When they found it, conned it, learned

To winged Pegasus turned it.
Then they harnessed it and hitched it to

And they rode abroad like witches,
Brought us back the very breeches

Are converted into tissue, vital force

WORSE.

Perhaps you have never thought
of it but The fact must be apparent
to every one that constipation is
caused by lack Of water in the sys-

tics like the old fashioned pills only
makes bad matter worse. Cham

are much more mild aud gentle in
their effect, and when the proper dose
is taken their action is SO natural
that one can hardly realize that it IS

-. Altar by Mr. Thomas E Allen.

On the eighteenth instant Mr.
Thomas + Allen, formerly OF
Fairfield county, was married 10
one OF Greelyville's most popular
and accomplished young ladies
Miss Mary Mac Brunson, the old
est daughter o. Mr. and Mrs K 8
Brunson. The marriage took
place al the home OF the bride
The parlor had been artiStically
arranged and beautifully deco
rated with ferns, chrvSanthemums
ani evergreens, which added to
the beauty OF the occasion.
Promptly at four o'clock p. m.

can be eqaaled only by those who
are skilled in the art of cooking
the best of vi,nds. The bride is a
charming, attractive AMI acc mp
lishei young lady, with large
circle of trends in this section.
The groom, who has resided only
three years in the county. is a
Young man OF sterling worth and
integrity. We feel that he has
been fortunate in leel in winning
the hand an | b .art OF oae Sn emf
Eently qualified to be helpins'e
in truth as well as in nam4.
The many presents given to tn
bride and the groom attest the

 The man who went to the Aldrich house some time ago and registered un- der the name of J. J. Ward, New Ha- yen," and who then committed suicide, has been identified by Detective Don- nelly as Samuel Hague, jr., of Milford this state. The manner in which the Identification came about is of an in~ teresting nature. Captain CoWles was asked by the hospital authorities to as- sist in finding out who the man was. Detective Donnelly was detailed on the case and he found a man who had bought an OVerCoat of man answering the description of the man registered as Ward on the day of the suicide. The buyer stated that he had bought the coat of a man of the name of Samuel Hague, jr, of Milford, and that he knew no U. J. Ward" Detective Don- nelly then took the man to the morgue, where the remains lay, and he identi- fled the deceased positively as MT. Hague.
