K Little Girl’s Escape.
i A PALE, THIN GIRL BECOMES
ROSY AND PLUMP.
St. Vitus’ nance Cheeked—A Loving
lliiughtrr Saved.
(Mwn the Kanrnt City, Mo., Journal.)
The following pomm-t an interest to the
Jourwil an<! its readers, because the case
is of great talue from a medical point of view,
and further because it is sworn to and its
truth absolutely proven. The case described
is that of the (laughter of L. L. Harbor of
Kdgerton, Kan., who being duly sworn on
oath tieposen and says:
During the spring of the current year,
1893, my daughter Bertie, aged 13 years, bo*
came afflicted with a nervous disease which
grew upon her to such an extent, that it se
riously interfered with her studies, and
aroused the gravest fears that it would de
velop into St. Vitus’ dunce. My daughter
became so nervous that she would drop her
knife and fork while eating, and would at
times be seized with nervous twitchings
which excited the alarm of myself and wife.
About this time my wife read in a news
paper of a wonderful cure of the same disease
effected by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale
People. So strongly was I impressed with
the facts set forth in the testimonial that I
wrote to ascertain the authenticity of the case.
Receiving a reply which completely satisfied
I gent for a box of the pills.
I'rom th i very first dose a marked im»
provement in my daughter's condition was
noticed. She had become thin and exces
sively pale, as is common to sufferers from
nervous diseases, and her weight had de
rr,.1 c < i u " H Lirming extent. After a
carituLaml thorough trial of the pills,she not
only began f'i grow less nervous but also be
gan to gain flesh.
It is needless to t'ty that I was both sur
prised and delighted’ with the wonderful
change brought about by the first box of the
pills. She is a new girl, and all the symp
toms of hi r disease have disappeared. Dr.
William’’ Pink Pills have certainly wrought
a wonderful an 1 complete cure, and 1 can
say nothing too good in their favor. But
now she is away on a visit, something she
would not have thought of being able to do
three months ago. I'rom being shrinking,
morbid and timid she has become a strong,
healthy girl with no appearance of ever
having been afflicted with any nervous trou
bles. The pills have done wonders, and I
take great pleasure in recommending them
to all who arc afflicted with a similar
disease. (Signed) L. L. BAItBOR.
Subscribed and sworn to before me thia
14th day of August, 1S!)3.

Mrs. Barbor, who was present, declared
•bn* they owed their daughter’s life to Pink
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People

new life and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They may be had of all

SI,OOO A SHOT.
It Is Econimical, After All, if
Considered Properly.
One thousand dollars a shot is
rather expensive shooting, but
wh'n you come to figure it out
j you will find that it is u< t quite
as much in proportion as SIOO a
shot under certain conditions. The
old smooth bore cannon, short in
barrel and short in the breach, had
I to be trained with the greatest pa
| tience and care on the object aimed
! at, and if the 100 pound ball didn’t
land exactly where it was intended
it did very little harm.
\\ itli the big pneumatic gun at
Sandy Hook it is impossible to
make a miss. You just touch her
off at SI,OOC per touch, and if the
projectile drops svithin one-sixth
of a mile of where it was intended
to drop there is immediate and se
■’ious trouble and in all probability
no necessity for the expenditure of
another dollar'on that particular
targe'. It costs more to fire the
big Krupp gun than it does our dy
nanito gun, but the execution
bears no comparison. Ono hun
dred galling guns, fired at short
intervals for one hour, would cost
sl/100. Even if the object shot at
was within range the shooting
would not beone-tenth as affective
as the shooting of the Sandy Hook
terror. —New York Mail and Ex
press.
During the winter of 1893, F. M,
Martin, of Long Reach, West Va.,
contracted a severe cold which
left him with a cough. In speak
ing of how he cured it*ho says: “I
used several kinds of cough syrup
but found no relief until I bought
a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy, which relieved mo almost
instantly, and in a short time
brought about a complete cure.”
When troubled with a cough or
cold use this remedy and you will
not find it necessary to try several
kinds before you get relief. It has
been in the market for over twenty
years and constantly grown in fa
vor and popularity. For sale at

Algol, the Mystery of the Skies.
Algol, “the variable star of the
constellation of Perseus,” is re
garded among astronomers as the
greatest mystery of the heavens.
Its light usually remains constant
and uniform for a period of from
-18 to 60 hours. It then com
mences to gradually fade from
view, and in less than four hours
diminishes toan insignificant point
of light. After remaining in a
state of semiobscuration for a pe
riod of time, varying from 15 to 30
minutes, it again regains its former
brilliancy. Astronomers believe
that some large dead and dark
world revolves between us and Al
gol, but this is the disputed point,
a mystery which will, in all prob
ability, never be satisfactorily ex
plained,—St. Louis Republic.
"I expect that before very long
the congregation will be in a place
where it will not require so much
effort to keep warm,” announced a
clergyman from the pulpit of a
church at Woodbury, Vt, on a
cold Sunday morning, when the
temperature was near zero. Where
i at there was a titter through the
congregation. What the good man
meant was that he trusted the new
■ church, now building, would soon
'be ready for occupancy by the
congregation .

