0 ®ht Icrald and gircrtiscr. Newiian, Ga., Friday, June 29, 1888. HARRY GORDON. The Gallant Act of a Sailor. Brave Y oung place to see all the fun going, and many a look of admiration was cast at the pretty girl in the chip hat, whose ro mantic connection with the race had increased the spectators’ interest in it a hundred fold And of its grandpa. And its grandpa escaped to the smoking car. The baby’s papa then seized the baby, declaring his intention of throwing it off the back platform and upon the adja- l’hlladelphia Times. 1 was spending the summer of 1SS- in the village of Waterford on one of the arms of the Sound, putting in my time fishing and sailing, trying to build up a particularly bad visitation of typhoid fever. The town—there is no use looking on the map; I have not called it by its right name—was in a great measure supported by boarders in the summer season, while the rest of the year it was, so to speak, turned out to grass and had to dig its provender from the sad sea waves or in any other man ner possible. One morning, on our way back from the post-office, I strayed out of my usual course, and while idly lounging along, smoking my pipe, came to the graveyard. It was shady and green, so I conclud ed to pass through and avoid the sun. While walking along the principal path a peculiarly shaped headstone attracted my attention. It bore the inscription, “Henry Gordon, aged 18, died July 4, 188-,”'followed by a two-line epitaph. Ordinary enough, you will say. Yes, but the epitaph was so unusual that, coupled with the date, July 4, it made me curious to know why it was applied to the young man, or rather what had been the history of the young man. Accordingly I hunted up Old Joe, the boatman with whom I generally went fishing. I found him doing some trifling repair work on his little cat-boat. “I say, Joe, is there wind enough for a sail?” “Mornin’, sir. Why, yes, if we don’t go too far; the wind’s to the west’ard, you see, and will go down before the sun, most likely.” “Oh, I only want to go for a couple of hours. Suppose we sail up to New Hope and back.” “All right, sir, get aboard,” replied Joe, and in a few minutes the little boat was dashing along through the bright water with a fine beam wind and under whole sail. “Joe,” said I, “who was Ilenry Gor don, and what’s the meaning of the—?” “Did you never hear tell of Harry Gordon and how he died?” interrupted Joe. “No,” saidJ, “spin the yarn for me; I’m getting very curious to learn who the poor fellow was.” Accordingly, knocking the ashes.from his pipe, old Joe began. But it would be tiresome to repeat it word for word. I’ll retell the story in my own way. Of course, among the fast boats own ed in Waterford there was a champion, a queen of the fleet, as it were, and this boat was the Nettle, Harry Gordon owner. She was 20 feet long and rigged as a jib and mainsail; she was open and provided with seats for the accom modation of passengers, the carrying of sailing and fishing parties being the principal business in summer. Harry thought the world of his boat, and be ing extremely proud of her speed, was always ready for a race. Up at New Hope, too, they had a brag boat the same size of the Nettle, called the Fashion, and of course there was considerable rivalry between the respective owners and their friends. The boats had had numerous scrub races, but as neither could claim any decided advantage in the result the question as to which was the fastest remained in doubt. Finally, from having so much talk on the subject the summer visitors at each place—for New Hope, too, sported a hotel and several boarding houses— got to taking sides with their respective boats and a grand race was decided on as the only way to settle the matter. There wtis still another matter between the two young captains, for neither of them was over eighteen years of age. Both had set their affections upon the same young girl, as boys will do, pretty Jessie Gray; but she, coy lass, was un able to decide which she liked best, though each boy thought that if he was the lucky winner of the race he would probably also win a prize worthusailing fof. Old Farmer Gray himself said there was little to choose between Jack Nor ton (of the Fashion) and Harry, but kept telling Jessie to “be sweethearts” with one of the boys and put them both out of doubt. As she, however, could not, or would not, make up her mind, he declared that whoever brought his boat over the line first in the great race should have his daughter when old enough; for the old man had been a sailor himself and was still no mean hand at the tiller. The long-expected day at length ar rived, bringing with it a bright sun and #u brisk southwest breeze, making it a dead beat out to the bupy, which was placed eight miles away, so as to “give ’em plenty of chance to sail,” as one of t he race committee said. This made a course of sixteen miles to be sailed, half of which was to wind ward and the finishing half before the wind. Eleven o’clock was the hour set lor the start, but