LITTLE CHILD's BODY FOUND.
River Gives Up It's Dead
and Solves Mystery.

The mystery of the disappearance
of the little four-year-old child from
the Pine Mountain, Ga, section has
been solved.
Last Monday the little body was
washed to the banks OF the Chattoo-
ga river, and it was discovered by
people in that section, who, though
having given up active search for the
child, were still alert for any clue
that might lead to it's finding. J. G.
Powell, Of the Russell section, was
in Walhalla Tuesday and reported
the facts as above given. The body
it is said, was in fair state Of pres
ervation, though it is now about
three weeks since the child disap-
peared.
While the mystery Of the where
abouts Of the child is cleared up, still
it is cause for wonder and specula-
ton as to how the little one got into
the river, as the Chattooga is be-
tween two and two and a half miles,
at it's nearest point. from the home Of
the child's father, John Owens.

TIM sULLIyAN's SAD FATE.
n. Y. Congressman, Once NewsbOy,
Suffers Loss OF Mind.

New York, Jan. 11.-By court or
der, it was learned to-day, Congress
man-elect "Tim" Sullivan, long a
prominent figure IN State legislative
affairs, will be formally committed
to a private sanitarium in Yonkers.
He has been a voluntary patient for
several months, recuperating, 1t has
been said, from nervous breakdown,
but upon application yesterday by
relatives q court order was Issued,
formally committing the patient. The
action seems to involve the probabil-
ity of a special election for Congress-
man to succeed Sullivan in the Thir-
teenth District.
Mr. Sulliyan's career has been un.
usual, starting as a newsboy on East
Side. One of his most popula.' fea-
lures has been charitable work.
Every Christmas he has distributed
thousands of pairs Of shoes and other
useful gifts, besides giving great
dinner for the poor.

FROM THE NEW SUPERVISOR.
Gives to the Public Account of Con-
ditiOnS As He Finds Them.

diti0ns AS He Finds Them.
Editor Keowee Courier: Just for
bit Of information, and in accordance
with my promise to the public, | wish
to give an account Of the condition
Of Oconee county as far as | am able
to find.
1st. The Poor Farm, which would
term a model farm U know Of no
better in our county,, comprises 26S
acres, about 100 acres in high state
of cultivation, all terraces accurate
and thoroughly established, about 80
acres in well .sodded bermuda pas
ture. There are plenty of good
buildings, well arranged and in good
condition, and a full equipment Of
farming tools; four good milch COWS,
plenty Of pigs for this falls killing.
There are fourteen paupers, who
seem to b" well cared for. The whole
situation at the Poor Farm seems to
be excellent. We have two good 800
pound mules at the farm, which we
can use with road machine. We also
have four county road mules, which
have seen their best days with the
road machine, and are nowready- to be
led "over the hill to the poor farm"
where they, too, can spend their last
days at such work as they are able
to perform. This leaves us ten good
mules, which will just fit up our road
equipment-siX for the machine and
four for plow in connection there
with. We now have eight convicts,
one very good road machine, three
others badly worn and crippled up.
I'd. AS to the county'S financial
condition, ! cannot yet give out any
accurate figures. There are quite a
number of claims audited, but we
have no available funds to meet
them. We also have two notes at
the Enterprise Bank ($9,000), and a
lot of claims still to audit When the
Treasurer has collected all the taxes,
and we have paid as far as it goes.
we will probably lack several thou
sand dollars to meet these demands.
In regard to the bonded debt (Which
is provided for by special levy) we
still have about $32, 900 outstanding.
SO J. seems that the Indebtedness of
Oconee county, after all taxes are in
and applied, will be approximately
$4,000, without a single dollar in
sight for any county purpose this
side Of next falls taxes, with the ex-
ception of about $4,000 commutation
road taX-and about 1900 miles of
Iodu 10 WOrK WITH tnaC small pit
tance. Yet / can hurl my hat in the
air and proclaim Good Roads for
Oconee County," 1t is not American
spirit to turn back, but ever look
forward-the goal" is always in
front, and not so far ahead as one
would often suppose.
Entertain every good roads thought
that presents itself to you; it is pure
food for this great, progressive good
roads spirit that is revolutionizing
the good roads proposition of our
country. While our whole surround
ing country is moving ahead at great
strides with good roads, Oconee can
come. The ambition Of my life is
good roads for Oconee county. | in
vite cooperation.
Respectfully,

FRAlL. SICKLY CHILD
Restored to Health by Vinol-
Letter to Mothers.

Anxious mothers often wonder why
their children are so pale, thin and
nervous and have so little appetite.
For the benefit of such mothers in
this vicinity We publish the following
letter.
J. Edmund Miller, New Haven,
Conn, says: my little daughter, ever
since her birth, had been frail and
sickly, and was a constant source of
worriment. Several months ago we
commenced to give her Vinol. l i'm
mediately noted an improvement in
her health and appearance. / gave
her three bottles of Vinol, and from
the good it has done her / can truly
say it will do all you claim"
This child's recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal
elements extracted from Gods livers,
combined with the blood-making
and strengthening properties Of
tonic iron. which are contained in
Vinol.
Vinol will build up and strengthen
delicate children, old people and the
weak. rundown and debilitated. We
return the money in every case where
It fails.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf

inflamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube is inflamed yon have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed, DeaS.vss is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
