You Can Feel
Better at Once |!

When everything seems an effort when yeu
feel tired most of the time, when you wake up,
every morning as tired as when You went to
bed,--then there.is something wrong.
Nature is protesting against some neglect or
some abuse.
Nature protests more often against nerve neg.
lect than any other cause
Remember, your strength is not in your MUS
cies-the muscles simply work when the Nerve
Force tells them to.
Even your brain does not work BY itself-the
substance in your brain cells must have energy to
do its work; this energy must be nerve force
the same great power-of-life that controls every
organ of the body.
Every form of weakness, or sickness, or dis
ease. comes from lack of Nerve Force to keep
the organs working properly. 1
When one speaks of "a good constitution, one
simply means strong, healthy nerve system.
When the nerve system is not strong and we'll
nourished it follows inevitably that one is easily

PERUVIAN GUAN0 AND MURATE POTASH.
Court.

The Court of Common Pleas ad-
iourned sine die, by operation OF
law, on Saturday afternoon last and
Judge Izlar returned to his home.
When We went to press last
Wednesday the trial was IN progress
in the case of Mrs. Tillie Martin vs.
Southern Railway Company. The
case was concluded on that day and
verdict for S40O. given.
There was one other trial by jury
brought up. Daniel E Shumpert,
through his attorneys, Messrs. Gra-
ham and Crawford, eued the South
ern Railway Company for damages
by fire burning over his lands and
timber in March CT last year. The
IRE was easily seen from here and
lasted several days, burning over q
big territory aud causing great de-
struction. Mr.. E. III. Thomson
appeared for the corporation and set
up the defense that the fire did not
originate from the railroad, but from
new ground of Sam R,!aud, and
the Jury evidently took this view of
it, az they found verdict in favor OF
the defendant.
a few cases we're heard on the
equity side of the court, in most OF
woich the Judge withheld his de-
cision.

Death Of Mrs. Daisy Heron.

Mrs. Daisy Earhsrds Heron, deugh-
ter of Mr.. J. Wolfe and Joanna Ear
hardt, formerly of this place. died in
Columbis, at Las O'Clock Monday
morning, of pneumonia.
Only a few years ago We saw her
leave this place for her new home in
Columbia, happy joyous young
girl, just blooming into sweet young
womanhood. Later on, only q few
short months, she stood happy
bride pledging her love and devotion
20 the man of her choice before God's
holy altar. Scarcely had the scent
of the roses faded and ere the bridal
trousseau been laid aside, and yet
while the sun of happiness shone
brightly into the lives and hearts OF
the happy pair, death invaded the
peaceful home and took away the
lovely woman and shrouded the
home in darkness and gloom leaving
the efHicted sadly to mourn their
loved one.
Mrs. Heron was 8 woman OF lovely
disposition. gentle to the suffering,
kind to the poor and needy, and her
lovely, bright Christian character
adorned her life like halo of glory
from the throne of God. The inter-
ment was at E'mwood on Tuesday
morning at 1890 O'clock, where
loved one sleeps in that beautiful city
of the dead, there to await that
glorious day. May God console the
afflicted ones.
