entertainment to take place during the
holidays,and a committee of prominent
ladies are now making overtures to
gifted young ladies in order to secure
their aid and talent in this worthy

President of the association, is very
much interested in the movement, and
he and the committee of ladies are es¬
pecially anxious that the youug ladies
called upon shall accede to their wishes
and give their practical aid in this
matter. There is no objection to the
young people having a social and ele¬
gant affair, and we hope they will all
respond.

The Best Heading.
Every family that desires to provide
for its young people wholesome and in¬
structive reading matter should send
for specimen copies of tlie Youtli’s
Companion, of Boston. It is the bright"
est and best of papers for young peo¬
ple. Its columns give more than two
hundred stories yearly by the most no¬
ted authors, including J.T.Trowbridge,
William Black, Harriet Beecher St woe,
Thomas Hardy, Mrs. Olipliant and ma¬
ny others, besides scientific articles by
eminent specialists, tales of adventure
by noted travellers, papers of encour¬
agement and adrice by men and wom¬
en of ability and experience, and rem¬
iniscences and anecdotes of famous
people. With a circulation rapidly ap
preaching 350,000 copies a week, tile
Y 0 utM’s Companion, can well afford to
spread such a feast before its patrons ;
and spreading such a feast, it is no
wonder it lias such a tremendous circu
latiou.

“WIPED OUT.”
The Story of an Atlanta Boy as
, told by His Father.
TRUTH IN A NUTSHELL.
Mr. Frank Joseph, lives at 243 Jones
street, Atlanta, and has a promising boy
of six summers. When the boy was about
three years of age a peculiar swelling was
discovered on Ins neck. Carious liniments,
poultices, ceptible effect. etc. were The applied swellings without increased, a per¬
although internal and external remedies
were used continually. Becoming alarmed,
a physician was called in who at once pro¬
nounced it a genuine case of well develop¬
ed scrofula. He used all the various rem¬
edies usually resorted to by the medical
profession became in such diseases,but other glands
ed affected, and finallv they arid discharg¬
large quantities presented of matter, slough¬
ing of the parts a ghastly siglit.
The hoy became quite feeble and greatly
emaciated, and uni hie, ■‘to walk, lluring
a period of over two years his condition be¬
came head, more perilous—the hair fell from his
and he rapidly lost his eyesight.
During and all this time he was properly cared
for treated, and was also treated at
New Medical college for three months, yet
his condition steadily grew worse.
Now comes the almost miraculous escape
of this lad. Ilis eyesight was restored.thc
hair stopped falling off, the glandular
swelling subsided, tlie horrible ulcerated
surfaces novated healed, the whole system was re¬
and mired -sound and well, all by
the use of only one single bottie of Ii.ll.HA
Boranic Blood Balm—which can he had at
81.00 per bottle. Sold in Crawfordville by
