It is dated Jan. 4. 1808, and is called “L’Athenee des Dames.’ The articles are evidently written by women, and the object of the paper seems to have been an attempt to place women on an equal footing with men. The feminine pioneers of 1808 were evidently a hundred years ahead of their times. “La Fonda," the Par isian newspaper, written, printed and published by women, is now in its third year and appears to be successful, while only one copy of “L’Athenee des Dames’’ is to be found. SIOO Reward, SIOO. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn tuat there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all stages and j that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure ' is the only positive cure now known to the medical ease, requires a consti-1 tutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh | Cure is taken internally, acting di- j rectly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength bv building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in is curative powres, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonals. Address, F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, O.

She with her husband came to Decatur in April 1893 where they resided until August 3,1898 when deathclaimedthe husband and father. While quite young she united with the M. E. church in Fairfield county and lived a devoted ehristian life through all her years. She has been afflicted for some time with a complication of diseases incident to old age. and death was a relief to her untold sufferings. She was a devoted wife and mother ever ready to extend a helping hand to the needy and afflicted. Truly another kind friend has departed from earth. She leaves one brother and oqe sister besides her seven children to mourn their loss. Funeral services were conducted at the home of her daughter Mrs. John Parr, on North Ninth street last Friday morning by Rev. W. H. Shepherd of the U. B. church at Ossian. Interment at the Beery cemetery.

A mother tells how she saved her little daughter’s Life. lam a mother of eight childrent and had a great deal of experience with medicine. Last summer my little daughter had the dysentery in its worst form. We thought she would die. I tried everything I could think of, but nothing seemed to do her any good. I saw by an advertisement in our paper that Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was highly recommended and sent and got a bottle at once. It proved to be one of the very best medicines we ever had in the house. It saved my little daughter’s life. I am anxious for every mother to know what an excellent medicine it is. Had I known it at first it would have saved me a great deal of anxiety and mv little daughter much suffering.—Yours, truly, Mrs. Geo. F. Burdrik. Liberty, R. I. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. a

It is always best to wait for the evidence before passing judgment. When you hear reports detrimental to others don't be hasty in forming conclusions. Today it is somebody else, but tomorrow it may be you. Trouble comes to all of us and we should extend the same charity we expect from others. Gossip distorts and magnifies occurrences that have no foundation in fact and great injustice is often done innocent parties. The Kansas girls who are forming clubs which pledge the members never to marry a young man unless j he served with the famous “Twentieth Kansas," Funston's regiment, are | likely to place them in very embarras- ! sing position. Suppose, for instance, j asks the Chicago Inter Ocean, the j heroes on returning should decide to : marry girls only who had refused to ■ join such silly clubs! And the worst of it is this is by no meansan unlikely < supsosition. Throw a sensible man out of the window he'll fall on his feet and ask the nearest way to work. The more money you have to begin with the less you will have in the end. Money you earn is much brighter than any vou can get out of a dead man’s bags'. A scant breakfast in the morning of life whets the appetite for a feast later in the day. He who has tasted a sour apple will have more relish for a sweet one. Your present want may make prosperity all the sweeter. Discovered by a Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that 100. by a lady in this | country. “Disease fastened its clutches I upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly, and could not sleep. She finally discovered away to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night: and with two bottles, has been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz," Thus writes W. C. Hammick & Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial bottles free at Page Blackburn’s drug store. Reular size 50c and $1 00. Every bottle guaranteed.
