blow broke the bridge of his nose.
Afterward he talked through his nose.

around the house and the old man did
light work in the blacksmith shop.
His favorite Employment on Sunday

Why Not gilmore" COUNTY!

An agitation is in progress for the
formation of new county out of parts
of Laurcns, Union and Spartanburg
and its advocates would have it called
"Mus&rove," because the little battle
of Musgrove Mill in the Revolution
was fought on Enoree River within
the territory of the proposed county.
Whether or not the county be Gre
ated is not a question with which we
are concerned but if it be created,
why call it "Musgrove"? Does not
the battlefield commemorate itself or,
If it does not, will not the Daughters
of the Revolution erect stone so
that the spot shall not beforgotten i?
There was no prominent colonial
family named "Musgrove." Perhaps
the Mary Musgrove" of Kennedy's
novel once lived, but MARY Mus
grove" the heroine. is creation of
the novelist's fancy.
The district to be included in the
proposed county gave birth to one OF
the most distinguished of South Car
olinions, certainly the most distin-
guished man that Laurens county has
produced, Senator Franklin III. Ell

plantation, in Jacks township and

There is only one way to cure deaf

hamed condition of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t is entirely closed. deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-

be destroyed forever; nine cases out
