Fire md Tsny,nn,,al d,itv.

we take the following account OF
the late fire at Raymond City, Put

will be seen that our fellow-towns-
man, J.J, Bright, Esq, is q heavy
looser:
AT 2 o'clock Wednesday morning,
April I'd, the neighborhood of Wal.
ker's Landing was aroused by DR.. I.
?. Carpenter giving the alarm that
MIR. Brighrs store was burning down.
Before the people got congregated on
the ground, the entire building was
enveloped ina sheet of flame. It be.

zens, the storehouse could not be say
ed, and every energy was directed to
ward saving the adjoining buildings.
The wind blowing in the direction
of the large new two story frame
building Of R. N. Lilly, used as a
dwelling, carried the flames in that
direction, and soon it was wrapt in a
perfect blaze, and in less than thirty
minutes it was reduced toashes. BY
a great effort, aided by wet blankets,
Mr.. Lilly's storehouse was saved

storehouse destroyed was purchased
by ]. J. Bright, lat bankrupt sale, on
1.-THE 10Th of last month, for 81, 100,
and we learn the building had 81 COO
insurance on it. Up to the time Of
going to press, we have been unable
to learn whether the stock was COW

no insurance on it, his loss must be
from $4,000 to $4,000, That the

the store was first robbed and then

A Word 10 Douhfers.

There is a good old English maxim that
teaches us to 'believe every man honest until
we know him to BE- villain" American Gus
tom seems to have reversed this law and APP
pears to make every man villain until he has
proved himself an honest man. AS with peo-
pie, so with things. Every article placed in
our markets can lay claim to popular favor
upon intrinsic merit and value alone. Con-
tinued popularity, therefore, is proof positive
of intrinsic excellence. DIR. Pierce's Family
Remedies are far more popular to-day thar
ever before. The people have tested them and
know them to be genuine remedies for the dis
eases they are recommended to cure. The
Golden Medical Discovery and Purgative Pei
lets are the best Alternative, tonic, and cathar-
tic remedies that can be used in chronic dis
eases of the stomach and liver. The world
wide popularity of the Favorite Prescription,
as Railing remedy for Female Diseases,
would have alone secured to its discovefer the
fame he has so richly won. DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, of. which DR.. Pierce is also proprie-
tor, is recommended by those who have tested
its virtues as safe and reliable remedy for
catarrh in its worst forms.

The Matter With Women's Shoes.

LET me give you the result of my
observation and thought: The sole is
too narrow! My friend, Mrs. G., in
reading the chapter in :" Our Girls de-
voted to "Boots and Shoes" came to
say that although she was a great suf-
ferer from corns, and a general sore
and crippled condition of feet, her
shoes were nevertheless enormous
twice as large as her feet. She wished
I would see if it was not so. ex-
amined the shoes, and agreed with her
that they we're too large. As she
stepped, it was doubtless true, as she
said, that her foot rocked over first on
this side and then on that. Now it
pressed over on the outside, rubbing
down over the edge or the sole and
touching the ground, and perhaps, if
the ground was at all uneven, In the
very next step her boot would rock
over on the other side of the sole.
Such friction between the little toe and
the big toe joints against the upper
leather must inevitably produce corns.
l think the majority of shoes are too
large.
Mrs. G. wished me to accompany her
to the shoemaker's and see what could
do for her relief, for really life was be-
coming a torture. We went to her own
shoemaker. Mrs. G. hobbled to q seat
and declared:
II won't try to walk again. there"
Her shoe was removed, and Mr..
Shoemaker marked around her foot,
while she was standing upon it. We
measured the mark and found it was
exactly four inches. That was the
width of her foot when she stepped
on it without shoe. Then we meas
ured the sole of the shoe she had been
wearing, and found it two and half
inches. Here was the secret of the whole
trouble.
Apair of shoes were made for her at
once with soles four inches broad.
Now she can walk for hours without
pain in her feet:
There are millions of poor sufferers
in the country, who are limping and
hobbling through the world, who might
be perfectly relieved and cured by the
same means.-Dr. DiO LesCis.

The next moment he has caught
Nell in his arms and is kissing away

Janet.
