About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on my cheek, and the doctors pro
nounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma
nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine tney applied
was like fire to tlw sore, causing intense i>ain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what
tv S. S. had (lone Tor others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before f had used
the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing np. My general
health had been Dad for two or three years—l baa a backing cougn and spit blood contin
ually. I bed a severe j-ain in my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left
me and I grew stouter ban I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all but
a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. I would advise
every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial.

A great many people of this section
are personally acquainted with Rev.
Joshua Knowles, of Greensboro, he hav
ing done considerable ministerial labor
here. His death, which occurred Friday
last, will be a shock to many. The
death was the result not of specific dis
ease but a wearing out of the machinery
of life. Joshua Knowles was born in
East Hampton, Mass., August 11, 1811.
His life was prolonged beyond the al
lotted period. He was a minister fifty
three years. He served the church here
fifteen years with great acceptability to
the people, proaching with deeper earn
estness as he neared the end of his
journey. He was the nestor of the
Georgia press, an editor fifty years. He
did editorial work in Milledgevilie, Ma

Reminiscences of an Out’aw Once Famous
iu Tennessee ami on tlie Ohio River.
Nashville World]
Ou the 11th inst. we left Huntington
Tenn.,for the south western portion of this
conunty for a few days’ bird and squirrel
hunt. While following a rocky branch,
known as the Gin branch, wo came to
where it skirted the margin of a high hill.
Our setter Charley made a dash at a rab
bit, and both rabbit and Charley disap
peared in the hill. The entrance was
what we supposed to be a crevice in the
rocks; in a moment the bats came pouring j
out by the hundreds. The weather being
chilly they fell to the ground in a stupor
as soon as the air struck them. Their
slumbers had been disturbed by the dog.
We were enjoying the fun when, to our
astonishment several large horn owls
came flopping out—one gave a dismal
hoot as though he had not seen daylight
for years, or wished to frighten us away.
Becoming uneasy for fear our dog could
not return, Mr. Lee went to the entrance
of the cave. Taking a pole and probing
some six feat, he found it made an abrupt
angle to the right; the opening was barely
sufficient for a common sized man to en
ter; be groped his way until it became so
dark that he returned and said that it
opened out into what he believed to be a
large hall, and that he could hear Charley
running around and whining, as thougli
he was lost and could not find his way
out. We sent to a neighboring house and
procured a lantern, aud determined to
rescue Charley at all hazards. With lan
tern in hand we both entered, compelled to
crawl on hands and knees for some distance
before we could walk erect; the entrance
turned tint to the right, then to the left, in
a zigzag form. Finally we met Charley,
and his bark, as it echoed and reechoed,
astonished us to such an extent that we
raised our lantern over our liCads, which
threw a bright light around.
We were in a large room, ceiled on all
sides and overhead with rude clapboards.
Before us sat a large table with a mutil
ated pack of cards in the centre; heavy j
wooden chairs around the table; a couple
of large and rough shop-made Knives on
one corner. As soon as we could collect
our senses and calm our staggered brain,
we found we were in a secret cave that
had once been occupied by a band of out
laws, but who, or when, was the question.
In surveying the room, which was 18x18,
we found in one corner a black something.
Hold the light close, our blood was chilled.
It was a large black mr.n.his skin and
flesh as dry as those who, in ancient and tys,
were given passage over Sharon. A large
and rough-made chain was locked around
his ankle and fastened to a staple in the
floor. In the opposite corner lay the dried
frames of two huge b'oodliounds; in an
old heavy wooden box was found two
old-fashioned hors a pistols with flint
locks; they had evidently done service in
the Revolution; there were also several
pairs of handcuffs. We began to think
we were in the region of the damned.
When looking on the rough walls there
we saw* “the handwriting.” It tvas “John
Af Murrell, 1828.” We were in that great
outlaw’s den; we could then see that the
man chained had been stolen by the old
bandit —brought there aud chained until
they could run him south and sell him.
The presumption is that when the cave
was deserted he was alive; the doom was
sure, but what agony he underwent—
chained and alone—his face, like Milton’s
devil, “grinned horribly a ghastly smile.