long before that time spectators began to arrive in every sort of conveyance, while schooners, sloops and cat-boats were all filled with holi day excursionists, dressed in all man ner of costumes, from the swell with hi< little plug hat to the barefooted seaside urchin. Old Mr. Gray and Jes sie, you may be sure, were in a good The baby’s mamma evidently placed no confidence in the threat of the for be- ■ baby’s papa. She leaned back with a sigh of relief and ate a banana. But there was a desperate, danger ous light in papa’s eyes, as he picked his way between the jerks of the car. He was gone about five minutes. He returned alone, The desperate light was gone from his eyes and he looked sheepish. As soon as the baby’s mamma saw him she detected the baby’s absence. She detected the guilty look he' brought back with him. And she remembered his threat. He had said ae would hurl his off spring from the rear platform. She sprang “Where is Mamma’s face blanched, up excitedly. “The baby!” sie' gasped the baby?” “I-I—” began :he papa again. He certainly looked guilty. The passengers gathered around to prevent the escape of tie monster—the man who threw his lrst-born from a rapid ly moving railway car. “Oh, John Hlnry,” shrieked the poor mother, “wlere is my baby?” This time she vaited for a reply, and he confessed. “I left it with alady in the backseat who said she could quiet it.” Silence reigned for three minutes, and nothing was ieard but the mock ing rails of the tnck. Then the baby b-oke loose again. And now all the preliminaries having cent landscape, and started for the been arranged the boats were ordered j rear of the car. to take position to leeward of the start ing line and there await the signal to | cross. It was a beautiful sight, sides the t wo contestants some twenty j other craft were dashing backward and j forward, or lying with their jib-sheets j hauled to windward, while the Aettle | and the Fashion were each trying for j the weather guage. Bang! It was the starting gun, and like race horses tiie boats dashed up to the starting line, the Fashion a couple of lengths ahead but hotly pursued by her rivaj, the crews of eacli boat lying flat on deck to windward, each with his pair of sand bags under his breast, and only the two captains erect, with their tillers in their grasp-and their eyes fix ed on the luffs of their sails. The ac companying fleet was soon left astern, but the occupants of the boats took it out in cheering their respective cham pions. There was little change in the posi tion of the racers until they neared the turning buoy, sometimes one having a slight advantage and sometimes the other, so nearly were they matched and so skillfully were they handled. Just here, however, the Nettle obtained a fresh puff of wind, and was enabled to round the mark a full half minute ahead of the rival. “Startmain sheet! Up centre board!” shouted Harry; “hook on your spinna ker and set it lively, lads; belay aft, all!” and the trim boat, under a press of canvass, dashed aside the water as though she knew her owner’s happiness depended on her heels. The Fashion had also come around and set her spin naker, but the Nettle had now a good start and “a stern chase is a long chase.” Meanwhile the excursion craft had gotten under way and was coming down to meet the racers. You may imagine that everybody was excited at the prospect of a close race, and as the boats came nearer it could not be told which was in the lead. Suddenly a shout from a Waterford man, who had a telescope, “Nettle’s ahead !” was followed by the whoops and cheers of her admirers. On they came like great white-wing ed birds, and iioav they were within two hundred yards of the line, when something occurred that turned a holi day scene into one of danger, death and mourning. A small sloop, whose excited passengers had crowded over to the lee side to have a better view of the race, suddenly capsized and more than twenty people, mostly women and children, were thrown into the water. The sloop chanced to be rather apart from the rest of the fleet, and Harry seeing that instant action was necessary in order to prevent loss of life, threw up his chances of winning and gave orders to take in the spinna ker. As the big sail came in his helm went down, and the Nettle, rounding into the wind, shot up alongside the upset boat. He and his crew worked nobly, and the struggling victims were saved. All! No, not quite, for one of the rescued women suddenly discover ed that the bundle in her arms contain ed not her baby, as she supposed, but only a cushion from the cabin wrapped in a shawl, and her child was still in the fast sinking sloop. “Oh! my baby! my baby!” screamed the poor mother. “"Will no one get my baby ? Is there no one here who can get my child?” “I will try,” cried Harry, springing into the water. The brave fellow div ed into the cabin, now nearly full of water, when, suddenly the air in the vessel escaped with a rush and the bal last carried her down like a stone. A WORD INpEASON.

