The Georgia & Alabama railway is making arrangements for a special service to accommodate all confeder¬ ate veterans who desire to be present at the seventh annual reffhion of the united confederates at Nashville, June 22-24.

Her Courage Severely Tried. Mrs. Samuel Stumn, of Loganton, Pa., bore her thirty-four years of suf¬ fering with courage and fortitude. Her trouble was rheumatism in the knee. In consequense, her limb had become so stiff that she could hardly walk. Mr. Stamn is a well-to-do mer¬ chant, and had spared no pains or ex¬ pense to relieve her, but with little suc¬ cess. until one night when it grew so painful that she could hardly endure it; he persuaded her to try Chamberlain’s Pain Balm; the effect was magical. The first application relieved the pain, and its continued use has remov¬ ed all stiffness and given her the free use of her limb once more. For sale by J. II.

It can be CURED I want to say a good word for Dr. Ilobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills for the benefit of those who have been in pain and misery for years as I have been. My trouble was a constant, pain in the back, aggravated by kidney troubles, and no medicines 1 bought and none of the prescribed by physicians seemed to afford n.e any relief. I used Dr. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills, and am happy to say that these pills have given me the relief 1 have so long prayed for. Those fearful backach pains have gone, my kidneys are again strong and well, and I now consider myself completely and permanently cured. These pills I believe to be the greatest remedy for kidney diseases and backache that lias ever been dis¬ covered, and I think the asparagus in them must have something to do with their strong curative properties.