EDEN MILLS BURNED.
f Disastrous Eire at Douglasville
Tuesday Night—The Mill Cost
5 $135,000 and Was Only
l Partly Insured.
i As the engineer of the Eden park
i cotton mills, at Douglassvile, was
i carrying out waste which had
> caught fire from a torch he had
i dropped upon it, the flames ignited
1 some lint and in a few minutes a
■ fire had started which was beyond
human control, resulting in the
total destruction of the mill Tues
day night.
The Eden park factory had just
been completed and was built at a
' cost of $135,000. It was a splendid
1 plant and inthe first few months
1 of its history had earned large div
idends.
The mill was only partially cov
ered by insurance. Policies for
$50,000 had been obtained and an
application for $25,000 more had
■ been filed. The mill owners will
hold the companies for $75,000,
which includes the smaller policy
applied for.

The Body of Mrs. William John
son, of Rome, Disinterred-
The body of Mrs. William John
son, who died in the year 1855,
was disinterred a few weeks ago at
Rome, and she looked as fresh and
natural as if her demise had-_ oc
curred only the day before.
At the time of her death, forty
one years ago, what was known as
the old cemetery, in the upper
part of Rome, was becoming very
much crowded, and the Sheibly
cemetery, the other side of the
North Rome depot, was in use.
It was here that she was first bu
ried in a metallic casket.
During the war the casket con
taining the body of Mrs. Johnson
was removed to the old cemetery
in the northern part of the city,
where it has remained ever since.
Mrs. Johnson left an infant son
at the time of her death, now Mr.
Hal Johnson, a popular citizen of
Calhoun. She was a sister of Mrs.
Spullock and Col. Mark Hardin,
clerk of the house of representa
tives, and an aunt of Recorder
Spullock, of Rome.
Her son went to Rome several
, weeks ago from Calhoun, and with
relatives there began trying to lo
cate the grave of his mother. He
did not succeed at first, and hands
wore put to work digging and soon
found the casket. It was in good
condition, and the lid was removed.
Then, looking through the glass
cover, they beheld a sight that
struck them with wonder. Every
feature was natural, and she seem
ed to have just fallen asleep.
There was no petrifaction or mum-1
unification, no shrinkage of flesh,
but she appeared natural as life.
Her son, who svas an infant
when she died, had no reccollec
tions as to her appearance, and as
ho gt’zed upon the face of his
mother no doubt he was profound
ly stirred.
The casket ivas reinterred and
the grave made over to bo kept in
the best condition.—Cartersville

The Catalan’s Shouldße Silent.
Those Catalans, 12,000 strong
who desire to fight the United
I States, ask only two favors. The
J Spanish government must give
■ them guns and see to it that they
are landed upon some part of the
territory of the United States- Wo
have tried to think upon what’part
of our territory it would be safest
for them to land. We have a long
coast line, both up m the Atlantic
and the Pacific, and there are plen
ty of good landing places between
Eastport and Seattle. There is
! Philadelphia, a quiet kind of place '
I when John Wanamaker is not in I
! his store. There is South Caro'ina,
' and we may remark that Tillman
'is going to Colarado. There is
i Texas, an inviting spt?t, not so un
healthy as Cuba in the wet season.
; Let the Catalans look over a map
of the United States. We can only
warn them not to land upon Coney
Island, and we think it would be
j unadvieable for them to land any
where near New York; for they
wou d surely be caught and put up
on exhibition among the other at*
tractions at Barnum & Bailey’s
great American and unparalleled
circus. Crowds of people svho do :
not care a cent for zebras, elephants, ’
or other quadrupeds, would rush
there to see the 12,000 Catalans.—

Flowing Corn the First Time.
Question. —Is it injurious to corn to
plow deep the first tiine ? I have not
been able to prepare my land as thor
oughly as I would like, and I want your
advice as to which would be best; to
break it out thoroughly the first time,
or give it entire surface culture ?
Answer.—ls you will examine the
roots of very young corn you will find
that they extend out a considerable dis
tance very near the surface. This hor
izontal growth will be found to con
tinue for a considerable distance before
they begin to sink deeper into the soil.
Therefore deep plowing at first must
necessarily cut some of the small roots,
but if the land has been poorly prepared,
or is of the stiff quality, which has been
packed by heavy rains after preparation,
we should certainly take the risk of
deep plowing the first time. The root
pruning is certainly less injurious at
that period than later on. In doing this
work be careful not to throw too much
dirt to the young corn. The old plan of
“hilling up the corn,’’ causes it to throw
out a set of roots prematurely. A little
soil sifted in at each successive -working
is desirable and beneficial; anything
more than that is injurious.—State Ag
ricultural Department.
Fertilizing Sweet Potatoes.
Question.—l desire to know the best
■ fertilizer for sweet potatoes, and how
much to apply per acre.
Answer.—lt has been found that
sweet potatoes require a good deal of ni
trogen and potash, and not as much
phosphoric acid as was once thought to
be necessary. A good mixture would
be 200 pounds acid phosphate, 300 pounds
cottonseed meal and 500 pounds kainit.
The amount to be used to the acre de
pends upon the character of the land
upon which you wish to apply it. On
I well prepared land, full of humus or
' vegetable matter, 1,000 pounds of-the
I above mixture could be used with profit.
; On lands only moderately supplied with
j humus, a much less quantity should be
I used, and on thin land devoid of humus
200 pounds of the above mixture would
be ample.—State Agricultural Depart
ment.
