Gathered at Gowdysville. Gowdeysville, May Albert Griffin, of the Rehoboth section, had the misfortune lose a fine shoat last Thursday morning, supposedly too from cholera.

It weighed about pounds and was the only one he had. There was quite an excitement the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L.

Blackwood, of Wilkinsville, route 1, late last Friday evening, when it was discovered that George, their youngest son, was missing. They immediately called in the families of Messrs. Jas. Ivey and Leland Vaughn and after much tear-shedding and a diligent search of about an hour, George was found by Mr. Blackwood snugly covered up on one of the beds and sleeping soundly.

He having gotten sieepy some time during the afternoon, had crawled in the bed and none of the family knew anything about it. Messrs. D. Both Hughes and Jas. Mabry have ordered a wheat threshing outfit and will be prepared and pleased to do the work for all their friends who wish to patronize them.

We have been requested to announce that there will be an Odd Fellows sermon preached in the new Gowdeysville church on the first Sunday in June by Rev. Gamewell Young, and that all other Odd Fellow lodges are cordially invited to attend. Several speakers are expected to be on hand. Misses Mamie and Grace Foster attended religious services at Asbury Mr. and Mrs.

John Hughes spent from Friday until Sunday in Union with the former's sister, Mrs. Lillie O'Shields. Several of the Rehoboth people expect to "take in" Children's Day exercises at Goucher next Sunday. Dave Littlejohn, colored, whose sickness has been repeatedly mentioned in this correspondence, doesn't seem to improve any. He tried to walk with the aid of crutches few days ago but was too weak to stand up.

It is thought that his broken leg will yet have to be amputated. Mr. Furman Horn, of Trough, was in this section last Wednesday buying cows. Misses Eva and Mary Foster spent Saturday night with their cousins, Misses Nola and Estelle Harris, of Grindall. We will say to the friend who sent us a copy of "St.

Elmo" that we received the book 0. K. and think it is just fine. It points out so clearly the difference between right and wrong. Thank you, very much.

Mr. J. E. Foster is on the sick list today (Tuesday). Those who have a good stand of cotton are busily engaged thinning this week, while those who haven't are replanting.

T. Griffin has hoisted his farm bell to of his house SO it can be heard farther away. Edna. Sen. Tillman Votes Duty on Lumber.

Washington, May Tillman's vote on yesterday in favor of a duty on lumber in the face of the Denver platform's declaration for lumber, has occasioned considerable surprise. He had declared several times recently that he was in favor of free lumber and on the floor Monday he said he was going to vote for free lumber. Later the same day, however, he supported the duty along with sixteen other Democrats. Senator Smith who favored free lumber, was paired with Senator Warren who opposed it. Kills To Stop The Fiend.

The worst foe for 12 years of John Deye, of Gladwin, was a running ulcer. He paid doctors over $400 without benefit. Then Bucklen's Arnica Salve killed the ulcer and cured him. Cures Fever-Sores, Boils, Felons, Eczema, Salt Rheum. Infallible for Piles, Burns, Scalds, Cuts, Corns.
