No young man who ever left Albany
to seek his fortunes elsewhere carried
away the best wishes of a larger circle
of friends than did Mr. Jus. M. Gran
tham when lie went to Ocala, Fla.,
some three months ago to accept the
position of pharmacist with the Antl-
Monopoly Drug Company in that oity.'
It will be a pleasure for his friends
in Albany to know that Jim is.doing
well, as the following notice, clipped
from the Ocala Banner of the 25th ult.,
will show. Speaking of a branch store
to be opened soon, the Banner says:
Mr. J. M. Grantham will be found at
the head of the drugdepartinent of the
branch store. A man thoroughly qual
ified for this position; a registered
pharmacist under the law of Georgia:
also, under tlie law of Florida; a mem

as prescriptionist for six years, all
prescriptions entrusted to him will be

Joe Campbell, a young mulatto, who
was sent to the penitentiary for a term
of three years for.kiliinganother well-
known young Negro by the name of
Josiah Hickson, is again walking the
streets of Albany a free man, having
served out his sentence at the Dade
coal mines.
He is a son ot the once notorious
Georgia Ann Flagg, and a brother or
half brother of Bob Weeks, a respecta

A Slmplo Remedy for Nonublocil.
Speaking of tho efficiency of simple
remedies, n woman tells of ono benef
icently applied in the course of the
Columbian celobration: ‘‘It was that
memorahlo Wednesday anil we were
seated in-a crowded Btahd, when my
little girl, aged nine, cried out to me
that her nose was bleeding. I gave
her on extra handkerchief and hoped
it was a brief attack, but the hemor
rhage did not stop. We exhausted
our supply of handkerchiefs, put a
key down her back and tried several
other available methods—to no pur-
poso. Gladys was miserable and I
was not much happier. Exit was
impossible and things were growing
critical, when a man several seats
below us ritood up and, using his hand
as a trumpet, shouted:
“ ‘Raise her right arm for. a few
minutes, -
“Gladys heard and quickly obeyed.
The effect was magical. In less than
a minute the bleeding showed signs
of cessation and before five minutes
was over entirely. I could only nod
my gratitude to pur unknown bene
factor,’ for on that memorable day
separation by a few feet meant often
an impassable barrier."—New York
