency;
money close enough to get hold Of;
feathers light and going up; iron
firm; butter growing stronger; opium
a drug on the market; advice good,
bat no demand.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
REMEDIES. Deafness is caused by an
inaamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inAamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the irfam'
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Cstarrh, which is nothing but an IN
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF Deafness Caused by
catarrb) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, fee.

Notes from, Black Greek.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Surely love is not dream: if it is,
dreams and the dreamer have not
vet had their day.
Sunday was a cold and blustery
dsy; but not too cold for lovers.
About S o'clock Sunday evening,
facing raw breeze. Mr.. Hutchie
Taylor, with the lovely Miss Cum
Hlings Smith, followed a merry crowd
of young people, drove up to the
abode of Rev. Kyzer. Soon the
whole .certy was seated By 3 roaring Q
sre. ai:er a few words Of friendly
greeting and pastime pleasantries'
the crowd maintained q bresthless
silence, while Mr.. Hutchie Taylor
and Miss Cummings Smith standing
before the Rev. Kyzer became man
and wife for the rest of their natural
life.
A prettier bride this scribe has
reyer seen. Thus the same old
story is repeated DER and oer'
How many more will follow, troW
not.
Marrying for the next thirty days
done at half price. The liberal offer
is made to suit the hard times and
to encourage the trade.
The small grain hsa been some
what damaged by the severe colds.
Cross tie business is somewhat
lively now a-days.
Mr. Davis Smith lost a mule by
sickness one day last week.
The school at Pond Branch con-
tinues to prosper under the leader
ship of Mr.. Furman Able. The
pond Branch" people speak very
highly of MIR. Furman.
Miss Sallie Matthews is still un-
able to take charge of her school at
Wateree. Her sister, the charming
Miss Nettie, is now taking her place.
Mrs. George Kyzer and children
from New Brookland are visiting the
parental home on Black creek.
We spoke lately of the "Corset
Busting Preacher" as being one OF
the greatest men, but decidedly the
hsppiest man on earth or in the
moon, is Mr.. Tilmou Kyzer. Same
old song-it's boy!
mir. E. L. Crouch, of Leesville, is
now our operator at Lewiedale.
We are pleased to note by the
Summit Newsletter that Mr.. E. G..
Lewis will be in the race for Auditor.
Young men are forgeing their way
to the front nowadays. The young,
catch the new idea.
There are many possibilities before
the young man Of today.

be blest, keep ton hand white dirt
