InfiammatOry Rheumatism Cured in Thre

Morton L. Hill, of Lebanon, Ind,
says: my wife bad inflammatory
rheumatism in every muscle and
joint; her suffering was terrible and
her body and face were swollen al
most beyond recognition; had been
in bed for six weeks and had eight
physicians, but received no benefit
until sho tried Mystic Cure for Rheu-
matism. 1t gave immediate relief
and she was able to walk about in
three days. 1 am sure it saved her

McDonald-Scot company.

This company has been filling a
weeks engagement at the courthouse
in repertoire and its productions
have been very clever: The com
pany is one of the best that has ever
visited Abbeville. The plays are of
the highest standard and the special
ties between acts are Of the highest
class. The ''Soldier's Sweetheart
and "Niobe'' were much enjoyed ::
but the greatest hit of all was the por-
trayal Of EAST Lynn9 on Thursday
night: On that occasion the pro
ceeds went to the Abbeyille High
School and an immense audience
greeted the players.
The songs and dances of Baby
Edna were received with enchores
each night and money was showed at
her feet. She is indeed a wonder.
The musical numbers by Nc
Donald and Scott were Of a high
order of merit and were loudly APP
plauded, and Cliff Watson's ragtimes
were great.
The attendance has been good and
the audiences have been we'll pleased
with the performances, and the the
atre going public will gladly welcome
back another season, the Mcdonald
Scott Co.
Friday night they play'Under Two
Flags and Saturday night 'The
Widow McGinty.' A matinee will
be given Saturday at $50 p, M.

To Be Strictly Up-to-Date.

Extensive improvements arc being
made at the elegant building of the
Dozier Candy Co. which will make 1t
STRICTLY UP-To-DATE. 1t is to be
thoroughly equipped with everything
that the twentieth century can give
to make it a model confectionery and
refreshment palace.
Work has already begun which is
to add new lustre to its beauty and
more convenience to its, utility and
which will be a browning effort as
the mind can conceive of nothing
more to be added after the present
improvements have been consummat-
ed.
To begin with the glass front is to
be remodeled into an artistic show
window. Beautiful marble-top coun-
tiers are to extend down both sides
Of the salesrocm; in the rear an
elaborate arch is to be erected and
the soda fount is to be placed in
the enclosure thus made. To the
west of the fount a beautiful bay
window is to be placed to give light
and make the place prettie1. Shelly
ing to match che soda fount is to ex-
tend around the'west wall of the sales
room and the floor is to be covered
with a handsome design of linoleum.
In the rear a gasoline engine is to
placed which will run an electric
dynamo to furnish light two drive
pumps, to furnish water for the
an ice machine for the
manufacture of ice. The water
works are to be thoroughly over
hauled and a four-inch descent main
substituted for the two-inch one now
IN use. The .waterworks tower is to
be inclosed. On the east side of
building a stairway is to ascend
and after circling reach the roof from
the rear Of building. On the roof
lovely roof-garden is to be made.
It will be a treat to visit this place
when completed and we predict
crowds will throng it this summer.
1t may not oe generally known but
this firm already has as fine and
large 8 cold storage as there is in
Town. They also have the completest
Kind Of equipment for the manufac-
lure of homemade candy which is
heir speciality. The lights now
lsed in the building are different
rom anything id town. They burn
gas made from compressed gasoline.
The machine which makes it stands

registering 60 pounds Wednesday
when this scribe called on an inspec-

AS these people have spent their
money SC freely for the benefit of the

An old maid lived in our town, so
1 have heard it said, who, if you
called dress "A gown, would blush

neither frail nor weak-her modesty
was rare, of autumn trees she'd never
speak because their limbs We're bare.
When night its sable shadows threw,
she'd tumble in swoon if curtain did
not hide from view the man up i'll the
moon. She never sang sacred song
IA very modest whim; To think Of
one she thought was wrong because
it was hymn. A plumber caused
her death one day-so the story goes
by asking her in careless way to

Last night couple of young men
were lying on the bank of the river in
the city park, quietly enjoying their
cigars. Soon there was murmer of
voices, n banter, more or less giggling,
splash, and then-festive calves dis
porting themselves in the water and
cleaning white in the starlight. The
young men kept very quiet, and after
the splashing ceased and the sportive
calves had disappeared, they found
that their cigars had gone out. They
lighted up and thoughtfully walked
back to town.