The bloodhounds had been kept for the
purpose of recapturing any slave that
might escape. As we were about making
our exit our companion Lee called our
attention to another object. We turned
around and he was pale and the lantern
trembling in his hand; he pointed under
the table, and there lay the form and
dried frame of another human being. Ex
amining close it proved to be that of a
female. She, too, was chained. She had
died a horrible death —starved to death.
Her long, yellow hair still clung to the dry
skin ou her head, her lips were parted so
as to disclose a set of pearly teeth. How
came she in a robber’s den? She could
not have been a victim of Cupid’s dart.
If so, why chain her? She had been kid
napped and held for ransom.
John A. Murrell was born in Morgan
county, Tenn. When a boy lie was con
sidered a spry and promising lad. After
a few love scrapes he became reckless,
and wandered out into the mountains of
North Carolina and Tennessee, preaching,
horse stealing, bagging negroes, throat
cutting, and blacksmithing. He seived a
long time in the penitentiary and preached
to the convicts. John’s voice could al
ways be heard in prayer at a big camp
meeting, and the deacons and elders often
liSid to walk home. The little house in
which he died is still standing in Pike
ville, Bledsoe county, Tenn. On his
deathbed he wanted to make a deadout
confession,but was gagged and comforted
by friends, who exclaimed : “Great God,
John,don’t give us all away.”
POLYGAMY DOOMED.
The impression is growing in Utah that
the Edmunds-Tucker law will accomplish
the purpose for which it is intended. It
may have to be amended in some particu
lars, but if congress is satisfied that, if'
properly administered, it will put an end
to polygamy, there will be no difficulty:
in securing whatever amendments may
be deemed necessary.
The Mormon leaders are, of course, in
an ugly temper. Until the Edmunds-
Tucker bill became a law they hoped to
defeat it. They fought it at every step of
its progress, and tried to have the Presi
dent to veto it. The President, however,
isn’t vetoing bills of that kind, and the
arguments of the Mormon agents against
the bill did not influence him in the least.
Troublous times may be looked for iu
Utah. The Mormons declare that they
will resist the enforementof the new law,
and it would not be surprising if there
were conflicts between them and the
Federal authorities. The leaders, how
ever, wi'l soon be forced to recognize that
the power of the government is too great
to be successfully resisted, and that they
will have to abandon polygamy or seek a
country where it can be practiced with
out any interference from the constituted
authorities.
The fight againt polygamy has been
going on for a long time, and the people
of the whole country, with the exception
of the Mormons, will rejoice if the Ed
munds Tucker law is found to be a gen
uine remedy for the evil. The govern
ment ought to have dealt with it more
vigorously years ago, before the Mormons
became so strong. It is not too late now,
however, to put an end to an institution
that is repugnant to right-thinking peo
ple the world over. —Savannah News.
Not His Mother.
From the Detroit Tribune.]
Washington society has been grinning
oyer the blunder of one of its number—-a
woman not unaccustomed to blundering,
however. She made a call on the newly
made wife of the Secretary of the Interior.
The servant ushered her into a salon,
where a stately person in sombre raiment
and of austere mien received her. After
the usual exchange of social amenities the
visitor glanced around expectantly, as if
looking for some one, then turning to the
hostess, she said :
“I presume you are Mr. Lamar’s mother,
and I would like to see the bride.”
“Madame,” replied the stately dame, “I
am Mr. Lamar’s wife.”
CHILDREN AT THE ALTAR
Two Youthful Couples Married by a
Thoughtless Minister,
A from Buffalo, N. Y., to the
Boston Herald, says: Judge King, of the
Po ice Court, was astounded to-day when
a pretty litt'e girl, between 13 and 14
years of age, with her skirts above her
knees, and her hair hanging, schoolgirl
fashion, down her back, requested that
he grant her a warrant for the arrest of
her husband for non-support. The ex
perienced judge locked at the child and
thought that she was crazy But she wi s
so persistent that the paper was issued.
She said her husband’s name was Herbert
W. Stone, that her name ivas formerly
Grace Kendall, and that she had been
secretly married in January.
When the warrant was placed in the
hands of an officer it was not long before
the boy, who is 16 years old, was found
and brought into court. The whole thing
then came out. It seems that the two
named, together with Charles Bales, aged
16, anu Mary Vaughn, aged 15, met in
January at a dancing party. They were
acquaited slightly before, but on this
particular evening seemed to have become
completely enamored of one anoth r.
They talked the matter over and agreed
to proceed to the residence of Rev.
Charles xi. Smith, 208 East Eagle
street, where they were quietly
married. Miss Kendall has been living