I heard your remedy highly recommended, and pur chased a bottle from Moncrief A Bro., Pres cott, Ark. In about one month, after using this bottle he became so much better that I got the second bottle, which is now being us ed, and my son is nearly well, and I think by removing him to a cooler summer climate (which Twill do) and continuing its use, a perfect cure-will be effected. I consider B.B. B. a most excellent blood purifier. Chas. II. Titus, R. R. Agt. Bough ton, Ark. Send for our Book of Wonders, free to all. Address, BLOOD BALM COMPANY, Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Cleveland can well afford to be a little superstitious about the name Dan iel. Daniel Lockwood has heretofore placed him in nomination for every of fice he has held. Daniel Manning managed his campaign, and was a strong member of a strong cabinet. Daniel Lamont is liis invaluable pri vate secretary. Now Daniel Dougherty has renominated him. The word Dan iel signifies “judgment of God,” and very appropriate it is. “The quick resuscitation of the South,” says the New York Herald, “is the economic wonder oi the age. In a single generation it has done the work of a century. Instead of moping and sulking over its fallen fortunes, it gath ered together the remnants of its for mer prosperity, explored fresh fields of commercial enterprise, and threw into the new regime the same earnestness with which it defended the old.” A young man must stick himself to business with the glue of industry. A man of integrity will never listen to any reason against conscience. When the vessel was raised the baby was found in Harry’s arms, its little hands clasped around his neck, and its golden hair mingling with the darker locks of the young sailor. Hearing this story I could under stand why they had inscribed on his tombstone the epitaph that had at tracted my attention: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lays down his life for his friend.” An Awful Tragedy. Pittsburg Chronicle. There was a baby on board the train yesterday from Pittsburg’to Wheeling. It was a baby with a big B. The baby had its mother along. And its papa. Likewise its grandfather. And it needed a few hundred more relatives. The baby was very good for nine miles and a half. Its papa was proud of it. He gazed complacently around the car as though he would say: “That’s my baby! Don’t you all envy me ?”. Its mamma shared its papa’s pride. And its grandpa absorbed what was left. Presently the baby improvised a cir cus. It howled. Then it yelled. Then it howled and yelled more. And refused to be comforted. The look of pride left the face of the baby’s father.

