Of the wealthy and highly respectable house of
Messrs. Noris Bro, of this city and presents ONE
OF THE MOST WONDERFUL CURES IN THE ANNALS of
medical history:
Mr.. II. G. Farrell-Dear Sir: Actuated by q sense
OF gratefulness, l submit the following as an in
stance OF the utility of your great medicine My
child, three years old, suddenly attacked with
terrible disease, which in less than six hours pros
trated it to total helplessness. The limbs became
so rigid that not joint could be bent; the flesh
turned black and cold and entirely deprived of fee!
ing; the eyes fixed, partially closed and altogether
bling, following this was deafness TO all sounds
the spine became contracted and so curved tdat
when lying on its back the head and heels only
touched. Indeed, the child presented every ap
pearance of being dead. Immediately on the at
tack, the family physician called in and tol
three weeks he abored to restore il to feeling but
all in vain, although it was blistered dozen times
and various rubefacient Lniments applied. A con
sultatiOn of physicians then held. but to pur
pose the case was then brought before the Nedica
Society, but nothing could be suggested which haC
not already been done, and the doctor then told
he could do nothing more. We then commenced
applying your Liniment freeley over the entire
length Of the spine and you may imagine parentt
| Joy, when, after few applications returning ami
nation was apparent, and it rapidly recovered witt
| the exception of the sight, which did not beccm,
perfect for near month The child is now healthy
and robust can be. Five other cases of the sam.
| kind occurred previously in my neighborhood, al
of which died, when there is doubt if your Lini
ment had been used they would have recovered.

ElkmOnt Springs.

Mr.. EDITOR Il will make an at
tempt to represent our neighbor-
hood in your valuable paper. |
may not do it with elegance, but
what lack in manner l hope will
be made up by honesty of purpose.
Our neighborhood will compare with
any in the county for industrious
and energetic citizens, also for beau
tiful young ladies and gallant young
gentlemen. We are blessed with an
excellent physician, w. L: Moores,
who is getting as much practice as
he can do.
Our farmers are almost through
planting corn, and are preparing
for cotton. We anticipate a fine
yield of fruit, that is, if the frost
don't kill it. Wheat is looking well
and we are expecting a fine crop.
We have a very fine school at
Elkmont school house. The charm
ing and accomplished Miss Josie
Edmiston of Bethany is our teach
er, but / tear we will not keep her
with US more than one session.
Our neighborhood is honored at
present with Mr. March of Fayette-
vile, who is attending the Springs
for his health. We wish his stay
may be pleasant.
Candidates are very plentiful on
this side of the river. We wish
them success-that is, some of them
they can't all be elected. So hur-

A Social Barbecue.

Last Thursday by special invita-
ton we enjoyed a private barbecue
over on the island, gotten up and
enjoyed by a few families. The
barbecue was as good as we ever
assisted IN demolishing, for the ex-
ecution of which the eaters we're in
debted to Mr.. Frank Bunch. The
ladies', including Mrs. Bunch, Mrs.
Dishongh, Mrs. Inman, Mrs. God
troy, Mrs. Pitman, Mrs. Bumpass
and others contributed light bread,
biscuit, cakes, corn bread, pickles,
jellies, onions, eggs, peaches, chick
ems, salads, custards, etc, etc. But
the barbecue and the excellent cup
of coffee made for us by Mrs.
Frank Bunch occupied most of our
time and attention. Brother Dillon
occupied a position at our elbow
and demonstrated good eating ca
pacity, while on our left John Rid
dle-well we wouldn't like to say
how much he did eat. That there
was great abundance is proven by
the fact that half the viands re-
manned untouched after DR.. Toll.
Grant had eaten enough, and had
wrapped up some to take home for
fear he might get sick and need it.

best dinners we ever eat.

Death of Rev. F. F. Pagan.

With profound SORROW we an
nounce the death of this man OF
God. 1t is truly a mysterious dis
pensation of Providence which cuts
down a minister in the prime OF
young manhood and in the midst
of great usefulness, but ''He doeth
all things FOR the best" We can
only say Thy will be DONE" De
ceased was one Of Gods noblemen,
and one of his chosen servants.
The future only a few short days
ago was bright and promising be
fore him; his wife and children re-
joiced in his companionship and
love; the Church prospered under
his hands; the heayy-ladened were
cheered by his counsel, and life was
buoyant and bright Now, he
sleeps the last sleep-his wife
widow, his children orphans and
his church mourners. They are the
losers, but he has gained the
kingdom, and is now wearing the
crown: for he was faithful unto the
end. His remains were brought to
Pulaski Friday and Inferred with
Masonic honors in the new GENE
terry. Services at the Methodist
Church were participated in by
Revs. j. d. Barbee, S. NJ. Cherry, j.
B. Anderson, DR.. Rivers, and the
pastor, A. @. Dinwiddie. The flu
neral sermon was postponed until
the 9Th Sunday IN June, when 1t
will be preached at Pulaski by Rev.
A. G.. Dinwiddie.
Deceased was 81 years of age, and
at the the time of his death was
pastor of the Petersburg circuit.
Pneumonia made quick havoc with
one whose lungs were already
and whose liver had
been diseased for 20 years.

Supernatural Soliciting.

Maj. H. NJ: Doak, of the Nash
vile American, gave Pulaski an OPP
portunity last Friday night to hear
his beautiful and eloquent lecture
on Supernatural Soliciting, or Su-
perstition, but Pulaski awaited itself
of the opportunity to very limited
extent. There were very few audi
tors, but the accomplished and
genial lecturer may find consola-
ton in the fact that they were the
most appreciative people in town.
Certainly they enjoyed the rare
feast Mr.. Doak had prepared for
them. but not to the same extent
they would have done if Pulaski
literGteurs had only honored them
selves by honoring the distin
guished lecturer, and thereby shown
their appreciation of real merit and
their interest in the discussion of a
subject which, though metaphysical
to some extent, is also most prac-
tical, and interviewer with the every
day life of almost every man and
woman. Mr.. Doak handled it from
dramatic standpoint, with a fine
voice and with grace and ease of
manner.