with her uncie, C. E. Kendall, the head
of the Kendall Manufacturing Company,
who is her guardian, and who, when he
heard how matters stood, tried to make
the best of it and have the two children
live together. Young Stone is willing to
do this, but his mother, who is a rich wo
man living at Tonawanda, will not agree,
and wants to have the marriage broken
otf. She was so stubborn to day that
she allowed the boy to go to jail, emphat
ically refusing to provide bonds.
The other two are not living together
either, young Eales, of course, being to
tally unable to support his child wife.
Mr. Kendall, however, offered to provide
for Mr. and Mrs. Stone, but the mother
in-law wouldn’t have it that way, Eales
and litis wife come from poor, but respect
able parentage. Much blame is laid-upon
the clergyman who allowed these four
children to contract marriage. Mr.
Smith is pastor of St. James’ Episcopal
church. It is probable that the respective
families will endeavor to haye the mar
riages annulled.
THE LAST OF THE BUFFALOES.
Sp?cial to Globe Democrat irom Abilene, Tex]
A wagon was in town a few days ago,
from which the proprietor was retailing
fresh buffalo meat. It is probably the last
wagon with such goods that will eyer be
seen on the streets of Abilene. There
have been a few lonesone buffaloes for
some years past in the unfrequented wilds
of Crockett county. From these wilds
they never emerged, seeming to under
stand that they were hemmed in on all
sides by a merciless cordon of fire.
Therefore their migatory instincts was
forgotten, or at least they never attempt
ed to follow it.
It seemed to be a common consent of all
who occasionally visited the region to
respect these last remnants of a great
race and never to harm them. Even the
wildest cowboys yielded to this good
feeling. But a change has come. The
drowth and the hard necessities that
have come by it have driven all the sen
timent out of the bosoms of some of the
people. They went for the poor lone
some buffaloes as a means of earning a
little money, and the wagon mentioned
above was one of the results. ■’Doubtless
there were other wagons in the same
business about the same time on the
streets of Sin Angelo and Bdiinger. It si
not known whether all the buffaloes
were killed, but it is most likely that not
one escaped. Thus ends the last of the
great race in Texas, except about a dozen
bead domesticated by Charles Goodnight
on his Falodura ranch, in the Panhandle,
and probably two or three domesticated
by Hon. John Hancock on his farm near
Austin. The buffalo was the Indian’s
friend and preserver. How long will it
be before the last Indian follows the foot
steps of the last buffalo in the hereafter?
THE WIFE’S SHAKE.
No class of men are more iu debt
to their wives for the success that
comes to them than are farmers. The
wife and the mother who has the cour
age to go out with the husband of her
choice and commence the struggle of
life with him on the prarie, or ou anew
farm, with but little capital, except
boundless capital of heart, is worthy to
stand by the side of the Spartan woman
of whom poets exhausted their words
of praise. Upon her fulls the brunt of
the strife, no matter how hard the hus
band may toil; liis work closes with the
day, but here continues long after; and
with her children and the small-chores
that many of the beginners look after,
her lot is not one to be envied. Aud
when, after years of struggle, success,
with reluctant feet, comes to crown
the husband with honor the bright
est wreath should adorn the
brow of the noble wife w’ho was the stay
and anchor, the comfort and source of all
hope in the stormy day of trial. The
wealth should crown her queen. We
hear that so-and-so is making money, and
gets the credit of being a forehanded man,
but it is quite as often that the noble little
woman, who has toiled and complained
not, is the one to whom the state and
nation are most greatly indebted These
are the women that lead men up to that
higher and nobler manhood, to that shrine
where, like knights of old, they bend the
knee of homage, not to beauty, hut to
worthy and royal womanhood.
Carter H. Harkii#>n, the Mayor of
Chicago, takes a gloomy view of the
future of that city. To an interviewer
he thus recently expressed himself: “I
am 62 years old. A life of quiet for a
fiw years may give me a happy aud
vigorous old age. A terrible strain du
ring the next two years may make me
a decrepit valetudinarian. My fear is
that we will have some terrible trouble
in this city iu the next two years if the
Supreme Court gives the anarchists a
ew trial. Judge Garry has told me
they could never have another trial;
they could not get a jury. The men
would give out that they were vindi
cated, and on the other hand, if they
were hung, we may stave conclusions.
I have been successful iu being auie to
quell all disturbances with the police.
The future may develop something
different. If I should be elected mayor
again I should feel that I would not dare
to be away from Chicago where a half
day’s ride could not bring me home.”

