Avoloe from Old pIokens.

Old Pickens. s. G., April II. 190S.--
Editors Courier: Good Friday, the eclipse
of the moon and Easter Sunday, with all
its sacred associations, came in quick
succession, followed on Sunday night
and Monday by the heavist down pour OF
rain we hayo had the present year, doing
much damage to rolling lands and roads,
week. This is very discouraging to the
farmers, as scarcely any planting has
been done and much of the land Is not
prepared as it should be.
The fruit is about all killed by the re-
cent frost.
Our County Supervisor, Mr.. ID. f.. Nc
Alister, and Commissioners, Mr.. j. r.
zachary, were among us last week. look
ing after roads and bridges. They met
the county officers of Piokens at the iron
bridge to let job of repairing, which
was bid off by the lowest bidder at 1915,
but our Supervisor, with an eagle eve to
the interest of hiscounty, promptly re-
fused to accept the bid. Being prevailed
upon to reopen the bidding the work was
awarded to Mr. S. l.. Richardson at $278,
thus saving the counties of Oconee and
Pickens one hundred dollars in less than
that many minutes. The prospect for
Improvement i'm county affairs under the
present board is encouraging.
Mr.. Edward CAN'T has been doing some
excellent work on the roads in this neigh
borhood.
Mr.. Thomas r. Keith lost good mule,
which mired up in the bottom near Cane
creek, on the Seneca road, and struggled
until it died. Healso killed fine porker
which nettsd abontfour hundred pounds Sass Z
Mr.. Tom Turner, on the Keith planta-
tion, is the father of fourteen pound
boy, and Mr.. Pruitt on the same place
rejoices in the birth of fine son.
This community received with much
of Mr.. L.. w. Jordan, late President of
the Seneca cotton mill, and for long
time one of the most prominent business
men of the place. He was a pure, good
man, Christian gentleman, and will be
mourned by many who were the recipi-
ents of his kindness, as his heart
abounded in kindness and charity. His
death entails great loss upon Seneca
and Oconee county.
In this connection we are reminded of
the recent death of the late Matthew w.
Coleman, senior member of the firm of
Messrs. Coleman IS Co., with whom Mr..
Jordan was for long time associated in
business. How sad that two such men,
in the prime of manhood, in the midst
of successful business career and WELD
ing so great an influence for good in the
should be removed from
their families, their friends and their
countryl
But if we are to Judge from honorable
records and pure Christian lives, s'our
loss is their eternal GAIN" and the rising
young men of their acquaintances will
do well to study their characters, follow
their examples and emulate their virtues.

Proprietor Lockwood of the Naples
Hotel to write to Chief Murphy enclosing
a letter postmarked Jersey City, Septem-
her 13, in which Proprietor Lockwood
was asked his terms, commencing Sep
tember 21. The letter was signed by l..
Dodd, sub station No. 4, Jersey City.
Chief Murphy. of this city, assigned
Detective Gallagher to the case and the
detective soon learned that G. L. Dodd
was G. L. Doggett twenty years old, of
No 553 Communipaw avenue. this city,
and that he had recently married Jennie
Hersen, nineteen years old, of No. 1413
Greene avenue, Brooklyn. Chief Murphy
wired Mr.. Lockwood the correct name
of the two guests who had so mysterious
ly disappeared and asked whether or not
thev had paid their board dill.
The reply that Chief Murphy got was
to the effect that the young couple were
all right; that after leaving the hotel
they had walked five miles to farm
owned by John Beehcer. The farm was
known as nutsyille. To Mr.. Beecher
the young couple explained that they had
no money and wanted work. They were
set to work picking apples for their
board. The reply the Chief received
from Mr.. Lockwood also stated that
young Dogett called on the following
Sunday afternoon for the dress suit case
and gave as an excuse for going away
so mysteriously that he had lost his
pocketbook containing $40. He squared
accounts and the people of that rural
section who searched the mountains for
him and his wife on the night of the
couples disappearance, fearing some i'll
fate had befallen them, are now resting
easy.

YOU WILL BE ALL
SMILES AGAIN
Forget Your Stomach and You'll
Have Santa Claus Face.
HOW TO DoIT.

If there is one thing more than all
others that will give man a forlorn and
friendless appearance and make him NOR
bid and cranky" and disagreeable, that
thing is dyspepsia. 1t makes one forget
his friends and become morose and irri-
table. He is so wrapped UP in his own
misery that he is inconsiderate of every
one else. Relieved of this terrible and
depressing ailment, he again becomes a
good fellow and man among men.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are beyond
question the most effective and popular
remedy ever offered to the sufferers of
this terrible disease. The thousands and
thousands of cures they have brought
about and the enormous increase of their
sales fully attest the truth of this state
ment
They are, above all, natural remedy.
They possess exactly the same properties
that the gastric juices and other diges-
tive fluids of the stomach possess, and
they actually do the digestive work of
the stomach and enable that organ to rest
and recuperate and become sound and
well. They act in mild, natural man
ner and cause no disturbance in the di-
gestiye organs. They prevent any fer
mentation of the food which causes sour
stomach. In fact, under their influence
the subject forgets that he has stomach
and his resulting cheerfulness presents a
great contrast to his former detection.
Millions of boxes of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are sold annually and they are
but in the dawn of their popularity.
Every mail brings letters of thanksgiving
from grateful ones who have been cured
of this terrible disease The following is
one of hundreds received each week:
Rev. j. r. Hoag, of Wymore, Neb.,
writes: 'For six years | have been troub-
led with dyspepsia. Last fall l became
very much alarmed at some symptoms of
heart trouble and came to belive there
was sympathetic relation between the
two diseases. or rather that the stomach
trouble was the cause of the heart dis
turbance. l hit upon Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets for a remedy and invested dol
lar and half for three boxes which last
ed ME three months, and | can eat any
kind of food | want and haea good vigor-
Gus appetite. Although l am now II
years old, l new feel perfectly well and
without being requested by anyone l
make this statement as compliment to
the virtues of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets.''
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale
by all druggists at so cts. box.
