Messrs, Perry Davis d Son Gdatienacn =
Allow me, unsolicited. to send you a word of
communication for your Pain Killer. / have
used it III my family these several years, and
fonnd it all it claims to be. For Rheumatism,
Coughs Colds Bures. Cholera tendencies and
difficulties. as well as diseases generally that
prevail in families, regard The Pain Killer as
beyo all price, and effcacious beyond
any medicine within my knowledge. We
keep il as our chief family medicine. and find
its use in ordinary cases worth more than any
doctor. The testimony of others among my
acquaintance and friends is equally fayola-
able Many clergymen have spoken of it i'll
the highest terms as family medicine. Mis-
sionaries in repeated instances have said to me
in person and in their letters, that the Pain
Killer was by far the best medicine used in
heather lands, and they use it for themselves
and families, and administer it to others
around them Thus mnch | am inclined TO
say as an act of instice to yourselves; and as a
benefit to others. You are at liberty to use
this testimonial, if of any SER ice.

4 Moment of Horror.

For twenty three years old Jake Willard
has cultivated the soil in Baldwin county,
and drawn thereirom a support Tor himself
and wife. He il chidless. Not long ago,
Jake left the house i'll search of a missing
cow. His route led him through an old, worn
out patch of clay land, of about six acres IN
extent in the centre of which was well,
twenty-five or thirty feet deep, that, at some
time probably, had furnished the inmates of
Il dilapidated house near by with water
In passing by this spot an i'll wind drfted
Jake's "tle' from his head, and maliciOusly
waited 1t TO the edge of the well, and in it
tumbled.
Now, Jake had always practced the virtue
of economy, and he Immediately set about
recovering the lost hat. He TO the we'll,
and finding it dry at the bottom, he I'M
coiled the rope which he had brought for the
purpose of capturing the truant cow, and
after several attempts to catch the hat with
moose, he concluded to save time by going
WIN into the well himself. To accomplish
this, he made fast one end of the rope to
stump hard by, and was soon on his way
down the we'll.
1t is a fact, Of which Jake was no less
Oblivious than the reader hereof, that Ned
Wells was in the dilapidated building afore-
said, and that an old blind horse, with a bell
on his neck, who had been turned out to die,
was laZily grazing within a short distance OF
the we'll
The devil himself, or some other wicked spi-
rit, put it into Neds Uranium to have a little
fun; so he quietly slipped up to the horse, I'M
and measured ting q ling to the edge OF the
we'll.
Dang the old blind horse % said Jake
''he's comm this way, sure, and amt got no
more sense nor to fall i'll here. Whoa, Ball ~
But the continued approach of the ting "a
ling said, just rs plain as words, that old
Ball wouldn't "whoa." Besides, Jake was
at the bottom, resting before trying TO ''shn''
it up the rope.
"(ireat Jerusalem - said he, ''the old CUES
will be atop o. me fore L can say Jack Rob
iuson Whoa dang yOn, whoa :"
Just then Ned drew up to the edge OF the
we'll and with his foot kicked little dirt in
to it.
''Oh Lord - exclaimed Jake, falling on his
knees al the bottom of the well I'm gone
now!-Whoa Now lay me down TO sleep
Whoa Ball pray the Lord my soul to
Whoa now--Oh Lord have mercy on mei''
Ned could hold i'll no longer, and, fearful
that Jake might suffer from his fright, he re-
vealed himself.
Probably Ned didn't make tracks with his
heels toward that we'll. May be Jake wasn't
up TO the top of it in short order. Maybe not.
| don't know. But l do know that if Jake
finds out who sent You this, ii will the last
suuib You'll get from me.
