ers from Catarrh want, however, is a cure,
and not merely a brief i-espite from the rav¬
ages of this health-sapper.

An Old Trapper of the Sixties.
Dalton, Ga., Feb. 4.—Mr. Ben
Freeman, an old Spring Place
man, has just returned after to his
work in Dalton a two
weeks’ outing. He is the proud
owner of an immense bear skin,
which is the fruit of a two days’
hunt in the wilds of the Coluitta
mountains. He hopes to have it
stuffed by the 15th, and extends
a cordial invitation to his old
friends to call and see it.
Ben looks as young as ever,
notwithstanding the fact that his
chin whiskers add a little more
time to him.
A full description of the hunt
will be given anyone who can
give Ben a day of his time.
