a Weak
StOEnn aCha

Indigestion is often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use Of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with
out the stomach's aid. This rest and
the Wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unneces-
sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feel
ing of fulness aud bloating from
which some people suffer after meals
Absolutely cures indigestion.

New Road Needed.

There is movement on foot to open
up new road to West Springs which
will shorten the road about three miles
giving practically a straight and level
road from Buffalo to West Springs, and
will miss the steep hill on both sides of
the Forest near Mr.. II. II. Robinson's
house which is in bad shape every win
ter. 1t will give quicker and better
marketing facilities to upper Bogans-
vile in bringing them in closer touch
with both Buffalo and Union. We have
seen petition for signatures and it is
pretty well filled by the citizens of
Bogansville. Perhaps if this road could
be got through we wotld be able to
make some better arrangements for get
ting mail to and from West Springs.
We certainly would like to see this done.
as the West Springs people are now get
ting very poor mail service.

Letter to HiIIcrest Dairy.

Union, s. G.
Dear Sirs: There are several WAYS
Of cheating in milk. An old. .fashi on :
ed way Is to water it. Nobody waters
it now. A better way is to take out
the cream-rich milk with the cream
taken out Is as good as poor milk
with its cream all in.
But we needn't 60 into particulars.
You don't rob your milk and-your
customers.
Paint is as easy as milk to cheat
with. Good paint is as rare as good
milk; for human nature is much the
same in milk men and paint men.
You are just and true with your
milk; so are we with our paint. De.
voc Lead and Zinc is twice as good as
mixed paints; There's twice as much
butter in it.
Mr.. J. T. Ladd, Cheraw, s. c.,
writes:
When Mr.. Evans painted his house
with Devoe Lead and Zinc, he figured
on the basis Of your claim that a gal
lon will cover 3CO square feet, two
coats. He had enough left to paint
three large rooms, and was so pleased
that he has used Devoe Lead and
Zinc on two other houses.
Yours truly,

The Hanna Pension Fraud.

Mark Hanna's bill to pension the ex-
slaves has been punctured and shown to
be a fraud on its face. Messrs. Dear
mond, of Missouri, and Richardson, Of
Tennessee, of the House, have forced
Mr.. Cannon, the Republican leader, into
corner and compelled him to admit
that there is no intention whatever in
Congress to pass any such bill. 1t has
been shown up that the introduction of
the bill was only ruse to get the votes
of the negro delegates in the Republican
National Convention to supp ort Mark
Hanna or his candidate. 1t also devel
oped that the bill. was being used by
Northern adventures in the South to
swindle the negroes.

Lard Expensive and Injurious

Lara expensive ana injurious.
Lard is not only expensive but ipju-
rious to the health when used in lib
eral quantities. To make the So
called cheap patent fours white

the flour; then it is necessary to load
it up with lard in order to make it

Union Pacific officials have decided
that they can take no steps with regard
to the increase of wages demanded by
the conductors and brakemen without
the aid Of President Burt, says the ON

bers of the grievence committee of the

ment with Superintendent of Transpor-
tation Buckingham for 1890 yesterday
morning. at which it was thought the
matter would be taken up. At that
time. however, Mr.. Buckingham in
formed Mr.. Macomber that nothing
could be done without President Burt,
the proposition to have the wages
raised 20 per cent will go ove for a
few days at least.

DESTRUCTIVE WIND STORM
ON THE LARAMIE PLAINS.

William johnson, the rural mail a
rier, gives some of the details of the
severe storm that visited the plains
up toward Woods Landing Tuesday.
He says the wind blew from the north
west, and in places much damage was
done. Andrew Popp had a long cattle
shed, 200 feet long and housing rs head
of cattle, blown down. but non of the
cattle were killed. Miles of fence were
blown down, stacks. of hay were over
turned and rails scattered for several
hundred yards. At the Homer ranch
some old haystacks were blown down,
big punches of hay being carried into
the air. For a mile and a half coming
down the Mansfield hill toward the L.e-
Roy bridge all the fencing was blown
down. The wind storm was the worst
known in years there.

BRIEF DISPATCHES.

Only a philosopher can loaf success
fully.
The thought of work t o do gives zest
to idleness.
Genius consists in making the other
fellow do the work.
If a man isn't a law unto himself
he may never hope for justice.
If you think of what a lot of work
you've got to do you'll get it done.
Make every minute count, but don't
try to make it count more than one.
1t is after Thanksgiving that one
appreciates the staying qualities of a
turkey.
The stereotyper is the only friend
you have who is not liable to give you
the III direct.
The printer believes in returning
good for evil. Give him impudence
and he'll give you pi.
Aggressive optimism is like a sur
felt of candy. Persistent pessimism is
as a diet of dry bread and vinegar.
That man is happy who is sufficient
IL conceited. That man will make
others happy who sufficiently conceals
the fact.
Only the men who know how to
work know how to loaf. 1t is as much
a mistake to confine oneself to one as
to the other.
Even as a man may train himself
to sleep in ~ boiler factory-and he
can-so can q man preserve a calm
content while the heather rage about
him.

LIES Throbbinu Loom.

hhS Ah5
Time is the warp.
Pulsing and throbbing. life's loom goes:
Spinning. spinning, spinning.
Mans deeds the wool,
Quickly and busily the shuttle he throws.
The little child takes up the task,
AS soon as consciousness begins,
His tiny hands uncertain act
AS merrily he needless spins.
The youth, with pride and confidence,
Loud vaunts the deeds he will achieve,
The future big with great events
In blazing light his name will weave.
Hard pressed. beset. the mantoils on,
Speed by the days, the months. the
years.
Aghast and desperate he stands,
So small his greatest work appears.
With palsied hand old age has come.
Slow goes the loom. Fate cuts the
thread:
Wide yawns the grave: the web is spun
a shrOud is woven for the dead.
IT'S thus through life: man spins and
weaves
Until of time and deeds complete
This mystic robe. his very self,
Becomes for him his winding-sheet.
Weaving, weaving. weaving,

Pulsing and throbbing, life's loom goes.
Spinning. spinning. spinning,
Mans deeds the woof,
Ever and ever the shuttle he throws.
