THE OXFORD PUBLIC LEDGEE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1905. ehupTIOiiS Have been suffering from Impure Blood for many years, having Boils and other Eruptions. Having heard of S. S. b.

DETERS. For over fifteen years I have suffered more or less from Impure Blood. About a ear ago I had a boil appear on my leg below the knee, which was followed by three more on my neck. I saw S. b. b. advertised and decided to try it. Alter taking three bottles all Boils disappeared and I have not been troubled any since. Geo. G. Fertig. 114 W. Jefferson St., Louisville, Ky. Newark, Ohio, May 23, 1903. From childhood I had been bothered with bad blood, skin eruptions and boils. I had boils ranging from five to twenty in number each season. The burning ac companying the eruption was terrible. S. S. S. seemed to be just the medicine needed in my case. It drove out all impu rities and bad blood, giving me perma nent relief from the skin eruption and boils. This has been ten years ago, and I have never had a return of the disease. Mrs. J. D.

A mother's love is so divine that the rougnest man can not help but appre ciate it as the crown of womanhood. However, Mother hood is looked for ward to with feelings of great dread by al most all women. At such times a wom- 1 an is nervous, dvs- peptic, irritable, and she is in need of a uterine tonic and nervine, a strength builder to fit her for the ordeal. No matter how healthy or strong a woman may be she cannot help but be benefited by taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription to prepare for the event. This is what one mother jays : "With a heart overflowing with gratitude I will endeavor to write you. It is nearly two years ago since I first wrote to you for advice regarding my health which was then very bad," writes Mrs. I. Poore, of Hinesdale, Ky., to Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting surgeon of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. "I have described my sufferings in other letters to you. After receiving your advice and the ' Common Sense Medical Adviser ' I bought some of your ' Favorite Prescription,' and to-day am a well woman and the proud mother of a dear little boy." Backed up by over a third of a century of remarkable cures, a record such as no other remedy for the diseases and weak nesses peculiar to women ever attained, the proprietors and makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully war ranted in offering to pay S500 in legal money of the United States, for any case of Lencorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they caanct cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure. Their financial responsibility is well known to every newspaper publisher and druggist in the United States, with most of whom they have done business for over a third of a century. ( How to live in health and happiness, is the general theme of Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser.

Every Two Minutes Physicians tell us that all the blood in a healthy human body passes through the heart once in every two minutes. If this action be comes irregular the whole body suffers. Poor health follows poor blood ; Scott's Emulsion makes the blood pure. One reason why SCOTT'S EMULSION is such a great aid is because it passes so quickly into the Mood. It is partly di gested before it enters the stomach ; a double advan tage in this. Less work for the stomach; quicker and more direct benefits.

The Northern papers are telling the South how foolish it is acting in burn ing their cotton. 1 he comments are all because a crank farmer at Fort Wayne, Ga., burned just one bale..

If we bad a couple of million bales of cotton too many, we think that in stead of burning them we would just lay them aside and proceed to plant eora, potatoes, tobacco, and a few other crops and wait till somebody wanted to buy cotton at a reasonable price. Charlotte News. The President suggestion that a whipping post be set up at Washing ton for the punishment of wife beat ers seems likely to be answered prac tically. The suggestion has been ap proved by eminent authority, and the telegraph reports that there is a dis position to make a trial of it. Durham has been dry for a year, and according to the report of the chief of police, who inspected the books, four drug stores which sold liquor in that town during the year filled about 6.000prescriptioD8 for the medicine. This report does not in elude whiskey mixed with other drugs, but just the plain article. This was considerable business in that time and the Herald says it does not count "what .they have done on the side," this being an intimation that a record of all the sales is not in sight. Statesvilie Ladmark. The farmers of the south have their fortunes m their own hands. They can make themselves and consequent ly the whole south prosperous, if they will take advantage of the opportu nities before them. They have a coun try in which they can raise practically everything. They can produce al most all of the great staples and realize money for their, work. True, cotton and tobacco are accounted their money crops; but by an intelli gent system of farming all crops can be made money crops. The world has always and will con tinue to be full of hypocrites, of men who pose as the embodiment of hon esty and uprightness, but who are at heart as base as sin. Exemplary in one or two things, they are the vilest of hypocrites in others and the queerest thing about it all is that they think they are fooling some one, but even if they could foot man they ought to know that they are not fooling God Almighty. Nobody is in mind; we run across them so often that they ex cite no surprise. Greensboro Record. Very Sad Death Near Northside.

Conductor Cain of the Seaboard Road who put off his train a crowd of druuken men near Weldon a few days ago deserves the commendation of all well behav ed people. Not only did he put them off, but for their acts of rowdyism on the train he is after them now with the officers of the law and will pros ecute them.