Commerce Bill does not interfere with
any railroad issuing a pass to any point
within the State in which the railroad is
doing business. It does attempt to inter

to another. As to what will be done
about long-distance passes I have not
yet determined, but clearly I can issue
passes over the Western and Atlantic

any evasion of the Inter-state Bill. I
doubt if I can issue a pass from Atlanta to

A GOOD TRADER.
Beginning with a Team of Horses and
Ending with $:500,000
From t lie St. Paul Globe.]
In 1863 William Pitt Kellogg was in
the active service of the army, but he
still held on to his position a3 Supreme
Court Justice of the Territory of Nebras
ka. He went homo in that year to hold
court for a short time. Ou his way to
Nebraska he stopped in Illinois at a
place where he had a pair of horses.
He was sick, and he thought he would
take his team and drive to Nebraska,
thinking that this method of traveling
would do him good. He arrived iu Oma
ha with the team, and while he was
holding court there Ben Chapman, an
old bachelor of the town, was constantly
borrowing the team to take some of his
lady friends out to ride. Mr. Kellogg
did not know what to do with the team
after he had finished his court work,
and had made arrangements to board
them. But Chapmau came to him oue
day aud offered to trade him some laud
for the team They drove out to the
land through a rough couutry aud over
a marshy piece of ground until they
reached the sixteen-acre tract owned by
Chapman. They made the trade while
they were there.
Mr. Kellogg then took ten acres of the
tract at SSO an acre, the team, harness,
wagon and blankets and whip being
counted in at SSOO. In a few months
after he purchased the other six acres at
SSO par acre. This was in 1863. He has
held on to a part of the land with great
persistence since that time, partly only,
as under pressure from his agent at
Omaha, with occasional sales of small
portions. His holding last year was re
duced to a little over three acres. He
sold seven eights of an acre out of this
tract for $38,000. He took that $38,000
invested it in a piece of property in
the northwest of Washington, known as
the Widow s Mite property. He paid
$2,000 more, making $40,0(K) as the pur
chase price. He was offered a few days
ago SIOO,OOO in cash for this Washington
purchase. He can sell out the balance
of his real estate tract iu Omaha an any
time for $200,000. So the team stands
him in to-day a clean profit of over
$300,000.

The Savannah News says that the truck
growers around Savannah were busy re
planting their crops after the hard freeze
last week. The damage has not been at
all over estimated, and will foot up high
in the thousands. Charleston estimates
that the loss to South Carolina truck
growers will not be less than SIOO,OOO.
Savannah truckers regard that as a high
estimate. The News thinks the loss there
will be considerably less. The greatest
loss was on the farms south of the city
and back from the river. The farms west
of the city partly escaped. The pea crop,
which was just about ready to ship wfien
the freeze came, wiil not turn out over
half a crop. Shipments are being made,
but it not expected that they will yield
large returns.
