Pimples, Eruptions, Rough Skin.-The
system being put under the influence Of
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for
3 few weeks, the skin becomes smooth,
clear, soft and velyety, aud being i.lumina-
ated with the glow of perfect health from
within, true beauty stands forth in all its
glory. Nothing ever presented to the pub
lie as a beautifier of the compilation ever
gave such satisfaction for this purpose as
this discovery. The effects Of all medi-
oines which operate upon the. system
through the medium Of the blood are nee
essarily somewhat slow, no matter how
good the remedy employed, While one to
three bottles clear the skin Of pimples,
blotches, eruptions, yellow spots, come
dones or "grubs," dozen may possibly be
required to cure some cases where the sys-
tenn is rotten with scrofulous or virulent
blood poisons. The cure Of all these dis
eases, however, from the common pimple
to the worst scrofula, is with the use of this
most potent agent, only a matter Of time.
1t is sold by druggists everywhere.

Such wonderful resignation to Gods will; such
Unbounded, unfaltering faith in His promises;
such peace and joy in the midst of suffering,
my pen fails to portray. Her greatest fsult'

bearing injury rather than to seem harsh. Her in.
tellect, naturally bright, frightened instead Of
losing lustre as her body wasted from disease
and it seemed to psrtake of sheayenly grandeur
before she left this dimly-visOned world. Nearing
the cold tide, her mother feared she light shrink

Jke GiEbert sisters.

Last night the opening entertainment by
the Gilbert Sisters, at Masonic Theatre,
was most happily conducted. In addition
to the very laUdable object of the occasion
the benefit of the Capitol Guards-the
evenings brilliant star, Miss Katie Gilbert,
attracted large attendance, whose appTe-
ciative enjoyment Of the excellent manner
in which the various actors conducted their
respective roles was manifested in frequent
applause. Miss Katie Gilbert is pleasant
actress, and is withal graceful, surprising
in the aptitude of her varied talent most
persons OF her age in the profession. Since
her former appearance among US she has
cry classed high in that art of
which she is an earnest exponent.
As FGnchon the cricket, Miss Katie won
are disposed to believe eyer secure that en-
enlargement from the appreciative which
her efforts so richly merit. James II. Gil
bert in the character of Didjer created mer-
riment at every appearance and filled all
with vein of humorous delight. He is
natural, ready and effective in his comic
personations, and is destined to gain rep
GtatiCn commensurate with 2 hig1 order Of
this rare dramatic talent. TIE Gilbert Sis
tiers Troupe deserve credit for the kindness
inducing the benefit for the Capitol Guards.
Tonight Miss Gilbert appears in her grace
full rendition of Mariana, The Gipsey in
Don Caesar de Bazan and also as Margery
in the favorite farce of Our Country Cous-
ms. Now that we have the legitimate dra-
ma, the elite and the cultivated should give
proper encouragement to its production.

Bottles Full of Beauty.-Ladies, if you
would have beauty by the bottIe-fulI, all
you have to do is to purchase HAGAN's
MAGNOLIA BALM. That peerless beauti-
fer of the complexion not only heightens
natural charms, but renders even the plain
est countenance exceedingly attractive. It
recalls to the paid cheek the rosy tinge of
health, removes pimples, blotches, rough
ness, sallowness and other blemishes, and
imbarts to the skin most delicate fairness
and softness. 1t smoOths the burrows caus-
ed by time or care, and gives face, neck
and arms the plump and engaging appear
ance of youthful beauty. AL this is &C
complished by the most natural means, viz:
by gentle and naturally stimulating the cir
culation in the capillary blood vessels. Be-
sides being the most effecbual aid to beauty
known to modern science.

Nashville Transfer Company, is one of the
most elegant vehicles Of its kind we have
ever seen. While it is commodious and

desire to furnish my testimony in be-
half of DR.. Jayne's excellent medicine, the
Expectorant. l have been troubled with
Asthma for over two years, and it became
so bad last fall and winter, that could not
walk over twenty rods without sitting down
to rest; neither could L psrform work of
any kind. If chopped wood briskly for
five minutes, would fall down for want of
breath, so firmly had the disease taken hold
of me. Finally, was persuaded to try the
Expactorant, and procuring bottle from
Messrs. Hawley & Etchell, of this place,
commenced using it. After taking, in all
four bottles, am now able to do as much
work in day as any man in my neighbor-

DREAD ACCIDENT.
4 Boy Burned TO Death and - Gin
HOuse DESTROYED.


The Alamo Patriot of Sept. q says: "On
Monday last, about 9 A. NJ, a most horri-
bic accident occurred on the farm of Mr..
Porter Folice, who resides near BellViile.
His sou, a boy sixteen or seventeen years
old, was in the gin house ginning cotton.
About the time above mentioned, some one
discovered that the Clubhouse was on fire.
Before anything could be done, the build
ing was wrapped in flames, and every
effort to eXtinguish the fire was unavailing.
The boy was missing and it was supposed
he had gone away for some purpose, when
during the progress of the fire, his body,
partly consumed, was discovered where it
was impossible to rescue it from the fiery
element. The building was entirely des-
troyed, and the body with it. No reason
can be assigned for the fire, but it is sup
posed that some substance, probably, a
match, ia passing through the gin iguited
and conveying the fire directly to the lint
room Immediately set the whole building
on fire. Altogether it is sad affair, and
Mr. Folice has the heartfelt sympathy of
the community"