PANSY. omcs Editor of Public Ledger: The ar ticle in your late issue "Pathetic Ap peal" signed by "Methodist" must have been written by one of the new ly converted Trust Methodist in your community, for there are some who a few years ago were loudly denounc ing the trusts, but more recently have been given jobs or have been enabled to make some money by the trusts. li ow they are preaching them up and saying they are doing great good. Some of them go so far as to say that the Duke's did right to take from the fanners and give to Trinity College. It must have been one of this class who wrote the article and did not have the manhood to sign his name to it. If your "Methodist" could have stood with me in theMethodist church in Henderson at the Conference and heard the name of T. J. Gattis called and heard his Presiding Elder read his little piece from the last Journal of the conference and not a word said against the character of the man who caused the suit, and then see T. J. Gattis leave the church realizing that a majority of his brethren with whom he had served so long were against him he must have thought that here Is wanting christian charity. But there was one ray of light to this dark picture. Father Betts and a few pth ers gave him a cordial greeting and bid him God speed. T. J. Gattis frtood as blameless before his confer ence as any of Presiding. Elders until he testified against J. C. Kilgo, and those of us who heard the trial know that his testimony was fully substant iated by Judge Shuford, and there are thousands of us who believe that he spoke the truth. Has it come to this that a minister cannot tell the truth as he sees it with out - beinsr shunned by his brethren? It is reported that the pastor of the Methodist church of Oxford didn't speak to Bro. Gattis during the long trial. 1 am glad to say there are a number of our preachers "who have not bowed their knees to baal" (trust money,) but they can't speak out, they see how Bro. Gattis has baen treated and they see the time is not yet, but oh how long. J. P. HUNT. Watcins. The sound of the hammer'saw aid trowel is the order of the day on Broadway. This year we will have a first class harness shop, operated by Mr. Dave Wrenn, who understands the business thoroughly. Next comes the market nouse run by Mr. Jim wrenn. Mr. J no Wrenn is rapidly complet ing his dwelling, and he expects to move next week. Mr Wrenn served four years in the confederate army. At the close of the war he came home to find desolation and ruin. He had nothing on earth but a wife and two small children, (not even a potto cook in.) but full of pluck, which has char acterized his life, he went to work de termined to have something. He rais ed nine children (mostly girls) all hon orable men and women. About seven or eight vears after the war Mr. Wrenn was stricken wiih rheumatism in one of his limbs, which cause! him to use a cane and crutch, but if you were to see him moving up and down the street you would take him to be a young man. I was somewhat amused a few days ago as the boys were pointing out the location for each building here, Dave says there will be the harness ehon. Jim says pointing to the side of it will be the market. No says Dave that must go to the rear. No says Jim 1 am several years your senior and it must go where 1 say. The boys will not dis agree. I think Jim willjagree to build in the rear or Mr. w A.

UUAZ. On December the 27th at three o'clock, p. m. while every one was joy ous and happy over the Christmas f es tivities, and the sun after having hid den his face for four days, had just shone forth in beauty and splendor, there was a pretty marriage at the home of Mr. Sam Green way ; where a large number of friends had gathered to witness the nuptials of his daugiter Miss. Mamie and Mr. Troy Parham both, of Vance County. Rev. J, E. Hartsell, of Littleton, performed the ceremony. The wedding march was skillfully rendered by Miss Belle Green way a cousin ot the bride. The parlor was beautifully decorated and lighted with candles. The bride was richly gowned in blue silk and real lace. After congratulations were over, the bridal nartv renaired to the hospitable home of Mr. H.B. Hicks, a brother in law of the groom, where a sumptuous eupper had been prepar ed. The parlor and sitting room pres ented a lovely scene, aod was a perfect bower of ferns, potted plants and holly. Mrs. Hicks is noted far and near for her success in cake making, ana it is not an exaggeration to say that she excelled herself on this occa sion. The table was loaded with choice meats, cakes, oranges and can dies.in fact there was nothing lacking to tempt the appetite of the most las tidious. The crowd was entertained by music, social games and a little device for giving your correct weight tor one cent. The presents were many and useful. From present in dications there will be several more marriages in that community in the near future. We stayed till a late hour and no doubt each one voted that Mr. and Mrs. Hicks could not be beaten for old fashioned hospitality. The bride and groom are amongVanee Counties most popular young people and we wish them a. long life of un broken happiness. A FRIEND. The New Idea Woman's Magazine for February.

Indigestion Causes Catarrh of the Stomach. For many years it has been supposed that Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion nd dyspepsia, but the truth Is exactly the opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re peated attacks of indigestion inflames the mucous membranes lining the stomach and. exposes the nerves of ( he stomach, thus caus ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of the juices of natural digestion. This is called Catarrh of the Stomach. ECodol Dyspepsia Gurc relieves all inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the stomach, protects the nerves, and cures bad breath, sour risings, a sense of fullness after eating, ind gestion, dyspepsia and all stomach troubles.
