This most aggravating and tormenting of all akin diseases is caused by an acid condition of

This buinniK, Itching humor apiears sometimes in little pustules, discharging a sticky fluid, which
forms crusts anil scales. Again the skin is drv, haul and fissured, itches intensely, bleeds aiid scabs over.
This is a painful and stublioru form of the disease
While licienm, Tetter, I-rysiprlas, Salt Rheum and manv like troubles are H.kcn of as diseases of
the skin, they are really blood diseases, because
THERE CAN BE NO EXTERNAL IRRITATION
WITHOUT AN INTERNAL CAUSE.
If the blood Is In a pure, healthy condition, no poisonous elements can reach the skin.
External applications of washes, lotions ami salves sometimes militate the itchini! and soothe ths
inflammation, but cannot reach the disease. Only S. S. S,, the real blood medicine, can do this.
S S. H., the only purely vegetable remedy known, is u safe and permanent cute for Kc.cina and all deep-seated blood anil

William llcnrv Jovnor was born in Knfit'Id. llalifux emmtv, X. ('., Sciiti'inlicr Hi, 18(17. His
father, )r. Henry Jtlyner, dieil when he was about H inonths old, mill his mother passed away a
few years later leaving him an orjihan at the tender age of seven years. He lived with his uncle,
Mr. 11. J. 1'oiie, unon his farm, near elilon until lxwi. He was then taken and adopted liy Jlr.
and Mrs. E. L, Suminerrll, of Northampton county. This excellent coujtle did all in their power
to contribute to the comfort and happiness of the young boy. He attended school at (Jarysburg
and then went to Hoi'iut'r, at Oxford, for two sessions, where he won honor and distinction,
standing first in all his classes. He was elected lieutenant of the military company, Horner Ca
dets after being there for only three months. Won the orator's medal at same session, given by
the ranklin society, of the school from the held of sixty competitors.
Mr. Joyner left school in IHHti and went back to his adopted home. After remaining upon the
farm two years he took charge of Mr. Summerell's store which he conducted until the year IBM.
Then being 22 years of age he decided to try life on his own responsibility, and located in the
town of (Jarysburg in the year ls'.iu. In the fall of the same year he was happily married to Miss
Mettie B. (Jams, a daughter of .Mr. James U. Gams. Pour children came to bless the union,
three of them now living.
as appointed tax collector for Oeconeechee township, when the law was passed allowing the
taxes to be collected by townships. Was reappointed in 1801. He was nominated in IK'JH for
sheriff of Northampton county by the Democratic county convention, but was defeated by Mr.
mittalo, who ran on the fusion ticket. He was nominated again tor sheriff this year and was elec
ted by the largest majority ever before given to any candidate in the ' county. His home was
larkened on .May 2Sth or the present year by the sudden death or his beloved wife.
Mr. Jovner is one of the most popular citizens of Northampton countv and en jovs the confidence
and esteem of all who know him. He is energetic and generally successful in everything he un
dertakes. That lie will make a good sheriff is a foregone conclusion and we know he will dis
charge the duties of the office without fear or favor and win the approbation of all parties.

due woman, who u II tier life has
senrvlied hi'fieaih her bed before retiring,
at one time found herself in possession
oi a fuldiii" inouslrosily, the intricacies
of which ahe had lirst to solve before
taking her well-earned rest. Hut such
is the force of habit. After pulling
down (he bed she would carefully look
beneath it, for no other reason than that
she had done so ever siuco she was a
child.
A favorite illusion is that of having
one's legs's seized, either from behiod in
going upstairs or on getting lot ) bed.
Women have often been seeo scuttiug
upstairs in the daik setting at defiance all
the laws of locomotion in a ludicrous at
tempt to keep their legs some distance
ahead of them and beyond the reach of a
mysterious clutch. Girls will also make
flying leaps into bed to cleminato the
same improbability.
Many women search diligently in
c'uscn, bureau drawers and all sorts of
impossible places before resigning them
selves to sleep. An old housekeeper
whose table silver, in two baskets, was
always placed in her bed-roum after the
evening meal, was one night awakened
by what she considered suspicious sounds
lum the lower regions. Cautiously leav
ing lur room laden with the eilver, she
pitched both baskets into the hall below,
calling out as she did so, "Take it all and
please go," then fled precipitately and
barricaded herself in her room. Need
les to add, she found both baskets and
scattered contents the following morning,
a lit t Ic tbe worse for the rougb handling
she had given taem.
