The gfollowing correspondence of
rreat interest to all:

1,-ar Sira- I feel lt n ’. v dut - v to ,he P ub,lc
•enerallv to publish my experience with vour
K valuable preparation, H. H. I'. I was
* great deal with biliousness and
married in a few days and was at a loss what
0 do, as I was generally depressed. I fortu “ a -
Ulv met Mr Newt Heggie on the streets of St.
iVuis, When he gave me a bottle ot H. H. 1
Itacted like a charm, and in three days I was
.IrtartW relieved. So pleased was I with the
TO bought a dozen bottles, and for the
sum of M "pent I received ten fold returns.
Yours truly,
Thomas G. Bbovke.
The above is forcibly illustrated by
the following private letter to Mr.
Heggl# Lo t! i 81 March 3, 1886.
Dear Newt-How I can ever thank you
suflicientlv for your recommendation of H. H.
p Ido not know, but rest assured I feel under
many obligations. After my wife and I return
ed from our bridal tour nothing would do Sally
but to have her mother live with us. She
came and from the first began quarreling
with the cook, the butter, house girl and all,
and in fact raising a row about everything.
Nothing could please her. The tea was too
strong or too weak. When we had pie she want
ed pudding. At last patience ceased to be a
virtue, and, being strongly under the impress
ing she was crazy, I sent for Dr. J.--. He
after a careful diagnosis ofher case, said she
was suffering from biliousness and torpid liver.
I then saw at last peace and happiness in view.
I induced her to take H. H. P. Even the first
dose made a marvelous change and after
having used two bottles, “mirabli dicta, she
has become the nicest old lady in the land. If
1 had not fortunately met you on the street I
fear that ere this I would have been a lunatic.
Mv idvice to you to, if you ever get married,
and to all other young couples, is to lay in
a few bottles of ft. H. P. With kind regards, I
am your friend, T « M *
O._ The neighbors are surprised at the
great change in my mother-in-law. Tell the
proprietor# of H. H. P. that when I tell them
the cause they will have to enlarge their busi
ness. Send me one dozen.by express.
For sale by all Druggists at
50 cents a bottle.
Try it once and you
will be pleased.
Read and be con
vinced.

Lincolnton News: The Rev. H. F.
Oliver preached a very excellent and
eloquent sermon at. Salem on Sunday
last A commentary on the first
twelve verses of the Savior’s sermon
on the mount. He is indeed endow
ed with pulpit eloquence of the
highest order and is well equipped
mentally, and as we believe spiritu
ally forthe great work of promulgat
ing the gospel.
Some of tiie young gallants who,
every Sunday night escort the win
some young misses to prayer meeting,
have administered a piece of advice
to the News for misrepresenting the
ages of the young chevaliers: “I
demand, imperatively demand, sir,
that you correct the statement that 1
Mas only 12 years old. Sir, lam
going on 13. This ih not, sir, in the
nature of a request; it is a command,
sir.”
One of Lincolnton’s swells accom
panied by a few other fellow-dudes,
went out to prayer meeting last Sun
day night. After services be gallantly
strode up to one of our belle 9, ami in
his most courteous and puissant man
ner, asked leave to escort her home.
The young lady (fortunately or unfor
tunately) was already provided for,
and so signified it by a n gative nod,
which, by the dim light of the
inconstant moon, our hero construed
to be an affirmative answer. So he
twisted up his arm in the latest agopy
of an approved crook, and chivalrous
ly offered it. The young lady didn’t
see fit to “catch on” and so they
see-sawed until her escort relieved
them, when the would-be gallant,
struck out for home at the velocity of
cornet-cast athwart your starry dome,
and with the momentum of a man
who had been tickling the heels of a
highly organized Georgia mule.

Gibson Enterprise: Mr. Julius
Flury is preparing for the manufacture
of brick. Rocky Comfort creek’s
rising on his yard last summer de
stroyed about two-thirds of all his
brick, but this year the yard is on
higher land, and what he makes he
will keep. Success to him, and may
he yet be able to assist in putting a
red hue on the new part of the
town.
Various papers on the Georgia

The snake crop is abundant this

WILKES.
Washington Gazette: Mr. R. L.
Foreman, who is one of the most
thorough-going farmers in Wilkes
county, has ten acres of suburban
farm so well terraced that lie says he
is satisfied that, as much as a gallon of
water has not run off of it since hist
October. He says that with land
well terraced corn can be made with
half the rain required on hind that is
not, terraced.
Mr. Milton R. Barrett, of this coun
ty, was a soldier under Gen. Gordon
during the war. One day on a long
inarch Mr. Barrett was sick and
scarcely able to keep up with the
other troops, when the gallant Gor
don discovered his condition. The
General dismounted, made the tick
soldier ride, while he himself walked
nil the <hiy. It is no wonder that Mr.
Barrett is one of the most enthusias
tic supporters of Gordon in Georgia.
We publish this in justice to two old
soldiers, although we are not of their
present persuasion.
WUIIIEN
Clipper: Rev T J Cumming is not
only a very forcible and eloquent
expounder of the gospel, but recent
developements display that he is also
a detective of no ordinary ability.
For several weeks past there had been
a painfully perceptible and unac
countable disappearance of provisions
from his family larder. Failing to
detect any decided increase in the
appetite of his family he naturally
concluded that some unregistered
parasite was feeding on his store, and
in order to cut off connections from
this source he change 1 his lock. For
several days afterwards the decrease
of provisions was beautifully less, but
when he was about to congratulate
himself on the situation the depreda
tions on his larder were again inau
gurated with telling force. The
reverend gentleman bore his persecu
tioiismaiil'iilly until Tuesday luorning,
when he went into his pantry aud
took a seat. The door of this nec
essary ad junct, was then locked on the
outside by Mrs. Cummings who n,
few moments later left the house,
ostensibly for the purpose of visiting
n neighbor. The house was left in
charge of Bettie, the cook, who
imagined herself its only occupant.
With this idea in her kinky head she
proceeded to the pantry and insert
ing a false key in the lock, opened
the door and entered. A moment 1
later a form issued noiselessly from
the dark recesses of the pantry and
closing the door with a slam, Betty
was a prisoner.
The captive realized her situation
with woeful vividness and made a
powerful effort to secure release by
e oquence and argument, but to no
avail. Mr. Cummings is not the man
to compromise with crime, and Betty
was kept in her close quarters until
the afternoon, when a warrant was
sworn out against her and she was
transferred to the county jail where
she will have ample opportunity to
contemplate the majesty of the eighth
commandment.