Down Two Years With Rheumatism and Mow Entirely Well. I ha% r e been troubled %vith rheumatism for two years; bad gotten so I could scarcely walk, and was in pai n nearly all the time. At ni<dit could not sleep for the excruciating pain. The bone in one of my legs was very much enlarged, and I feared that amputation would be necessary. After trying many dn- ferent patent medicines claiming to cure rheumatism and other complaints, I was al most. discouraged until about two weeks ago, when I had to give up business, Mr. W. J. Willingham, of your city, hearing of my com- uJviwti ii.cuscuij-oui lueuicme, and assured me of his confidence in it as a cure for rheumatism. I at once purchased a bot tle. hoping it might relieve me, but not having much faith in it, or in anything else; but, thank God, I am very muen relieved, and I firmly believe I will get entirely well. The swelling has gone down and I am in no pain whatever. Am at work again, and have been for several days. Can run up and down the stairwav in factory as nimbly as ever. I thank you for this- earthly salvation to me. I write without your solicitation, or any knowledge of you, except through your med icine.

The doctors said the only remedy left was amputation. That we all were op posed to.

I purchased one-Jialf dozen bot tles, and, to my utter surprise, after using ttiree or rour Dottles, my girl’s leg was entire ly well. I also had a very ugly running sore on the calf ol my leg and one bottle cured it, after trying all other remedies. I wish you much success, and I do hope that all suffering humanity may hear and believe in the only true blood purifier.

I have been a practical druggist in Tyler for a number of years, and in that time have had occasion to examine, tty, and notice the effect of nearly all the highly recommended prepar- , ationsor patent medicines on the market, as I hsve suffered untold misery myself, the past number of years, from a severe form ot in flammatory rheumatism, and could find nothing to cure or relieve me. I had almost drawn a conclusion that all patent medicines were more or less frauds until about one year ago, I was induced by a friend now living in Tyler to try a preparation known as 3 B., or botanic Blood Balm, and after a long per suasion on his part, I finally made up my mind to make one more effort to rid myself of the terrible affliction; and now it affords me the greatest pleasure of my liie to state to the citizens of Smith county that I am entire- ly cared, with no traces of the disease left, and all effected by the magic healing proper ties of B. B. B.. which I consider the grand- est, purest, and most powerful blood remedy known to man. I have been subject to in flammatory attacks since ten years of age, and up to the present time have hstd four. The last spell came on me in November, ISso, over a year ago, at which ime I was confined to my bed for eight weeks, passing the nights in misery, with no sleep except wlien produc ed by narcotics and various opiates. The week previous to using B. B. B. up to that time I had only eaten six meals and could scarcely sit up without support; but after us ing three bottles I was able to relish my meals and to -walk up town, and after six bot tles had been used, thank heaven, I was en tirely cured, and not the slightest pain felt since that time. When I returned to business in February my weight %vas 115 pounds, but Gradually, increased until my regular weight was again aitained, 210 pounds. The noticea ble fact in %vhat I have so cheerfully stated is, that this unparalleled and remarkable dis covery B. B. B. cured me in mid-winter, at the very time my sufferings and misery were the greatest. I take it on myself as a practi cal druggist to heartily, cheerfully, as well as conscientiously, recommend this glorious blood remedy to all suflerers from rheuma tism or blood troubles, and not only myse’f, but the firm of McKay & Adams, who handle it will cheerlully indorse its superior merits.

A lady friend of mine nas for several years been troubled with bumps and pimples on her face and neck, for which she used various cosmetics in order to remove theffi and beau tify and improve her complexion; but these local applications were only temporary and left her skin in a worse condition. I recommended an internal application— known as Botanic Blood Balm—which I have been using and selling about two years; she used three bottles and nearly all pimples have disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth and her general health much improved. She expresses herself as well satisfied and can recommend it to all who are thus affected. Mrs. S. M. Wilson. TESTIMONIAL OF HON. THOS. PAULK, OF BERRIEN COUNTY.

Company, Atlanta, Ga.—Gentlemen : I had > suffered from that terrible disease, dyspepsia for over fifteen years, and during that time tried everything I could hear of, and spent over three hundred dollars in doctor’s bills, without receiving the slightest benefit, Indeed, I continued to grow worse. Finally, after I despaired of obtaining relief, a friend recommended; B. B. B., (Botanic Blood Balm) and I began using it; not, however, expecting to be benefited. After using half a Bottle I was satisfied I was being benefited, and when tbe sixth bottle was used I felt like a new man. I would not take $1,000 for the good it has done me; in fact, the relief that I derived from it is priceless. I firmly believe I would have died had I not taken it. Respectfully, THOMAS PAULK.
