The other day poor woman who

claimed, Mrs. Marjorie. l am in so

house and the corner. ] must have
dropped it in the street. What shall 1

The only thing / could advise was
that she should insert an advertisement
of her loss in the paper; and as she did
not know hOw to write, | wrote one for
her Then | said: How came you to
lose your pocket-book? Was there a
hole in your pocket?'
She showed me a rip between the
lining and the outside of her dress, and
said she supposed she had slipped her
money through that instead OF into the
right place. give been meaning to

After a circus performance in
Griffin, Ga, while the elephants were
being driven through the streets, some
person gave one of them a piece of to-
bacco. The elephant had no sooner re-
ceived the tobacco than he became in
furiated and made dash for his teaser,
right through a crowd. Everybody
scattered, of course, and the scene rep
resented a frightful stampede. For
tunately no one was seriously hurt, and
the maddened elephant was finally cap
tured. Things looked rather squally
for while, as the elephant was in thor
ough earnest, and roared and beloved
with terrific rage.

DR.. JOHN BULLS
Smiths TODiC Syrup
FOR THE CURE OF
fever and AGUE
Or CHILLS and FEVER.

Inc proprietor OF this celebrated medicine
justly claims for it q super GRITTY over all rem
edies ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure
ofAgUe and Fever, or Chills aud Fever, wheth-
or of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country TO bear
him testimony to the truth of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure il
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out, In great many cases a single dose has
been sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per-
fec restoration Of the general health. 1t is,
however, prudent, and in every case more cer-
tain to cure, If its use is continued in smaller
doses for a week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order Should the patient, however re-
quire cathartic medicine, after having taken
three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose
of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS
will be sufficient.

Port Crane Wine.

This Wine is made in New Jersey,
and is SAID to surpass anything in the
way of wine ever made. 1t is called
Speer's Wine, produced by Mr.. Speer.
Since the true analysis of it's proper
ties was published by James r. Chill
ton & Co., those who could afford it
adopted its use in preference to foreign
wines. Prof. Chiffon used it in his
own family, and has written to the
public the following card.
Labratory of J. r. Chiffon & Co.,
New York, March il.
We made careful analysis of the
Port Grape Wine produced by Mr.. Al.
fred Speer, and do not hesitate in pro-
nouncing it pure; it contains all the
properties of the Oporto Grape, and
therefore, for medicinal uses, it is SUI
perior to other wines. lis principal eff
fects upon the system are mildly stim-
ulating, diuretie, sudorific and tonic.
1t will prove beneficial in affections OF
the kidneys and chronic diseases, with
general debility of the constitution
Physicians may safely recommend il
to their patients, in place of the many
doubtful mixtures too often sold a.
pure wine.
James r. Chiffon & Co., Analytical
| Chemists.
This wine can be had of M. Schnecl
and is most excellent article for weak
ly persons, especially females. 1t is
very superior table wine, and the mos
healthy drink now in use. 1t is not I;
spirited or manufactured article, lik
most native wines.

son, a well known citizen of Ravenna,
died at his residence about 10 o'clock
on Monday morning from injuries oc-
casioned by the falling of a ladder

slowly but surely recovering from his
injuries, and the announcement of his
death created much surprise. Mr..
Williamson was in the 9th year of his
age. He was an intelligent and sue
cessful farmer, taking an active inter-
est in all matters calculated to advance
the interests of those engaged in that
great leading industry. His loss will

Last week as Miss Mertie Frazer
and sister, Mrs. Eliza beth Sanford.
were returning 10 Ravenna from a
visit to Jefferson County, they were
accosted by man who gave his name
as Turner, of Rayenna. He engaged
in conversation,ando offered some kind
favors, which were refused. AS soon
as the train had left the depot from
Alliance, he came up to his victim in
seemingly great hurry, with dollar
bill and a pocketbook in his hand,
wanting a dollar in small change.
Miss Frazer, thinking no harm. pro-
cceded at once to give him the change.
AS soon as she opened her pure, the
villain grabbed what bills there were,
amounting to twenty dollars, then
jumped from the running train, leav-
ing in her seat another pocketbook
filled with paper, and tied with a
shoe string. When the train reached
Limaville, a dispatch was sent back to
Alliance, and detectives were put on
track, and it is hoped the villain will
be brought to justice.
