AN INTERESTING WAITER GIRL F."
EXPERIMENT IN SAN FRANcIsCo-Iow
IT CAME OUr.-Some weeks sgo, writes
San francisco correspondent, ia .shrewd
Yankee arrived here from the East, and
after looking around for tire and finding
that two thirds Of the people Of San
Francisco boarded in restaurants, con-
cluded to 60 into thats'businesss. He had
observed that all the restaurant keepers
employed fat, lazy and dirty men of all
nations for cooks and walters, aud he con.
ce;ved the idea that if The employed girls
neat, tidy, quick witted and good looking
girls for walters, he would secure large
custom Immediately. He accordingly ran.
sacked the employment Office for recruits,
and finally secured twenty pretty girls
TWO Of these he placed behind the counter
FOR money takers, and the remainder were
instructed to "p pass around the hash," The
novelty of the thing made it take immedi-
diaely Tho restaurant was crowded from
morning till night. Ne one thought of
eating less than twenty FIVE cents worth.
( You must know that a person can get a
fine meal for fifteen or twenty cents, and
when they devoured thirty seven cents
worth they would then toss the money
takers a fifty cent piece and walk away
Sith a nonchalant air. The proprietor
was in ecstacies, and walked about rub
bing his hands with unc,ious delight
Many of the customers would call for iceS
cream and ask the fair witnesses to Join
them they were consequently filled chuck
full Of nice things all the tune. Matters
progressed fuely for several weeks, when
the proprietor began to find that his walters
were not so attentive as they ought to be
they would serve some good hooking fellow
what he would call for, ard would sit down
and chat with him while other customers
we're waiting to be served. He repri-
manded the girls several times, but without
effect, so he determined TO secure another
lot and discharge the whole caboodle. He
began his search for substitutes, saying
nothing of his designs. Yesterday how
ever, he was staggered. If John Morrisey
or Johney Heenan had struck him blow
below the belt he could not have been
more astonished for after the duties of
the day were concluded, and the cash
counted, he was asked to attend church
with the girls, as one of them was going to
be married. Of course he would go, and
he would give away the bride. Ifthey had
given him notice in time he would have
given them a nice wedding supper. An
hours time sufieed for the girls to dress,
and then they all proceeded to the church,
where every one of them was married.
During their brief career of four weeks in
the restaurant they had been wooeG and
won by young fellows wi o we're anxious to
find companions for life, but who, owing to
the peculiar mode of living in San Francis
co, had had no opportunity Of forming
female acquaintances. This morning he is
rushing about like chicken with its head

Died, at his residence, in the to wu of
Bolivar, on Sunday the 18th inst, LEROY
BURT, aged &c years.
He was born in Halifax County, \. c.,
Jan. 10th, 1903. Came to Bolivar in the
year 1928, where he has lived ever since,
and was, therefore, citizen of forty years
standing. He suffered very much during
the latter part of his life from an inculrable
cancer which, with the addition of a very
severe cold probably caused his death. He
leaves two sons and one daughter to mourn
his loss
For six years last past he has been de-
voted and consistent member of the Episco-
pal Church, and died in full confidence of a
joyful resurrection
Blessed are the dead that die in the
Lord: even so saith the Spirit, for they rest
from their labors"

). MILTON HUBBARD.-From a card which
appears elsewhere in this paper it will be
seen that this welLknown and popular
teacher will open the spring session of his
limited and select school for boys, on the
first Monday in February next Prof Hub
bard is certainly a teacher of rare merits.
Speaking of him, Rev. Dr. Rivers, an emf
nent Methodist divine, now President of
Logan Female College, Kentucky, says:
81. Milton Hubbard is a regular Master
of Arts, from Wesleyan University, Flor
ence, Alabama He took his degrees while
l had charge of the University. He stood
very high as faithful, punctual, and emf
nently successful student. In Mathematics
and Ancient Languages he had few equals
and he was among the very first in the
Moral and natural sciences.
IS teacher, he has been remarkable
for his deep devotion to his work and for
his eminent success | therefore take great
pleasure in commencing Prof Hubbard as
fine scholar and as q thorough and able
teacher BY reference To my book on
Moral Philosophy, it will be seen how
highly he was then appreciated by me. His
whole course since then has been such as
to Justify the opinion then expressed"
In addition to the above, the following is
more than sufficient to convince all that
Prof. Hubbard is teacher, experienced and
well liked by the gentlemen who received
their education at his hands:
BOLIVAR, Jan. Dist, 1869
The undersigned, former students of J.
NJ. Hubbard, take great pleasure in recon-
mending him as a faithful and competent
teacher in the varisus departments. We
are satisfied that those wishing their boys
educated cannot do better by sending them
elsewhere.

The Great Cough Remedy
TRIUMPHANT SUCCESS Or The HuRgdTlaT
BaLsdna of Life.

Triumphant Success OF the Hungarian
BaLsam of Life
The astonishing success of the Hungarian
Balsam, In the cure of every form of Con-
sumption, warrants the proprietors in solicit
ing for treatment the worst possible cases
that can be found in the community-cases
that seek relief in vain from any of the COM
mon remedies Of the day, and have been
given up by the most distinguished physi-
clans as confirmed and incurable. The
Hungarian Balsam has cured, and viii cure,
the most desperate of cases. 1t IS no quack
nostrum, but a standard medicine, OF known
and established efficacy.
Every family in the United States should
be supplied with the Hungarian Balsam of
Life, not only TO counterfeit the consumptive
tendencies Of the climate, but to De used as
Coughs, Splitting of Blood, Pain in the side
and Chest Irritation and Soreness of the
Lungs, Bronchitis, Difficulty of Breathing,
Hectic Fever Night Sweats, Emaciation,
General Debility, Asthma, influenza, Whoop-
ing Cough, and Croop. In case of actual
disease of the Lungs, or seated Consumption.
it is the only source of hope. The
Hungarian Balsam of Lite
is rapidly advancing in the estimation of the
public, wherever it has been used 1t is no
empirical remedy, forced upon the public by
indirect means. 1t is the old English cure
for Consumption, which has relieved more
cases of Lung Diseases than all the "Cherry
PeetOrals and "ExpectOrants' known; be-
ing entirely free from opium and other mar
cotic drugs, which are the principal ing=e-
dents in most of the cough remedies of the
day, and which only palliate and stupefy the
patient without affording permanent relief
While this great English Remedy acts
specifically upon the lungs, curing promptly
all ordinary Coughs and Colds, and, If per-
severed IN, viii most effectually cure Con-
sumption. If this does not cure you, you
can put your case down as hopeless.
Testimonials are daily pouring in upon US,
of cures having been performed, even where
the most eminent medical men had aban-
dOned all hope.
