NO MORE STOMACH TROUBLES.

NO MORE STOMACH TROUBLES.
Stomach trouble is removed by use OF
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t gives the stom-
ach rest by digesting what you eat with
out the stomach's aid. The food builds
up the body, the rest restores the stom-
ach to health. You don't have to diet
yourself when taking Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure. J. D. Erskine, of AllenVille, Mich,
saws, II suffered heartburn and stomach
trouble for some time. My sister-iE-law
had the same trouble and was not able to
eat for weeks. She lived entirely on warm
water. After taking two bottles of Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure she was entirely cured.
She now eats heartily and in good health.
l am glad to say Kodol gave me instant
relief" Sold by II. F. Hoover.

TONIC TO THE SYSTEM.

For liver troubles and constipation
there is nothing better than DeWitt's
Little Early Risers, the famous little pills.
They do not weaken the stomach. Their
action upon the system is mild, pleasant,
harmless. Bob Moore, of Lafayette, Ind,
says, "No use talking, DeWitt's Little
Early Risers do their work. All other
pills have used gripe and make me sick
in the stomach and never cured me. De-
Wits Little Early Risers proved to be
the long sought relief. They are simply
perfect" Persons travelling find Little
Early Risers the most reliable remedy to
carry with them. Sold by II. F. Hoover.

R. R. AGENT ARRESTED AT GREERs.
He is Charged With Having EmbezzIed Three
Thousand Dollars.

GREENv1LLE, January 23.-Thomas ID.
Hill, agent for the Southern Railway at
Greer's, s. c., was arrested today at the
instance of the American Surety Com
pany, of New York, which concern is on
his bond, charged with having embezzled
$4,000. The prisoner was brought here
this afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Gilreath
and arraigned before F. B. McBee, the.
magistrate issuing the warrant, who re-
leased the defendant on bail in the sum Of
$1,000 until January Both, when he will
have preliminary examination.
Hill has hitherto enjoyed splendid
reputation on account of being an elder
in the Presbyterian Church, and popu-
lar Sunday-school superintendent In
Greers, where his arrest caused sensa-
ton.
He admits that he is irregular in his ac-
counts, but insists that it is the result Of
bad book keeping on his part. Several
years ago the safe at Greer's was robbed
and Hill was shot several times, but re-
fused to surrender. His friends claim
that the shock from the wounds wrecked
his health and affected his mind.
