There is more Catarrh in this Sec
tion Of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incureble. For great many years
doctors pronounced it q local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incura,
BE. Science has proven catarrh' to
be o constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treat.
ment.. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
factured by f. j. Cheney & CO.,

tionaI cure on the market. It is

a Constitutional Amendment. t.


It will be interesting to note that
there will be one constitutional
amendment to be voted upon at the
next general election In word it
is 8 proposition by which certain
townships, which have issued town.
ship railroad bonds for railroads that
have not been built, want to get out
of the bonded indebtedness. The
bonds were issued and got out of the
hands of the authorities, but the
railroads were not built, or have been
abandoned. Now eight townships
ask to have q constitutional amend
ment passed, so that the corporate
existence of the same is to be de-
stroyed and all of the corporate
agents are removed. In word the
townships are to be wiped out Of
existence so as to get out Of the rail-

Death Of Mrs. Edgar Blake.

ssAunt Carrie is dead" was the
crushing announcement OF little Ben
ME Yon<to his mother, on the morn
ing of the 2sth instant, as he handed
her telegram in the presence OF the
writer, who had just been speaking
to her about her sisters illness.
The deceased, an amiable daughter
of the late Col. A. Minis of this place,
had been sick for sometime at her
home in Greenwood, S c., where she
lived since her marriage to MIR. Edgar
Blake of that city.
The few years Of her lovely maiden
hood and womanhood spent among
us made an impress that time cannot
efface. ALI who knew her, know her
but to love her. Gentle words and
smiles OF kindness she had for all.
She was devoted member OF the
III. e. Church, South, and her Christ
ian character was exemplary. The
writer remembers well with what
modest zeal and devotion she con-
Quoted the Sunday school OF her
church here, when no male member
could be secured this important
work to perform.
When Mr.. Blake wooed and won
her heart, married her and took her
to his home in Greenwood, how we
missed her. But we knew that her
benign influence was taken elsewhere
to cheer and bless other hearts,
where she doubtless proved q verl-
table halo Of light and joy to the
husband OF her love and the many
new made friends.
Death to her was benediction,
mere transition, 8 deliYerance from
pain. farewell TO things of time, an
entrance into blessful rest with her
Savior.
Mother, husband, brothers, sisters,
friends. by faith look up and behold
her abeautiful beckoning hands."

road bonded Indebtedness. It ap-
pears to be an excessively dangerous
method of getting out OF a debt.
The people in the townships no
doubt have just reason to complain,
as they did not get the roads, but on
the other hand they seem to be
bringing on themselves no end of
trouble and are resorting to rene
dy which it is thought by many will
not hold in the courts.

TARIFF REVISION IN CANADA.

Tariff sentiment In Canada is lin a Curl
GUS state Of aux. The liberals who were
strongly in favor of tariff reductions and
reciprocal trade with the United States
when they came into power. Ave years ago,
seem to be veering around toward protec
ton. The conservatives who used to be
supposed to represent the concentrated
British loyalty and sentiment of Canada
are beginning to shy at preferences for
British goods, care little about reciprocity
and are strongly in favor Of a much sitter
tariff. It would not be fair statement
of the case to overlook the fact that a por-
tion Of the liberals Is even more stren-
uous than ever for lower tariffs. But the
cabinet, with Mr.. Tarte as thes extremist,
seems now to be leaning towards a pro-
tective policy.A gsga &
4 All the liberals are still strong for the
British preference and many Of them
would like to hoist the duty on American
goods while maintaining the preference.
They favor reciprocity OF trade or reei-
procity Of tariffs with the United States.
Not having been able to get the former
they propose the latter. II this element
controls the government there will be
tariff legislation at Ottawa this winter
hostile to America. Il q
II the free trade or low tariff liberals
triumph, however, the tariff question will
likely be the issue In the next elections.
