For years l was troubled with bill
iousness and constipation, which made
life miserable for me. My appetite
failed me. l lost my usual force and
vitality. Pepsin preparations and
cathartics only made matters worse.

been today had l not tried Chamber

i'll feeling at once, strengthen the di-
gestive functions, purify the stomach,

HAPPENINGS TWENTY YEARS AGO
CAS- Chroniced by The Bysander, May q, 1879

Geo. Taylor at her home, FOG East
Seventh street, last Monday evening.
The evening was spent in music,
games and social conversation. The
guests departed at a late hour feeling
very much pleased by the manner in
which they had been entertained.
There was about thirty present and
they were all in unison in saying that
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Taylor were good
entertainers.
The H. B. S. R. C. met with R. A.
Wilburn. After an interesting pro-
gram and talk by DR.. Johnson, we
adjourned to meet at Mrs. l. E. Will
liamson's, 1912 Mulberry street. Pro-
gram June 8: Magazine" Mrs. H.
H. Lewis; spelling contest, captains,
Mesdames H. H. Lewis and w. M.
Waricks. The club was visited by
Mesdames Davis, VIM. Nash, Lewis
and DR.. johnson.
The ladies of the Afternoon Social
club and their husbands were enter
tanned at the pleasant home of Mr..
and Mrs. Austen. The evening was
spent in social conversation and
games. Delicate refreshments were
served. The club then adjourned to
meet with Mrs. B. J. Holmes. 1921
Park street, Thursday afternoon,
June 3rd.
Mr.. C. S. Steward defended case
last Wednesday in the court. He won
the case. Those who heard him con-
duct it complmented him on the man
ner in which he conducted his side.
At No. 816 Park street is located
the beautiful little cottage residence
of Mr.. S. D. Miller. At No. 1872 Ninth
street will be found the little cozy
home of DIR. and Mrs. E. F. Johnson.
The A. M. E. choir is holding an extra
rehearsal each week. while preparing
for song service, June 9th, and on
Wednesday night of this week they
met with the doctor and his wife. Now
our friend Miller, wishing to break the
rule that call that is good has its orr
gin with woman" At the same time
he invited the choir to go with him
after rehearsal to No. 816 Park street.
All necessary arrangements had been
made for the refreshments by way Of
strawberries, ice cream and cake.
While they were being seated a still,
small voice seemed to whisper in the
ear of every one, saying, ''Let Coalson
be toastmaster." So. with one accord
he was given the seat at the head of
the banquet table. Those seated
around the festive board were Mes
danes Coalson, Blagburn, johnson,
Capart and Steward, Messrs. Coalson,
J. F. Blagburn, DR.. johnson, S. D. Mil
Ter. VIM. Foster and Moseley. For
some cause Mrs. w. H. Birney and
Mrs. ]. H. Shepard were unable to at
tend rehearsal; therefore they missed
the treat. We will not try to repeat
the many nice things they said to the
host, but it all meant the same thing
thanks.
The concert given at the Eighth
church of Christ, on Ninth street last
evening for the benefit of the church
was success from a literary view;
yet not as large a crowd as they had
hoped for the concert, consisting OF
solos, recitations, speaking, music and
a drill by the young girls, led by Miss
Morton. The specials were Renix
Mandolin orchestra, addresses by Rev.
Stewart of the East Side Baptist
church and j. L. Thompson. Much
credit is due to Miss Agnes Roy for
it's success. Ice cream and cake were
spread.
