Concerning Good Roads.

Attention rs called to the account
of the York County Good Roads
Convention published on page 6, of
the current issue Of this paper. In
the absence of the editor the present
writer does not feel justified in com.
menting upon the merits or dement's
OF thess resolutions. However, they
are printed for the benefit of the
public and those who contemplate
attending the convention for this
county the 20sh instant, will doubt
less find it profitable to study them.
The civilization of people is said to
be measured by their roads and by
what they read. Some things ale
certain. Lexington county is in need
OF better roads than she now has.
II she is to have them, the sooner
the better, and those who attend the
convention for this county should
come with some practical, econom-
ical scheme for immediate work along
this line. Let the people study the
York county plan, adopt what is
good and reject what is bad.

81 take pleasure in Joining with
General Wheeler, Congressman

Catarrh Cured.
All phases Of catarrh, acute or chronic,
are promptly and permanently cured.
1t is through its operation upon the ner-
vous system that Peruna has attained
such worldwide reputation as sure
and reliable remedy for all phases of
catarrh wherever located.
Mr.. Jas. O. NORM, 1179 Ontario street
Montreal, Canada, writes:
"Peruna is certainly great catarrll
remedy. 1t cured me Of catarrh of the
head and I gladly indorse it. Canadians
are peculiarly afflicted with this disease
and for years the doctors have tried to
overcome it with elixirs, powders and
pills, but Peruna has solved the question
and since the medicine has been estab-
ished here hundreds of people have
been cured of catarrh."-Jas. 0. Norm.
II you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad'
vice free.

sent of the powers that be-and
arriving at the midnight hour, arous-
ed the Rev. DR.. Edwards of that
place and were happily married.
Again last Wednesday p. m, one
of our most popular young men, M.
B. Edwards, visited Miss Ssllie Greg
ory to go driving. The carriage
rolled rapidly to Leesville, where the
couple were married. The grooms
father, Rev Joab Edwards, pronoupc
ed the nuptial ceremony. After
awhile spent with the family there
they returned to the home of Mr.. [
Edwards and the family and friends
in large numbers greeted them with
an ovation. All heartily enjoyed
the humor of the handsome young
couple, who outwitted the curious by
eluding them in the quiet drive to
the neighboring town. They are re.
ceiving the congratulations of our
people and are among the most
popular young people of our town.
The Presiding Elder of this Dis
trict, Rev. Mr.. Beasly, has been in
town few days. He held quarterly
meeting at Providence, near here,

the opinion is freely expressed that
the prices will be better than for a
number of years past.
