A PIN IN a GIRLS THROAT
THREE YEARs.-Miss De Frame
Gale, a young lady OF Norwich.
n. Y, has been i'll for upwards OF
three years with a bad cough, which
did not yield to treatment, and ply
siclans pronounced her disease con-
sumption. During the latter part OF
last week, for three successive days,
she coughed more than usual, and
on Saturday morning, during a Sc.
we're spell, she coughed up a pin.
The action Of the acids of the system
has reduced it to ahou. one-halt the
original length, and the lower part
of the remaining portion was worn
as small as the finest silk. How long
the pin has been swallowed she does
not know, but from the fact that she
is now rapidly recovering, it is sup
posed to have been about three
years the period Of her illness.

The BLESSED asin.

The Seventh Anniversary of the Battle
for Redemption, tho l4th Of September,
brought with it, at early morn, q re-
freshing shower, the precursor of most
bountiful ones which fell during the
evening and night. This morning We
breathe in new atmosphere. The sti-
fling dust that has covered the parched
earth during the protracted drouth that
has reached it's timely end, is washed
away and with it the impurities of the
surface, which we're fast bringing tho
summer malaria. The hot wave of 1891
has melted away and the cooling blasts
OF Autumn are sweeping over the land.
The stnnted sugar cane will take fresh
growth, the gardens will again show
their green coats and the hum of com
merce will animate the hitherto deserted
highways and thoroughtares. Thank
God, there slife once more in Louisiana.

~ did reverent friend Of ours. He So
cured from his draggist . bottle of
Browns Iron Bitters, having heard of
its merit from physician, who told him
not to take any other Bltters or Tonic.
for with the exception of Browns Iron
Bitters, they all contained alcohol, and
had failed to give his patients lasting
relief; nor should he take any other
preparation of Iron, for with the excep-
ton of Browns Iron Bitters. they all
blackened the teeth, and often gave
headache, which Browns Iron Bitters
never did, bat in fact cured headache.
The effect was most satisfactory he
realized wonderful results.
His old energy returned, his natural
force came back, and he felt himself al
together q nev man, fill Of health,

Acknowledging tho Corn.

Our clcar-headed citizens are begin.
ming TO acknowledge that their local
papers have been doing yeoman service
for Baton Rouge, by continually holding
its favored location and advantages Ia
the attention of the outer world. The
effects of the good work accomplished by
the Advocate and CAprToL1AN are seen
BY the wholesale reftting, bnilding. re-.
pairing ofhouses, sidew alks, etc., which
is going on all over the city to an extent
never before witnessed, even in the hal
cyon days. Everybody acknowledges
that it is next to impossible to supply
the demand for houses of all styles. by
newcomers, who ore daily locating in

Newspapers are always fairsample of
the community where they are publish

support they receive warrants them in
doing,
Merchants and others ought 10 know
that every cent spent in advertising en-
ables the local paper to advertise their
town and themselves the more.
The more business houses ore advcr.
tised in the columns of the local papers
the greater does the Importance of a
town appear to the outside world, that

The Street Railway.

On wednesday meeting was held
looking to the organization of a street
Railway Company, in this city. A com
mittee was appointed to draft the neces-
sary Charter of incorporation. The
Capital Stock is to be- fixed at $50, 600.
in shares OF 500 each, payable in Install
mehts OF ten per cent. IL is proposed
te begin operations as soon AZ an amount
sufficient to construct one mile has been
realized.
From the character of tho gentlemen
connected with this lsudable enterprise.
we are led to the conclusion that they
will not clay down their arms" until
the Capital City, has first class street
railway accommodations We are proud
to say that the CAPIroLlAN was first in
pointing out the great advantages which
would accrue to orr city by the estab-
lishmeut OF sneh public convenience,
which has been found everywhere to be-
the most remuneratiye Investment.
